I've written this now: https://github.com/hackerspace/olpc-xo175-linux/wiki/How-to-run-an-up-to-date-Linux-on-a-XO-1.75 I didn't test it yet -- will do when I get home in the evening. But chances are it's good enough and I guess you'd be able to get it working even if I messed up some details. Please let me know if it works for you -- I'm having trouble getting reviews/acks/tested-bys for the XO-1.75 patch sets [1] and will be super thankful if I get some feedback from you.

I went to this branch: commit f99b274084d320814f4b035a7e3455af424229ea Author: Lubomir Rintel <lkundrak@v3.sk> Date: Sun Aug 5 23:11:27 2018 +0200 First comment: the zImage size adjusting hack should really be somewhere in tools/ and preferably in python. This is way beyond reasonable use of shell. > Please let me know if it works for you -- I'm having trouble getting > reviews/acks/tested-bys for the XO-1.75 patch sets [1] and will be > super thankful if I get some feedback from you. > > [1] https://lore.kernel.org/patchwork/bundle/lkundrak/OLPC%20XO%201.75/ You want to just continue without them :-). As long as you don't change the core code, you should be ok. Pavel

Instruction say make, but you really need to do make zImage and make mmp2-olpc-xo-1-75.dtb . Instructions say "make -j", which is nice way to crash a machine. I suggest "make -j 8" :-). Ok, I think I followed the instructions. I am using empty root filesystem, just with /boot -- want to see kernel messages first before I mess with the userland. But I don't get kernel messages during boot: OLPC 1B1, 512 MiB memory... OpenFirmware Q4C02 EC Frimware 0.3.02 Type any key to interrupt... (but keys do not interrupt anything, ouch). Warning... partition type is 0xb... Boot device: /usb/disk:\boot\olpc.fth Arguments: Boot device .... Warning... partition type is 0xb... And that's it, cursor and no kernel messages. Any ideas? Could I get prepared binary zImage for testing? Thanks, Pavel

Have you tried? I'm typically doing just a plain "make". According to "make help", a plain "make" (assuming it's equivalent to "make all") includes "zImage" and "dtbs" targets. > > Instructions say "make -j", which is nice way to crash a machine.

And the framebuffer console (though only by the means of a hacked pxa168fb for the time being, no armada drm yet) works. Here's my bootup banner: OLPC 1B1, 800 MHz, 512 MiB memory, 4 GB internal storage... OpenFirmware Q4D38 EC Firmware 1.0.01 2018-10-30 19:11:36 UTC I seem to have a bit newer OF. > Type any key to interrupt... > (but keys do not interrupt anything, ouch). In my version of the OLPC OF the routine is replaced with one that only accepts the Escape key, because kids like to press random keys without really wanting a shell. Maybe try that one? Although my prompt is also a bit different: "Type the Esc key to interrupt automatic startup" > Warning... partition type is 0xb... > Boot device: /usb/disk:\boot\olpc.fth Arguments: > Boot device .... > Warning... partition type is 0xb... Maybe the older version wouldn't support a VFAT volume, hence the complains about the id=0xb volume? Try ext3? > > And that's it, cursor and no kernel messages. > > Any ideas? > > Could I get prepared binary zImage for testing? https://github.com/hackerspace/olpc-xo175-buildroot/releases Here's a SD card image that works for me. The topmost commit in the same repository is the build configuration that was used to generate it: https://github.com/hackerspace/olpc-xo175-buildroot/commit/71783d599.patch Note it is only going to boot off the SD card, because the root= argument is hardwired in the devicetree. Sorry about that -- I built the image before I noticed you're booting off an USB stick and I don't have the resources to regenerate the image at the moment. If this won't boot for you, we may need fixes for older FW. Until then it might be a good idea if you just update to the latest one (it is as easy as booting the last version of the stock distro with a charged battery pack). > Thanks. > > > Pavel Take care Lubo

That firmware has problems with USB drives. Please upgrade to Q4D38. Quickest tested method is http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Upgrading_firmware I'm firmware releaser and signer. > And that's it, cursor and no kernel messages. > > Any ideas? > > Could I get prepared binary zImage for testing? > > Thanks, > Pavel > -- > (english) http://www.livejournal.com/~pavelmachek > (cesky, pictures) http://atrey.karlin.mff.cuni.cz/~pavel/picture/horses/blog.html
G'day, Success, see below.

Your image does boot for me - after changing features on filesystem. http://dev.laptop.org/~quozl/y/1gHh5m.txt (dmesg) dumpe2fs of your image filesystem features; has_journal ext_attr resize_inode dir_index filetype flex_bg sparse_super large_file huge_file dir_nlink extra_isize metadata_csum, and flags; signed_directory_hash. dumpe2fs of my image filesystem features; has_journal ext_attr resize_inode dir_index filetype extent flex_bg sparse_super uninit_bg dir_nlink extra_isize, and flags; unsigned_directory_hash. Our OLPC OS builder uses "mkfs.ext4 -O dir_index,^huge_file", from e2fsprogs 1.42.5. I'll look at the microSD card errors; by trying another one. Fantastic progress though, thanks! Wish I were a full time kernel developer, but so much else to do now. > If this won't boot for you, we may need fixes for older FW. Let me know what you need there; with a patch, and if it isn't too extensive I could spin a new build. We're not producing these models, so I don't _have_ to keep the factory test code working. https://github.com/quozl/openfirmware

(First boot userland boots, then blinking cursor; next boot filesystem is corrupted. Hmm.)

I'd need more instructions for firmware update. Or maybe ... lets ignore that. SD card is fine, and I don't want to brick it. I already broken it enough that keys need to be held during boot (or it does not boot). Best regards, Pavel

Please upgrade to Q4D38. > Quickest tested method is http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Upgrading_firmware Let me try that... Upgrading firmware said "USB drive" so I placed bootfw.zip on usb drive. It did quite a show, but I believe it said that my firmware is up to date? It all ended with "activation lease not found" message. Let me retry? Same result. Let me try "upgrading firmware" with SD card. It seems to work with SD card. Holding down both "yes" and "no" keys during boot results in more useful messages... good. I have now updated firmware, and it even fixed my previous boot problem. Good. Thanks! Pavel

Success, too... after re-doing the filesystem with local mkfs. One thing I noticed: olpc-battery/voltage_max_design is lower than voltage normally reported by voltage_now. I'll play with it some more Best regards, Pavel

You see that crazy sed magic script? sed "s/^\(0*20: .... .... .... .... .... ....\) $BEFORE/\1 $AFTER/" | Do this with the regular expression. My xxd actually has different number of leading zeros, and so fails... And with that fixed, I have self-compiled kernel that actually boots. Yuppie! Thanks! Pavel
