usb_drv error -92 for RPi | Genode 18.05 with Fiasco.OC 79
by Alexander Weidinger 18 Apr '19

18 Apr '19

Hello everyone, when executing 'lwip' on the RPi 2, I get the following output for the usb_drv: > [init -> usb_drv] dev_info: DWC OTG Controller > [init -> usb_drv] dev_info: new USB bus registered, assigned bus number 1 > [init -> usb_drv] dev_info: irq 9, io mem 0x00000000 > [init -> usb_drv] dev_info: USB hub found > [init -> usb_drv] dev_info: 1 port detected > [init -> usb_drv] dev_info: new high-speed USB device number 2 using dwc_otg > [init -> usb_drv] dev_error: device descriptor read/all, error -92 > [init -> usb_drv] dev_info: new high-speed USB device number 3 using dwc_otg > [init -> usb_drv] dev_error: device descriptor read/all, error -92 > [init -> usb_drv] dev_info: new high-speed USB device number 4 using dwc_otg > [init -> usb_drv] dev_error: device descriptor read/8, error -92 > [init -> usb_drv] dev_error: device descriptor read/8, error -92 > [init -> usb_drv] dev_info: new high-speed USB device number 5 using dwc_otg > [init -> usb_drv] dev_error: device descriptor read/8, error -92 > [init -> usb_drv] dev_error: device descriptor read/8, error -92 > [init -> usb_drv] dev_error: unable to enumerate USB device Does anyone have an idea what I can do, to get the Ethernet adapter working? Any help is appreciated! I don't really understand the problem here, since the driver works flawlessly for the RPi 1 B+ (using foc_rpi as platform) - which uses the same chip as the RPi 2 (SMSC LAN9514). My Genode version [2] and Fiasco.OC version [3]. To the backstory: ----------------- I am currently in the process of "porting" Fiasco.OC/Genode to the Raspberry Pi 2 (Model B). As a basis I use Genode in the version 18.05 and Fiasco.OC in the version 79. I created a new device, the rpi2, and based it on the already available rpi model. The main changes I did for the rpi2 platform [1] are - the different arm architecture - from armv6 to armv7a in a few files - the different physical base address - from 0x2000:0000 to 0x3f00:0000 - a RAM size of 1008 MB starting at 0x0000:0000 (1024 MB - 16 MB for peripherals) I use version 79 of the Fiasco.OC kernel since it adds support for the three different BCM283X platforms. In order to get version 79 of the kernel running with Genode, I used the official 79 as a basis and cherry-picked commits from Genode's version of Fiasco.OC (72). [0] My setup works completely fine for the RPi 1 (Model B+), even for the usb/nic driver. As the RPi 1 (Model B+) makes use of the SMSC LAN9514, instead of the SMSC LAN9512 (used in RPi Model B) it should also work for the RPi 2 (Model B), since this SBC also uses the SMSC LAN9514.

Genodians.org Feature Requests
by John J. Karcher 09 Apr '19

09 Apr '19

Hello Genodians, The content on Genodians.org has been so interesting and varied that I worry we might lose valuable content in the sheer volume as time goes by. Here are a couple of ideas that I thought might help (probably already on the "to do" list, but just in case): 1. "Sticky" / "Featured" Posts - Things like the announcement for the latest release, other important news, etc. should probably be kept at/near the top or in a special area. 2. Search / Filter Tags - I think it would be helpful to add "tags" to the posts to make it easier to find items on a certain subject. I would recommend defining the format and adding the tag data as soon as possible, even if the feature isn't implemented for a while - it's always harder to go back over a lot of data than to enter it as the records are added. Just food for thought... Thanks! -- John J. Karcher devuser(a)alternateapproach.com

My personal wishlist
by Joel Desermeau 02 Apr '19

02 Apr '19

Stickynotes are cute and would be easy to implement, but here is my real Genode wishlist: Email client - I would be happy with anything IRC client - I love communicating with IRC chat, and the folks at #genode are very helpful :) RSS Reader - I have my most important news sent to me via RSS, and it seems most Genodians like RSS as well Native Firefox - this is but a dream Office Suite - I hear LibreOffice is being ported to Genode?? Cool stuff indeed VPN - Wireguard/OpenVPN GUI audio player With all of this, I would be able to switch to Genode without needing to virtualize anything. I would be as happy as a clam

