possible progress on XO-1 camera issues

2009-12-12 Thread Daniel Drake
Hi,

Jon Corbet's been working on the XO-1.5 camera driver for us, and while
doing so he found a V4L2 bug which is probably one of the reasons that
we're having problems with XO-1 camera on all post-8.2 builds.

The workaround is to build the sensor driver into the kernel, and the
camera driver as a module.

I've made the equivalent change for the kernel that has been built here:

http://xs-dev.laptop.org/~dsd/repos/f11-xo1/kernel-2.6.31_xo1-20091211.1834.1.olpc.813348c.i586.rpm

Untested, just wanted to get the word out.

Note that you may have to load the camera driver (cafe_ccic) manually,
if it doesn't automatically get loaded.

Word is going round that on a SoaS build for XO (which uses something
close to OLPC's 2.6.30 kernel, I think), someone recently managed to
capture a photo from the command line.

If someone is up for a small task, it would be good to start changing
these "words going round" to some actual solid information. Anyone want
to head up these efforts and to start
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Reviving_XO1_camera ?
At the very least it would be nice to have some solid documentation on
where the problem is (and isn't). Is it in ov7670, cafe_ccic, v4l2,
gstreamer, xf86-video-geode, or..? How can you tell? Does the above
kernel help? What's the exact command you can use on F12 SoasXO to take
a photo? What's the corresponding error if you do that on F11? etc.

Daniel

My apologies for the delay in response.

The progress at my end has been slow due to recent health issues. I hope to
be well, and back to work mode by the next weekend. Will send you updates
sometime soon.

Appreciate your guidance and support.

Regards,

Manu

Ok, I see. I have an USB ethernet adapter around here, will use it
instead of wireless then.

Ok, thanks. Will mix it up when I'm not close to the machine.

Re: Some testing notes for OS10 for the XO-1

2009-12-12 Thread Hal Murray
The display startup quirk in OS9 has been fixed.


> Can you suspend?  Does it wake up?

No.  Something in that area is broken.

What's the simplest/cleanest way to disable suspend so we can look for other 
quirks?  (and have a useful machine)
