Big update available

[nathan]

Hi!

I wanted to let you all know, that a new big update is available!

• OpenWrt version update to 12.09 Beta (date: 14 Sept. 2012). When the final 12.09 is available, I'll upgrade to this version.
• Added kernel patches up until (24 Sept. 2012).
• Updated Rpi firmware to 25 sept. 2012 version.
• Image generator now also generates a 240 MByte RAM free image.
  

Because of the OpenWrt upgrade, the current Linux kernel version is also upgraded to version 3.3.8. Some RPi patches needed to be refactored to get successfully applied on top of the Linux 3.3.8 kernel sources. That's why this update took so long.

Get the sources from the git repository or check this openwrt-brcm2708-sdcard-vfat-ext4_240.img.7z pre-built image.

Grtz,
Nathan.

Hi Nathan,

any updates?

I got some sd card errors again with the latest build you released there.

( The same as usual, still writing errors and stuff... )

Thanks,

Nico

Hi Nico,

Sorry for the late response...

The latest changes are:
- 9e69a17 Updated eglibc version 2.15 svn:18909 to svn:20886 Added patch
for glibc bug #e3781dd
- Added kernel patches up until (9 Oct. 2012):
f9506a194ad6a4afef06cb423286367ab787dee6 Updated Rpi firmware to 6 Oct.
13579.
- 6f210f6 Reverted back to stable firmware and kernel drivers.
- 57a3676 Updated to latest firmware version of 30-10-2012
(537c78b113d06e37e2cca90a0b3d3f39a129ee23) Updated config-rpi
- 2af452c Added: automount (readonly) of the /dev/mmcblk0p2 (vfat)
partition at /boot. Fix: execute resize after logging in (serial
console) to fix the terminal size.
- ba95a3f Fixed issue 4: reboot
(http://code.google.com/p/raspberrypi-openwrt/issues/detail?id=4).

This configuration is stable (= release 0.1) and gives me no sdcard
errors. It allows me to run mpd and play mp3's from a mounted nfs share
via alsa. And works great! Including a great WAF ;-) She can use her
android phone to select the mp3's to play and the Rpi takes care of the
rest B-)

Grtz,
Nathan.

Hi Nathan,

thanks for the answer.

I deleted my folder and tried to compile everything from scratch again, but sadly it does not work out:

Seems like it can't fetch the gpu fw?

The folder tmp/dl is empty... :(

Any ideas on that?

Hi Nico,

could you verify that you can checkout the git repository from github.

Just make a testfolder somewhere and execute the git clone command:

       git clone git://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware.git brcm2708-gpu-fw-20121030 --recursive

If it works then your problem is not internet related and obviously something else...

Jeffrey.

Thanks Jeffrey,

I tried it and it worked out flawlessly.

I removed the complete git directory from my pc and try it again from scratch.

Will post results later, as soon as I get something.

Greetings,

Nico

Ok, Update:

I got the same problem again, but could get around it:

I went to the tmp/dl folder, git checked out the files needed and grabbed from the error output the rest of the commando and executed it.

After that, I tried a new make world and it worked out nicely.

The only problem so far: I haven't found the option to change the CPU/GPU Mem Amount in the make menuconfig...

Any hints to where that option is?

After building it with 240 MB Option I want to upload the file here, so that everyone could grab it :)!

Ok, I got my answer myself. Just need to add the option gpu_mem=16 to the config.txt - and thats it :)!

( http://raspberrypi.stackexchange.com/questions/673/what-is-the-optimum-split-of-main-versus-gpu-memory )

As for the "today" file: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/19431162/openwrt-brcm2708-sdcard-vfat-ext4.img

you can grab it there :)!

Thanks for everything :)!

Hi Nico,

I can reproduce the problem and have created an issue for this.
In the meantime I'm working on a fix..

Have a merry Christmas!

Grtz,
Nathan.
