This could also be the errata issue on > your earlier rev beagleboard-xm with off-idle. might be. Your pstore hint gave me something. I tried that earlier but somehow assumed that dram content was killed on init. But the content is even there are pressing the reset button :) However, I was able to capture the case where the LED was not blinking: The IIR register says 0xc6 (=> line status error). That is okay. At the same time LSR register says 0xe0. This is not okay. It means that there is some kind of error and at least one error bit is set in this register which is not the case. Also those bits are cleared on read which does not happen here. And we loop forever so the LED does blink anymore. The RX-count register says that it is empty which sense because bit 0 is not set (in LSR). However I can read multiple times from the RX FIFO until I get the "unhandled bus access" error which usually happens right away if the empty FIFO is read on omap3 HW. In the last test I mange to read 91 times before the crash. I hoped that this FIFO read would make the interrupt go away but it did not. The HW seems to be in a strange state. It might be either the errata or something else. I even took the resume routine from omap-serial in case I did something wrong. In my last test it worked for 10minues before the interrupt storm came. This is probably the same thing I see on the omap-serial driver where I got from pstore: [ 32.659271] random: nonblocking pool is initialized [ 212.170623] NMI watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#0 stuck for 22s! [swapper:0] So I *guess* the interrupt routine is looping. This is problem one, no idea what is going on (the register status captured on 8250-omap makes no sense). Problem two, where the UART does not wakeup: What I observed is that sometimes the UART does not wake up properly i.e. it does not write anything on the console, even where it should. I can't tell if the read is working properly, the write does not. >From my capture I see that the resume routine was running and the register should have been written. That means the UART should be up and running but nothing happens. It often works again after the system comes out of resume again (i.e. RPM suspens and resumes the UART). So it is okay on the next wakeup. Or the wakeup after next. >From the script: | while ((1)) | do | | echo -n 409-chars >/dev/ttyUSB0 | | sleep 1 | a=$(date) | echo -e "\n#$a" >/dev/ttyUSB0 | echo $a | sleep 13; | done I see that sometimes one or two sequential timestamps are missing. And the it continues like nothing happened. > Tony Sebastian -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-omap" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
