I'm trying the DRM_OMAP driver in STAGING in the linux-3.3-rc7 kernel, but I can't seem to get the kernel to detect the displays

I followed the ubuntu guide for sgx acceleration
- [10:29:09] <heeen>
but I don't see any pvr module at all
- [10:29:17] <heeen>
some pvr usb stuff
- [10:29:39] <heeen>
in the process of installing those omap4 extras it changed my kernel to a TI kernel
- [10:29:45] <heeen>
http://omappedia.org/wiki/PandaBoard_Ubuntu_PPA
- [10:30:52] <ogra_>
which ubuntu release ?
- [10:31:07] <av500>
carmic ozelot
- [10:31:19] <av500>
or hairy furball
- [10:31:23] <heeen>
oneiric
- [10:31:27] <av500>
close
- [10:31:35] <ogra_>
also thats not the ubuntu guide, the ubuntu guide is "use the official images, click the TI icon, reboot, be done"
- [10:31:52] <heeen>
I added it from the commandline
- [10:31:54] <ogra_>
(there is an icon with TI logo on the desktop)
- [10:32:11] <ogra_>
(wehich uses the *right* PPA)
- [10:32:17] <heeen>
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:tiomap-dev/release
- [10:32:18] <av500>
2012, the year of the TI logo on the linux desktop
- [10:32:22] <ogra_>
haha
- [10:32:28] <heeen>
so which is the right ppa
- [10:32:41] <ogra_>
the one the TI logo uses :P
- [10:32:50] * MohammadAG (~MohammadA@ool-45772b34.dyn.optonline.net) has joined #pandaboard

can you find out
- [10:32:59] <av500>
strings ti.ico | less
- [10:33:02] <ogra_>
(same url but the "release" PPa instead of "trunk")
- [10:33:44] <heeen>
cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/tiomap-dev-release-oneiric.list
- [10:33:46] <heeen>
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/tiomap-dev/release/ubuntu oneiric main
- [10:33:56] <heeen>
so is this right or not?
- [10:34:12] <ogra_>
looks ok
- [10:34:48] <ogra_>
so install the right metapackage, wait for dkms to do its duty, reboot and you should be in business
- [10:35:15] <heeen>
I installed ubuntu-omap4-extras
- [10:35:27] <ogra_>
sounds right
- [10:36:02] <heeen>
pvr-omap4-dkms is already the newest version.
- [10:36:17] <heeen>
there is no pvr anywhere in /lib/modules
- [10:37:02] <heeen>
http://pastebin.mozilla.org/1522005
- [10:37:04] <ogra_>
well, was it compiled ?
- [10:37:10] <ogra_>
and did you reboot afterwards
- [10:37:23] <heeen>
I rebooted
- [10:37:31] <heeen>
I did not do any manual compiling
- [10:37:34] * ogra_ has no clue how manual fiddling might interfere with dkms, i know the desktop variant works fine)
- [10:37:46] <ogra_>
you dont do any *manual* compiling
- [10:37:55] <ogra_>
dkms does it automatically on package install
- [10:38:29] <heeen>
that omap4-extras metapackage toke a while, asked me if I okayed to changing the kernel and some TI license mumbo jumbo
- [10:38:44] <heeen>
installed a lot of crap including icon sets (!?)
- [10:39:06] <heeen>
I certainly didn't see any compiler output scrolling by
- [10:39:07] <ogra_>
weird, it surely doesnt do that when using the desktop icon
- [10:39:27] <ogra_>
and thats the variant that gets heavily tested before release
- [10:39:52] <ogra_>
though that indeed doesnt guarantee that TI didnt change the PPA contents and we dont test it much after release
- [10:40:37] <heeen>
can you provide the output of lsmod on a working pandaboard with egl
- [10:41:12] <ogra_>
i dont have one running atm and all my installs are headless 12.04 here
- [10:41:48] <ogra_>
(for which we dont have any egl armhf drivers yet)

