beagleboard xm rev b hang when froyo boot up

Hi Yanbin,

Can you please try to use the latest gingerbread release for Beagleboard Xm.

Hi Arun

We modify many android system file to fit our requirement, and it took my three week to download the froyo source.

If we use ginerbread, I think we would delay the release our product time, these is very bad.

So we need a simple resolution to fix this problem on froyo.

Thanks,

Yanbin Yue

Hi satish

Could you give me the url to download the latest SGX?

It looks that the latest sgx was updated in 2010 08,  does this version could solve our problem?

Thanks,

Yanbin Yue

Hi Satish

The url I could find sgx is http://gitorious.org/rowboat/ti_android_sgx_sdk

Is this the right url to get the latest sgx?

Thanks

Yanbin Yue

Hi Satish,

Could you tell me the useful files which build from the hardware-ti-sgx for fixing these problem.

When I compare the pvrsrvkm.ko and omaplfb.ko with the old version, I find they have the same binary data, And I find the version of the installed share library as the same as the libarary which we used in the problem version.

Because this problem don't occur every time, so we need find the exactly file I need replace. We used the TF Card to test the system not NFS.

These are the install sgx log:

Hi Yanbin,

             I was looking at the logcat output attached. Seems the hang is beacuse of the following -

>>>> E/FramebufferNativeWindow( 1338): couldn't open framebuffer HAL (Bad address)

Which says it doesn't  have sufficient memory for the framebuffer. 

Could you please let us know the  bootargs? Probably that would help.

Regards,

Aditya

Hi Aditya,

The bootargs is:

console=ttyS2,115200n8 androidboot.console=ttyS2 mem=256M root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 rw rootfstype=ext3 rootdelay=1 init=/init ip=off mpurate=1000 omap_vout.vid1_static_vrfb_alloc=y omapdss.def_disp=dvi vram=16M omapfb.vram=0:8M

Thanks,

Yanbin Yue

Hi Yanbi, 

   The bootargs looks fine. We have seen similar issues in the past on beagle xm with silicon revision 0x0.

Can you please check the revision of your board?

Try to run the following on the target and let me know the output.

# devmem2 0x4830A204

Regards,

Aditya

Hi Aditya,

The result is :

# ./devmem2 0x4830A204
0x1b89102f

The attachment is the devmem2 source.

Thanks,

Yanbin Yue

Hi Aditya,

BTW, if our silicon revision is 0x0

How can we work around this problem? We have little time to fix this problem, and must fix it.

Thanks a lot.

Yanbin Yue

Hi Yanbin,

      Fortunately your silicon revision is 0x1. Can you please try with prebuilt binaries from our recent release on gingerbread?

Here is the link - http://bangsdowebsvr01.india.ti.com:8090/TI_Android_DevKit/TI_Android_GingerBread_2_3_4_DevKit_2_1/

If your requirement is strictly froyo then you may try with the following -

http://software-dl.ti.com/dsps/dsps_public_sw/sdo_tii/TI_Android_DevKit/02_02_00/index_FDS.html

Hope this helps.

Regards,

Aditya

Hi Aditya,

We customed many android system model, contain: services, vold, framework...etc, and customed the linux kernel, too.

So I want to know which file need I replace from the TI_Android_DevKit/02_02_00 prebuilt binares then could reslove this problem.

Thanks

Yanbin Yue

Helle Aditya,

I get the prebuild from

http://software-dl.ti.com/dsps/dsps_public_sw/sdo_tii/TI_Android_DevKit/02_02_00/index_FDS.html

and find that the version of sgx is 1.5 as same as my older sgx.

I get the 1.7 sgx from

http://gitorious.org/rowboat/hardware-ti-sgx/commits/ti_sgx_sdk-ddk_1.7

and replace my older sgx, then get some errors as follow:

[  514.313720] init: cannot execve('/system/bin/sgx/rc.pvr'): Permission denied
[  518.910858] init: cannot execve('/system/bin/sgx/rc.pvr'): Permission denied

Could you tell me what's wrong?

Thanks

Yanbin Yue

Hello Aditya,

When we used the source clone from git://gitorious.org/rowboat/hardware-ti-sgx.git, the version was 1.5 too. And we try use this version sgx but the issue is exist all the same.

So I think if I can use the sgx 1.7, the issue may be will go out.

Thanks,

Yanbin Yue

HI Yanbin,

Please chage permissions of system/bin/sgx/rc.pvr' file and try booting again.

chmod 777 system/bin/sgx/rc.pvr'

Let us know the result.

