#armlinux tkyrger

* tkryger__ is now known as tkryger
<tkryger> uhhimhere: bcm28155-ap is a reference board for that SoC without any RF components.  It was meant to show off the Application Processor which is why we used it to upstream the Linux drivers for the chip

<tkryger> This is in contrast to the Hawaii garnet reference board that was a fully functional cell phone in plastics

<uhhimhere> whoa
<uhhimhere> does that mean that the ap-board woould work
<uhhimhere> wheredya get that
<tkryger> Not necessarily
<tkryger> But it is a decent reference
<uhhimhere> url plz
<tkryger> There isn't really any link I can send you
<uhhimhere> wheredya get that then
<tkryger> I wrote some of the files you mentioned
<uhhimhere> ha ha ha
<uhhimhere> lol
<uhhimhere> which files?
* Notify: tkryger is online (FreeNode).
<tkryger> I was one of the main guys pushing the changeover to device tree and getting our drivers into mainline
<tkryger> Unfortunately, Broadcom decided to exit the mobile business so we never managed to reach feature parity between mainline and our internal tree
<uhhimhere> O_O
<uhhimhere> wow
<tkryger> So basically you have a decent foundation for doing what you want but there would still be a fair amount of work to do
<tkryger> I would love to see it happen so good luck
<uhhimhere> so how different is the board from the phone minus RF
<uhhimhere> thanks, since this is a phone and not a board I'm wondering if they are solder points on the pcb that I could use to get serial debugging going maybe?
<uhhimhere> so no more videocore 4's?
<uhhimhere> outside rbpi?
<tkryger> I don't really have much insight there
<uhhimhere> thats alright
<uhhimhere> so ok

<tkryger> If you don't care about audio, video, or modern you should be okay. If you care about any of those three you might be in for a struggle
<uhhimhere> haha
<tkryger> *modem
<uhhimhere> not really modem
<uhhimhere> but in long run would like to have a/v
<uhhimhere> its a videocore 4
<uhhimhere> you gotta have it!
<uhhimhere> hmmm