I'm trying to set the video mode on linaro android 12.02, but it looks like whatever I set for omapfb.mode in the kernel options, doesn't matter
- [12:04:55] <zgreg>
what's up with that?
- [12:05:50] <ogra_>
where did you get that option from ?
- [12:05:59] <zgreg>
I always get "omapfb: cannot parse default modes"
- [12:06:06] <zgreg>
TI's wiki, I think
- [12:06:20] <ogra_>
for panda ?
- [12:06:27] <zgreg>
yes
- [12:07:12] * ogra_ only knows omapfb.hdmimode and friends for pandas, i thought omapfb.mode wasnt supported
- [12:07:20] <ogra_>
i might be wrong though, never used it
- [12:07:43] * ogra_ has the luck to only have working monitors around
- [12:08:00] <mru>
zgreg: which output are you using?
- [12:08:18] <zgreg>
HDMI
- [12:08:35] <mru>
then it should in theory just work without any options
- [12:08:43] <mru>
what monitor are you using?
- [12:09:05] <zgreg>
ogra_: I'm not quite sure about that either. there's so much information about this stuff on the web, but much of it is outdated, it seems
- [12:09:21] <zgreg>
mru: it's one of those lilliput 7" displays
- [12:09:40] <zgreg>
it can be configured to HDMI and DVI modes
- [12:10:28] <zgreg>
mru: it works, but it always uses a ridiculuously high resolution, 1080p. Ideally I want to use the native resolution of the panel.
- [12:10:54] <mru>
oh, I see
- [12:11:09] <mru>
those monitors accept 1080p input, which can be useful of course
- [12:11:49] <zgreg>
the native resolution is only 800x480 pixels (IIRC), so 1080p definitely is way overkill :)
- [12:11:57] <mru>
yeah
- [12:12:14] <mru>
it depends on what you're doing though
- [12:12:20] <zgreg>
I used the syntax according to http://omappedia.org/wiki/Bootargs_for_enabling_display#DSS_specific_bootargs
- [12:12:23] <mru>
sometimes it's useful for troubleshooting
- [12:13:25] <zgreg>
I read somewhere that's outdated, though, and nowadays you should be using a "video=somethingsomething" parameter. not sure if that is true, and I don't want to hunt it down in the kernel...
- [12:13:32] <zgreg>
I'm using kernel 3.2, by the way

Hi, I have a question, I am trying to boot the pandaboard with the arch linux image. Are 2 partitions on a SD card always in /dev/mmcblk0p1 & p2 ?
- [12:13:56] <sri_>
hi
- [12:14:11] <mru>
omapfb.mode=dvi:<mode> works with 3.2 on beagle
- [12:14:15] <sri_>
i need some help..
- [12:14:56] <zgreg>
and what should <mode> look like?
- [12:15:17] <LetoThe2nd>
sri_: don't ask to ask, jsut ask. ask precisely, and include all necessary details :)
- [12:15:31] <sri_>
i am trying to delete a files in a directory using command rm -f * but it is saying like toomany arguments error..
- [12:16:39] <mru>
zgreg: as in that wiki page, believe it or not
- [12:16:53] <sri_>
i am seeing error like this:
- [12:16:55] <sri_>
root@lc-9:/disk/vol1> rm -f * -bash: /bin/rm: Argument list too long
- [12:16:59] <zgreg>
hmm, ok. I'll try again.
- [12:17:39] <sri_>
the directory has more than around 30000 to 50000 files..
- [12:18:19] <LetoThe2nd>
sri_: then the bash globbing expands probably to more than your maximum commandline length is. delete them in chunks.
- [12:18:35] <sri_>
how to do that..
- [12:18:39] <mru>
find . -delete
- [12:19:07] <LetoThe2nd>
oO( still waits dor the pandaboard reveance, though )
- [12:19:36] <zgreg>
sri_: xargs is another option
- [12:20:05] <sri_>
tell me the command to delete the files ..
- [12:20:17] <mru>
I already did
- [12:20:19] <zgreg>
it's always useful when you have lots of arguments
- [12:20:33] <mru>
be careful with xargs though
- [12:20:53] <mru>
if you have funny characters like spaces in the filenames
- [12:21:04] <zgreg>
-print0?
- [12:21:16] <mru>
that implies you're using gnu find
- [12:21:26] <mru>
in which case you're better off with the -delete argument
- [12:21:36] <zgreg>
that's only supported by gnu find? damn.
- [12:21:53] <zgreg>
if you're only going to delete files, sure
- [12:22:09] <zgreg>
sri_: so use the command
- [12:22:31] <LetoThe2nd>
or just delete the directory itself ;)
- [12:22:34] <ogra_>
just delete the dir and recreate it afterwards ;)
- [12:22:39] <ogra_>
LOL !

