[Ipodlinux-devel] status update 17.02.03

[Bernard L. <le...@bo...>]

Hi all,

Its been a busy couple of weeks since the site first went up, so I
thought I'd write a short update to let you know whats new.

Firstly I've moved my CVS repository onto sourceforge.  This is now the
best way to keep up-to-date with the latest changes.  I don't plan on
creating complete patches that often but I'll try to keep my changes in
CVS.  I've added some basic information on how to build with the CVS
version on the "build instructions" page.  For those that are interested
in helping out with the active development please let me know so we can
sort out the details.

Since the initial patch I've committed two changes.  The most
interesting one is some fix-ups to the frame buffer (LCD) driver. 
Firstly the annoying flashes on startup are gone but even better the
performance has increased dramatically (so much so that now with the
intel MP3 player I'm no longer getting any play glitches!!).  The second
patch adds support for the scroll wheel (thanks to Chandan for sorting
out the protocol!) and hold switch.

I've also done some preliminary work (not in CVS yet) for sorting out
the firewire controller.  Sofar I can talk to the chip and see
interrupts occuring so that at least is a start!

That pretty much covers whats gone so far.  For the next short while I
plan on continuing with the firewire controller.  If anyone has
suggestions on how integrate things like the remote control or power
management I'd be happy to hear them.

cheers,
bern.
