One way you can solve it for yourself is by rewriting (with dd) the
first sector that contains the partition table and rebooting.  So you
can have two views on to the rest of the storage exposing just the
partitions you want in each view.  That'd get you 14 partitions and the
ability to share eg /home between the two views and so all OSes.

However, Qi works perfectly fine with suspend and resume here on recent

| OK. You are saying that with uBoot+2.6.24, it wasn't suspending
| properly, hence resume worked, but with Qi+2.6.24, suspend worked, but
| resume is broken.

What I mean is that it's known 2.6.24 kernel stuff is broken for suspend
/ resume in a deep way, if it happens to work it's basically chance.  So
hearing that it doesn't work properly under some conditions don't give a
good clue, since it can break under different timing or interrupts or
whatever happening.  2.6.28+ stuff has this fixed, so misbehaviour on
resume means a smaller set of possibilities and we can start to imagine
what can be happening.

| Why does Qi/uBoot affect this?

I think it's to do with the sequencing of power / init to the LCM.  In
U-Boot, we bring up the Glamo and LCM to show the boot logo.  In Qi, we
do not bring up the Glamo LCD controller nor program the LCM until the
Linux drivers start.

We know that the guts of the LCM are not entirely under control since
the last WSOD business, there's some people reporting monochrome display
after resume as well.  But it varies by physical LCM, I run Qi for
months every build and I don't see any of it on my test GTA02.

| What distro do I need to flash to test this properly (i.e. which diistro

This FSO v5 thing, really anything with 2.6.28 should also work well

Yeah, Qi is doing fine loading and booting Linux as it should, there's
nothing to blame it for here.

If you see the backlight come up you're out of Qi and the kernel is
running, unless the issue involves kernel commandline it's most likely a
rootfs or kernel related issue then.  Some rootfs cannot cope with
mounting the thing ro which is Qi policy, maybe that's the problem.

I don't think you have the wrong Qi either, I guess it would not start

Right, panicked.

No it shouldn't panic anyway.

Can you open a Trac bug about this, just cut and paste your description
here is fine.

If we can reproduce it with a debug board it's probably not too hard to
make the panic go away anyway.

Ad-hoc is relatively uncommon so it makes sense it's going to show more
bugs.

Somebody in the thread at some point said:
| 2009/1/31 Andy Green a...@openmoko.com:
| So need to remove what you have in partition 1, and add a kernel named
| /boot/uImage-GTA02.bin into partition 2 (since that's your rootfs),
| which should be ext2 or better ext3.
|
| Thanks. The Debian installer had put the kernel in the root of
| /dev/mmcblk0p1, not in a boot subdirectory. I added a boot
| subdirectory with symlinks to the kernel and now it's all working.
|
| Why is the journalling of ext3 better? Would the kernel also be better

Ext3 is better IMO because it can soak up a lot of casual damage that
ext2 can't.  With my usage pattern I am randomly powering things off all
the time I appreciate how ext3 never makes any difficulty for me about
that.  Whereas after a day of it ext2 is on its knees.

| off in an ext3 fs?

Splitting the kernel off in its own private partition is an aberration
we introduced because ext2 parser in U-Boot was broken for a while.  So
we had to make do with a VFAT partition first that U-Boot could parse,
then an ext2 one after that contained the rootfs.

But it makes trouble for updating the kernel in the case you have
multiple rootfs, and makes it possible to get your kernel and modules
out of sync.  It's an ugly kludge.

So the optimum situation is that the kernel is coming out of the same
filesystem that is the root filesystem, the package update for it is
simply to put in it /boot on current root filesystem which is easiest
for the package system.

It also readily allows different kernels in different rootfs if you are
making an SD with multiple rootfs.

| If you program the PCF50633 as:
|   - charger enabled
|   - 100mA current limit
|   - do not wake on USB insertion (avoids the brownout issue)

| completely-dead battery, you can plug it in and it will slow-charge the
| battery in hardware. I think it still technically violates one of the
| USB standards by drawing current without talking to the host, but IMHO
| it's unlikely to cause any real-world problems.
|
|
| 1. This really ought to be default behaviour, the current way is really
| *really* bad.
|
| 2. Why stick to 100mA? I thought the USB standard was for ports to support
| 500mA?
|
| 3. I'm sure the FR doesn't need to negotiate with its charger.
|
| 4. How easy is it to make this change?

