Greetings,

In order to make sure that other problems are not being caused by out-of-date firmware, I'm starting with an update to uboot.

I downloaded the efikamx-updated.img.gz, copied it to an SD card, and booted the box. I verified that the card is OK as it has the right files:


> ls -l /a/dev/sdd1/
total 3366
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1093 Dec 13 2010 boot.scr*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 5 Dec 7 2010 type_id.bin*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 165060 Dec 13 2010 ubootsb.bin*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 3275204 Dec 7 2010 uImage*

This is a vFAT partition.

Booting the card yields the log at the end of this message. A couple of comments.

o This appears to be an older uboot running on the system, from November. Is this really an old version?
o The error about the unrecognized power-off command also suggests that the boot script is newer than the version of uboot.
o The error on fatload seems to indicate that uboot cannot read the SD card. I was able to read the card by executing mmcinit; mmcprobe 0:1; fatls mmc 0:1 / . I could read boot.scr into memory can dump it, but uboot wouldn't execute it.

So, how can I upgrade uboot?

Just a note: display problems are nothing to do with the firmware. Display is initialized only in the kernel.
This is the latest. I'm looking into your problem right now.

Can you log in to the system (you have serial console) and please get the output of dmesg here so we can see what the kernel is doing?

Indeed. I just want to make sure that everything running on the target is up to date.

When running the maverick image installer it looks like uboot is working OK. Without video out it's hard to tell where it is hung-up. I don't see a login prompt on the console but that may just be because it's working on the flash drive. The USB keyboard isn't being initialized though since the capslock won't toggle.

Interesting. The armhf SD image works fine. It's a little low to boot. but I am seeing video output.

I don't know what kernel that's using to be honest (I have a doubt it's the 2.6.31 one). Is the display resolution fixed (800x600 or so?) - can you paste the dmesg out?

If the Maverick installer card is hanging and not giving you a serial console that's far, far more scary than just not getting a display. This implies that the kernel tried to set a display mode and absolutely couldn't, which is actually tantamount to impossible (it will always, always set a 640x480 mode which is the minimum size Plymouth needs). If it is hanging at Plymouth then that means you're using perhaps the March image, which can trip on monitors that don't give valid EDID, which would explain the lack of USB keyboard. Have you tried the May or July/August images?

I'm using this image.

# md5sum maverick-20110722.img.xz
395e0069554a74259d46bac7b4fa5ca9 maverick-20110722.img.xz

This image worked fine on the first efikamx device I had.

I'll see if I can modify the command line for booting the maverick installer and capture the boot messages. I'll also check the kernel version for the armhf build.

Below are some of the captured log entries for the armhf build

And here is the boot log from the maverick installer. I removed the 'quiet' keyword from the command line. I didn't add the video initialization clause that the armhf uses.

My USB mouse lights up so we know it is being enumerated. The keyboard doesn't respond to capslock. BTW, it's an old Apple keyboard.

What is the make/model of the monitor you're using? Are you connected via hdmi or an hdmi->dvi adapter?

It's a old Dell 1907FP. I'm using an HDMI cable with an HDMI to DVI adapter. The monitor has a DVI input.

FWIW, adding the video= command line option had no effect on the maverick boot.

The video= option is only for a mainline kernel.

Whoops, you did already, so the question is, what change between .23 and .24 broke your display.

I'm not sure what you mean. I started with the efikamx as shipped. No video output. Then I tried the stock maverick install image. No video output. I tried the armhf image as distributed and there is video out. So, the monitor cables, and some of the efikamx hardware must be OK. I had used the same maverick installer on a previous efikamx device no problem.

IMHO, the question is what could have changed in the hardware that is preventing either the stock installed system image from driving video *and* is preventing the maverick installer from working.

I suppose, yes, we could look at the kernel changes. The diff is 12000 lines in 48 commits. Bisecting it may work. Though it seems like you have a more pressing issue if an efikamx, as shipped, doesn't work.

Any news on figuring out what could be the root cause? Do you need me to send the box back?

How my LCDs work changed with almost every release. I have three LCDs, all with DVI, so I use a HDMI->DVI converter.
The latest release works fine with an LG Flatron, but has trouble with my main LCD, a 22" Samsung. But it can be worked around: just by pushing the buttons on the Samsung it does not go to sleep mode, where the smarttop does not recognize it. AFAIR, earlier releases had no problem using the Samsung even without pushing its buttons on boot.
And the ARMHF port also uses a completely different kernel...
