At the moment I am playing around with a cute nice little imx6q board – the sabre lite. I am running a freescale based RFS with the binary libGAL.so blob in the user space. So why not look into etna_viv and get it compiled. It turns out to be as simple as this. git clone git://github.com/laanwj/etna_viv.git cd etna_viv/native export GCABI=imx6 export CFLAGS="-D_POSIX_C_SOURCE=200809 -D_GNU_SOURCE -DLINUX -pthread" export CXXFLAGS="-D_POSIX_C_SOURCE=200809 -D_GNU_SOURCE -DLINUX -pthread" make ...

Some naive guys – like me – think that SMBus and I²C are equal expect the bus level. But in the last days I run into a problem where an at24 based EEPROM connected via SMBus triggers a bus collision after a warm reboot. After some hours of debugging – even staring minutes at a oscilloscope showing SDD and SDC lines – I started to add some dump_stack() calls into i2c_core.c file form a recent linux kernel. And I found the bad bus transaction – i2c_probe_func_quick_read(..). ...
