QtMoko v44 for Freerunner now available

[Radek Polak]

Hi Freerunners,
QtMoko v44 is now available also for your phone. You can get images from here
[1] or you can upgrade existing system with simple:

        apt-get update
        apt-get upgrade

There are not so many new features. Most of the work went to GTA04 HW
adaptation, but still there is:

* improved qmplayer
* improved wifi GUI
* support for oFono
* some build and other fixes

As the GTA04 HW adaptation is getting finished, there will be now again more
of new features and fixes in future releases.

I haven't tested this release much. I cant easily flash the ubi - so this is
completely untested. If you find some regressions, please report.

Regards

Radek

Thanks for your great work!

Somewhat unrelated:
I found that suspending by echo mem > /sys/power/state sometimes fails and
"hangs" the FR. (on a 2.6.34 Kernel, on a 2.6.29 kernel it works fine )
Do you or anyone else know if there is something else required to susspend the
FR?

Kind regards,
Ed

Hi,

there is a collection of bugreports for this issue in the shr bug tracker:
http://trac.shr-project.org/trac/ticket/1758

maybe this helps.

echo mem > /sys/power/state should be enough. I think i havent mentioned which
kernel are you using?

Hi Radek,

With a 2.6.29 kernel it works fine.
With the 2.6.34 kernel from qtmoko V39 it sometimes hangs ( once every 10
suspends or so )

So i will follow the ticket as pointed out by Lukas.
( upgrading to 2.6.39 seems like a good way forward )

Kind regards.
Ed

Thanks Radek.

I've just noticed that there's a small issue with linux kernel dir name during
the upgrade:

After this operation, 0 B of additional disk space will be used.
Setting up linux-image-2.6.34-qtmoko-gta02 (v44-1) ...

I'm not sure which version I had in my freerunner before trying to update it to
v44. I'd suggest you to write next qtmoko version in /etc/issue{.net} files as
it's not a pure Debian chroot. So users will be able to easily identify which
is the current qtmoko version they have installed.

Hi,
oki, like the idea. It seems that i have messed up with v44 kernel version
version, it's now 34 instead of 44.

Got same error while updating.
Rebooted the device and usb networking interface disappeared from laptop
I'm using for FR network connection. cdc_ether module is not autoloading and dmesg shows nothing
when I connect FR to laptop using USB cable.

Also, your linux-image postinst script checks if the /boot/uImage.bin file
exists and makes dpkg database broken for a fresh v44 ubi image:

root@neo:/media# apt-get -f install
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree      
Reading state information... Done
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 3 not upgraded.

You can fix this using "-L" rather than "-e" in the following code:

# Create the /boot/uImage.bin symlink
if [ "$1" = "configure" ]; then
    UBOOT_IMAGE=/boot/uImage.bin
    if [ ! -e "$UBOOT_IMAGE" ]; then
        cd /boot && ln -s uImage.bin-"$VERSION" "$UBOOT_IMAGE"
    fi
fi

Thanks for your work,

Hi
Thanks for the new version Radek, fresh installed on my GTA02! It's ok
on the NAND, but on SD I'm unable to boot it. Qi apparently skips the
card and it boots from NAND instead. Is it because of the issue with the
v44 kernel for the GTA02? Thanks.

Joif

I'd be willing to bet it's something to do with your Qi setup or the SD
card setup as IIRC Qi polls the SD card first for a bootable partition
and only then boots from NAND.

HTH,

Brian

Maybe it is my SD card that is broken. I tried Qi from QtMoko v38 and
v44, installed QtMoko v38 and v44 on the SD, formatted the SD more than a
time, I am able to mount it (both on my pc and my GTA02), read and
write it, no errors shown by disk checks, but still no boot.

Because Qi doesn't show any output I cannot say what is going
on. Maybe I can use uboot but I don't know the parameters to select
the SD. I use the following for the boot from NAND:

 >setenv bootargs ${bootargs_base} ${mtdparts} rootfstype=ubifs
 >ubi.mtd=6,2048 root=ubi0:om-gta02-rootfs; nand read.e 0x32000000
 >kernel 0x300000; bootm 0x32000000

How can I adapt it for the SD?
Thanks

Joif

I think so too. IIRC i tried v44 from SD card and it worked, but i am now not
100% sure.

If POWER button is holded during qi initialization, it should make kernel more
verbose. Maybe there will be something interesting. You can also play with
/boot/append-GTA02 file and try rootdelay=10 instead of rootwait if that help.

I installed v44 last week on my GTA02 on SD card without problems. Seems
to run fine for me. :-)

Never mind, now it works. I'm pretty sure that something got wrong
during unmounting operations of my SD. Thanks anyway! :)
