| rsavoye | I was just trying to install Lucid on a BeagleBoard XM, but it fails in two places | 01:54 |
|---|---|---|
| rsavoye | if says it can't load kernel modules, so of course later it can't find the MMC card to install to... | 01:55 |
| rcn-ee | rsavoye, which kernel? ubuntu's? | 01:58 |
| rsavoye | I was trying the lucid one off the BeagleBoardUbuntu page | 01:59 |
| rsavoye | although maverick would be better | 01:59 |
| rcn-ee | if it's my kernel, it has to be atleast 2.6.34+ | 01:59 |
| rsavoye | I'll try the prebuilt maverick image from the same page | 02:00 |
| rcn-ee | the maverick alpha-2 listed there will boot. ;) i've tested it on my xm.. just testing an alpha-3 for next week.. | 02:01 |
| rsavoye | cool, it's still downloading | 02:01 |
| rsavoye | will it default to the serial port ? | 02:01 |
| rcn-ee | yeap ttyS2... | 02:02 |
| rsavoye | I need to get a HDMI DVI-D adapter | 02:02 |
| rcn-ee | it's actually both, it's setup to load ttyS2 with login and tty0 (hdmi) | 02:02 |
| rsavoye | even better :-) | 02:02 |
| rsavoye | I just mostly need to compile a a bunch of stuff to track down some problems | 02:03 |
| rcn-ee | the big issue with that kernel thou, the xm will only run about 500mhz, i didn't fix that till my 2.6.35-rc stuff.. i had one user have problems running at full speed 1Ghz he had to back down to 800mhz, still figuring out TI's voltage change stuff. | 02:03 |
| rsavoye | ouch, I was looking forward to 1Ghz :-) | 02:03 |
| rsavoye | since I have piles of compiling to do | 02:04 |
| rcn-ee | my works.. ;) but not all.. this patch will fix the issue.. the problem not all the infrasture is in mainline, so i'm cherry picking still... http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~beagleboard-kernel/%2Bjunk/2.6.35-devel/annotate/head:/patches/arago-project/0001-OMAP3630-PM-Update-for-OPP-1GHz.patch | 02:05 |
| rsavoye | I'm having similar problems... | 02:07 |
| rsavoye | I assume it'll be fixed RSN anyway ? | 02:07 |
| rsavoye | my MMC shows up as /dev/mmcblk0p1, so I assume I'll need the other setup script ? | 02:09 |
| rcn-ee | we will see, it'll defintelly get fixed faster as the xm's start shipping..(beagle group email metioned new memory in..) | 02:09 |
| rsavoye | so they fixed the memory problem ? | 02:10 |
| rcn-ee | no.. alpha-2, does not have the issue... That bug came out after i released the 10.04 image in "may"... it takes time to upload 70mb's on my slow cable.. | 02:10 |
| rsavoye | ah... | 02:10 |
| rcn-ee | i'm not sure, as i have one of the very early 256mb models.. but it sounds like they got good 512mb memory now.. | 02:11 |
| rsavoye | the unit I just got has 512mb | 02:12 |
| rcn-ee | yeap, if it's marked with an "A" on the corner it's a production unit.. | 02:12 |
| rsavoye | mine doesn't have an A, it came from TI with zero docs | 02:14 |
| rcn-ee | beagle's don't come with docs.. ;) everything is on beagleboard.org (well the schematic's aren't up yet) | 02:15 |
| rsavoye | I'm used to getting hardware before docs anyway. :-) | 02:18 |
| rsavoye | copying to the SD... | 02:18 |
| rsavoye | rcn-ee: root passwd ? | 02:22 |
| rsavoye | it obviously booted fine | 02:22 |
| rcn-ee | no root... user: ubuntu pass: temppwd (the alpha-3 image will bring up oem-config, just got to sacarfise 100Mb to swap) | 02:23 |
| rsavoye | wow, that was too easy :-) | 02:23 |
| rcn-ee | if you look at dmesg, there is atleast one oops with usart 3.. | 02:24 |
| rsavoye | sweet, I'm in, thanks | 02:25 |
| rcn-ee | no problem.. it'll be interesting if your board fails at 1Ghz too.. the latest kernel: http://rcn-ee.net/deb/maverick/v2.6.35-rc6-dl12/install-me.sh if it hard locks on boot, change mpurate from 1Ghz to 900/800 etc... | 02:26 |
| rsavoye | yeah, might be worth trying as long as I can hack it work at a slower speed | 02:30 |
| rsavoye | but 1Ghz would be nice for builds | 02:30 |
