Critical and others problems with hostmode

Device - N900
OS - Maemo 5
V. 21.2011.38-1 (CSSU)
kernel-power 1:2.6.28-10power50
hostmode-gui 0.3

With that "hostmode-gui" (h-e-n) I can easily initialize USB-device but
it don't want to mount on my FS with that gui. So, I need to mount it
(and umount) mannualy.
Today I found a critical problem with using h-e-n. I did not use it from
the last summer and I don't remember what of version of "kernel-power" I
used that time (of course. not v.50 as now :) ) and whether I used CSSU
or not but I had no that problem at that time. (But at that time it
needs for me to start bme mannualy after closing h-e-n windows becouse
it didn't start automatically and at one time I even had problems with
(re)booting my device).
Now, since today, when I close the "h-e-n" gui, my device suddenly is
shutting down and I need to boot it for working with it.
How can I resolve the above-mentioned issues?

Hi,

shutdown after closing h-e-n GUI can be caused by starting BME
when bq27x00_battery driver is loaded. BME and bq27x00_battery
cannot be loaded at same time. So make sure that bq27x00_battery
is blacklisted in /etc/modprobe.d/* and also is NOT in list
/etc/modules

automounting FS in usb hostmode (without pressing mount button or
mounting via terminal) will work if you update kernel-power to
v50 and ke-recv to last version. Last version of ke-recv will be
updated with next CSSU update. So wait for next CSSU and
automouting will work.

Thanks. Yes, I have the bq27x00_battery driver is loaded:
lsmod | grep bq27x00_battery
bq27x00_battery 6480 0
power_supply 6916 1 bq27x00_battery

I enabled it for purposes getting temperature as it discribed in the
page "http://wiki.maemo.org/Overclocking"
So, if I want use h-e-n I need to disable it?

Thanks for your answer.
But I was not strictly correct, I cannot mount it not only automatically
but also using mount-button in h-e-x. I can mount only via terminal
command.

Yeah, thanks, there was that problem. After rmmoding bq27x00_battery it
works without the problem of device's OS shutting down.

You cannot run BME and bq27x00_battery together. So you can load
bq driver when BME is stopped and before starting BME driver must
be unloaded.

So normal usage is: stop BME, load bq driver.... then remove bq
driver and start BME.

h-e-n gui is stopping BME, so when h-e-n is open you can load bq
driver, but do not forget to unload it before closing h-e-n.

If you can mount it via terminal, automounting with new version
of ke-recv will work. Wait for next CSSU. If it will not work
with next CSSU + kp50 write me then.

There is problem that BME and bq driver want to talking to bq
chip via i2c bus. For security reason this cannot be allowed, but
it is possible to start BME and then load driver (in this order).
This is bug in kernel and this situation is DANGEROUS!!!

Is there any way to get temperature without the bq27x00_battery module

Strange. As I see, when I use option "reply to list" in my Icedove
3.0.11 it places "pali.rohar@gmail.com" into "to" not
"maemo-users@maemo.org"
But with another lists it works as expected, not so strange. Probably
the settings of the list are something wrong?

Yes, directly via i2c bus from userspace. You need i2cget utility
and run it as root. Look at shadowjk bq27200.sh information
script at http://enivax.net/jk/n900/bq27200.sh

Looks like this list does not set a reply-to header

Very thanks. That script indicates temperature.
Interesting, what means "Cycle Count since Learning: 29 Total Cycle
Count since last full reset: 134"? There are no HDD in the device :)

Battery charge/discharge cycles. The battery fuel gauge chip will count
the capacity from full charge down to empty, and learn the battery's
capacity. Due to the default settings, it takes about 4-5 such learning
cycles before it learns the capacity correctly the first time. It's also
actually a bit rare to have the chip learn capacity normally, because
bme shuts down device before the threshold at which the chip considers
the battery empty.

In any case, 29 means 29 charge/discharge cycles since the last cycle
during which it could learn the battery capacity. 134 total
charge/discharge cycles.

It gets reset if the battery is removed for a longer time.
