- [11:35:31] <desrt>
having some issues here... anybody know what it means if the status light comes on green and only goes out momentarily when the power switch is depressed?
- [11:35:36] <desrt>
(also: no serial console output)
- [11:36:00] <desrt>
fwiw, we're trying to usb-power the thing
- [11:36:20] <woglinde>
hm maybee its the same as beagle
- [11:36:33] <woglinde>
when kernel is running one led is on the other is heartbeat blinking
- [11:37:41] <desrt>
just seems odd that we can't get the LED to go out (except for a moment) by using the power switch
- [11:38:02] * ogra_ac (~ogra@p4FDA7941.dip.t-dialin.net) has joined #pandaboard
- [11:38:10] <desrt>
ogra_ac: hi hi
- [11:38:17] <ogra_ac>
hey desrt !
- [11:38:25] <ceyusa>
we're expecting to see at least the uboot in the serial console
- [11:38:33] * desrt is hanging out at the igalia offices before the GTK hackfest, playing with a panda
- [11:38:42] <ogra_ac>
cool !
- [11:38:48] <desrt>
not so cool. it won't boot :p
- [11:38:50] <ogra_ac>
will you be at uds ?
- [11:38:53] <desrt>
ya. of course.
- [11:39:00] <desrt>
with codethink shirts in tow :)
- [11:39:05] <ogra_ac>
using the ubuntu image ?
- [11:39:13] <desrt>
ya. the one on the omap wiki for panda
- [11:39:19] <desrt>
followed the ubuntu install guide exactly, more or less
- [11:39:24] <ogra_ac>
omap wiki ?
- [11:39:28] <desrt>
except that we're using usb power instead of the external source
- [11:39:30] <ceyusa>
omappedia
- [11:39:33] <ogra_ac>
ah
- [11:39:34] <desrt>
http://omappedia.org/wiki/PandaBoard
- [11:39:38] <desrt>
ya. what he said. :)
- [11:39:40] <ogra_ac>
i hope that links to the right one
- [11:39:44] <desrt>
<--- ceyusa is over there
- [11:39:55] <ogra_ac>
i was guessing that much
- [11:39:57] <desrt>
i don't think it's an issue. we can't even see uboot :(
- [11:40:19] <desrt>
bad serial cable, maybe :/
- [11:40:40] <ogra_ac>
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-netbook/ports/releases/10.10/release/ubuntu-netbook-10.10-preinstalled-netbook-armel+omap4.img.gz
- [11:40:49] <ogra_ac>
thats the one you use ?
- [11:41:36] <desrt>
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-netbook/ports/releases/10.10/release/ubuntu-netbook-10.10-preinstalled-netbook-armel+omap4.img.gz
- [11:41:42] <desrt>
looks the same, yup
- [11:41:44] <ogra_ac>
u-boot should be visible, yes, the image itself doesnt add serial support though
- [11:42:19] <desrt>
does the board ship with uboot on the internal flash or is the SD card required to see anything at all?
- [11:42:48] * PaulW_cdot (~paul@142.204.133.124) Quit (Ping timeout: 240 seconds)
- [11:42:58] <ogra_ac>
sd
- [11:43:08] <ogra_ac>
there is no nand
- [11:43:16] <ogra_ac>
you followed https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ARM/OMAPMaverickInstall ?
- [11:43:41] <desrt>
no. i followed this one: http://omappedia.org/wiki/Ubuntu_Pre-built_Binaries_Guide
- [11:43:51] <ogra_ac>
hmm
- [11:43:54] * ogra_ac looks
- [11:44:08] <ogra_ac>
its annoying that they seem to have duplicated everything
- [11:44:10] <desrt>
but i guess up to the point that i'm at (download image, decompress, write to SD card, try to boot) they're the same
- [11:44:16] <ogra_ac>
and even linked wrongly in some places
- [11:45:07] <desrt>
having it all on 20 separate pages was a nice touch, too :)
- [11:45:12] <ogra_ac>
well, the zcat line is the same at least
- [11:45:30] <desrt>
i did gzip -d then dd. i can't imagine it resulted in anything different happening.
- [11:45:47] <ogra_ac>
right, its the same, just wastes a lot of diskspace
- [11:46:05] <desrt>
we're trying another serial cable
- [11:46:31] <ogra_ac>
well, even without serial you should see the heartbeat after 15-20sec
- [11:46:40] <ogra_ac>
on the left led
- [11:47:57] * ian_brasil_ (~ian_brasi@201-75-53-3-ma.cpe.vivax.com.br) has joined #pandaboard
- [11:47:59] <desrt>
the image autoboots?
- [11:49:01] <ogra_ac>
yes
- [11:49:41] <desrt>
okay. tried two serial cables, two laptops, two power sources
- [11:49:47] <desrt>
only thing left to try is a different SD card
- [11:50:15] <ogra_ac>
you will also need a hdmi monitor, mouse and kbd
- [11:50:23] <desrt>
ya. we got those
- [11:50:27] <desrt>
not plugged in right now tho
- [11:50:43] <ogra_ac>
i'm not sure powering via usb works properly though
- [11:50:54] <desrt>
i'm wondering if that's what our issue is...
- [11:50:59] <ogra_ac>
might not get you enough power
- [11:51:08] <desrt>
it would explain the odd behaviour i'm seeing with this green led
- [11:51:18] <desrt>
it sort of screams 'not enough power' to me, to be honest
- [11:51:22] <ogra_ac>
what do you see there ?
- [11:51:28] <desrt>
the green led come son
- [11:51:34] <ogra_ac>
thats good
- [11:51:34] <desrt>
and when i press the power switch it goes off
- [11:51:41] <desrt>
but as soon as i release the power switch, it's back on again
- [11:51:48] <ogra_ac>
because it powers on by default ;)
- [11:51:54] <desrt>
which is not what i would expect
- [11:51:55] <ogra_ac>
you power it off when pressing power
- [11:52:10] <desrt>
oh. that's expected?
- [11:52:20] <ogra_ac>
just dont touch anything
- [11:52:27] <ogra_ac>
power on and wait
- [11:52:35] <desrt>
ya. we only started poking at things when nothing else was happening :)
- [11:55:15] <desrt>
it should boot OK without the mouse/keyboard/monitor, right?
- [11:55:18] <ogra_ac>
do you know btw which board revision you have ?
- [11:55:42] <ogra_ac>
yes, if its newer than a 2.0 6-layer board
- [11:56:07] <desrt>
how do i tell?
- [11:56:08] <ceyusa>
ogra_ac: EA1
- [11:56:10] * PaulW_cdot (~paul@142.204.133.124) has joined #pandaboard
- [11:56:21] <ogra_ac>
EA1 is a 2.1 board, thats fine
- [11:57:03] <ogra_ac>
(the others were pre-production)
- [11:57:32] * desrt flashes second copy of the image to a very slow sd card.....
- [11:57:38] <desrt>
thanks for all the help, btw
- [11:57:48] <ogra_ac>
welcome :)
- [11:58:13] <ogra_ac>
you are lucky i'm not permanently in #pandaboard ... at least not with this nick
- [11:58:52] <ogra_ac>
#ubuntu-arm is in my autojoin for all accounts though
- [12:01:04] <desrt>
nice plug :)
- [12:01:35] <ogra_ac>
:)
- [12:03:34] <desrt>
well
- [12:03:43] <desrt>
i applied for the dev programme for pandaboard yesterday
- [12:03:54] <desrt>
so depending on how that works out, you may be seeing me there more often :)
- [12:04:06] <ogra_ac>
heh
- [12:04:21] <ogra_ac>
for natty we plan to get all TI packages into the archive by default
- [12:04:42] <desrt>
the 3D drivers, etc?
- [12:04:44] <ogra_ac>
(currently you need to use the PPA for the SGX packages etc)
- [12:04:48] <ogra_ac>
yeah
- [12:04:49] <desrt>
right
- [12:04:54] <desrt>
shame about the lack of drivers :(
- [12:05:01] <ogra_ac>
lack ?
- [12:05:06] <ogra_ac>
they are all there
- [12:05:07] <desrt>
lack of free drivers, i mean
- [12:05:23] <ogra_ac>
all HW on the board is fully supported once you enable the PPA
- [12:05:54] <ogra_ac>
well, as free as nivida or fglrx drivers at least
- [12:06:08] <desrt>
i heard some mention of instability with 1GB memory enabled?
- [12:06:15] <ogra_ac>
yes
- [12:06:35] <ogra_ac>
thats why the image only enables 750M
- [12:06:55] <ogra_ac>
that has been tested and proven to be stable
- [12:07:17] <ogra_ac>
TI is working on it, there will likely be a kernel SRU
- [12:07:29] <desrt>
hmm. still no love with the new SD :(
- [12:07:39] <ogra_ac>
get a proper power supply
- [12:07:45] <desrt>
ya. agreed.
- [12:07:48] <ogra_ac>
i really think thats your issue
- [12:08:07] <desrt>
the user docs are quite insistent that it should work with usb power
- [12:08:12] <ogra_ac>
all HW on the board is enabbled by default ... including WLAN and BT
- [12:08:17] <desrt>
nod.
- [12:08:21] <armin76>
didn't know the pandaboard was able to work over usb too
- [12:08:55] <armin76>
ogra_ac: btw, drivers like nvidia: you mean you'll be able to build them against your xorg-server?
- [12:09:05] <armin76>
haven't looked at it
- [12:09:13] <ogra_ac>
armin76, they use dkms by default
- [12:09:25] <ogra_ac>
as the omap3 ones we have in multiverse
- [12:09:53] * desrt is trying to decide if this USB hub's power source is regulated or not
- [12:10:14] <ogra_ac>
did you try to power from your laptop directly ?
- [12:10:18] <desrt>
yes
- [12:10:21] <desrt>
and also from a powered hub
- [12:12:02] <armin76>
desrt: whats your project?
- [12:12:25] <desrt>
i applied for existing projects
- [12:12:37] <desrt>
i just want it to do regression and new-features testing of glib/gtk
- [12:13:04] <armin76>
ah, ok, thanks :)
- [12:18:38] <desrt>
turns out our wallwart is regulated
- [12:19:12] <desrt>
or at least i'm guessing it is based on the fact that the usb hub we have wires the DC in directly to the power wires on the USB ports going out
- [12:31:17] <desrt>
external power supply -> no help :(
- [12:32:05] <ceyusa>
:'(
- [12:32:05] <desrt>
exactly the same behaviour with the green LED
- [12:35:26] * ogra_ac (~ogra@p4FDA7941.dip.t-dialin.net) Quit (Read error: No route to host)
- [12:36:37] <ceyusa>
so no nand neither nor flash mems in the pandaboard?
- [12:37:10] * ogra_ac (~ogra@p4FDA7941.dip.t-dialin.net) has joined #pandaboard
- [12:37:42] <ceyusa>
ogra_ac: there is no nand neither nor flash mems in the pandaboard? all is loaded from sd?
- [12:37:56] <ogra_ac>
yes
- [12:38:03] <woglinde>
desrt so you maybee got a faulty board?
- [12:39:11] <ogra_ac>
woglinde, well, did you ever see a panda run from USB power ?
- [12:39:15] * ogra_ac didnt
- [12:39:51] <ogra_ac>
and i'm sure nobody in ubuntu tested that ... TI might have though
- [12:40:44] <woglinde>
ogra hm seems you didnt read the last post
- [12:40:58] <woglinde>
he stated its same with external power
- [12:41:00] <ogra_ac>
woglinde, no, i was off
- [12:41:04] <ogra_ac>
ah
- [12:41:16] * ogra_ac was testing kexec on a tegra
- [12:41:26] <woglinde>
o.O?
- [12:41:45] <ogra_ac>
which surprisingly didnt work :)
- [12:41:45] <woglinde>
I always thought tegra was graphic expansion

http://www.engadget.com/2010/09/06/toshiba-ac100-android-smartbook-hits-the-united-kingdom/
- [12:44:45] <woglinde>
hm how much it costs in uk?
- [12:45:04] <ogra_ac>
no idea, i bought mine in germany ;)
- [12:45:19] <woglinde>
lol
- [12:45:21] <woglinde>
okay
- [12:45:23] <ogra_ac>
you should ask in #ac100
- [12:45:31] <ogra_ac>
there are surely some brits
- [12:45:51] <ogra_ac>
(and i dont want to run an offtopic conversation in the panda channel)
- [12:45:57] <woglinde>
no I from germany
- [12:46:04] <ogra_ac>
oh, ok
- [12:46:18] <ogra_ac>
mediamarkt sells it
- [12:46:35] <woglinde>
hm
- [12:46:48] <ogra_ac>
anyway, offtopic for here
- [12:47:14] * ogra_ac really doesnt want to promote ac100 in the panda channel :)
- [12:48:14] <koen>
does it have neon?
- [12:49:06] <ogra_ac>
koen, as much neon as all other tegras ;)
- [12:49:14] <ogra_ac>
(read: no it doesnt)
- [12:50:32] <desrt>
is it common/possible that the board is just defective?
- [12:50:48] <ogra_ac>
not common but surely possible
- [12:51:28] * desrt starts to believe
- [12:51:37] <woglinde>
hm because there is no nand mlo is running from SD?
- [12:51:43] <ogra_ac>
yes
- [12:51:46] <woglinde>
okay
- [12:51:59] <woglinde>
so not the problem starting without bootloader
- [12:53:45] <ogra_ac>
the ubuntu images come with a bootloader partition by default, as long as desrt followed the install instructions all should be fine
- [12:54:20] <ogra_ac>
desrt, you surely dd'ed to the device ? not a partition, right ?
- [12:54:43] <ogra_ac>
(or zcat'ed or whateevr you used)
- [12:55:23] <desrt>
ya. of course
- [12:55:32] <ogra_ac>
right, just wanted to make sure
- [12:55:34] <desrt>
i was even able to see the SD card on my laptop later as two separate partitions
- [12:55:39] <ogra_ac>
ok
- [12:55:45] <desrt>
vfat for the first one containing MLO, uboot.bin, boot script, uimage and initrd
- [12:55:46] <ogra_ac>
thats fine then
- [12:55:52] <ogra_ac>
right
- [12:56:09] <desrt>
i also tried copying the mlo/uboot/etc from the TI image to the vfat partition
- [12:56:12] <desrt>
to see if it worked
- [12:56:20] <ogra_ac>
just want to make sure everything is correct
- [12:56:29] <ogra_ac>
on the SW side
- [12:57:10] <desrt>
i tested the serial cable by shorting the rx and tx pins
- [12:57:20] <desrt>
i was able to see my own echo
- [12:57:27] <ogra_ac>
k
- [12:57:53] <desrt>
had it running on USB power from laptop, USB power from powered hub and external 5vdc 1A power supply
- [12:57:59] <desrt>
tested two different SD cards
- [12:58:04] <desrt>
*shrug*
- [12:58:14] <koen>
tried mkcard.sh?
- [12:58:24] <desrt>
is that the 'dangerous' one? :)
- [12:58:28] <armin76>
try android :)
- [12:58:48] <ogra_ac>
desrt, there is nothing dangerous in it ;)
- [12:58:51] <koen>
desrt: have a look for yourself: http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/demo/pandaboard/mkcard.txt
- [12:59:16] <ogra_ac>
but it just creates the same setup for the vfat thats used in ubuntu
- [13:00:28] <koen>
for some weird reason dd images don't always work
- [13:00:44] <desrt>
trying again with the boot files from android...
- [13:01:08] <ogra_ac>
yeah, sometimes it helps to zero out the card first
- [13:01:53] <desrt>
srsly? that makes a difference?
- [13:02:27] <ogra_ac>
i heard so, i didnt have to do it myself yet
- [13:02:39] <desrt>
seems a little like an old wives tale :)
- [13:02:45] <ogra_ac>
heh
- [13:03:02] <ogra_ac>
well, i have seen people that had CRC errors in u-boot when loading the kernel
- [13:03:17] <ogra_ac>
zeroing out the card and newly dd'ing helped
- [13:03:44] <ogra_ac>
might not be related to the zeroing but more to the new dd ... who know
- [13:03:46] <ogra_ac>
s
- [13:03:46] * desrt is willing to try anything at this point :)
- [13:04:18] <desrt>
are there any helpful verses we can chant while writing the image? ;)
- [13:04:33] <desrt>
ogra_ac: ya. that seems pretty reasonable
- [13:04:39] <desrt>
like if the first time there is a small error introduced
- [13:04:47] <ogra_ac>
right
- [13:05:02] <woglinde>
hm
- [13:05:14] <woglinde>
maybee I will look into our mediamarkt today
- [13:05:26] <ogra_ac>
woglinde, come over to ac100 :)
- [13:05:35] <ogra_ac>
#ac100 that is
- [13:08:37] <desrt>
so i guess 'MLO' is hardcoded into the chip as the first thing it looks for
- [13:08:51] <desrt>
and the 'MLO' on these things is just a stage-1 that loads up uboot?
- [13:08:59] <ogra_ac>
right
- [13:09:24] <desrt>
something different is happening now
- [13:09:37] <woglinde>
uh
- [13:09:44] <woglinde>
hopefully no smoke
- [13:09:47] <desrt>
i tried the mkcard
- [13:09:58] <desrt>
now the one green light comes on (same as before)
- [13:10:07] <desrt>
then the second light comes on briefly before both lights go out
- [13:10:12] <woglinde>
look at serial consile
- [13:10:16] <desrt>
nothing printed
- [13:10:16] <ogra_ac>
right
- [13:10:20] <desrt>
(still...)
- [13:10:20] <woglinde>
hm ugh
- [13:10:35] <ogra_ac>
then i'd really balme HW now
- [13:10:39] <ogra_ac>
*blame
- [13:10:51] <ogra_ac>
you should at least see a line talking about x-loader
- [13:11:00] <desrt>
ya. nada.
- [13:11:14] <ogra_ac>
bring it to UDS
- [13:11:20] <desrt>
is the board smart enough to say at least *something* over serial even if the SD side is totally messed?
- [13:11:24] <desrt>
it's not mine
- [13:11:25] <desrt>
it belongs to igalia
- [13:11:31] <ogra_ac>
ah, bad
- [13:11:52] <ogra_ac>
no, it will only print output once MLO is loaded
- [13:12:13] <woglinde>
hm I have another idea
- [13:12:16] <ogra_ac>
would be nice if the romcode would print something like on the beagle
- [13:12:17] <desrt>
so the fact that putting a different image on it causes it to behave differently has me curious
- [13:12:25] <woglinde>
but I think its not yet there for omap4
- [13:12:40] <woglinde>
on ompa3 you can load a bootloader via serial console
- [13:12:54] <ogra_ac>
you can do that on panda too
- [13:12:59] <ogra_ac>
but needs some soldering
- [13:13:10] <woglinde>
or was it usb
- [13:13:54] <ogra_ac>
i think you need to remove some resistors or add a bridge or some such for pulling bootloader from serial