| rcn-ee | the script will back up the existing uImage and uInird so it's pretty easy to back and forth. ;) | 02:31 |
| rsavoye | hum, apt-get doesn't like ports.ubuntu.com | 02:31 |
| rsavoye | ok, downloading it, I'll try it | 02:32 |
| rsavoye | wow, this is a reasonably decent performing little machine | 02:33 |
| rsavoye | I'm sort of used to 200-400Mhz :-( | 02:33 |
| rcn-ee | yeah the xm is pretty quick.. of course i thought the original beagle 500mhz/128mb was quick too a couple years back.. it keeps geting better.. | 02:34 |
| rsavoye | mv: cannot move `/tmp/boot/uImage' to `/tmp/boot/uImage_old': Read-only file sym | 02:35 |
| rsavoye | `/tmp/boot/uInitrd' -> `/tmp/boot/uInitrd_old' | 02:35 |
| rsavoye | guess I should have done it as root | 02:35 |
| rcn-ee | no it calls sudo... | 02:35 |
| rcn-ee | is mount showing /dev/mmcblk0p1 as "ro" sounds like the same weird thing that till's board is doing.. (why mine doesn..t0 | 02:36 |
| rsavoye | hum then I have a problem | 02:36 |
| rsavoye | yeah,. read-only file system | 02:37 |
| rsavoye | so I guess I can | 02:38 |
| rcn-ee | is there a 'write protect' switch on your mini-sd card? | 02:38 |
| rsavoye | t run at 1Ghz ? | 02:38 |
| rsavoye | could be, let me pull it out and check | 02:38 |
| rcn-ee | i don't think there is, but it's weird both your's and till's xm (512mb) models default to write-protect on the sd, whereas mine stay rw.. | 02:39 |
| rsavoye | I don't see one, even put my reading glasses on... | 02:40 |
| rcn-ee | i'd hope it would be pretty obvious.. | 02:41 |
| rsavoye | just making sure. :-) | 02:43 |
| rcn-ee | rsavoye, use nano and add this line: http://pastebin.com/wUNVc9Y7 (it should remount it as rw) | 02:43 |
| rsavoye | ok, done. trying again | 02:45 |
| rsavoye | that time it was happy | 02:48 |
| rcn-ee | cool thanks.. i'll add a ro check and workaround for future install-me scripts. ;) | 02:49 |
| rsavoye | seems to hang on reboot after "Uncompressing Linux... done, booting the kernel. " | 02:51 |
| rsavoye | Image Name: 2.6.35-rc6-dl12 | 02:51 |
| rsavoye | Image Type: ARM Linux Kernel Image (uncompressed) | 02:51 |
| rcn-ee | yeah that's the clock speed... :( use the boot.cmd from the ubuntu directory and change it to mpurate=800 instead of muprate=${mpurate} | 02:51 |
| rsavoye | I assume I do that with the MMC mounted to a different machine ? | 02:52 |
| rcn-ee | yeap, with another pc, so you need the sd card reader.. | 02:53 |
| rcn-ee | till got it too boot every 3rd/4th time.. | 02:53 |
| rsavoye | the ubuntu directory is where ? | 02:54 |
| rcn-ee | in the extracted dir.. ubuntu-maverick-alpha2-minimal-armel/boot.cmd | 02:55 |
| rcn-ee | then it's just: sudo mkimage -A arm -O linux -T script -C none -a 0 -e 0 -n "Boot Script" -d ${DIR}/boot.cmd ${DIR}/disk/boot.scr | 02:55 |
| rsavoye | DIR being my MMC card ? or where ubuntu* is untarred ? | 02:57 |
| rcn-ee | the first DIR is your ubuntu-maverick-alpha2-minimal-armel/ directory an the 2nd one is your mmc card.. (just remember to edit boot.cmd first) | 02:59 |
| rsavoye | looks like 800 doesn't do it either, 600 next ? | 03:03 |
| rcn-ee | very weird, 800mhz should have worked no problem.. maybe go back to the *_old i'll do some more testing on my xm tomorrow.. | 03:04 |
| rsavoye | I'll 600, then go back to the original image | 03:05 |
| rsavoye | maybe I screwed up a step | 03:05 |
| rcn-ee | no, i don't think you did.. the install script been tested quiet a bit in weird enviroments... You just have serial access right? | 03:06 |
| rsavoye | yep, I'm redoing it 800 | 03:07 |
| rsavoye | just to be sure | 03:07 |
| rsavoye | and yeah, only serial access till I get the network up | 03:09 |
| rsavoye | yep, that time it worked. user error... | 03:10 |
| rsavoye | it says 2.6.34-l2 ? | 03:11 |
| rcn-ee | that's the original... | 03:11 |
| rsavoye | oops, | 03:11 |
