Psicool, that short i had on my n900 USB VCC to USB D- was the connector itself08:13
Psijust unsoldered it and the short is gone08:13
Psiso now the question is, has this short damaged the USB driver or not08:13
Psihopefully D- is 5v tolerant i/o08:16
ecc3gi've seen some USB power outlets that have D+ shorted to D- which is in turn shorted to +5 ...08:20
Psicool that would point to them being 5v tolerant08:22
ecc3gor that power outlet manufacturer wants to blow up devices :D08:22
Psiwe will see soon enough08:26

PsiHumpelstilzchen: it just stopped detecting USB cable for charging or data11:42
*** sq-one has joined #maemo11:43
Psiso i installed another kernel (incase the power kernel i had installed a few weeks back was causing usb issues)  except i must have installed the wrong one because it wouldnt boot at all after that11:43
Psiso now it wont boot and pc cant detect USB to reflash it11:44
Psii removed usb socket (it had a short between D- and VCC) and soldered directly to the test pads instead. But PC still cant recognise the usb device11:45
Psii think the short to VCC damaged the usb chip11:45
bencohand ... you dont have uboot on it ?11:45
Psinope, no boot menu11:45
Psii used to have one, but last month it stopped booting and i had to do a full hardware reset so lots all that stuff11:46
Psii hadnt got around to putting it back on11:46
Psiotherwise yeah, could boot from usd11:46
Psiif i had a BGA rework station i could probably unsolder the flash chip and reflash the kernel externally but meh, too much effort11:47
Psiplan to buy a LG g3 when it comes out next month11:47
hurrianPsi: you'd need one hell of a rework station, the OneNAND is on top of the OMAP, and the pads are /tiny/11:48
Psitrue, the kernel is on the oneflash isnt it, not the 32gb flash11:49
hurriani've got a OMAP3530 on my desk, and trying to focus on any features hurts my head, I need a loupe.11:49
Psicould also probably fix it if i knew the jtag headers and specs11:50
hurrianyou'll probably just want to chuck the N900 in a drawer and wait until you're motivated to put on a new USB port :P11:50
bencohor replace it with a neo900 board11:51
Psina, ive already soldered to the USB test pads and tried it, its definitly dead11:51
Psii also found one loose smt cap in the FM TX section and one ESD chip broken while i was looking at the usb socket11:52
Psiits possible one of those loose bits caused the problem by shorting something11:52
hurrianif you've got the massive balls and 1337 h4xx0r skills to do so, rip out the OneNAND, put back the PoP DRAM, and try to flash x-loader using omapflash to the eMMC :D11:53
*** LauRoman has joined #maemo11:54
hurriancome to think of it, we probably should've asked OSSO that some time ago - enable OMAP ROM booting from USB!11:55

DocScrutinizer05hurrian: attach your N900 to a linux PC, check syslog of PC. You'll find "ROM boot" enumerating13:56
DocScrutinizer05hurrian: that's how coldflash works13:57
DocScrutinizer05Psi: 70013:57
DocScrutinizer05and sorry for that, but that's actaully what it costs to build such thing13:58
*** RedW has joined #maemo13:58

DocScrutinizer05Psi: you probably could flash via the test pads under battery, using phenix software and a jtag rig14:39
DocScrutinizer05Psi: anyway the OMAP should enum on USB during power-on14:40
DocScrutinizer05no NAND or kernel involved in that14:40
Psiyeah, but i suspect my usb port driver is damaged14:43
DocScrutinizer05that would be 1704/1707 PHY then14:43
Psiyeah14:43
DocScrutinizer05D428014:44
DocScrutinizer05in schematics14:44
Psi D- got shorted to VCC on connector (must have been something metalic jammed under connector)14:44
DocScrutinizer05*should* not kill the 170714:44
Psii unsoldered the usb connector and the short went away but the usb still doesnt work14:45
DocScrutinizer05are you sure the USB connector itself isn't damaged?14:45
Psiprobably14:46
Psibut i used the usb test pads with the connector unsoldered (short problem fixed) and my PC still cannot recognise the usb device14:47
Psiany idea what component is, i suspect ESD protection http://psi.abcom.co.nz/n900pcb.jpg14:47
