Crashing DD-WRT

Filed under: — Brint @ 12:01 pm

A note to myself for the next time I re-install Linux on my laptop. When I crash out DD-WRT due to the driver on the intel wireless card, do the following:

echo "options iwlagn 11n_disable=1" > /etc/modprobe.d/iwlagn.conf
modprobe -rf iwlagn
modprobe -v iwlagn

G Tablet – ClockworkMod Recovery 2.5.1.3 (2010.12.11)

Filed under: — Brint @ 9:38 pm

I have updated ClockworkMod Recovery for the G Tablet to support the internal SD card a bit better.

There is now an advanced option to partition the internal SD card. This can come in handy when the internal partitions get hosed (which seems to happen on occasion with this device). To keep it close to stock you can select a 2048MB Data Partition and the remaining ~13GB will go to the internal SD card. You also have an option to format the internal SD card space as well as mount it as /emmc. You can still format the external SD card using the existing advanced option.

This recovery still uses the external SD card as its primary mount for actions (install ROM, backup, restore, etc.). However, the recovery is configured to “fall back” to the internal SD card for these actions if (and only if) there is no external SD card available to be mounted.

As always, credit to Koush for creating ClockworkMod Recovery in the first place.

G Tablet – CyanogenMod 6.1 Beta4 & ClockworkMod Recovery

Filed under: — Brint @ 1:10 pm

Happy Thanksgiving (to those in the U.S.)!

This is the current BETA release of the CyanogenMod 6.1 port for the G Tablet. There are still several issues, but it is far enough along that I use it as my daily system. Please review issues and post new ones as needed at the Issues page linked below. Feel free to leave feedback in the forum, but I may not be able to follow up on it. The best option is to catch me in #tegratab on Freenode IRC.

ClockworkMod Recovery

XDA Forum Thread

gapps does work, but I probably should not release that here. Just make sure it is the MDPI variety and has an update-binary compatible with tegra.

*Note:
This version now matches the standards for SD card mounting on devices with both internal and external SD card space. This means that the external SD card slot now mounts to /mnt/sdcard (symlink /sdcard) and the internal space mounts to /mnt/emmc (symlink /emmc). The device properly recognizes the internal vs. external space and allows proper unmounting and handling of the external SD card. This also means that some apps (if they were coded poorly) will not recognize the internal SD space as available SD card space and will require you ti insert an external SD card. I will see if I can do something about the default apps (read: camera) that have this problem; other apps will need to be fixed by the developers.

Changelog:
CM6.1 Beta4:

  • Updated SD mappings for internal/external SD space to match standards (see note above)
  • Using latest available source from the CyanogenMod repo
  • Updated kernel to latest G Tablet version (still waiting on source so we can build our own)
  • Updated to the lasted drivers available for the G Tablet
  • Included updated libGLESv2 from nvidia (Angry Birds!)
  • Proper setup of CPU values – this allows the folio Flash APK to install properly
  • Matched fingerprint and device settings to latest G Tablet values

ClockworkMod Recovery 2.5.1.2 (2010.11.24):

  • Updated SD mappings to match standards (see note above)
  • Using latest available source from the CyanogenMod repo

Enjoy!

Kernel 0.8.3 Available in ROM Manager

Filed under: — Brint @ 5:55 pm

This is another very minor update that removes the 125MHz slot from all kernels except for stock and adjusts the other slots accordingly. Enjoy!

Change Log (0.8.3):

  • By popular demand: Removed 125MHz option from all clock settings except stock and added additional clock settings to compensate

Kernel 0.8.2 Available in ROM Manager

Filed under: — Brint @ 8:24 pm

This is a very minor update – if you are on 0.8.0 or 0.8.1, you most likely have no need to update unless you want the new voltage settings or use Test Mode:

Change Log (0.8.2):

  • Added a test fix for the “Test Mode Networking” issue
  • Previously unlabeled or LV labeled kernels are now considered “Standard Voltage”
  • Added new Low Voltage kernel options with settings from P3Droid

Kernel 0.8.1 Available in ROM Manager

Filed under: — Brint @ 6:00 pm

This is a very minor update – if you are on 0.8.0, you most likely have no need to update:

Change Log (0.8.1):

  • Added a possible fix for the “Test Mode Networking” issue
  • Added support for Increased Voltage kernels

Kernel 0.8 for CyanogenMod Sholes (Droid)

Filed under: — Brint @ 10:25 pm

I have created an updated Kernel for Koush’s release of CyanogenMod Sholes (Droid) v5.0.5.3/5.0.5.4. The stock version of this kernel will be the next default kernel for this ROM.

