Re: [Announce] kernel-power stable v51 in Extras-Devel
Hey guys,
does anyone know if the fcam drivers will be compatible to the power kernel (or the power kernel to the fcam drivers) again any time soon? Cam on my N900 only works with standard drivers on pk51. Would be cool if I could use blessn900 again :) Thx! |
Re: [Announce] kernel-power stable v51 in Extras-Devel
Can anyone help?
Code:
Nokia-N900-51-1:~# uname -r |
Re: [Announce] kernel-power stable v51 in Extras-Devel
You seem to have an outdated package list ( power50 ) try
Code:
apt-get update ./sifo |
Re: [Announce] kernel-power stable v51 in Extras-Devel
Update didn't help.. (note had to remove the http / https from the code as forum won't let me post 'multiple links')
Code:
Nokia-N900-51-1:~# apt-get update |
Re: [Announce] kernel-power stable v51 in Extras-Devel
Do you have extras-devel enabled ? i guess you need that repo...

Re: [Announce] kernel-power stable v51 in Extras-Devel
Since the DSP overclocking changes were made to KP, I've not been able to enable SmartReflex on my phone.
If I use the 'dsp' profile with VDD1 enabled, the phone reboots instantly. If I use the 'default' profile with a frequency range of 500 - 600 only (no overclocking) and VDD1 & 2 enabled, the phone reboots instantly. If I do as above but disable VDD2, the phone works until I do something CPU intensive, such as start watching a video, then reboots. I have tried making a copy of the profiles and boosting some of the voltage numbers in them, but I was wondering if my understanding of SR is correct or not. Does anybody have any suggestions that might help with getting SR working? Can anyone tell me if the voltage values in the kernel configs are actually used if SR is enabled, or are they ignored? |

Do you use ramzswap by chance? EDIT: There is really something wrong here, SR VDD2 didn't change through KP versions. |
Re: [Announce] kernel-power stable v51 in Extras-Devel
plz tell what does that smartfleax and vdd mean?

Re: [Announce] kernel-power stable v51 in Extras-Devel
SmartReflex is a power management feature that can be found in some TI DSPs in the OMAP35x series.
VDD relates to the voltages used when SmartReflex is enabled. vdd1 relates to the cpu+dsp, vdd2 to the connection between subsystems if I understand it correctly freemangordan: What side-effects would this have had? Other than instability. I have had a few videos lately that haven't played only after the device has been on a while. They get stuck in stock player at loading dots, when the next one in the list works fine. After a reboot they all start working. CuteTube's latest internal player shows slightly different symptoms for the same videos, tearing and skewing at about a 45 degree angle. KP is using DSP profile with 720p support installed. I remember reading here some device revisions (I have a 2101) have similar issues due to DSP voltage needing a small voltage boost. Just wondering if this had been integrated somehow? If not what would be the requirements of doing so? Something like extracting revision from /proc/cpuinfo during initscript and applying seperate voltages on a per revision basis? |

And the FM transmitter has never worked, no matter which version of fmtxd I tried! :( I recently bought a 2nd N900 for a fraction of the price of my older one, and everything (including SR) works very well on it. Quote:

Hmm, I can't seem to revert to the stock kernel using the instructions here:
Code:

Re: [Announce] kernel-power stable v51 in Extras-Devel
I've heard that someone in xda have ported the upstream ondemand governor code from latest linux kernel(and a lot else).
Is that possible for power-kernel? Will that bring us any improvement in daily use? |
Re: [Announce] kernel-power stable v51 in Extras-Devel
Given that the N900 already jumps to OPP5 every time you use the device, I don't think much would change.

Re: [Announce] kernel-power stable v51 in Extras-Devel
Ah, freemangordon, I'm running CSSU-thumb, so I guess uninstalling the power kernel to get the info you want from /sys/power/efuse_vddN is not possible.
If I give you a copy of the device file /dev/mtd2 whilst running under power kernel is it any help? |

Anyway, I still want your efuse values along with your "kernel-config show" output when SR VDD1 is on and tho profile you use to OC and/or undervolt. I want to compare what SR thinks is OK for your device to what is OK in practice. And maybe it is time to do the same for VDD2 SR I did for VDD1 SR. You and your "very bad" device could help a lot for that. Going back I think I made a general mistake with SR - I preferred slightly better battery life instead of 1-2% worse and a bit higher voltages. But fortunately this is easy to be fixed. |

Also I want kernel-config show output with SR VDD1 enabled when the device has run for a couple of minutes with it on, so SR had calculated the voltages. |

Okay, freemangordon, output from "kernel-config show" doesn't seem to vary so I presume you wanted to see /sys/power/sr_vdd1_voltage? I've included both anyway, as well as the gzipped /dev/mtd2 contents.
The vdd1 voltage value started out at 48, then dropped to 44, 39 and finally after about 10 minutes it was on 35. Thanks for all your assistance. Code:
ash-n900:/home/user/MyDocs/Music# kernel-config show |

