Leading to the following output from a freshly powered on E3:
Hurrah! This is great news; it means that sometime soon I should finally be able to get rid of the serial cable...
Unfortunately I'm now stuck at the point where I can turn on the E3, have PBL load !LDR from NAND, !LDR load u-boot from NAND, u-boot load the kernel from NAND, the kernel does its uncompression, then hangs. Whereas if I load the same !LDR image to PBL over the serial port loading everything else from NAND works fine. So I need to track down what PBL twiddles when loading something from NAND that's breaking it all.
Er, and now bizarrely I find that disabling CONFIG_DEBUG_MUTEXES means it boots, which just seems wrong.
Very strange, how on earth did you find out that disabling CONFIG_DEBUG_MUTEXES made it work? Well done on getting it to boot.
This means I now have an E3 that will boot (albeit slowly) without having to be fed anything over the serial port. I'll try and get a tarball of bits and instructions together this week so some other brave soul can try and let us know if it works for them too. :)
Once I have rebuilt my E3 I'll do that!
What's everyone else working on at present and how's it going?
Not much. Last thing I was working was the sound. I would really like to get the mixer working properly (well at all!). I tried building the sound driver as a module and running the commands that put the modem into speaker phone mode and then install the sound driver, but it still comes out the handset and I can't find a data sheet for the Voice Codec :-/. If anyone else has time could they try the same trick (build sound driver a module, put modem into speaker phone mode, install sound driver) and let me know if it works for them, or any other idea's for getting this to work (Cliff :-))
