TINY6410 startup with console

hello all! this is my second topic (the first was too long) , i have this
problem: can't visualize the terminal after the boot of my tiny6410.
this is what i did:

$ ptxdist clean root
$ ptxdist menuconfig

Device Drivers  --->
  Character devices  --->
    [*] Virtual terminal
    [*]   Enable character translations in console
    [*]   Support for console on virtual terminal...now the screen stay

Graphics support  --->
[*] Support for frame buffer devices  --->
<*> S3C2410 LCD framebuffer support       

    Console display driver support  ---> 
      <*> Framebuffer Console support
      [*] Map the console to the primary display device
      [*] Select compiled-in fonts 
      [*] VGA 8x8 font 

remove Qt4-demo 

$ ptxdist go
$ ptxdist images

then mount the SD card , format , untar root.tgz in it, plug the SD inside 
the TINY.

$ sudo minicom

and switch to on S1 to startup the board

this is what i see on my host:

WHERE IS TTY0 or TTY1??????

to see the terminal on the TINY LCD many people suggest me to:

ptxdist kernelconfig->boot options->and change the line:

console=ttySAC0,115200 root=/dev/ram init=/linuxrc initrd=0x51000000,6m
ramdisk_size=6144

to:

consol...stripped-down

to:

console=tty0 root=/dev/ram init=/linuxrc initrd=0x51000000,6m
ramdisk_size=6144

when i do it ,naturally, i obtain the error:

process '/sbin/getty -L 0 tty1 vt100' (pid 294) exited. Scheduling for
restart.
can't open /dev/tty1: No such file or directory


this is the all procedure that i did , in the same order that i did.

what is wrong???

sorry i used $ptxdist kernelconfig NOT $ ptxdist menuconfig

Maybe you need to change:

> console=tty0 root=/dev/ram init=/linuxrc initrd=0x51000000,6m
> ramdisk_size=6144

to

console=tty1 root=/dev/ram init=/linuxrc initrd=0x51000000,6m
ramdisk_size=6144

dosn't work...
if you look , when i digit

tty0 and tty1 etc. etc. not exist!!

Try making /dev/tty1

http://linux.about.com/library/cmd/blcmdl1_mknod.htm

i make:

$mknod /dev/tty1 c 2 0

and now:

root@mini6410:/dev ls
block               mtd0                rtc0
char                mtd0ro              shm

fb0                 mtdblock0           tty1
fd                  mtdblock1           ttySAC0
full                mtdblock2           ttySAC1

mmcblk0             pts
mmcblk0p1           random


but if restart the board tty1 disappear.
O.o

Put the command in the startup script.

/etc/profile.environment

sorry davef but , how linux understands that the new file tty1 is the
display?

why all people who use ptxdist have everything ok? I do not see tty0 tty1
etc.??

Because most of the people, including me, use PTXdist on the mini2440??

/etc/profile.environment is run everytime you boot the board.  If that
command:

$mknod /dev/tty1 c 2 0

is in it, then tty1 should appear in /dev

Why you need to do this, when I don't have to do it on a mini2440, I can
not answer.

Ah, sorry . . . you now get tty1 appearing in /dev and want to know how
does the hardware know that is (or should be the) the display.

Can't answer that either.

Have other people had this problem on the tiny6410?

i dont't know...
i want only a normal linux kernel working on my board...i don't understand
what is wrong , I repeated operations with ptxdist dozens of times, with
different combinations of kernelconfig, but I can not see the terminal on
the LCD, I can not see tty0 tty1 etc .... who can help me?

I have added one line for Qt in /etc/init.d/rcS file now after restarting
Terminal is not coming display is white(Tiny6410) .What to do nw..

Maybe, tell people what the line is.

Can we assume if you remove the line normal operation is restored?

The only thing I can offer is to look at udev, assuming that you are using
it to populate the /dev/ tree. If you are not seeing tty0, tty1, etc, you
might need to add them to /lib/udev/defaults/ (IIRC) ... udev makes the
devices that are in that folder as part of the /dev/ tree on startup. I had
to do this to get my SD card to show up on my Mini6410 (2.6.38); once I
added the entry in /lib/udev/defaults/, I was able to access it normally
from /dev/. Had to do this to access the NAND file system as well.

Hope this helps

Just to ammend my last post now that I got into the board ... the folder is
/lib/udev/devices/, not /lib/udev/defaults/. And I am seeing the same thing
as you are - tty1 - tty6 are non-existent on my from source build (stock
kernel 3.8.7 + patches). Going to try a few things and post back if I get
any good results.

Did you enable devtmpfs in your kernel config? And "Automount devtmpfs at
/dev, after the kernel mounted the rootfs"?
Both is required for recent kernels and recent udev.

@Juergen I have both of those enabled, but still had to manually create the
nodes. I am also seeing where agetty is "respawning too fast; disabling for
5 minutes". My inittab contains

1:2345:respawn:/sbin/agetty tty1 38400
2:2345:respawn:/sbin/agetty tty2 38400
3:2345:respawn:/sbin/agetty tty3 38400
4:2345:respawn:/sbin/agetty tty4 38400
5:2345:respawn:/sbin/agetty tty5 38400
6:2345:respawn:/sbin/agetty tty6 38400

I originally had the baud rate at 9600, but saw it set to 38400 on most of
my other machines, so I figured I would try that instead; same result.