Psii found it to be smashed in half when looking at usb socket. Its right near where the stylis tip ends up inside the case which is a bit suspicious. I suspect it has nothing to do with usb prob14:48
*** sq-one has quit IRC14:51
DocScrutinizer05well, apart from my SIM card I see there: V6180 FMTX Ant ESD protector14:51
Psihehe yeah, grabbed pic from goggle image search hehe14:51
DocScrutinizer05FMTX largely unrealted to USB ;-)14:53
Psiyeah14:53
Psiwhats interesting is that windows detects that the usb device is malfuntioned as soon as i plug it in, before even the n900 starts up in usb mode  (pressing u key)14:54
DocScrutinizer05but that component being damaged indicates some severe abuse of device14:54
Psii wouldnt call being dropped 3 times in its life abuse14:55
DocScrutinizer05please check with linux, watch syslog!14:55
Psihttp://pastebin.com/949NjWzL14:56
Psihowever, that's when it was shorted, ive not tried it in linux since fixing the short14:56
DocScrutinizer05I know there are diagnostic tools for USB on windows, but I don't know s*t about windows14:56
DocScrutinizer05USB is not tolerant to bad wiring14:58
DocScrutinizer05even some regular USB cables smetimes might introduce data errors so ENUM fails14:58
DocScrutinizer05when poor cable quality14:59
hurrianmmm, negotiates speed at Low Speed/1.0, cables might be the culprit after all15:00
DocScrutinizer05D+ and D- form a differential 50Ohm(?) line, which means the two wires must run parallel in always same distance and no sharp bends or other incontinuities15:00
DocScrutinizer05hurrian: right15:00
*** Arkenoi has quit IRC15:01
Psithis is with short fixed http://pastebin.com/SzXkMyPc15:01
kerioDocScrutinizer05: are you saying that my 0.20€ chinese usb cable is not certified? D:15:02
dos1(differential line) ah, that explains a lot :)15:02
dos1I have some cheap Y-cable with mini and micro plugs at its two ends, and I wondered why it's working randomly15:03
*** astr has quit IRC15:04
dos1it's great for charging anyway ;)15:04
*** Pilke has joined #maemo15:05
Psina i soldered a 20cm usb cable to the pads, i doubt its a cable issue15:07
Psihttp://psi.abcom.co.nz/n900cable.jpg15:11
*** pcfe has quit IRC15:13
DocScrutinizer05that looks like a massive incontinuity in D+/- lines15:14
DocScrutinizer05might work, but not guaranteed to do15:14
*** pcfe has joined #maemo15:15
*** pcfe has quit IRC15:15
*** pcfe has joined #maemo15:15
Psiyou think i should twist them right up until the pads?15:15
DocScrutinizer05keep them parallel and straight (without sharp bends)15:15
DocScrutinizer05and don't approach the steel too much, next to the pads15:16
*** astr has joined #maemo15:16
DocScrutinizer05btw soldering to the battery contact blades is begging for later trouble. The tin coating never makes proper contact to the battery, since it oxidizes15:17
DocScrutinizer05ask SpeedEvil15:17
DocScrutinizer05but probably you really have a problem in your N900 hardware. Just the question is, what exactly15:19
AggeDoc did I tell you that I got 3 china nokia chargers that have the same serial numbre15:20
DocScrutinizer05lol, nice15:21
DocScrutinizer05though it's questionable if chargers actually have a SERIAL-number15:22
Aggeoriginal nokia ones do15:22
Aggeopened one and an original nokia one and it was a masive difference in the build quality15:23
DocScrutinizer05seems applying an individula unique number to every single charger is overkill and too expensive even for genuine original nokia chargers15:23
DocScrutinizer05ok, opening is a good proof15:23
DocScrutinizer05:-)15:23
Aggethe original one that I opened also had a serial numbre15:24
DocScrutinizer05do you have two originals that have different serial?15:24
Psiyeah i knew soldering batt things was bad, but i was careful to only put solder on the top, not on the surface that touches the battery15:24
DocScrutinizer05Psi: smart! :-)15:24
AggePsi: or further down then the battery touch?15:25
Aggenot from the same production line. have acces to one old round and own one that was dilivered with my old N90015:25
