Hi,
are you still updating the kernel package? Seems like the last update is from February - that does not include the LCD driver yet, does it?
I have also simplified the kernel upgrade mechanism for you.
If you connect the device to Ethernet and set the IP address in /etc/network/interfaces and make sure the device has access to the outside world, you can do
apt-get update apt-get install kernel-image-omap2plus
And each time you want to try a newer version, just do
apt-get update apt-get upgrade
Flashing a new SD card is only needed if something is broken and the kernel does not boot any more or the device has no Ethernet connection.
The kernel package I have published will come from (like the devmen2 package):
http://download.goldelico.com/gta04/debian/dists/stable/main/binary-armhf/
So it should be quite simple to keep all the EVMs up to date with the latest kernel developments.
Generally my publication process on the server is:
get kernel source -> (cross-)compile -> collect kernel+DT+modules for .deb -> make the .deb -> copy to repository -> update Packages.gz -> notify users
In the far future, we can move this process to pyra-handheld.com with its own package repository and build scripts.
Please try and give me a notice about problems (the latest binary should have the evtest for BTN1 working).
BR, Nikolaus
