For the GMAC, that other source (zrox) worked out of the box. (showed MAC)
I didn't need to change the code at all.
That download should be available in dlanors post.
Then, should be able to copy over the gmac code

Ok, will compare to find the strict minimum change necessary. Thanks.

Yeh.
Unfortunately I got a bit "trigger happy" with my clean out and deleted the repo for it

After some days of hard work I now have - for me - the best android image build I ever had. Benchmark for me is a perfect streaming in hd with the app vu+.

- My new build use this U-Boot 2011.09-rc1-00003-ge89ab14-dirty (Jan 03 2014 - 12:57:33) Allwinner Technology.
- The console supports commands repeat mode
- No problem with 1080 x
- No problem with the screen trimming
- No terrible Lemaker default wallpaper
- Build for sugar-lemaker and sugar-bpi are possible, last has a better performance, hd streaming with vu+ CPU lower than 18 %
- WLAN Stick 8192cu is working

The way was:
- git from 05.12.14, I think it's the same like the actual git
- git matthuismen from the 30.11.14
and mix them.

- Use in the actual git the lichee from the matthuismen
and delete in the current git the folder frameworks and insert the folder frameworks from the matthuismen git

- To make both, bpi and lemaker some adaptations in android/device and lichee/tools are necessary.
- make clean and make

Edit:
It gives the same good result to take the matthuismen git as basis and delete the folder device and insert the folder device from the actual git.
The effect is a better report from the console with command repeat.

Interesting.

Actually I made a lot of tentative to include drivers from older git repository (I finally found out that one of my test VM still had a copy on it), but I losed so many time to struggle with dependencies that I gave out for now. The driver structure between both git repo is just slighly different enough so that making a proper fix is far beyond my poor experience in that area.

So I am now trying to integrate the bsp kernel generation from Lemaker with our android generation sources, to make android to use 3.4.103 kernel. The issue I got now is I dunno what is the u-boot format provided by the SDK and how to replace it by the u-boot generated by lemaker-bsp. The u-boot used by pack is stored at this place: /android/lichee/tools/pack/chips/sun7i/bin/u-boot-sun7i.bin

Ok, gone a bit further in lemaker 3.4.103 integration. The image have kernel, modules and u-boot integrated on the image, but still can't boot, I'm stuck at u-boot level, complaining he can't read filessystems.

And I still have to refine a clean .config to avoid to include allmost every modules possible, and to refine the build_kernel script. For now I just used wiki instructions. A last issue I found, is that in the same way as the 4.4 beta 1 image, the battery level is considered too low at first boot, it's necessary to do a reset using the button, then the boot continue.

The modification are shown on a specific branch here: https://github.com/ChrisP-Androi ... /lemaker-bsp-kernel

At least initial battery status seems to be fixed now. But still can't boot

The work of my last days was to make, when using a hdmi2dvi cable, AUDIO_CODEC (audio jack) as default. So I changed .../device/softwinner/common/hardware/audio/audio_hw.c.

Now sound goes to the audio jack as default. The name in the settings "Audio output mode" is AUDIO_HDMI. The name of the ordinary HDMI sound is AUDIO_HDMI2, but now it's not default!

Well, the answer was just in front of me and I didn't see it: the env used for uboot is not the one I was expecting to boot android. I have to find where is this env define to try to adapt the one in pack config.
