Maybe you could ask Dexter_nlb, sc2k and vache for some help with this i believe they are quite talented in the dev community, you could also try to put out test kernels that the community could test and provide feedback.

Here is the A500 Service Guide for Acer support.

It have all hardware details and some diagrams. Maybe it can help.

http://a500.teamtep.gaming.cx/SG_ICONIA Tab A500_20110421.pdf

P.S : i'm ready to test/build kernel. Let me know when you need help.
[Acer Iconia A500] sp3dev:
Thanks for the manual. It contains some info about the chips used but unfortunately does not give exact data like timings or gpios but I have extracted almost all needed data from the binary.

As all ventana boards share the same mtype, my idea is to make a compile-time option to select the board and the files for the board (transformer/iconia/atrix etc) should be in a subdirectory or just named differently. So I'm gonna do some cleanup to asus sources and build a couple kernels for you tomorrow.

Depending on whether asus transformer will be available here I will or will not join the iconian party myself later...
[Acer Iconia A500] Achristocat:
I'm very interested in the docking port...

..and possibly bringing a cable / alt. dock to market for this guy. Anyone have the pinout and specs for this? Or where I might start to look?

Thanks in advance...!
[Acer Iconia A500] sp3dev:
Here is a test zImage - http://www.mediafire.com/?g7a1nh23qs52302

all the changes are in git (https://github.com/astarasikov/iconia_kernel)

ok, here is a short summary.

1. Basically, transformer kernel is ****ed up many ways. Those monkeys either have no sense how to code or are professional trolls. Can you imagine board-specific callbacks for transformer to be hooked everywhere, even in gpio-keys, sdio core? A battery callback in framebuffer? If we make any custom image boot on iconia, we must start over with a clean tree like android or chromium

2. I have made some switch in config to allow to select transformer or iconia at compile time.. Basically, now we have to copy transformer files and make modifications to them and clean up crap.

3. I have found the sdram config tables but didn't take time to disassemble original zImage and find the detection routine. So if this particular image doesn't boot, someone will have to try with different memtype values in ventana_emc_init() in board-ventana-memory-a500.c

4. Some hardware like one of cameras is not supported by this kernel tree. For now the priority is to get it to boot and make display work and then we'll need another tree anyway.

So, all in all, I suggest that someone who owns the device tries to find out the memory detection thingie and starts with a clean tree. I can help with the disassembly part. I'm personally shocked by the code quality of asus and this is imho enough good reason to keep away from this stuff..

And btw, have fun
[Acer Iconia A500] _motley:
Nice work. Is this overclocked like I see in the iconia source tree?

I am new to Linux kernel compilation and am learning as I go. I have taken the latest version of the kernel source from the ASUS web site and have had to make many of the same fixes you mention. I am cross compiling against the arm-eabi- and have gotten it to build as well. I must be doing something right because my zImage is ~2.8Mb just like yours! The .config file I am using came from an iconia source that someone posted, so I feel pretty good about the kernel configuration options I have selected. I have also compiled some kernel modules and they are working good on my 3.01 Iconia, so that made me feel good as well:)

I would love to see someone give it a try. I would give it a whirl, but I haven't dug into the itsmagic and the 3.1 ROM dexter posted yet. Hopefully someone comfortable with these new methods will give it a try and report back. I am also be willing to post my zImage (not overclocked) if someone wants to give it a try.
[Acer Iconia A500] sp3dev:
I want someone like vache to try it out. But now that the kernel source release date is confirmed it makes no sense to continue here as we'd have to rewrite a lot of stuff like camera driver and memory detection..
[Acer Iconia A500] Dexter_nlb:
so we got a kernel to compile and it works?

i would assume that the tiomat changes can be brought into this source git tree?
[Acer Iconia A500] sp3dev:
We can compile. No one has tried to see if it works and you're welcome to. But now that the official release date is 22nd, it makes sense to wait
[Acer Iconia A500] Dexter_nlb:
sure.. ill wait for the official then..
[Acer Iconia A500] M..N:
Where did you hear that it'll be released on 22nd?

