Netweaver_https://build.pub.meego.com/package/show?package=kernel-adaptation-n900&project=CE%3AAdaptation%3AN90000:01
*** Khaled has quit IRC00:01
*** otep has joined #mer00:01
ali1234also you can use qemu-n90000:02
ali1234to watch what it is writing to memory00:02
ali1234both u-boot and the kernel00:02
ali1234although the hardware emulation isn't very faithful to the real thing00:02
ali1234ugh. don't you have a git repo somewhere?00:03
ali1234i can't work with OBS00:03
Netweaver_There should be a mirror git repo somewhere. But I didn't use/needed it yet. OBS made my trials/kernel building very easy ...00:05
ali1234how?00:06
ali1234how can you even say that?00:06
*** trbs has quit IRC00:07
ali1234every time you make a change you have to generate a patch, add it to the spec, rerun a bunch of magic scripts that do god knows what, and then wait an hour for rpmbuild to make a chroot and then recompile the whole kernel from scratch00:08
netweaver:) blissfull ignorance on my side I guess ... I managed to include my patches and build complete kernel in no time. Rebuilding was v fast00:08
netweavermy requirements were simple...00:09
*** jstaniek has quit IRC00:09
netweaverno manual scripts were needed, rebuilding starts the moment you add/modify a file. And a few minutes later one has the RPM available.00:10
ali1234you have to run makespec.pl or else it explodes00:11
ali1234how did you even generate a patch?00:12
ali1234you have to untar the vanilla source, apply all the patches, generate a patch with your change... blah blah blah00:12
netweavernot for me/anymore... it was building it just fine. I generated the patches locally, after downloading the code from OBS ...00:12
ali1234so innefficient00:12
ali1234somewhere there should be a git repo with all those patches already applied00:13
netweaverthat's true, that the least efficient bit. But I had time, when waiting for my OBS access00:13
ali1234and that i can build with a normal cross compiler00:13
*** beyondcreed has joined #mer00:13
ali1234i can't do anything without that00:13
netweaverhaven't come across it. I did try the local compilation as well but I was getting nowhere. Funny compile errors ... I used again the tarball, also had all the patches automatically downloaded and then then the quilt. It applied all of them00:15
ali1234you probably didn't manage to apply the kernel config properly00:15
ali1234the rpm makes it so hard to figure out what the used config is00:15
netweaverI took the config as delivered with the Nemo image. They deliver the config file as well00:16
*** smoku has quit IRC00:16
ali1234where is it?00:16
netweaverin the FAT boot partition00:17
ali1234so it is00:18
ali1234so i don't understand the problem00:22
ali1234is it just some cards, or all cards?00:23
ali1234under what circumstances does it work correctly?00:23
*** stepiro has quit IRC00:24
netweaverit works for the stock kernel and all derived kernels (Power, bfs, pwck), loaded from eMMC.00:25
*** stepiro has joined #mer00:25
netweaverBut Nemo kernel loaded from eMMC or MMC fails00:26
ali1234so how does u-boot come in to this?00:26
netweaverur uboot-PR13 works fine in the same setup. Pali's uboot, doesn't00:26
ali1234what is "the same setup"00:27
ali1234so it only fails when using nemo kernel and the new u-boot?00:27
netweaversame card, same partitions, same kernel version00:27
ali1234everything else works fine?00:27
netweaverindeed00:27
ali1234then you need to bisect the changes between stock and nemo00:27
netweaverlooks like it. Other people are trying to get the Nitdroid kernel to run but there is more to it than just the kernel load for that00:28
ali1234they still haven't fixed that?00:29
ali1234this is the same old problem00:29
netweaverno, it's still doing this hybrid Fremantle binary blob/ANdroid root fs copy thing00:29
ali1234there's no development history, just a crusty RPM00:29
ali1234so you can't run a bisection00:30
ali1234and you'll never be able to fix this bug unless you get lucky00:30
netweaver:(00:30
netweaverand fix it on the uboot side, as you suggested ? Save the mmc registers before doing any mmc init and just after reading the uboot file and handing starting that file, restoring all registers ?00:31
