Re: gc-linux on Wii: fixing display and SDHC issues

The SDHC problem is definitively between v3.15.10 and v3.16.1 :( that refactoring of the core-of functionality somehow breaks it.

It should be easy to fix though, if it's in the probing/detection logic.

Re: gc-linux -> wii-linux-ngx: first release

I am trying to add support for RGBA framebuffer mode, I have finished the driver work but getting a panic.

If someone can help, please comment here: https://github.com/neagix/wii-linux-ngx/issues/6

The defconfig has been updated too in case you want to make some troubleshooting.

Re: gc-linux on Wii: fixing display and SDHC issues

IMG_20170812_221303.jpg Slowly getting there. I can also verify now that 3.15.y works as well. Downloading the Linux kernel git now so I can start looking tomorrow at what stands in the way for 3.16.y. That seems a Wheezy? Any patches needed to get to that kernel version? I'll merge them to my fork...

Re: gc-linux on Wii: fixing display and SDHC issues

That's weird. I use Fat32 with BootMii and it's always worked fine on my end. Not a huge difference between ext3 and ext4, but I found it generally ran better on my system. Anyway, I figured out why your BootMii files weren't working for me and now I feel silly. You have it set to VIDEO=PROGRESSIVE...

Re: gc-linux on Wii: fixing display and SDHC issues

Why are you using fat16 and ext3 instead of fat32 and ext4 or maybe jfs? FAT16 is needed by Bootmii, ext3 vs ext4 is not a big deal, just change it in fstab. ext3 in general is more compatible. The way the network stuff is set up is a bit confusing. A typical user I assume would expect to be able t...

Re: gc-linux on Wii: fixing display and SDHC issues

I gave it a quick test and using just the image alone it appeared to hang using your BootMii files, but using my own, I got it to boot and have a display. Mmh..weird. I compiled armboot.bin from these sources: https://github.com/neagix/mini It works fine here..any idea what it could be? Though afte...

Re: gc-linux on Wii: fixing display and SDHC issues

As I do not have the GameCube it means I cannot test my fork on it, however I will not voluntarily break support for the GC. If someone (or more) could test it on GC, that'd be great! I am actually kinda looking for someone that will test it regularly there too. It would be nice if we can get it to...

Re: gc-linux on Wii: fixing display and SDHC issues

For us, basically it would allow for use of a software I/O TLB. Software Input Output Translation Lookaside Buffer allows for a much more configurable memory management interface. The physical address of the memory map (bounce buffer) is held in this virtual space of and I/O is bounced between the ...

Re: gc-linux on Wii: fixing display and SDHC issues

Back in April of 2010, Albert Herranz did some work in getting swiotlb working with Wii consoles. Back around 2013, I ended up playing around with this and forward porting it to 2.6.36 on a local branch and everything seemed to work at the time, but going back to it now I can't seem to get it worki...

Re: gc-linux on Wii: fixing display and SDHC issues

Also older version of programs who run on the old OS versions might have exploits or other bugs. On another note. Is this topic only about the wii linux? As I do not have the GameCube it means I cannot test my fork on it, however I will not voluntarily break support for the GC. If someone (or more)...

Re: gc-linux on Wii: fixing display and SDHC issues

The advantage to using a newer kernel is things like zRAM and ZCache RAM and cache compression become available for us to utilize along with several other bug fixes elsewhere. True not much has changed with the Gamecube and Wii stuff specifically, but a few useful things have been added along the w...

Re: gc-linux on Wii: fixing display and SDHC issues

kernel 2.6.32 is not bad and 3.x and 4.x might not give us THAT much since we're using butt-old hardware - nevertheless, love your work, keep going! :) also, switch to the gc from that wii-thing :D Whether you are interested on Linux for Wii as an user or a developer, you always need (modern) softw...

Re: gc-linux on Wii: fixing display and SDHC issues

I have updated the post with recent information. The console issue can be ignored for now, we have a v3.x and v4.x tree with console support! I am focusing on the SDHC issue. I have found that this commit is responsible for the SDHC breakage. Will report back if I manage to fix SDHC for the v3.x and...

Re: gc-linux on Wii: fixing display and SDHC issues

Thanks for your efforts on re-basing and testing the patches. It's been a few years since I looked at the code last, but if I remember correctly, why I stopped working on it was after an update in Debian Jessie while it was in Testing, there was no display. Basically things happened in outside life...

gc-linux on Wii: fixing display and SDHC issues

Hi there! Really glad I found gc-forever, as the gc-linux wiki seems quite dead. In the past few days I have been playing around with the code found at https://github.com/DeltaResero/GC-Wii-Linux-Kernels with the goal of re-basing DeltaResero's work on top of v3.x and v4.x upstream kernels. The resu...
