X5: Any news about remote support? (RaeNye maybe?)
moos:
Hi guys, like everyone, I'm wondering if there is something new about remote support for our iaudios.
I know RaeNye(hi) began the port but don't know if there is any update, because the patch on the tracker was just initial support.
We can wondering also about radio support while we are :) .
Regard, moos

The patch in the tracker was not even "initial support". It was a blind attempt that failed.
moos:
Hi Bagder, thanks, that was I thought, but maybe the author of the patch (RaeNye) have tried something other, lets hope so ;)
RaeNye:
The patch was indeed a sketch, but it contained most of the needed low-level stuff (e.g., which GPIO pins are needed) that was discovered while RE'ing the preloader.
Basically to create a valid patch you need to mix 2bpp code from H120 with the serial protocol of the H{1,3}x0 remote. Relevant GPIO pins are described both in my patch and in the X5 GPIO wiki table.
The reason I didn't revise it is that I think current LCD code is highly superfluous -- lots of code should be C&P'ed to add a new screen type (e.g., all the drawing primitives) when in fact the only change is how to blit the framebuffer onto the LCD.
I know that the official response would be "so go on and do it!", but as I don't own a remote, I'm more motivated to get my other X5 patches comitted first.
RaeNye:
Just because I hated to see Bagder deleting my previous rather lame attempt.

Moos, are you up to the challenge of testing it?
