The goal of a A-phase board bring-up is get a small number of boards to an acceptable state of functionality. At this point, a larger number of boards are modified to match and distributed for both extended testing of basic functionality (esp. memory stability) and development of software to access futher functionality.

Goals

The goal of a A-phase board bring-up is get a small number of boards to an acceptable state of functionality. At this point, a larger number of boards are modified to match and distributed for both extended testing of basic functionality (esp. memory stability) and development of software to access futher functionality.

The following are the goals of this bringup:

  • Embedded Controller and power distribution working
  • Memory controller working and memory stable (memtest86)
  • OLPC display working
  • Keyboard/mouse working
  • USB working
  • SD memory cards working
  • Audio input and output

  • X

Personnel in Taiwan

  • Cheetah SPI programmer qty 1 (Richard)
  • Dediprog SPI programmer qty 1+ (Quanta)
  • Artec LPC dongle (FLASH + port 80) qty 3 (Mitch 1, Richard 2)

  • (May 14/15) Richard arrives several days before bringup, to work together with Bryan Ma on final EC code.
  • (May 19) wad and the boards arrive and bringup starts.
    • Get the EC running, including serial port
    • Basic power supply operation and sequencing
  • (May 20) Mitch arrives
    • Basic Open Firmware startup
      • Use LPC FLASH emulator for < 1 minute build + download cycle time
      • Early execution tracing with port 80
      • Serial port
      • Initial memory controller setup
Bringup
  • (May 21) Via becomes involved (VX855 support), Luke arrives
    • Memory controller fine tuning
      • Via expert evaluates signals and suggests setting changes
      • Mitch provides fast turnaround OFW builds with new settings
    • VGA Video output
    • Keyboard/Touchpad
    • Start memory stability tests
    • SD card
    • USB
  • At this point, OFW is generally functional for hardware debugging and bootloading
  • (May 22) Chris Ball arrives to start Linux work (arriving TPE 10pm May 21)
  • (May 25) Harald Welte (Via) start helping and the team splits into two: Hardware and Linux
  • (June 3) Anticipated date of OLPC team departure

Hardware

Bringup
  • Continues to work on either USB or SD if needed
  • DCON and OLPC display
  • RTC
  • Audio
  • Power management from OFW
  • Lid switch, E-Book mode switch, front panel buttons

Linux

After initial boot, this is mainly driver testing of hardware as functionality is confirmed with OFW.

  • Initial boot
  • USB
  • SD
  • Video
  • DCON and OLPC display

Documentation

Early documentation may be obtained from a secure FTP site on dev.laptop.org: 

sftp://dev.laptop.org/home/docs/1.5/

If you already have a login on dev, let wad know and he will get you access priviledges.

Much of the documentation is now available on the XO 1.5 A1 board page.

We will be staying at:

  • The Riviera - Mitch's suggestion (TripAdvisor ranked #4 of 192 hotels in Taipei - supposedly has free Internet) Orbitz shows availability late May - early June, $119.56/night, including free internet and breakfast.

Our recommended medical provider is:
