Hmm, I can't get USB either, using the new device tree kernel Vogtinator built today. And I cant get it with my own kernel either.

lsusb shows nothing.

How do you switch into host mode?

Connect any usb device and wait for the error message ("Can't communicate with ...")
What does "dmesg" show?
I'll look into that when I can boot linux on my calc as well and tested the new GPIO driver...

There's no error message and nothing interesting in dmesg. It just doesn't work.

It SHOULD at least mention something like "ehci.0: registered" or whatever the usb controller is called in the DT.

My typical procedere:
 - Switch on Calc
 - Install ndless
 - plug in USB-Cable
 - Press OK on the popup-window
 - start linuxloader

I did:
 - start my kernel+dtb -> no usb
 - start your kernel+dtb -> no usb
 - dig around in menuconfig -> make changes #1 #2 mentioned above
 - start my kernel+dtb -> still no usb -> lsusb shows nothing (no error etc.)

I'll redownload your kernel+dtb again and try again..

BTW: your xconfig-download gives me:
Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /nspire-linux-builds/xconfig-latest.tar.bz2 on this server.

--- preview spits out new posts:
dmesg | grep ehci
ehci_hcd: USB 2.0 'Enhanced' Host Contgroller (EHCI) Driver
ehci-platform: EHCI generic platform deriver

But on my kernel (!), will try yours now..

ehci_hcd: USB 2.0 'Enhanced' Host Controller (EHCI) Driver
usbcore: registered new interface driver usb-storage
usbcore: registered new interface driver usbhid
usbhid: USB HID core driver

That's the only stuff having to do with usb.

Oops, should be fixed now, sorry.

ehci_hcd: USB 2.0 'Enhanced' Host Controller (EHCI) Driver
usbcore: registered new interface driver usb-storage
usbcore: registered new interface driver usbhid
usbhid: USB HID core driver
I get the same + three additional ones (with the fresh downloaded kernel,initramfs,dtb):
usbcore: registered new interface driver usbfs
usbcore: registered new interface driver hub
usbcore: registered new device driver usb

Seems that ehci (specifically "ehci-platform") is not supported as devicetree node.
It should be possible to apply this patch though and change
Code: [Select]
                usb1: usb@B4000000 {
                        reg = <0xB4000000 0x1000>;
                        interrupts = <9>;
                        status = "disabled";
                };
to
Code: [Select]
                usb1: usb@B4000000 {
                        reg = <0xB4000000 0x1000>;
                        interrupts = <9>;
                        compatible = "ehci-platform";
                };

Sorry guys, still pushing the USB driver through to mainline for the device tree kernel.

Users who don't need cutting edge should probably stick to the old kernel for now.

The freezing at boot problem could be the result of turning on earlyprintk but selecting the wrong serial driver. Turning it off should solve the boot freezes.

I have Linux on my TI-Nspire CX (Non CAS), and it freezes at boot. Any way to get it to boot?

Wait, how did you get Linux to install on a J or K hardware Nspire? O.O (since nLaunchy doesn't work on those) Or could the freeze be due to the calc hardware?

The original method of loading Linux on the Nspire was using a loader, and the loader works fine with Ndless 3.6 (not sure if it works with the newer hardware revisions as I don't have those).
