Nishanth' tech rambles

almost missing office hour due to jetlag is not a nice idea.. hence wrote this nonsense little script, which would stream a shoutcast stream while waiting to kick me up screaming.. Now, why should I suffer alone? :D.. #!/bin/bash #Choose your favourite stations from shoutcast.com (net radio) LINK="http://yp.shoutcast.com/sbin/tunein-station.pls?id=6063" if [ $# -eq 0 ]; then echo "usage $0 wakeup_duration" echo "wakeup_duration: wakeup after how long? 6 hours, 1 hour, 20 mins etc. or even 5am tomorrow.." exit 1 fi NOW_SEC=$(date +%s) WAKEUP_SEC=$(date +%s --date="$*") if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then echo "oopss.. i dont think date understands $*" exit 2 fi if [ $NOW_SEC -gt $WAKEUP_SEC ]; then SLEEP_SEC=$(( $NOW_SEC - $WAKEUP_SEC)) echo "Do you wish to wakeup $SLEEP_SEC seconds previously??.." echo "Sorry cant help you with that.. :(" exit 3 fi SLEEP_SEC=$(( $WAKEUP_SEC - $NOW_SEC)) echo "NOW=$NOW_SEC WAKE=$WAKEU...

The following check list was compiled based on a discussion here a) Did you check if the device id of the device is in TRM under supported devices? -> ROM Code should support this device if it should ever boot.. b) Did you read your CTRL_STATUS register and verify the SYSBOOT boot sequence in TRM -> is NAND in the sequence and nothing else preventing it from being hit? c) what is the status of your EMU0-1 JTAG pins are they both high or in tristate condition during OMAP boot? -> the wrong setting would prevent boot sequence from being executed d) is it on CS0? -> well OMAP boots out of CS0 e) Do you have an 8 bit or a 16 bit NAND? is your config file in x-loader, u-boot handling this correctly? -> accessing wrong width is not very helpful.. ;) f) Did you sign x-loader.bin.ift with signGP.c? Try this in x-loader directory: grep _start System.map|cut -d' ' -f1|xargs signGP x-load.bin -> x-loader loads up at the address we tell it to, few variants of x-loaders s...

Finally! After months of effort by many, mostly Dirk driving hard, we have omap3 support in: a) beagleboard b) overo c) evm d) pandora e) zoom1. This should ideally make omapzoom git based u-boo t redundant. Lets see if this happens in the upcoming days.. v2009.02 will have official support :).. Hip Hip Hooraah!!
