Hello =). Not sure if this is the right place to ask: do you guys know about `mini-dm`? It is a tool to get log output from the DSP on my qualcomm board. I just would like to understand what it needs to run (I have a rootfs where it works, and another one where it doesn't)
<DavidHeidelberg[m]>
lumag: did you managed to report the failures with new firmware for a630? :P
<lumag>
DavidHeidelberg[m], yes, but I haven't heard back from them.
<DavidHeidelberg[m]>
:( hopefully they try to figure it out
<lumag>
If not, we'll have to try to understand what causes these issues, IOW narrow the issue.

jonesv strace is probably your only hope :/
<jonesv>
konradybcio1: not sure I got that. So `mini-dm` runs on my host computer and somehow gets the logs from the device. Running strace on my host won't help, right?
<konradybcio>
hm right
<konradybcio>
maybe there's some complementary daemon
<jonesv>
konradybcio1: The thing is... I guess that *something* has to be running on the rootfs (or maybe in the kernel?) for mini-dm to work
<jonesv>
konradybcio1: exactly, some complementary daemon. But I can't find it. I've been trying killing daemons one at a time until mini-dm failed, but wasn't successful there
<jonesv>
I don't even know how the thing talks to the device. Some kind of serial over usb?
<jonesv>
I just wish there was some documentation somewhere saying "mini-dm talks to service minidaemon", so that on the working device I could go check what it is and where it comes from
<jonesv>
But I'm struggling with documentation around Qualcomm stuff, I must say
