Argh, my N770 seems to have just died; it has been
behaving slightly
oddly and now it simply won't turn on (black screen and no
sign of life
whatsoever).
It is well out of warranty and frankly I don't see myself
buying another
one, so this effectively ends my hacking on it :(
Bummer :(
After a quick try, CONFIG_OMAP_RESET_CLOCKS was the first
stopper, then
it could not mount the MMC root.
Ahh excellent, that was why I posted my progress, in case it
rang a bell
with anyone! I think the touchpad driver may be broken as well BTW.
I think there was a patch posted for the omap1 MMC by
Ladislav few months
ago that probably fixes it.
Cool - I hope I may be back in the running soon (I was rather annoyed
when I posted that message!); I've ordered a new battery in case its
just that. A kind person has also offered me one thats broken in a
different way that I can probably cobble together with the remains of
mine if its something more critical that has died.
Good to hear, let's hope it just needs a new battery.
See also the n8x0 thread. If we get drivers/cbus to mainline, we
pretty much have everything we need for 770 in mainline too.
It would be nice to get the drivers/mmc/host/omap.c patch integrated
for 2.6.30 to make omap1 MMC work again. Ladislav, any news on that?
OK! My friend has lent me his N770 in the meantime so I can get
going again. It seems the board is fried on mine as my battery
works perfectly fine in his. gah!
Anyway, I have just tried disabling RESET_CLOCKS, but it still
doesn't work for me with the very latest linux-omap-2.6.
With my HWA patch applied, at least the screen goes black, but I
don't see any console output, and the thing doesn't appear as a
USB gadget (I'm mounting NFS as root over USB with cdc_ether).
I wish the thing had an LED I could turn on! Hmm, I wonder if I
could turn off the backlight easily..
Actually, after playing a bit, I discovered I'm getting a boot
penguin logo ok, but no actual textual console output; weird!
I feel really silly; the N770's bootloader had "serial-console"
enabled, which meant all the kernel messages were being sent out that
instead of being displayed on the fb. So I can now see WTF is going on!
Next problem for me: ohci-hcd.c is reporting an initialisation error
in the latest kernels, which is why my NFS-over-USB mount fails. I
can't see any changes in the initialisation *values* used, but there
have obviously been the "kill OMAP_TAG_USB" changes; I'm wondering if
its some initialisation ordering problem.
OK got it, it IS a timing problem, due to non-ARM changes in the core
kernel (possibly the recent async subsystem startup improvements?).
In the middle of the boot with a recent kernel, I see a message
"tahvo-usb: no tahvo_otg_dev" coming from
drivers/cbus/tahvo-usb.c/omap_otg_init(). This is because the internal
field "tahvo_otg_dev" is NULL. In turn, omap_otg_init() is being called
by tahvo_usb_become_peripheral() which is called from higher up in the
USB stack.
However, from the code, what is /meant/ to happen is that the "omap_otg"
driver is meant to call omap_otg_probe() (which sets that field) before
anything calls drivers/cbus/tahvo-usb.c/omap_otg_init(). However, due to
the timing problem, it occurs out of sequence, so it thinks there isn't a
transceiver present.
tahvo-usb.c looks as though it needs sorting out somehow; it seems to
consist of two seperate drivers rammed together, plus it has this timing
issue. The tahvo-usb code itself suggests splitting the tahvo-usb driver
into an "omap-otg.c" driver, though some thought will be needed to
eliminate the timing issue properly.
Hmm, a quick diff with $ git diff omap-2.6.28..master drivers/Makefile
shows that cbus order has changed in the Makefile, maybe that causes it?
Oooh that'd be horrible! but reverting it doesn't appear fix anything.
Anyway, the breaking changeset doesn't have that change in it...
its still the ones that I highlighted at the start of this thread.
Doing
git log -p
eba05254cb561dc27d5664503f91f7c21954e648..0595ee8a05836666b225e6bf003ede0da1e6e329
drivers/Makefile
Doesn't show any ordering changes in Makefile affecting cbus or platform...
Incidentally, I tried turning on CONFIG_BOOT_PRINTK_DELAY with a
boot_delay=100. With that, it now DOES probe the omap_otg device in
tahvo-usb first, but it dies with a NULL pointer dereference.
Still sounds like an initialisation timing problem here...
The attached (nasty!) debugging patch reveals that omap_otg_probe()
is not actually being called at all! Only
tahvo_usb_become_peripheral() is called.
If I comment out the:
#ifdef CONFIG_USB_OTG
if (!tahvo_otg_dev) {
printk("tahvo-usb: no tahvo_otg_dev\n");
return -ENODEV;
}
#endif
section, then it sees my USB device and attempts to boot over NFS.
Of course, this isn't a proper solution :)
Found it!
It is this change here:
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/tmlind/linux-omap-2.6.git;a=commit;h=57fee4a58fe802272742caae248872c392a60670
If I comment out the bit in platform.c with:
if (pdrv->id_table)
return platform_match_id(pdrv->id_table, pdev) != NULL;
Then all works fine (it drops back to using name comparison as prior
to this change).
With it left in however, pdrv->id_table is non-NULL for the tahvo-usb
driver, so it fails the check. I'm /guessing/ its filled with crap
since we're not setting it to anything anywhere, but I don't know
enough about the platform device driver model yet.