Aggemicrousb one15:25
*** _rd has joined #maemo15:26
Psihttp://psi.abcom.co.nz/n900cable2.jpg15:27
Psi2nd attempt15:27
DocScrutinizer05carefully removing tin by desolder braid, and then with some weak acid (I'm not a good at chemicals, maybe HCl) should also fix solder problems on blades, by removing solder but not really ruining the gold coating15:27
*** Pilke has quit IRC15:27
DocScrutinizer05Psi: that looks much better, yes15:28
Psiexactly the same responce in logs15:29
DocScrutinizer05possibly parts of the protective gear on D+/- got fried15:30
Psii had a look on the scope when it had the shorted problem15:31
AggePsi: are you using a original nokia battery or an aftermarket one?15:31
Psiorigonal15:32
Aggehade some problems with aftermarket ones15:32
Psiwell.. a lab psu atm, so no batt at all15:32
*** useretail has quit IRC15:33
Psias soon as i connect vbat power i get the white nokia logo screen, then it goes back for a few sec, vibrates and starts again with the white screen15:33
Psiback=black15:34
Psipressing U gets the USB logo15:34
Aggeexactly what hapened with one phone when I tryed to use a aftermarket battery15:34
Psibut thats about all ive seen it do15:34
Psii wonder if it doesnt like the missing temp sensor wire being disconnected15:35
Aggeexactly what do the third battery conector pin do?15:35
Aggemigh be some risistance or somthing that needs to be ablied for it to like the battery?15:35
DocScrutinizer05Psi: definitely a problem15:36
DocScrutinizer05(missing BSI)15:36
DocScrutinizer0580kR to ... GND(?)15:36
Psii dont think thats the cause of the usb issue though15:36
DocScrutinizer05NOLO already checking BSI15:36
*** _rd has quit IRC15:37
DocScrutinizer05there's even a special "test battery" that switches device into debug mode via special resistor value on BSI15:37
AggePsi: what about the lab suply and usb conection to a computer?15:37
DocScrutinizer05JTAG jig also has a special BSI resistor15:37
DocScrutinizer05APE *and* modem +both* check BSI value15:38
PsiAgge: ?15:38
*** remarc has quit IRC15:38
*** remarc has joined #maemo15:38
AggePsi: did you get any difference to the syslog output after you begun using the lab power suply insted of a battery?15:39
DocScrutinizer05Psi: attach 70..80kR BSI - GND!15:39
DocScrutinizer05it's probably unrelated to your USB trouble, but for sure introduces even more random weird effects when BSI is missing15:40
PsiAgge: ah, not sure15:41
Psiits a good question though15:41
DocScrutinizer05please test with linux PC and powered down N90015:41
Psii have put 100R onto BSI (same as offical bat)15:41
DocScrutinizer05you should see a proper Omap ROM Boot ENUM15:41
DocScrutinizer05WUT???15:41
Psisorry 100k15:41
AggePsi: I would also test if I wold be able to get the rescue os to boot15:42
Psii measued the offical batt and got 100k15:42
DocScrutinizer05well, original pat has 75..8015:42
DocScrutinizer05but irrelevant15:42
DocScrutinizer05100k works too15:42
PsiAgge: rescue os?15:42

DocScrutinizer05Psi: you should check if ROM bootloader enumerates on USB15:54
Psihow do i check that15:54
Psiis it a different hold key or something15:55
DocScrutinizer05connect powered-down device to linux machine, then provide power via USB15:55
DocScrutinizer05ROM boot will not check for any keys pressed15:56
DocScrutinizer05ROM BL only checks USB and enums, every single time the CPU boots15:56
DocScrutinizer05this is how clodflash works15:56
DocScrutinizer05~coldflash15:57
infobotextra, extra, read all about it, coldflash is http://mg.pov.lt/maemo-irclog/%23maemo.2010-10-31.log.html#t2010-10-31T23:34:01 (jacekowski's instructions), or http://wiki.maemo.org/Updating_the_firmware/Cold_Flashing15:57
Psisame thing in logs, and phone just keeps rebooting15:57
DocScrutinizer05it's NOT (I *repeat: NOT) recommended to do cold flashing ever, unless you have very strong ndications that NOLO is defective15:57
DocScrutinizer05your logs are incomplete15:58
DocScrutinizer05they only show end of a failing enum15:58
DocScrutinizer05to see what's going on you need first few lines, not last15:59
