Hi there,

A major update has been done on TI PPA. Please read the below e-mail

*New installation procedure:*
  1- Add TI OMAP release PPA:
    $ sudo su -
    # export http_proxy=<your proxy if any>
    # export https_proxy=<your proxy if any>
    # add-apt-repository ppa:tiomap-dev/release
  2- Perform the upgrade:
    $ sudo apt-get update
    $ sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
    $ sudo apt-get install ubuntu-omap4-extras
  3- You can re-run a dist-upgrade for safety at the end, then reboot

*Update procedure:*
1- Perform the upgrade:
    $ sudo apt-get update
    $ sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
2- Re-install dkms package - if not omapdrm_pvr module will not load

* after the installation/update, it is advised to log as default user and
to execute:
    # On Panda 4430:
    $ /usr/bin/alsaucm -c Panda set _verb HiFi
    # On PandaES 4460:
    $ /usr/bin/alsaucm -c PandaES set _verb HiFi
* You need to force installation of new bootloaders through command:
    $ sudo /usr/sbin/flash-kernel --update-bootloader
* It is advised to use Ubuntu 2D instead of Ubuntu (3D) default UI.
Nevertheless, main compiz issues have been fixed.

*New/Fixed in August 2012 release:*
 * Audio support on Headset is back
 * H264 video encoder. No camera support yet but Support for combo
use-cases such as: v4l2 camera -> preview -> encode -> decode -> display.
   Below is an example of VTC (videoconference) e.g. V4L2 USB webcam +
preview + encode + decode + display, using V4L2, DRI2 and PVR.
     gst-launch -v v4l2src ! stridetransform ! queue ! tee name=t \
     t. ! queue ! dri2videosink sync=false \
     t. ! queue ! ducatih264enc rate-preset=low-delay profile=100 !
h264parse ! ducatih264dec ! queue ! pvrvideosink sync=false
 * xbmc package compatible with the release has been copied into TI release
PPA
 * Bug Fixes...

*Known Issues:*
* BT is not supported
* Black screen issue on some HW - workaround: boot with screen un-plugged,
plug it after 1 minute. Issue under investigation.

*Support:*
You can report issues on Launchpad directly, use
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-omap4-extras-multimedia or
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-omap4-extras-graphics. We will push
updates for bug fixes in the PPA, so make sure to keep your system
up-to-date!

*Reference/Reminder:*

The 'top-level' ubuntu-omap-extras will install the following packages:
 - ubuntu-omap-extras-multimedia: another meta package that installs all
the requires packages for MM use case:
   * GST, a modified version still compatible with all Ubuntu apps such as
totem
   * gst-ducati and libDCE the main components that bring MM h/w
acceleration into the system
   * the ducati DCE firmware including the following codecs: MPEG4/H264
decode + VC1/MPEG2 decode (no encoders for now. it will come soon).
 - ubuntu-omap-extras-graphics: meta package that pulls in all GFX
components including new X11 driver (binary blob) and SGX kernel module
(source using DKMS to build)
 - ubuntu-omap-extras-config: some config scripts to set some permission
issues, and to ensure that the Ducati firmware is loaded at boot time by
upstart.

This release comes with the following major changes:
 - DCE interface for the h/w accelerated codecs - already there in 11.10
 - migration to rpmsg driver (aka syslink3, see
http://lwn.net/Articles/448562/ and http://omappedia.org/wiki/Category:RPMsg
)
 - DRI2 extension for Video support (
http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=OTgxOQ)
 - migration to a new open source X11 driver for OMAP (
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video-omap/ )
 - a new GST video-sink: dri2videosink to display video through the SGX
(instead of v4l2sink). For more information, see
https://wiki.linaro.org/OfficeofCTO/MemoryManagement?action=AttachFil...
 - Linux 3.4 kernel, Ubuntu kernel will be replaced. This kernel is largely
based of Linaro kernel, and sources are available here:
http://dev.omapzoom.org/?p=integration/kernel-ubuntu.git.
Linux-image-<version> package version correspond to a tag ti-ubuntu-<kernel
version>  in this tree.

Hi Xavier!

I installed the new drivers etc yesterday - good to hear onboard audio
working again (although I've not yet had another go with arecord although I
suspect nothing has changed there as JACK still doesn't work with the
onboard sound) and whats most important is that I haven't had a single X
freeze or black-out since the update so its looking a lot more stable and
usable now.

