Hello,

I am using a Overo WaterStorm Com and Chestnut43 board. I am receiving the following error:

hub 1-0:1.0: port 2 disabled by hub (EMI?), re-enabling...

phy2 -> rt2x00_print_chip: Info - Chipset detected - rt: 1300, rf: 0002, rev: 0002573a.


I am using Android, with the Linux kernel version 2.6.32, a self powered usb hub and a RAlink usb wi-fi dongle.  This issue didn't seem to be present when I was using an Overo Tide Com on the chestnut43 board or when I use the Waterstorm with a Tobi board. This error happens even without the wi-fi doggle attached and with two different USB hubs. 

I have tried changing the cpu frequency 800, 600 and 300MHz and turned on Smart Reflex on VDD2 (compiled into my kernel and echo -n 1 > /sys/power/sr_vdd2_autocomp -  Found a thread about beagleboards that were having a similar issue). I have tried with the 4.3" LG LCD screen disconnected from the Chestnut43 board. To be able to use the aforementioned cpu frequencies I edited the board-overo.c:

from:
omap2_init_common_hw(mt46h32m32lf6_sdrc_params,
                 NULL, omap35x_mpu_rate_table,
                 omap35x_dsp_rate_table, omap35x_l3_rate_table);
to:
omap2_init_common_hw(h8kds0un0mer4em_sdrc_params,
                 NULL, omap37x_mpu_rate_table,
                 omap37x_dsp_rate_table, omap37x_l3_rate_table);



Does anyone have any information or experience with this issue?  Is it hardware or software? Can it be fixed with either?


Any help is appreciated.


Kind Regards,

Ben

Currently no work around other than not using gnome on fedora 16.
Builds fine at home using xfce desktop

Problem is the gnome terminal app.

Just testing to see if its a gumstix only problem or if pure angstrom 
gives the same problem

Trying to solve this same issue right now on ubuntu 11.10.

Anyone have a resolution?

Braon

Seemed associated with gnome-terminal not creating the window for
menuconfig.

There was a thread somewhere about switching to Xterm, i tried this and
it works.  from gnome terminal it spaws an xterm and opens up fine.

Also, it works if you load up kubuntu for what its worth.

If this is the problem, it is also possible to run menuconfig on a text
only terminal:

add a few lines to local.conf:

$ echo 'TERMCMD = "${SCREEN_TERMCMD}"' >> build/conf/local.conf
$ echo 'TERMCMDRUN = "${SCREEN_TERMCMDRUN}"' >> build/conf/local.conf
$ bitbake -c menuconfig virtual/kernel

from a different terminal, run

$ screen -r


to attach to the screen terminal where the menuconfig is running.

    that's it

Thanks guys!

installing xterm and running in that didn't work just gives the same 
errors as before
(its not installed by default in fedora any more)

Even using xterm its still looking for some gnome-terminal packages.


Trying via screen and its working nicely.

Thank you

Alex

Hi Alex,

Like you, I stupidly upgraded my 11.04 to 11.10 and this is another problem
encountered with OE dev.
>From AskUbuntu,

I added 

TERMCMD = ${XTERM_TERMCMD}
TERMCMDRUN = ${XTERM_TERMCMDRUN}

to the end of my local.conf

and is able to get the menu screen again.

Please try.

Cheers~!

James.

I did and I posted that it worked for me via screen in my earlier 
message (or I thought I did).

It worked fine, using screen to connect to the menuconfig window.

Will try my custom images next week
as have undergrad thesis presentation tomorrow morning
(just polishing up my poster before printing and few slides to finish).
Taken 11 years part time so far (4 subjects to go next year).

Should have another two remote lab experiments up by the end of next week

This is what our omap experiment/rig for student use looks like
(current version)
http://www.alexthegeek.com/omap/overo/rig/1.png
http://www.alexthegeek.com/omap/overo/rig/2.png

looks a lot better than our old prototype shown at
http://www.labshare.edu.au/library/future_rigtypedetail/?id=16&version=1

Can see some of our other experiments/rigs
http://remotelabs.eng.uts.edu.au/labinfo

Hi Alex,

In this picture you have a heat-sink on your MCU - did you add this yourself?  Where you experiencing temperature issues?  What Overo Com are you using?

Thanks,

Ben

Yes added it myself.

Its a heatsink from jaycar for ram.
Think its this one I'll have to check
http://www.jaycar.com.au/productView.asp?ID=HH8580

Problem here is ambient air temps

Ambient air temps in
late spring vary from 25*C to 40*C (hit 38*C last week)
summer from 28 to 48*C+ (had 65*C air temp recorded in road side box)

even the office (air conditioned) is around 22 - 24*C most of the year
and the lab airconditioning is 22 to 27*C

Not experiancing heat problems in the lab
(except when the airconditioning fails).

Added the heatsinks for a different project(visitor monitoring/user 
tracking) which was mounted outdoors in plastic instrument boxes some in 
full sun, had to switch from fire to earth coms as the wifi was 
overheating  and they weren't giving us enough range.

We borrowed the boards from that project
Just about to buy some waterstorm coms so can give the boards back.

The coms are overo earth, the expansion board we got made up.
Its just a simple breakout without level shifters.
Level shifters and wiring are hidden behind the front panel as well as 
the mosfet board for 5v to 12V to drive the leds , motor and temperature 
oven(metal box with fans,heater and temp sensors(lm355)).

Yup, saw your reply about using screen.

For me, it's just plain adding these statement to the local.conf and the
normal bitbake will pop up a new terminal as normal.
No need for "screen -r". <BTW, I don't know what is that! (^^)&quot;>

Part of the older threads are gone from the Nabble forum too, thus missing
pieces of the question asked.

Cheers~!

Good luck to your presentation!

Thanks I'll have to see if just adding those to local conf works.

screen lets you have many terminals in a single terminal window
(terminal multiplexer)
Its very good, bad and can be frustrating(key sequences)

http://www.gnu.org/s/screen/
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_Screen

Works as a remote terminal and is available on most platforms

e.g
sudo screen /dev/ttyUSB0 115200
