XO1.5 SD suspend
XO-1.5 WLAN SD suspend/resume testing has been completed, so this page is obsolete.
This describes the current setup for testing WLAN SD suspend/resume on prototypes of the XO-1.5 laptop. Software InstallationYou should start by obtaining the OS31 Linux image for the XO-1.5 from http://dev.laptop.org/~cjb/f11-1.5/os31/os31.zd.
fs-update u:\os31.zd Now upgrade the kernel to one supporting Marvell's SD patches. The following sequence of commands should work: wget http://dev.laptop.org/~dilinger/olpc-2.6.30/kernel-2.6.30_xo1.5-20091005.1546.1.olpc.61c1a98.i586.rpm wget http://dev.laptop.org/~dilinger/olpc-2.6.30/kernel-firmware-2.6.30_xo1.5-20091005.1546.1.olpc.61c1a98.i586.rpm rpm -ivh kernel-* reboot Hardware ModificationWLAN SDIO slotThe internal WLAN SD slot has a problem maintaining power during suspend. This modification is only necessary when testing the internal slot. The external SD card slot should function fine during suspend. In order to disconnect the SD_PWOFF signal, preventing it from powering off the WLAN card in suspend, you should remove Q38. This is in an SOT-323 package, located on the "bottom" side of the motherboard (the same side as the processor) right below the WLAN card connector. Serial PortYou will also need to connect a serial terminal to the laptop, as the laptop display doesn't work after resume (Trac ticket #9477)
Test ProcedureIf modified by removing Q38 and using the internal WLAN card, the laptop must be powered down to power cycle the WLAN (not rebooted). Boot the laptop. Due to a problem with OS31, it will halt in Open Firmware. Boot Linux by typing: boot int:\olpc.fth When Linux has booted, you can place the system into suspend by typing: echo mem > /sys/power/state It may take a few seconds to suspend if there are filesystem modifications that have to be flushed to non-volatile storage. In order to wake the laptop from suspend, press the power button. This should bring you back to a Linux prompt. Automating resumesTo have the laptop resume itself 50ms after it goes to sleep, boot Open Firmware version Q3A16 or later, then type: d# 50 autowack-delay autowack-on You can also place these two commands at the beginning of the olpc.fth file located in /bootpart/boot, to have them run automatically when booting Linux. Now boot OS42. To enable wakeups from the EC, type (as root): echo EC > /proc/acpi/wakeup You can now run a suspend/resume loop, such as: for i in `seq 1 10000`; do echo $i; sleep 1; echo mem > /sys/power/state; done; CaveatsIt is currently recommended (OS42) that you do the following first, to insure that networking isn't restarted: service NetworkManager stop ifconfig eth0 down rmmod libertas_sdio libertas lib80211 mv /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/libertas /root/ Using interactive OFWIt is possible to enter Open Firmware from Linux, to perform low-level hardware manipulations. If the kernel is patched appropriately (as is OS42), this is done with a System Request. Sometimes bound to a key, this may also be generated by typing (as root): echo y > /proc/sysrq-trigger You can return to Linux by typing: resume Automatic entry when suspendingThis requires a special kernel patch that is not included in the above software. This kernel will complete the Linux suspend operations (calling all drivers), the drop the system into OFW right before actually suspending the hardware. You should see the "ok" prompt, although it may take a few seconds if there are filesystem modifications that have to be flushed to non-volatile storage. All commands after this HAVE to be typed through the serial port. In order to actually finish suspending the system, type: resume In order to wake the laptop from suspend, press the power button. This will bring you back to an OFW prompt ("+rok"). In order to start Linux executing again, type "resume" one more time. This should bring you back to a Linux prompt. Exploring from Open FirmwareWhile we are mainly dropping into OFW on suspend and resume in order to allow for orderly testing (OFW by default ignores SCI wakeup events, which tend to wake Linux at random times), it is possible to explore the state of hardware registers or manually trigger a suspend (without returning to Linux). You can set up to examine registers in the SD controller using these commands: ok select /sd 0 3 set-address map-regs Now you can read the contents of the registers using the cw@ (config-word-read) command (which takes a register offset from the stack as an argument): ok 2c cw@ . You can modify the contents of a register using the cw! (config-word-write) command (which takes a register offset and a value from the stack as arguments). In order to manually trigger a suspend, type: ok select /wlan ok 2400 404 pw! MonitoringThe signals to the internal WLAN card may easily be probed at the WLAN connector (pdf):
The signals on odd pins are accessible from the "bottom" side of the motherboard (the side with the processor). The signals on even pins are only accessible from the top side of the motherboard. |
