Debian / U-boot Bricking My C3000

« on: November 15, 2007, 04:30:27 am »

16Mb of NAND is enough for u-boot + emergency kernel and initrd + 2.6.x kernel
The problem is in NAND partition.
There are 3 default NAND partition:
First - System Area - 7Mb
Second - Root Filesystem - size is depend of model:
poodle - 22Mb
shepherd - 25Mb
husky - 53Mb
spitz - 5Mb
akita 58Mb
borzoi 32Mb
Third - Home - rest of NAND
First partition (7Mb) contains u-boot, emergency kernel, emergency initrd.
Rest of 1-st part. is 0x160000 was enough for kernel <=2.6.22.x
Kernel >=2.6.23 is bigger.
I change NAND partition sizes in drivers/mtd/nand/sharpsl.c
Then made relative changes in u-boot.
Now I can flash and use kernel 2.6.23
But kernel 2.6.23 has some bugs with timer and PM.
I have patch only solved timer bug

thanks for your explanations ! i guessed you have a C3000 too ?
so to be when you flash the kernel on the C3000 with the ON-OK procedure, do that touch the partition sizes too or do that touch one system area ? are this partition settings in the updater.sh file ?
on my c3000 i can flash the first 2.6.23 kernel of angstrom but not the 2nd version they made...
which bugs are you talking about 2.6.23 timer and PM ? are they present in angstrom 2.6.23 one ? i didn't remark anything...

I have only c750 and thinking about Nokia N810
You can change partitions size either by recompiling mtd/nand/sharpsl.c module
or adding bootarg:
mtdparts=sharpsl-nand:10240k@0k(smf),55296k@10240k(root),-(home)
(54Mb root for my shepherd)
I forget mention about once more bug in 2.6.23
It doesn't pass CONFIG_CMDLINE to kernel!
I made changes in u-boot to pass correct bootargs

Zaurus - pdaXrom / Xserver Kdrive 1.4

« on: October 17, 2007, 06:34:18 am »

Do anybody compile and test Xserver 1.4?
I compiled kdrive fbdev xserver 1.4
But there is a problem with APM.
If I apply disable-apm.patch then after suspend/resume Xserver hang.
If I don't apply this patch Zaurus can't suspend
apm -s
device busy (apm)

Thanks!!
but the file it patches (drivers/input/power.c) seems not to exist in 2.6.22

a check in the kernel 2.6.22-rc1 changelog gives

    Input: remove no longer used power.c handler
   
    Delete the never-compiled source file drivers/input/power.c, and
    remove its entry from the corresponding Makefile, as there is no
    Kconfig file that refers to the config option INPUT_POWER
   
so i patched the file in 2.6.21, put it to 2.6.22, manually patched Kconfig and Makefile to make it compile...hope this is not too stupid
however, still didn't work..

Should somebody maybe mention this on the kernel development list?
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=163905\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

I read in kernel changelog that "drivers/input/power.c" was removed.
I also can't understand how to setup power button.

IMHO, its bug of angstrom Kdrive.
Try attached Xserver.

This works well, thank you.  

I have another question. When I load 'snd-soc-spitz', it gives an error "i2c: error: exhausted retries". I cannot listen any sound. Now I am using kernel 2.6.21. Is there anyone to solve this problem or to give me sound modules?
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=163876\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

I can't help you. I haven't spitz. Sound on my 750  works.

2) mouse buttons 2 and 3
I use xmonobut to set 2 & 3 buttons:
xmonobut -m 67 -k 68 &
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=161251\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

I installed debian on internal hard disk of my C3200, but I could not get middle and right mouse click. I tried xmonobut which is in Angstrom feed and which I compiled on Zaurus. Both are useless. Does anyone have any idea?

does this work on 860 too?
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=163445\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

You only need change kernel .config for pxa255 and Zaurus 860.

cool! what patches did you apply to get cpu frequency scaling?
i just found some old patches...which didn't work
i think i need PXA27x core voltage change sequencer too, but couldn't find that

great! now everything works...rtc, suspend/resume...
did u enable the dynamic tick timer?
does it really save power?
[div align=\"right\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

Yes.
echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/timer/timer0/dyn_tick
Dynamic tick timer really save power when cpu is idle.
I did some hacked change in kernel to enable CONFIG_TIMER_STATS and install Intel powertop to monitor what program "eat" battery. [a href=\"http://www.linuxpowertop.org/]http://www.linuxpowertop.org/[/url]
With dynamic tick timer enable it 5 times less (on cpu idle)

Also I set ondemand governor cpufreq to save power.

I also did similar. Then i back to 2.6.21. With this patch suspend button works!

are there any ways to change the resume key?
i tried the Home key and it didn't work
and my power button seems to have some problem too...