- [12:23:27] <sri_>
i want to delete files only..
- [12:23:29] <zgreg>
it looks like /disk/vol1 is a separate file system
- [12:23:39] <sri_>
yeah..
- [12:23:49] <zgreg>
sri_: why?
- [12:23:50] <LetoThe2nd>
sri_: you've been told everything necessary by now. go ahead.

800x480 is no hdmi mode
- [12:28:35] <av500>
I doubt the hdmi port can output that
- [12:29:30] <LetoThe2nd>
s/800x480/384000/
- [12:29:32] <pvr>
Hi, would the pandaboard output anything on the serial, hdmi or dvi ports without an SD card isnerted?
- [12:29:37] <pvr>
to check if it works...
- [12:29:44] <LetoThe2nd>
pwcerainly no.
- [12:29:44] <av500>
no
- [12:29:54] <pvr>
Ok

- [12:30:24] <av500>
it might show "PC load letter"
- [12:30:36] * LetoThe2nd notes for himself: "next time you have troubles understanding bash globbing, ask #pandaboard"
- [12:30:38] <pvr>
It just shows no cable attached...
- [12:30:46] <zgreg>
av500: but I'm configuring it to use DVI mode, at leas I'm trying to. also, aren't almost arbitrary modes possible? they might not be standardized, but should be configurable.
- [12:30:52] <pvr>
I'm trying to boot the arch linux image, but I get aboslutely nothing on either... is the second SD partition always mmcblk0p2 ?
- [12:30:55] <av500>
on the DVI port, yes
- [12:31:08] <av500>
are you sure the liliput even accepts 400x480?
- [12:31:30] <LetoThe2nd>
pvr: for verification that your panda is ok, better use ubuntu (server) first. it comes with a known good partitioning scheme ;)
- [12:31:52] <av500>
hda1 and hda2?
- [12:31:53] <pvr>
Ok.
- [12:32:15] <LetoThe2nd>
av500: kind of.

oO( hda3 = hda(1+2) = hda1 + hda2? )
- [12:32:45] <av500>
there is always "fdisk /mbr" if you have boot trouble
- [12:32:57] <av500>
and defrag.exe
- [12:33:25] <zgreg>
av500: I think it worked with some random android build I checked out a while ago
- [12:33:35] <ogra_>
defrag.exe ? wont work on the liliput ...
- [12:33:41] <zgreg>
anyway, shouldn't the framebuffer driver ignore EDID?
- [12:33:47] <ogra_>
no
- [12:33:49] <zgreg>
at least if I set a mode manually
- [12:34:03] <ogra_>
it should actually read it and pick the best available mode it supports
- [12:34:24] <zgreg>
best as in highest resolution mode supported?
- [12:34:33] <av500>
yes
- [12:34:38] <av500>
well, depends
- [12:34:52] <ogra_>
highest res *itself* supports
- [12:34:54] <av500>
I should pick the "native" res if possible
- [12:34:56] <zgreg>
it does, but the lilliput reports to support 1080p, which is quite a bit too much
- [12:35:07] <zgreg>
the native resolution is 800x480
- [12:35:15] <av500>
does it report that in edid?
- [12:35:27] <zgreg>
I think it does, let me check
- [12:35:40] <av500>
and does the driver honour that?

