Hello everyone. I am attempting to get the branch named pm-2.6.29 of Kevin Hilman's linux-omap-pm repo to boot on a Beagleboard revision B5. The purpose of this is to apply some patches made by Russ Dill about a year ago [1] that allow a low-power sleep by adding some TWL scripts. I have been unable to determine whether these are working with the branch named pm (I am aware that the second and fourth patch are already applied, so I only need the first and third), so I figured it was best to start from the same point that Russ Dill started at, which he reports is pm-2.6.29 The trouble is that pm-2.6.29 does not boot (I boot from an SD card, use the config file named omap3_beagle_pm_defconfig, and use u-boot 2009.11) -- no output is printed after "Uncompressing Linux... done, booting the kernel." Normally, I would enable CONFIG_EARLY_PRINTK and provide some resulting output, but this option seems to be missing from the branch in question. I asking for help in one of the following: 1) Whether there is any alternative way to get useful output to diagnose why pm-2.6.29 is not booting. 2) How to apply the patch similarly to the current pm branch. (Have the relevant sections been moved to a generic file at board-3430sdp.c ? Is there anything else I need to know? Is there documentation on what exactly these scripts are doing?) 3) Whether there's any alternative way to achieve the same objectives of power savings. I appreciate your support in this.