- [13:14:12] <ceyusa>
\o/
- [13:14:13] * ogra_ac forgot, someone at TI told me months agi
- [13:14:14] <desrt>
looks like your idea about USB power may have been true
- [13:14:17] <desrt>
we're getting something now
- [13:14:19] <ogra_ac>
*ago
- [13:14:28] <desrt>
with the external supply
- [13:14:29] <woglinde>
*sigh*
- [13:14:37] <desrt>
but it's still pretty messed up
- [13:14:48] <woglinde>
we already thought your using external the whole time now
- [13:15:23] <ogra_ac>
messed up in what way ?
- [13:15:34] <woglinde>
wrong settings of serial?
- [13:15:36] <desrt>
it spews a tiny bit of output then shutsdown
- [13:15:42] <ogra_ac>
ah
- [13:15:42] <desrt>
nah. readable text
- [13:15:52] <woglinde>
o.O?
- [13:16:02] <ogra_ac>
can you get another SD somewhere ?
- [13:16:38] <ogra_ac>
though we tried about 40 different models during ubuntu development ...
- [13:16:41] <ogra_ac>
but who knows
- [13:17:02] <desrt>
we have two cards we are trying
- [13:17:14] <woglinde>
orga_ac would be intressting what he now get on the console
- [13:17:21] <ogra_ac>
yeah, indeed
- [13:18:22] <desrt>
we have a kernel booting now
- [13:18:25] <desrt>
no idea what changed here
- [13:18:39] <desrt>
well, other than the fact that we used the script
- [13:18:41] <woglinde>
lol
- [13:18:44] <desrt>
instead of going with a prebuilt image
- [13:18:47] <ogra_ac>
weird
- [13:19:08] <desrt>
i'm going to see if i can copy the bits of the ubuntu image into my own partitions here
- [13:22:50] <desrt>
ubuntu kernel boots
- [13:22:58] <desrt>
yeehah
- [13:23:37] <desrt>
so it looks like the partition table was to blame
- [13:25:47] <ogra_ac>
very weird
- [13:26:03] <woglinde>
hm
- [13:26:03] <ogra_ac>
what make/model is your card ?
- [13:26:15] <desrt>
we have two here
- [13:26:23] <desrt>
'allround' is one
- [13:26:32] <desrt>
and the other is an adaptor to a microsd
- [13:26:34] <ogra_ac>
heh, never heard that
- [13:26:39] <desrt>
both the adaptor and the card are kingston
- [13:26:57] <ogra_ac>
hmm, i have tested with various kingston cards
- [13:27:03] <woglinde>
hm so maybee your dd is doing something wrong
- [13:27:10] <ogra_ac>
yeah
- [13:27:18] <woglinde>
as koen stated
- [13:27:26] <ogra_ac>
thats why we changed the instructions to use zcat
- [13:27:27] <desrt>
maybe we should go out and try a reputable card without an adaptor
- [13:27:42] <desrt>
srsly?
- [13:27:46] <ogra_ac>
no
- [13:27:55] * desrt perplexed
- [13:27:58] <ogra_ac>
userfriendlyness was the reason
- [13:27:59] <woglinde>
why change now?
- [13:28:01] <woglinde>
its working
- [13:28:03] <desrt>
okay :)
- [13:28:10] <ceyusa>
ç
- [13:28:22] <ogra_ac>
gunzipping just wastes 2G on your laptop ;)
- [13:28:39] <ogra_ac>
and makes the process more compley
- [13:28:43] <ogra_ac>
*complex
- [13:29:00] <ogra_ac>
while zcat is a one liner
- [13:29:04] <desrt>
so one thing worth mentioning is that these are 2GB cards
- [13:29:16] <woglinde>
that shouldnt matter
- [13:29:16] <desrt>
the image fit fine
- [13:29:37] <desrt>
and the page i was using doesn't mention that 4GB is required
- [13:29:43] <ogra_ac>
desrt, ugh
- [13:29:45] <ogra_ac>
no
- [13:29:45] <desrt>
ogra_ac: but the page you posted says that it is
- [13:29:48] <ogra_ac>
that wont work
- [13:30:03] <ogra_ac>
2G is way to small
- [13:30:10] <ogra_ac>
it expands itself on first boot
- [13:30:20] <ogra_ac>
and creates a swap files
- [13:30:20] <desrt>
ya.. we didn't even get to that point, though :)
- [13:30:30] <ogra_ac>
you need at least 4G
- [13:30:31] <woglinde>
orga_ac ieeks swap
- [13:30:42] <ogra_ac>
woglinde, ??
- [13:30:48] <woglinde>
swap on sd card
- [13:30:57] <ogra_ac>
its a swapfile on top of a filesystem
- [13:31:02] <ogra_ac>
nothing bad about that
- [13:31:15] <ogra_ac>
just that you have a safety net
- [13:31:16] <desrt>
okay. i'm going to add a big note to the omappedia page that the card needs to be at least 4GB
- [13:31:16] <woglinde>
read write cycles
- [13:31:24] <ogra_ac>
swappiness is set to 0
- [13:31:37] <woglinde>
than why swap at all?
- [13:31:43] <ogra_ac>
OOM prevention
- [13:31:57] <woglinde>
lol
- [13:32:13] <ogra_ac>
if you run out of RAM swap is still helpful
- [13:32:38] <desrt>
we're gonna go buy a bigger card (or two)
- [13:32:47] <woglinde>
or use oe
- [13:32:55] <woglinde>
which dont needs 4 gig
- [13:33:07] * desrt is diehard ubuntu :)
- [13:33:12] <ogra_ac>
:)
- [13:33:27] <woglinde>
jesus
- [13:34:07] <ogra_ac>
ubuntu runs just fine on the panda
- [13:34:21] <ogra_ac>
faster than on many ATOM cpus i have seen
- [13:36:17] <desrt>
okay
- [13:36:20] <desrt>
we are off to the store
- [13:36:21] <desrt>
back in a bit
- [13:54:30] * davidc__ (~davidc__@S0106000f662a10a4.vc.shawcable.net) Quit (Quit: davidc__)
- [13:56:31] <desrt>
okay. got a 8GB and a 4GB to test
- [13:57:06] <ogra_ac>
try with the zcat this time :)
- [13:57:53] <desrt>
too late :p
- [13:58:43] <ogra_ac>
heh
- [14:03:04] * jonpry (~jonpry@63.245.31.4) has joined #pandaboard
- [14:03:35] <desrt>
so i think we isolated the two issues that were causing us problems
- [14:03:49] <desrt>
first is that the ubuntu images don't work for us (presumably because we were using 2GB cards)
- [14:04:09] <desrt>
second is that the board works on USB power, but it seems that the serial port is unpowered in that case
- [14:07:15] <ogra_ac>
ah
- [14:08:25] <woglinde>
intressting
- [14:08:43] <desrt>
i don't know if it's just not wired up or if it's underpowered or what
- [14:09:33] <desrt>
got framebuffer console up on hdmi
- [14:09:44] <desrt>
image works great with 8GB card, of course
- [14:09:51] <ogra_ac>
phew
- [14:09:52] <desrt>
and it's doing the resize now
- [14:10:00] <ogra_ac>
resize is fast ...
- [14:10:09] <desrt>
it is true
- [14:10:10] <ogra_ac>
get some coffee for the swap creation bit
- [14:10:33] <desrt>
btrfs?
- [14:10:38] <ogra_ac>
takes 2-3min ... we decided very late to add it, natty will have a swapfile inside the image
- [14:10:43] <ogra_ac>
no, ext3
- [14:10:53] <desrt>
ah. first kernel message is the btrfs driver loading
- [14:11:03] <ogra_ac>
yeah, thats comes from the distro
- [14:11:15] <desrt>
we're going to get coffee :)

