Hey don't lose hope. There are two issues. First is just some big cards are too slow to respond at default 16MHz clock with Glamo 16-bit clock count timeout counter. See this https://docs.openmoko.org/trac/ticket/1743 Suspend / resume (partition overwrite is only a suspend / resume issue) has been fundamentally broken on GTA02 since before I got here last December, it didn't work at all until a series of deathmatches with it. ~ The biggest deathmatch of all to clean and fix it is going on at the minute on 2.6.26 branch here and it exposed the biggest underlying problem for us which is Glamo behaviours. Assuming I kill it before it kills me, we will have a far less racy and more complete suspend and resume ordering situation then. Other projects using Linux also have that problem of partition overwrite on resume, but I suspect resume ordering and racing is behind their problems too. When we clear that in the 2.6.26 branch we stand a chance to synthesize random or moving delays in resume action and try to flush out where it comes from. - -Andy -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Fedora - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkicG6cACgkQOjLpvpq7dMoYOACdHxsTW9deFxs0p6xlP99mbPbk 788An3r++lSrpASbliku2hSP5nROaKbz =Hgum -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
