# This feature is specific to Compal and Pirelli targets. When we put our own # FreeCalypso firmware on these phones, we are using them in a way that is very # different from how they were intended to be used by their respective # manufacturers. Hence the term "aftermarket". Although the original firmwares # of these phones are TI-based and feature TI-based flash file systems, neither # Pirelli's FFS nor that of any Compal variant is suitable for direct reuse by # FreeCalypso GSM fw. # # Therefore, if we are putting our own fw on one of these aftermarket devices # and we need to use a real non-volatile FFS in flash, rather than fake FFS # in RAM, we need to define our own aftermarket FFS, and we can put it in any # part of the flash that suits our needs, without much regard for Compal's or # Foxconn's originally intended flash layout - what we are doing with their # hardware goes totally against their intentions anyway. # # Because our aftermarket FFS configuration inherently involves our own choice # of flash location for this FFS, the present feature aftermarket-ffs takes two # required arguments: the starting flash sector number and the total number of # flash sectors to be used for the aftermarket FFS. It is the user's # responsibility to ensure that these numbers are sensible. check_target_feature "$1" if [ $# != 3 ] then echo "feature aftermarket-ffs: two arguments required" 1>&2 exit 1 fi FFS_IN_RAM=0 CONFIG_AFTERMARKET_FFS=1 CONFIG_AFTERMARKET_FFS_START=$2 CONFIG_AFTERMARKET_FFS_NBLOCKS=$3 CONFIG_FLASH_WRITE=1 export_to_c CONFIG_AFTERMARKET_FFS export_to_c CONFIG_AFTERMARKET_FFS_START export_to_c CONFIG_AFTERMARKET_FFS_NBLOCKS export_to_c CONFIG_FLASH_WRITE
