usually its best to wipe to updatye as their could be settigns or ioptions incompatible and that would cause problems

I'm waiting for the results :)

The Milestone Droid also has the same watchdogs. I'm trying to figure out how do they treat them.

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 
thats a good route to take that, depends if the milestone/droid actualyl let the hardware listen to said watchdogs though

I have one question though, my fm radio app doesn't work after flashing the zImage4, the radio module, in maemo, wont load, it comes up with an error on it. Anything you've come across?
yeah I got this problem too. don't use it much though, it was also a problem with titans early kernels.

ok if anyone is fairly competant in editing files etc and up for testing some new ideas re watchdogs please join the #nitdroid room could you

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 
I couldn't find anything related to "android watchdog" or "droid watchdog", except a data counter named "3G watchdog" or something :p

Waiting for Dj_Steve's input on his script :)

twl4030 watchdog your probably needing giannoug

Then in theory, applying Titans newest patches should fix the problem. And also give maemo the lot of the features that you get when installing Enhanced Linux Kernel For Power Users from the Application Manager.

So when you flash the zImage4 does that overwrite titans kernel, cause i didn't uninstall that before jumping into nitdroid and flashing zImage4?

yea it wipes oput the kernel but not the software side

No luck at all with the watchdogs. Did your scripts work, Dj_Steve?

Will it at some point get titans patches then, that would be great? :D

dj_steve 2010-07-01 18:47
Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 
it has most of titans patchs far as i know

MohammadAG 2010-07-01 18:47
Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 
You'll need to recompile the kernel modules if one of them fails to load on maemo (fm one in this case), I'll do it when I get back home, if the patches on gitorious are newest.
The kernel is stored on /dev/mtd3, when you flash a kernel dpkg might show it as installed, but the kernel image loaded is the last one flashed (uname -a to see which one).
/dev/mtd3 is 2.6-ish MBs iirc.

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 
anyone else fancy helping me dev this watchdog situation ?

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 
Just joined in, so _HELLO_ to everybody!

I've got a solution to the watchdog problem. With my patch it is possible to disable R&D mode, which is not possible at the moment because of a limitation in the wdt driver.

Actually, I have been integrating the Titan's kernel patches with the latest patches in android-common-2.6.29. Some highlights:

- Fully compatible dualboot: Maemo and Android
- WDT problem solved
- Touchscreen driver compatible with both Maemo and Android (module option to select)
- overclock capable
- nearly all Titan's modules included
- latest bug fixes from Nokia

... just to mention a few.

My plan is to make a initrd image, which includes the bootmenu, kernel modules, and templates to boot both Maemo and Android, without any changes to the existing Maemo system.

anybody interested in trying out my beta kernel?

cheers
jay

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 
hell yes, any chance you could integrate the pvr driver from milestone ? (can provide info if needed

I think we'd all like to try this!!!

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 
About the watchdog problem...

when N900 is booting up, the NOLO bootloader enables the watchdogs, apparently both OMAP and TWL4030 wdt's.
When the OS is booting up, the watchdogs are still enabled, and assumed to be reseted ASAP. We already have drivers for both watchdogs, but there is a small problem with the twl4030 driver. It does not reset the watchdog when loaded into the kernel.

The fix is simple:
Quote:

@@ -247,6 +247,9 @@
twl4030_wdt_debugfs, &wdt->poweroff_on_suspend);
#endif
twl4030_wdt_dev = pdev;
+
+ twl4030_wdt_disable(wdt);
+
return 0;
}
And, in Android, just load this module in load_modules.sh.

Cheers
Jay

hmm cool, jay-c can you hop into one of the irc rooms would love to try out new kern

@Jay-C
Okay so if im understanding this right, with your initrd we wont need a separate bootmenu like fanoush's bootmenu?

dsme && bme already runs on Nitdroid.
also I wrote simple watchdog pinger ('popingui') and it started as service in android (from init.nokia.rc). some watchdog doesn't reset its timeout anyway (I don't remember exactly which one, seems 'external') and system reset occurs. and in my opinion, ought not to disable watchdogs. we ought to fix kernel or userspace problem instead.

in other words: there is no difference in R&D enabled and disabled R&D (with broken watchdogs).

New touchscreen module, "bottom inaccuracies" problem solved (at least for me).

v1 (3450 2900):
http://slil.ru/29420775
MD5: 9dadaf9c9c071dbddc0d9925801b3b2f

v2 (3450 3100):
http://slil.ru/29420842
MD574c79c2e7f50c46ec1a8828668f6a64c
place it in /system/lib/modules

Please report which one works better for you. Thanks.

You need to configure Bootmenu to search for the right partition...im at an airport atm and dont have time to paste the code but in the bootmenu settings file you need to direct the bootmenu to the correct partition (one with android on it...EXT4 on memory card)

Hope this helps

Btw if you jump a few dozen paes back you'll find the code...i THINK Toja pasted it somewhere and a various few others!!

I added this code in leafpad android.etc.item

Code:
ITEM_NAME="Android (external SD, partition 2)"
ITEM_ID="android3"
ITEM_DEVICE="${EXT_CARD}p2"
ITEM_MODULES="mbcache jbd ext3 fat vfat"
ITEM_FSTYPE="ext3"
ITEM_FSOPTIONS="noatime,rw"
I must write "ext4" in "ITEM_FSTYPE"?

No one has got Cellular to work on other OSes. Look at this page, I found it interesting while searching for the watchdogs :)

when you dual boot android, do you need to boot it on an SD card? Is it updatable, like when you release updates?

yes but pnatd emulates what we need if it could be made to run in chroot. or ofono if i could compile it for android

yes it boots from sd, i refuse to provide info on how to do it from internal mem . and yes updateable by means of wiping out the old install currently
