Guest CoWPlagued Posted September 29, 2011 Report Share Posted September 29, 2011 i am thinking in increasing the output resolution to fullHD... After all, the most useful use of HDMI is to display movies ;) -- And perhaps, Android could be convinced to output to that resolution.. Ideas, thoughts ? :) Eduardo From what I can remember the scaling corvus5 used to do to fill the screen looked dreadfull, with text being harder to read than on the tablet, almost as if it was scaling a lower Res than the tablet was actually using (unless it was the budget TV I'd tried it on?) My vote would be to up the Res and then look into getting it full screen as i'd just use it for movies, however I know there'll be a good few that would want to show YouTube or pictures too. cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest pizzaboy75 Posted September 29, 2011 Report Share Posted September 29, 2011 New Skype version with tegra2 support is in the market. Videochat now seems to work but is very unreliable. Sometimes you get just a black screen. I figured turning of rotation and zoom in dkype settings helped a bit. Maybe one of the devs can look into it?

Guest ejtagle Posted October 1, 2011 Report Share Posted October 1, 2011 (edited) Well, i thought i could give some advances on what i was trying.. I have attached the patches to the kernel required to tune a bit the performance of the device: -Now, when the backlight is turned off, we automatically switch the power governor to the conservative one. Once the backlight is turned on again, then, the previous selected governor is reapplied. The main idea here is to save power when the user is not looking at the screen... I took the idea of the Whistler Tegra kernel .... -Adjusted the video memory layout a bit... Now we have 96mbytes of video ram. From those, 2Mbytes are required for the LCD display framebuffer (previously, we were allocating 8Mbytes. That was an error... ;) -Increased the maximum resolution of the 2nd framebuffer (HDMI out) to full HD. In theory, Tegra2 should be able to drive it and output fullHD movies... Let's see how it works in practice :) (previously, Tegra2 was outputting 720p , not HD) ... Just note that i fixed again the amount of memory allocated for HDMI ,,, It was less than the amount required to support fullHD -Reduced the refresh rate of the LCD to the same speed as Froyo (.32 kernel) ... 60 hz. Makes a lot of sense ... There is no need to drive the display at higher refresh frecuencies ... Previously, we were driving it at 100hz, wasting power as the LCD used can't turn off/on pixels at such speed... If anyone notices something,... But, i really doubt it - And there is a very good point in decreasing refresh screen: This saves memory bandwidth, making it available to program execution/graphics rendering, increasing Android speed -398Mbytes of RAM are left for the android apps... -I also reenabled sharing of system RAM with the graphics core . Check the .config file ;) Well, no more to report.. I will probably test this a little bit more on the next days... Eduardo BTW... I have read that Bluetooth has stability problems when pairing to a A2DP audio headset... It would be really nice to have kernel logs just before the crash, to try to fix it... This pairing should work without trouble :)HDMI-FULLHD.rar Edited October 1, 2011 by ejtagle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the bluetooth issues when I have A2DP headphones connected and listening to an mp3 off the sdcard the headphones cut in and out whenever there is any wireless activity the only entry in dmesg is: bcsp_recv: Out-of-order packet arrived, got 1 expected 0 If you turn the wifi off the mp3 plays perfect without any skipping at all. So far the only thing I have found regarding co-existance of bluetooth and wifi is in bluecore6.psr // PSKEY_LC_COMBO_DOT11_CHANNEL_PIO_BASE (0x002a) // Enhanced 3-Wire (PTA) Mode &002a = 0011 // PSKEY_LC_COMBO_PRIORITY_PIO_MASK (BT_Priority/BT_ACTIVE) of coexistence (PIO[7]) &0029 = 0080 0000 // PSKEY_LC_COMBO_DISABLE_PIO_MASK (WLAN_Active/RX_CLEAR) of coexistence (PIO[9]) &0028 = 0200 0000 0000 I dont know if that has anything todo with the a2dp issue. Next bluetooth issue I can see is bluetooth input devices ie keyboard and mouse disconnect after about 10-20 seconds even if you are using them. However android still thinks the devices are connected, power cycling the BT adapter does nothing as when it comes backup nothing bluetooth will reconnect to the tablet the only way to get the BT working again is shutdown or restart. Also if you power cycle the BT adapter again without restarting it will hard freeze the tablet.When the input devices freeze we see these errors many times in dmesg: bcsp_pkt_cull: Peer acked invalid packet bcsp_handle_le_pkt: Found a LE sync pkt However this issue may not have anything to do with the new kernel as I was having this problem on the .32 kernel so we may not be able to fix this? also I dont know if these issues are related in anyway. I am pretty sure this issue is bluez losing connection with the the BT module. turning the wifi off when you have BT input devices connected does not help like it does with the a2dp issue. any ideas are welcome. Just for information as a testiment to this new kernel I have my tablet cpu oc'ed to 1.4ghz and the gpu oc'ed to 400mhz from 300mhz and all is very stable I have had to throw quite abit extra mv at the cpu and core tho :o this will fix the incorrect bogomips score on the second core after suspend. https://github.com/T...5ffa36fe69bca6e Edited October 1, 2011 by wooshy1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, if there is nothing related to UART, perhaps the problem is that there is simply not enough bandwidth available... Remember the WLAN/Bluettoth module shares the antenna, and both functions cannot use it at the same time, so, a sort of arbitration is used to switch it from one to the other.. Using WLAN at the same time as BT makes very hard to sustain BT A2DP transfers... It would be nice to test this same scenario with a different device ...

