Wandboard Dual Benchmarks, Serial Console Fun, and Distributions List

June 11th, 2013 cnxsoft 5 comments

Since last time I tried Android and Ubuntu on the Wandboard, a few things happened. I’m not talking about Wandboard Quad announcement, but instead I received a Class 10 SD card, which makes the system so much responsive, and a RS232 to USB adapter so that I can access the serial console. So today, I’ll publish some benchmark results on Wandboard Dual since none appear to be available, and play a little with the serial console. A few things also happened on the operating systems side with more distributions now available for the board.

Prerequisites

I ran benchmark in Android, so I installed the latest Android 4.1.2 image (11th of April 2012) to my new SD card (ADATA 16 GB Class 10), and contrary to my poor experience on a 4GB Class 4 micro SD, everything was very fluid. I’ve also installed Google Play in order to install the applications. To do so in any device, you need to download the latest version for your Android version from http://goo.im/gapps. In our case (Android 4.1.2), we need to download gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip, extract it and copy the files in the micro SD card in a Linux PC:

cd ~/
mkdir gapps-jb
cd gapps-jb 
unzip ~/Downloads/gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip 
sudo cp ~/gapps-jb/system/* /media/system/ -rf 
sync

In order to capture screenshots, I also had to root the device using the following steps from a Linux PC with Wandboard connected to the PC via its mini USB port:

wget http://downloads.androidsu.com/superuser/su-bin-3.1.1-arm-signed.zip
unzip su-bin-3.1.1-arm-signed.zip
adb push system/bin/su /mnt/sdcard/su
adb shell
mount -o remount,rw /system
busybox cp /mnt/sdcard/su /system/xbin/su
chmod 6755 /system/xbin/su
sync
reboot

At this point you should get a rooted image with a working Google Play on the Wandboard, the final step is to install superuser so that you can control which apps get root access.

Antutu and Quadrant Benchmarks on Wandboard Dual

The screen will rotate with both Antutu 3.3 and Quadrant benchmark, so they are performed in portrait mode. This is using full screen, so the results should still be valid for comparison. The board also overheated once during Antutu’s 3D Graphics benchmarks, and froze. A immediate reboot of the board showed the following message:

CPU: Freescale i.MX6 family TO1.1 at 792 MHz 
CPU is 80 C, too hot to boot, waiting... 
Temperature:   73 C, calibration data 0x59952b5f

I turned the board around so that i.MX6 SoC can get better ventilation, and the benchmark could complete.

With 6190 points, Wandboard Dual performance is between Amazon Kindle Fire (TI OMAP4430) and Samsung Galaxy Nexus (TI OMAP4460), which seems about right. This also compares to 8516 points in Hi-802 (Freescale i.MX 6 Quad), with the quad version getting double the score for integer, over 50% more for RAM and floating-point tests. Surprisingly 3D graphics results are better in Wandboard Dual (1771) compared to Hi-802 (1272) in Antutu. This is an anomaly that could either be due to a different Android version (4.0 vs 4.1) and/or better drivers, or the orientation during the test really affects the results.

Quadrant benchmark places the device just below LG Optimus 2X (Nvidia Tegra 2) and Galaxy Nexus, so no surprises here.

Setting-up the Serial Console on Wandboard

Many boards provide access to the serial console via +3.3V TTL signals, so you can just connect a TTL to USB board. The Wandboard uses RS232 signals, so you’ll need a different type of debug board, or simply a null-modem cable if your computer features a DB-9 serial connector. Mine does not, so I bought a cheap RS232 to USB converter. Build quality is poor, but it does the job. At first, I thought I could just connect it directly to the Wandboard, but it also needs a null-modem cable, Since I don’t have one myself, I used three breadboard wires instead connecting Tx, Rx, and GND following the diagram below:

Source: Microtik

I only connected pin 2,3 and 5, and ignored the other connection which are not needed for our purpose. The picture below shows the end result. I just connect the RS232 to USB converter to a USB hub to access it from Linux or Windows.

In Linux (Ubuntu 12.04), the converter is immediately recognized, and you can just access the serial port with minicom, after setting up 115200bps/8n1 connection to /dev/ttyUSB0. In Windows, you’ll need to install a driver either from the provided CDROM, or download CH341SER.zip.

