Updates and Problems on "Raspberry Pi USB and Ethernet Support" Project

Tue Jul 19 07:48:27 UTC 2016

Hello everyone,
As per the conversation at IRC I booted the testsuit with turning USB and
ethernet on. Also I ran FreeBSD on my Pi and got the bootup log as suggested by
Alan and Chris. Here are some observations.
1. After turning on USB in u-boot, I was getting power on USB devices atached.
(One of the device I have, has a LED idicator.) But as soon the testsuit
(init01) starts, the power to USB goes off. And didn't start afterwords.
2. I am adding relevant part of the FreeBSD boot log of my Pi. (Lines marked with “*” are the ones also coming in my testsuit.)

The Lines with “#” are related to the usb_ethernet controller driver. Detection
of the second “uhub” child (uhub1) seems the key thing here. After that smsc,
miibus and ukphy gets initialised. In my test suit I am not getting the “uhub1:”
part. Which have 5 ports with 4 removable, i.e. 1 Ethernet and 4 USB. I double checked the USB base adderess and the irq number.
In the line “uhub1: 5 ports with 4 removable, self powered”, does “self powered”
mean that it should be On by default for getting detected ? If that is true, How
can we switch On something in RTEMS ? Also what can switch off the USB, which
was already On by uboot ?
It looks like the “ugen” module finds that device and then gives control to
“uhub” (in the freebsd boot log). But ugen is disabled in RTEMS. Anything in
this direction ?

I would work backwards from one of the prints you are not seeing.

One way to work out the issue is to directly check the missing prints statements
in the module of code. If you add '--show-commands' to the waf configure command
line the commands used to build the code are printed. If you then change in to
the build directory, cut and paste the command to build the source you are
interested and add '-save-temps' you will get the pre-processed output. Check
the .i file and if there are no print statements you know a define controlling
it is missing. You will then need to track the headers to find it. Once found
add the option to the '--freebsd-options' list.

Note, if you create an error in the source, eg add 'x' anywhere, the build will
stop on the file of interest. This speeds up getting to the command line you are
interested in. Remove the error once you have the command.

I tend to try and boot FreeBSD if possible and check the messages and what is
detected match. I am doing this on the Beckhoff PC hardware at the moment.
