Sandisk extreme 32GB and 16GB dont initialize in XO-1.75

2012-10-07 Thread George Hunt
Hi all,

I've been working on a XO-1.75 as XS project. The smallest form factor XS
would use an SD card for School Server storage. So I purchased fast, large
SD cards from Amazon.  These cards work in my mac, and they initialize, and
appear to work on the XO-1.5 running build 860.

The XO-1.75 software is build 21 (12.1.0), firmware is Q4D17.

The error message in the /var/log/messages is:
Oct  7 11:18:44 schoolserver kernel: [157819.81] sdhci: Switching to
1.8V signalling voltage failed, retrying with S18R set to 0
Oct  7 11:18:44 schoolserver kernel: [157819.876896] mmc0: error -110
whilst initialising SD card

In my reading about SD cards, I discover that some SD cards are not
genuine. I have looked at /sys/... and the manufacturing number was 003
which is appropriate for sandisk.

This error message is mentioned in
Ticket #11736

I'd be happy to give more info, or do testing.

George

Xo1.5 crashes

2012-10-07 Thread Aaron Bedford
So when i plug one usb device into the xo be it an ipod or a cell phone
while running on battery the screen goes white and the laptop reboots. It
works fine when plugged in charging though. I just wanted to let you all
know what im experiencing. I believe the devices are drawing too much
current from the laptop and forcing a reboot. It doesnt matter which usb
port i plug it into.

SD Card bug? XO 1.75 (Repeat post)

2012-10-07 Thread RJV
Bug?

A SD card, with a .Rpm file, crashes the XO whereas any external device
should only be used as a booting device if there is a boot image in it or
is  this an assumption in XO?

I re-flashed the XO but the Linux installation needs to be re-done.
Thoughts or any past experiences, anyone, on this?

Re: Xo1.5 crashes

2012-10-07 Thread Mikus Grinbergs

Since I don't own a cell phone, I've never tried charging from an XO.

My external USB storage devices are all self-powered; and my other USB 
devices (adapters, microscopes, keyboards, etc.) are all low-power 
devices.  In about four years of using XO-1.5s, I haven't ever had the 
XO-1.5 crash when I dynamically plugged any USB device in.

 when I dynamically plugged any USB device in.


I experienced this a couple of years ago in SF when doing my myriad of
gadget tests,  Hence, the reason I bought my powered USB hub is that I
(more than once) plugged in an external USB powered USB mini CD drive and
the 1.5 screen went slowly all weird then white.  If I remember, I was
informed that anything that draws more than 500mA kinda breaks USB rules-
and that would include iPhones and iPads.  Using a double dongle tries to
kluge it on PC's, but this doesn't have any better effect on the 1.5 -
something to do with power flowing downhill. I think I was also told that
it doesn't happen on the XO 1 because of the presence of some diode or
sumpin that keeps the USB device from draining out too fast.

Since I now (like Mikus) use powered hubs for anything that needs more than
500mA of power, I have forgotten the exact explanation.

I believe it was Richard who explained it to me, and basically told me to
cease and desist at the risk of doing damage to the 1.5.  Perhaps he can
chime in again on this.

Cheers,

KG

We would need to know if your XO is in developer mode or locked down.

 I re-flashed the XO but the Linux installation needs to be re-done.
Huh ?  Were you running something other than the OLPC build ?

 Thoughts or any past experiences, anyone, on this?
Shouldn't happen.   One possibility is that some XO-1's weren't as robust as 
they
should have, and many SD cards push the standard.   Try another card if 
possible,
or run some data tests of the SD card to test this.

Installed, quick test. You're right, the ebook trigger isn't
happening. And I cannot type with it -- Write won't show input from
the OSK, home view search box won't show input from OSK.

The touchscreen scale_{x,y} defaults are killing me. They make the UI
_very_ awkward to use -- I average 2.5 touches before I can hit a
moderately large button (next, or the stop icon). This is because
the offset the driver applies shifts in every spot of the screen, it's
a devilish thing.

Paul, can we crank those defaults way down? Or add a dampening / ramp
up effect to the offset that is flat in most of the screen, but
quickly ramps up near edges? (If you don't believe me, install OS5 and
use Sugar with the touchscreen for a while).

as i said the other day, the kernel driver should either do no scaling
by default, or it should make every pixel on the screen touchable with
a standard pointing instrument (i.e., a stylus).  the latter is what
it does now -- perhaps exaggerated.  but any other midway decision
between those extremes (which i agree is probably the right thing)
constitutes policy, and therefore belongs at user level.

which is to say, i think the correct defaults belong in olpc-utils,
along with the countless other XO useablility tweaks that are already
there.

(once that change is firmly in place, i'll probably revert the driver to
default to no scaling at all.)

See if interposing a __powered__ hub between the XO-1.5 and the arduino 
will make a difference.




WARNING:  I have encountered powered USB hubs that have VIOLATED the USB 
specification - they can emit power on the SMALL socket that normally is 
used for the USB cable that connects to the computer.
It is my understanding that only the LARGE sockets are supposed to be 
able to supply power to the connected device.


[I do not know what kind of USB socket the arduino has.]


IIRC, Richard warned about connecting an XO's USB socket to any USB 
device where that devices's USB socket can emit power (that sets up a 
condition where a non-XO device can try to send power to the XO -- which 
is a no_no).

Best way to use SD card to increase XO-1 space

We have around 4000 XO-1s deployed around the country but we are still
stuck with Sugar .82.1 . We do have upgrade plan but not anytime soon. Our

  Auckland Testing Summary 29 September 2012
  Who: John, Oliver, Tabitha, Tom
  Testing build 44 11.3.1-au
 
  XO-1.75:
  Browse 192.3!! Rocking like it’s January 2010!
  Based on Firefox 3.6.23, 5 security releases made since!
  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firefox_3.6#cite_note-41
  Crashes if you visit large image, previously reported as olpc #11569
  Google docs complains browser is out of date.
  Can create google docs unlike latest Browse
  Can open links in new tabs unlike latest Browse
  It’s quite slow, get slow script warning on wikipedia!
 
 
  noted
 
 
  Somehow we managed to download a new webkit browse.xo and install it on
  one laptop. This version of browse didn’t work at all. We got this
 version
  by downloading on an x86 laptop from a page with a big list of versions
  (sorry, we don’t know exactly where). Shouldn’t the XO refuse to install
  something that won’t actually work with it?
 
 
  The new webkit based browse.xo is sugar 0.96 or greater, presently there
 is
  no way to stop users from shooting themselves in the foot by installing a
  bundle that is not supported on their version of sugar.

 Hmm. I thought activities.sugarlabs.org was a bit smarter than that.
 That said, the bundle could have come from elsewhere.


Well it is if you use browse to view activities.sugarlabs.org, but I
suspect the activity was downloaded to a usbkey on a different machine then
auto installed by launching it from the usbkey. Think the real fix might
run deep into sugar's inner workings, some discussion at
