Repository https://github.com/koliqi/imx23-olinuxino is updated with new branch 3.12-rc2.
Instructions for how to clone branch and build kernel are at http://g-lab.ca/building-a-kernel-3-12-rc2-for-the-imx23-olinuxino/
This build brings patches to support i2c for imx23-olinuxino board's and also audio driver for i.MX23 SoC. You can use those patches also to build kernel 3.12-rc2 to boot with u-boot loader. In this case, instructions to build kernel are at http://g-lab.ca/u-boot-bootloader-for-imx23-olinuxino-board/

there is weird problem with the USB in Kernel 3.x
imx233-OLinuXino-MINI-WIFI with Kernel 3.xx when USB devices is plug on SOME boards the USB gives error -71 and stops working
same boards which do not work with 3.X kernel work fine when boot with Kernel 2.6.x
any idea what may be wrong?
Since that occurs only on imx233-OLinuXino-MINI-WIFI, I am willing to blame RTL81xx driver. We did lot of tests with imx233-OLinuXino-MINI-WIFI and kernel 3.7.1. and everything was OK. After 3.7.1, wifi driver has been changed.
Please check any "nonworking" board with kernel 3.7.1 and compare result with 3.11.x / 3.12.x.
You can find 3.7.1 image at https://www.dropbox.com/s/rfnmzdbcu21pfgf/sd_mmc_bootstream.raw.

here are the messages when USB device is plugged and dmesg http://pastie.org/8357431
hello,
I try 3.12.RC1 on imx nano, without you re patch, run fine
Now i go recompil with you re patch and see
Thank s for you re great job !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Best regards
OK, work on imx233 nano, i use u-boot.
But why i have 49 m of free ram, i haven't a 64 m system ? is for all kernel.... where is my RAM ?

Hello, Fadil,
Did you try to use rtl8188cu patch with 3.12?
I have also the feeling that USB is broken in 3.12-rc2 but works in 3.12-rc1. At least none of my USB WiFi adapters works in 3.12-rc2 but they are working in 3.12-rc1.

Why not use the driver that comes with 3.12:

Why not use the driver that comes with 3.12:
This one doesn't work well with rtl8188CUS chip, at least in kernel 3.11.

Evgeny,
I did patch for rtl8188cu for build 3.7.1 and worked well. That patch was directly from RTL web site and I did only work needed to be incorporated on new kernel. Later I read somewhere that build in driver work well and I didn't push further that variant.

I have also the feeling that USB is broken in 3.12-rc2 but works in 3.12-rc1.
Christian,
I see at https://www.kernel.org/diff/diffview.cgi?file=/pub/linux/kernel/v3.x/testing/patch-3.12-rc2.xz some minor changes on mxs USB driver ( /drivers/usb/phy/phy-mxs-usb.c) but I don't consider those changes to be source of problem.
About i2c. My patch adding i2c support on imx23-olinuxino board and doesn't affect work of i2c driver. There are 3 new patches from Marek Vasut for i2c (distinguish imx23/28 and PIO rework). I didn't incorporate them here because they are still on i2c mail list waiting for some rework. As soon they get on linux-next, I will incorporate them on build for 3.12-rc2.
About rtl8188cu. My feeling is build in driver is source of problem. Because of that suggested to Olimex to "check any "nonworking" board with kernel 3.7.1 and compare result with 3.11.x / 3.12.x."
If that work on 3.7.1, I am willing to bring again driver from RTL's website on new build 3.12-rc2

Hi Fadil, do you mean http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-i2c/msg12844.html:
[PATCH RESEND 1/3] i2c: mxs: distinguish i.MX23 and i.MX28 based I2C controller
[PATCH V2 2/3] i2c: mxs: Rework the PIO mode operation
[PATCH RESEND 3/3] i2c: mxs: Fix PIO mode on i.MX23
I was hoping that i2c would finally work out of the box. I can see that MXS_I2C_V1, MXS_I2C_V2 gets added there to distinguish between i.MX23 and i.MX28. This looks similar to a older patch from Nii https://www.olimex.com/forum/index.php?topic=283.msg2872#msg2872. Hopefully this solves all the i2c problems. I will try to add it line by line.
And sorry I've compiled 3.12-rc2 again and USB is working, can't reproduce my problem, I must have done a stupid mistake somewhere.
Hi Christian,
Yes, I had in mind those patches. Nii did great job at that time but looks hi didn't push on i2c list. Please come back with results if you get together those patches.
Regards
Fadil Berisha

Sorry for misinform you. I've just checked the rtlwifi driver, it actually works with 3.12-rc2.
It works only with antenna though, that's why I initially thought it doesn't.
rtl8188cu driver allow me to connect to the network even without antenna.
I've seen somewhere on the internet the statement that rtl8188cu performs better than rtlwifi in terms of signal power or so. I'm not sure whether it's true or not since working without antenna at all is somewhat unusual scenario.
Thanks for this work.

