Hello
Just to let you know the MMC has been soldered into the simpad, and the driver is being developped. Currently some basic tests (like powering on and off leds from a kernel module) work fine. Attention - the picture on my website has the MMC card drawn backwards. it should read "Top view" instead of "bottom view". I'll fix the picture. Guylhem |

sash, I'd be happy to host the patch, but IMHO it should be send to Frederic Devernay who host images on his website.
BTW, what about restarting more officially the opensimpad project? I'd like to see my kernel in the opensimpad project, until we or someone else finds some time to work on 2.6 Guylhem |

Sash sent me the MMC driver, and after a few fixes (kernel compile warnings) I commited it to OpenEmbedded (it's a module after all, so it won't bother people who don't use it).
It's also easier to make images for the t-sinuspad or the 128Mb simpad from OE (see the instructions at the beginning of opensimpad-64+0_2.4.27-vrs1-pxa1-jpm1.bb) The new images with MMC support will be ready quite soon (tomorrow?). I wish someone could work on sound support now... Guylhem, won't you need it for your GSM module?

From the OE commit log:
opensimpad: MMC support + better support for SinusPad and 128M SIMpad - There's now a config option to build the kernel for 128Mb SIMpad (as there was one for the SinusPad) - The .bb files automatically turn on these options depending on the total memory available. - The MMC driver was made by Clement Ballabriga <clement@asso.ups-tlse.fr> and Guylhem Aznar <simpad@externe.net>. Adding an MMC card (internal or external) to the SIMpad is described on these pages: http://externe.net/zaurus/simpad-bluetooth/ http://www.iral.com/~albertr/linux/simpad/mmc/ |