| rsavoye | so let me get this right, I should run install-me.sh on the but the boot.cmd is in the original tarball ? | 03:16 |
| rcn-ee | the install-me can only be run on the beagle... the original boot.scr that is created with the setup_sdcard.sh script sets mpurate=${mpurate} this passes 1000 from u-boot to kernel, which then trys to set 1Ghz on the omap.. but it's not 100% yet, so we force mpurate=800 and copy that new boot.scr to the fat partition on the sd card.. | 03:18 |
| rsavoye | that's what I thought | 03:19 |
| rsavoye | so after I run the install-me script, I have to reboot. But editing boot.cmd and running setup goes back to the original | 03:20 |
| rsavoye | or since I edited boot.cmd, ran setup, and then install-me.sh ? | 03:20 |
| * cwillu_at_work blames the sd cards | 03:20 | |
| rcn-ee | yeah... the 'setup_sdcard' will reformat the sd card and use the original kernel image again.. | 03:21 |
| rsavoye | 2.6.35-rc6-dl12. I had the order wrong at first :-) | 03:21 |
| rsavoye | now it's up and set to 800 | 03:22 |
| rsavoye | 800Mhz is better than 500Mhz :-) | 03:26 |
| * cwillu_at_work feels inadequate with his 720mhz | 03:27 | |
| * rcn-ee to have 512Mb... | 03:28 | |
| cwillu_at_work | oddly enough given that I'm running a webapp fullscreen in firefox, I'm cpu bound, not memory bound :p | 03:28 |
| rsavoye | yeah, the extra memory may be better than the clock speed for builds | 03:29 |
| rcn-ee | i wouldn't do it for any of your in the field boards, but bump the mpurate value.. ;) | 03:29 |
| rsavoye | above 800 ? I'm a developer anyway. :-) | 03:30 |
| rcn-ee | oh i was bugging cwillu_at_work he should overclock his to 820.. ;) | 03:31 |
| * cwillu_at_work installs a water cooler :p | 03:31 | |
| rsavoye | ya gotta love working on mobile devices, it's like coding was 20 years ago | 03:31 |
| cwillu_at_work | yep | 03:32 |
| cwillu_at_work | I remember my 32 bit atari with 256mb of memory running at 500mhz | 03:32 |
| * cwillu_at_work blinks | 03:32 | |
| cwillu_at_work | actually, I remember my 16/32 bit atari with 2mb of memory and a 20mb scsi hard drive :p | 03:33 |
| * cwillu_at_work reminisces about gfa basic | 03:33 | |
| cwillu_at_work | ... where a misindented line was a syntax error enforced by the editor :) | 03:33 |
| rsavoye | my first machine was a time sharing system that I dialed into at 110 baud :-) | 03:34 |
| rsavoye | even the keypunch machines were an improvement to that | 03:34 |
| cwillu_at_work | I used to go to the sleep to the beep beep beep of my mom typing thesis in my bedroom | 03:34 |
| cwillu_at_work | years later, she bit me | 03:35 |
| * cwillu_at_work wonders what happened there | 03:35 | |
| cwillu_at_work | now I deal with the psychological issues by buying overpriced sd cards | 03:35 |
| cwillu_at_work | it's a mad world :) | 03:35 |
| rsavoye | my mom hated getting rid of her IBM Selectric typewriter for a word processor... | 03:35 |

| KosiNuss | hi, I'm running 10.04.1. the sound output of mpd on my system sounds awful and disorted, but e.g. ffmpeg plays the files perfectly. do you have an idea, where the problem is? i used the mpd.conf in 9.10 without any problems. | 07:48 |

| rsavoye | on maverick onj an Xm | 15:44 |
| lool | rsavoye: memory might still be unstable? | 17:04 |
| rsavoye | ah, could be | 17:05 |
| rsavoye | I also found it runs one build fine, but don't try two :-) | 17:05 |
| rsavoye | OpenJDK is chugging along slowly building on maverick | 17:05 |
| lool | rsavoye: I'd be interested if you manage to run into proven hardware failures | 17:06 |
| lool | It could always be a kernel mm issue, but still | 17:06 |
| rsavoye | I'll see if it happens again, I might have just pushed it too hard | 17:06 |
| rsavoye | I'm running 2.6.35-rc6-dl12, so it might be | 17:07 |
| rsavoye | cause of the clock speed issue | 17:07 |
| rsavoye | 800Mhz seems to work ok though | 17:07 |
