Hi (message updated May5,2015),
I have a brand new IFC6540. My plan is to replace our current iMX6-based platform with the Snapdragon 805 assuming things go well here. I managed to use fastboot to reload the board with Linux and so far things look good. I have console access through the 3-pin UART connection, HDMI connected to LCD shows Linaro bootup, and I installed "cheese" and verified that I can interface to a microsoft webcam. I was even able to ssh into the board from another machine successfully. All good (so far). I have a USB keyboard and mouse connected. Keyboard works, but I see that the mouse appears to work, but I can't see a cursor. The reason I know it is somewhat working is because if I move the mouse around I do see items on the screen go active as if the cursor was hovering over them, and then if I click on the mouse that item is activated.
So, I'm up and running (with a few issues), here are some questions:
1. The mouse issue is noted in the Jan-12 release notes from Inforce, is there any update on this?
2. Should I be using the images from Techweb, or should I go to linaro to get the latest kernel?
3. I have had no luck with audio in or out using the audio jacks. Does/should it work?
4. Are there available CSI cameras and displays that plug into the IFC6540?
5. Is this the best place to ask these kinds of questions (I sent email to
techsupport@inforcecomputing.com days ago, with still no response)?
6. Are there other forums related to this topic? It scares me that I am the only post here in 3 weeks.
Thanks in advance,
Ed
