As you can see, very late kernels run on the ARM Cortex-A8 but this is very
much an open source linux process where things get fixed incrementally.
This is not for the end user who just wants to "use it" right this minute as
you can see from color patching questions.  For now, we do not have a driver
for the OpenGL-ES hardware so we will lose lots of speed for those wanting
to hook it to a monitor.

Hi

I try to run the kernel image of Robert and it work!

I run the demo that come with the OMAP35xx EVM in /usr/tests/demo

two problems:
1- pictures are display with wrong colors, in red and black.
2- keyboard event are not working (strange since I see /dev/input/
eventx).

Is someone able to confirm that uImage have been done with:
http://source.mvista.com/git/gitweb.cgi?p=linux-omap-2.6.git;a=log
Cross compiler from codesourcery 2007q3

If so is there a patch to fix the screen colors & keyboard ?

Regards

kap
