have you tried "ifup ethx" (with x the number of the new interface)?
I've been told it is eth on the host now, but it doesn't work for me
either ...

Re: USB Kernel problem with latest SHR unstable

2009-04-23 Thread Denis Johnson
Sorry to reply to my own post. Issue not quite as described.

Between reflashing from 23rd April to 9th, one of the attempts at
connecting also involved a reboot of my Ubuntu host. Which still
failed to allow me to connect with the Kernel from the 2rd. Reflashing
with the kernel from the 9th then worked. However, repeating the
exercise as described bellow, also fails on the Kernel from the 9th.
So something else is still at play here and it may be Ubuntu/host
related.

Perhaps you could try looking in /var/log/syslog on Ubuntu?

If unsure :-
Unplug the USB, run 'tail -f /var/log/syslog' then plug it back in and
post the output to the list.

I don't know why, but the interface name on my host changed. For me it's now 
eth1.

dmesg looks like this when i plug in my neo:

usb 8-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 5 

usb 8-1: New USB device found, idVendor=1457, idProduct=5122
usb 8-1: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=0
usb 8-1: Product: RNDIS/Ethernet Gadget
usb 8-1: Manufacturer: Linux 2.6.29-rc3 with s3c2410_udc
usb 8-1: configuration #1 chosen from 2 choices
eth1 (cdc_ether): not using net_device_ops yet
eth1: register 'cdc_ether' at usb-:00:1d.3-1, CDC Ethernet Device, 
00:1f:11:01:72:33
eth1: no IPv6 routers present

so if u look at the beginning of the last three lines you see the interface 
name.

greets
Thomas

Please post here output of /sbin/ip link show

It would be much easier for everyone than just guessing the name of the
network device.

On my Ubuntu 8.10 the shr-unstable behaves exactly as described in the link. 
The X depends on your number of network cards. I use a notebook which has a 
cable and a Wifi ethernet adapter named eth0 and eth1. However the Neo becomes 
eth3 as it connects. I collected the information from the Wiki about USB 
Networking in a script, which i use until I managed to integrate the Neo 
better into Ubuntu and it's various network configuration mechanisms. The 
script has a variable for the interface as the first line. Adapt it to your 
needs and run it after you have connected your Neo to the USB port.
I use "ifconfig" to check out the known network cards and their configuration.

On my Fedora 10 laptop nothing appears to happen anymore when I plug
in the Neo.  No messages in /var/log/messages, nothing in dmesg.

I am booting from U-Boot (in NAND) though, the post referenced above
mentions SHR-testing (the distro on the SD I'm booting from) behaving
differently when booted from QI.

I get the same result on my Xubuntu laptop so I fear that something
else got broken with the opkg update, opkg upgrade I performed.

So far I haven't found a description of what is needed on the side of
the FreeRunner itself.

When I check ifconfig -a on the FreeRunner I see an eth0 interface
with no IP address, eth0:avah alias with IP 169.254.7.134 and the
loopback device.
ip link show shows the loopback device and the eth0 interface.

When I check the /etc/network/interfaces it contains a comment right
before the auto usb0 section saying:
# Ethernet/RNDIS gadget (g_ether)
# ... or on host side, usbnet and random hwaddr

ifup usb0 retruns:
ifup: interface usb0 already configured
but ifconfig usb0 returns:
ifconfig usb0: error fetching interface information: Device not found

modprobe g_ether on the FreeRunner fails to locate the module so maybe
some modules are missing?  Or is this module no longer needed?

loading the usbnet module on either the Fedora or the Xubuntu laptop
does not help.

One final note: the hardware is fine, when I start FDOM from the
device's main memory it is still recognized.

Thanks in advance.

Bram

is this related to a discrepancy in the version of the modules? i.e.
the modules not being the same as the version of the kernel?

it's been pointed out to me that the kernel is version 2.6.29-rc3,
while the modules are apparently version -rc2

where can i get an older version of the kernel - the only one on the
shr site appears to be the latest, i.e. 22nd april?

well, i fixed it - i can now ssh into my freerunner.

i'm not entirely sure what it was, but i think it was related to some
fiddling i did with depmod and modprobe on the phone. i'm guessing
some usb modules weren't loaded by default

ok, but how did you get to fiddle on the phone? Do you mean you
actually used a terminal app, did some kind of modprobe on the phone
and it started working? And now you don't remember what it was ... does
this mean after the next reboot, you don't have ssh access anymore?
Do the SHR people test these images? I've been told every time again
it's the host (ethX instead of usb0), but I seriously believe something
is wrong with the generated images ... my host fedora 10 system doesn't
give any output in /var/log/messages when I plug in the phone with
newer images (any "old" image reacts just fine), while it does give me
info when I boot the phone in the NOR menu to flash it.
To prove it myself, I will *again* flash my phone with the latest
image/kernel found in http://build.shr-project.org/shr-unstable/images/

ok, I just tested this kernel and it seems to be ok now:  it is eth1,
and I've adapted my qtextended install script a bit, so it doesn't use
the alias for the "rm" command.
For the record, I tried from this url
http://build.shr-project.org/shr-unstable/images/om-gta02/, the
following rootfs and uImage:
uImage-2.6.29-oe10+gitr119800+0b9d21bf5d05d5dd909425a67a8be2eb1c1fc579-r3.4-om-gta02.bin
openmoko-shr-lite-image-glibc-ipk--20090423-om-gta02.rootfs.jffs2

Although I don't like the following kernel messages, could somebody
explain these?

Apr 26 00:26:20 om-gta02 user.err kernel: [21474817.485000] HDQ error: 1
Apr 26 00:26:20 om-gta02 user.info kernel: [21474817.50] HDQ
responds again

try dmesg, you'll see lots of errors from it trying to recognise the phone

when you try to connect to the phone, my understanding is it's talking
to a kernel module on the phone. the relevant module was not loaded
afaics. i ran lsmod on the phone, and nothing was returned. i think i
ran depmod, then modprobe ehci_usb (or maybe ehci_usb) and depmod
again, then plugged it in, and lsusb (on the laptop) revealed it as
being connected (it wasn't previously shown)

i could always see the phone fine while it was booted to nor

   The SHR packager forgot to run depmod before tarring up the rootfs.
Alternatively, the initscripts should run depmod on startup.

no, there was nothing wrong with the port or cable - someone at shr
hadn't run depmod before creating the tarball, and the modules for
communicating over usb weren't being loaded. if you run depmod on your
phone, it should clear it up

It didn't when I tried this.  I ended up flashing a newer version of
SHR-testing (2009/04/22 if I remember corretly) and that one did work
out of the box.

That is untill I hit the "suspend" problem this morning...

I apologise for reporting this and then disappearing. Sometimes there
are just not enough hours in the day.

I just want to confirm that a combination of running 'depmod' in
terminal on the phone and also using 'ifconfig -a'  on my host (now
upgraded to Ubuntu 9.04), I found that when the phone is plugged in
that I got an 'eth1' listed so I changed my scripts accordingly and I
can now SSH in. I have not rebooted the neo or my host yet but if
anything changes I will report here.

Thanks, to all for your replies and assist.

cheers Denis
