- MW 01:36 PM Software Development: RE: mtdblock kernel crash
- Oh, if you need an /dev/mtdx device, you need to enable in the kernel:
CONFIG_MTD_CHAR
Should be in the device drivers->MTD config page.
Never had the chance to use mdev, but the device should be major 90, minor is 2x the device... - MW 01:31 PM Software Development: RE: mtdblock kernel crash
- Hi Zoltan,
Well, for the SPI issue, I have some information for you along with couple of work-arounds. Feel free to skip to the bottom for those if you like. Please note that there will also be some additional patches to the davinci...

- CM 11:05 AM Software Development: RE: Eval Board will not boot
- I tried re-seating the module several times with no success. Got same results with another kit's cables so I think cables are ok. Checked continuity of serial connector pins from socket on front thru holes to back of board and they all c...

- MW 01:08 PM Software Development: RE: Eval Board will not boot
- Hi Craig,
Other than trying to re-seat the module and the serial port cables in their respective connectors, I don't have any other suggestions. If the board is not presenting the "BOOTME" description, then there must be hardware fa... - CM 11:50 AM Software Development: RE: Eval Board will not boot

Board serial # is 110251. - MW 11:39 AM Software Development: RE: Eval Board will not boot
- Hi Craig,
Can you please monitor the console (115200 baud, no flow control) and, while holding the boot button down, press the reset button? You should see "BOOTME" appear on the screen. Can you please confirm?
Also, can you plea... - Purchased 3 kits 80-000268RI-1 with SoM L138-FI-225-RC. One kit does not boot when power is applied. Green LED does light to indicate power. Monitoring serial port in hyperterminal same as we did for the other two kits that boot fine. Fo...

Before you run the application, run the command: - ML 10:10 AM Software Development: RE: HelloWorldDSP.out syntax error
- Greg,
Is there anywhere in the wiki that explains how to set up the dsplink driver on the ARM? When I run ./HelloWorld HelloWorldDSP.out it fails to open the driver, which should be located in /dev/dsplink according to the error I ge... - GG 09:44 AM Software Development: RE: HelloWorldDSP.out syntax error
- Hi Marc,
With the latest MDK there is no need to rebuild DSPLink. I've updated the DSP Hello World wiki page to outline where the libraries are located that you need to link against in order to build the Hello World example for the AR... - ML 09:13 AM Software Development: RE: HelloWorldDSP.out syntax error
- I would prefer not to rebuild DSPLink. Is there somewhere I can find the HelloWorldDSP executable?

- TC 05:34 PM Software Development: RE: Industrial board USB mini-B connector problem
- Hi Zoltan -
You are correct. Thank you for pointing this out!
This fix will go into the next build of boards. I apologize for any inconvenience.
Thanks,
Tom - Hi,
Sorry I post my problem here, but there is no forum for the industrial board.
We had issues with some USB devices using the mini-B USB connector, and it seems the pin-out is wrong, and the ID (pin4) and GND (pin5) is swapped.

- Hi Mads,
I'm not seeing this same behavior on my system. Can you give me more details? It seems you're running with the latest MDK, but did you change anything else on your board? Namely, what dsplinkk.ko module are you loading (the o... - MC 07:21 AM Software Development: RE: HelloWorldARM DSPLINK example causes Assertion failed
- Should probably note that we are using the OMAPL138 module.
- Hi
When the HelloWorldARM (DSPLINK) example applications runs lpDspApp->StopApp() I get the following error:
Assertion failed (ipsEventList [i].eventHandlerCount == 0). File : /home/mitydsp/MDK_2011-03-31/sw/3rdparty/dsplink_linux_... - GG 02:16 PM Software Development: RE: HelloWorldDSP.out syntax error
- Hi Marc,
With the latest MDK you should not actually need to rebuild DSPLink (I'm updating the DSP Hello World wiki to reflect this now).
The kernel object for dspplink is located at MDK_2011-03-31/images/modules/dsplinkk.ko and t... - ML 01:39 PM Software Development: RE: HelloWorldDSP.out syntax error
- Oh ok, that clears up my confusion on how the DSP actually gets loaded with the executable. I dident realize HelloWorldDSP was an ARM executable, because I was stuck in the linux section of the guide where it asks you to
•Build DSPL... - MW 01:18 PM Software Development: RE: HelloWorldDSP.out syntax error
- Hi Marc,
The HelloWorldDSP.out is a DSP executable. It must be loaded by an ARM executable that uses the DSPLINK interface. The wiki instructions call for: - Hi,
I'm to the very last step of the DSP Hello World guide, but when I run ./HelloWorldDSP.out on the board, it gives me the error

