Patches & Workaround for Board-Support-Packages

This page contains patches and workarounds to the latest BSP-releases and Windows Embedded CE Images. Those patches will be applied to subsequent BSP-releases.

Patches & Workaround CE6.0 BSPs

Change of Audio/Touch Codec on Trizeps Modules

Because the UCB1400-codec used on most Trizeps modules is announced to be EOL, the Wolfson WM9715-codec will be used as replacement part on new revisions of those modules.
This preliminary patch is availlable for all who want to be prepared for the revision change. The new drivers will automatically detect which codec is used and automatically scale values measured with a WM9715-module to fit UCB1400. The WM9715 uses 12bit ADC, whereas the UCB1400 only had a 10bit ADC.

New drvlib_app.dll function so see, which Codec is mounted: AC97_GetCodecID

If UCB1400 compatible-values are not needed, set these registry-keys to remove extra calculations and benefit from the extra ADC-resolution:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\TOUCH]
    "scaleADC0"=dword:0
    "scaleADC1"=dword:0
    "scaleADC2"=dword:0
    "scaleADC3"=dword:0
    "scaleADCx"=dword:0
    "scaleADCy"=dword:0
    "scaleADCz"=dword:0 

scaling is done like shown here:

#define CALC_ADC( x, scale)\
  ((scale==0)?x:(((x<<10)/(scale&0xFFFF))+((scale&0xFFFF0000)>>16)))

   ....
   x = CALC_ADC( xm, scaleADC0);
   ....

Issue: Images built for the UCB1400 codec only will not boot. The codec affects audio, touch and ADC-measurements functions. Following files need to be replaced: wavedev.dll, ucbtouch.dll, drvlib_app.dll. Please note, that if you written an own driver that links against drvlib.lib and uses ADC or other codec-functions, you might need to recompile that too.

Change of USB OTG Phy

The new Trizeps-IV M comes with a new ST OTG Phy chip which now interprets the speed select input. The old NXP Phy did not interpret the USB slewing rate select. It was alway selected as „high“. The Old BSPs did not set this GPIO so that the new PHY is not able to handle Full Speed connections well. The BSP update contains corrected USB drivers to handle LOW and FULL Speed connections with old and new Phys correctly.

Affected BSP: All Trizeps IV, V and VI BSPs before 2013.

BF-flash Fix ( BSP prior to 2010Q4)

The newest Trizeps-Modules come with BF-flash.
This flash is incompatible to older versions of the IPSM3700 (flashdisk-driver) and older versions of the kernel (save registry function).
To only change a minimum to existing verified images apply follwing patch and rebuild the kernel.

Trizeps IV patch_tr4ce6_bf_flash.zip
Trizeps V patch_tr5ce6_bf_flash.zip

Patch-Instructions (for Trizeps V replace tr4conxs with tr5conxs):

Backup your project.
Copy PSMHAL.lib, Registry.lib, PSMFSD.dll and PSMFSD.rel to .\wince600\platform\tr4conxs\src\drivers\ipsm3700\pxa2xx\pbk4.2\bin.
Copy .\debug\hal.lib to .\wince600\platform\tr4conxs\binary\lib\armv4i\debug and .\wince600\platform\tr4conxs\lib\armv4i\debug.
Copy .\retail\hal.lib to .\wince600\platform\tr4conxs\binary\lib\armv4i\retail and .\wince600\platform\tr4conxs\lib\armv4i\retail.
Open your solution.
Build → Open Build Release Directory in Build Window
Change to .\wince600\platform\tr4conxs\src\oal directory and enter build -c.
Close Build Window.
Build → Make Run-Time Image.

Added support for eboot rndis-transport.

Affected BSP: 2008Q4 and prior Windows Embedded CE6 BSP-releases for Trizeps4 (tr4conxs and tr4uconxs).
Bug-Time:
Workaround:
Use RNDIS (USB-Function) KITL-transport.
Or use the patch.
Patch: patch_tr4_u_conxs_eboot_patch_2009_03_23.zip

Issue: Recording sound after suspend-resume is not possible.
