DVI doesn't work at BeagleBoard xM rev A3

The following patch fixes this issue:
http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=rsalveti/ubuntu-maverick.git;a=commitdiff;h=16d5356aa8fca160be67b8696789672e1e9df2c9;hp=d1dfa2de39451a3041654714575d2ba817508cb3

Tested on my xM A and it worked the same way as before, now we just need someone with an A3 to test and report the result.

To test just mount the first partition on your SD card and overwrite your uImage with http://people.canonical.com/~rsalveti/maverick/xM/uImage file, like:
$ mkdir /tmp/mount
$ mount /dev/sdb1 /tmp/mount
$ wget http://people.canonical.com/~rsalveti/maverick/xM/uImage -O uImage

Unmount, put the card at your board and turn it on.

Also updated https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ARM/OMAPMaverickInstall pointing the new uImage, so users are able to install Ubuntu on xM A3.

SRU Justification for linux (Ubuntu):

Impact: With BeagleBoard xM rev A3 the DVI_PU is now used and connected to GPIO 2 on TPS65950. Without setting up this GPIO the DVI will be off, and the user will be unable to install and use the distro.

Fix: The problem is fixed by setting up the GPIO 2 on TPS65950 for when running at Beagle xM. There's no problem when setting this GPIO in previous xM revisions as it's not connected. For more details please see http://beagleboard.org/hardware/design.

Testcase: When booting with current kernel on xM A3 you should be unable to use the DVI. After applying the fix it should work the same way as with previous xM revisions.

From Beagle ML: http://groups.google.com/group/beagleboard/browse_thread/thread/27bf738eb9668b3c/fc32ef8db56f0562

So it seems it's working fine, forwarding the fix to the kernel team.

Accepted linux-linaro into maverick-proposed, the package will build now and be available in a few hours. Please test and give feedback here. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you in advance!

I did step by step install as per on BB XM Rev A3 https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ARM/OMAPMaverickInstall And did

cd /media/boot ( /dev/sdb1 of my SDCard )
wget http://people.canonical.com/~rsalveti/maverick/xM/uImage -O uImage

cd /media/rootfs/boot ( ./dev/sdb2 of my SDCard )

wget http://people.canonical.com/~rsalveti/maverick/xM/vmlinuz-2.6.35-22-omap -O vmlinuz-2.6.35-22-omap

Umount and reboot, Still no output on the HDMI / DVI ( Not even a flicker to suggest its a resolution issue ), Looks like there is no DVI Signal at all.

Can you try getting the boot log from your board, with the downloaded kernel?

If you need instructions to activate the console, please follow the next steps:
1. Mount the first SD card partition;
2. # cd /media/6B57-ED78/
3. # dd if=boot.scr of=boot.script bs=1 skip=72
4. Edit boot.script, add "console=ttyS2,115200n8" and remove "quiet" at the setenv line, like:
  setenv bootargs vram=12M omapfb.mode=dvi:1280x720MR-16@60 root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 fixrtc console=ttyS2,115200n8 earlyprintk=ttyS2 loglevel=8
5. # mkimage -A arm -T script -C none -n "Ubuntu boot script" -d boot.script boot.scr
6. Unmount the sd card and boot it on your board

After this you should be able to see the kernel boot log at the uart.

Please find below console logs ( Captured with a freshly flashed image ), I still dont see anything in the Display ( LCD TV ), It stops at Configuring additional binfmt support and as I understand the next step is GUI.

Attaching Xorg.0.log as well, ( Taken from Mounting SD card offline )

I was able to run Ubuntu 10.10 on my Beagleboard-xM A3 (following the instructions from https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ARM/OMAPMaverickInstall). However, it was slow. I checked the /proc/cpuinfo and found out the Bogomips was less than 600.

Then I rebooted the BB-xM with the original Angstrom SD card. Checked the /proc/cpuinfo and the Bogomips was 999.xx.

Was there anything I did wrong to install Ubuntu 10.10? Please advise! Thanks

This bug is awaiting verification that the kernel in -proposed solves the problem. Please test the kernel and update this bug with the results. If the problem is solved, change the tag 'verification-needed' to 'verification-done'.

If verification is not done by Thursday, November 11, this fix will be dropped from the source code, and this bug will be closed.

See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you!

Hi Tobin,

Can you confirm which kernel was tested - the one from the 'linux' source package, or the one from the 'linux-linaro' source package? (The linux-linaro package has already been published to maverick-updates, so I guess testing 'linux' is most important now.)

Steve,

I would assume it is the Ubuntu kernel, as the person that actually tested it used the maverick image and followed the directions at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ARM/OMAPMaverickInstall to fix it before booting. He then enabled maverick-proposed based on the instructions at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed to enable the proposed updates and updated the kernel using apt-get dist-upgrade. I don't think the linaro kernel is used in this process, but I am waiting for him to verify.

Angstrom's kernel has cpufreq and PM working, and it overclock the CPU
when needed, something we're not doing by default (because we're
mainly using the upstream 2.6.35 for Maverick).

Patches included at master branch, but still waiting for a proposed kernel with the fix included. I believe we'll be getting the proposed Ubuntu-2.6.35-23.37 soon.

Finally accepted (linux-image-omap) into maverick-proposed. Please test and give feedback here. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thanks in advance!

Verification that this bug is fixed has not been completed by the deadline for the current stable kernel release cycle.
The change will be reverted and this bug is being set to incomplete.

In order to have this fix considered for reapplication to the kernel, please follow the process documented here:

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/StableReleaseCadence

Discussions about the new process tend to take place in #ubuntu-kernel on IRC, so please contribute to the discussion there if you would like.

Thank you!

Actually this bug was already verified at the time Tobin asked the community guy to test the fix. The new kernel was uploaded to proposed at 11-05, and the tester reported his result at 11-08 (so the verification was done at time). I was kind of confused because the I thought the user tested the linaro's kernel, instead of ours, as it got the fixes first, but then talking with Tobin by IRC it was clear that the user just followed the instructions from https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed and gave apt-get upgrade.

Accepted linux into maverick-proposed, the package will build now and be available in a few hours. Please test and give feedback here. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you in advance!

Sorry about that - a script misfired.