- [12:38:06] <zgreg>
the kernel only dumps the EDID in binary form, can't make any sense of that. but I assume any standard HDMI mode should work
- [12:38:18] <av500>
800x480 is not std hdmi
- [12:38:25] <av500>
640x480 is
- [12:38:33] <av500>
its even mandatory
- [12:43:38] <mru>
my panda is autoselecting 720p with a lilliput 7" monitor
- [12:44:21] <zgreg>
http://pastebin.com/MEX6KfLC
- [12:44:32] <zgreg>
I'm always getting this, no matter what I try
- [12:44:50] <zgreg>
and after that, it falls back to 1080p

Hello, I had ubuntu running normally on the pandaboard. I followed how to setup a console at http://omappedia.org/wiki/PandaBoard_Ubuntu_How-tos and I did it by connecting the sd card to a pc directly. I didnt have write permission but i modified the file with sudo. Now, when pandaboard boots up, the monitor detects a signal but it just displays all black. I changed the file back to the original contect but the permissions might not
- [14:49:52] <prp>
through serial port, i can stop autoboot and get a console but not sure how to fix this
- [14:50:58] <brax>
prp: what file you are talking about?
- [14:51:26] <prp>
this one /etc/init/tty2.conf
- [14:51:56] <brax>
do you have a backup of the old file? e.g. /etc/init/tty2.conf~
- [14:52:10] <prp>
before i just put # infront of the lines
- [14:52:36] <prp>
now, i removed the lines from how to webpage, and removed the # from the original lines
- [14:52:52] <brax>
prp: i see, and what happens?`
- [14:53:14] * ogra_ wonders why people dont follow ubuntu documentation
- [14:53:30] <prp>
the samething.In the serial terminal i see up to Entry Point: 00000000 Verifying Checksum ... OK Loading Kernel Image ... OK OK
- [14:53:39] <av500>

- [14:53:47] <prp>
Err: serial Net: No ethernet found. Hit any key to stop autoboot: 0 Panda # ls Unknown command 'ls' - try 'help'
- [14:53:56] <ogra_>
av500, no idea, but there is a pretty good serial howto on the ubuntu wiki
- [14:54:19] <ogra_>
so instead of hacking (and breaking) upstart configs one would have a proper reference :P
- [14:54:53] <brax>
prp: don't interrupt the boot process over the console
- [14:55:25] <prp>
if i dont interrupt, the monitor just detects an all black signal
- [14:55:50] <LetoThe2nd>
prp: well you interrupt it in the bootloader. there's no modifying files from there, and no unix shell...
- [14:56:16] <LetoThe2nd>
prp: guess you better just remove the card and change the file back at your dev machine :)
- [14:56:27] <prp>
i meant yeah i interrupted it couple times, but i booted it 20 times in last 30 minutes
- [14:56:49] <ogra_>
yeah, just properly undo what you broke
- [14:57:00] <prp>
i changed it back in dev machine, but i dont know if using sudo to modify the file screwed up permissions
- [14:57:14] <brax>
prp: normally not
- [14:57:38] <brax>
plug the sd card in, let it boot (dont press buttons :P) and tell us the last console output
- [14:57:43] <prp>
Do I have to reinstall ubuntu or do i have any other option?

