 thanks a lot, greetings, zachso


Shouldn't such information be in the wiki for reference ?

I have tweaked mine unfortunately, so I'm not sure it's worth reusing.

microSD partition table and proper heads/sectors/cylinders # ?

2008-09-21 Thread Olivier Berger
Hi.

I noticed that initially, my 2GB microSD card was displaying :
# fdisk -l /dev/mmcblk0

Disk /dev/mmcblk0: 2032 MB, 2032664576 bytes
64 heads, 63 sectors/track, 984 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 4032 * 512 = 2064384 bytes

Device Boot  Start End  Blocks  Id System
/dev/mmcblk0p1   1 984 1983619+  6 FAT16

After Debian installer's partitioning step, it becomes :
# fdisk -l /dev/mmcblk0

Disk /dev/mmcblk0: 2032 MB, 2032664576 bytes
4 heads, 16 sectors/track, 62032 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 64 * 512 = 32768 bytes

Device Boot  Start End  Blocks  Id System
/dev/mmcblk0p1   1 2457832  83 Linux
/dev/mmcblk0p2 246   62032 1977184  83 Linux

Is there any rationale for the heads/sectors/cylinders difference ?

I'm not sure this is something that matters as I never really tried
and figure how the microSD memory to disk mapping is done.

Thanks in advance for any hints.

Re: SD Card Issues On GTA02

2008-09-06 Thread Olivier Berger
Marzak [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes:

 Hello,


 I read the information about slowing down the clock speed to allow for
 slower cards.  This is the original SD card, but I gave it a try anyway.  I
 created another boot menu entry with the added argument to max the speed at
 1000.  I tried the debian installer again and had the same error.


You're talking of http://docs.openmoko.org/trac/ticket/1743 ?

The glamo_mci.sd_max_clk workaround seems to not apply in my case,
although I'm not completely sure.

 I checked over the list of supported SD cards and tried a 2GB scandisk
 thinking that maybe my SD card had an issue.  Same results.

 Is there anything that I missed or did not consider? Anything else I can
 try?  Could I have a bad SD controller?


Same here I think although my card wasn't listed initially in
http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Supported_microSD_cards

I suspect there's something nasty around, as this is the 3rd thread
about the same subject in 3 days (both on community and support
lists).

I guess all should try and review the ticket above and add reference
info in the wiki, to try and identify the problem more precisely.

Hope this helps.

2008.8 updated today and illume as default profile brings classical enlightenment

2008-09-04 Thread Olivier Berger
Hi.

I updated to today's stable packages (after noticing quite a lot of merges
from testing), and lost the illume/raster keyboard.

I tried to apply the hacks described at
http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Keyboard_Debate#How_to_install_the_illume_.28Raster.27s.29_keyboard_.3F
(more or less), and noticed that now, only the 'asu' default profile
seems to bring the 2008.8 theme, and setting it as 'illum' (echo
'E_PROFILE=-profile illume'  /etc/enlightenment/default_profile)
will switch to classical enlightenment desktop like theme, menus,
etc.

I think the http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Keyboard_Debate should be
updated, but I'm not so sure something ain't broken in the current
stable updates :-/

I'm back with the ASU keyboard (and no config wrench) for the time being.

Thanks for any comments.

 I also had this issue when I upgraded today.

 Yes, I think there is actually something broken. When I did opkg files
 illume-config-illume after the upgrade, it showed that this package was
 actually empty, just like several of the other illume packages
 (illume-keyboard-*).

