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

Once I'm able to, I'll push out the 3.14.y-EOL and 3.15.y-EOL branches. Just waiting for the repository to download first. And yes, I'm still using Wheezy for right now, but Jessie does work too just fine.

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.

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? The way the network stuff is set up is a bit confusing. A typical user I assume would expect to be able to configure the network either in /etc/network/interfaces or using wpasupplicant and configuring /etc/wpasuppicant/wpasupp...

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. Though after leaving it for about 5 minutes, I got a weird error on tty1 saying INIT: ID "TO" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minut...

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

It would benefit for DMA, but I'm not sure about the reserved memory area problem due to my limited understanding of it. The Wii has two discontiguous RAM memory areas called MEM1 (24MB of 1T-SRAM) and MEM2 (64MB of DDR2 RAM). From what I understand, struct dma_map_ops and swiotlb here would act as ...

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 p...

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 workin...

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 wa...

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 ...
