do_page_fault(): sending SIGSEGV to fast-gpio for invalid read access from 00000600
-
@Lazar-Demin It was working fine in 0.1.6 b137, and not working since 0.1.6 b138 (up to 0.1.9-b157). Whatever was changed between 137 and 138, that would by bmy main suspect.
-
Anyone heard of any updates to this issue? Seems like the onion people only now and then comments and then its all quiet for a long time or forever.

Hi Lazar, I am sure you guys are busy with the shipping and interruptions you had etc. I still wonder how you handle software support during this period? There seems to several issues out there that should be pretty straight forward to solve and not take much of your time but stops many people in doing their work. Have you guys consider being somewhat more open about what prevents you from just fixing these issues ASAP? I see that there are several images being built continuously but not any updates to the issues?While I, hopefully, have your attention. Do you know the reason why Onion has elected to not build with POSIX Messaging Queues enabled (mqueue)? This is an essential part of messaging between threads and processes and is enabled in the Kernel by default by most Linux distros. It would only require to enable the flag CONFIG_POSIX_MQUEUE when building. This one flag is enabled by default but NOT enabled in Onion builds.
Enabling this feature would open up a lot of possible IPC features on your device.
Thanks,
Michael

Ok, b160 fixes the missing
/dev/memdevice so fast-gpio will now work correctly!.
Also, we're now building the firmware with POSIX Messaging Queues enabled!The issue was that our kernel config was setup to enable DEVMEM and DEV_KMEM, but for some reason the regular buildroot config had that disabled.
We're getting a better handle on the remaining shipments and the customer support backlog so we'll be spending more time actually making the Omega better in March. We hear what you guys are saying in terms of the community working the make the firmware better, so we will be open sourcing the firmware sometime in March as well
Thank you all for your continued patience and support for a young company

What, already?
Amazing, it's only been several months now!
-
@Lazar-Demin Thanks for that. Can you also add the command line devmem for us tinkerers please.
-
@Jo-Kritzinger , just update to b160 firmware! Then it should work ... or did I misunderstand you?
-
@Luciano-S. there is also a command called
devmemthat pokes a hole through the os and allows you to directly access the memory, great for accessing hardware registers. Read the article "WS281x, SK6812 driver for the Omega2?" posted by @luz. in there he uses the command to investigate pwm.

The
devmemtool merely provides an easy way to make use of that from the command line.

@Chris-Stratton Thanks for clearing that up Chris. Where is the
devmemtool?

@Chris-Stratton Thanks for clearing that up Chris. Where is the
devmemtool?It's usually provided as part of busybox, if it is present in the build I'd expect it to be in the path by default, it may well be in /sbin or another usual location for binaries. If it is provided by busybox then the
devmemfile entry will probably just be a simlink to the busybox executable andbusybox devemem .....may also work.
-
@Chris-Stratton I did a
find / -name devmemwhich resulted in zero hits. I don't know (yet - new to linux world) how to make a custom build and that's why I asked @Lazar-Demin to include it in the build. I'd be grateful if you could guide me how to add it myself.
-
@Jo-Kritzinger Basically, you need someone to provide you with the LEDE SDK or you need to compile LEDE yourself in order to be able to configure custom settings for busybox and to compile it with them. Or, you can hope for the Onion-devs to include devmem in their images and just grab the version I compiled at https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/11811685/omega2-stuff/devmem as a temporary solution.
-
@WereCatf So a wget into /tmp folder and a opkg install? I'll give it a go, thank you.
-
@Jo-Kritzinger It's not even an opkg-package, it's just a raw executable. Give it executable permissions with
chmod u+x devmemand run it with./devmem

chmod u+x devmemand run it with./devmemIs that actually a fully busybox common executable? It certainly seems to contain strings that would make sense in other tools like
ping, but still probably a quick pragmatic solution.
-
@Chris-Stratton Yes, it's just busybox. Jo wanted devmem and this was the easiest and quickest way.

Great to hear that!
Don't forget to have a look at the githup PR's

I sympathize with your situation, It's always difficult to choose between urgent and important when there's too much to do.
I just think keeping the enthusiasm in the community for doing things with the Omega2 going is important. So making sure those that are willing to invest a lot of time are not blocked standing before closed source doors for too long is also important.
-
@luz With you on this one.