netweaveror plainly resetting the mmc part ?00:32
ali1234that might not even work00:32
ali1234who knows.00:32
ali1234there is no sensible way to compare the source code of the two kernels00:33
ali1234you might be able to fix it in u-boot, but the two revisions are so far apart, the omap support was mostly rewritten00:33
ali1234this is the same problem that plagues all arm hardware adaptation00:34
ali1234nobody ever upstreams anything00:34
netweaverI know Pali had issues with his version as well, getting the -110 read errors even on the eMMC, for the stock (and derived) kernels. BUt he managed to fix that.00:34
ali1234and when a new kernel comes out you have to start over from scratch00:35
netweaverHe upstreamed his RX-51 support to the uboot team. But obviously something is still missing00:35
ali1234well all you can do is start reading the code and trying to figure out what is different00:37
netweaverlots of stuff :D00:38
ali1234it could easily be caused by some obscure clock setting not even part of the mmc driver00:38
*** Arch__ has quit IRC00:38
ali1234you can try reverting patches00:39
ali1234of course then later patches won't apply00:39
ali1234so then you have to start editing those00:39
netweaverthat's why I was hoping that you, as an experienced person, could have a better idea where to look first. I saw the power setting on the mmc subsystem coming from the TWL4030 was different, as far as I can see it.00:40
ali1234i don't know what that means00:40
ali1234there are only two things you can trust00:40
*** Arch__ has joined #mer00:40
ali1234actual values read out from the hardware00:41
ali1234and git history00:41
ali1234you are wasting your time trying to compare small snippets of code when all of the rest of the kernel can be completely different00:41
*** himamura has joined #mer00:42
*** lynxis has joined #mer00:42
netweaverok ... looks like the uboot way has more chance of success then ...00:42
ali1234i have seen timeouts caused by excessively slow debugging printks00:42
ali1234it can be caused by anything in any part of the kernel pretty much00:43
ali1234i know for a fact that the history on u-boot between the two version is huge00:43
ali1234because i had to bisect it to make the new version work00:43
ali1234and it hardly works at all in the intermediate revisions00:44
netweavermy courage is getting below the freezing point now :)00:45
ali1234your best bet is to read the datasheet and learn how to reset mmc properly00:45
ali1234and then implement that00:45
ali1234forget about any old versions, they are probably just as buggy as the current one00:46
netweaverok. any reference for the subsystem I can look for on the TI site ?00:47
ali1234http://www.ti.com/pdfs/wtbu/OMAP34xx_ES3.1.x_PUBLIC_TRM_vZT.zip00:47
ali1234enjoy :)00:48
ali1234see chapter 2200:48
netweaverthanks. I'll start digging ...00:48
*** Khaled has joined #mer00:50
*** ZiQiangHuan has joined #mer00:51
netweaver22.3.1.2 I guess00:51
netweaverhard and soft reset00:51
*** himamura has quit IRC00:52
ali1234well in short i have no idea how to fix this00:53
ali1234i don't work like that00:53
ali1234i look at the code and find bugs and then fix them until it works00:54
ali1234if i can't look at the code, and the history, and compare them, i can't do anything00:54
netweaverI see your point :) Thanks for the thinking along anyhow !00:56
*** himamura has joined #mer00:58
ali1234wait01:00
ali1234are you sure you rebuilt the kernel properly with those patches?01:01
netweaveron OBS yes ...01:02
ali1234where is your project?01:03
netweaveragain, as far as I know. Every patch I applied I had a different behavour on the N900 during kernel boot. SO my patches were surely taking into account. I tried each separately and together ...01:04
ali1234so where is your project? i want to see your spec file01:04
netweaverhttps://build.pub.meego.com/project/show?project=home%3ANetweaver%3Abranches%3ACE%3AAdaptation%3AN90001:05
netweaverit's only one of the 3 trials you can see now of course01:06
*** himamura has quit IRC01:06
*** lynxis has quit IRC01:06
*** Khaled has quit IRC01:06
ali1234i can see the revisions01:07
