2009-10-07 Thread Alan Tull
I didn't see any ALSA messages in your boot log so it isn't initializing
fully.  A section of my bootlog is below.  Have you tried it with the
sound driver built in?  All my testing is using the imx51_defconfig that
is in your kernel tree, so the audio is built in, not as modules.

I tested with on babbage 2.5 fsl rootfs (not ubuntu) and the audio is
coming up and functioning.

2009-10-07 Thread Alan Tull
Thanks.

My guess: two types of problems at this point: the changes to how the
rootfs handles audio and issues with the audio driver as a module.  I'll
debug the audio driver module problems.

For now, I recommend you try building the driver into the rootfs so that
you can debug the rootfs issues.  I will not likely have much input on
that.

Debugging using fsl rootfs, I see the audio work as a module just fine.
I get these messages when it loads:

Check using 'lsmod' to make sure all the modules got loaded:

r...@freescale ~$ lsmod

So I suggest that you do 'lsmod' to make sure all the modules got
loaded.  If they did, then it is rootfs issues.

Regarding the rename, I am sympathetic and the case you are making for
it is sound (pardon the pun).   I just don't have the time.  Keep in
mind that it is one platform for you (imx-3stack-sgtl5000) but for me it
is seven (sgtl5000, ak4647, ak5702, etc).  Also if I rename all those
file, it makes it harder to diff between 2.6.28 and 2.6.31.

2009-10-07 Thread Alan Tull
Are you plugged into the right jack?

If you are used to the Babbage1 board, it's easy to plug the headphone
into the wrong jack.  The headset and headphone jacks swapped somewhere
between BBG1 and BBG2.5.  They weren't even labeled on BBG1, but they're
labeled on BBG2.5 (in tiny, tiny print).

The jack closer to the corner of the board (marked HDPHONE) is for stereo 
headphones.
The jack next to it is for a headset with one channel of audio and a mic 
(HDSET).

Regarding DVI monitors, I strongly that recommend everybody remove those
two resistors (#11) even if sound seems to be working.  The real problem
is that some I2C reads/writes will fail, so you could get sound that is
*mostly* working.

2009-10-04 Thread Alan Tull
I'm attaching two patches to give you what we have of the audio port.
These patches apply cleanly to your fsl-imx51 branch.
Playback and record work.

There is an issue with your regulator stuff that breaks things somewhat.
You will see a boot error that occurs when imx-3stack-sgtl5000.c calls 
regulator_get.  That's
something that needs to get fixed in your regulator stuff.  Audio functionality 
will be broken until this is fixed as the audio does not completely initialize.

There is another issue with a loud pop happening when boot up occurs.
This is because the 'Line In Jack' widget is on all the time.  I'm
working on fixing this.  As is, audio works, but will never completely
power down, so it becomes an issue with power consumption also.

Just to be completely clear about the regulator issue, I have attached a
patch.  This is not a solution so I named it something that no normal
human would consider merging and pushing.  This patch puts #if 0 around
the regulator initialization part if imx-3stack-sgtl5000's probe so that
the audio driver can finish initializing.  This is just for
demonstration and debug purposes so please don't push it.  The real
solution is in the regulator code.

2009-10-02 Thread Alan Tull
Some boards have I2C errors when a DVI monitor is plugged in.  This can
prevent register access to the sgtl5000 audio codec when the audio
driver is initializing.  The symptom is that you will see in the boot
messages some I2C errors and a message that it has not successfully id'd
the sgtl5000.

The workaround is to take two resistors off the board (this is OK for
babbage 2.0 and 2.5): R284 and R287.  They are located on the top side
of the board about 1cm from the DVI connector on either side of U33.

This will cut the I2C connection to the DVI connection so that it will
not be able to read the EDID.  So specifying the video mode in the
kernel command line is necessary if you are not already doing so, i.e.
video=mxcfb:1024x768...@60.

[Bug 396716] Re: [ARM] default user audio goes to /dev/null

2009-09-08 Thread Alan Tull
*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 420447 ***
https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/420447

9.04 has audio support.

This is not a duplicate.  the bug 420447 appears to be a bug in the
2.6.30 kernel port.  It builds fine in the 2.6.28 kernel and the release
9.04 has sgtl5000 audio built in the kernel.  In fact, if I do the group
changes I listed above, audio works without rebuilding the kernel.

So audio is there in the kernel and it does not get detected properly.
Maybe my methods of fixing it are wrong.  But if the group defaults are
right, that does not explain why audio did not come up by default on the
9.04 default install.

[Bug 407119] Re: audio stuttering during desktop-login.org but only just after login

2009-07-31 Thread Alan Tull
It appears that it is the vorbis decode that gets behind.

