I see now. Odd that i'm not encountering this lockup.
I moved the other cpufreq_notify and pushed it to the branch. Let me know if that works now.

MA 11:16 AM MityDSP-L138 (ARM9 Based Platforms) Software Development: RE: I2C 0x8 Address
Yes, that only works when moving to a higher frequency because the voltage adjustments are made before the call to cpufreq_notify_transition(&freqs, CPUFREQ_PRECHANGE);
When moving back down to the lower frequency, cpufreq_notify_tran...

Well at the least I can identify the others. 0x38 is the dvi chip, 0x48 is the pmic, and 0x50-58 is the eeprom. When I try to read from the 0x08 address I get all sorts of i2c error messages.

It may be perfectly fine with the generic name then.
Try changing the spi clock speed and see if you get different results. I found with the nor on our SoM the erase seemed faster when run at 1Mhz but the write was much faster at 48M...

As per the On-The-Go spec, the mini USB adapter is supposed to tie the USB_ID pin to GND to indicate it should be put into host mode.

OK, now I get it. There's no resistor on my board pulling the ID pin down to 0V. I've just put a link between pins 4 & 5 on J100 and its all OK now.
I'll try putting an image on there for it to boot from and let you know.

I just tested this by first plugging the flash drive into the full size usb port J102. With no luck. Then plugged drive into J100 via adapter cable and it was discovered. See log below. Jonathan Cormier

I forgot to say that I know that the USB port works because, once in Linux I can mount the drive OK and read/write files etc.
USB drive is plugged into J100 via an adapter cable.
