Debian on Dell Wyse T10 / T50

Hi bodhi

I'm not getting any video here with either dovefb or armada.

Hi bodhi,

I've installed your latest kernel. It does show an armada module is loaded:

I've installed Xorg and run the Xorg -configure command the automatically generate a basic configuration. However this fails since it can't find a device to configure.

I've rebooted the device and used the wloader GUI to try out different kernel parameters such as video=armada and also other options based on the following link: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/kernel_mode_setting#Forcing_modes_and_EDID
Unfortunately I don't get any output on the screen.

When I look at the original Ubuntu dmesg log there are a few lines which refer to galcore. Googling galcore + gpu leads me to this page:

http://git.arm.linux.org.uk/cgit/xf86-video-armada.git/tree/README?h=unstable-devel

Do we need to compile this additional driver or is this already included in the armada module?

The Armada driver has been in mainline kernel for a few years. I think we are just missing some steps to activate the device (we should be seeing in dmesg but not yet). We should look for the bootlogs of similar boxes that has Armada 510 to see if we can find some hints.

Bob/Koen,

Please try booting without the old parameters in bootargs

Kernel command line: rootdelay=5 root=/dev/sdb1 ]usb0Mode=host usb1Mode=host video=dovefb:lcd0:1024x600-16@60-edid,lcd1:1024x768-16@60-edid clcd.lcd0_enable=1 clcd.lcd1_enable=1 pm_disable titan

new bootargs:

console=ttyS0,115200 root=LABEL=rootfs rootdelay=10 ${mtdparts} earlyprintk=serial'

Hi bodhi,

I've added the bootargs as described but removed the ' at the end since I assumed that was a typo. Could you let me know if that ' is needed on not.

The device boots and I'm getting the bootlog on the serial console. I've included it below. There is no output to the screen but maybe this new log will give some more info to troubleshoot with.

One thing I've found out is that with the new boot args the front USB ports are not very reliable to plug the rootfs in. The output from the modprobe and drm commands is as follows:

In the latest Debian dmesg there seem to be an issue with the power management. Could this be the reason why there is no graphics?

In the original dmesg I see this part:

Initializing ths8200_init
dovedcon has been initialized.
dovefb_display_init
dovefb_display driver init ok.

Googling ths8200 comes up with some sort of a video chip.

http://www.ti.com/product/THS8200

I haven't seen that chip when I inspected the board before but I'll take the device apart and have another look tomorrow.

The Armada driver has been in mainline kernel for a few years. I think we are just missing some steps to activate the device (we should be seeing in dmesg but not yet). We should look for the bootlogs of similar boxes that has Armada 510 to see if we can find some hints.

The most similar device I have found is the original cubox by solidrun.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CuBox

I haven't managed to find any boot logs for this device. The manufacturers website doesn't show any info on this device anymore.

https://wiki.solid-run.com/doku.php

But it does seem to be still supported in Arch linux:

https://archlinuxarm.org/platforms/armv7/marvell/cubox

Including some Arch uboot info of the cubox:

https://archlinuxarm.org/packages/armv7h/uboot-cubox

Cubox dts file can be found here:

https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/6f0d349d922ba44e4348a17a78ea51b7135965b1/arch/arm/boot/dts/dove-cubox.dts

Not sure how important this is but Debian reports a much lower CPU speed than in the original Ubuntu. Although this may be due to a change in the algorithm.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BogoMips

Ubuntu 10:

Calibrating delay loop... 992.87 BogoMIPS (lpj=4964352)

Debian:

[    0.018906] Calibrating delay loop (skipped), value calculated using timer frequency.. 333.33 BogoMIPS (lpj=1666666)

This has been changed long ago. BogoMIPS number is always wrong for SMP kernel (ie. mutilple CPUs mess up this algorithm).

I believe we are in uncharted territory here.

Arch Linux uses the same old dovefb for video. And the cubox people seem to have given up on graphics for this Marvell Dove SoC.

I could not find anybody using the new DRM from mainline Linux for Marvell Dove boxes.

My bad. Only armada module is available. Everything was combined into this armada.ko. So if armada module is running, then the kernel inerface is running.

I'm a bit confused about all the GPU related stuff. If I understand things correctly the armada module is the built in graphics driver which should be able to output simple graphics to the screen. For hardware accelerated graphics there are closed source galcore / vivante and vmeta drivers / modules.

