Re: Why sound isn't working on the TP2.
 

Indeed, the DSP chips have their own firmware in much the same way wifi chips do.
I suspect that you could load an alternative firmware on to the DSP that would get it to respond the way we want it to, but that's a whole other skill set that few people have, and nearly impossible without either spec sheets from Qualcomm (Which are not publicly available) or extensive reverse-engineering of the chip. Additionally, DSP's have their own language and it's a pretty specialized skill to know how to "speak" it.

An Ndiswrapper style API implementation that would allow us to load the WinCE driver into Linux is possible as well, but I feel that, without other phones that could benefit from this, it would be simpler to decompile the driver with the purpose of gleaning Rhod specific info.

Re: Why sound isn't working on the TP2.
 

this question has probably a very simple answer but is there anyway to log absolutely every single process that WinMo does when it activates sound? this way we can see exactly what the process is and reverse it that way. Or is there some type of trace that is changed on the board?

Re: Why sound isn't working on the TP2.
 

wasn't there some kind of trick to get phone working, like making a call during load?
maybe we need a different process to que up the mic and spkr so the proc isn't stuck on phone mode. (maybe why there's startup noise's during boot animation)

i am not a programmer but i ran across this recent article on the qualcomm blog perhaps it will help expedite this process :)

Nice find I just sent you some thanks!!!!:headbang:

Re: Why sound isn't working on the TP2.
 

the file is actually called wavedev.dll, to get yourself a copy google "topaz oemdrivers".
thank you phh!

Re: Why sound isn't working on the TP2.
 

is anyone working on the android/dev project chinese? and speaks/reads/writes chinese fluently? I would imagine given that HTC is a taiwanese company. There is much more information on qualcomm's chipsets and this phone in particular on chinese forums.

additionally we could deposit all our "reward" funds into a account and outsource reverse-engineering the driver to a chinese programmer using this "craigslist/ebay"-like online outsourcing service that lets developers bid on doing your "project"

i'm trying to find the name of the site right now. but it had something where you could check the history of the developer bidding to make sure they've done good work in the past for other outsourcers.

my company has outsourced some things on there before with good results.

Wow this is pretty exciting to see more and more people start to get into this issue.