Just as an aside, I am also not seeing the touchscreen in the /dev/ folder.
I do have a framebuffer device (fb0), but nothing related to the
touchscreen or the backlight devices, and both are compiled into the
kernel.

Just noticed that "Virtual Terminal" (CONFIG_VT) support under character
devices is presently unchecked. I had not really gone through the kernel
before building it, going with the stock settings from the PTXdist 3.8
kernel setup. I wonder if this is why I am not getting my tty's to come up.

tty* device nodes are virtual terminals. To get them you must enable them
in the kernel.

That was it. Enabling "Virtual Terminal" gave me tty0 - tty63 without
having to make the nodes first, so that should solve @Luigi's problem, too.
I also enabled pty support (saw that it was enabled in the FA config for
2.6.38) which gave me ptyp0 - ptypf and ttyp0 - ttypf as devices. I also am
no longer getting the "respawning too fast" error.

I still cannot get the touchscreen to come up and be a console; display is
all white, then fades to greyscale snow. There is still no /dev/touchscreen
nor /dev/touchscreen-1wire in my /dev/ folder.

What kernel do you use? Mainline from kernel.org? If yes, the Mini6410
support isn't feature complete. And '/dev/touchscreen' is very FA specific.
Regular kernels supporting a touchscreen via the "input subsystem"
("/dev/event/...")

3.8.7 from kernel.org, plus patches from ptxdist.

I have /dev/input/event{0,1,2}, but no input from the touchscreen. I also
have no display on the touchscreen; basically a screenful of snow.

There has to be something that I am overlooking, and for knowing as little
as I do about kernel development, this has been a real crash course for me.
I know the touchscreen is getting added to the kernel, but it is listed in
the kernel as "Tiny6410", not "Mini6410". My assumption is that this makes
no difference, but is that a flawed assumption? Should there be a
"mini6410-ts" instead of "tiny6410-ts"?

For what it's worth ... I have the following enabled in the kernel:

Device Drivers
  Input device support
    Mouse interface
      Provide legacy /dev/psaux device
      Horizontal screen resolution (800)
      Vertical screen resolution (480)
    Event interface
    Keyboards
      GPIO Buttons
    Touchscreens
      Samsung S3C2410/generic touchscreen input driver
      Tiny6410 1-wire Touchscreen
    Miscellaneous devices
      PWM beeper support
  Character devices
    Virtual terminal
      Enable character translations in console
      Support for console on virtual terminal
    Unix98 PTY support
    Legacy (BSD) PTY support
    Serial drivers
      Samsung SoC serial support
      Support for console on Samsung SoC serial port
  Graphics support
    Support for frame buffer devices
      Samsung S3C framebuffer support
    Backlight & LCD device support
      Lowlevel Backlight controls
        Generic PWM based Backlight Driver
        Backlight driver for Tiny6410 board LCD module
    Console display driver support
      Framebuffer Console support
        Map the console to the primary display device
        Select compiled-in fonts
          VGA 8x8 font
          VGA 8x16 font
          Mini 4x6 font

As I was going through all this, I noticed that the lowlevel LCD controls
are not selected, nor are any of the Samsung drivers beneath it ... going
to give that a try and see what happens.

Not sure if this was needed, but I did notice that the display went from
gray snow to all white when I added these ...

Device drivers
  Graphics support
    Backlight & LCD device support
      Lowlevel LCD controls
        Samsung LMS283GF05 LCD
        Samsung LTV350QV LCD Panel

I use the 7" A70 display ... not sure if either of the ones listed above
equate out to that. I noticed that there is an "extended" setup for the
Samsung S3C framebuffer support in the FA 2.6 kernel; this does not exist
in the stock 3.8 ... will have to see what module/support gets compiled in
as part of the 2.6 kernel by enabling those settings ...

What finally got the screen to display properly took some perusing of the
dmesg log .... the kernel needs to be told "mini6410=1" to get my display
to be chosen. Otherwise, it assumes "mini6410=0", which appears to be the
4.3" display (480x372, IIRC). Forcing it to 1 makes it select the 7"
display (800x480).

Hope this winds up helping someone out there who is having a similar issue
... I'm done 'til Monday :) Cheers and have a great weekend to all.

This is not from the current 3.8.8 kernel. It seems to be from the FA
pached kernel.

If you are using my kernel patches for the Mini6410 (or S3C6410 SoC) the
'mini6410' kernel parameter is relevant. If you had read my PDF for the
Min6410 BSP you already had known what the correct kernel parameter for
your display is...

BTW: maybe you will find the missing clock (or what else) to make the USB
work in the Mini/Tiny6410. :)

Happy hacking

Actually, I did read the PDF for the Mini6410 BSP, but amongst all the
documentation I've gone through the past couple of weeks, I am sure I
simply missed that little tidbit. :) I'm just glad I have a display at this
point.

I will be looking into the USB on Monday; I have a USB keyboard attached to
the board which has been working great with the Debian install I had on the
board, but it is not working at the moment with this build. With luck, it
will be simple enough to fix. Granted, the couple of problems fixed in this
thread were simple enough looking back ... Hindsight and knowing what the
problem actually was always makes things appear more simple than they were
when you were trying to fix it in the first place. :P