ali1234well as for the patches you tried01:08
ali1234linux-2.6.37-OMAP-mmc_restore-power-mode.patch does nothing01:09
*** mlfoster has quit IRC01:09
ali1234and the DTO patch is almost certainly unrelated01:10
netweaver???01:10
ali1234the only change in the first patch is to check the regulator is turned on before turning it off01:10
*** M4rtinK has quit IRC01:11
ali1234also it sets something to -101:11
ali1234which isn't a vlid value anyway01:12
netweaverI took that idea from the arm-ubuntu team, not clever enough (yet) myself to come up with that ... I gave the link in the patch header text01:12
netweaverboth patches were for identical error messages as we had, so it was worth a try.01:13
netweavererror -110 is time-out. BUt of course one can have a time out due to LOTS of reasons :)01:14
ali1234hmmm...01:16
netweaverif the whole chip/subsystem is sleeping (or half asleep), then one can ask for responses forever ...01:16
ali1234host->power_mode =01:16
ali1234well, it isn;t powered off when you boot from u-boot01:16
ali1234so this might be slightly related01:17
ali1234what does -1 actually mean in this context?01:17
netweaverit might be also be in this smart-idle mode ...01:17
ali1234here's an idea01:17
netweaverdepending on the init done in u-boot01:17
ali1234the code expectes it to be turned off01:17
ali1234so turn it off01:18
ali1234in omap_hsmmc_probe01:18
ali1234have you ever tried to boot a mainline kernel?01:20
ali1234like 3.4 or something?01:20
*** stepiro has quit IRC01:20
netweaverno, never did ... I only got this deep last week :)01:21
*** stepiro has joined #mer01:21
ali1234i will try it tomorrow01:21
netweaveryou're in CET timezone as well ?01:21
ali1234no01:22
ali1234UK01:22
ali1234GMT01:22
netweaverok.01:22
*** himamura has joined #mer01:22
netweaverI'll see what I can do on the powering off ... I did change laptop HD in the mean time, so I need to some setup time again to create the patch :)01:24
ali1234lolz01:24
ali1234just set up a local build01:24
ali1234it's so much easier01:24
netweaverif I get the bloody thing to compile, surely. I tried 2 toolchains, both didn't swallow it. Of course it probably was my mistake somewhere. I'm not exactly a seasoned kernel hacker, that's probably why I liked the OBS building01:27
ali1234i will try to figure out the history of this code01:29
ali1234it will probably take a couple of days to do that though01:30
ali1234since i'll have to figure out what order the patches go in01:30
ali1234i bet at least one of them is a monster as well01:30
*** sonach has joined #mer01:30
netweavernp. I'm sure a lot of N900 owners would be very greatful !01:30
ali1234if they're that desperate they could just use the old u-boot?01:31
netweaverPali's u-boot version is really opening up u-boot for the masses, very user friendly, on-the-fly generation of boot.scr code etc. It's usage can really take off, if it would also allow Nemo01:32
ali1234what's the point?01:32
ali1234developers should be shipping a boot.scr with their images01:33
*** afiestas_ has quit IRC01:34
netweaverit replaces the functionality of multiboot in a u-boot way. Select kernels/OS to boot on the fly, easy update commands to include new kernels in the menu. Perfect for safe testing of new stuff.01:35
netweaverJust thinking about the powered-off thing: when booting your uboot version, it isn't powered off either, otherwise it couldn't read the ukernel file off the SD card ...01:43
netweaverunless of course you switch it off right after reading that file. But as you don't touch the HW at all ...01:45
ali1234makes sense01:47
ali1234we had this same problem with usb before01:48
ali1234if you use it in u-boot it doesn't work in the kernel01:48
netweaverso how comes it works in your u-boot ? Magic touch ? :)01:49
netweaverAnyhow, close to 3 am here, need to get some sleep. at 8 am I'm having a conf call, I want to have some rest before. Thanks for looking at it, I'll also think along and try as u suggested. Not sure how far I'll get though.01:55
netweaverIs it ok if I refer in the bug to this conversation, for people to have a background of the issue ?01:56

