Re: [beagleboard] Re: 3 proposed patches for next 3.8.13-bone5x update
I'm using wheezy. GNU sed version 4.2.1. I see what's happening now. It looks like the uEnv.txt doesn't have quotes around the kernel version at all, so there shouldn't be any inner quotes. The only reason my kernel update worked was because the kernel version was the same, so the sed didn't need to catch a match and update the uname_r. It looks like single or double outer quotes work fine.

Re: [beagleboard] Re: 3 proposed patches for next 3.8.13-bone5x update
Thanks Robert. I've started using the 3.14 kernel (although the less bleeding edge bone8 version), and I built a custom dtb to enable both the 4Dcape-43t and a secondary non-pin-conflicting uart using your bb-kernel repo. It's worked beautifully. Apologies to Scott for not being able to follow up on his 3.8 kernel patch. I ran into issues when using apt to install the ti-rXX kernels. The apt-get install command fails due to single quotes in an sed command in a zz-uenv file. We tried to get it to run by replacing the single quotes around older_kernel and latest_kernel with ' ' ', but then something broke on reset, and I forget now what errors we were seeing. It's possible these issues have been resolved recently. I'll try installing the latest kernel sometime when it isn't past 3am. :) We've been using omap-image-builder, and setup-sdcard.sh exits when a -ti- kernel is specified. This is another reason, albeit possibly misguided, that we shied away from using the -ti- kernels and stuck to the bone kernels. I'm not sure what the difference is? One more comment about our adventures with omap-image-builder. We added usbmount to the package list in omap-image-builder, and usbmount uses /media/usbX as mount points, so it creates those directories. The init-eMMC-flasher-v3 excludes /media/* from being rsync'ed so we added the necessary mkdir -p's after the relevant rsync to fix this. Thanks again for all of your hard work.

Alex: This conversation seemed to have gotten lost in the myriad of e-mails I get per day. Sorry for the delayed reply. Disable the HDMI interface and enable the 4 LCD, by putting this line into /boot/uboot/uEnv.txt: optargs=capemgr.disable_partno=BB-BONELT-HDMI,BB-BONELT-HDMIN capemgr.enable_partno=BB-BONE-LCD4-01 If you have an existing optargs= line, comment it out with a hash mark, e.g., #optargs =. I don't think the bpp parameter makes much difference to the frame buffer device or the X server. Let me know how this work out! -scooter On Fri, Aug 15, 2014 at 4:02 PM, Alexander Hayman misterhay...@gmail.com wrote: I checked the difference between the dts's.

I should add that with the patch applied, the modesetting driver works fine, but fbdev has the squished image/mangled colors. In my application, I can't use modesetting because we need to rotate the screen. It's been humbling to see all of the work y'all have put in to this project. I'd appreciate any insight you might have. Do I need to modify a dts file?

[beagleboard] Re: 3 proposed patches for next 3.8.13-bone5x update
I should add that the patch causes the fbdev graphics driver to fail (squished image, blue colors). The modesetting driver works fine. We have to use fbdev because modesetting doesn't allow screen rotation. Do I need to change the device tree property to get this screen to work? I would prefer to use your stock kernel. Any guidance would be really appreciated. It's been humbling to see all of the work that y'all have put in to this.
