Current Status:
Here is the current status of the systems I am working on:
| System | Status | Comment |
|---|
| USB Host | | Done, but lacks PM and see known bugs. usb-storage uses 3% CPU @ 900kB/s. |
| Internal WiFi | | Done. Works out of the box. |
Known Issues/Bugs:
- USB periodic transfers are guaranteed bandwidth, but not dma memory. Expect them to not work correctly.
- Because of the above, during heavy USB bus load, the internal wireless dies with "error fetching commsqual". Workaround: "echo 32 > /sys/block/sda/device/max_sectors". This decreases throughput to 670kB/s @ 3% CPU.
