denexo,

Regarding:
http://forum.doozan.com/read.php?2,16044,17821#msg-17821

Is there any news about this problem, i.e. patch in 3.17?

Hi,
I bought a Pogoplug model P24 from ebay and finally it works with the 3.16.0-oxnas-tld-4.

Great Work!

Now I have a little problem: after update/upgrade I installed cifs-utils because I want to use the Pogoplug as a mp3-player using mpd with relaxx player interface. The music resides on a existing NAS. But I cannot mount any cifs share.

I always get

mount error: cifs filesystem not supported by the system
mount error(19): No such device

So I found that the cifs is not a builtin, so I need a kernel module "cifs.ko"

But in your minimal rootfs "Debian-3.12.13-oxnas-tld-5-rootfs-bodhi.tar.bz2" there is no cifs module...

So I searched many availabe armel rootfs archives, trying their "cifs.ko", but always got

ERROR: could not insert 'cifs': Exec format error

So my question is do you have a "cifs.ko" which is working with this kernel?

You have to search through kernel packages and NOT rootfs packages, in order to find a matching cifs.ko.
It has to be part of a kernel package, because it has to match the kernel that you are using.
If bodhi compiled the kernel without cifs support, then you either have to build your own kernel, or just ask bodhi for a new kernel package with cifs support enabled.

begrenzungsfaktor,

As ingmar said, I did not include it in the kernel build for 3.16. So either you compile it or wait until 3.17 release, perhaps a week from now, time permitted.

Thank you for all the great work - at last after 2 years gathering dust I can finally use my pogo pro to play music!

I have it running as a DLNA audio renderer using mpd and umpmdcli.

I have a separate Plex server as the library and upnp control on Android. Currently I only have a cheap usb audio dongle but will upgrade to something better soon.

I had to compile upmpdcli from the source version 0.8.1 (0.8.5 doesn't work)

Also have connected it to my Debian server over NFS and using the normal mpc client.

Thank you again

@bodhi,

will try the new 3.17 kernel and will get back with results regarding the uvcvideo. Really hope the issue has been fixed!

EDIT 1: Just tested it with no luck again this time. It seems like the issue remains with kernel 3.17 (as already have read after googling a bit). Went back to my good old motion and v4l :D

EDIT 2: The issue seems to have been solved http://git.linuxtv.org/cgit.cgi/pinchartl/media.git/commit/?h=uvcvideo/fixes&id=a7f053c67c357c4b68c1be21976a1d464f97916b but hasn't been kernel upstreamed yet.

Did people try this and report that it works? I could incorporate the patch into the kernel and recompile to get the module (the modification is internal).

if it is not a trouble for you, could you please make a testing 3.17 kernel with the above mentioned uvcvideo patches? I could try its working status ;)

@bodhi,

you already have done very much! Take your time and when you compile the kernel i will test it ;)

denexo & others,

Here is the kernel 3.17.0-oxnas-tld-2, which incorporated the uvc_video patch.

Download at dropbox:
linux-3.17.0-oxnas-tld-2.bodhi.tar.bz2

@bodhi,

thanks once again for your effort!
I installed patched kernel but i get same result...i get no image on mjpg_streamer when using the input_uvcvideo.so . I really hope i am not doing something wrong. Could someone else please check also?

@denexo,

Let me create the delta patch and confirm that it was good. Among the 3 files in that patch, 2 already in my source tree, so I actualy patched only 1 file.

@bodhi,

maybe the patch isn't working. I am sure you patched everything correct in the first place!

@denexo,

I've double checked the patch! the patch was applied correctly. So we're out of luck until someone else test this change and confirm one way or the other.

@denexo,

if you just need a kernel which supports uvcvideo I could offer you the 2.6.31.14 kernel which I use. Mjpeg streamer is working well. If you want to use this kernel for Pogoplug Pro only I could upload it for you. If it shall be used for Wheezy two small configuration changes must be done which are not necessary for Squeeze.

-shv

@bodhi,

as i told you earlier, i was sure that you had applied the patch correctly the first time ;) We can only wait for the new vanilla kernel and test!

@shv,
thank you very much for your kind offer! Fact is that i have my webcam working using v4l and motion at the moment, so i am not in that a big need for a working uvcvideo.

Hi,
I have a B02 plug with the stock kernel and uboot. I followed the latest instructions given in the first post and installed the rootfs onto a USB drive. However, I am unable to boot from the drive. It always boots from the stock kernel. Is it necessary to do something else, like updating uboot for this to work?

@nibre,

Yes. stock u-boot does not boot USB drive. You'll need to either install new u-boot, or boot with tftp.

- For new u-boot see: http://forum.doozan.com/read.php?3,16017
- For tftp booting , see section Updated 29 Oct 2014, kernel installation section B in the first post.

I am using upmpdcli-0.8.6 and is works very well.
Can you recommend me a better audio dongle? I am using a dongle like this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/7-1-Channel-nicest-Virtual-USB-2-0-3D-PERFECT-Sound-Audio-Card-Adapter-HOT-WS-/151269226706?pt=US_Sound_Card_External&hash=item23385938d2.

Thanks for the response. I updated my uboot but now I am stuck at boot.

The boot gets stuck at this point. Any ideas?

It has been my experience that when watching the boot with netconsole, even a normal to completion boot, what you are seeing is all you are going to see. Watching it on a serial console will show you more, and if the boot is normal to completion you will see a login: prompt.

@nibre,

Usually you will see the message:

This behavior points to your u-boot envs problem, most likely bootargs. Please interrupt netconsole during the count down and get the listing of the envs and post here.

@nibre,

Your bootargs looks OK, and other u-boot envs are OK, too. So now it points to your rootfs and the uImage.

- Did you recreate the uImage file with embedded DTB? if you did, then restore the orginal uImage from the basic rootfs (it needs to be one without embedded DTB).
- If the above was already checked out, then it's better to recreate the basic rootfs from scratch using an Ext3 USB drive and boot with it.

@bodhi
Thanks a lot! I just ran these commands from the second post:

mkimage -A arm -O linux -T kernel -C none -a 0x60008000 -e 0x60008000 -n Linux-3.17.0-oxnas-tld-1 -d /boot/vmlinuz-3.17.0-oxnas-tld-1 /boot/uImage
mkimage -A arm -O linux -T ramdisk -C gzip -a 0x60000000 -e 0x60000000 -n initramfs-3.17.0-oxnas-tld-1  -d /boot/initrd.img-3.17.0-oxnas-tld-1 /boot/uInitrd

and it worked!