For reference, here’s the boot log from Android 4.1.2:

Images, BSPs, and Source Code for Wandboard Solo/Dual/Quad

Software support, although not 100% perfect, appears to be now much better than before, both in terms of stability and features, and the number of available images.

As of writing, Wandboard provide 2 Android images on their download page:

Android 4.2.2 Preview – Android 4.2 will become the official image, but this currently very much work in progress with no Bluetooth, limited UVC camera support, and probably quite a few bugs. The image is available for both Wandboard Dual and Quad. Source is not available yet, but soon will be.
Android 4.1.2 – Current somewhat stable image for Wandboard Dual and Solo. Source is available for download as a tarball, and via their git repo.

Linux kernel source is available as a tarball or via Wandbaord’s git repository. Several Linux based distributions and BSP are now available:

Ubuntu 11.10 – For Wandboard Solo/Dual and Quad with GPU hardware acceleration, and VPU video decoding.
Freescale Yocto BSP – Wandboard Solo and Dual are officially part of Freescale i.MX6 Yocto BSP. You can build it yourself, or download some prebuilt image such as the one with xfce desktop environment
Buildroot – Buildroot for Wandboard Dual can be built. Most features seem included, but gstreamer appears to be missing.
Ubuntu 13.04 / Debian 7 – There are instructions to retrieve minimal rootfs for those 2 distributions on Wandboard Wiki, but those probably do not support GPU / VPU.
Community Squeeze OS – You may have never heard of that one, I hadn’t. CSOS, based on Fedora 18, is used by the “Community Squeeze Player project”, a network music player, similar to Logitech Squeezebox The image is only available for Wandboard Dual for now. Visit slimdevices forums for details.

Wandboard is also part of mainline U-Boot, so you can just get the source from DENX, build it for Wandboard, and put it on your board. There’s also some work to get Wandboard into Linux mainline, but I’m not really sure about the status.

Using ARM Development Studio 5 (DS-5) Streamline with MK802II mini PC

April 24th, 2013 cnxsoft 1 comment

MK802-II is an Android 4.0 mini PC powered by AllWinner A10 (ARM Cortex A8) with 1GB RAM and 4GB flash. Instructions are also available to run Ubuntu, or other Linux distributions. ARM Development Studio 5 (ARM DS-5) is software development tool suite for ARM processors that can be used for both Linux and Android debugging, and available in 2 versions: professional edition and community edition, the latter being free of charge. I’m writing about both today, because Bob Peng, Technical Marking Engineer for ARM China, recently wrote a blog post in Chinese [Update: An English version is now available] showing how to use MK802-II, preloaded with the required drivers and daemon, with DS-5 Streamline Performance Analyzer with is part of both versions. The community edition may be missing some features of Streamline however.

Streamline Performance Analyzer allows you to:

Find out which modules or functions to take up most of the CPU, in order for you to optimize the affected code to speed up code execution speed.
Monitor power, current and voltage in real-time, so that you can optimize the CPU tasks to achieve the best performance at the lowest power consumption.
Analyze and optimize ARM Mali GPU in real-time, monitor CPU & GPU cache usage, and system memory usage.

Before using DS-5 Streamline Performance Analyzer, you normally need to setup your hardware development environment, and manually compile DS-5 gator driver for Streamline daemon. If you’re just an application developer, it can be a pain because you don’t usually care about low level stuff like compiling the kernel and modules, and your application is (mostly) hardware independent. That’s why, the ARM team in China, as chosen MK802-II as as low cost (about $35) development platform, and pre-built all you need to get going with DS-5 Streamline.

The trick seems you need to buy Rikomagic MK802II mini PC from a specific Aliexpress shop, and ask them to install DS-5 gator driver during the purchase, and you’ll also find ARM DS5 Streamline starting guide and USB driver in /home/ARM-DS-5 directory according to the shop. Sorry, I could not find a link to download the binaries and USB driver (USBDriver_MK802ii.zip) if you already have such device… Let me know if it’s available somewhere. I assume they decided to proceed this way to avoid having to handle different firmware versions, and if you want to use an existing device you should be able to build this yourself.

The instructions to configure the TV Dongle and your computer (Windows, Linux or Mac), install ARM DS-5 (PE or CE) are explained in details in the post, but I’ll skip that, and write directly about the things you can do with Streamline and MK802-II.

