Re: Battery recovery issues
Emiliano Pastorino wrote: Hello everyone, I'm trying to recover a battery than seems to be broken. This is what I've done so far: - I've plugged the battery on an unsecured XO. - When I run watch-battery from the ok prompt, I get a No battery message. - I tried see-bstate and I get an infinite output of 0 1 2 0 1 2 0 1 2 0 1 2 - Battery led never flashes. - If I use a known good battery, I get all the expected results (led turns on, nice output from the commands above). Besides, I tried to use batman.fth, but when I run fload nand:\batman.fth I get The file 'nand:\olpc.fth' cannot be opened. I've downloaded batman.fth from http://dev.laptop.org/pub/firmware/scripts/batman.fth and placed it in / . Put batman.fth in /home/olpc and try fload nand:\home\olpc\batman.fth. nand:\ at the ok prompt is not / in linux, check with dir nand:\ at the ok prompt. Try to reset the battery with 1w-init bat-set-low and bat-recover, I have seen a battery with the see-bstate problem working afterwards. Good luck. I'm using firmware Q2E35. Is that battery unrecoverable? How can I tell the difference between a completely broken battery and a broken-but-recoverable one? Any tips?

Are you using the latest batman.fth? I pulled a lot of batman functionality into the firmware and had to modify batman.fth to avoid the errors above.

Try to reset the battery with 1w-init bat-set-low and bat-recover, I have seen a battery with the see-bstate problem working afterwards. 1w-init should not be used anymore. Rather you do a 'batman-start' New firmware suspends only the battery interface and leaves the keyboard active. 'batman-stop' will resume normal operation.

Re: Battery recovery issues
Are you using the latest batman.fth? I pulled a lot of batman functionality into the firmware and had to modify batman.fth to avoid the errors above. I'm using 0.3.6. Originally, I only pulled in some key diagnostics but then in later firmwares I needed the formatting functions too so its a bit of a mismash. Is there any up-to-date document on how to proceed when recovering a faulty battery using recent firmware? New firmware suspends only the battery interface and leaves the keyboard active. 'batman-stop' will resume normal operation. Should I expect any output when running batman-start? I noticed that battery interface is suspended, but I don't see anything else going on. Now I'm trying to recover a red led flashing battery. Suddenly, it went from flashing red to nothing and I'm also getting No battery from watch-battery and 0 1 2 0 1 2. from see-bstat. When the led was flashing red, I could get an error code of 2 from ec-abnormal@ .. Now I'm getting 0. I'd like to know what that 2 meant. Where can I get the explanation of those error codes? I'll be testing more faulty batteries, so I'll be bothering here periodically :) ___ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel

I didn't have the latest up on the site. Grab a fresh copy. Is there any up-to-date document on how to proceed when recovering a faulty battery using recent firmware? No. But the difference is just running batman-start prior to bat-recover. If you want to stop bat-recover then remove the battery. It will error and drop to an ok prompt. Should I expect any output when running batman-start? I noticed that battery interface is suspended, but I don't see anything else going on. Nope. And while batman is enabled don't expect the charge LED to do anything normal. It will flash in odd patterns. Now I'm trying to recover a red led flashing battery. Suddenly, it went from flashing red to nothing and I'm also getting No battery from watch-battery and 0 1 2 0 1 2. from see-bstat.

The error list on the wiki is a bit out of date. I'll work on updating a list on the battery diagnostics page. A 2 mean that the status register setting in the battery gas gauge was not what the EC expected it to be. This happens every so often and is usually transient. If it was actually written into the EEPROM and you get that every time then please do a bat-dump-banks and look at the value in the 2nd line of bank0, Col 1. It should be 0x6a if is not then you can use bat-set-status to fix it. ok batman-start ok 6a bat-set-status ok batman-stop I'll be testing more faulty batteries, so I'll be bothering here periodically :) No problem. Please help me keep the battery diagnostic page up to date with things that you find. On that note. I need to get with you sometime and get some charge logs. I'm want to know how the capacity of the batteries you have had out in the field are holding up. -- Richard Smith rich...@laptop.org One Laptop Per Child ___ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel

Re: plz test Build 802 + Firmware Q2E41 = Candidate Release 8.2.1
Hi, As I understand 802 differs from 801 only in the firmware. Is it true? That's right. Shall I test 802 if I have been using 801 for a long time? A small amount of testing would be very good, yes. We don't expect any changes to be visible outside of the firmware and battery charging (behavior should be better in the presence of batteries with extremely low charge), but we should double-check that everything looks normal. Will anybody fix kernel/X errors if I report them? Please do report them, but they will probably not be fixed in this release, which will be happening as soon as this last round of smoke testing completes. We might be able to provide you with workarounds, though, or be able to start creating fixes for inclusion in the next release. Filing a bug is generally worthwhile no matter where we happen to be in the release process.
