Re: kernel-power patches/updates
 

Another happy customer here!
That kernel is getting better all the time…
Installed on top of v46 with bleeding edge drivers without removing,
nothing broken, Kernel-config works, sms work, load.sh wl1251 driver works.
That IO patch must have a positive effect. Perhaps someone will think of a test to prove it before upgrading.

edit: @TMavica, perhaps enabling RD mode would make it boot.

Re: kernel-power patches/updates
 

Finally, i just dpkg'ed kernel, modules, flasher and bootimage and now i have v46;v47;omap1;NITDroid.
Thank You guys

Re: kernel-power patches/updates
 

@pali and whoever is interested:

Find attached a patch (and other goodies) for kernel-power v46. The patch updates DSP bridge driver to version allowing us to use latest TI dsp codecs and those from android (for OMAP3430 of course). With using this patch(and DSP MPEG4 decoder from Omnia HD) I was able to play (not perfectly but the problem looks like gstreamer related) MPEG4 video with resolution of 1280x720. Just a POC. Lot more work in userland is needed until we got perfectly working 720p video (both play and record), but this patch seems to be enough from the kernel side.

More details in readme.txt in attached zip.

EDIT 08.05.2011: Attachment updated so no more userland libraries need to be changed.

Re: kernel-power patches/updates
 

how to enable..? By the way I reflashed ><

Re: kernel-power patches/updates
 

on windows: flasher-3.5.exe --enable-rd-mode
in theory (and in practice) it disables some watchdogs that would stop it from booting if something is wrong so that you can debug the problem.
helped me in the past.

Re: kernel-power patches/updates
 

too late...I reflashed><

Re: kernel-power patches/updates
 

Ok. For power-kernel is interested only kernel part code. First, can you create diff for file rx51power_defconfig? And second, is gstreamer, media player, ... working if I apply only kernel patch? (We need be sure, that power-kernel 48 up will not break system).

And for all: Now I pushed power-kernel v47 to extras-devel. wait until maemo builder done its work.

Re: kernel-power patches/updates
 

Fantastic work Pali and everyone else involved..thank you..

I think it helps if we can document the kernel-power changes..

Can we have all this new patch information go into kernel-power wiki page.. or should we have a another page created for this..

Re: kernel-power patches/updates
 

For changelog, you can reduce output 'git log' from my git repository :)

Re: kernel-power patches/updates
 

No, it is better to build uboot package in kernel-power source package.

Re: kernel-power patches/updates
 

Pali, after updating to your kernel and adding the multiboot entry in uboot (and booting successfully) the software manager gets me an update of "Linux Kernel for power user (boot image) 2.6.28-10power47".
Should I update it or ignore it? Will it break the boot in multiboot?

EDIT: Both of the installed packages are named the same. But the version I got installed is 2.41 mb while the version the updater shows me is 2.34 mb. Please help me decide wheter to update it or not.

Re: kernel-power patches/updates
 

boot image is needed for multiboot

Re: kernel-power patches/updates
 

I had it installed. But I updated the file to the less sized new one and it worked very well. Thanks again Pali.

Re: kernel-power patches/updates
 

Did anyone come across this? The kernel modules that report CPU temperature and current aren't really working here:

My phone is not running at 300 degrees celsius now lol

Re: kernel-power patches/updates
 

As reported earlier, this kernel has a different method of returning temperatures (more precise)
308° means 30.8°

And it's very nice to see more kernel improvements, thanks pali and everyone that get involved :D

Re: kernel-power patches/updates
 

I see you have got power 47 to work with injections modules, would you kindly direct me how you got it working please.

thanks.

Re: kernel-power patches/updates
 

after updating to this wireless-tools package have been removed for some reason. How can I get it back? It doesn't work through apt-get for some reason.....thank you

Re: kernel-power patches/updates
 

Will the new update replace my bleeding edge driver?

Re: kernel-power patches/updates
 

you can load the modules the same way you used to do it before...

Re: kernel-power patches/updates
 

i was wondering the same to,i think it will replace it but if they repack bleeding edge driver in the update it will not , i just receive the update of power flasher today ,i will not update if it replace my bleeding edge driver

Re: kernel-power patches/updates
 

Guys, for me it is failing ...
I had multiboot with:
1 kernel omap
2 power 46
3 nitdroid

after installing I did not see a new entry for power47, and selecting I get "can't flash kernel, required files not found" errors. I added an entry for the new one

I tried reinstalling it all and got:

Please someone a clue ?

Re: kernel-power patches/updates
 

i felt the same way when I discovered this thread:)...I updated and everything works as before...including the wireless driver. All you have to do is to load the modules the same way you did in power46-wl1 kernel

Re: kernel-power patches/updates
 

ok thanks dude, i will try it now

Re: kernel-power patches/updates
 

See all packages in Hildon Application Manager. For multiboot you need to install "Linux kernel for power user (boot image)"

or via apt:
$ apt-get install kernel-power-bootimg

Re: kernel-power patches/updates
 

Cool it worked ! Now it boots kerner power 47 again !
I saw that now it reports 353 degrees celsius for the CPU heh is that a bug ? :p

Re: [Announce] kernel-power v47
 

I'm ignoring all posts about battery temperature... :mad::mad::mad:

Re: kernel-power patches/updates
 

It's 35,3 degrees celsius.

Re: [Announce] kernel-power v47
 

Fortunately you didnt ignore mine ... WAY back on page 3 or so. Once again reading a thread too much work for most. Sigh

Re: [Announce] kernel-power v47
 

What about contact all developers which maintain applications which report battery temperature to update their applications?

Can somebody do it?

bq27x00_battery module (which report 300°C) is only in kernel-power, not in default stock kernel.

Re: [Announce] kernel-power v47
 

May I ask what's new in this release?
Is it worth the update?

Re: [Announce] kernel-power v47
 

Changelogs are pretty useful :)

Why wouldn't you update? It takes like a minute and a reboot, if you want to start using it immediately.

Re: [Announce] kernel-power v47
 

I've noticed major speed increases in nearly everything, with this update.

Re: [Announce] kernel-power v47
 

Compared to v46?

Re: [Announce] kernel-power v47
 

what i've noted is massive battery saving
i was using stock kernel since a week ago and changing to v47 made a LOT of difference in battery consuming levels.

Edit: I note the difference with v46 too (I used it before than stock kernel last week)
PS: using stock cpu freq always

Re: [Announce] kernel-power v47
 

secure with CSSU? Or doesn't care?
Should I install first CSSU or Power Kernel?

Re: [Announce] kernel-power v47
 

I have been using CSSU and kernel-power without any problems for months.

Re: [Announce] kernel-power v47
 

cheers for the great work mate. the upgrade was a breeze and installing the image for multiboot was even easier

Re: [Announce] kernel-power v47
 

thanks a lot, everything is working kp47, nitdroid (vostok n11) and wl1251 drivers ;)

EDIT: i had cssu installed before and it is no problem with it.

Re: [Announce] kernel-power v47
 

I dont know if its just me, but the phone feels more responsive since the update. The default maemo apps like calculator or settings defeneetly loads faster, I think rotating is less painful in phone app now, and OMP is faster to rearrange. THX Pali! (Youre from Hungary BTW?)
