[rajatgupta1998]

Hi guys, now since we are finally seeing the Oreo 8.1 update (soak) being rolled out to the users, kindly release the linux kernel source as per the GPL. Nice to see Moto G4 Plus get Oreo.

Device: Moto G4 Plus athene
Build Number: OPJ28.111-12 (edit: build number OPJS28.111-22 now available as a public release)

Is it also possible that you can release the camera hal source?

[awheeler-mmi]

@bengris32, we are working to get the GPL-licensed code released as soon as we can. The camera HAL, however, is proprietary code (for Lenovo as well as some of our partners), so we won't be releasing it. Some of our camera code isn't even open to the majority of the our development staff, it's considered that IP-critical.

Thanks for your understanding.

Thanks for responding to this, I've asked it on forums once but never got an answer. We can understand you can't release the camera code, but could you release the needed things to make it work with CAF one? Mainly "cam_intf.h" with their structs and everything.

I though almost everything was CAF-based?

[awheeler-mmi]

Hey @Lyudmila17, our camera HAL is based on CAF, but we modify the interface quite a bit to get some proprietary features added. Just looking at cam_intf.h, I see ~58 commits on top of CAF, with about 20% additional content. Right now this code is very-much proprietary, but I will talk to our camera lead about open-sourcing the interface/structs on new products.

Hi @charleseb @awheeler-mmi . Any update on this? Also we're seeing the OPJ28.111-22 build rolling out to a few people. We're really eager to get the latest kernel source (and dtv, wlan drivers) for Oreo. Please make it possible ASAP. :smile:

[amarendra1507]

Hi, I have install an OTA which has build OPJ28.108. I want to install OPJ28.111-22, is there any way to do so ? thanks in advance.

@charleseb what about the commit history?

Hi @Lyudmila17,

@charleseb could you also update the prebuilt dtbtool binary, the one in readme repository from Nougat build version doesn't seem to work, kernel isn't booting with it.

[charleseb]

Hi @loonycrd,
Done.