I have found a version of the atheros wireless driver which has a btfilter for coexistance scenarios which looks promising but I must sleep now https://github.com/tjstyle/AR6kSDK-CAF/blob/master/AR6kSDK.2.2.1.151/host/btfilter/athbtfilter.txt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ejtagle Posted October 6, 2011 Report Share Posted October 6, 2011 This is the problem. I have found a version of the atheros wireless driver which has a btfilter for coexistance scenarios which looks promising but I must sleep now https://github.com/t...athbtfilter.txt Well, this is what i got... Modified that driver so it compiles and loads (had to adjust fw paths), had to remove some modifications related to powerup/down that were added for the project that driver was used into, but is not required on Shuttle... Attached the source and the compiled versions of the driver and also the compiled version of the btfilter daemon. I had no time to try them, so, perhaps, they will not work, but, at least all compile without errors... So, if anyone wants to try them, perhaps they could fix the bluetooth problems, and probably improve Wlan at the same time...

Guest ejtagle Posted October 8, 2011 Report Share Posted October 8, 2011 Well, got some time to actually try the driver... It didnt work... After some investigation, seems that a compilation flag was missing. Just added it, recompiled it, and tried it in the vega. It seems to work flawlessly... No problems... Even seems to be more stable than the original driver. What i was unable to make work was the abtfilt program... This program is the one making sure that Bluetooth and wifi can work together without interferring each other. The program itself compiles properly, but when i try to run it in the tablet, it gives 'not found'. Obviously, i previously copied it to /system/bin', then did the chmod 0777 abtfilt. No errors. And the program is listed it i do ls /system/bin/abtfilt ... I suspect that something is missing in the compilation, but have failed to identify the cause... Ideas ? I have to point out somerhing: The new driver (already working) in combination with this abtfilter COULD POTENTIALLY make Bluetooth A2DP and Wifi work together without troubles. The more i read about it, the more i think it could work. What the abtfilt program does is to reassign bandwith on demand, so, it tunes the WLan driver to allow A2DP bluetooth to work ... If we manage to compile the abtfilt program in such a way that Android accepts to execute it. -- And just in case, the abtfilt is exclusively fr the AR6002 Atheros wifi driver. It won-t work with other devices... I someone has a clue on the cause of the problems with the abtfilt, or manages to compile a working version.. please, tell! Attached my latest versions, Nwe Wifi driver works (update the kernel module and the firmware), and also my compiled abtfilt, but android refuses to execute it...

Regards, Eduardo Great work Eduardo Haven't had chance to give it a try but we also need wmiconfig compiled and installed in /system/bin as it uses this to set the ar6002 commands think we maybe need cfg80211/nl80211 support in the kernel?? and finally we need to start abtfilter with a conf file similar to sample.conf but with some actions for a2dp/sco/acl etc check btfilter_core.h for action strings. Hope this helps!

But we don't need it. The Abtfilt daemon uses WMI calls, but does not need any external tool to send them ... So ... It is just a matter of properly compiling the abtfilter, and it will do its magic without extra assistance :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Butt i did other things ... >Added proper power management to the wifi driver. Now it is able to power up/down the adapter, so this should solve some issues regarding wifi connections that stop working after suspend... I also wrote a new libgps.
