maemo.org - Talk - [Announce] kernel-power stable v49 in Extras-Testing

@freemangordon:

Now KP v49 is stable, what about start porting upstream Linux 3.x or Meego n900 kernel for Maemo?

A lot of n900 drivers are upstreamed, see http://elektranox.org/n900/kernel/status.html

And Meego n900 kernel should have all drivers included, see https://meego.gitorious.org/meego-de...on/n900_kernel

I hope you are joking :p

Anyway, a little closer to find the bugger. Seems on shutdown with charger attached USB is not suspended and watchdog is kicking.

Code:

        if ((val & STS_VBUS) && !twl4030_usb_suspended) {

                printk(KERN_EMERG "twl4030-poweroff: VBUS on,"

                                  " forcing restart!\n");

                /* Set watchdog, Triton goes to WAIT-ON state.

                   VBUS will cause start up */

                twl4030_i2c_write_u8(TWL4030_MODULE_PM_RECEIVER, 1,

                                     TWL4030_WATCHDOG_CFG_REG_OFFS);

                while (1);

        }

This is not helpful in solving but it goes to show that KP is not always the culprit.... But if it varies from one version to the next then it may well be the case.

Hi Handaxe

And I would completely agree with you as an observation this has now been apparent with two KP versions and not with the in between versions.

The only significant change between each version was the KP and a reboot, my software stack has been as I like it for a long time now.

I set the upper cpu to 720 in KP49, 750 in earlier versions.

In each case the cpu chatter seems to be related to the wifi as it seems to directly affect autodisconnects monitoring of the wifi traffic.

When I compare battery charts between the different KP versions there is definately more activity on average with KP47 and 49 than pre-47 and 48 but again this is not definitive of any specific issue.

I didn't say it was anything other than an observation and certainly not a criticism of the good work done by the KP maintainers.

I only asked in passing if anyone might have any thoughts, perhaps a suggestion how to track down the extra load.

I am willing to bet KP50 makes it all better again! :-)

@freemangordon
Many posts here in just few hours, so - for the record, if by any chance, You've missed it - could You please look at question there?
http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...postcount=2180

Sorry if this bump was not necessary.

---

As for bugger, what makes me wonder, is that reboot/shutown bug is appearing even without charger. It seems, that charger reboot loop is just one "manifestation" of bug with rebooting - but, who knows, maybe there are many things overlapping. It's very strange, that it happens for so many people in very different points of time (and setup), with only KP(42-49) in common.

Re: [Announce] kernel-power stable v49 in Extras-Devel

i have tested the fmtx with the original omap1 kernel, and it works flawless, so the fmtx error comes definitely from kp49!

any help?

have you installed the new kernel-power-settings...?

it seems as if you are using old kp settings..if you are using profile of ur choice.. check if 700 and 750 are deleted and in their place u must have 720...

It does not work for me either at the moment. Did not investigate it further.

Edit: I solved it by overwriting /usr/sbin/fmtxd again which a newly downloaded modified version. Something must have overwritten/damaged it...

Did you reboot? I had the same problem after upgrading, while 720 was there it still moaned about it till I rebooted

Re: [Announce] kernel-power stable v49 in Extras-Devel

As I've confirmed 2 times already, jacekowski's modified binary + kp49 + latest testing CSSU plays nicely - FMTX is working great.

Please guys, read at least few posts (in fact, You should read at least few last pages + first post...), before asking.

Anyway, it seems that Your problem is unrelated to kp.

Re: [Announce] kernel-power stable v49 in Extras-Devel

I'm testing the following power profile ('overclock' in batterypatch) that I've edited basing on starving profile and dsp profile, it gives the voltage when needed and when you don't record anything it uses starving voltages:

Code:

# DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE - CREATE A COPY OF IT FOR CUSTOMIZATION 

# minimum frequency to use

MINFREQ=500

# maximum frequency to use

MAXFREQ=900

# list of frequency configurations: each "frequency:volt,dsprate"

FREQS="0:22,90 125:22,90 250:28,180 500:29,360 550:32,400 600:34,430 720:54,520 805:54,600 850:54,600 900:54,600 950:60,600 1000:60,600 1100:72,600 1150:72,600"

SMARTREFLEX_VDD1=1

SMARTREFLEX_VDD2=1

GOVERNOR=ondemand

UP_THRESHOLD=95

SAMPLING_RATE=300000

IGNORE_NICE_LOAD=0

POWERSAVE_BIAS=0

No reboot till yesterday, I've set starving voltages in 0-600 range , dspprofile voltages in the rest of frequences and 500 as min freq as my kp48 starving profile.
I use also this profile when in standby ('underclock' in batterypatch):

Code:

MINFREQ=125

MAXFREQ=250

FREQS="0:22,90 125:22,90 250:28,180 500:29,360"

SMARTREFLEX_VDD1=1

SMARTREFLEX_VDD2=1

GOVERNOR=ondemand

UP_THRESHOLD=95

SAMPLING_RATE=300000

IGNORE_NICE_LOAD=0

POWERSAVE_BIAS=0

This extends the standby time, because it consumes more power only when needed...the dsp default profile eat my N900 O_O

i think latest kernel-power with sr_vdd1 enabled does not depend upon the values you have set in the profile u are using...sr calculates its own values and saves it and then uses the previously calculated value for a particular frequency as a benchmark for the next time...

so IMHO setting too low voltages in the profile has no effect on the actual voltages..

i will be highly obliged if somebody corrects me if i am wrong...

thanks

EDIT :
i cant say anything about kp48

No, it doesn't not. Assumption false in such many places, that I don't know where to start criticizing it. In last ~4-5 pages freemangordon explained, how it does work -= from both SR, DSP and MPU view (shameless confession - mainly due to me bugging him to explain ;) ).

My question is because I don't know how much VDD1 lower the voltages (If VDD1 pull down my voltages to starving voltages it's ok but if not it could be better to disable if my n900 support starving voltages..I guess, I don't have the knowledge to be sure about that :D)

BTW what does "not working" mean. What happens when you enable fmtx from control panel. Could it be that fmtxd you are using is not the latest one? It really does not make sence to write several posts with only complains and zero usable information, i.e. dmesg log, syslog, whaterver error message you receive.

And trust me on that, KP49 is not the reason your fmtx to stop working , it is something else on your system which is the culprit. Just give us some useful info so someone to be able to help.

Have you tried switching back to Nokia kernel, checking if FMTX works, and than re-installing kp?

Of course it is your n900, you can break it in the way you want, just don't ask here "I don't know what i have done, will someone explain me?".

obviously one of the updates have occurred a conflict with the fmtx-faker

now the resolution: go the terminal and type following commands

Code:

root

fmtx-faker-tool patch

i don't know why, but this problem have come after the updates...

jacekowski's modified binary have nothing to do with fmtx-faker, these binary makes the good old fm-boost obsolet
the fm-faker is to enable the fmtx module ( disabled due country restrictions ) and is furthermore necessary

Re: [Announce] kernel-power stable v49 in Extras-Devel

No, I'll repeat it again and only once again - latest jacekowski's binary make fmtx-faker obsolete.

Please read whole fmtx thread, and learn how to configure properly Your overall fmtx setup. And by whole thread, I mean whole - if I was able to do it in my quite limited time, You're also.

Sorry if it sounds rude, but somehow, people "claiming" that fmtx doesn't work after kp update, are at the same time quite "demanding" and hard to provide debug info. What a strange coincidence...
