[Gumstix-users] GPSstix i2c bus and FFUART

[Luke <puffo_@fa...>]

Hi there,

I'm a confused student trying to develop my uni project around gumstix 
platform. I checked documentation, but I'm not sure..

Can somebody please, highlight in the attached PCB image of the gumstix 
the 3 pins which form the i2c bus?




Also, again in the GPSstix documentation I found that there is a windows 
program from uBlox, the folks who make the actual GPS module, which 
allow you to monitor say how many satellite you see, signal strenght, 
and lots of diagnostic stuff..
The only condition is that program needs to connect itself to a COM  
port (either physical one or simulated through a USB adaptor like the 
FTDI 232 one)
My question is: anybody has any idea on how to write a program to 
redirect the output from the whatever serial port the GPS is connected, 
to say the FFUART of the GPSstix?

In addition, can I actually use the FFUART for the above purpose, given 
that I also use it to log into the gumstix when connected to my linux 
laptop?
Or should I redirect the the output from the GPS serial port to some 
other free serial port available on the GPSstix, instead?

Thanks in advance for any help

Luca

That's something I'm uncertain of (availability of a future version with 
fpu). Craig said a long time ago that besides a pxa270-based gumstix, 
they were considering to work (if memory serves) on another version 
which would be very innovative, but a NDA prevented them from giving 
more details at that time. Perhaps I'm wrong here, this was indeed a 
long time ago.

Since I didn't sign a NDA with no µc manufacturer, I can freely 
speculate that this one could be based on Monahans (AKA pxa-290), since 
intel had it planned by then. This would be a natural evolution of 
current product line.

That being the case, this high-clocked beast still lacks fpu, but with 
clock up to 1,25 ghz (even tought the expected instruction per clock 
cycle rate is lower than pxa 255), this is indeed a xscale on steroids, 
with low-power consuption, and some applications would beneffit from the 
higher clock up to the point of compensating the lack of fpu, while 
others would still be lagging behind, waiting for more floating-point power.

But, as fun as it is, speculating leads nowhere after all. Only gumstix 
folks really knows what their plans are, if the "secret" board is still 
on plans (and if it still is a secret), etc. Perhaps they were 
considering another brand, with fpu, perhaps it was not even ARM based, etc.

I'll wait and see :-)

Very cool. So... when does the Gumstix come out with a FPU? I am finding
that in my particular application (Er... set of applications), the lack
of a FPU is killing me. Yes, there are tools and methods available to
reduce this lack, but that requires quite a bit of rework and retooling.
Everything else about the Gum is awesome. Power, form, ports,
whatever...=20

No conclusions.
If you are interested in helping to understand this issue,
try doing the same with revision 1092 and post the result to the list.

Rev 1093 was the first 2.6.18 kernel.

Re: [Gumstix-users] MAC OS X Buildroot Error

[G Elliott <gelliott@gm...>]

compiling the buildroot on os x, as far as i know, has been abandoned  
for now.  i've only been able to compile it properly in linux  
(specifically debian-based linux).

if you have an intel mac, parallels is capable of creating the

other "name" linux.  don't choose "other linux," as it won't compile  
correctly.

When adding a new rule to iptables, there is a seg fault.  The kernel

Is there a conclusion to why this happens?

Re: [Gumstix-users] Booting up a gumstix with either usbnet (breakoutgs) or ethernet (netCF)

The ethernet gadget seems to be filtering all broadcast packets. I put
a print right in the gadget and I can see it tossing the DHCPDISCOVER
packet. It never even gets sent down to the pxa2xx_udc driver.

I'll need to write a little test program to confirm that it has
nothing to do with using a bridge on the host, since I can set up a
static link and regular non-broadcast traffic seems to work fine.
Actually, I guess just running a DHCP server on the Windows box and
not using a bridge would do that.

Under 2.6.11, using the exact same windows host, the DHCPDISCOVER
packets are sent just fine, and this is because the 2.6.11 version of
the ethernet gadget wasn't doing the same type of filtering. This is
why I think that the bridge has nothing to do with it.

Well, it does, if you're not using bridging on the Windows side.   
Though that is the preferred way to do things, so it probably won't  
work for most people ;)

It does, as far as I can tell.  It also works OK if you don't put the  
RNDIS device in a bridge on the windows side, but run a DHCP server  
on the windows machine itself.

[Gumstix-users] Need signals from both connectors

[Chris Elliott <Chris@PinsonConsulting.com>]

I need to develop a custom board for a connex that will have an ethernet 
MAC/PHY, AC97 codec and MMC slot.  It looks like I would need signals 
from both connectors.  Anyone have any hints as to how to make this 
easy?  The best thing I can come up with is to use a short flexible 
cable to get the less timing critical signals from the 60-pin down to 
the board.  Is there an off-the-shelf 60-pin extender cable available?

