I don't understand why some stuff are not included in
arch/mips/configs/yeeloong2f_defconfig,
for example the sound chip or the v4l stuff for the webcam.
I just updated the default kernel configuration file for loongson2f
based machines, hope it can help you :-)
Yeap you have include many things now, it takes more time to compile
but at least some basic stuff are not missing anymore :)
- compile external wifi modules from
http://www.lemote.com/upfiles/wifi/rtl8187B_linux_26.1049.1215.2008_release2.tar.gz
to get proper Wifi performances (or I had to sit on the access point)
Does everybody has the same issue, I mean bad performances when using the
rtl8187 module that is included in the kernel ?
- get and compile the ec_module stuff from git
Cool, i could even break my box from the CLI now :
Flash flash device: 80000 at 1fc00000
flash device: Found 1 x8 devices at 0x0 in 8-bit bank
Amd/Fujitsu Extended Query Table at 0x0040
number of CFI chips: 1
cfi_cmdset_0002: Disabling erase-suspend-program due to code brokenness.
Creating 1 MTD partitions on "flash device":
0x000000000000-0x000000080000 : "Bootloader"
pmon flash device initialized
:)
The box is also complaining when it boots and try to set time :
xiwen ~ (n32) # hwclock --debug
hwclock from util-linux-ng 2.14.2
hwclock: Open of /dev/rtc failed, errno=2: No such file or directory.
No usable clock interface found.
Cannot access the Hardware Clock via any known method.
the previous kernel configuration file not include the "Real Time
Clock", so, no /dev/rtc there, so sorry :-)
Yeah i'm stupid i should have config that...
What has to be included in the config tree to get suspend/hibernate and
cpu_freq working ?
* try the following configuration options:
Machine selection --->
[*] Using cs5536's MFGPT as system clock
Power management options --->
[*] Power Management support
[*] Suspend to RAM and standby
[*] Hibernation (aka 'suspend to disk')
(/dev/hda3) Default resume partition
CPU Frequency scaling --->
[*] CPU Frequency scaling
[*] Loongson-2F CPU Frequency driver
* basic user manual(from www.lemote.com):
1. install a shell script
# apt-get install hibernate
2. modify the configuration file /etc/hibernate/common.conf
* find the "UnloadModules" section, modify it like this
UnloadModules r8187 usbhid ohci_hcd ehci_hcd
remove the # before "LoadModules auto"
* modify the "network" section
DownInterfaces eth0
UpInterfaces auto
* modify the "hardware_tweaks" section
remove the # before "FullSpeedCPU yes"
3. prepare a swap partition, by default, it is configured in kernel
as /dev/hda3
change it to yours swap partition in kernel or configure it
via /sys/power/resume, for example:
# fdisk -l | grep swap | cut -d' ' -f1
/dev/sda5
# ls -l /dev/sda5
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 5 2009-04-10 10:26 /dev/sda5
# echo 8:5 > /sys/power/resume
4. resume
pass an argument "resume=/dev/hdaX" to kernel, /dev/hdaX is your swap
partition.
5. try STD
# hibernate-disk
emerge hibernate-script and configure the system like you have said. The
box is reacting now.
There's no hibernate-disk on gentoo, just hibernate or hibernate-ram.

But when the machine is rebooting, I can see :

+ '[' -n '' ']'
+ /bin/echo -n disk
and even switch from one vt to another but I cannot type anything.
The only solution is too reboot... Maybe I got to read more man 5
hibernate.conf :)
If I try the hibernate-ram script, no more chance :
xiwen ~ (n32) # hibernate-ram
hibernate-ram: Trying method in sysfs-ram.conf...
hibernate-ram: Including configuration from common.conf
hibernate-ram: No suitable suspend methods were found on your machine.
hibernate-ram: You need to install a kernel with support for suspending to
hibernate-ram: disk or RAM and reboot, then try again.
or
xiwen ~ (n32) # echo -n mem > /sys/power/state
bash: echo: write error: No such device
Now, let's talk about the cpufreq stuff :)
cpufrequtils 005: cpufreq-info (C) Dominik Brodowski 2004-2006
Report errors and bugs to cpufreq@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, please.
analyzing CPU 0:
driver: loongson2f
CPUs which need to switch frequency at the same time: 0
hardware limits: 199 MHz - 797 MHz
available frequency steps: 199 MHz, 299 MHz, 398 MHz, 498 MHz, 598
MHz, 697 MHz, 797 MHz
available cpufreq governors: conservative, ondemand, userspace,
powersave, performance
current policy: frequency should be within 199 MHz and 797 MHz.
The governor "ondemand" may decide which speed to use
within this range.
current CPU frequency is 797 MHz (asserted by call to hardware).
cpufreq stats: 199 MHz:0.00%, 299 MHz:0.00%, 398 MHz:0.00%, 498
MHz:0.00%, 598 MHz:0.00%, 697 MHz:0.00%, 797 MHz:100.00%
It seems to be working but it's weird. When I start X and gnome (cpufreq
applet). I can see
that's the system is using the ondemand performance but is stuck at 797
Mhz if I don't do anything.
If i start working (yeah it's happening sometimes), the frequency is
moving from 199Mhz to 797Mhz.
The other thing which is weird is that I don't have this problem with
the Loonux stock kernel.
Btw, I have heard of an overcloking module ? is that working ? where's
the source code ? I want
to reach the speed of 900 Mhz :)
What about the power button ? Even on Loonux, the box is not asking for
shutdown when I press it.
Do you know where I can find the source code of the binary for the osd
stuff to work (/usr/bin/fnkey) ?
Sorry for this big mail, all this question (more or less stupid) :)
Cheers
