Hey Guys,
I've been working on a project that requires me to connect an arduino to my prime. I've been searching around and have had no luck finding a kernel thats been compiled with the FTDI drivers. I'm not quite savvy enough to do it on my own, so I'm reaching out to you guys to find out if you know of any kernel's for our prime with this driver enabled? Or maybe some enterprising dev on here would like to help me make one.
Thanks for reading.

Are one or both of these what you need to be enabled on a 201 kernel ?

Possibly I'm trying to find the doc I found a few days ago. http://www.ftdichip.com/Android.htm has some info.
I did find a pdf that described how to add to an android kernel. Most of the info I've found revolves around just creating an application. I'm looking to have access to the device in a chroot environment, which means I really need kernel support.

So you are running a bootloader with the version ending with 27.1 ...
So you need a kernel that can boot on that setup with the FTDI drivers enabled ...
Ok, You did say there was a guide for making this work ?
Can you post this guide or a link to the guide ?

I have a dev environment on my laptop(eclipse, adb, github, etc), but I'm not sure its going to be very good for compiling a kernel. late 2011 Macbook air. Last time I tried to compile cm10 I think it tied up a machine for several days (It was for my old nexus S). I really can't afford to do that with this laptop.
I am a dev of sorts, just not an android one. I'm not afraid of command line. Just need some help getting pushed in the right direction. Thnks for the help Josh.

Well this is definitely where I get stuck. Maybe I need to switch to a different rom. He mentions the kernel source in his thread here
He says:
It is the same as the TF700 source but with some changes in ramdisk for TF201.
https://github.com/Hundsbuah/tf700t_10_6_1_14_4
But I have no idea what the changes are and whether they are included within this kernel source that he has linked too.
Am I just looking in the wrong place?

FTDI Kernel Installed
Just a quick update to this thread if anyone has been watching. The Crombi-KK Team put together a kernel for me with the FTDI drivers installed. I've since managed to get communication going over serial with and arduino.
I would highly recommend reaching out to Josh and the Crombi-kk team if you have a similar request. As they already have a kernel compiled and ready to go.

None of those links will exactly work. But they will give you a general idea. You will be compiling a Linux kernel for an Android system (CM7 is also Android). You will need the kernel sources for a100 and the kernel config file. You can see in those links how you can find the config file in /proc/config.gz in a100. Best of luck!

Hi Guys,
is someone interested helping me build a device tree for the sony xperia go so that we would be able to compile CM9 from source with the latest sony kernel source ?
i was able to build the ICS kernel from this 6.1.B.0.544 Kernel Source for the sony xperia go allready.....
thanks a lot for your help, recommendations, ...
cheers
We'll start working on it for AXP soon. It's going to be a difficult task, adding a new target from scratch, but after that porting to multiple devices will be easy. You can follow AXP on GitHub.

so how did you make the nexus rom for it?
The issue is that I do not own the phone, but I am looking at porting CM to MTK6589.
MIUI porting is a bit different, it would not involve kernel compiling per se I believe (CM either, but I would like to).
To give it a go, I would need info from here:
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Doc:_porting_intro
So your ROM version, partition info etc.
When I manage to port to a device I own, I can give it a go.

I have no easy way to push the image to the phone to test.
If it works, I can start to create a recovery for this phone based on sources.
I would need that info I requested.
Are you able to post the build.prop file and the partition dump?
Look at the page with instructions I posted earlier.
Meantime I look for an easy way to flash that recovery, somehow sp flashtool does not read the scatter file created by mtkdroidtools .

So, like I requested before, please :
- post your build.prop file
- post identification stuff of the device, like screen resolution, memory and recovery.fstab (or the recovery image)
- in general take a look at the link I posted before and read it, so you know what info is needed :
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Doc:_porting_intro
The reason I ask is because there are at leat 2 different versions, 1 had 960x480 screen and 1/4gb ram/rom, the other 1280x720 and 2/8.
They obviously at least have different partitions and displays and perhaps even other different hardware.
You can also post a full working ROM on dropbox or something.

You may damage your device if you do not know what you are doing.
Bricking it is not my fault!
So think before you act.
If you try: please give feedback if it works.
If does it is the same device: N9389 5.3", 960x480 (qHD) , 1 gb ram, 4 gb rom.

Hi,
Well I am partly motivated by your offer, but I enjoy Android and Linux hacking.
Let's hope those attempts will lead to something.
How about LewaOS? There are good porting guides for that.
I will try to look for MIUI or CM in the weekend.
Initial CM would miss dual sim support.
Maybe MIUI is easier, because some work has been done.
Well, I'll see.
Don't overestimate the complexity, if you have CM 6 and made it yourself, porting a rom is doable I suppose ?
cheers
Hello,
Since i didnt't find any posts relating to my question, i maked a new thread ( Pardon me if there is a similar thread )
Recently i bought a Phone made in China with already a Custom Rom/Kernel on it. (mt6589)
can someone help me out if this phone supports other kernels/roms? ( Information about the phone included )
You won't find any here. Mostly due to those OEM not releasing kernel source for their devices

ah ok thanks.
But what are the things u need to look at while searching for a kernel/rom.
like: is it possible to get Cyanogemod working on it but some features may not work? or is it just not possible

bluetooth is not yet functioning.
My main interest in this excercise was to assemble working/workable sources to get development moving
for this device.
As of getting the recovery functioning correctly, all required is assembled to help any actual owner of this
device to begin taking it foward.
I will limit my effort in this to getting the bluetooth issue resolved,
and possibly getting dtv functions working.
Thank you @Erus Tyrannus for inquiring about recovery initially and testing this build and provding feedback to date.