slaineOffer a build for the top 3 locales09:41

slaineSomething else I did once was to work on an image stripping tool.09:42
slaineyou would analyze what files in an image had never been touched after a full test cycle, use that as a template for files to remove.09:42
Stskeepsyeah, probably09:43
slaineWell, that's more specialized09:44

*** smoku has joined #mer09:45
slaineit might be something to look at where the rpm package can be stripped of unneeded files.09:45
slaineThere's also the nodocs option that stops man and info pages getting installed, not sure if you're already using that one.09:45
Stskeepswe're already using that one09:46
Stskeepsvery useful thing09:46
slaineyup09:46
slaineI remember years ago having to basically strip out stuff manually by creating new .spec files for everything09:46

smokuStskeeps: have you considered building Mer core with uClibc ?10:21

Stskeepssmoku: either way, the thing i'm going towards is a split between toolchain and core, so core doesn't need to be self-hosting10:31

StskeepsCwalle: no, that's another problem but may help fix the serial console issue13:11
Stskeepsit was my first positive experience with china manufacturers -- they sent us free smartq5 and smartq7 and when we asked if we could have the kernel source so we could do development, they gave us kernel sources, bootloader sources and everything needed13:12
Cwallethere seem no CONFIG_CGROUPS in my kernel configure file13:12
Stskeepsok, it should be added then13:12
Cwallewow! what a nice company13:13
Stskeepskernel sources are of course obligatory to publish and so on, but they did it without demanding anything back :)13:13

StskeepsCwalle: it's very old, but sure13:14
Cwallenow the kernel i used is for android13:15

ali1234all i know is the omap support in u-boot was completely rewritten13:35
ali1234so looking at the changes in u-boot is probably a waste of time13:35

*** sonach has quit IRC13:36
ali1234or did someone start over and cherry pick patches?13:36
Stskeepsno history13:36
Stskeepskernel-nemo is a rebase and upstreaming on top of .3713:36
ali1234a rebase from what tho?13:36
Stskeepsie, we actually submitted things to main kernel and applied it to mainline13:36
Stskeepsas in taking patches / reworking on top of them, from n900 product kernel13:37
ali1234does mainline boot in a sensible way?13:37
ali1234oh, as in manual rebase :/13:37
Stskeepsit's fairly well supported13:37
ali1234ok. i'll try some various mainlines and see which ones boot/ or not13:37

Stskeepsand i don't think plasma active builds for mer's i486 port right now13:46
ali1234orly?13:46
ali1234shouldn't it get killed with a signal if that happened?13:47
sonachStskeeps: There is some connection error with me... the uxlaunch start log is :http://pastie.org/334814513:47
HUELKhmm thats bad so i have no other chance than use a precompiled image13:47
StskeepsHUELK: if i were you i would ask them to build for i486 too13:47
HUELKthe target device is x86 only13:47
Stskeepssonach: ok, how big is jffs2 image?13:47
sonachStskeeps: 9450291213:48
ali1234HUELK: likely a precompiled image wouldn't work either, if that is really the problem13:48
Stskeepssonach: ok, so not that bad13:48
ali1234i'm not 100% convinced though :)13:48
Stskeepssonach: i have to spend some time to test this out myself but it looks better than expected13:49
Stskeepssonach: thanks for trying it out13:49

sonachStskeeps: Thank you very much:) If you need me to try something out,  just touch me on IRC:)13:50
Stskeepssonach: alright13:50
sonachStskeeps: another thing.  Now the mainstream STB of Chinese markset is 256MB RAM, 128MB Flash. But 256MB flash is OK.13:51
HUELKStskeeps: i use the ks file form mdfe_ from #active and just use "sudo mic-image-creator --config=mer-plasma.ks --cache=/var/cache/meego-bootstrap --pkgmgr=yum  --format=fs" to build the image13:51
Stskeepssonach: ok, i would like to make the footprint lower anyway13:51

sonachStskeeps: as for RAM, usually half of it(i.e, 128MB) will be allocated for hardware video decoder and graphics, so we can use only 128MB.13:52