- Mike,
I'm good with my version, and I'm not in a hurry to upgrade my kernel.
Btw I'm using mitydspl138 with the industrial base board (revD) (if it matters)
Thanks again for your help!
Zoltan - MW 12:28 PM Software Development: RE: mtdblock kernel crash
- Hi Zoltan,
We've confirmed the SPI issue and are working on it. There were a couple of patches to the (linus) mainline regarding the SPI drivers that may be impacting your use case (there was a problem with 65535 or more byte accesse... - ZC 12:18 PM Software Development: RE: mtdblock kernel crash
- Mike,
Here is some extra information:
1. SPI flash engine got broken on 4/23. 4/23 0:00 revision was ok, 4/24 0:00 kernel crash. (probably with the new spi engine)
2. The NAND mtdblock got broken on 3/21 (with the 8/16 bit chang... - ZC 10:02 AM Software Development: RE: mtdblock kernel crash
- I have the mtdblock0 write problem (read is ok), and I have the SPI crash when writing mtdblocks on the SPI flash (read is ok)
I put it in one post because both are mtdblock related

- MW 08:34 PM Software Development: RE: mtdblock kernel crash
- Oh, one other question....
Do you have anything running on the DSP while this is going on? Or is it still in IDLE / RESET?
- MW 08:32 PM Software Development: RE: mtdblock kernel crash
- 1. OK.
2. Fair enough, didn't catch that originally.
3. Sure, I'll get you something tomorrow.
Couple more questions, if you don't mind....
Do you happen to know what git revision you were using when life was good? Do you ha... - ZC 07:20 PM Software Development: RE: mtdblock kernel crash
- Thanks for the quick response!
1. Toolchain:
gcc version 4.5.1 (Sourcery G++ Lite 2010.09-50)
2. Root FS is in ram (NOT mtdblock0):
Kernel command line: mem=48M console=ttyS1,115200n8 root=/dev/ram0 rw initrd=0xc1180000,16M
3.... - MW 06:37 PM Software Development: RE: mtdblock kernel crash
- Can you try the same command without mounting /dev/mtdblock0 as the rootfs? (e.g., stay in your ram initrd filesystem)
It's a little weird that you're trolling around /dev/mtdblock0 NAND if you have it mounted as your root filesystem.... - ZC 06:34 PM Software Development: RE: mtdblock kernel crash
- Mike,
It was a clean copy. I've made changes only to make it buildable from Windows (Cygwin). But those changes were made for my previous kernel revision.
Btw "hexdump -C -n 64 /dev/mtdblock1" works fine.
Zoltan - MW 06:19 PM Software Development: RE: mtdblock kernel crash
- Hi Zoltan,
We'll need to try to reproduce this here. It may take a day to get to it.
When you rebuilt, did you do a make clean first? Or did you pull a clean copy of the kernel down?
-Mike

I've got the latest linux kernel image, defconfig'd it, enabled SPI flashes, and nuilt the kernel.

- Hi Marc,
I just sent you the additional files you need. Let us know if you run into any further issues.
Thanks,

- Hi,
I am also having trouble finding the prerequisite files for the PC side (dsp_main.cpp, dspcore.lib, ect). I downloaded the latest tarball release but couldent find any of them in it.

FYI, I just had a chance to try a bad configuration file, and the INIT pin was indeed low after programming.

- GG 10:35 AM Software Development: RE: Where can I get the files listed on the DSPLink Hello World wiki?
- Hi Mads,
Most of the files you need are in the latest tarball release. I've sent you the remaining files, which will be added as a part of our next release.
Let us know if you have any further issues.
\Greg - MC 07:14 AM Software Development: RE: Where can I get the files listed on the DSPLink Hello World wiki?
- Hi
I am also looking for these files...
Could you email me them too?
Many thanks,
