irclog2html for #htc-linux on 20061020

00:00.56cr2no, the wince mapping ends.
00:05.43cr2good night.
00:09.02psokolovskycr2, night. I'm posting new htcuniversal_bl to kernel-discuss. assuming you're there now ;-)
00:09.15Kevin2The only thing I can think to do is not run the universal specific shutdown routines (the ones that turn off the fb), and then reenable the fb writes to see where in the boot we are failing.
00:09.22Kevin2cr2: Good night.
00:11.18Kevin2psokolovsky: I'd like to use a generic backlight driver too.  Is it just do pwm stuff?  If so, the Apache is on pwm<0>, so it should work there too.
00:12.52psokolovskyKevin2, actually, per-machine code is ~10 lines. the rest is just common wrapper implementing a standard kernel design pattern. feel free to use any of converted ports as sample (h2200/h4000 is in cvs already)
00:41.00lkclguys - where's the first entrypoint into the linux kernel?
00:41.14lkclwhere's the very first c function that gets called?
00:41.51lkclwhere it's safe to do some debugging - splat something into memory (in the screen buffer area) - just like you're doing, Kevin
00:44.13lkclok found it - init/main.c
00:53.03lkclcr2: ok - yep - something weird going on.  i'm writing 20 chars to the 0xa5800020 address in init/main.c and nothing on-screen appears
01:14.55Kevin2lkcl: Bootup starts in the asm code.  See arch/arm/boot/compressed/head.S  -- it will also hand off to the uncompress code in c -- arch/arm/boot/compressed/misc.c.
01:15.39Kevin2You don't get to main.c till later.  Also, note that if you want to write to the framebuffer, you need to use different addresses depending on where you are in the code.  At some point (not sure where) the mmu is enabled, and you'll need a different (non physical) address.
01:30.06lkclok.  ta

18:39.46goxboxlivecr2 are you there?
18:43.57goxboxlivepsoskolovsky: Man you have realy been active lately with kernel driver writing.
18:51.53psokolovskyHi!
18:52.18psokolovskygoxboxlive, Just would like to finish consistently what was started ;-)
18:52.39goxboxlivewell it's a great job you do.
18:52.46psokolovskyBut I'm gald that hh.org kernel repo is back to activity after summer vacations ;-)
18:53.01psokolovskythanks, I enjoy it
18:53.26goxboxliveYes it was very quite there this summer.
18:53.50goxboxliveThe button patches you have aplied, is there something we could take advantage of with our HTC Universal?
18:55.01psokolovskygoxboxlive, That's up to you guys. I'm not overly familiar with button/keyboard designs across phone devices, plus phones of course have own requirements.
18:55.24psokolovskySo, it's RFC, feel free to check if it would work for your devices.
18:56.28goxboxlivewell i have to ask cr2 there. He knows this bether than me. :-)
18:57.47psokolovskyit's not high-priority I guess. So far, I need to lead that to OE.dev, Familiar etc. Then, there will be more grounds to consider if other types of devices may benefit from that too.
18:59.08goxboxliveok, i have heard tht familiar is getting obselote
18:59.34goxboxlivethey advice me to move over to angstrom sinvce it is more up 2 date
19:05.07psokolovskywell, I looking with hope towards Angstrom too, but they yet have to make a release ;-). And Familiar is old, but stable and here right now. Anyway, it's good that you hack with OE.dev, hope some breakages do not annoy you much ;-). It' better to hack with what breaks, but there's a help to fix it, then with old stuff fixes for which are of little interest ;-)
19:17.06goxboxliveYes, its fun to play around with it. But it seems like they have decided to pull out Opie, and that's sad. I like Opie a lot more that GPE. It seems faster, and the GUI looks betther.
19:18.38psokolovskygoxboxlive, they talk about pulling it, because noone of them interested to maintain it. well, I have plan to not let it go that easily...
19:19.30goxboxlivethat's good.
19:20.35goxboxliveDo you know what qtopia-core is? I am building it now. Is it the missing opensource package from Trolltech that OE is waiting for?
19:24.34psokolovskydunno ;-) from my point of view, it's just another package which will take effort to integrate with ;-)
19:26.55goxboxliveare you able this days to build a opie-image? mine is failing both on familiar and angstrom.
19:27.43*** join/#htc-linux asylumed_ (n=insanity@196.211.28.91)
19:32.23psokolovskyI built image for Fam, didn't even try for OE.dev.
19:34.31cr2hi guys. not that many people on friday evening.
19:34.51derekSits not friday evening here yet :)
19:35.01goxboxlivehi cr2
19:35.10cr2LOL.
19:35.16cr2hi goxboxlive
19:36.26cr2i have added some more RIL patches to haret. it will break on "normal" PDAs now because i was lazy to use dlopen() and friends.
19:36.46cr2and managed to confuse the phone completely.
19:37.07cr2it spews some gpios that i have not seen before in active use :)
19:37.20goxboxliveCR2: psokolovsky has done some button patches in the kernel for several devices. Is that something we could take advantage of?
19:37.24cr2like asic3gpiob7
19:37.44cr2asic3_keys ?
19:38.09goxboxlivehave you made a binary of Haret?
19:38.10cr2we can profit from splitting the pxa keyboard, asic3_keys, and pxa buttons.
19:38.33goxboxlivehttp://handhelds.org/hypermail/kernel-discuss/18/1837.html
19:38.50cr2hmm. i can upload this version. if you'll try to do the AT logging, that will be great.
19:41.17goxboxliveI have made a cu packaga today. I aksed koen to commit uucp in OE.
19:43.16cr2now you are a real hardcore guy :)
19:44.04cr2cool, now i can get my mail over uucp on universal.
19:44.15goxboxlive:-)
19:49.20cr2uploaded.
19:49.44cr2the code is portable and will also run on samsung and omap* cpus.
19:50.04cr2they only need to write a good gpio tracer for their cpus.
19:50.25cr2and dump internal subsystem registers.
19:51.00cr2as it is usual in the linux world, there are no docs for the new commands :)
19:51.26cr2i have forgot the syntax myself already.
19:57.26goxboxlive:-)
19:57.34*** join/#htc-linux asylumed (n=insanity@196.211.116.6)
20:00.41cr2tstril, btctl and irctl.
20:00.52cr2try "tstril"
20:01.14goxboxlivei will, but i have problem booting
20:03.44cr2booting?
20:03.54cr2wait, i'll upload a newer one.
20:07.25cr2done.
20:07.41goxboxliveok
20:09.13*** join/#htc-linux RoEn_PC (n=roen@p54A6792F.dip.t-dialin.net)
20:11.48cr2goxboxlive: i have a problem here, because i've lost the AC power supply for the universal. so i can't trace when the gpioc15 is called.
20:11.52goxboxlivecr2: i dont rememver how
20:12.02goxboxlivewhat should default.txt include?
20:12.14cr2tstril
20:12.21cr2only
20:12.37cr2but you'd have the atdbglog enabled and working.
20:12.41goxboxliveand the log file is named Atdbg0?
20:13.19cr2yes. remove it, edit the registry, do soft reset, look if \Temp\Atdbg* is there, run haret.
20:13.31goxboxlivei have it
20:15.52goxboxlivebig file, 1,5MB
20:16.32goxboxlivecr2: I have to mail you the file, it is to big
20:16.39cr2ok.
20:21.58goxboxlivecr2: I cant delete the debug file in the TEMP folder. It says violation sharing.
20:22.53goxboxliveAnd the btctl gives me a failure when starting Haret. It says: Line 1: Expected <0|1|10|11|20|21|22>
20:24.13cr2hmm. i don't see AT+FOOBAR in the file.
20:24.24goxboxliveand the same with irctl, except <0|1>
20:24.41goxboxlivecould that be that i dont have a sim card in it?
20:24.46cr2to remove the file edit the registry, and do soft reset.
20:24.59cr2maybe.
20:25.28goxboxliveI am using a another phoen, becuase it's not Universal is not a trusty phone.
20:25.29cr2yes, it is possible to run "irctl 0" and "irctl 1"
20:25.55cr2but we already know what comes out. also for bt.
20:26.00goxboxliveok
20:26.07cr2but it may be interesting for the other phones.
20:26.58cr2well, i think we need to do a summary.
20:27.11cr2what is not working, and what should be done.
20:27.44goxboxlivewell, the backlight is now working, even from Haret start, so that is not an issue anymore
20:27.55goxboxlivesoundcard it's not working
20:28.54goxboxlivesuspend/resume
20:31.47cr2does the lcd/backlight do a proper suspend/resume in the text/video mode now ?
20:32.39goxboxliveI havent tried that yet. I dont have any images that works now. Could you upload your latest build of Opie ?
20:33.17goxboxliveIt didnt work before psokolovsky rewrite the BL driver, but i havent tested it after

20:40.06goxboxlivehold on, i am building a new gpe image now, i can try that one first
21:04.43goxboxlivehmmit wouldnt boot anymore. It stops at freeing memory (96K)