Indeed :
 illume-config-illume 
Package illume-config-illume (0.0+svnr35727-r13) is installed on root and has 
the following files:
[NOTHING]
 illume-keyboards-default 
Package illume-keyboards-default (0.0+svnr35727-r13) is installed on root and 
has the following files:
[NOTHING]
 illume-keyboards-numbers 
Package illume-keyboards-numbers (0.0+svnr35727-r13) is installed on root and 
has the following files:
[NOTHING]
 illume-keyboards-terminal 
Package illume-keyboards-terminal (0.0+svnr35727-r13) is installed on root and 
has the following files:
[NOTHING]


 Doing an opkg install with the URL of the
 packages in the testing feed didn't seem to work either, I had to
 download the ipk's from the testing feed, put their md5sums into the
 packages list in /var/lib/opkg/daily-all and opkg install *.ipk. That
 did it for me.


I did manual install of :
# opkg install 
http://downloads.openmoko.org/repository/Om2008.8/all/illume-config-illume_0.0+svnr35727-r13_all.opk
# opkg install 
http://downloads.openmoko.org/repository/Om2008.8/all/illume-keyboards-default_0.0+svnr35727-r13_all.opk
# opkg install 
http://downloads.openmoko.org/repository/Om2008.8/all/illume-keyboards-numbers_0.0+svnr35727-r13_all.opk
# opkg install 
http://downloads.openmoko.org/repository/Om2008.8/all/illume-keyboards-terminal_0.0+svnr35727-r13_all.opk

And that reinstalled them properly...

USB networking deconnected... interference with avahi-daemon on host ?

2008-08-27 Thread Olivier Berger
Hi.

I experienced issues with intermitent USB networking deconnections (I
mean, the IP level, since underlying USB was still there). That was on
initial ASU/2008.8.

I think it used to be worse when avahi-daemon was running on my
host. Now I have shut it down, it's better, although not perfect.

Would anyone have similar experience, or hints ?

Maybe if we had a set of pictures to name them and avoid confusion

You may have a look at

dual boot in any case.

 I'm not sure.  I suspect older U-Boot had lower probability of making

How could I check which version I'm using on my FR and if it's

 Are you sure that it is not 4th Aug -- looks like 8th April in some
 countries?  I doubt the latest symlink is broken for so many months.

 At the moment we don't stamp the image with the git head of the sources
 it came from, we should move to that. 

I guess so.

 There's a build date on the menu

Well... should it read U-Boot 1.3.2-moko12 (May 9 2008 - 10:28:48)
on first line, then ? ... I'd expect something closer from now :-/

 and coming out of the serial console as you saw.


Same hopefully ;) :

GTA02v5 # version

U-Boot 1.3.2-moko12 (May  9 2008 - 10:28:48)

 At the moment this one is up to date for today and has the USB Insane
 Spam Mode fixes.

 http://buildhost.openmoko.org/daily/freerunner/200808/20080804/u-boot-gta02v5-1.3.1+gitr18+64eb10cab8055084ae25ea4e73b66dd03cc1a0cb-r0.bin


Tried it and get the same versions (means the link are OK on the
download site).


I thought about trying something : 

# ./dfu-util -a u-boot -R -U current-uboot.bin

# strings current-uboot.bin  | grep git
U-Boot 1.3.2+gitr18+64eb10cab8055084ae25ea4e73b66dd03cc1a0cb (Aug  4 2008 - 
02:33:52)
Neo1973 Bootloader U-Boot 1.3.2+gitr18+64eb10cab8055084ae25ea4e73b66dd03cc1a0cb

So obviously, the version on u-boot's prompt is not meanlingful,
then... :(

Should I file a bug report ?

 Not sure if that applies to you, but I had the same problem, until I realized 
 I
 was booting to NOR (which you can't update w/o the debug board) instead of 
 NAND
 all the time. Should that be the case for you, too, try booting with
 pressing+holding Power first and then pressing and holding AUX while still
 holding the power button until your freerunner comes to life.


Thanks alot.

I was indeed booting from NOR (which was indicated in the boot menu,
by the way, but I didn't notice).