Hi Morgan,

This seems to be a problem with the packet data coming from the
network stack. fping is taking a timestamp from the received packet,
and this timestamp doesn't seem to be adjusted based on the time of
day.

I threw some prints in timeval_diff and got this output on my FC5 box:
a->tv_sec = 1161700624
b->tv_sec = 1161700624
google.com : [2], 84 bytes, 114 ms (96.9 avg, 0% loss)

and this on my gumstix:
a->tv_sec = 1161700684
b->tv_sec = 9548
google.com : [2], 84 bytes, 105209 ms (105251 avg, 0% loss)

So the problem is that the b->tv_sec is using the original date/time.
The data that's used to calculate b->tv_sec originates with the data
in the recvfrom_wto call, which comes from the recvfrom call.

[Gumstix-users] Customizing the NetMMC board with an USB controller

[Albert Dahan <albert@da...>]

Hi all,

Where are the buffers 74ac1645 and 74ac1645 specifically used for?  
Should I use these for connecting the address and data lines of the  
USB controller or can they be connected to the 92-pin connector  
directly?

If they are needed can I share these components (use the data and  
address lines on these) or do I need another set of these chips for  
the USB? The netDUO uses 1 set of these driver IC's to connect the  
data and address lines on the two Ethernet controllers.

So I thought I would mention that DHCP won't work under usbnet
connected to a Windows machine if you're using the latest kernel. It
is know to work under 2.6.11, and known to not work under 2.6.18.

It may work fine with a linux host.

All of the modifications are optional, if you do the following:

1 - Use a USB serial adapter, or 2, use a serial adapter but get the
power from the UARTS port rather than th gumstix pot.

If you deviate from the above (ie don't use a serial adapter at all),
then you'll need to add a pullup resistor.

By using a serial adapter you don't need to use a tweener, which means
that you don't need to modify it.

> So, any suggestion, hints, experiences, metodologies and code templates to
> start with?

Check out the i2c-io code described on these pages:
http://docwiki.gumstix.org/Robostix_i2c_io

You could choose to use i2c-io as it is, or you could write your own
code that runs on the robostix and uses i2c to communicate back to the
gumstix. The i2c-io was really just an example of what could be done,
and also be a little bit useful at the same time.

As for the serial stuff, the STUART port from the gumstix is available
on the UARTS connector on the robostix, so you can use that to connect
to your serial peripheral.

As for playing audio, the roboaudiostix behaves just like an audiostix
in that regards.

[Gumstix-users] SMTP Server on a netstix 200xm-cf

[Gareth Parris <gareth@12...>]

Dear All, would it be possible to run a SMTP server on the Gumstix netstix 200xm-cf device? I need this as I have a LINUX based WiseCam video server that supports emailing of images but it does not support SMTP authentication. My ISP's SMTP server only supports SMTP with authentication to stop relaying. Therefore if I was able to run one of these netstix 200xm-cf units internally as my SMTP server I could resolve my problem.

Not being a massive LINUX user I am unsure if this could be setup. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

[Gumstix-users] RESUBMITTED: fping returning negative roundtrip times after I set the date

[Morgan Jones <mdjones_2004@ya...>]

Actually I'm not convinced this is fping.
When I first boot my gumstix, my date is not set... so
it's Dec something 1969...
If I try to use fping on the gumstix then, I get sub 1
second response times... slower than my development
box, but still within the realm of reason.

If I then use ntpdate to set the datetime.

If I use fping, now the roundtrip times are negative,
like the example below...

# ./fping -c 3 -e google.com
google.com : [0], 84 bytes, 0.-115640228 ms
(0.-115640228 avg, 0% loss)
google.com : [1], 84 bytes, 0.-115624068 ms
(0.-115632148 avg, 0% loss)
google.com : [2], 84 bytes, 0.-115603102 ms
(0.-115622466 avg, 0% loss)

Here's what it looks like right after I boot up the

google.com : [1], 84 bytes, 373 ms (340 avg, 0% loss)
google.com : [2], 84 bytes, 238 ms (306 avg, 0% loss)

google.com : xmt/rcv/%loss = 3/3/0%, min/avg/max =
238/306/373

so I'm guessing it has something to do with setting
the date, but beyond that nothing is ringing a bell
for me... any ideas??

[Gumstix-users] ADC on GPSstix

[Brendan Maguire <maguire.brendan@gm...>]

Hey,

I want to use the GPIO pins on the GPSstix for ADC. How do I do this?
Does it have to be done using C code or can the IO lines be configured
for ADC operation via the command line? Can the voltage level value on
the ADC pin be found using some command line instruction?

Thanks,
Brendan

Re: [Gumstix-users] Booting up a gumstix with either usbnet (breakoutgs) or ethernet (netCF)

[Grahame Jordan <gbj@th...>]

Hi Sol,

The usbnet is setup as dhcp, so if you want an IP Address you need to 
issue it from the host machine.

Good Luck

Grahame
