Hi guys! Wow, what a great team you make...exciting just reading what your focus is. I'm truly a NOOB to linux, but you all have me learning at light speed...I've learned so much just trying to catch up with you...and its been both entertaining and fun.
@Stefan: congrats again on the gold membership and thanks for starting this thread. I'm interested in helping on the USB host front...I can solder the wires but would need help with the driver issue...so I may not be that useful but I'm willing. I will also compare SDCard vs CF card, pros and cons, and partition sizes and types...effect on speed, etc. Did the RasPi Zero W work out at all...being single core? Wifi with wep surprised me by being nearly as fast as ethernet with the RasPi 4.0
(quad core
) with bluetooth for sound. I still have to learn / master wpa_supplicant to get WPA working...working on it.
@Timo: that qemu emulator is fantastic...you cooked up a good recipe! You have some great skills and good ideas...on suspend with secure memory allocation, etc. Could that approach help with the white screen on shutdown issue? Key maps are great...still working through on that...installed kbd without the maps and booting stalled...font changed etc. I will review and re attempt...keymap first, kbd install second?
@Munchausen: the ext4 vs ext2 suggestion is a great idea...seems faster to me with the ext2...perhaps I will do a time comparison with equivalent sdcards
( what I am using...not cf cards
). How important is jornaling? I think the sdcards might prove better for trying out kernel 4.xxx -- just my hunch/ 2 cents worth...root delay set =0 boots fine on ext4, ext2. for example.
I am not capable of being much help on the nitty gritty linux kernel creation...but let me know if I can do more than be a cheerleader.
Also,I have been on extended holiday vacation...soon to end...so I won't be quite so available to help or annoy or whatever.
Hey, and thanks again for all your great ideas and efforts!
Joval
