Re: Flashing Ultra OBP
Ben, the flash utility is in the flashprom package on vger cvs. Do you have access and can you put it somewhere, or do I need to send it to you? /~\ Eddie C. Dost ASCII ribbon campaign\ / [EMAIL PROTECTED]against HTML mail X / \

ATI Mach64 Problem
Hi, I have an ATI mach64 VT about which Linux says: atyfb: mach64VTA4 (ATI264VT) [0x5654 rev 0x40] 2M SDRAM, 14.31818 MHz XTAL, 200 MHz PLL, 67 MHz MCLK This card seems not to do any byte swapping whatever the settings for the apertures in the MEM_CNTL register are. Does anyone have any documentation specific to this card, or any experience with this special card? I have another card which Linux says about: atyfb: mach64VTA4 (ATI264VT) [0x5654 rev 0x40] 2M DRAM, 14.31818 MHz XTAL, 200 MHz PLL, 63 Mhz MCLK This second card works perfectly well. Any ideas anyone? /~\ Eddie C. Dost ASCII ribbon campaign \ / [EMAIL PROTECTED]against HTML mailX / \

The current Debian packages use a new patch from Dave Miller that mmap's /proc/bus/pci/XX/YY.Z. Seems it doesn't work on your card (no idea why). Yes, and the patch is completely fine. Does anyone have any info on that particular card? - It does not seem to be doing big-endian mode on the upper aperture, I know what I expect, as I do have a very similar card, which works correctly. /~\ Eddie C.

XFree86 4.1.0 on UltraSPARC 2.4.x
Hi, did anyone run XFree86 4.1.0 on UltraSPARC with kernel 2.4.x, yet? I have kernel 2.4.18-pre19 from vger CVS running, and have installed XFree86 4.1.0 from woody. My machine is an UltraAX (not AXi, i.e. has Psycho PCI, not ABP). If I leave on write_combine mmaps in arch/sparc64/kernel/pci.c, the Xserver will bring the machine to a complete halt (hard to debug with X taking over the screen). If I turn write_combine off, and use Option sw_cursor on for the ATI driver in XF86Config-4, X runs, but colors are wrong in areas not drawn through acceleration features. Gray becomes yellow, so it looks to me like an endianess problem. If I turn of Option accel all colors are yellowish. Anyone seen this before? I ask, as I, as a kernel hacker, plan to track this down, but maybe this is a known configuration problem I am seeing... Thanks for any pointers, /~\ Eddie C.

Re: installing 2.2r3 on a E420R memory issues
When trying to do a 'boot cdrom s install' on a 420R w/ 4x450 4GB RAM, it's giving me a memory mapping error, suggesting i use the option 'mem=xxxM'. Problem is I can't figure out how to use it. I've tried: boot cdrom s mem=4096M install boot cdrom s install mem=4096M The error means 4Gb is too much to handle on Linux, try boot cdrom s install mem=512M Eddie C. Dost [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Installing debian on a SunBlade 100
just to complete my last posts. OK. I have compile a new kernel, and the garbage on the screen is away. - With my config, I have a black on white console, not the graphic console with the small Penguin on the top left. - I have manualy created the device for the USB (without, no mouse on X) using: (cd /dev; ./MAKEDEV input) - The graphical interface is very slow (but I'm sure it will be a lot better when we can re-activate the accel). Great, this feature still work ;-) Hehe, you unconfigured all video console support the machine could possibly use. The fallback on sparc64 is to use the OBP provided console, if nothing else could be configured. So you know the OBP can handle the graphics chip, but you knew this before... Actually this is not really what we wanted to debug ;-) But just wait what David says about the config to use, and exactly what kind of kernel to build, this will get us/you further. Thanks for all your debugging help, anyway. Eddie C. Dost [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Zilog 8530 maxspeed?
hm, but what about 57600bps? modems support it, all SW also. Should I believe that Z8530 can do 38400, 76800 but NOT 57600bps? With Siemens 82532 serial controller you can do all speeds w/o any problem (except 76800 of course :) The Z8530 has no problems with that, but with a clock input of 4.9152MHz as on sparcs you can reach 57600 with 12.5% error, namely with a BRG divider setting of 1. This will give an overall post division by ((1 + 2) * 2) = 6, yielding a bitrate of 4915200 / 16 / 6 = 51200. Compared to that you will get 76800 with a divider setting of 0 like this: ((0 + 2) * 2 = 4, 4915200 / 16 / 4 = 76800. It's not only a problem of speed and fifo depth, but also a problem of integer mathematics. The SAB82532 has an input clock of 29.4912MHz on the Ultras, and also a much more flexible BRG divider section, so it can hit more common baud rates up to B921600 without problems (yes, I tested this).

Re: Zilog 8530 maxspeed?
Hi all! Has somebody succeeded in using speeds higher than 38400bps through Zilog 8530 serial controller (i.e. almost all sun4m machines). I have no problems with 115200bps on sun4u with Siemens 82532, but it seems 38400 is max for Z8530. Or am I missing something? The chip can do 76800bps, with an error rate depending on CPU speed behind it. But this is not really worth anything, as modems don't support that speed. This all depends on the the input clock given to the chip on sun boards. You can get faster as that by letting the chip do different bit samplings, i.e. only 4 sample interval per bit, but this dramatically increases the error rate on async interfaces (which makes it unusable with modems, again). All in all 38400 is it. Eddie C. Dost [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: running SunOS4 binaries
Does anyone know the secret to running SunOS4 binaries? I've RTFAQed and rebuilt the kernel with the relevant bits. It looks for and fails to find module `binfmt-0108' when trying to exec such binaries. This is on sun4u with the 2.2.14 kernel. It is trying to load the a.out binfmt module. Did you enable a.out in your kernel? Eddie C. Dost [EMAIL PROTECTED]