The issue is more complicated than this.

pcf50633 has more than one level of hardcoded default actions, some
registers get reset when you tell it to enter what it calls standby
but we would more naturally call off, and more get reset again when
the small backup battery that is also present on GTA02 becomes
exhausted, called NOPOWER state.

The real default settings for our variant that occur with NOPOWER
forces the charger disabled.  So if you stick your FR in a drawer, the
main battery is exhausted, the backup battery goes down a day or
whatever later, nothing that we did in previous session about charger
status sticks, the charger is off.  In addition, due to VB_SYS issue, we
can't get easily get to the point of running any code on A5 to enable it
without a loan from the battery to get us started.

Sometimes the battery is in cutoff and does have some power in the cell,
it's just disconnected from the terminals.  That's when any kind of
external kick will get us out of the hole.

There is no violation of USB standards if you only pull 100mA, but
another default set by going off even is that we pull 500mA from the
USB host until the CPU can get started, and that is in violation.  But
since we can do nothing about it, and we didn't find a host that cares
yet, it's OK.

There's two interesting ideas from Mike though, one is that disable USB
insert as ON will help by giving longer for VB_SYS to charge and the
other is leave charger enabled.  For both of these, they are defeated
(USB insert is ON action, charger disabled) by NOPOWER and we have no
control then.  If the backup battery had not decayed, it could help, but
it only has very partial impact and is not magically delivering the
behaviour you want, GTA02 with this issue still will not start if left
long enough for backup battery to fall below the pcf50633 threshold for
NOPOWER.

You're booted into the kernel fine, since with Qi nothing brings up

In Sean McNeil's kernel configs he has turned off the framebuffer
console completely because it caused flickering apparently.

So I guess you're all set but something is blowing chunks once Android

Re: GSM no longer registers on GTA02 - how to troubleshoot?

2008-12-09 Thread Andy Green
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

Somebody in the thread at some point said:
| Hi everybody,
|
| I have been using Freerunner as a daily phone for some months now, and
| yesterday it suddenly stopped registering the GSM network. It was
| working fine in the morning, sending/receiving SMS, making phone
| calls, etc., then in the afternoon suddenly the phone portion was
| completely dead. I restarted qpe (running Om2008.9) a few times, then
| rebooted the phone, pulled out the battery and SIM and reseated
| everything, etc., but got nowhere. When I got home, I reflashed a
| couple of known good kernel/rootfs combinations, but got nowhere. I
| even tried an FSO image, since it uses a different phoneserver, but it
| didn't work either. I put my SIM into my old dumbphone (which is a
| little bit broken, in that it only works on speakerphone) and it was
| able to register with no problems.
|
| How can I troubleshoot GSM registration to see at what point the
| process is failing? I would hate for this to be a hardware problem,
| but I don't know what to do when reflashing doesn't work.
|
| I do have another issue, which I don't think is related: my NAND
| u-boot seems to be borked. Whenever I boot the GTA02 without booting
| it from the NOR u-boot, I get a scrambled image on the screen and the
| device is frozen. Often, the scrambled image that appears is whatever
| was in the framebuffer right before powering off. If I boot into NOR
| u-boot, I can boot into the OS fine, but if I just try to turn it on
| without holding down the AUX button or try booting into NAND u-boot, I
| get a freeze. I've tried reflashing u-boot several times, but it
| doesn't help. I download u-boot from downloads.openmoko.org and the
| md5 sum of my u-boot image is 40b8f908649f78e7d70358239da96f98. Is
| this a known good image? Why would u-boot fail after reflashing?

Your U-Boot environment can have some issue, that's why the problem
behaviour is so sticky.  You are into trying to get a USB serial
connection on ttyACM0 on your host and meddling from there.

About your main problem not much idea except confirm the SIM still works
on another phone I guess.

It's great you found some suspend stability, but on 2.6.24 / stable
there is zero doubt it is purely random chance build by build.  I would
guess that's why you can 'tune' stability by just removing patches that
affect the resume race by timing, even though the patches themselves
have no direct impact on suspend otherwise.  I found I could make or
break a 2.6.24 kernel for suspend merely by adding printk()s around.

