Hi all,
I created a usb stick to load TinyCorePure64 14.0 using UEFI and successfully booted to the desktop on the Macbook Pro.
However, the
- keyboard not working and
- mouse not working.
I also booted on a Dell laptop with UEFI with similar result:
- keyboard working :)
- mouse not working
Can anyone please guide me how to make the keyboard and mouse work?
Thank you..
-
I boot a Dell laptop from usb stick using uefi without problems - are you using the built-in keyboard/mouse?
Which boot loader are you using - grub, syslinux or?
-
Hi, yes I'm using built-in keyboard/mouse.
I don't remember the Dell model number though. It's not with me now.
I booted UEFI using grub.
So, the usb actually will boot to bios by syslinux and to UEFI by grub.
-
Did you check the bios settings for uefi boot and boot security?
-
No i did not.
But when I boot using other distro (one of arch based) everything works.
Both in Dell and Macbook Pro.
Btw, there's no bios settings in Macbook anyway and one of my intention is to make it work with Macbook as well.
-
You'd need to start with checking dmesg, if they are even detected. For the macbook, perhaps with external usb mouse and keyboard.
-
Hi Curaga, I don't have usb c keyboard for the macbook.
But I did dmesg on the Dell 7490
And here's what i got for keyboard, mouse and usb

and here's for ps/2

But I don't understand what those output mean though ::)

Hi pek
Try adding the boot code:
i8042.nopnpand see if the AUX port disabled message goes away.
-
Hi pek
Add the i2c-KERNEL.tcz extension to onboot.
Run this command:
dmesg | grep -Ei "keyb|mouse|ps/2|i8042|touch" > dmesg.txtand then post the contents of dmesg.txt.
-
Hi Rich, thanks for your suggestions.
In summary, by loading i2c-KERNEL.tcz onboot, makes
* Keyboard and Mouse work on Dell (with or without i8042.nopnp boot code)
* Keyboard and Mouse still not work on Macbook Pro (with or without i8042.nopnp boot code)
Here are the dmesg output in reply to your questions:

I will try to dmesg on macbook later when I have access to usb-c keyboard or adapter.
So, what is this i2c-KERNEL.tcz ?
Why it makes mouse works on Dell 7490?
Thanks.
-
i2c is an internal device technology/communication bus. Your Dell's mouse is an i2c device apparently, which is fairly rare.
Apple on the other hand does custom everything, needing Apple-specific drivers usually. It's possible we don't have something enabled in the kernel for your MBP.
-
Thanks for the explanation Curaga.
Btw, when i said "mouse", what i actually meant was the "touchpad". Sorry for that.
Apple on the other hand does custom everything, needing Apple-specific drivers usually. It's possible we don't have something enabled in the kernel for your MBP.
I booted other live distro on the MBP and keyboard/touchpad worked.
Don't you think there's a generic/common driver for this?
-
You can check which drivers are being loaded on the other distro using "lsmod" and "dmesg" and compare with tinycore to see what's missing.
-
That's a great idea Juanito. Thanks.
Since I don't have usb-c keyboard yet for Tinycore,
I would just paste outputs from the other distro with working keyboard and touchpad here.
Just incase anyone can spot something before I can paste the comparison.

..would tend to indicate you need to look at the spi_pxa2xx_platform and applespi divers
-
Hopefully, it's not this:
# CONFIG_SPI is not set
-
The Linux kernel configuration item CONFIG_KEYBOARD_APPLESPI:
prompt: Apple SPI keyboard and trackpad
type: tristate
depends on: ( CONFIG_ACPI && CONFIG_EFI ) && ( CONFIG_SPI ) && ( CONFIG_X86 || CONFIG_COMPILE_TEST ) && ( CONFIG_LEDS_CLASS )
defined in drivers/input/keyboard/Kconfig
found in Linux kernels: 5.3–5.19, 6.0–6.3
modules built: applespi
...looks like it is and you'll need to recompile the kernel :(
-
Thank you very much Juanito for looking into this.
Although I already lost since this :o
..would tend to indicate you need to look at the spi_pxa2xx_platform and applespi divers
So.. can you please show me link of howto recompile kernel? (I will need to learn a lot before actually doing it)
And what "things" should I recompile into the kernel?
-
If you search these forums on “prepare kernel source” someone asked the same question last week.
-
You may also need this:
The Linux kernel configuration item CONFIG_SPI_PXA2XX:
prompt: PXA2xx SSP SPI master
type: tristate
depends on: CONFIG_ARCH_PXA || CONFIG_ARCH_MMP || CONFIG_PCI || CONFIG_ACPI || CONFIG_COMPILE_TEST

modules built: pxa2xx_spi, spi-pxa2xx-platform, spi-pxa2xx
-
Thanks for the hints.
I'm guessing this is the link
http://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php/topic,26236.msg168802.html#msg168802 (http://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php/topic,26236.msg168802.html#msg168802)
So far, I don't understand any of that yet.. ;D and it's getting very late now.
I'll come back and learn it bit by bit later and possibly one day I'll comeback to actually do it. 8)

