very wired problem!!!

Bhargav · October 29, 2009, 6:42pm

My keyboard and mouse does not work on the uImage-2.6.29-r?? (built by
bitbake OE) on my old beagleboard. But it boots up Angstrom
successfully. I tried the same MMC card on a new beagleboard(revC)
then the keyboard & mouse works fine, but in this case Angstrom does
not boot up successfully (it gives some error of "kernel panic......")
I just have uImage file on the FAT partition of MMC card. Does anyone
have any idea whats going on here!?

Yes, your u-boot is too old. I seem to be saying that at least twice a week on this list and it never seems to fail to solve the usb problems. Except for Roger, but that's a different story

I tried different u-boots than also the same problem. In fact, my old
beagleboard has newer version of u-boot
U-Boot 2009.08 (Oct 20 2009 - 13:09:07)
and new beagleboard has version
U-Boot 2009.01-dirty (Feb 17 2009 - 18:06:05)

Thanks for the reply though.

Which Bitbake recipe to build the U-Boot 2009.08 (Oct 20 2009 - 13:09:07)?
Thanks,
Eric

Hello Eric Fung,
How do i check that!?

Bhargav · October 29, 2009, 7:41pm

Hello Robert,
No this is uImage-2.6.29-r46 got from the bitbake process.

RobertCNelson · October 29, 2009, 7:43pm

Hi,

Actually i was wondering if the u-boot you flashed on the older board
was from the angstrom-dev tree, which is currently:

"u-boot-2009.08+r32+gitr1590f84007e2b50ad346a482fff89195cb04ff4e-r32" aka "r32"

or where did you get it?

Regards,

Eric_Fung1 · October 29, 2009, 7:48pm

Hi Bhargav,

I am sorry to confuse you. Actually, I am asking someone who know the
bitbake recipe to build the latest and greatest u-boot for the
Beagleboard. I downloaded the binary of the Oct-20 version from Angstrom
Distribution site last week. and it works great with the adapter card I
designed which has I2C-2 and MMC2 on it.

Hi Robert,
I got u-boot from, http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/beagleboard-demo-image-available

Thanks for the repy,
Bhargav

RobertCNelson · October 29, 2009, 8:12pm

Sorry Bhargav,

I can't replicate this on my old rev b.. (u-boot has caused issues
like this previously...)

tested with: 2.6.32-rc5, 2.6.31.5, and 2.6.29-r44.1

Regards,

Bhargav · October 29, 2009, 8:33pm

Hi Robert,
Do you advice anything to try out to solve my problem.

Thanks for your reply,
Bhargav

RobertCNelson · October 29, 2009, 8:43pm

Hi Bhargav,

Normally i'd say it's your u-boot, but that doesn't seem to be the case...

Would you please pastebin your complete boot log? Something weird
might be happening around the kernel panic...

Regards,

Bhargav · October 29, 2009, 8:51pm

Here is the output of kernel message:
http://pastebin.com/m1bca8e78
Also keyboard/mouse works fine if i take uImage-2.6.28!?

Thanks,
Bhargav

RobertCNelson · October 29, 2009, 9:06pm

Something like this as root should enable the otg port...

insmod /lib/modules/2.6.29-omap1/kernel/drivers/usb/gadget/g_ether.ko

Bhargav · October 29, 2009, 9:17pm

Hi Robert,
I could not find "g_ether.ko" at the location given by you, but it is
somewhere else. So i tried the above command, but it gives:
insmod: error inserting '/lib/modules/2.6.29-omap1/2.6.28-omap1/kernel/
drivers/usb/gadget/g_ether.ko': -1 No such device

Thanks,
Bhargav

maybe then it is time to not depend on uboot for a working USB.....

I found that I needed to apply this patch:

http://www.beagleboard.org/gitweb/?p=linux-
2.6.git;a=commitdiff_plain;h=4c79dd4e88c57a860692eb23864b3f2030d6d459

Before I could get USB Host (on ehci) working. Not sure if you are
having trouble on the OTG or EHCI port.

I found that with this patch it worked on old and new version of u-
boot.

Cheers,

Benno