DocScrutinizer05it doesn't matter if device reboots or whatever15:59
DocScrutinizer05as soon as CPU gets powered up, it executes ROM BL and (one of) first things ROM BL does is ENUM on USB, to check if a flasher asks for coldflash16:00
DocScrutinizer05ROM BL is the initial bootloader, stored to ROM in CPU and immutable16:01
Psithis is all i get in kern.log http://pastebin.com/WSxx2zDX16:01
*** Wizzup has quit IRC16:01
Psimaybe i need to enable better loging16:01
DocScrutinizer05ROM BL does USB ENUM before it initializes any LCD or anything else16:02
Psiim familar with the message MSwindows is giving when i plug it into that, its the message you get when there is serious USB communication problems16:03
DocScrutinizer05if that's the very first line that shows up after you attach your powered-down N900, then you got a hw problem (or driver problem on PC side, but that's pretty unlikely)16:03
Psiyeah16:03
Psii think there must be a broken data line to the driver chip. Or the chip is fried16:04
DocScrutinizer05particularly it shows that *some* of USB data still works, or otherwise the PC wouldn't even notice the USB device attached16:04
DocScrutinizer05broken data line is possible but unlikely, particularly when you attached cable the way you did16:05
DocScrutinizer05a short of one data line to something else is highly likely16:05
DocScrutinizer05fried PHY is also possible but only likely when some terribly broken charger got attached16:06
Psiwell it can be VCC or GND as i have checked ohms with DMM and its in the meg range between D- and D+ to GND or VCC16:06
DocScrutinizer051707 PHY supposed to survive 5V on data line, and for sure supposed to survive data line grounded16:06
DocScrutinizer05please check voltage on open-end D- D+16:07
DocScrutinizer05vs GND16:07
Psiopen-end ?16:08
DocScrutinizer05I don't recall the exact values from top of my head, but for sure not 0V16:08
DocScrutinizer05not connected to PC16:08
DocScrutinizer05only device powered up16:08
honestlyUSB uses differential signaling16:08
DocScrutinizer05I know16:08
DocScrutinizer05naming of D- D+ suggests that already16:08
honestlyso idle connection should have both lines pulled up somewhat16:09
DocScrutinizer05yup16:09
honestlyat 2V or something like that16:09
DocScrutinizer05:nod:16:09
honestly(:16:09
Psiboth D- and D+ goto about 0.3V on DMM for about 0.5second right at power on when it vibrates16:10
Psithen goto zero volts16:10
Psihowever DMM maybe lying, should really  use scope16:10
DocScrutinizer05actually I think *idle* USB device PHY has both pulled up weak (range of  100k), while active device (Vbus +5V) PHY is supposed to pull up one by 1.5k and pull down other by 15k or somesuch, depending on low speed or full speed it's either D+ or D- that's pulled up. I can't recall details from top of my head16:11
DocScrutinizer05Psi: that sounds conclusive16:12
DocScrutinizer05well, except for the 0.3V which probably are somewhat higher, but DMM is too slow16:13
Psiyeah, scope says its actually 0.6v16:13
DocScrutinizer05Psi: I take it you have a lab PSU attached to battery?16:13
Psiyep16:13
Psiat 4.0V16:14
DocScrutinizer05a battery voltage of <3.0V should cause CPU not booting and instead bq24150 charger chip asking 1707 PHY about D+/- short and depending on that it lits up the steady yellow indicator LED16:15
DocScrutinizer05make Vbatt 2.3V please16:15
*** mkaindl has joined #maemo16:15
DocScrutinizer05then apply 5V Vusb16:15
DocScrutinizer05do this one time with open D+/- and one time with D+/- short16:16
DocScrutinizer05sorry I have no discharged battery here, so can't reproduce the procedure. So you have to trust in my poor and clouded memory, or check the schematics and bq24150 datasheet yourself16:17
DocScrutinizer05I *think* it's even sufficient to connect Vbatt+ and Vbatt-GND with a e.g. 100R, and not apply any voltage at all16:19
Psiyep, led comes on with D- and D+ as they are.  If i short them and repeat i get no led16:19
DocScrutinizer05ooh16:19
DocScrutinizer05that's kinda weird16:20
*** remarc_ has joined #maemo16:20
DocScrutinizer05should be exactly other way round16:20