yes, and?
- [14:59:52] <av500>
ah, console
- [15:00:09] <av500>
what is in your boot.scr?
- [15:00:10] <prp>
huh?
- [15:00:22] <brax>
prp: so, it boots the kernel, thats all good
- [15:00:31] <prp>
the default boot.scr i didnt change it
- [15:00:42] <av500>
so what did you change?
- [15:00:47] <prp>
i only changed /etc/init/tty2.conf but i changed it back
- [15:00:58] <av500>
that wont give you kernel logs
- [15:02:07] <prp>
i dont know why there is nothing coming on the display
- [15:02:18] <av500>
display?
- [15:02:33] <prp>
it used to work(hdmi output for ubuntu) before i first changed the tty2.conf
- [15:02:48] <ogra_>
/etc/init/tty2.conf only affects tty2 nothing else
- [15:02:55] <av500>
yeah
- [15:03:14] <prp>
can i have blown some sort of circuitry by touching it?
- [15:03:16] <ogra_>
breaking it would at most spill an upstart error during boot but not harm anything
- [15:03:47] <ogra_>
did you unplug the hdmi wire inbetween and plugged back into the wrong port ?
- [15:04:29] <brax>
prp: why don't you just try flashing a fresh image to your SD card?
- [15:04:30] <prp>
i tried it to borth borts. dvi-d the monitor no signal window roams around. hdmi - the nosignal window roams around until the kernel boots
- [15:04:39] <prp>
both ports*
- [15:05:41] <prp>
i only have one 32 gb sd card. it took a long while to install ubuntu and long while to install omap tools. that is my last option if i cant get this working in 1 or 2 hours
- [15:06:26] <prp>
i thought it would be something trivial
- [15:07:11] <ogra_>
have you tried to just remove the tty2.conf file ?
- [15:07:16] <prp>
no
- [15:07:21] <av500>
too obvious
- [15:07:36] <ogra_>
in case it contains something that really upsets the boot (which as i said is close to impossible, but you never know)
- [15:07:46] <ogra_>
just rm it
- [15:07:52] <prp>
ok
- [15:12:02] <prp>
i removed it. I got the same output in the serial port console but still no output on the panda monitor
- [15:12:29] * chardson (~chardson@64.134.172.102) has joined #pandaboard
- [15:12:55] <ogra_>
why would you expect the serial output to change ?
- [15:13:10] <prp>
i thought serial output wouldnt come since i removed the file
- [15:13:15] * ogra_ guesses you edited more than just the file to get to this state
- [15:13:17] <brax>
prp: do you have login prompt at the serial console?
- [15:13:29] <ogra_>
for serial output you need to create a proper serial config
- [15:13:47] <prp>
brax, i didnt interrupt, so its at Uncompressing Linux... done, booting the kernel.
- [15:13:49] <ogra_>
for which you best follow the ubuntu serial howto from the ubuntu wiki
- [15:14:41] <ogra_>
you must have touched other stuff to get to this state, just messing up tty2.conf cant cause such issues
- [15:14:42] <brax>
prp: seems you are doomed, reconfigure the serial console properly and then take care of the graphic output issue

- [15:15:06] <brax>
prp: or reinstall a clean panda image on your SD
- [15:15:43] <ogra_>
prp, again (third time now) next time follow the ubuntu documentation instead of using a third party page
- [15:15:55] <prp>
which ubuntu documentation
- [15:16:03] <ogra_>
in any case modifying tty2.conf cant have caused any issues
- [15:16:11] <ogra_>
google is your friend
- [15:16:23] <prp>
it got me to the ommapedia page
- [15:16:27] <ogra_>
google for ubuntu serial howto
- [15:16:46] <ogra_>
use the distros docs which are maintained properly
- [15:16:58] <ogra_>
instead of some third party howto
- [15:17:26] <prp>
i am gonna reflash ubuntu
- [15:17:34] <ogra_>
anyway, fix what you broke ... it cant have been the tty2.conf change
- [15:17:43] <ogra_>
so fix the other changes you did
- [15:17:57] <prp>
didnt do any other changes. not sure if hardware is faulty
- [15:18:08] <prp>
i dont know how to test if hardware is faulty except to reflash
- [15:18:19] <XorA>
prpplague: I think its all your fault :-D
- [15:19:54] <brax>
prp: did you run a ckfs on the sd card?
- [15:20:28] <brax>
prp: my advice is to grap a 4gb/8gb debug sd card and install some fresh panda image on it
- [15:21:03] <ogra_>
XorA, at least if he told people to change tty2.conf
- [15:21:16] <ogra_>
to get a serial console :)
- [15:21:33] <XorA>
ogra_: unrelated :-D

