1 # This feature is specific to Compal and Pirelli targets. When we put our own
2 # FreeCalypso firmware on these phones, we are using them in a way that is very
3 # different from how they were intended to be used by their respective
4 # manufacturers. Hence the term "aftermarket". Although the original firmwares
5 # of these phones are TI-based and feature TI-based flash file systems, neither
6 # Pirelli's FFS nor that of any Compal variant is suitable for direct reuse by
7 # FreeCalypso GSM fw.
8 #
9 # Therefore, if we are putting our own fw on one of these aftermarket devices
10 # and we need to use a real non-volatile FFS in flash, rather than fake FFS
11 # in RAM, we need to define our own aftermarket FFS, and we can put it in any
12 # part of the flash that suits our needs, without much regard for Compal's or
13 # Foxconn's originally intended flash layout - what we are doing with their
14 # hardware goes totally against their intentions anyway.
15 #
16 # Because our aftermarket FFS configuration inherently involves our own choice
17 # of flash location for this FFS, the present feature aftermarket-ffs takes two
18 # required arguments: the starting flash sector number and the total number of
19 # flash sectors to be used for the aftermarket FFS. It is the user's
20 # responsibility to ensure that these numbers are sensible.