If I change the login sound to be a 7 second sine uncompressed wav file
in the Sound Preferences, the sine wave plays flawlessly.

So I think this is a priority problem where the vorbis decoder gets
behind because too much stuff is happening at login.

Is there some way of adjusting priority so that decode gets higher cpu
priority at this time?  Are there other experiments I could be doing
that would help pin this down or optimise the configuration?  How does
priority for things like audio decoders get set?  Is the playback going
through gstreamer at this time?

[Bug 407119] [NEW] audio stuttering during desktop-login.org but only just after login

2009-07-30 Thread Alan Tull
Public bug reported:

Platform: Babbage 2.0
Release: Jaunty with all the current upgrades.  I uninstalled pulseaudio to 
save cpu.  I also patched the audio driver to increase the minimal audio period 
size to 2K.  Patch is attached.

Symptom:
1. Log onto Ubuntu.  The desktop-login.org sound will play with huge amounts of 
stuttering.
2. There is no stuttering if you play same file later.  Open the Sound 
Preferences app, click on the Sounds tab, click on the  arrow next to 'Login'. 
 The desktop-login.org will play _without_ stuttering.

What I figured out so far:
At first I thought this was due to SSI underruns.  So I fixed the underruns, 
but the stuttering remained.  The app that is playing the audio was requesting 
a 64 byte audio buffer period.  This is the minimum audio buffer period that 
the audio driver allows.   That was causing SSI underruns.  So I fixed that in 
the audio driver, I made the minimum audio period 2K bytes.  The patch is 
attached (1 line changed in patch).

But the error remains.  It only happens during the initial login.  I
think this is new behavior for Jaunty but can't prove that at this time.

[Bug 396716] [NEW] default user audio goes to /dev/null

2009-07-07 Thread Alan Tull
Public bug reported:

Release: Ubuntu 9.04 on Babbage1

I'm not changing anything from the 9.04 release.

After install, audio is defaulting to /dev/null
The volume control applet's heading says Volume Control: Playback: Null Output 
(PulseAudio Mixer)

The problem is that the default user that was created during install
isn't a member of the audio group.  Same can be said for video.

Default groups after a install for the install user are:
ubuntu(the default user was named ubuntu in my case) adm dialout cdrom plugdev 
lpadmin admin sambashare

Doing this added my default user ubuntu to the audio and video groups to 
enable audio and video playback.

In the Babbage1 case, the kernel, rootfs, and initrd are unchanged.  I
have changed redboot only.  So no kernel config changes or changes to
the initrd scripts/modules.  ifconfig shows a loopback device in the
failing case.  And networking is working.

In the Babbage2 case there is no initrd, so yes something is not being
set up and the kernel config is different.  For now I'm focusing on
Babbage1 case as there are less variables there.  I will follow the
DebuggingProgramCrash proceedure and post the results.

I also have replicated the bug using the vmlinuz and initrd from /boot.
I copied them to a host machine, used gzip -d to decompress the

2009-06-29 Thread Alan Tull
Yeah, that's fine, I agree it is good to be real exact about what
changed and what didn't, so I'm totally fine with any questions you have
on my setup.

Are you seeing the failure of the applets after login?

I started down the path of DebuggingProgramCrash, not sure which program
to pursue as the crashing one.  Also difficult since by the time the
system is up it has already crashed.  I guess if I add a serial console
to the exec line I can set up gdb to monitor something before I log into
gnome.  Hopefully that will be early enough.  Any suggestions on which
to tell gdb to monitor?

My networking is totally working.  I must have a MAC address since DHCP
is giving me an IP address.  I ran ifconfig  ifcfg-bad on a failing
system and ifconfig  ifcfg-good after going back to the happy redboot.
No real diff between the two files (except # of bytes/packages tx/rx).
So I even got the same IP address from DHCP.

We are looking to see what changed in RedBoot to cause this.  The system is 
functional and stable, networking works, etc so any insights on what could 
cause these applets to crash on an otherwise apparently functional system would 
be helpful.

To reproduce on Babbage1, take the Ubuntu 9.04 release and change the
redboot.  I have attached our 200925 redboot image.  To update the
redboot on the mmc card from a host (if it is /dev/sdc):

# dd if=mx51_babbage_redboot-no-padding.bin of=/dev/sdc bs=512 seek=2

Babbage2:
Release: Ubuntu 9.04 with an updated kernel image, no initrd, updated redboot
If we boot with an ethernet cable plugged in, no error.  Booting without the 
ethernet cable causes all the notification area applets to crash on login.

10 message windows that say variations of The panel encountered
- a problem while loading OAFIID:GNOME_ClockApplet.  Other applets that 
crashed were: WorkspaceSwitcherApplet, TrashApplet, WindowListApplet,
