Quote from: birdman on February 02, 2012, 02:44:40 PM It's an AG10. So I'll look for a local supplier tomorrow. And then take another 4 days to install it. But many thanks - the hardware clock is now working again! PS: The battery size is also a 389 or SR54 (amongst many others, but the numbers seem to be the same - the packaging on mine says SR54, the battery itself says 389).

Thanks. I'll give that a go. Minor problem at first as: I couldn't get one the case apart (one of the screws was locked in place, but eventually I won). I have a Rev1.3 motherboard, which looks different and doesn't have the big silver button form the middle of the image. Then I realized that's not the battery.... It's an AG10. So I'll look for a local supplier tomorrow.

35	Hardware and U-Boot firmware / Hardware / Real Time Clock dead?	on: February 01, 2012, 02:59:54 PM
The power to my SheevaPlug was cut two days ago, and on rebooting the system started on 1 Jan 2000. ntpd fixes this once it gets going, but the system does now start after reboot with the wrong time, which didn't use to happen. Trying to run the `rtctest.c` program (in `src/Documentation/rtc.txt`) produces a timeout to `/dev/rtc0`. Is this recoverable? I can live with it - just need to make sure that things like boinc don't start until after ntp is up, rather than its default of "as soon as the file systems are there".

Do the syslog message show anything more useful?

Thanks. Running fine on a SheevaPlug with Debian squeeze.

Many thanks. OK for me on a SheevaPlug, running with a Buffalo Wireless-N Nfiniti dongle (rt2800usb).

Quote from: cbxbiker61 on October 24, 2011, 02:01:18 PM 3.1 is now available. Thanks - up and running on my SheevaPlug. Quote The mirror may not always be current. Still hasn't updated since 2.6.38 Quote The kernel source is here, for those of you who need to compile custom modules. Isn't that just the stock 3.1 kernel from kernel.org + the patches form your links? If so, a download from kernel.org + patches would be quicker, and save your download allowance. PS: How does one build a single module, assuming I've got the source in place and applied your config? "make <module_name>"?

Quote from: spinifex on October 20, 2011, 11:33:40 PM It would seem that with 3.0.7 on a sheevaplug that all led control is disabled .... Setting any values of brightness has no effect. Setting 0 for blue works for me, but 1 to 255 are all the same intensity. red and green have never done anything (well, until recently green controlled the blue LED, but that was just a labelling oddity).

Quote from: amrogers3 on October 13, 2011, 04:46:17 PM ... and I am not sure an application written for a x86 intel platform will work on this sheevaplug ARM architecture without modifying the application, is that correct? Only if you've written some hardware architecture-specific code into the application. Otherwise you will have to compile and link it for ARM, but not modify anything.

On a SheevaPlug the blue led is now controlled by the plug:blue:health trigger (instead of the green one doing it, as previosuly). The green and red triggers don't affect anything,.

More expensive than Plugs, but: http://trimslice.com/web/ http://www.fit-pc.com/web/

Quote from: cbxbiker61 on August 31, 2011, 03:51:34 PM The patch didn't apply cleanly to 3.0.4, ... Hardly surprising as the standard kernel code has "plug:green:health" set as MPP49_GPIO, not MPP48_GPIO and no sign of any blue one (in the code - it does have a blue LED and a green one, with no sign of a red one). Mind you - triggering the "plug:green:health" device does actually change the blue LED, and changing the "plug:red:health" trigger does nothing, so perhaps the code from this patch would actually correct things so that blue and green LEDs can both be changed. The patch against the 3.0.4 code would be: Quote --- linux-3.0.4/arch/arm/mach-kirkwood/sheevaplug-setup.c.orig 2011-08-29 21:56:30.000000000 +0100 +++ linux-3.0.4/arch/arm/mach-kirkwood/sheevaplug-setup.c 2011-09-01 01:35:03.000000000 +0100 @@ -66,6 +66,12 @@ { .name = "plug:green:health", .default_trigger = "default-on", + .gpio = 48, + .active_low = 1, + }, + { + .name = "plug:blue:health", + .default_trigger = "default-on", .gpio = 49, .active_low = 1, }, @@ -86,8 +92,9 @@ static unsigned int sheevaplug_mpp_config[] __initdata = { MPP29_GPIO, /* USB Power Enable / - MPP46_GPIO, / LED Red / - MPP49_GPIO, / LED / + MPP46_GPIO, / LED Red Misc / + MPP48_GPIO, / LED Green Health / + MPP49_GPIO, / LED Blue Health */ 0 };