Real solution is coming closer in stable-tracking for these problems
hopefully, although right now accel comms is completely broken in there.

 Just as a clarification, isn't the stable kernel tree only actually
 available in the unstable repository currently? Even testing has a
 kernel version from August (git a1e97c611), and the same version is in
 2008.8 (stable) repository.

Right -- I am talking about stable git branch for kernel itself.
Currently updating of kernel in packaging is rather conservative...
something I both approve of and am a bit dubious about at the same time.
 At least if folks can get at it from unstable it's OK, but I wonder
what the deal is with mixing stable basis for the distro with

If the GSM side transmits, it pulls 2A at that time, otherwise
typically 300mA at battery.

I think so, but I never used GTA01 so I can't give you totally straight
answer.

It just starts him up in NOR U-Boot instead of NAND.  The guy didn't

I found on some devices with various vintages of NOR U-Boot and / or
trouble you need to do that particular sequence to get it to start, so I
described it in detail just in case.

Yes, U-Boot unzips it.

The problem is probably with your U-Boot environment, it should have
some magic like this lying around

splashimage=nand read.e 0x3200 splash 0x5000; unzip 0x3200
0x0880 0x96000

If you do it by hand at U-Boot prompt it should show the splash in the
framebuffer.  It should be set in the environment to autoexecute
somewhere along the line but I have forgotten exactly how.

Re: kernel panic on the second boot from the sd

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-

Somebody in the thread at some point said:

| The problem is that sometimes when Linux tries to access the sd card,

| the first successful read in a session everything's gravy and you can
| read/write all you want, but in some circumstances software gives up at

| of partition 2, or a partition starting at block 179 (the first block of
| partition 2?) and get sector 2 of it.  In any case what is going on here

No, these are the device numbers, where 179 is the mmc block devices.
It's basically saying that the second partition of that device doesn't
exist.

These would always be the numbers you see if you ask to boot from
mmcblk0p2 regardless of what the problem is.

I think you're right about the card not being ready somehow and timing
out though.

| How is it possible that a previously working card suddenly becomes

The issue here is that timeout on Glamo MCI is in units of MMC clocks,
but part of the latency for data access to the NAND in the card is in
absolute time.  So for example, it takes 100ms to get the data off the
memory in the card.

The absolute time that passes in the Glamo timeout depends entirely on
the clock speed, it's double the duration at 12.5MHz than it is at 25MHz
for example.

So reduction of clock here is just extending the absolute timeout period
to match what your (slow) card needs.

Somebody in the thread at some point said:

| My new FR (DateCode 20080725) is suspected to having bad NAND blocks:

Copy of the panic backtrace would be interesting if you can get ahold of

figure it out.

The kernel image itself is CRC-checked by U-Boot before it is run.  So
it is doubtful we can say that kernel is corrupted by bad NAND.

This can be to do with the host PC USB device, cables, stack as well as
Freerunner.  Are there any other exotic variations of that in your host

That's what I call USB networking being there from my POV :-)  There is
some routing or IP allocation issue on Freerunner side that I read other

Is there some way you can do

Re: FreeRunner is completely dead

2008-08-10 Thread Andy Green
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

Somebody in the thread at some point said:
| Hi.
|
| I've been using my FreeRunner quite a lot since I got it and yesterday
| evening I played with USB host mode (the goal was to use a normal USB
| keyboard in the terminal). However, I reported my progress and then went
| to bed. [0]
|
| This morning when I got back to my computer, the FreeRunner's screen was
| black as is expected - the battery would be drained as it has been
| several nights/mornings before. But, today I just can't get it to boot
| anymore. The only difference from all other times (that I can think of)
| is that I left it in USB host mode.
|
| By now I've had it plugged into the wall charger that came with the
| phone for more than one hour, but to no avail - it still won't boot. :(
|
|
| Any tip, idea on what I should do or test?

This is a known issue... basically Freerunner cannot boot successfully
without the battery to help it along.  If the battery is dead, then it
won't succeed to boot.

What's actually happening is that there is a large instantaneous demand
for power, AKA inrush current, this causes the USB input to enter
current limit, the voltage drops on the Freerunner side, boot fails, it
restarts and so on.

