Re: [Gumstix-users] Using a SD Card in MMC3

From: Michael Hope <Michael.Hope@ha...> - 2009-05-26 20:29

Hi Hugo.  No, no luck.  I've spent about a day on it and can't figure it out.

To put the driver in poll mode, add

  mmc->caps |= MMC_CAPS_NEEDS_POLL;

Into omap_mmc_probe in drivers/mmc/host/omap_hsmmc.c.  This causes the MMC core to poll for devices every second which is quite useful when you have a scope on it.

The people doing the Pandora console project have been putting a lot of work into this recently.  2.9.30rc4 builds fine for the Overo and it includes many MMC3 related updates.  I've been basing my work of the differences between board-overo.c and board-omap3pandora.c.

I wonder if it is something to do with the direction of the data lines?  The clock and cmd are fine but the bidirectional D0 to D3 never move.

Hi Michael,

Have you made any progress on this yet? I too am working on getting MMC3 to go.

I've made (presumably) similar additions to board-overo.c and checked the mux settings too, except I'm using linux-omap 2.6.29 + stable series (.4) + real-time patch (-rt16).

How do you put the driver into poll mode?

Cheers,
Hugo

Hi All,

? I have built an image for gumstix which should work on my verdex xm4 booting from a microSD card. The image starts but ends at "Warning: unable to open initial console" which is printed on the console UART connector.

Anyone know how to get around this or what I did not do which is now causing me this delay? I've been at this for three weeks. Any help?

Thanks in advance,
Charles

Hello,

I am trying to get the gps on the gpsstix to provide a time source for ntpd. I would like to use PPS, but initially I would be happy just to get the NMEA approach working.

I would like to know if anyone has had success with a similar set-up to me? I have a verdex XL6P and gpsstix with the Neo 4s module, and a suitable active antenna (running open embedded). I can get a gps lock (verified using cgps), but ntp does not seem to be able to update - here is a sample output of running ntpq -pn (after waiting for some
time):

     remote           refid      st t when poll reach   delay   offset  jitter
==============================================================================
 127.127.28.0    .GPS.            0 l    -   16    0    0.000   0.000   0.004

To configure gpsd, I modified the basic gpsd.inc file build to include the --enable-pps and --enable-ntpshm flags.

To configure ntp, I added the following lines to  /etc/ntp.conf :

server 127.127.28.0 minpoll 4 maxpoll 4
fudge 127.127.28.0 time1 0.420 refid GPS

server 127.127.28.1 minpoll 4 maxpoll 4 prefer fudge 127.127.28.1 refid GPS1

The ntp and gpsd processes are started up as:

743 nobody     1900 S < gpsd -n -p /dev/ttyS2
865 root        892 S   /usr/bin/ntpd -p /var/run/ntp.pid -g

It would be great to hear if anyone has had success with a similar set-up.

Cheers,

Mike

All,

I am a new Gunstix user so sorry if I am asking common questions.  I am trying to create a root file system image using the command 'bitbake omap3-console-image' I get bitbake errors while trying to compile
e2fsprogs-libs:
OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory:
'/home/rboyce/overo-oe/tmp/work/armv7a-angstrom-linux-gnueabi/util-linux
-ng-2.15-r2/install/e2fsprogs-libs-dbg'

>From what I can tell this is a missing subdirectory.
So I make the missing subdir's but I get a root file system image that does not contain the inittab script see log snipet below:
Freeing init memory: 940K
INIT: version 2.86 booting
INIT: No inittab file found

Enter runlevel:

I have downloaded the v0.92 images and tested them all they look great so this leads me to a few questions:

1. What am I missing from my bitbake'd image to get it to boot all the way to a login prompt?

2. Bitbake talks about being able to make SDK's is there a way I can create an SDK from this image/recipe, so other colleagues who are also going to be working on this don't have to compile another tool chain each?  We will have about 7 people working on this when we get to full swing.

3. Is it possible to recreate the v0.92 image from a checkout?

I am not familiar with bitbake but have good experience with buildroot and other embedded Linux environments are there any more instructions other than what I have found at http://www.gumstix.net/Software/cat/Software-Overo/111.html?

To: gumstix-users@...
Message-ID: <23723251.post@...>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

Hello,

I have created a custom recipe for a package to run on the OVERO,  but bitbaking fails when doing Package QA, which comes after it has done the do_compile and do_install tasks.

Here is the error message:

NOTE: package mtiXsens-1.0.0-r2: task do_package: started
NOTE: DO PACKAGE QA
NOTE: Checking Package: mtiXsens-dbg
NOTE: Checking Package: mtiXsens
ERROR: QA Issue: No GNU_HASH in the elf binary:

NOTE: Checking Package: mtiXsens-doc
NOTE: Checking Package: mtiXsens-dev
NOTE: Checking Package: mtiXsens-locale
ERROR: QA run found fatal errors. Please consider fixing them.

I hope that you guys can give me some clues on what may cause this. The only thing I can think of is that some parts of the source code I am using for this package are platform dependent; they were primarily written for x86 architecture and I am not sure about their compatibility with ARM . I am wondering if this error may be caused by the build system detecting that the package will not be compatible with the target machine (Overo Earth), or is that something that is only detectable when the package is run on the target machine?

Thanks in advance for any help
Ahmed

IIRC that error shows up when the bitbaked package gets built using the host LDFLAGS rather than those for the target. You might check your recipe and/or makefile to make sure its using the right values.

