[opensuse-arm] Raspberry Pi 3 interrupt handling
by Roger Oberholtzer 13 Dec '17

13 Dec '17

We have written a minimal kernel interrupt handler for the Raspberry Pi 3. It is running the current 64-bit Tumbleweed kernel. I am curious about the rate of interrupts that we might be able to capture. The ISR does little other than run when a raising edge interrupt happens. We are looking at /proc/interrupts to see how many interrupts have happened. We see that at around 23 kHz we begin to loose interrupts. The system is not doing anything else. Does that seem reasonable? I have not seen any good discussion of this. I think it is rather low. I am guessing that the issue is how the Linux kernel responds to interrupts. The housework in setting things up so that the interrupt can run must be the resource hog. Opinions? Suggestions? -- Roger Oberholtzer -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-arm+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-arm+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-arm] [aarch64] TW on Pinebook?
by Alex Naumov 12 Dec '17

12 Dec '17

Hello, yesterday I finally got my 14'' Pinebook [1]. There is Ubuntu 16.04 MATE as a default OS, but I would like to use openSUSE TW on it of course. So, I found raw.xz XFCE-image for aarch64 [2] and used this command "to burn" image on the microSD card: # unxz -c openSUSE-Tumbleweed-ARM-XFCE-efi.aarch64-2017.06.10-Build2.3.raw.xz | sudo dd of=/dev/mmcblk1p No success. Pinebook tried to boot from microSD card, but... it seems that there is something wrong with bootloader. Here [3] I found this command: # xzcat openSUSE-Tumbleweed-ARM-XFCE-efi.aarch64-2017.06.10-Build2.3.raw.xz | dd bs=4M of=/dev/ mmcblk1p oflag=sync Exactly the same... image is there, echo $? tells 0, but pinebook ignore it. Image on microSD card is marked as a bootable. I checked it with parted(8). I asked Google and it showed me this [4]. This is HOWTO for fedora 21 on Cubietruck, but there is one interesting thing: step (4) Write U-Boot to Media. Do we also need to install bootloader extra? Because, as I said, for me it seems like a bootloader problem. If yes, where is this script or documentation about it? Also I would ask about rootfs-images. Do we have some information/HOWTOs about these?

Hi Daniel, Let's move the discussion to opensuse-arm list.

There's multiple issues at play here: 1) This is not a module compile-time dependency issue, but rather a run-time dependency issue, which AFAIU dracut is not resolving today. As a result the JeOS images in openSUSE:Factory:ARM etc. contain a number of add_drivers entries to load such extra modules: https://build.opensuse.org/package/view_file/openSUSE:Factory:ARM/JeOS/conf… That is of course ugly and would be nice to get resolved differently. Dracut would need to parse the Device Tree in /sys/firmware/ to discover what regulator, clock, power domain, etc. nodes are being referenced, then read their "compatible" strings and resolve them to the modules to add. The kernel uses generic API calls such as clk_get() and regulator_get(), thus no compile-time dependency for e.g. mmc modules. However when updating from 4.13 to 4.14 or from 4.14-rc4 to -rc8 it would've still read the current Device Tree and not discovered this new dependency for next boot. And Kiwi images get built in KVM, which will have a different Device Tree than the user's system or even ACPI. So I don't see a full solution yet. Let me know if I should report this somewhere upstream - it didn't seem a distro-specific issue for our Bugzilla. https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/boot/dracut/dracut.html#_troubleshoo… explains what info to include in a bug report, but not actually where to file it. ;) No link on dracut.wiki.kernel.org either. 2) axp20x-rsb driver does have MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(of, ...), so it is unclear to me why the DT -> module resolution for auto-loading is not working here. https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/dri… It is almost certainly an upstream kernel issue, possibly in sunxi-rsb bus driver. Stefan has already reported this on #linux-sunxi. > Otherwise, the "proper" dracut patch would > looks something like the attached one. Hm, instmod is just the equivalent of "add_drivers", is it? That would not be enough here. Also not all ARM systems need this driver, it's an extra chip on some boards only. What you could do is more generally add all =drivers/mfd drivers. But if we keep adding drivers by category instead of addressing the underlying discovery issue, we risk at some point the initrd getting too large for low-RAM systems.

[opensuse-arm] Error in C++ compiler on Rasberry Pi 2
by Freek de Kruijf 22 Nov '17

22 Nov '17

Recently I tried to use all Tumbleweed images on my three Raspberry Pi's (1B, 2B, and 3B). I did not experience problems with booting the image. Also upgrading to the newest version works OK. After that I tried to generate a third party package from GitHub, SBFspot, om my Raspberry Pi 2B. Generating means a.o. compiling a C++ module. The compiler produced a fatal internal error, which I reported on bugzilla. https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1068967 I would not expect such an error from a compiler. Should I report this error also somewhere upstream? If, yes, where? -- fr.gr.
