Does anyone have the firestorm (or any "storm") data sheets? I want to lookup the programming manuals etc for the new cpu. Steve -- Steve Modica CTO - Small Tree Communications www.small-tree.com phone: 651-209-6509 ext 301 mobile: 651-261-3201 |

Hi Steve The Cortex A8, DM3730-based Overo COMs are not generally available just yet, so a Gumstix product page has not been posted. Perhaps you can refer to Texas Instruments for programming information on their DM3730 processor?

Any idea when we can expect to see these, Don? And on a related issue, I assume OMAP based COMs will continue to be offered also?

These COMs are part of the Overo series, so they will connect to the same Overo-series expansion boards like Summit, Tobi, Palo43 etc. Don Anderson @ Gumstix ==================== |

Hi Don, Why do the "Firestorm" and "Waterstorm" specs state that the COMs support clock speeds of up to 800MHz? I expected the DM3730 based COMs to run at speeds of up to 1GHz.

I expected the DM3730 based COMs to run at > speeds of up to 1GHz. Can you please clarify? These processors support 1GHz and I've been able to run some at this speed. However, I've noticed some instabilities at 1GHz on 'some' chips hence we're recommending running at 800MHz at the moment. To the best of my knowledge, there are two issues possibly at play: 1. TI documentation suggests that 1GHz is best supported by the A3 revision of the PMIC chip on earlier revision of the processor. This theoretically shouldn't affect the Storm series boards as they use a recent revision of the processor and we've worked with our suppliers to get A3 silicon on the PMIC for future builds of the Storm series. 2. Users on different COMs using these processors have reported bugs with the adaptive body biasing patches submitted by TI to the linux kernel. Once these patches are debugged and integrated into the kernel, all COMs should run at a stable fashion at 1GHz. Hopefully this answers your question. I'm certainly interested in success/failure reports of anyone running at 1GHz. -Ash |

I seem to be able to run the WaterStorm Com at 1GHz with no problems but was consistantly told not to so I have changed it back to 800MHz. Can you expand on issues others have had so I can confirm if I have those? Is it ok to set my system back to 1GHz?

Can you expand on issues others have had so I can confirm if I have those? Is it ok to set my system back to 1GHz? If a system has failed at 1GHz for me, it has failed with obvious core-dumps/seg-faults. Some have failed in seconds, others in minutes. If you can run your system with a recent kernel while exercising (transfer large files etc.) for a couple hours, I'd estimate you're pretty safe. -Ash |
