I have got a feedback that all components should arrive by August 22th. Except the headset jack. This is currently not in stock at the manufacturer or distributors. Estimated delivery in October :( Well, we don't want to wait that long and it looks as if there are brokers who can get them for us. > > On the software side we have published letux kernel 4.7.0: > > http://download.goldelico.com/letux-kernel/letux-4.7/ > > It fixes the hdq driver so that we can again read the fuel gauge and > battery state of charge.

So the difference lies somewhere outside the charger > driver but we have not yet found where. Thanks to the help from Andreas, we have found what is going wrong and developed a partial solution. The problem is that the charger driver assumes that the usb driver enables the OTG interface. This includes a prescaler for the VBUS measurement. This should become enabled if a cable is inserted. But it isn't. This has the following consequences for the charger: * VBUS virtually remains at 0mV (although available) * the automatic charging mode detects an illegal state and turns off after some milliseconds * the measurement for the battery NTC is turned of as well and hence we see only 56°C We have developed a hack for this (enable the prescaler before starting charging). This makes charging (and interestingly also the ethernet gadget) work again, so that we can better debug other issues. It does not solve the underlaying problem of course, where we also know that during suspend the USB driver does not turn off correctly. Therefore we are not yet back down to the 25mA suspend current we did have in the 3.7 kernel. If you are interested in the patch it is here: http://git.goldelico.com/?p=gta04-kernel.git;a=commit;h=b8c538e75c6dd034889bdb0d66e00ca6e128e616 And the discussions: http://lists.goldelico.com/pipermail/letux-kernel/2016-July/thread.html BR, Nikolaus _______________________________________________ Community mailing list Community@openphoenux.org http://lists.goldelico.com/mailman/listinfo.cgi/community http://www.tinkerphones.org