Thanks and Reagrds,

Pankaj Bharadiya

HI Yanbin.

         As Pankaj pointed out, you need to change permissions as appropriate.

Yes, I was suggesting you to use sgx 1.7 where the issue was resolved. Let

me know if you find any difficulties.

Regards,

Aditya

Hi Pankaj,

We have test that, the rc.pvr could run. But another error occured:

Yanbin Yue

Hi Yanbin,

  Which Kernel version are you using? From the log it looks like a warning and not error. Please note that from kernel 2.6.35 and above the kernel/workqueue API's signature changed a bit, probably you need to verify the syntax.

Regards,

Aditya

Hi Aditya,

The kernel vesion is 2.6.32. Because of thes warning, the system couldn't boot up. These more log:

Should change the workqueue API with that in 2.6.35?

Thanks,

Yanbin Yue

Hi Yanbin,

         I guess you may need to check if the prototype of workqueue usage in sgx is same as the way its defined in kernel. But I think the problem you are seeing might be different. Can you please try the following steps and let me know -

1) #lsmod -- Please check if the sgx modules are properly inserted.

2) Please provide logcat summary.

Regards,
Aditya

Hi Aditya

I can't run the bash command when this problem happened.

Must I change the kernel from 2.6.32 to 2.6.35?

Thanks

Yanbin Yue

Hi Yanbin,

We have tested SGX1.7 DDK with Android gingerbread and linux kernel 2.6.37.

I am not sure about the device behavior with FroYo, linux 2.6.37 and SGX1.7 but you can give a try.

Use below link to download 2.6.37 Android devkit kernel.

https://gitorious.org/rowboat/kernel/trees/rowboat-kernel-2.6.37

Thanks and Regards,

Pankaj Bharadiya

Hi Aditya,

When I comment the line "service pvr /system/bin/sgx/rc.pvr start" ,  I get the same error, but no modules name:

So I think the errors maybe happened at insmod *.ko.

Thanks,

Yanbin Yue

Hi Yanbi, 

  When you comment that line, it won't insert the kernel modules and you have to do it yourselves. So after that did you manually run the steps I mentioned?  What happens?

Please note that you have to build sgx kernel modules against the kernel you are using to boot. I would suggest use the same kernel you were using earlier and try to rebuild sgx modules separately from hardware-ti-sgx dir. Also note that you have to set the environment variables as required (if you see any errors during the build).

After doing the above please let me know what happens when you manually insert the modules I mentioned in my prev post.

Regards,

Aditya

Hi Aditya

It can boot up now, but I don't know how solve that.

What we only do is before the errors information were printed run lsmod, /system/bin/pvrsrvinit, chmod etc.

We will test booting up 50 times and I think it will be OK.

There  is another problem the booting time looks a little long, it will takes nearly a minute to enter the system, could you give some suggestion to short the time?

Thanks

Yanbin Yue

Hi Aditya

BTW, could you tell me what value that come from devmem2 means the silicon revision is 0x0 ?

We have another six board, I want to get them revision with devmem2.

Thanks,

Yanbin Yue

Yanbin,

    Good to hear that you got it working finally. Regarding the long boot time - one of the reasons could be because of the slow SD card. I would suggest you to used Hi-speed card as recommended in the user guide.

Regards,

Aditya

Hi Aditya

There is a new problem  when we use sgx 1.7. We can't play the video normally. We can play 720p AVI file very well before, and now the image looks very slowly when we paly the same file. Does sgx 1.7 need more memory?

Thanks,

Yanbin Yue

That's strange, can you please attach log cat and dmesg logs? Also make sure that you have sgx modules inserted and you are using SGX.

By the way what are your bootargs?  Also you may try with sgx1.5 to conclude that it indeed happens with sgx1.7.

Hi Aditya,

There is the same problem is sgx 1.5, it looks I'm not using the sgx.

When I replace the sgx, need I do anything extra to enable it?

The result of lsmod:

# lsmod
omaplfb 8871 0 - Live 0xbf032000
pvrsrvkm 137186 37 omaplfb, Live 0xbf000000

And the pvr service indeed has been start.

Thanks,

Yanbin Yue

HI Aditya,

Thank you very much.

I find the really cause of my problem:

The file /system/bin/pvrsrvinit had no x permisson, so it may occur the problem before.

Indeed I disable the 3D hardware acceleration, I enable that, I can paly the 720P AVI file normally now.

Thanks again.

Yanbin Yue

Good work Yanbin. Glad that you finally got it working.
