multirom crashes (framebuffer issue?)

[z3ntu]

When I try to compile multirom for the Fairphone 2, it crashes when trying to use the framebuffer (fb_update())

I already found out (with many INFO() statements) that multirom crashes in the fb_update() function in https://github.com/Tasssadar/multirom/blob/master/lib/framebuffer.c#L189 EDIT: the function fb_cpy_fb_with_rotation. (Line in source: https://github.com/Tasssadar/multirom/blob/master/lib/framebuffer.c#L280). 99% the memcpy function/statement crashes everything. EDIT2:: The last printed line (from my debug lines) is in https://github.com/Tasssadar/multirom/blob/master/lib/framebuffer.c#L289 (the memcpy(dst, src, fb.vi.xres_virtual * fb.vi.yres * PIXEL_SIZE); line)

Output of fb_dump_info():

Some important-looking lines from last_kmsg:

I have set the pixel format to RGBX_8888 (with MR_PIXEL_FORMAT := "RGBX_8888" in the BoardConfig.mk).

EDIT: last_kmsg tells me something about "Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address"

(and yes, the broken characters are in last_kmsg)

TWRP reports in /tmp/recovery.log about the framebuffer:

Starting the UI...fb0 reports (possibly inaccurate):
vi.bits_per_pixel = 32
vi.red.offset = 24 .length = 8
vi.green.offset = 16 .length = 8
vi.blue.offset = 8 .length = 8
setting GGL_PIXEL_FORMAT_RGBX_8888
framebuffer: 3 (1080 x 1920)

you have to port kexec hardboot to you custom kernel

[z3ntu]

@sndnvaps is this really the issue...?

[sndnvaps]

i think, i was the one problem of you multirom mgr.

[z3ntu]

@sndnvaps What did you mean as I didn't really understood your last message?

[z3ntu]

See #99 (comment) for a bit more information.

I will try the MR_QCOM_OVERLAY_CUSTOM_PIXEL_FORMAT patch next (maybe tomorrow)

[z3ntu]

New kmsg, it skips multirom now (doesn't display it): http://pastebin.com/Pu2yaMxL and boots to Android

[sndnvaps]

@z3ntu i get the same issue.. multirom menu cannt show on boot ..
just show the black screen .. after 30 sec,, bootam is show ..

[z3ntu]

I actually got it working now. /closed

[sndnvaps]

@z3ntu what you have done .. make it work for you device .?

[z3ntu]

z3ntu/android_device_fairphone_FP2@ebc16e5 that was the last thing I had to do.
