Strace it? | It also appears than any sort of write to the SD-card (even just 4 kB) | can interrupt audio. I don't know if it's down to the hardware or a kernel | bug. Reading from the SD-card seems to work fine. We do have to sit there spamming the 4KB into the Glamo memory before starting the transaction. But it's not much different from having to spam out the 4KB from the Glamo memory on read inside interrupt context when notified it completed. Maybe the card blocks for a long time after the write, and the next command we try doesn't return a status for a long time and we sit spinning for it. - -Andy -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Fedora - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkmGv+wACgkQOjLpvpq7dMpc6wCfScD8JkWMLLHTPduGNhA+y3HI D+IAni20DjyLO8DORkfzzxyPUQKhEIR9 =8s8k -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ hardware mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/hardware
