Is two minutes excessively long for boot time? It seems excessive to me.. I'm running the 307 Binaries from gumstix.net currently, but it has been this slow to boot since I bought it. Thanks, -Michael |

You probably can disable support for hw you don't have and speed up the boot. What boards are in your stack? Let us know and we can give advice.

My current stack is XL6P, netwifimicroSD-vx, consolelcd16-vx My stack for the final project this gumstix is for will be the robostix instead of the consolelcd16-vx, which I've heard some compile options need to be changed to get it to boot properly anyways. (I already have a build environment set up which works) Thanks, -Michael Steve Sakoman wrote: > You probably can disable support for hw you don't have and speed up the boot. > > What boards are in your stack?

Given that board stack, you can disable MACHINE_FEATURES for bluetooth and sound. This should reduce your boot time and reduce the size of your image substantially. If you aren't using the LCD and touchscreen, you can also disable the lcd and touchscreen features. You will certainly want to do this (as well as enabling the robostix feature) once you connect your robostix.

I've somehow managed to break a bit of the ribbon cable on the samsung lcd display and now nothing displays on the screen (backlight still working). The ConsoleLCD-vc board status light comes on then goes off. It's the bit of the cable with 4 traces (a little ribbon on it's own). Obviously this isn't something I can really fix, what should I do? It will cost so much money to order another dsplay from gumstix because of the import tax and everything. It's going on £500 so far :S. Is there any way I can simply order just the ribbon cable for the display and attach it myself? Really strange as I don't remember breaking it, I just came to switch it on and it didn't work. Guess it must be just wear and tear, but it's only been about 2 weeks since I received it from gumstix. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Regards, Drew Genesis Communications Limited.

You can't replace it yourself, and it's not sold separately ... The 4 wire ribbon is most likely the touch screen, so if you dont need it you can probably cut it out completly and hope the rest is not damaged ... The only other option is to try to "patch" things up ... make a clean cut then try to access the internal conductor trace and solder or connect to it somehow ... PS: No guarantee but that's what I'd do in the absence of any better way ... Sylvain On Tue, Apr 8, 2008 at 12:26 AM, Drew Higginson <jed...@ms...> wrote: > Anyone?

I had the same issue(long boot time, hardware drivers for stuff we didn't have putting out these confused and pathetic 'help me help me help!' messages into our console on startup) with a roughly similar configuration. However, disabling the MACHINE_FEATURES settings in gumstix-custom-verdex.conf such as wifi and snd didn't help. What did eventually work was using ipkg to strip out these things after the image was installed. The list(so far) is... ipkg remove -recursive kernel-module-gumstix-bluetooth libbluetooth2 kernel-module-bluetooth wifistix-modules kernel-module-mmc-block kernel-module-mmc-core '*snd*' '*alsa*' wireless-tools '*module-ide*' 'wpa*' '*pcmcia*' 'kernel-module-ieee80211*' Steve Sakoman wrote: > > Given that board stack, you can disable MACHINE_FEATURES for bluetooth > and sound.

I ran through the exercise of rebuilding completely from scratch, but first editing the gumstix-custom-verdex.conf script, removing MACHINE_FEATURES that we didn't need. This did produce a uImage and rootfs that did not load those features. ## ## Diffs: ## diff -r gumstix-oe/build/conf/site.conf gumstix-oe-307/build/conf/site.conf 26,27c26,27 < PARALLEL_MAKE = "-j 5" < BB_NUMBER_THREADS = "5" --- > #PARALLEL_MAKE = "-j 4" > #BB_NUMBER_THREADS = "4" Only in gumstix-oe/com.gumstix.collection/conf/machine: #gumstix-custom-verdex.conf# diff -r gumstix-oe/com.gumstix.collection/conf/machine/gumstix-custom-verdex.conf gumstix-oe-307/com.gumstix.collection/conf/machine/gumstix-custom-verdex.conf 12,13c12,13 < #ROOT_FLASH_SIZE = "15" < ROOT_FLASH_SIZE = "31" --- > ROOT_FLASH_SIZE = "15" > #ROOT_FLASH_SIZE = "31" 31,32c31,32 < #MACHINE_FEATURES += "bluetooth" < #MACHINE_FEATURES += "sound" --- > MACHINE_FEATURES += "bluetooth" > MACHINE_FEATURES += "sound" 37,39c37,39 < #MACHINE_FEATURES += "lcd" < #MACHINE_FEATURES += "rgb16" < MACHINE_FEATURES += "rgb18" --- > MACHINE_FEATURES += "lcd" > MACHINE_FEATURES += "rgb16" > #MACHINE_FEATURES += "rgb18" 42c42 < #MACHINE_FEATURES += "keyboard" --- > MACHINE_FEATURES += "keyboard" 44c44 < #MACHINE_FEATURES += "pcmcia" --- > MACHINE_FEATURES += "pcmcia" 47c47 < #MACHINE_FEATURES += "wifi" --- > MACHINE_FEATURES += "wifi" 51c51 < #MACHINE_FEATURES += "fat" --- > MACHINE_FEATURES += "fat" 54c54 < MACHINE_FEATURES += "mmcroot" --- > #MACHINE_FEATURES += "mmcroot" 68,69c68,69 < #module_autoload_pcmcia = ${@base_contains('MACHINE_FEATURES', 'pcmcia', 'pcmcia', '',d)} < #module_autoload_pxa2xx_cs = ${@base_contains('MACHINE_FEATURES', 'pcmcia', 'pxa2xx_cs', '',d)} --- > module_autoload_pcmcia = ${@base_contains('MACHINE_FEATURES', > 'pcmcia', 'pcmcia', '',d)} > module_autoload_pxa2xx_cs = ${@base_contains('MACHINE_FEATURES', > 'pcmcia', 'pxa2xx_cs', '',d)} ptkdb wrote: > > I had the same issue(long boot time, hardware drivers for stuff we didn't > have putting out these confused and pathetic 'help me help me help!' > messages into our console on startup) with a roughly similar > configuration. > > However, disabling the MACHINE_FEATURES settings in > gumstix-custom-verdex.conf such as wifi and snd didn't help.