Re: [Announce] kernel-power stable v51 in Extras-Devel
@Xagoln - I really meant the output of kernel-config show after 10-15 minutes. As you may see the values next to frequency vary when SR is on.
what you can do is to lock the frequencies (kernel-config lock NNN) in order 500,550,600 and after that to post the result of kernel-config show and the value of /sys/power/sr_vdd1_voltage for each frequency. |

Re: [Announce] kernel-power stable v51 in Extras-Devel
The last one i 100% remember was downloaded (with sound) by cutetube (non qml) - it played only one time right after reboot. But it also happened few times with videos recorded by the N900 itself (no 720p recording stuff installed).
When N900 locks in such state, You can`t play any video at all, only reboot fixes it - until next time. |

@freemangordon, I wrote a little script that stepped through the clockspeeds using the 'kernel-config lock' command, running a 'kernel-config show' and then sleeping 15 minutes and then running it again. It also copied the content of /sys/power/sr_vdd1_voltage before and after the 15 minute sleep. The phone was otherwise idle.
I've attached the results. Still no variation in the numbers given by kernel-config show, though... any ideas? |

500:34,550:42,600:48 according to your measurements. Those voltages are way above the voltages in your custom OC profile with SR disabled: 500:34,360 550:38,400 600:42 You said you are not able to enable fmtx. Why is that? Did you ever try a full reflash (both rootfs and eMMC) to see if it makes any difference? Are you sure there is no some background running script (ala batterypatch) which sets frequency/voltages? |

:) Yes, I flashed both root and eMMC about 10 days ago, prior to installing CSSU-thumb. It's the first time I've flashed the eMMC, but the 3rd or 4th time to flash the rootfs. Quote:
I don't want to take up too much of your time freemangordon - the n900 community needs you! :) So if you think my device is just 'funky' or half burned-out, it's no problem. Even though it's the crappiest n900 in existence, it has served me well for many years and I hope will continue to do so :D |

one video that played up recently, bit of an odd choice but needed it for demo to a friend
cutetube (non qml) search for 15 ye old annie wu rocks the three beats for beatbox flute download to device cutetube shows skewed image, quite often (see attached). stock media player gets stuck loading. both work straight after reboot. i have 720p codecs. stock player getting stuck occured before installing them. |
Re: [Announce] kernel-power stable v51 in Extras-Devel

I would recommend to report a bug to marxian, I was able to reproduce that skewed video when i tried to play it from portrait cutetube using build-in player. Stock media player still plays it everytime. I have 720p codecs too, but my gstdsp.so is slightly newer version than what I posted on 720p thread :o , so that might be the reason i have no problems to play that. Anyway, i don't think those problems are related to kernel-power, I am on kernel-cssu3 here ;) |
Re: [Announce] kernel-power stable v51 in Extras-Devel
Maybe it's good idea to post this new gstdsp.so, then?
|
Re: [Announce] kernel-power stable v51 in Extras-Devel
it doesn't seem container specific or resolution as far as i can tell. stock player just sits there at the dots. i'll try to find more examples.

Re: [Announce] kernel-power stable v51 in Extras-Devel
I know this is not strictly on topic however I have found if you kill the mafw-renderer process, videos will stop being stuck at the 'buffering' stage when using OMP. This works for a few videos then it will start again.
Saying mediaplayer/openmediapplayer/mplayer/whatever is a totally frickin' useless bug report. They are all different programs that render/run on different backends. |

Re: [Announce] kernel-power stable v51 in Extras-Devel
Noob Question - why the DSP clockrate cant go above 600 i mean like 610 or something else? if yes then how to? i tried editing those profiles DSP in /home/user/ but no success plz help me to find out the answer.

Re: [Announce] kernel-power stable v51 in Extras-Devel
The C64x DSP series has been known to clock up all the way to 1GHz.
But we really don't need any more processing power for 720p, and I'm not entirely sure we can feed enough power to it at those speeds. |
Re: [Announce] kernel-power stable v51 in Extras-Devel
Quote:
The C64x DSP clock up to 1GHz, but not in 3430 with its 65nm technology. 3630 is a different beer, but i think n9/50 owners can confirm that even at 870 (iirc that is DSP freq in n9/50) they cannot play 720p H264 medium/high profile videos. So it is pointless to increase the speed more than 600. |
Re: [Announce] kernel-power stable v51 in Extras-Devel
sir atleast we can try? i mean we can tweak kernel to go over 600? cuz without experiencing we cannot proceed and i think DSP must be extended and freemangordon and pali r the guys who can do these kernel stuff im sorry i dunno other developers's names but these guys are like shining stars so plz guys atleast try plzzzz
