Re: [beagleboard] Re: 3 proposed patches for next 3.8.13-bone5x update

2014-09-23 Thread Alexander Hayman
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

2014-09-19 Thread Alexander Hayman
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.

I think we can safely enable this now. Since the flasher is running at

external device, so only the base /media/dir should be present while
it's flashing. The whole point of disabling /media/ from rsync, when
we ran after the board fully booted, there was a risk the user had a
big full usb drive plugged in and was mounted to /media/, this would

 Would it then make sense that the image is scaled and the colors are

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!

I can arrange to have one of the 4D Systems 4 LCD's sent to you.  If
that would help.  I could also do the kernel testing here to help
isolate the offender.  I should be able to apply the patches one at a
time and do a quick partial recompile after each patch is applied?

To answer your question about the DTB, I was just using whatever DTB's
are used in the Debian build generated via Robert Nelson's
omap-image-builder.

Re: [beagleboard] Re: 3 proposed patches for next 3.8.13-bone5x update

2014-08-13 Thread Scott Michel
Alexander:

Short answer: It works for me. :-)

It turns out that a colleague has an Element-14 4.3 LCD cape here at work.
I just booted up after changing uEnv.txt. Hard to work on the BBB at that
screen resolution, but I don't have the image compression that you
experienced.

I'm not at the most recent tag on Robert's tree, but I could test it later
this week. But given that the E-14 4.3 LCD cape works, it makes me wonder
if the problem isn't with the DTB's pixel and dot clocking params?

Now, I'll admit that I compiled my kernel with the 4.7.3 20130328
prerelease compiler, so that could have made a difference if there were a
compiler bug:

I should add that with the patch applied, the modesetting driver works

I can't use modesetting because we need to rotate the screen.

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.

 custom touchscreen filtering. 

 I'm pretty sure we fixed the adc issue in: 

 https://github.com/RobertCNelson/bb-kernel/commit/3a66618d3bbd86a4e7655e07bc48838fb967d5ed
  

 So it shouldn't be needed anymore now..

 I've attached three patches for consideration in the Robert Nelson's
 3.8.13-bone5x update, all of which are independent of each other (i.e., you
 can patch your kernel with any one of them, separate from the others):

 0001-am335x-features

 Detect AM335x-specific features and CPU version. Doesn't do anything
 significant, other than accurately report the CPU and SGX, L2 cache presence
 in the bootup dmesg output.


 0002-element14-bb-view-lcd-capes

  Add Element14's BB-VIEW LCD cape device trees to firmware/capes.


 0003-sitara_rb_swap_workaround

 Create a workaround to the TI Sitara red/blue swap erratum through device
 tree properties, 'bgrx_16bpp' and 'bgrx_24bpp'. The 'bgrx_16bpp' property
 swaps red and blue if 16bpp color depth is used and the LCD cape itself
 swaps red and blue at higher color depths (i.e., the cape designer fixed
 the problem by swapping signals). The 'bgrx_24bpp' property swaps red and
 blue at the 24bpp color depth, which addresses TI's erratum.


 Also, the tilcdc LCD driver queries the panel's panel-info/bpp device tree
 property to find the preferred BPP when initializing the console
 framebuffer. This was originally hardcoded into the driver at 16bpp. If the
 panel says that it wants 32bpp, the framebuffer initializes to a preferred
 32bpp.


 I've been testing these changes relative to Robert's linux-dev 3.8.15-bone53
 tag. They may apply cleanly against earlier tags, but I can't guarantee they
 will.

 I'm sure I have canonical kernel source formatting issues; comments, testing
 and suggestions are welcome (and advocacy for inclusion in Robert's
 linux-dev git repo also helpful.)

Thanks!  They are all queue'd up:

https://github.com/RobertCNelson/bb-kernel/commit/5e50ae5c219b52bf70193bffdef7c07c8b26b90f

Just have to run a few checks on the lcd3/lcd7 as this did revert the
custom touchscreen filtering.

Wow. That was fast. My e-mail is in the patches, so... I'm sure the bug 
reports will trickle in...