The wandboard seems to use the same vivante gpu and there are some instructions over here:

https://wiki.debian.org/InstallingDebianOn/Wandboard

It uses an opensource etnaviv driver which is included in mesa. I may give this a try tomorrow.


It seems like there will be a significant change in the armada driver with kernel 4.19:

https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Armada-DRM-Linux-4.19-Atomic

Ok I've tried to follow the wandboard instructions to get the graphics working but seem to get stuck. I've installed a recent version of mesa and libdrm from debian backports. Then I clone the xf86-video-armada driver repository and follow the instructions in the readme on how to install it. However it stops during configure with DRM related errors.

Not sure what to try next.

@all
have you tried to just get framebuffer for the console working first?

this also looks promising for both units under test https://github.com/dv1/meta-cubox



Edited 2 time(s). Last edit at 09/10/2018 02:26PM by Gravelrash.

Hi Gravelrash,

could you give me some hints how to enable framebuffer? I've installed a lot of different Debian packages related to graphics / framebuffer but I'm not getting anything on the screen. I'm not getting any output in dmesg related to the framebuffer and there is no /dev/fb0.

At the moment I'm not sure if this is due to an incomplete dtb file, wrong kernel boot parameters, missing kernel modules or a combination of all three.

Koen

All,

I have not have time to open up my Wyse T10. I'm doing all testing on my HP T5335z, so I'd suggest we all do the same to make it easier..

I'm running blind at the moment as i cant get to my HPT5335z until October.

Thanks for the pointers. However I'll first hook up serial to my HP T5335Z and start with that as recommended by bodhi.

Hello,

what is the current state of the Wyse Tx0?
Is graphics working now?

I got a T50, in which the reset function is locked and the admin password I do not know. Is there a way to reset the device?

Not yet. Display is still unfinished.

Has there been any development on these?

I got hold of a Wyse Thin Client 3010 but it seems to be registered with the company which used it last. How can I reflash it to a stock image? I want to use it for RDP/VNC.

Is there a method with a flash drive or does it require some management server software and hence there is nothing I can do?

Thanks a lot

I dont think I saved the post that has instruction somewhere in this thread. I guess you can read backward until you find it. If I find in my notes, will post it.

Basically, we create the new rootfs on USB. And adjust some uboot envs to boot it. It is best that you have serial console connected.

Hello all,

you do not explain how you have accessed to the serial console ?

using debug port ? spi ? jtag ?

Hi vincent,

its been a while since I started the topic. I've not used my T50 much, the fun part was learning and investigating how to circumvent the restrictions posed by the stock system and get Debian working. I'll put a summary here from what I can remember but the best thing to do is read the whole topic from the start.

If you open the T50 you will see a set of labelled pin headers on the board which will allow you access to the serial console. Unfortunately you will only get output and will not be able to interrupt the boot process. To get Debian running you will need to be able to login to the original system with monitor and keyboard attached. As far as I can remember the default password is fireport.

The first thing to do is prepare a USB stick with bohdi's Debian rootfs, the T50 dtb needs to be appended to the uImage since we are using stock uboot. The next thing to do is login to the stock system and mount the recover partition. Copy the uImage and uInitrd from the USB drive to this recovery partition.

Once that is done you can reboot the device but you'll have to press a specific key combination to interrupt the normal boot process such that you get into a minimal gui that allows you to configure the system. Once you manage to boot into this miminal gui system you cat set recovery as the first boot option and you'll also be able to adjust the kernel boot parameters. I don't remember the details but you should be able to find them in this topic. That way the system is able to boot using the new kernel and ram disk from the recovery partition while the rest of the Debian system will be on the USB drive. Most of the hardware worked fine but audio and video are not working yet.

Koen

Koen,

The Audio might work if we can spend a little more time on it (it should be the same as the HP T5335z and T5325). The Video is harder. But after all high hopes for mainline DRM, I realized that path is too time consumng. I might as well try to bring back the frame buffer driver for this box and T5335z.

My T10 is still on the shelf, unopened!

ok perfect for me understood your work.
thks for your great job !
Will try on my t10 device. on my side as I was able to read the winbond chips and flash them direclty ;)

does anyone still work on this device? I have this terminal but it probably has a blocked bios and I can't do anything with it. it has no built-in memory except spi memory. is it possible to revive it somehow? I have a programmer for these memories, but I don't know what to write there.