All versions of the Kernel are available in ROM Manager under CyanogenMod – bekit Kernels

Donations are not necessary; however if you would like to put any money toward my work, here are two donation options:

Features:

  • Built from the latest OMAP 2.6.29 source from Google
  • Includes latest relevant patches from Google’s OMAP 2.6.32 branch
  • Netfilter options enabled for wired & wireless tethering
  • Wired-tether support backported from AOSP 2.6.32
  • Overclock options available, but set to stock frequencies at boot
    • Includes voltage settings from AdamZ (Thanks!)
  • Optional 7 CPU Slot versions available
  • CPU Governors available: conservative, ondemand, powersave, userspace, performance
  • ext2/3/4 support in kernel
  • SWAP support enabled in kernel (must be activated in user mode – not recommended)
  • OMAP temperature sensor (SGX)
  • USB Performance patch (SGX)

Available Clock Options

  • 5 slot stock speeds – 125/250/500/550/600 – Stock voltage
  • 5 slot 800MHz max – 250/400/550/700/800 – Low Voltage
  • 5 slot 1GHz max – 250/400/550/800/1000 – Low Voltage
  • 5 slot 1.1GHz max – 250/400/550/800/1100 – Low Voltage
  • 5 slot 1.2GHz max – 250/550/800/1000/1200 – Low Voltage

  • 7 slot 1.3GHz max – 250/550/700/900/1100/1250/1300 – Low voltage

Change Log (from 0.7.0):

  • Streamlined kernel config to reduce kernel size and more closely match Cyanogen’s config
  • Added multiple kernel options to allow users to chose 5 and 7 CPU slots of various speeds
  • Merged latest patches from 2.6.29
  • Merge latest relevant patch from 2.9.32
  • Added conservative and powersave CPU governors
  • Integrated ext2, ext3 and ext4 filesystems into the kernel

Kernel 0.7 for ClockworkMod (CyanogenMod Sholes)

Filed under: — Brint @ 7:56 am

I have created an updated Kernel for Koush’s release of CyanogenMod Sholes (Droid) v1.0.2. If this tests well, it will most likely be integrated into the next release of Koush’s ROM.

Features:

  • Built from the latest stable 2.6.29 source from google
  • Netfilter options enabled for wireless tethering
  • Wired-tether support backported from AOSP 2.6.32
  • Overclock options available, but set to stock frequencies at boot
  • ext2/3/4 support via modules
  • OMAP temperature sensor (SGX)
  • USB Performance patch (SGX)

Change Log:

  • USB Performance patch (SGX)
  • OMAP Hardware temp sensor (SGX)
  • Updated compile method (now using Koush’s true build process)
  • Default boot speed set to 600MHz
  • Added TUN back to the default build (no module needed)
  • Added a non-overclock version that uses stock frequencies and voltage

This is currently running on my Droid, overclocked at 1GHz.

Note that this has NOT been tested with any other ROM and will most likely not work on them without modification.

Updated Kernel for CyanogenMod Sholes 1.0.1

Filed under: — Brint @ 1:30 am

I have created an updated Kernel for Koush’s release of CyanogenMod Sholes (Droid) v1.0.1. This will most likely be integrated into the next release of Koush’s ROM.

Features:

  • Built from the latest stable 2.6.29 source from google
  • Netfilter options enabled for wireless tethering
  • Overclock options available, but set to stock frequencies at boot
  • ext3/4 support via modules

Change Log:

  • Added ext3/ext4 support via modules
  • Pulled TUN out of the kernel and into a module
  • Removed some kernel debug options for some extra speed boost

This is currently running on my Droid, overclocked at 1GHz.

Note that this has NOT been tested with any other ROM and will most likely not work on them without modification. For a DroidMod 1.0 version, please see this post: New DroidMod 1.0 Boot-Loop Workaround (v0.3)