Okay, actually I now just got it to boot successfully by checking over the config and enabling Control Group support.
I'm extremely grateful once again, because I now seem to have an audio driver that behaves far better than in the kernel I tried that's discussed here: https://www.olimex.com/forum/index.php?topic=704.0 (https://www.olimex.com/forum/index.php?topic=704.0).
OK, now I've found the time to try these i2c patches:

Hi! Can I ask you to upload the raw kernel 3.x with audio driver? to somehow (wetransfer o gdrive).
Good to compile, but also good to dd a raw file :)
Thank you!
Please note that https://github.com/koliqi/imx23-olinuxino contains an old audio driver containing rather serious DMA interrupts bug.
There is a newer driver at https://github.com/ITserve/imx23-audio. Btw. there are certainly still some bugs (e.g. it may not work properly when not compiled as module).

Thank you for pointing out problem with audio driver. I will fix that in https://github.com/koliqi/imx23-olinuxino.
If you are author of driver, would be nice if you find time to submit patches to mainline kernel. There is much wider audience and more people will help to fix problems on audio driver. Anyway, I will write this suggestion also to author on his email address supplied on patch.
Thanks again,
Fadil Berisha
And what about SPI is it working "out of box" with 3.12 ,or also need a Patch ?

SPI is working out of box. My patch for SPI is incorporated on mainline and you need only to add node for your device.
How to add node? Please check samples at my web page http://g-lab.ca/spi-serial-periferial-interface/ and http://g-lab.ca/spi-gpio-expander-with-mcp23s08/

About rtl8188cu. My feeling is build in driver is source of problem. Because of that suggested to Olimex to "check any "nonworking" board with kernel 3.7.1 and compare result with 3.11.x / 3.12.x."
If that work on 3.7.1, I am willing to bring again driver from RTL's website on new build 3.12-rc2
Fadil Berisha
I tried that already, and couldn't make it work. The rtlwifi is considerably restructured in 3.10 onwards, and I'm no kernel hacker. The furthest I got was a bunch of unresolved wireless_send_event symbols during linking, despite the fact that this function was being called from other modules apparently without issues. The patched module (https://github.com/dz0ny/rt8192cu) I was using is based on Realtec's v4.0.2_9000, and advertised to work with 3.10 onwards, but not in my hands - at least not as a non-DKMS build. It worked great in 3.7 once debugging and power-saving were turned off. Without turning that off, the log was being spammed > 20 lines/second causing the whole system to be in a constant wait state, and the console unusable.
There is an open kernel bug (https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=60713) for the rtl8192cu driver, and more recently, a patch (https://bugzilla.kernel.org/attachment.cgi?id=113191) against 3.11, which works with 3.10. My WiFi is an EdiMax EW-7811Un 802.11n Wireless Adapter [Realtek RTL8188CUS].
I'm targeting 3.10 because its supposed to have long-term support, and this is what archlinux is currently using (though not on their official olinuxino image).
To try to make life easier for people, I rolled Christian's and your I2C/SPI patches (for 3.12rc3 (http://sourceforge.net/projects/janncc/files/olinuxino/kernel/3.12-rc3/)) together with the rtl8192cu patch from the kernel wireless team, and applied them all to 3.10.19. The patches took only some minor fiddling, so they are largely what was provided by others.
I put everything up on my under-utilized GoogleDrive (https://googledrive.com/host/0B-x3kTkP-RShc2I5ZHJITWhNMEk/), including a bootstream image (https://googledrive.com/host/0B-x3kTkP-RShc2I5ZHJITWhNMEk/kernel-images/linux-3.10.19-sd_mmc_bootstream.raw), full mmc rootfs image (https://googledrive.com/host/0B-x3kTkP-RShc2I5ZHJITWhNMEk/ArchLinuxARM-2013-11-16-olinuxino-k3.10.19-mmc.img.gz) (updated to 2013-11-16), and various kernel building inputs (https://googledrive.com/host/0B-x3kTkP-RShc2I5ZHJITWhNMEk/kernel-build) and products (https://googledrive.com/host/0B-x3kTkP-RShc2I5ZHJITWhNMEk/kernel-images).
I've subscribed to the kernel bug, and will try to keep these updated with latest developments. Also the I2C/SPI patches.
Thanks for all of your and Christian's excellent work, BTW.
N.B.: I don't actually have any I2C or SPI hardware to test. It would be nice if someone tried it out and reported back.