- [15:39:36] <av500>
yes
- [15:39:41] <av500>
panda has no LVDS output

ok thanks you :) if i connect my LVDS LCD whit LVDS serializer/deserializer to PandaBoard parallel output (J1-J4) i should directly see the image or i have to write a driver ?

don't speak about panel timings, that sucks
- [15:47:15] <dragondgold>
ok i will investigate about that thanks you very much :)

also, to connect to the serial port from a rs232 port to the expansion port, do i only connect j3pin6 uart4_tx and j3pin8 uart4_rxtx to one of the 9 holes of rs232? or do i also have to connect vio and gnd?
- [18:21:57] <Kevin`>
prp: connecting the usual pc +-12v serial to the 1.8v cpu io won't be good for the cpu
- [18:22:35] <prpplague>
prp: the uart on the expansion header is not at RS-232 levels
- [18:22:41] <Kevin`>
oh, pandaboard has one it's own level converter chip, nevermind
- [18:22:45] <prp>

if you are connecting to a computer the easiest thing to do is to get a usb-serial cable WITHOUT the transceiver that can operate directly at 1.8-5v

prp: are you trying to connect to the DB9 or to the uart on the expansion header?
- [18:26:39] <prp>
i am going to connect pandaboard to another microcontroller through the uart ports to send commands. But I just wanted to be able to debug by connecting the expansion port to rs232 since i dont have the smaller microcontroller ready yet
- [18:27:56] <Kevin`>
prp: why are you using the uart instead of spi (or i2c or 1-wire or ..)? you could eliminate the need for an accurate clock crystal with the latter
- [18:28:16] <prpplague>
prp: ok, then you can do one of two things, you can wire up a RS-232 driver on the expansion header and use a s standard usb->RS-232 , or you can use a usb->uart adapter that supports 1.8V operations
- [18:28:52] <prpplague>
Kevin`: most likely he is using an arduino or other avr which has easier support for code operations via uart

from uart4 to tty2*
- [18:32:04] <prp>
when i am using a microcontroller, i can change the code to talk to uart4_rx and tx, and when i am debugging, i can change the code to talk to tty2 rs232 port, interchangeably right?

i'm not sure what the question is

are you sure you need to use two seperate connections though?
- [18:35:36] <prp1>
one for production, one for debug
- [18:35:59] <prp1>
because a pc can talk to rs232 easily, and the microcontroller can talk to uart easily

it laks or ipv6 support or bt support
- [18:44:56] <mentis>
however
- [18:44:57] <AlvarezTomas>
Mmmh I can try to use an old one
- [18:45:04] <mentis>
the 12.1 works well :)
- [18:45:06] <mentis>
but
- [18:45:15] <mentis>
you have to have the graphics drivers ;)
- [18:45:58] <AlvarezTomas>
If I don't have the graphics drivers.. i will see forever the logo and nothing more?
- [18:46:18] <mentis>
not exactly
- [18:46:34] <mentis>
on 12.1 you launcher should 'load'
- [18:46:46] <mentis>
i mean 'load' by show and crash ;)

- [18:56:09] <_av500_>
the people over there should be able to help out
- [18:56:15] <AlvarezTomas>
I suppose that the prebuilt of linaro-android has the DPS Bridge access trough OpenMAX
- [18:56:18] <mentis>
yess but now since linaro worked i want AOSP ;)

Hey, anyone from TI (or pandaboard in general) that knows where the current pandaboard validation image lives? https://gforge.ti.com/gf/download/frsrelease/643/5076/validation-19102011.img is MIA.

Problem is with Precise, but I am unable to reproduce the issue here. Just trying to eliminate all possible issues.
- [23:25:12] <prpplague>
GrueMaster: ahh ok
- [23:25:31] <prpplague>
GrueMaster: you can build up an angstrom console image pretty quick on narcissis

Nothing personal, but I prefer using ubuntu. You understand. :P

GrueMaster: so if you need to test....
- [23:27:19] <GrueMaster>
Ah, ok. Makes sense.
