You say "crippeling" i say fixes for bugs users were seeing a few
months back... So i guess we disagree..
Sorry Robert, if my choice of words may have sound bad, negative or
like a critism. Nothing of that was meant. I am no native english
so sometimes words go wrong.
What kind of bugs were seen? On what I have to keep my eyes on? Is it
"dangerous" in any respect to remove the patch from being applied?
Honestly the bug was occurring back in May, and there's been a lot of
changes since then.. It only manifested itself on bootup, so if you
disable the patch and your board makes it to the login prompt then
it's perfectly fine..
It seems Robert did disable the OPP_TURBO patch on his latest git so now it should boot on 720 by default on 5V external.
3.2.31-psp24 is what I compiled today and noted the change. I’m trying to squash a bug that is puzzling me. I need to make a “ifconfig eth0 down” on /etc/network/if-pre-up in order to CPSW to work with the latest wheezy ARMHF (basically Robert’s Wheezy image plus apt-get upgrade)
It is solved somewhere since changing to Angstrom image does work and I’ve tried ifplugd and connman on Debian Wheezy. Weird
so now it should boot on 720 by default on 5V external.