If it is possible I would altogether remove the old article and > add any information that is missing to the new one. Yes, I'd better even merge the content of both articles, and create a redirect from one name to another. The existing article also contain some additional information, some of which is outdated. As people noted, the old russian wikipedia article existed before any other national articles, and it contains some original content, whereas other national articles are mostly translations of the english one. So, russian article misses some useful info that the official one contained, but it contains some extra info. > The old article seems to be updated, though, because it shows the > latest Genode release. Yes, there were some edits in this month. So, it is a bit updated, but some info, like about L4Linux port, which is discontinued, is a bit outdated. > Maybe we could get in touch with the author who did these latest changes > (in case it was not you). If this is not feasible, we could mark the > old article as outdated and link to the new one at the top. Yes, I also think so. I need to contact the original article authors and discuss it with them. (I know one of the authors, it is my friend Oxyd. But he had disappeared for some time, so I need to have the occassion to meet him again to discuss it). For now, I created the draft for my translation here: https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%A3%D1%87%D0%B0%D1%81%D1%82%D0%BD%D0%B8%D0… Most probably, we'll need to join the content of both articles into the "Genode" article, and create a redirect from the "Genode_OS_Framework" page (or vice versa). Greetings, Sebastian

What feature I would like most of all: stickynotes

Yes, that would be it exactly! It could be a heavily stripped down version of the qt5 editor that we have already. It would be very lightweight with a cute yellow background > Hi Joel, > > On 29.03.2019 01:44, Joel Desermeau via users wrote: >> > > A stickynote application for nitpicker would be beautiful > > would this be like a small text editor window which autoloads a specific > file when started? > > Christian

Hi Valery, It's really cool to read that you want to work at the russian Wikipedia article! Please let me add some personal thoughts about this: I would refrain from writing a new article or substantially changing the old one without first getting in touch with the original authors and having a corporate plan. Writing a new article single-handedly would either render the old one outdated, eventually causing its deletion, or mabe even the new article ends up in not being accepted by the Wikipedia folks because of the redundancy. During the period in time were both articles would be online, interested readers may get confused about which source to rely on and, IMO, it would also be a statement of inpoliteness against the original authors. After all, the russian article was the first one about Genode on Wikipedia. Is there an urge to create a complete new russion article? This question is ment serious because I cannot read cyrillic at all and therefore have no idea what the russian article currently says ^^ Please don't get me wrong here - I think it's great if the russian article gets enriched with information like the "critiques" chapter of the english version but I don't think that the english and the russian article must necessarily become the same (with the same name). Maybe I'm wrong with these thoughts. What do you think? Cheers, Martin

Translators for the Wikipedia article
by Martin Stein 28 Mar '19

28 Mar '19

Hello Genodians! I'm very interested in expanding the set of available languages for the Wikipedia article about Genode. Currently, the article is available in Russian [1], English [2], German [3], and Spanish [4]. The russian article is a version on its own while all the other articles are translations of the english version. Unfortunately, I don't speak as many languages as I wish to see in the above list but have had a fun time when working on the german and spanish articles. This is why I'd kindly invite everyone who'd like to contribute a little bit to the Genode project on a voluntary basis and whose native (or well-known second) language is still missing in the list. I'd like to propose the following if you're thinking about a contribution: * If you like, we could work together on it remotely. As long as it is at least a latin-alphabet language and you're planning to translate the english version, I feel capable to carry the transition of your plain text translation to a Wikipedia article with an infobox, images, references, and crosslinks. * Maybe you're also participating in the Hack'n'Hike gathering in May [5]? Then, we could meet there and collaborate. Let me know about it ;) * Of course, you can even do it all on your own. In this case, don't hesitate to mail me any questions that are coming up! I'm looking forward to hear from you! Cheers, Martin [1] https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genode_OS_Framework [2] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genode [3] https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genode [4] https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genode [5] https://github.com/genodelabs/genode/issues/2841

New french Wikipedia article about Genode
by Martin Stein 28 Mar '19

28 Mar '19

I'm happy to announce that, thanks to a collaboration with the community member 'ttcoder', Genode can now also be found on the french Wikipedia: https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genode If there are French speakers who would like to review it and mail me corrections (or apply them directly if they like to), this would be very appreciated! I also again encourage everyone whose native language (or well known second language) cannot be found yet amongst the Genode Wikipedia-articles: If you'd like to fix this, please let me know. Your translation skills would be of big help! Cheers, Martin

Community feature requests and bounties
by Emery Hemingway 27 Mar '19

27 Mar '19

Hello Genodians, Is there an interest in organizing a list of small projects and tasks that can be prioritized somehow? This would be applications to port or new langauges to support, projects that are orthoginal to the Genode base system and don't belong in that issue tracker. I would like this because I have a number of side projects and I have to take a guess at which of them would be useful to more than just me. For example, the 9P server was ready in december, but I forgot I was using it until the subject came up in IRC last week. If this is something we want, what is the right platform? Bountysource, Librepay, Reddit, a Git repo, a wiki? Do we really need bounties or is social credit enough? Hope to hear some thoughts, Emery
