configs/* except classic: rebuild tif_na7_db_{fl,ir} from source
The purpose of this change is to allow a TRACEMASK_IN_FFS=1 setting given
on the configure line to have effect; all configs except classic are
included because this feature setting is orthogonal to the choice of
G23M PS version and other config choices. (The classic config is an
exception because its very purpose is to preserve a reference config
with all of the original blobs.)
Note that even though we are switching these TIF libraries from blobs
to recompilation from source in all configs, our source for these libs
compiles into a perfect match to the original blobs in the current default
TRACEMASK_IN_FFS=0 configuration, hence there is no effective change
beyond the unfortunate small increase in compilation times.

The latest official firmware for Openmoko Neo1973 and Neo FreeRunner Calypso modems is moko13 as of this writing; moko13 is FreeCalypso Magnetite Hg changeset 286:840113655bbf built for the gtamodem target in the l1reconst configuration. There have been many changes in FC Magnetite since then, but few of them affect the l1reconst config on the gtamodem target in any noticeable way. The few noticeable post-moko13 changes which we do have in our current l1reconst code are not deemed important enough to justify making another formal release for a no-longer-made hardware platform that no longer has any real user community either. However, we also have the new TCS2/TCS3 hybrid config in which the old version of the G23M protocol stack from Openmoko (binary libs only, no source) has been replaced with a newer version from TI's TCS3/LoCosto program, and this new version is full source. This hybrid firmware has now reached the state where it is ready to be exercised by adventurous beta users in real-life usage. The new hybrid fw for the gtamodem target can be built as follows: ./configure.sh gtamodem hybrid cd build-gtamodem-hybrid; make Then after enduring the very slow build, you can flash it with fc-loadtool: loadtool> flash erase 0 0x250000 loadtool> flash program-bin 0 fwimage.bin If you are brave enough to do the above, please let us know how this new modem firmware fares when driven by QtMoko or SHR on the AP - it would definitely be an adventure! We would be most interested in working with developers or maintainers of specific AP software components that are directly responsible for talking AT commands to the modem, if there are any such developers or maintainers still around.
