Hi, all

An system application crash running on 2.4.18 was
happened on my custom 8xx board every now and then,
especially recently. Yeah, the probelm is becoming
more and more obvious. Personally, I deem it as an
default of application software because there are some
complicated application softwares like GUI and a
browser. But I also suspect that my custom keyboard
did it because there were about 70-80 PCMCIA
interrupts created once I hit just one key. I used
PCMCIA interrupt to accept the rubber keyboard input.
Still one thing, for development convenience, I just
use one SDRAM init setting and process for bus freq.
at 24MHZ/48MHZ. Which one could be the killer? Any
other possibility?

Thanks in advance!

Best regards,

Sam

Well, after some test on keyboard drivers, I found
that neither USB HOST keyboard nor my PCMCIA keyboard
could lead to system hang. It seems that the killer
isn't the PCMCIA keyboard driver.
 
> Any other possibility?

Seems have. The interesting thing was that I could
quit from the hanged application with a special key
and restarted the application and continued operate.
I, however, noticed some errors hints printed on the
LCD panel as "No enough video memory" during the
break.

So my attention was drawn to the 823 LCD driver. Two
different 10.4" SHARP TFT LCD panel with 640*480 and
800*600 were tested on the same target. I found that
640*480 system was more robust than 800*600 one. There
were also some hang happened with some disorder input
on 640*480 but the system could recover to normal
after some time like 3-5 mintues. The recoverable
result never appeared on 800*600.

Here I'd like to make sure one thing that whether I
could extend the video memory to meet the application
need. There are a lot of RAM on my target, at least
64MB. Any suggestion?

Thanks in advance,

Best regards,

Sam

Sorry, syntax error.

The above line sould be: I found that BOTH USB HOST
keyboard AND my PCMCIA keyboard could lead to system
hang.

Thanks,