Netweaver_ali1234: :) What do you mean ? It works fine (at least the published debs) for the stock and derived kernels in the eMMC. For all the rest I'm doubting indeed.20:13
ali1234the source code on gitourious does not even boot the kernel20:14
ali1234it just corrupts the screen then hangs20:14
Netweaver_that different behaviour than what we see. I even managed once to get a proper blue Mer screen, but also 1000s of error -110 rolling over the screen20:15
ali1234well i can't do anything with binaries20:15
ali1234i am trying to fix it20:15
Netweaver_after that the SD card was corrupted I I had to format it with the sd.org format tool before I could do ANYTHING with it20:15
Netweaver_the card corruption has been seen by others as well20:16

Netweaver_Pali is the only guy who can give us the last state of the code.20:17
ali1234so yeah... i can't reproduce the bug20:17
Netweaver_only if u load the binaries, than it's pretty easy to see. BUt v hard to debug I guess20:18
ali1234yeah there's no point20:18
Netweaver_Should we ask Pali to share his code, even in the crappy state (as he claims) it is ?20:18
ali1234*shrug*20:19
Stskeepsit's GPL...20:19
Stskeeps:P20:19
Netweaver_I'll add the link to the conversation of today ( after midnight :) ) in the thread, for information on the analysis done and steps taken. I'll ask him to share everything in a proper way, so you can have a better look, on the real code used to create the binaries20:21
ali1234maybe it's my compiler20:21
ali1234looks like he uploaded code more recently20:21
ali1234ok20:22
ali1234i've got the new driver working in my codebase20:22
ali1234boots ok20:23
ali1234still cannot reproduce20:23
ali1234argh20:24
ali1234am i still connected?20:24
ali1234nemo exposes a network device on usb, it made my network manager go crazy20:24
Stskeepsyes20:24
ali1234i have a "wired network disconnected" notification. LIES20:25
ali1234Netweaver: maybe it's your SD card20:26
ali1234i'll try pali's binary just to make sure20:26
ali1234WOAH OK that's definitely broken20:29
Netweaver_:) you see all -110 errors ? :)20:31
ali1234yeah error spam20:32
Netweaver_I tried with 2 cards,  at least 4 other people have the same issue. Nobody has been able to boot Nemo properly with the latest Pali u-boot20:33
ali1234yep20:33
ali1234i can see that20:33
ali1234well, i just booted with 2011.12 plus my patches with some very very minor modifications to use the new mmc driver20:33
ali1234so the scope of possible errors is much smaller now20:34
Netweaver_it must be a timing issue, as sometimes one manages to get a bit further ... so not all reads are timing out20:34
Netweaver_I tried with a class 6 and class 10, but there are even people with an older class 2 having the issue. Also booting Nemo from the eMMC is not working fine.20:35
*** tsdedst has joined #mer20:35
ali1234well, i need the source of the actual released binary to do any more20:35
ali1234but we're close to finding it20:35