x is messed
- [14:21:01] <ogra_ac>
messed in what way ?
- [14:21:10] <desrt>
we have 3 copies of the screen
- [14:21:21] <ogra_ac>
what monitor ?
- [14:21:23] <desrt>
stacked beside each other horizontally
- [14:21:26] <desrt>
at the top of the monitor
- [14:21:29] <ceyusa>
hdmi
- [14:21:35] <ogra_ac>
model/make
- [14:21:37] <desrt>
LG hdmi "full HD" monitor
- [14:21:51] <ceyusa>
flatron w22561VP
- [14:21:51] <ogra_ac>
hmm, i thought LGs were fixed
- [14:22:11] <ogra_ac>
there are still some monitors that report their EDID wrong
- [14:22:28] <ogra_ac>
for most there are workarounds in the kernel now
- [14:22:31] <desrt>
ya. that was my first guess
- [14:23:18] <ogra_ac>
try booting with it plugged out, the screen should default to 640x480 at least
- [14:23:48] <ogra_ac>
and file a bug :)
- [14:24:10] * robclark (~robclark@nat/ti/x-xclzuxirnqmgsiqs) has joined #pandaboard

- [14:24:15] <ogra_ac>
i know TI is after finding all monitors that are still broken with the driver
- [14:24:18] <desrt>
trying to complee the welcome screen :)
- [14:24:27] <ogra_ac>
oh, and there joins the man that might be able to help you
- [14:24:55] <ogra_ac>
robclark, shouldnt LG monitors work fine now ?
- [14:25:22] <woglinde>
.o(whats the problem with lg monitors)
- [14:25:24] <robclark>
ogra_ac: hypothetically
- [14:25:28] <ogra_ac>
lol
- [14:25:33] <ceyusa>
:)
- [14:25:47] <ogra_ac>
woglinde, reporting their EDID wrongly
- [14:25:58] <robclark>
at least some LG monitors work properly now ;-)
- [14:26:01] <ogra_ac>
the driver picks its settings from EDID data on boot
- [14:26:06] <woglinde>
hm but thats not lg monitors only
- [14:26:08] <ceyusa>
btw robclark, we're playing with the pandaboard right now!! \o/
- [14:26:18] <robclark>
ceyusa: nice :-)
- [14:26:33] <ogra_ac>
woglinde, indeed
- [14:26:34] <desrt>
robclark: pick me!!
- [14:28:15] <robclark>
anyways.. for anyone having trouble w/ monitor, if you can login to board somehow (ethernet or UART), then make copy of /sys/devices/omapdss/display0/edid ..
- [14:28:27] <robclark>
hmm.. I guess we need somewhere to attach it..
- [14:28:34] <ogra_ac>
a bug :)
- [14:28:40] <desrt>
do i need to have booted with the monitor installed in order to do that?
- [14:28:49] <ogra_ac>
file a bug against linux-ti-omap4 and attach it
- [14:28:55] <robclark>
yeah, launchpad would be fine
- [14:28:55] <desrt>
or can i boot unplugged then plug the monitor and copy the file?
- [14:29:09] <robclark>
you can still boot w/ monitor attached..
- [14:29:09] <ogra_ac>
unplugged should work
- [14:29:17] <robclark>
(hypothetically)
- [14:29:27] <robclark>
although I missed the description of what the problem was
- [14:29:27] <desrt>
ogra says we should try unplugged so we can see :)
- [14:29:36] <robclark>
either way should work
- [14:29:40] <desrt>
k
- [14:29:46] <ogra_ac>
robclark, three desktops on the screen
- [14:30:00] <robclark>
oh, ok..
- [14:30:11] <robclark>
restart X somehow and it will be fine
- [14:30:11] <ogra_ac>
i think i saw the same on cooloneys screen in dallas
- [14:30:12] <desrt>
it looks like every 3rd scanline is going to each of the images
- [14:30:27] <ogra_ac>
though that was an HP
- [14:30:32] <ogra_ac>
iirc
- [14:30:34] <robclark>
the issue is that X is already started with the incorrect resolution by the time the EDID is read
- [14:30:45] * davidc__ (~davidc__@S0106000f662a10a4.vc.shawcable.net) has joined #pandaboard
- [14:30:49] <robclark>
if you have some way to run 'sudo service gdm restart' then it should be fine
- [14:30:57] <desrt>
ah. cook.
- [14:30:59] <ogra_ac>
oh, so a simple service gdm restart on cmdline should do
- [14:31:01] <desrt>
also, cool
- [14:31:14] <woglinde>
lol
- [14:31:20] <desrt>
640x480 party time
- [14:31:32] <robclark>
the pvr_video (or xf86-video-fbdev) drivers don't yet support hotplug, so they don't know how to resize the framebuffer once the real resolution of the monitor is known
- [14:31:52] <desrt>
okay
- [14:32:04] <desrt>
so restarting the X server from my 640x480 world got me back to 3 images again
- [14:32:37] <woglinde>
Xorg.0.log?
- [14:32:53] <robclark>
hmm... can you run 'sudo fbset'? And see what resolution it *thinks* the screen is at..
- [14:33:01] * ogra_ac bets just adding a sleep to /etc/init/gdm.conf would help
- [14:33:07] <ogra_ac>
if its really a race
- [14:33:08] <robclark>
also.. parse-edid /sys/devices/omapdss/display0/edid
- [14:33:23] <robclark>
(if you don't have parse-edid, in ubuntu it is part of read-edid package)
- [14:33:29] <desrt>
lemme get network going. we don't have fbset installed here
- [14:33:39] <robclark>
ahh.. ok
- [14:34:10] <desrt>
going to do a set of updates too
- [14:34:36] <ogra_ac>
desrt, and enable uni/multiverse before clicking on the TI icon on the desktop ;)
- [14:34:50] <ogra_ac>
(fix is uploaded but not in yet)
- [14:35:55] <ogra_ac>
(same goes for sound support btw)
- [14:37:09] <desrt>
do the video drivers have xrandr rotation?
- [14:37:23] <ogra_ac>
not the framebuffer one
- [14:37:38] <ogra_ac>
not sure about the other one i still have to try it
- [14:37:59] <robclark>
I would expect even xf86-video-fbdev would work w/ rotation.. but it would be done in software (ie. slow)..
- [14:38:22] <ogra_ac>
i dont think it has xrandr support
- [14:38:47] <desrt>
so the framebuffer resolution looks fine
- [14:38:57] <robclark>
hmm... I've never tried it, but hypothetically it should be able to rotate as it copies from shadowfb to fb
- [14:38:57] <desrt>
and now the X server appears to be occupying the top-left 640x480 worth of it
- [14:39:19] <desrt>
fbset says we are in 640x480
- [14:39:25] <desrt>
which we are definitely not
- [14:39:26] <robclark>
(emphasis on the *hypothetically*)
- [14:39:27] <ogra_ac>
yes, but i dont think it even includes the xrandr headers at buildtime
- [14:39:39] <desrt>
but now that i mention it, the console also appears to only be occupying the top 640x480 of the monitor
- [14:39:42] <desrt>

