[PATCH] firmware/raspberrypi: raise timeout to 3s

[PATCH] firmware/raspberrypi: raise timeout to 3s

[Etienne Buira]

Raspberry firmware driver expected said firmware to answer by 1 second.
That seems to work fine for most cases, but with
RPI_FIRMWARE_NOTIFY_DISPLAY_DONE, that IIUC may need to reconfigure a
monitor, i end up reliably having timeouts:

generally i'm fine with this change, but could you please add spaces 
around the operator? This should better align to the coding style.

Out of curiosity and because i never saw this issue, could you please 
provide more details?
There is nothing connected to HDMI 0 & 1 ?
Which firmware version are you running?
Do you use a special configuration?

Best regards

[PATCH v3] firmware/raspberrypi: raise timeout to 3s

[Etienne Buira]

Raspberry firmware driver expected said firmware to answer by 1 second.
However, some firmware versions are buggy and can take longer with
RPI_FIRMWARE_NOTIFY_DISPLAY_DONE.
[    2.861407] ------------[ cut here ]------------
[    2.865512] Firmware transaction 0x00030066 timeout

Raising the timeout to 3 seconds (ought to be enough®) doesn't trigger
timeouts anymore for me and proceeds to the next failure.

Some details about firmware debugging are available here:

Hi Stefan

There is nothing very special, hdmi0 is connected to a monitor, there's
a (independantly powered) hdd on usb3, keyboard/mouse on usb2 ports, a
Gb network wire, UART, and nothing else.

The afore-mentioned next failure is also about graphic stack (hdmi
signal is lost as soon as VC4 driver loads), i seeked for help here:
https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/dri-devel/2025-May/505475.html
(btw, if you have a hint...).

In this case, i meant the kernel configuration. Do you use 
arm64/defconfig or arm/multi_v7_lpae_defconfig or a custom one?

Did you tried to connect a different monitor? Does the timeout still occurs?

Firmware version is 2025-02-17T20:03:07, i also attach the full gzipped
dmesg, as long as a patch of extra traces used.
I did not specifically test other firmware versions for the timeout
issue (but i did for video output).

I use a custom one, attached.

No, i only use raspberry firmware/loader.

Just tried another monitor, and yes, timeout occurs without the patch.
Both monitors showed something when driven by firmware and
simple-framebuffer.

Thanks, i'll try to reproduce.

Sorry, i forgot but is this reproducible with a recent stable 6.12.x kernel?

okay, i've update the firmware on my older Raspberry Pi 4 to the same 
version as yours. But even with your configuration i don't see this kind 
of fallout. So I think we shouldn't apply this patch until we really 
know what's going on.

You don't have another Raspberry Pi 4 by any chance?
Another cause might be the toolchain. Currently I use a not so fresh gcc 
11.3.1 from Linaro.

Except of this, I noticed that your configuration doesn't enable 
DWC2_DUAL_ROLE and the LEDS_TRIGGER.

Ok, thank you, did you make sure a powered hdmi sink were connected? I
noticed there is no timeout if no hdmi is plugged (but there were when
monitor were powered off, maybe specific to my monitor).

No, i don't.

Previous tries were cross built. I tried a native build with (Gentoo
packages) gcc 14.2.1_p20241221, binutils 2.44, and glibc 2.40-r8; but
got same result.
Will do a software upgrade overnight to try with more up to date build
system.

I have no use of them (and i have a lot of things to disable, but i
prefer to do that starting with a working system).

Yes, HDMI monitor was connected to HDMI 0 and powered on. Raspberry Pi 
OS started as expected.

The fact that your SDIO interface triggers a warning, which I also don't 
get let me think this is not just related to HDMI interface.

I will try to update my toolchain, but this will take some time.

I this case you can disable DWC2 completely, because USB host is 
provided by xhci driver. LEDS_TRIGGER is used for the ACT LED as heartbeat.

Hi Stefan

I think this warning is because there is nothing in SD slot (i boot from
usb).

Ok, thank you.
I updated the whole thing, but no change in toolchain versions. I'm
trying to get a gcc11 based one.

Okay, this was the reason why i wasn't able to reproduce. I usually boot 
from SD card.

After connecting my USB SD card reader to a USB 3.0 port (not USB 2.0 
port), I'm able to reproduce the firmware "timeout".

@Phil Do you have a explanation why USB 3.0 Boot on Raspberry Pi 4 could 
cause such a delayed reponse (> 1 s) for Firmware transaction 0x00030066?

@Etienne Actually an empty SD card shouldn't trigger such a register 
dump, but that's a different issue.