It won't start to charge either until this early part of the startup
action completes successfully.

You can work around it with another battery that has charge; externally
charging you battery with external charger; or the not recommended but
I did it and there was no smoke in my case provide external 5V briefly
to battery + terminal (making sure they share 0V too) briefly until it
starts.  After that, if it stays awake it should charge OK.

Thanks for the lesson Tony :-)  I saw it does have some charging

as GTA02.  But there is no VB_SYS.

Jay what I would do (but you have to factor in I do blow things up
sometimes) is remove the battery, cut up a USB cable, stick the A end in
my laptop and hold the black wire to 0V pin of battery connector, red
one to +ve pin of battery connector and see what happened when I powered
on.  pcf50633 is good for 6V abs max and USB is 5V.  If you think it is
dead already then this can only do nothing; make it deader; or send some

This is my fault, I broke it in the kernel yesterday.  It'll be fixed in
kernel update in the next couple of days.

For charging in suspend, yes, the charger in PMU is autonomous.  If you
change plugged state of USB cable, it will wake, otherwise it will stay
in charging readiness state that it was in before suspend during suspend.

During suspend same as during wake, separate charging state machine in
the PMU determines when charging starts and finishes, so it is pretty
unaffected by suspend action.

standalone with the moredrivers config.

~ - git clone git://git.openmoko.org/git/kernel.git linux-2.6
~ - git checkout origin/stable
~ - edit ./build to point to your compiler path

That may not be the cause if you have a U-Boot from a week or more ago.
~ It can knock out your USB functionality 50% of the time.  If that's the
case, just update U-Boot with DFU.

The issue with USB module should be resolved before yesterday in the
packaging, so the rootfs should have the modules, therefore I wonder if
it is the above.

Otherwise, this kernel (eventually intended to be a recovery / backup
kernel) has more modules built-in, including USB over Ethernet: you can
DFU it in and it will get you going again.

You need to install tslib and its utilities (no idea what package, but

Re: Can't Boot Qtopia from microSD

Somebody in the thread at some point said:

| I changed the kernel name based on something I read stating it had to be
| called uImage.bin (is that wrong?)

It needs to match whatever you called it on the kernel commandline in
U-Boot, our ones use uImage.bin.

| 3. I upgraded my NAND U-boot to a post-July 23 version. I think I have
| the August 5 version now.

Great.

| 4. I edited by NAND U-boot menu to include:
| setenv menu_9 Boot from microSD part2 (ext2+ext2): setenv bootargs
| \${bootargs_base} rootfstype=ext2 root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 rootdelay=5
| \${mtdparts} ro\; mmcinit\; ext2load mmc 1 0x3200
| \${sd_image_name}\; bootm 0x3200

Ignoring the menu stuff for a moment, here is a canned one liner to do
something like what you want

setenv bootcmd  mmcinit \; ext2load mmc 2 0x3200 uImage.bin \;
setenv bootargs \${mtdparts} rootfstype=ext2 root=/dev/mmcblk0p2
console=ttySAC2,115200 loglevel=4 init=/sbin/init \; bootm 0x3200 ; boot

Notice on ext2load the first number is the partition index it should
use, counting from 1.

Yes, there is another way to get this issue unfortunately too.  We moved

commonly written around that folks should update their kernel by DFU.
This was never a good idea for a modular kernel (it does nothing to
update the modules) and now it's a really bad idea.

If you update your kernel by the packaging from inside the Freerunner it
won't make this problem as it updates the modules at the same time (now,
anyway, there were other problems with that method until recently).

If that's what's happened (try the Uboot update first though because
that fits the symptom as well) best plan is nuke these guys on your
device (kernel + matching rootfs) with dfu

http://buildhost.openmoko.org/releases/Freerunner/

About the patchlevel, the git hash in the filename lets you check here

and find out what patches are in and out.  In the stable trees (although
this isn't true for stable-2.6.26 yet) we only add patches, so if you
hover on each patch near the top (and look at the URL in your browser
status bar) you can find the matching git hash for the patch that was at
the top when the package was made.  Right now the topmost patch in git
is 64eb10cab80... mentioned in the package, so you know you have all the
