Hi Craig,
Could you please provide a bit more detailed description of the change you've sent: what was wrong and what this change is intended to fix, so I'll push it to gerrit.
Thanks!
With best regards, Vadim Yanitskiy.
Sure Vadim,
It seems the existing Makefile.mtk isn't compatible with the current makefile scheme so nothing would happen when it was called.
I modified it to match better the other Makefile structure and now I can compile a loader_mtk.mtkram.bin file.
Sadly the resulting binary doesn't yet work on the sciphone dream g2 hardware that I have. There are some compiler warnings that may need fixing or maybe the code needs more fundamental change after rotting a bit.
My goal is to get back to the "last good state" for the schiphone dream g2 and then use that as a starting point for work with mtk6260 aka fernvale board and related devices.
Thanks! Craig
Some good news, I played around with the device and the loader and found that things work "as they did" if I follow the instructions more carefully... press and hold the button UNTIL LOADING IS FINISHED! ;) It says it there but I didn't quite understand I had to hold it down the whole time.
Anyhow... it works and gets to "Running on mt62xx in environment mtkram and HW_CODE = 0x6235" So I am back at square one with this small Makefile.mtk change and will proceed with experiments on bringing up sciphone and/or fernvale and friends.
Thanks Craig

My congratulations! Could you please write a brief (or more detailed, if you wish) description of the work you're doing, so I could create a dedicated wiki page? Or is one already there?

This wiki page would probably be good. It needs updating for sure since some of the git links for u-boot, linux kernel, initramfs image are dead. It seems they referred to git.osmocom.org projects which no longer exist. Not sure if those could be restored or not.
I would be happy to make very small changes to that page. When I get something working on fernvale and others we could probably create a wiki page for mt6260 mt6261 fernvale and whatever others make sense.