As I told Rob on IRC last night, there still seem to be at least some
remaining text rendering issues as the text under the default fluxbox panel
doesn't show nor does the icon text under jaaa and I get occasional
artifacts in window title bar text like lines, squashed text or the window
decorations/ title bar sometimes just doesn't appear. I'll get this
reported on Launchpad today if it hasn't been logged already.

I have fixed the fluxbox text prob for the most part simply by changing the
style from the default so at least thats not such a big issue for me now.

I'm kicking myself for using the cursed 's' word now!

Yes, sadly I spoke too soon on the new xorg drivers. They are better now
but they're certainly not stable as I've had a few freezes this morning so
I've re-instated my beloved CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE. I'm using network manager
instead of wicd at the moment so now I don't think its wicd  that is
causing any probs although I can't rule out a potential wifi driver issue
somewhere - I mention this as I saw the wifi driver get a mention in the
syslog xorg crash I posted on here recently.

With this new release i solved the display issues.

I have another question:
I need to use this display (http://www.chalk-elec.com/) with PandaES and
Ubuntu..
I tryed to enable the dvi, I changed the boot.script:
omapfb.mode=dvi:1024x600MR-16@60
and after with:
omapdss.def_disp=dvi:1024x600MR-16@60

after this I run flash-kernel..

in theory, omapdrm will ignore the bootargs and just light up any and
all displays which it detects as connected at boot time.  So just
unplugging hdmi and plugging dvi should be all you need.  Assuming dvi
works properly at the moment in this kernel.

I did the update and after the reboot as my normal user I did:

/usr/bin/alsaucm -c PandaES set _verb HiFi

 but it errors out with (not exact as I can't cut and paste from
Pandaboard):

alsaucm: error failed to open sound card pandaES: No such file or directory.

Seems the directory and conf file are named PandaES and PandaES.conf
renaming them to pandaES and pandaES.conf at least lets the command
complete without errors.

I don't have speakers or headphones to test if sound works or not at this
moment, its a low priority
but I'll try to remember to bring in a pair next week.

If it works I may give the xbmc stuff a try down the road.

If you've ran the correct alsaucm command for your user and platform and
you're not getting any sound you may not have Pulseaudio configured
correctly as Ubuntu runs PA by default.

(Install and) run pavucontrol, go to the Configuration tab and check your
Panda devices profile is set to 'Analog Stereo Output'. You can also set PA
device profiles from the terminal with pactl if you want.

Hi,

I told aplay not to run pulseaudio:
aplay -v -D plughw:0,0 sample.wav

Also I tried what you said with pavucontrol and tested the sound file
with paplay - still no sound.

I'm running kernel 3.4.0-1485-omap4 on 4430 Panda.

Please note that this is a fresh install of Ubuntu 12.04.
Audio output had worked right before I updated to ti-ppa.
I have attached the alsa state file from alsactl.

Can someone else test and confirm or deny analog audio output on 4430
Panda?

greetings,
Erik

could you try the kernel at http://people.freedesktop.org/~robclark/try9/ ?

if that isn't working, adding drm.debug=7 and omapdss.debug=1 in
bootargs and send a log w/ those traces

Thanks

Hi Rob,

Thank you for the update. Display does no flick anymore, but I noticed few
issues:
- after any restart I have a black screen display with mouse cursor on it
but nothing happens. After a switch to terminal (ctrl+alt+f1) and then back
to X (ctrl+alt+f7) I have ubuntu desktop displayed
- totem freeze and loose frames a lot. When totem is playing Xorg use a lot
of cpu. As a remark, I did not encountered these issues with TI version of
kernel.

Thanks,
RomeoC

Hi rob,
I'm not sure if it's important, but during kernel headers install I noticed
the folowing info in terminal:
"Good news! Module version  for omapdrm_pvr.ko
exactly matches what is already found in kernel 3.4.0-1485-omap4.
DKMS will not replace this module.
You may override by specifying --force."

I tried to install this 3.4.0-1485-omap4 #7 on my Pandaboard. I got an
error during ubuntu-omap4-extras installing:

Re: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS works on Pandaboard & ES with Beadaframe

I did re-try 'sudo apt-get install ubuntu-omap4-extras' after this error,
but it tell me latest ubuntu-omap4-extras is already installed.

How can I do with that?
