 +
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
 +
 +
==<font color='green'>'''[SOLVED]'''</font> 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.
 +
 +
==<font color='green'>'''[SOLVED]'''</font> Note 6: udev - unknown group 'kvm'==

 +
[    6.142897] udevd[1479]: specified group 'kvm' unknown
 +
 +
* Solution:
 +

 +
 +
50-udev-default.rules - gets installed over the original file.
 +
 +
==<font color='green'>'''[SOLVED]'''</font> 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.
 +
 +
==<font color='green'>'''[SOLVED]'''</font> 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
 +
 +
==<font color='green'>'''[SOLVED]'''</font> 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().
 +
 +
==<font color='green'>'''[SOLVED]'''</font> Note 10: test streamer==
 +
* test '''streamer'''
 +
Streamer works
 +
 +
==<font color='green'>'''[SOLVED]'''</font> Note 11: test AHCI driver==
 +

==<font color='green'>'''[SOLVED]'''</font> Note 13: FLIR Lepton 3.5 sensor: NULL pointer dereference==

[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'

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

[SOLVED] Note 13: FLIR Lepton 3.5 sensor: NULL pointer dereference

  • Solution:
Forgot to pull the latest device tree with lepton description
Old device tree didn't have i2c configuration for lepton hence something returned NULL