robclark: xf86-video-fbdev doesn't do rotation
- [14:41:35] <koen>
robclark: it's even too stupid to resize after hw rotation
- [14:43:11] <robclark>
desrt: hmm.. ok.. if you edid /boot/boot.script, add to bootargs "omapdss.debug=y" (without the quotes), run flash-kernel, and reboot.. and then you should get some debug info that would be useful on the UART console..
- [14:43:33] <robclark>
ogra_ac: (not sure if there are any other instructions needed to get debug on UART.. maybe some console=... bootargs)
- [14:44:00] <robclark>
desrt: 640x480 is the safe fallback the driver chooses if it can't find any good resolution in the EDID
- [14:44:03] <ogra_ac>
drop quiet and splash should help
- [14:44:30] <desrt>
http://fpaste.org/iyRJ/
- [14:45:07] <robclark>
koen: I seem to remember that the xf86-video-fbdev driver had some code in it for rotation.... now whether that *works* or not is another story.. but it's also entirely possible that I'm miss-remembering that
- [14:45:19] <robclark>
but in general, it isn't a very clever driver
- [14:46:49] <koen>
kdrive had
- [14:47:15] <desrt>
ogra_ac: does that look sane?
- [14:47:24] <ogra_ac>
to me it does
- [14:47:39] <robclark>
desrt: I seem to recall that -H and or -V sync was not handled properly by the hdmi driver yet.. but the other one should maybe work if the pixel clock isn't too much..
- [14:47:55] <robclark>
the boot log with omapdss.debug=y would be pretty helpful
- [14:48:26] <ogra_ac>
if you dont want to drop quiet and splash its stoed in /var/log/dmesg btw
- [14:48:28] <robclark>
(although please do attach to a bug on launchpad, or somewhere... since I'm away from the code and my board at the moment so I'll need to look at it later)
- [14:49:23] <desrt>
okay. i'll open a bug and attach that with the dmesg from a debug-enabled boot
- [14:49:32] <robclark>
thx
- [14:50:32] <robclark>
ogra_ac: could you add myself and mythripk in CC on the bug?