Also, there has been a fair amount of chatter about this particular QA error on the OE list recently. I know some solutions were proposed, but I'm not sure if any of them got put in place. You might see if you can get a bitbake update that might 'fix' the issue??

Hi Eric,

Yes, we are using the Rx/Tx connectors on the Palo43.  We hooked up both, not sure which I am currently using, but the other one seemed to interfere with console output, so we disconnected it.  The one my signals come out from is /dev/ttyS0.  The voltage levels coming out of the Palo43 are 1.8 V.
We had to make a level shifter circuit to boost the signal to 3.3 V on the way to our radio, and reduce the signal to 1.8 V on the way to the Palo43.
If you'd like some pointers on how to put together that circuit, I can ask our electrical engineer.  BTW, since I sent the last message, I discovered that the -8 flag fixed most of the serial problems I was having, so the new agetty command is

agetty -8 19200 ttyS0

There are still some odd characters at the beginning of some lines I'd love to share findings on the serial interfacing front.  Do you understand how to change a serial output from being a console to being usable for device I/O?

Best,
Dan

Hi Michael,

What sort of level translation are you using for the MMC signals? I'm
using a TXS02612.

FWIW, I see the same behaviour you mention: CMD and CLK look fine on
the scope, but data never moves...

Attachments: external-mmc.patch

Hi Michael,

I (finally!) figured it out. Patch attached (against
2.6.29-omap1+patches applied by the linux-omap_2.6.29.bb recipe in
OE). Some bits of it are pretty hackish and/or specific to my board,
but I'm sure you can work it out.

The bulk of the patch is my backport of the MMC3 DMA related fixes
from 2.6.30 back to 2.6.29. The problem turned out to be bad
padconf/pin multiplexing; it looks like the USB driver was somehow
reseting the padconf set in u-boot to an alternated mode suitable for
some USB configuration that isn't used on Overo. I think this might
have come about upstream during the desparate hacks to get USB host
(ehci) working - quite a lot of hacks/FIXMEs/REVISITs left in that
code :-)

I'm still working on making the card-detect interrupt work (gpio
interrupts on the PMIC gpios don't seem to work at present); for now,
the driver is still in polling mode.

Enjoy!

[Gumstix-users] Palmtop image & Touchscreen

From: Demetris <fgcity4652@cy...> - 2009-06-17 21:42

Hi everyone.

I have a problem of sorts.

I compiled the latest palmtop image for overo and it loads fine when I
disable the touchscreen.

If I enable the touchscreen then it finds it but the palmtop image
(matchbox-desktop) doesn't load, the Overo splash screen goes to the end and
at a fraction of the load it just stays there and after a while it
disappears leaving the Angstrom image on the screen with the boot logo.

After that if I run ts_calibrate then the touchscreen works and calibrates.

Any ideas on what could be wrong?

Also I tried to start the matchbox-desktop manually but it says can't open
display, I do "export DISPLAY=:0 or 0.0 but still the same thing. 

Any help would be appreciated on this.

[Gumstix-users] omap3-console-image error

From: Demetris <fgcity4652@cy...> - 2009-06-21 17:49

Hi everyone, just checked out the latest git and am getting an error when
building the omap3-console image.

The error comes up when building the module-init-tools-cross-3.2.2-r5

The error is :

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lc
Collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

Do_compile failed.


What is causing this?

Re: [Gumstix-users] omap3-console-image error

From: Elvis Dowson <elvis.dowson@ma...> - 2009-06-21 18:04

Hi Demetris,
			Try to delete the entire /tmp folder, and go to:

cd overo-oe/org.openembedded.dev
git pull

to update your repository to the latest changes,

and then do a

bitbake omap3-console-image

There have been some recent changes, so would be good if you're  
working with the latest sync, so we can trouble shoot things better.

Then if in the middle some packages fail, e.g. module-init-tools- 
cross, simply type

bitbake -c clean module-init-tools-cross
bitbake -c rebuild module-init-tools-cross

That should fix it. I've seen this happen to me recently. Earlier on,  
all the image builds worked flawlessly. Now, of late, some packages  
fail in between, and doing a clean/rebuild works.

Perhaps you should try a clean/rebuild first, instead of deleting the / 
tmp folder, if you want to save some time.

Best regards,

Elvis

Re: [Gumstix-users] omap3-console-image error

Tnx Elvis.

I just "pulled" the latest git repository for overo and have cleaned and
rebuilt a couple of times.

Still the same error

Hi Demetris,
			Try to delete the entire /tmp folder, and go to:

cd overo-oe/org.openembedded.dev
git pull

to update your repository to the latest changes,

and then do a

bitbake omap3-console-image


There have been some recent changes, so would be good if you're  
working with the latest sync, so we can trouble shoot things better.

Then if in the middle some packages fail, e.g. module-init-tools- 
cross, simply type

bitbake -c clean module-init-tools-cross
bitbake -c rebuild module-init-tools-cross

That should fix it. I've seen this happen to me recently. Earlier on,  
all the image builds worked flawlessly. Now, of late, some packages  
fail in between, and doing a clean/rebuild works.

Perhaps you should try a clean/rebuild first, instead of deleting the / 
tmp folder, if you want to save some time.

Best regards,

Elvis

Hi Demetris,
				Try to clean that recipe, then go an edit the recipe file and put

DEFAULT_PREFERENCE = "-1" to exclude the latest version of this recipe  
from the build.

See if the previous version of the recipe works, by doing a build for  
that recipe alone.