I booted from NAND (following
http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Booting#Log_into_U-Boot_in_the_NAND_Flash),
and this time, it's OK, displaying (Aug 4 2008 -
02:33:52)0cab8055084ae25ea4e73b66dd03cc1a0cb at top of screen ! :-)

And connecting through USB console, I get :

GTA02v5 # version

U-Boot 1.3.2+gitr18+64eb10cab8055084ae25ea4e73b66dd03cc1a0cb (Aug  4 2008 - 
02:33:52)

Great, I know now in which order to press buttons on the FR ;-)

Thanks alot again.

 Yes, it's telling you about the upstream git version / date I guess, but
 we don't intend to update U-Boot from upstream at all if we can get away
 with it.  So only our build info is interesting.

 Anyway it is the right build :-)


As you may have seen from my previous message, there's no bug there,
only the fact that I wasn't booting from NAND, but still from the
factory version in NOR.

I updated http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Flashing_the_Neo_FreeRunner in
order to provide more detailed instructions for others that may face
the same situation.

Thanks for your time.

 I needed

 opkg remove -force-depends gtk+-fastscaling

 but otherwise this sorted out the error messages.

 Thank you.  I really appreciate the work-around for gtk+.

 However I think this represents an example of a deeper issue.  How
 many -force-depends, -nodeps or remove foo / install bar are we
 expecting new users to navigate when trying to upgrade from their
 factory configurations?  Is it not possible to get the package
 dependencies properly defined so that opkg will just work?  

I suppose you'd like to check
https://docs.openmoko.org/trac/ticket/1650 which seems to explain
where the issue comes from, AFAICT... maybe this will enlighten you a
bit more ?

You may have a look at https://docs.openmoko.org/trac/ticket/1650

Re: Battery discharging after long time connected to the power charger ?

Joerg Reisenweber [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes:

 Please note:
 1) Openmoko does NOT recommend to do this, nor is it usually necessary when 
 using the OM-charger or a standard powered host at PC.
 It's a hack for non-OM wallchargers only.

I assume it would also be valid for car chargers like
http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/USB_charger#sold_as_.22Essentiel_b_.28Boulanger.29.22_Chargeur_allume-cigares.2FUSB
... as I did it ;)

My 2 cents.

Battery discharging after long time connected to the power charger ?

2008-07-18 Thread Olivier Berger
Hi.

I've just noticed something strange.

If 'm not mistaken, the battry was reported discharging (whith 'apm')
while the FR was connected to the power charger (provided with the
FR).

I had left the FR plugged to the power charger during all night, and
thismorning, after waking up (maybe not enough), I checked the battery
status with the command-line apm command, and was surprised to see the
battery reported at 85%, off-line, battery status high 85% ...

What's happening at night that would stop the charging (either
software-side or charger-side ?) ?

Thanks in advance for your comments.

Best regards,

Re: SSH into Freerunner

shawn sullivan [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes:

 Thanks Steven. I've actually tried both variations with the same 
 results. I thought maybe my system was getting confused w/ the 
 192.168.0.200.


Looks like you may need to learn basic TCP/IP networking.

If your freerunner is configured to known itself as 192.168.0.202,
then your should talk to it on that address (and not
192.168.1.202). And you should do it from your other host which should
be 192.168.0.200 too)...

Then of course if your already had a network interface with routing
using 192.168.0.x it would be confusing for your host. Unless you're
doing bridging, but that shouldn't usually be the case.

Hope this helps anyway.

Re: opkg upgrade = endless IRQ messages

Brian C [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes:


 That doesn't seem like a great way for the opkg upgrade process to
 terminate, and it leaves me wondering which packages upgraded and which

Have you tried and upgrade from inside X ?

You should to the upgrade from a ssh session IMHO...

But this would lead to another problem.

My suggestion : 
1. connect into the terminal app in the GUI
2. there type/tap opkg update
3. also there type/tap opkg upgrade dropbear
4. connect via SSH
5. inside the SSH shell, do opkg upgrade

This was the only way I found to upgrade (almost) everything.

Hope this helps.