Once all is configured properly, you can start ARM DS-5 to analyze your application:

Timeline view – CPU performance analysis
The part you want for the CPU usage analysis in the screenshot above is the linux Scheduler, branch, and clock section, but this view also include GPU vertex and fragment and Disk IO, and other GPU parts shown in the figure below.
Timeline View – Mali GPU Performance Analysis

Scrolling down the Timeline View, you’ll find more details about GPU usage such as geometry statistics and GPU vertex processor activity, but you’ll also get information about memory usage, interrupts and more.
Call Paths View
The call paths view is supposed to show how functions are called, but since they just used the Android Browser for testing it mainly shows the libraries which have been called and the CPU usage.
Functions view
Again, the example above is not optimal because they used a release binary, but it still shows you which libraries takes the most CPU usage.

How to Access the Serial Console in HI802 / GK802 mini PC

January 23rd, 2013 cnxsoft 15 comments

One of the advantage of HiAPad Hi802 (aka Zealz GK802) is that it provides access to UART and I2C pins via through holes on the board. UART4 Tx and Rx pins give you access to the serial console which is a must for bootloader (U-boot), and kernel development or for debugging.

The first thing is the open the casing and locate the debug pins on the board.

Hi802 Board Debug Header Pin Description

Hi802 Board Debug Pins Description

The very best way is probably to solder a pin header, but since I don’t have header, nor soldering iron, I’ve done it the “MacGyver” way with 3 wires connected to TxD, RxD and GND, and some sticky tape.

You can now insert the other side of the wires into your USB to TLL debug board (GND <-> GND, Tx <-> Rx, and Rx <-> Tx), and connect it to your Windows or Linux PC. The serial board should be recognized as a serial device. It usually shows as COM1 in Windows, and /dev/ttyUSB0 in Linux, but it may depends on your PC configuration. You can find the correct port in the Hardware Manager (Windows), or with dmesg (Linux).

Configure your preferred terminal emulator (e.g. Hyper Terminal, Putty, Minicom…) with 115200 bps, 8/N/1 and no hardware or software flow control, and power on Hi802 mini PC.

Hi802 Serial Console in Ubuntu 12.04

That’s it. Since the board gets a bit hot, the sticky tape tends to peel off, but until now this has not been an issue. I just avoid touching the board to power it on/off, and turn on/off the device via the power strip instead.

For reference here are the logs for GK802 Android boot:

Debugging Embedded Linux (Kernel) Power Management – ELCE 2012

January 17th, 2013 cnxsoft No comments

Tero Kristo, Linux kernel developer at Texas Instruments, explains how to debug power management in Embedded Linux at ELCE 2012.

Abstract:

The presentation will talk about debugging various problems a kernel developer can face when working with power management. These include hardware related issues (IC / HW layout bugs, bad documentation) and software related (kernel bugs, driver problems, adding new kernel features, bad userspace behavior.) Along with presenting some of these problems, I will discuss about ways to debug these… power management typically requires specific tools to be used. I will base the discussion on my first hand experience from working with Linux PM. Target audience is (kernel) software developers interested in power management.

Linux Power Management Architecture

The presentation is divided into 3 sections:

Debugging tools / methods for PM
- Disabling kernel features
- Stress testing
- Tracing (printk / low level UART)
- GPIO / LED trace
- Debugger
- Buffered traces / statistics with trace-cmd & kernelshark
Kernel power management features
- Suspend – echo mem > /sys/power/state
- Cpuidle – Debug info available at /sys/devices/system/cpu/*/cpuidle/*
- Regulators – Userspace API available at /sys/class/regulator
- Clock framework – Userspace interface: /sys/kernel/debug/clk/*
- Cpufreq – Debug info in /sys/devices/system/cpu/*/cpufreq/*, /sys/class/regulator/* and /sys/kernel/debug/clk/
- Devfreq
Typical power management problems / bugs
- Bootloader ~~madness~~ insanity
- Device crash
- Device malfunction
- Increased power consumption – Can be kernel, hardware or userspace issues

You can download the slides for this presentation, and you may also want to have a look at Powertop & Powerdebug for Linux power management debugging.

BoFs: Developer Tools and Methods: Tips & Tricks – ELCE 2012

January 16th, 2013 cnxsoft No comments

Tim Bird, senior staff software engineer at Sony Network Entertainment, hosts a BoF session about tools & methods for embedded Linux developers at ELCE 2012.