Today I got frustrated with Acer still not releasing kernel source and flashed the zImage I have posted earlier. To my surprise, it booted up. The screen colors are weird and usb/touchscreen are not quite working, but at least it starts up and boots to android. So even if Acer mofos ignore us, we can get it working within some time I suppose
[Acer Iconia A500] mdeejay:
booting with TF101 kernel too

same issues (colors, always vibration, ts didnt work)
[Acer Iconia A500] sp3dev:
Surprisingly enough, all that was needed to make touchscreen work was changing i2c address. So far I have tested - usb, touchscreen and sound work with the latest kernel from my git. Volume and power keys also work. My further plans therefore include fixing RAM chip detection, screen colors, sensors and camera and moving to a clean tree (android official for tegra and chromium one for ubuntu) and porting touchscreen driver. As I have mentioned above, Asus have ****ed up everything and put their crap into every linux driver so we need to start over.

Update: panel colors are now fixed. Really, I'm sick of asus hacks and will start over. Guess it won't take long to port everything

Take a look at the screenshot in the meanwhile and note the kernel version

Nope, it is not the data cable. I have the same exact problem. So I restored back to Stock to see if it was the cable, and the cable works fine booted into stock. Obviously, its a CM7 thing.

[LG Optimus 2x] JugglerLKR:
Will we have tegra2 hdmi 1080p mkv h.264 bd-rip hardware decoding?
[LG Optimus 2x] wapz:
our o2x doesn't support NEON and therefore isn't great at decoding video. it is as important as MMX was in the Pentium 1 days, it seems!
[LG Optimus 2x] JugglerLKR:
I thought NEON abandoned coz nvidia states h.264 support in h/w, while neon instruction set helps to decode video in s/w. Gurus will correct me.
[LG Optimus 2x] wapz:
maybe. but so far nobody has been able to smootly play full 720p mkvs properly, which seems to work on the tablets with tegra2 that do support NEON. so why is that different?

flash 10.3 also uses neon since the last update. see changes for new version.
[LG Optimus 2x] JugglerLKR:
probably new Tegra (Kal-El) series with NEON instruction sets from ARM and 1080p H.264 High Profile video decode

but according to this link : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nvidia_Tegra

all current tablets uses the same chip without NEON... again correct me if I'm wrong.
[LG Optimus 2x] kruppin:
You're correct, there is not one tegra 2 chip with NEON. But the tablet or whatnot that can play 720p mkv probably have a player that supports MKV decode on hardware (gpu). The O2X can't handle mkv with the in-built player, and thats the only one with HW-acceleration, as of yet. Hopefully there will soon be one, or if we can port from the SGS2 with tegra (i9103).
[LG Optimus 2x] dusitmon123:

[LG Optimus 2x] smokeweedevery:
you can't play 1080p in hiprofile, only 720p
[LG Optimus 2x] -sandro-:
for me not even 720p HP worked
[LG Optimus 2x] smokeweedevery:
if you use handbrake to encode videos, choose the MP4 container format and H.264 (x264) as video codec, and in the advanced tab in the text field, enter this line:

ref=2:bframes=0:subq=7:mixed-refs=0:weightb=0:8x8dct=0:cabac=0:weightp=0:me=umh :trellis=0:cqm=flat

just convert you movies like this also work with 1080p^
[LG Optimus 2x] -sandro-:
that's the problem I have to reconvert 720p files already with high profile but different encoding settings = fake hd decoding of this chip
[LG Optimus 2x] degast:
My stock V10D plays 720/1080p h264 mkv just fine!

I do have to convert some video to a lower profile in order to play them but right now I can play

H.264 mkv in profile 4.0@High, 1920x1080 at 27fps fine no problem!

Average filesize for such a movie is 4-6 GB, 720p @30fps runs fine as well.
[LG Optimus 2x] -sandro-:
I mean they released this "amazing chipset with dual core capabilities bla bla" and they can't even handle common 720p files but the sgx540 released 1y earlier can
[LG Optimus 2x] scalexda:
I totally agree with you. Tegra2 is really bad with h.264 high profile videos.