DocScrutinizer05LED is amber?16:20
Psiyellow16:20
DocScrutinizer05or is it red, or green, or flashing?16:20
Psinot red or green16:20
DocScrutinizer05steady yellow, yep that's correct16:21
Psinot flashing, just solid16:21
DocScrutinizer05weird16:21
Psiit wouldnt be able to draw the full 1A charge from usb PC 5v anyway16:21
DocScrutinizer05np, that's not what it tries to do16:21
*** remarc has quit IRC16:22
DocScrutinizer05it however would try to charge up battery from charger with as much as it can pull from USB16:22
DocScrutinizer05can you see on lab PSU how much it pulls16:22
DocScrutinizer05?16:22
DocScrutinizer05or see voltage on battery pins going up, or sth?16:23
Psiyep, i can see that, it pulls the 2.3v up to 3.25V16:23
Psican see it on lab psu meter16:23
DocScrutinizer05It might be that it charges "battery" with 100mA when D+/- ope circuit, and tries with 500ma on D+/- short, thus causing Vbus supply cutting out and no yellow LED16:24
DocScrutinizer053.25 is correct for charging, yes16:24
DocScrutinizer05it's emergency charging end voltage16:24
Psiah, makes sense16:25
Psido you know if the usb driver IC is BGA or not16:25
DocScrutinizer05when end voltage reached, bq24150 quits emergency charging and allows CPU to boot up16:25
DocScrutinizer05it's BGA, yes16:26
DocScrutinizer05http://wiki.maemo.org/N900_Hardware_USB#USB_Phy16:27
Psiis there a manual for the n900 which matches the part numbers in the schmatic diagram to physical locations on the pcb?16:27
DocScrutinizer05the schematics itself has that, at end (page 15 orso)16:28
Psireally, i must have missed it16:29
* Psi looks16:29
DocScrutinizer05sorry, page 1616:29
*** _rd has quit IRC16:29
Psiyeah, im looking at it now16:30
Psifor some reason i thought that was missing16:30
DocScrutinizer05http://wiki.maemo.org/N900_Hardware_Schematic#Page_16_Component_Finder_.28Top.2916:30
DocScrutinizer05anyway your tests suggest that 1707a PHY can detect a D+/- short correctly. That tells some story about what must be OK and working on your device16:31
*** Wizzup has joined #maemo16:31
Psiyeah16:32
DocScrutinizer05particularly it does suggest that none of D+ D- traces to phy is broken16:32
Psinow that i know how to find components on the board and trace the circuit i will have another play with the meter looking for faults16:33
Psioh, there is a missing cap on the FM tx that i found loose in the phone16:33
PsiC618416:33
Psiits part of the sleep clock input to the FM tx chip16:33
DocScrutinizer05ouch16:34
Psithe cap was still there, inside the metal can16:34
Psijust loose16:34
DocScrutinizer05OUCH!16:34
Psiyeah, im beginning to wonder if one of the two broken components inside the phone may have touched something and shorted it out16:35
* DocScrutinizer05 wonders how to find out which cap got loose, without opening can and while doing that, at least remove the loose cap16:35
*** useretail has quit IRC16:36
Psiyeah, i have removed both the broken ESD chip and the borken cap16:36
DocScrutinizer05yeah, a loose component is always a high risk to short other stuff randomly16:36
Psicap looks ok, its still intact but esd chip i only found one half of it16:36
DocScrutinizer05wtf? how can such a tiny chip break into parts16:37
Psihave a look where that chip is, its right at the point of the stylis16:37
DocScrutinizer05hmm, not really16:37
DocScrutinizer05some millimeter space between the two16:37
Psii dunno, just seems an odd coincidence16:38
Psii do push the stylis in with some force16:38
DocScrutinizer05sure, when you bend the whole device a 10mm... ;-P16:38
Psiheh16:38
Psiok, i need to sleep, its 1:40 here and i have to get up for work at 616:39
DocScrutinizer05or insert something that's not exactly a correctly shaped stylus16:39
Psithanks a lot for your help16:39
DocScrutinizer05yw, good luck!16:39
Psina, ive never put anything into the stylus hole thats not a stylus16:39
Psimaybe the chip came loose and got hit by the vibrator16:40
DocScrutinizer05possible16:40
Psithat might crack it16:40
DocScrutinizer05yup16:40
Psiok, see ya.  Thanks16:40