Abstract:

In this Birds-of-a-Feather-session, Tim will share some of his favorite tips for developing embedded Linux software. This will include tips for using ‘git’, how he does multi-platform development, and tips for other tools that other developers might find useful. Prior to the event, Tim will do a survey and solicit ideas from other developers as well. Please come to this BoF prepared to share your own productivity tips for embedded Linux development.

Tim talks is divided into the following key points:

Git tips – How to finds info about commits (git log, git show), use aliases (e.g. for colored output), find a commit that caused problem (git bisect), and more
Patch management – quilt patch managing tool, diffinfo, and splitpatch (to break patches apart)
Source searching – cgrep, mgrep, confgrep, kgrep, armcgrep, jgrep, git search, and finds (with a “s”)
Kernel debugging
- Use of fs/sync.c:SYSCALL_DEFINE0(sync)
- qemu for kernel debugging
- Enable CONFIG_DEBUG_LL and CONFIG_EARLY_PRINTK (on ARM) kernel options.
- Finding the printk buffer with U-boot
Testing – tbtorture.sh – for stress testing (cnxsoft -> can’t find it)
Board handling
- Consistent board setup (including remote access)
- Connections: serial, network, power (maybe USB)
- tftp boot kernel, with NFS rootfs
- Tiny Target Control (ttc) – command line tool for board control (cnxsoft -> can’t find it)
- Serial TTY tricks & tips
Personal productivity – Notes, to do, git branch…
Your ideas….

You can also download the slides for this BoF session.

USB Debugging and Profiling Techniques – ELCE 2012

January 15th, 2013 cnxsoft No comments

Kishon Vijay Abraham and Basak Partha, respectively software design engineer and tech lead at Texas Instruments, provide an overview of techniques that can be used to debug Linux USB drivers on the host PC or/and the device itself.

Abstract:

The widespread integration of USB into embedded applications presents many developers with the challenge of debugging problems, that are difficult to detect and isolate when a USB device misbehaves. This paper discusses about the various USB debugging techniques which includes debugging at the host PC, at the device and in the cable and discuss when each of the above techniques will be handy. This paper will also discuss about the various facilities provided within Linux kernel to aid in USB debugging e.g sysfs, trace points etc. and the various user space tools available to help USB debugging e.g USBMON. This paper also discusses about the profiling techniques at various levels in the usb stack. This paper will be of interest to the Software Developers and Testers who develop and debug USB drivers.

USB Generic Linux System Architecture

Their talk is divided into the following sections:

Introduction
USB Generic Linux System Architecture
USB Mass Storage Architecture
Challenges in debugging – Encoded data, timing issues, out-of spec signaling errors, potocol errors…
USB Debugging Techniques – Main section with details about sysfs/debugfs, usbmon, dynamic debug interface, tracepoint, protocol analyzer (e.g. Elisys/Lecroy/total Phase analyzer tools)
Gadget Zero – USB gadget drivers used only for testing
Other profiling tools – IOzone (Mass Storage profiling), FFSB (Flexible Filesystem Benchmark) and dd

You can download the slides for this presentation. Beside the kernel USB documentation, they recommend using Virtual USB Analyzer, a free and open source GUI tool capable of displaying usbmon data, as well as XML data from hardware analyzers such as the Ellisys USB Explorer 200.

OpenOCD: Hardware Debugging and More – ELCE 2012

January 15th, 2013 cnxsoft No comments

Peter Stuge, self-employed hardware, software and security consultant, talks about OpenOCD open source tool for JTAG debugging at ELCE 2012 in Barcelona.

Abstract:

The presentation walks through how to use the OpenOCD open source software to debug embedded systems on the hardware level via JTAG interface, allowing single stepping, setting breakpoints, inspecting register and memory contents and more, starting before the CPU even executes the first instruction. After an introduction to JTAG debugging we look at how to use OpenOCD both standalone for firmware flashing as well as together with the GDB GNU Debugger for convenient debugging of bootloaders or the Linux kernel. These tasks will be demonstrated, and the respective OpenOCD configuration details will be explained.The presentation targets intermediate-level developers who work on bootloaders, BSPs and kernel drivers, deeply embedded systems, and test and production engineers with an interest in using OpenOCD, which can allow unified tooling across all of development, testing and production.

The presentation slides are not available, but you may want to have a look at the presentation slides for “Using OpenOCD JTAG in Android Kernel Debugging” by Mike Anderson, the PTR group. The video in the previous link at very bad audio however.
