4 Replies and 3682 Views VM build failed to boot up  3682  4 Started by  minchun liu I installed Virtual Machine 2.3 on a Win7 PC. I manually created a folder in rootfs/myFolder and added my application files to it which is about 7MB. The build was fine. The folder was included in the file rootfs.ext2.gz.uboot. But I got Kernel Panic during boot-up, see the attached log. Could anyone tell me how to change the size of rm0 If I remove all the files in myFolder and only keep a file with a few KBytes, it can boot up successfully. Also the same Kernel Panic happens on VM 2.2. ...

0 Replies and 1671 Views Getting and Setting DM3730 ethaddr in uboot  1671  0 Started by  Joe Andrieu I'd like to use the eFuse MAC as the linux MAC, but the 4.2.2 BSP's linux is setting a random MAC every time.  My current strategy is to read the eFuse address in uboot and pass it to the kernel, but that's not quite working.   First, I'm not sure I'm reading the right registers.  From https://support.logicpd.com/TDGForum/tabid/124/aft/96/Default.aspx I discovered the CONTROL_FUSE_EMAC_LSB and CONTROL_FUSE_EMAC_MSB registers (addresses 0x4800 2380 a...

0 Replies and 1597 Views SD Card Bug Fix in U-Boot 2016.09  1597  0 Started by  Adam Ford Some kits, but not all appear to have an issue when booting from an SD card, the system may hang when starting the kernel. I pushed a fix to U-Boot which became part of the 2016.09 release which was publised on 12 September 2016.  I would suggest anyone who has started experimenting with the Beta BSP to upgrade the U-Boot release to 2016.09 if they are experiencing this issue. ftp://ftp.denx.de/pub/u-boot/u-boot-2016.09.tar.bz2   adam

0 Replies and 1691 Views Enable WiFi in Mainstream Linux (Torpedo Wireless)  1691  0 Started by  Adam Ford When building the kernel, make sure the following is enabled in the menuconfig: Networking Support ---> Wireless ---> nl80211 testmode command  If not, the WiFi may not scan. From there, you'll need to copy the NVS file from the 3.0.x kernel BSP. The stock BSP has 3 NVS files.  That driver have been modified to identify the chip type and load the corresponding driver.  Since the mainline kernel does not have this feature, you'll have to manually copy the nvs file.   By ...

17 Replies and 2024 Views Hidden SSID Support In BSP-2.3.2 (Linux v3.0)  2024  17 Started by  Deleted User Hi all, I want to use hidden SSID feature on DM3730 Wireless Torpedo SoM but I observe 'hidden SSID is not supported' error from wl12xx driver. I could not find a complete patch-set for hidden SSID feature. Thus, I merged related codes from vanilla Linux manually. Unfortunately, it did not work. Does anybody have an idea about that Any help is appreciated.

To solve the issue, I created the /etc/ld.so.conf.d directory and t...

13 Replies and 2804 Views UART with enabled DMA  2804  13 Started by  Deleted User Hello, We switched to BSP-2.4-4, but now we have issues with serial UARTs. We are using uart at ttyO2 with hw flow ctrl (cts/rts) enabled to communicate with some chip at 3Mbps (actual throughput on ttyO2 during the streaming is around 1.3Mbps). On the previous BSP 2.3-2 this worked just fine, except note 1, see below. With the new BSP-2.4-4, we have troubles, like this: -If we stream some bigger data on debug console (ttyO0), for example 'cat command' some big file, streaming on ttyO2 is ...
