Linux users: watch out for last-gen Intel Atom

Linux users: watch out for last-gen Intel Atom

Oops. They did it again.

It hit the market during the last few weeks. Last generation of Intel Atoms: CedarView (D2300, D2500, D2550, D2600, D2700) and Cedar Trail (N2600, N2700, N2800) SoCs integrate a PowerVR GPU from Imagination instead of the usual Intel GPU. If you remember the Poulsbo fiasco, it's the same. More or less.

An unsupported graphic card on Linux distributions, and which can't properly support a basic desktop environnment like Unity or Gnome 3.

To prevent this issue, Intel woke up MeeGo from the dead in last february [to add support for CedarView]

How to read pstore/ramoops via mtkclient

How to extract PStore from a device with mtkclient

  • This must be done after a kernel panic/warm boot. Otherwise you might not get any meaningful data.
  • The first two steps can be skipped if you know the address and the length of the region.
  1. Extract expdb partition and run the strings against the image.
$ python mtk.py r expdb expdb.img
