[SOLVED] Note 1: Bring back fpga char device

• /dev/xdevfg got obsolete - there's fpga manager instead which cannot load *.bit (only *.bin or *.bit.bin)
• Solution:

Brought back the old driver (drivers/char/xilinx_devcfg.c and edited Kconfig and Makefile)- it works as it used to

[SOLVED] Note 2: Build php 5.6.40

• php 5.6.40 - EOL and won't build - mysql supposedly moved header files.
• Solution:

Disabled mysql extension:
To meta-elphel393/recipes-devtools/php/php_5.6.%.bbappend:
    PACKAGECONFIG[mysql] = "--without-mysql --without-mysqli --without-pdo-mysql"
    CFLAGS += " -ldl"

[SOLVED] Note 3: Entropy device hwrng

• New package rng-tools is whining: Failed to init entropy source hwrng
• Solution:

Leave as is for now. The full log is:
Initalizing available sources
Failed to init entropy source hwrng
Enabling JITTER rng support
Initalizing entropy source jitter

• Comments:
  • Haven't found if Xilinx uses any driver for /dev/hwrng
  • TODO: Find out if the order of entropy sources can be changed

- Note 4: PHP causing 'unsupported FP instruction in kernel mode'

• autocampars.php runs at boot and sometimes causes Kernel Oops:

Unsupported floating point instruction in kernel?

• Is it hardware (some faulty board? temperature based?) or kernel or php?

• solution?:

Took arch/vfp/vfpmodule.c from kernel 4.19
The current was 4.14
It didn't work. Roll back and check which php call caused it?

• TODO: keep an eye on this, because the real reason is not investigated

[SOLVED] Note 5: Bring up NAND OTP support

• MAC is not read from NAND, displays the default: 00:0e:64:10:00:00
• Problem?

[    3.639851] elphel393-init: Flash page read, code -95

• Comments:
  • Lookup what had changed.
• Solution: (for xlnx_rebase_v4.14 branch of linux-xlnx):

In drivers/mtd/nand_base.c in nand_scan_tail() they call nand_manufacturer_init()
which is mapped to a new driver drivers/mtd/nand_micron.c.
So, when it fails - the driver init fails - mtd functions do not get assigned. 
(And the driver (drivers/elphel/elphel393_init.c) that reads from OTP area returns
-95 which is EOPNOTSUPP.)
We just need to fall through for a quick fix.

The reason that function exits with an error is it decides that it does not support
forcefully enabled on-die ECC. And this needs to be investigated.

[SOLVED] Note 6: udev - unknown group 'kvm'

• Problem:

[    5.817352] udevd[1478]: starting version 3.2.7
[    5.918028] udevd[1478]: specified group 'kvm' unknown
[    5.986364] udevd[1479]: starting eudev-3.2.7
[    6.142897] udevd[1479]: specified group 'kvm' unknown

• Solution:

KVM == Kernel-based Virtual Machine. Remove for now (and maybe forever)
.
└── udev
    ├── eudev
    │   └── 50-udev-default.rules
    └── eudev_3.2.7.bbappend

50-udev-default.rules - gets installed over the original file.

[SOLVED] Note 7: Add back fixup for Atheros to updated ethernet driver

• Problem:

Ethernet driver's structure has changed. It was split into several files.
Lives at /driver/net/ethernet/cadence/

• Soluton:

For out ethernet chip (Atheros 80xx) a fixup had to be added to disable SmartEEE.
It's a single function, call and a couple defines - added all back to the new driver structure.

[SOLVED] Note 8: u-boot update

• update u-boot
• solution:

Updated to 2019.07 mainstream u-boot
- converted our *.h (with params used to generate SPL header) to Kconfigs
- updated driver for NAND flash - tested both boot modes - mmc and nand

[SOLVED] Note 9: test camogm

• test camogm

/var/state/camogm_cmd accepts only the first write - switch to polling?
when switched to polling - when recording - buffer gets overflow. Because the polling version does not work correctly probably.
All is working for the version without polling - after adding EOF reset (clearerr(npipe)) right after reading from the pipe and checking if feof().

[SOLVED] Note 10: test streamer

• test streamer

Streamer works

[SOLVED] Note 11: test AHCI driver

• test ahci driver
• results:

- SSD is detected and automounted
- write/read works

- Note 12: test raw recording

• test recording on a raw partition
