Oh My! Version inflation - we're up to q2e42e.rom . What's the state of it?

The various alpha suffix revisions fix the problems that have been 
reported.  Systematic testing has not happened yet.  Is there a plan yet 
for engaging deployment teams to do testing?

Tested on CL1, CL1A SKU39, and B4.

Tested built-in tests, keyboard, two touchpad types, camera, and sound.

Tested booting with OLPC build 802, F11-for-XO-1 build os10, and DebXO
0.5 KDE.

Reproduced #10024 (fails to detect the SD card on the first attempt),
and confirmed Q2E42a fixes it.

Re: Announcing Q2E42 firmware for XO-1.0

2010-02-13 Thread Yioryos Asprobounitis
On a very fast test on XO-1 CL1. 
Running F11-XO1/os10 there are 2 batteries in frame.

However, the major problem appears to be that there is a delayed detection of 
the SDcard. Thus is looking for the olpc.fth file, first in USB then in the 
NAND and never in the SDcard. 
Booting from USB is fine.

Even flashing the firmware back to q2e41 with flash sd:\boot\q2e41.rom, first 
time the response is Cant't open device.  Re-type the command without 
rebooting. Is fine. 
Tried a  2 different SD cards just in case, one ext2 formated the other vfat. 
Same result.

Back to q2e41, everything is fine.

This release is for testing a number of security enhancements for XO-1.0 
and many other changes that have been added to the source tree during 
the development of XO-1.5. Since it has been a long time since the last 
XO-1.0 firmware release, it would not be surprising to find problems 
with this release, so the best guess is that another XO-1.0 release will 
be needed before widespread deployment.


Changes since OLPC Firmware q2e41
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/OLPC_Firmware_q2e41

* Trac 9045 - key delegation
* Trac 9362 - setup-smbios for Linux boots
* Trac 9434 - nbclone to secure XO possible
* Trac 9485 - Secure Windows boot
* Trac 9972 and others - Fixed numerous problems with ext2
  filesystem package
* Numerous improvements to USB stack
* Improvements to SDHCI driver
* Many other changes in support of XO-1.5, some of which had
  (hopefully minor) impact on XO-1.0 code

Great!

    * Trac 9045 - key delegation

I'll be testing this on monday.

    * Trac 9362 - setup-smbios for Linux boots

From conversations and code review about 2 months ago, I suspect that
this will affect F11-for-XO-1 builds (Steve CC'd). Some scripts (in
olpc-utils, IIRC) were probing for apci data, and falling back to XO-1
specific interfaces.

If F11-for-XO-1 can include a signed version of this (or later) OFW,
the compat crud can be removed, simplifying things and unifying with
XO-1.5 code.

cheers,

Re: Announcing Q2E42 firmware for XO-1.0

2010-02-13 Thread Mikus Grinbergs
Installed Q2E42 on XO-1s with F9 builds, F11 builds, and F12 builds, all
booted from jffs2.  Q2E42 did not test the develop.sig on the SD card -
only on device 'int:'

Regularly the machines would stall (last line shown: either Using USB
keyboard or Type the ESC key to interrupt automatic startup) UNLESS I
had before booting detached the USB cable coming from the external hub.
 This stalling situation appeared to me to occur more often than with Q2E41.