in a booted system, edit /boot/boot.script
- [14:53:14] <robclark>
desrt: if you look in /boot/boot.script, you'll see the u-boot environment.. in the line for bootargs, add omapdss.debug=y and remove quite and splash

ah. gotcha.

it's very odd
- [14:57:23] <desrt>
switching between console and X results in different things happening
- [14:57:28] <desrt>
first time, the console is very difficult to read
- [14:57:39] <desrt>
then it starts working a bit better, doing one of two things
- [14:57:48] <desrt>
either filling the screen properly or filling the top part of it only
- [14:57:50] <desrt>
very odd...

- [15:00:10] <robclark>
hmm.. switching console <-> X shouldn't really be causing EDID to re-read or anything like that, I don't think
- [15:00:48] <robclark>
desrt: can you shutdown X (sudo service gdm stop), and then unplug monitor, replug monitor, and see how console comes up?
- [15:00:58] <robclark>
then if console comes up ok, then start X
- [15:01:29] * robclark wants to take X out of the equation if there is something funny going on timing-wise.. because consolefb driver handles resizing better than X at this point

- [15:06:45] <ceyusa>
hahaha
- [15:07:06] <robclark>
ceyusa / desrt: can you just shutdown X and go back to console mode for a bit while we debug..
- [15:07:20] <robclark>
you can use something like top/htop, which would go full screen, to see how big the console actually is
- [15:07:27] <desrt>
ya. we've been doing most stuff from console
- [15:07:32] <robclark>
ok, good
- [15:07:40] <desrt>
we have full screen
- [15:07:44] <robclark>
I'll explain a bit how things are supposed to work
- [15:07:45] <desrt>
...sometimes :)
- [15:07:56] <desrt>
(we happen to have it now)
- [15:08:16] <robclark>
what happens is when omapfb first initializes, it reads the resolution from the driver/panel... but this is too early to have read the EDID yet..
- [15:08:22] <ceyusa>
btw, X is runinng
- [15:08:36] <robclark>
at some point later, once hdmi driver reads EDID, it re-configures it's resolution, and triggers a callback to omapfb
- [15:08:44] * mpanda (88b6021a@gateway/web/freenode/ip.136.182.2.26) has joined #pandaboard
- [15:08:54] <robclark>
omapfb update's it's mode table, which triggers a callback to fb clients like consolefb
- [15:09:00] <robclark>
which should trigger them to resize..
- [15:09:14] <desrt>
the console on tty1 looks absolutely perfect at the moment
- [15:09:16] <robclark>
but so far there is no notification to userspace, which is where the problems with xorg come in
- [15:09:41] <desrt>
okay. so let me explain the 3 situations we see in the console
- [15:09:49] <robclark>
in theory, restarting X should correct the situation.. I'm not entirely sure why that doesn't work.. there must be something funny going on in userspace
- [15:09:58] <desrt>
the first one (that we always get the first time we switch away from X) is that the font looks very odd
- [15:10:15] <desrt>
like it has every other scanline removed from it
- [15:10:20] <desrt>
and it's quite large
- [15:10:39] <desrt>
when typing in this mode, parts of the console that are further down the screen are not visible at all
- [15:10:51] <desrt>
switching back to X again and back to the console once more puts us in the 'everything looks great' mode
- [15:11:00] <desrt>
full console at proper resolution. very nice.
- [15:11:24] * mpanda (88b6021a@gateway/web/freenode/ip.136.182.2.26) Quit (Client Quit)
- [15:11:27] <desrt>
switching back to X at that point gives us X at 640x480 in the top-left corner of a screen that otherwise has the correct resolution
- [15:11:39] <robclark>
hmm, I think switching between consoles must be somehow triggering the hdmi driver to power off/on and re-read EDID
- [15:11:40] <desrt>
going back to the console, and killing X then resizes the console to be the 640x480 in the top left corner
- [15:11:59] <desrt>
ie: 'top' is now only filling about 1/6 of the physical screen
- [15:12:04] <robclark>
what happens if you avoid switching virtual consoles, and just stop and restart X while staying on same console?
- [15:12:21] <desrt>
starting/stopping X causes the VT to switch...
- [15:12:36] <robclark>
hmm.. ok..
- [15:12:40] <ogra_ac>
wow
- [15:13:05] <robclark>
well, fwiw, I think all the permutations of weirdness you see are just different combinations of what the resolution actually is vs what whoever is writing to the fb *think* it is..
- [15:13:06] <desrt>
or at least it does the first time
- [15:13:16] * ssvb (~ssvb@a88-114-220-213.elisa-laajakaista.fi) Quit (Quit: Leaving)
- [15:13:23] <desrt>
i agree
- [15:13:39] <desrt>
i have yet to see X working properly
- [15:13:52] <desrt>
even though the virtual console is sometimes right
- [15:14:26] <desrt>
okay. so tty1 is now 1/6 size
- [15:14:30] <desrt>
and tty2 is fully-sized
- [15:14:33] <robclark>
fwiw, just looking at your boot log.. it does look like the hdmi driver rejects the first 1920x1080 option, but seems ok with the 2nd..
- [15:14:36] <desrt>
very interesting :)
- [15:15:14] <robclark>
hmm: omapdss HDMI: fallback to VGA
- [15:16:07] <robclark>
desrt: if you're monitor has an option to not auto-scan for input, but just only select hdmi (instead of cycling between vga/dvi/hdmi/etc), you might want to try that
- [15:16:09] <desrt>
that was booting with the monitor plugged in, of course

