Re: u-boot for the RX-51 (N900)
 

Yes I know what mmc0 and mmc1 is what I am asking is what does this whole line do? root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 not just part of it. I mean is what will it do if I put it on boot.scr and use with uboot

I got a feeling that it would map /dev/mmcblk0p2 as as root partition for the booted OS but I'm not sure that's why I asked.

Re: u-boot for the RX-51 (N900)
 

it will try to boot system from device /dev/mmcblk0p2 (mmc0, partition 2).

Re: u-boot for the RX-51 (N900)
 

It means "Mount /dev/mmcblk0p2 as root filesystem and boot from it"

Re: u-boot for the RX-51 (N900)
 

Or try less RX51 patches.
For example a lastest version without patch for eMMC support has the high consumption problem ?
If not it is the hw registry manipulation (to activate eMMC) which generates the problem

Re: u-boot for the RX-51 (N900)
 

Got it thanks! Just as I thought. What made me confused about that command is it is used for Kubuntu mobile. The whole image is put on sd card which is an external card and should be /dev/mmcblk1p2 so I wondered why is it pointing on /dev/mmcblk0p2 yet it boots perfectly.

Pali I'm not that accurately sure but it was your first u-boot version that worked for HW 2204 that is stable I think. next update I did was already on kp49 with new uboot and power consumption issue arised. Never documented it since I thought it was some devel apps I installed. But after reflashed never tried reinstalling it again until now

Re: u-boot for the RX-51 (N900)
 

Hi Pali! A friend of mine did lookup on the power consumption issue from her n900, tested every commit from git and said that uboot power consumption was ok before this commit.

Are you sure if it is this commit?
This commit only add some #define to headers file which are never use in this (and before this) commit.

Re: u-boot for the RX-51 (N900)
 

A supposition :

This header adds value definitions (#define) used by other u-boot sources.

If the #define are missing the source code does nothing (or uses default values) but if the #define are present then they are used during Hw config and some of these #define generate misconfigured Hw

Re: u-boot for the RX-51 (N900)
 

I know twl4030 part of u-boot source code. And this new definitions are not used in u-boot. I added it because in next commits I need use twl4030 regulator for enable eMMC...
