Is the tf700 Kernel/BIOS open source? - Asus Transformer TF700

I remember seeing some modified stock BIOS around here some time ago. I wouldn't mind viewing the source if anyone could link me that'd be nice.
thanks in advance

The kernel is open source and the source can be downloaded on the Asus support page. There is no BIOS on this platform.

Source code ICS released

Caution: This is just the raw source code! Please do no flash it using ODIN, CWM or any other method! This is solely for development purposes! You may not use it on your device unless a developer provides a compiled version ready to be flashed!
Hi I've just viewd that samsung has released the source code for i9103 at:
http://opensource.samsung.com/
with the name: GT-I9103_ICS_Opensource_Update2.zip
Very Good news, maybe we can expect some CM9-CM10 love

is it flashable?
Is it possible to flash this to my device? via cwm or odin?
Can it possibly do any harm?

Noooooooo! Don't even try! This is just the source code not the compiled executable code! That you will get with the official OTA release!

You can't flash it, it's the source code, you have to wait that any developer compiles IT.

He did, as did google. The 2nd gen nexus 7 is shipping with 4.3 and several high end devices are getting 4.3 updates too. Kinda logical that the shield would get it eventually.
One review I read said the target was 4-6 weeks after the google update. Is that still the goal or could it be faster?

You can run the extract blob script. It contains a license which I haven't bothered to read. I'm hoping to have a github up this weekend with all the required blobs.

compiling kernel on device (not-cross-compiling)

I have Ubuntu installed on my TF701, and I'd like to attempt to compile android kernels on the device itself. I would think/hope that this would eliminate the need for a cross-compiling setup.
I'm also interested in compiling general linux kernels for use with ubuntu/debian on the device.
Has anyone done this before? Any pitfalls? Any suggested reading?
This should be possible, but it will be much slower than on a PC. Do you really want to wait hours for a compiled kernel?
If you are able to install the Android SDK on a PC, you are about one command line away from cross-compiling a kernel.

No - the general consensus seems to be that optimizing the kernel for speed is worse than optimizing for size, so I didn't try.

Since you are talking about size, have you looked into the bionic patch? It is supposed to reduce the kernel's binary size quite a bit by removing and optimizing c headers in the source code...

I don't know much about it and it is the reason that I am asking, haha... All I know is that it will find the unused c headers and compiling the source and create a smaller binary. For some reason, it also speed up your device. Nexus forum is discussing a lot between devs. It is just over my head atm and trying to understand it as much as I can... I may not understand it correctly and thanks for your time with a noob's question like this, haha...:laugh:

I would love to but I ran across this topic when I built my toolchain for tegra 3 t33 about 3 wks ago... I brought it up now since we are talking about size of the binary. If I remember correctly, the bionic patch is searching for working c headers and makes a new list before you compiles your source code... So that you are only compiling the usable source and remove the unused one.. The tool is find_your_cheaders.py. I have not used it and want to know if any dev on this forum using it with some experiences with this patch.. I will finish what I am doing and do more research on this topic and will bring you in with links and more information.. Thanks again for your opinions...

my internet was slow so i could not verify if this would work on our device (yet!)
ps. could not post url links yet srry
@ezrexl you are really funny, it's device source not a rom.
There's nothing changed for oreo on the source, we automatically created 8.0 branches for all our repos independent of Oreo support for the devices.

It can't compile, it has nothing changed to work on O and you will need a lot to change (and don't forget a massive kernel update you'll also need).
Have fun working on it, I am not and I won't in future

I don't work on trees anymore. I got frustrated to try to change my GitHub LineageOS 15 for SM-T230NU degaswifi. From it saying HTML to Makefile. So I gave up.
I still love marshmallow rom it's enough for our tab 2 (stable rom ever)
anybody??
No oreo?

nice, it will be the best to upload 7.1.1 and eventually 7.0 kernel source too.
I'd love to do it but i never uploaded on github.
So I just need to upload, no modifing or changing settings?

I could push them later but don't really see much point as most people will want to go forward rather than backwards 8.0 > 8.1 > 9.0 etc etc
Even with the Kernel source It will still require a lot of work to get a fully working device and will likely require some assistance from one of the more experienced MediaTek Dev's who are used to working with source code
I agree, but some people don't like Oreo and want to use Nougat. We can make another thread asking people for help.

Compiler Errors
Did anyone manage to successfully manage to compile the kernel using the Oreo Kernel source??

I think the Oreo Kernel source is broken/missing bits which is kind of annoying when you spend hours fixing one thing then something else further down the build fails to compile and it quits. :crying:
It could be me just not knowing what I am doing :silly: as I am new to actually compiling kernels so still lots to learn for me but I would like to know if ANYONE has had a successful build or not especially someone who is experienced.?? :fingers-crossed:

How did you compile it? which toolchain and config files you used? I always get compile time errors, tried different toolchains and config files.
