PB 04:13 AM Software Development: RE: kernel 3.2 - tcpip stack latency
Hi Greg,
Than you for your feedback.
Indeed, flag CONFIG_PREEMPT is set in kernel config. As far as we can see, there is no issue on the thread itself.
We use VLAN tag to route the traffic specifically from the devices to our c...

GG 01:30 PM Software Development: RE: kernel 3.2 - tcpip stack latency
Hi Patrice,
Since you are using SCHED_RR I am assuming you are using CONFIG_PREEMPT in your kernel config, correct?
Does your design have any sort of network traffic shaping or advanced traffic control in place? I do not think an...

PB 06:26 AM Software Development: kernel 3.2 - tcpip stack latency
Hello,
We've built an application receiving messages from two devices at a rate of 1 message of 1440 bytes every 10 ms in a thread schedule in SCHED_RR priority 70. This is the higher priority user thread in the system.
A network tra...

JC 05:43 PM Software Development: RE: Flashing a new kernel to NOR from Linux rather than u-boot
Alternatively it may be possible for you to build the kernel features as modules and insert them in the live system. Would like to see the output of the commands mentioned above first. Jonathan Cormier
JC 05:39 PM Software Development: RE: Flashing a new kernel to NOR from Linux rather than u-boot
Fred,
Do you have /dev/mtdblock* devices? My kernel boot args have this "root=/dev/mtdblock0", so my assumption is that you will need to have the mtdblocks enabled inorder to boot from nand.
If you do have the mtdblock devices it ...

FW 05:26 PM Software Development: Flashing a new kernel to NOR from Linux rather than u-boot
We use opkg to push updates to our products that are installed in the field. We now need a way to update the kernel, which is saved in NOR on the MityDSP-l138 som. A search of the CL wiki shows:
@flashcp -v uImage /dev/mtd7@

JC 05:14 PM Software Development: RE: How to configure the GPIOs as outputs?
Do note that the custom baseboard instructions were written for the 335x family. So some things will be slightly different. For example:
Instead of @arch/arm/mach-omap2/@ you should look in @arch/arm/mach-davinci@ for the board (boar...

Regarding your specific questions, yes, you could use memmap to set aside a particular chunk of memory. Where you set it up depends on the amount of memory in your module and I expect you could access it from base SDRAM address @0x8000_0... Bob Duke

BD 05:14 PM Software Development: RE: JFFS2 "scheduling while atomic" problem with L138 running linux kernel 3.2
Sorry I missed that Fred.
You can just make the change (swapping two lines) yourself for testing, or you can apply the commit via Jon's instruction.
If that fixes your problem, we can push it to our main branch.

JC 05:07 PM Software Development: RE: JFFS2 "scheduling while atomic" problem with L138 running linux kernel 3.2
The patch was included in the 3.2.18 kernel release. You can cherry-pick the patch from there to verify it fixes your issue. Jonathan Cormier

Looks like someone already did the backport of the fix. The patch is very straight forward.

JC 11:34 AM Software Development: RE: Problems with the first time configuration
Hector, I'm not sure what commands you ran but the nand commands you show shouldn't have created this. It appears you've erased the u-boot part from the SPI NOR. You will need to follow the [[Reprogramming_a_Dead_Board]] guide. Jonathan Cormier

Hector could you include the full boot log? It also much easier for me if you copy the text into a text file and upload that instead of taking a picture snapshot of the bootlog.