alinux__99hi I did install nemo and I have uboot installed as well, but I had a dual boot android maemo before, now after doing the sdcard install I cant see nemo in the boot options20:55
ali1234alinux__99: which boot menu?20:55
alinux__99ali1234, when I boot there is some sort of a boot menu with 1 for maemo and 2 for Android,20:56
ali1234alinux__99: afaik nitdroid is not compatible with u-boot and uses multiboot instead, which will wipe out your u-boot given the chance20:56
alinux__99ali1234, makes sense..so I should uninstall multiboot and reinstall u-boot ?20:57
ali1234well i don't know20:57
ali1234you know i originally made the u-boot because i didn't like multiboot20:57
ali1234cos it reflashes the kernel every time you switch OS20:57
ali1234and u-boot goes in the kernel slot20:57
ali1234so using them both will probably lead to bad things happening20:58
Crnkojguys does anyone know if one can set bootargs for tegra2 devices to output to hdmi ?20:58
ali1234unfortunately i didn't realise that nitdroid can only work with multiboot for some technical reasons20:58
ali1234so basically... unless you really know what you're doing with both the systems, you'll have to pick one or the other20:59
alinux__99ali1234, I am not in need of nitdroid anymore right now, I want to make mer work ..20:59
ali1234well in general you should probably remove multiboot, however i have no idea how you would do that20:59
alinux__99ali1234, I did remove the android sd card inserted the Nemo sdcard and did remove multiboot using apt-get on maemo20:59
alinux__99ali1234, will try to reinstall uboot now20:59
ali1234if you don't see the black screen with linux penguin, u-boot isn't installed21:00
ali1234although the backlight may be off when that is displayed21:01
Netweaver_ali1234: Ammyt, one of the nitdroid dev's is working on a uboot compatible version, as stskeeps said that the binary blobs could be permanently copied into the Nitdroid roof fs. As opposed to now being copied at boot time from the Maemo partition.21:01
ali1234you should still be able to see it under a bright light though21:01
ali1234Netweaver: yes they;ve been promising to fix that for ages :)21:01
*** stepiro has quit IRC21:02
ali1234alinux__99: u-boot is lower level than multiboot, it runs before any kernel, multiboot is like a small distro on it's own21:02
*** stepiro has joined #mer21:02
alinux__99ali1234, it said beginning flash update...nand..Image flashed successfully...will reboot21:02
ali1234well, initscripts running under a kernel21:02
Netweaver_I know Ammyt was also charmed by the latest Pali uboot, specifically the menu and the user friendliness of adding extra kernels/OS. So maybe now ...21:03
alinux__99ali1234, Penguin in upeer left corner21:03
ali1234alinux__99: you should be good then, just insert nemo sd card and remember to put the back on :)21:03
alinux__99ali1234, how to reboot into Maemo if needed ?21:04
ali1234alinux__99: remove sd card21:04
ali1234reboot21:04
ali1234that's it :)21:04
alinux__99ali1234, soudns good thanks21:04
ali1234i don't see how it can be any more user friendly than that :)21:04
ali1234but what you have to watch out for is if you reboot to maemo and multiboot comes up21:05
ali1234cos that might erase u-boot again21:05
alinux__99ali1234, I did remove multiboot..thanks21:05
ali1234but idk, i never tested that21:05
alinux__99ali1234, it is booting into maemo although it shows uboot21:06
*** vivijim has quit IRC21:06

ali1234yes21:08
ali1234you don't need to stop it21:08
ali1234well, you shouldn't21:08
alinux__99ali1234, it goes to maemo though :(21:09
ali1234what does run mmcboot say?21:09
*** lynxis has quit IRC21:10
alinux__99ali1234, wrong image format for bootm, cant get kernel image21:10
ali1234it might be that old version of u-boot that doesn't check all partitions21:11
alinux__99ali1234, it is pr1321:11
ali1234i'm not familiar with that version21:11
ali1234which mmc partitions is it checking? and which partition is the kernel image and boot script on?21:11
ali1234and did you create the sd card properly?21:12
alinux__99ali1234, in the how to it sais In the Hildon Application Manager, install the U-Boot package, found in "System" category. (The package is 'uboot-pr13' at the time of writing)21:12
ali1234can you link me to the guide you followed please?21:12
alinux__99ali1234, I did create the sd card using dd ..so not much I can do wrong :)21:12