- [15:20:29] <robclark>
hmm.. yeah, you are getting from the HDMI core, a phy connect itr, then immediately a disconnect, which triggers it to re-read EDID when it connects again..
- [15:20:36] <desrt>
i guess that will give us an X driver that works regardless of the confused fb
- [15:20:40] <robclark>
I'm not sure what causes this connect/disconnect sequence
- [15:21:02] <robclark>
desrt: this is with ubuntu kernel w/ omap4 stuff installed?
- [15:21:09] <desrt>
no

- [15:21:18] <robclark>
oh, ok..
- [15:21:22] <desrt>

ogra_ac: is the vanilla install still the ubuntu-omap kernel from dev.omapzoom.org tree?
- [15:22:16] <ogra_ac>
robclark, i think so, not sure if the audio fixes are in the omapzoom tree
- [15:22:27] <robclark>
there was an older version of driver which would power up/down the phy and cause these disconnect/reconnect issues, but I thought the ubuntu kernel should have the fix for it
- [15:22:36] <robclark>
audio fixes should be unrelated
- [15:22:38] <ogra_ac>
there was a set of 70 patches we added last week

oh, good fun

right

yeah, but fixes all audio issues ;)

ogra_ac: ok.. that looks like it should have the fixes to now power down/up the hdmi phy and cause unnecessary disconnect/reconnect interrupts..
- [15:33:37] <robclark>
maybe we should have some sort of short timeout.. if the phy reconnects within a certain short time, it couldn't be because the user unplugged/replugged the cable
- [15:33:52] <robclark>
and therefore don't try to re-read the EDID
- [15:34:20] * robclark wonders if some cables maybe have a bad connection, or something like this, and trigger the fast disconnect/reconnect?
- [15:34:22] <ogra_ac>
sounds reasonable
- [15:34:54] <robclark>
it does seem like a bit of a hack.. but I guess most users won't be able to unplug one monitor and plugin a different within say 50ms

ya....
- [17:08:51] <desrt>
so never ever try to USB power the board
- [17:08:59] <desrt>
it just doesn't work properly
- [17:14:48] <bpadalino>
2.5W isn't enough to bring it up at least with some subsystems turned off ?
- [17:15:13] <koen>
there's no working PM yet
- [17:18:34] <bpadalino>
ah, so it's all enabled right at bootup and no selectivity, huh ?
- [17:19:06] <koen>
sort off
- [17:19:17] <koen>
lots of stuff enabled, but more is getting powered up
- [17:19:21] <bpadalino>
interesting
- [17:19:22] <koen>
e.g. ducati and vpss
- [17:19:47] <_av500_>
that tiny m3 is eating all the powers?
- [17:20:11] <koen>
yes, all 20watts
- [17:20:16] <_av500_>
wow
- [17:20:50] <bpadalino>
how many processors sit on the jtag chain in the omap4 ?
- [17:23:11] <koen>
there are ti chips with more than 10 arms cores in it
- [17:23:17] <koen>
dunno if omap4 is one of those

there's the dual a9 .. the m3 .. a halfsize 64x+ core.. is there another m3 for another one of the subsystems ?
- [17:30:42] <nhg>
yes two M3s as well
- [17:31:00] <mru>
dual a9, dual m3, 2x arm968 in ivahd

- [18:16:44] <koen>
I wonder how many A15s TI will put in the SoCs
- [18:17:36] <ogra_ac>
didnt TI buy stocks from smoothstone ? or do i misremember the news ?
- [18:18:03] <armin76>
koen: do you know at what speed is running the memory on your panda?
- [18:19:38] <koen>
200MHz accoring to #pandaboard
- [18:19:52] <koen>
ogra_ac: dunno, I only know ASP roadmaps
- [18:20:09] <ogra_ac>
wasnt that bumped to 400MHz ?
- [18:20:27] <ogra_ac>
or was that the bus speed only
- [18:20:50] <koen>
EA1 is 200MHz
- [18:20:53] <koen>
A! is 400MHz
- [18:20:58] <ogra_ac>
ah
- [18:20:59] <koen>
A1*
- [18:21:00] <ogra_ac>
k
- [18:21:07] <koen>
that's what I heard

- [18:25:38] <nhg>
Yes...koen is right EA1 = ES2 OMAP4 silicon (200 Mhz lpDDR2)
- [18:26:05] <nhg>
A1 = ES2.1 OMAP4 silicon (400 Mhz lpDDR4)
- [18:26:37] <ssvb>
is pandaboard using dual channel memory?
- [18:27:26] <armin76>
ddr4?
- [18:29:23] <nhg>
sorry...typo
- [18:30:07] <ssvb>
armin76: I just wonder if "OMAP4430 SDRAM BW budget ~5x OMAP3430" from http://www.hotchips.org/archives/hc21/2_mon/HC21.24.400.ClientProcessors-Epub/HC21.24.421.Witt-OMAP4430.pdf is true

sorry, was i polite?
- [18:43:29] <mru>
you said it sucks
- [18:43:36] <mru>
that's quite polite, considering
- [18:59:44] <ssvb>
mru: I promise not to be polite if omap4 turns out to have slow ram in the end :)
- [18:59:53] <_av500_>
+1
- [19:00:04] <mru>