Hi Juanito,
I think this is the key part to get started
To prepare the CorePure64-14.x kernel source:
Code: [Select]
tce-load -i compiletc perl5 elfutils-dev ncursesw-dev bc
wget http://tinycorelinux.net/14.x/x86_64/release/src/kernel/linux-6.1.2-patched.txz
tar xf linux-6.1.2-patched.txz
wget http://tinycorelinux.net/14.x/x86_64/release/src/kernel/config-6.1.2-tinycore64
cd linux-6.1.2
make mrproper
cp ../config-6.1.2-tinycore64 .config
make oldconfig
make prepare
make modules_prepare
So I did all of that and gets these bunch of files

You may also need this:
Code: [Select]

modules built: pxa2xx_spi, spi-pxa2xx-platform, spi-pxa2xx
The problem is I don't know what to do from here. No Idea. Sorry..
Can you guide me please?
-
After this step
cp ../config-6.1.2-tinycore64 .config
You can either edit the .config file and change the line that looks like
# CONFIG_KEYBOARD_APPLESPI is not set
to
CONFIG_KEYBOARD_APPLESPI=m
Be sure to check the dependencies. It is probably easier for you would be to run
make menuconfig
Then find the config options and set them to m. The reason to use menuconfig, is that it will automatically enable the needed dependencies for you.
-
And when in menuconfig program you can press "/" the slash key, to get search of the CONFIG that you want.
Enable it with "M" so you get a module, and you also get the dependency's checked in,
-
Thank you Paul_123 and patrikg
When I do make menuconfig and search for applespi,
it shows at search result but i can not find it at the said location.
Please see attached screenshots.

You can either edit the .config file and change the line that looks like
# CONFIG_KEYBOARD_APPLESPI is not set
to
CONFIG_KEYBOARD_APPLESPI=m
what i did was appended this line, because it's not originally in the .config
I also changed this
# CONFIG_SPI is not set
to
# CONFIG_SPI=m
but still can not find the checkbox.
Did i miss something??

Hi pek
Don't edit the config file manually. It's too easy to get it wrong.
Run these commands:
cd linux-6.1.2
make mrproper
cp ../config-6.1.2-tinycore64 .config
make oldconfig
make menuconfig
Then:
select Device Drivers
scroll down to SPI support and hit the y key
Hit Enter
scroll down to PXA2xx SSP SPI master and hit m
select Exit using the right arrow key and hit enter
scroll up 4 lines to Input device support and hit Enter
scroll down to Keyboards and hit Enter
scroll down 3 lines to Apple SPI keyboard and trackpad and hit m
If you are done, select Save using the right arrow key and hit enter enter enter
select Exit using the right arrow key and hit enter enter
-
Hi Rich, thanks for very comprehensive clarification.
I successfully did that. And proceed with
make prepare
make modules_prepare
Then I ended up with these bunch of files

Now you need “make”.

wow.. it took forever to finish :o
Now I have vmlinux file.
So, I just replace stock vmlinuz64 with this vmlinux and boot it up with grub, but i got this
error: invalid magic number
error: you have to load the kernel first
my grub entry is
menuentry "tinycore64 apple" {
linux /boot/vmlinux quiet
initrd /boot/corepure64.gz
}
Help please.. ::)
-
The file is called vmlinuz with a z at the end.
-
No, there's no vmlinuz file
ls vmlin*gave me
vmlinux
vmlinux.a
vmlinux.o

How about bzImage?
Note you will also need the new modules.

Hi pek
Try looking for bzImage in arch/x86/boot
Copy it to your boot directory and name it vmlinuz64Mac
Change the grub entry from vmlinux to vmlinuz64Mac

Hi Juanito and Rich
I found the bzimage and renamed it into vmlinuz64Mac and booted
menuentry "tinycore64 apple" {
linux /boot/vmlinuz64Mac quiet
initrd /boot/corepure64.gz
}It boots in successfully, but the keyboard and mouse still not working.
So, I searched for more "possible files" and tried adding vmlinux.bin.gz
menuentry "tinycore64 apple" {
linux /boot/vmlinuz64Mac quiet
initrd /boot/corepure64.gz /boot/vmlinux.bin.gz
}It boots into cli
Then I tried
menuentry "tinycore64 apple" {
linux /boot/vmlinuz64Mac quiet
initrd /boot/vmlinux.bin.gz
}It can not boot.. Kernel panic
I guess I'm not that smart to figure out things myself ;D
Help again pleasee..??

Hi pek
You left out this step:
... Note you will also need the new modules.
Let's create an extension. First create a destination to copy the modules to:
mkdir -p package/usr/local/lib/modules/6.1.2-tinycore64/kernel/drivers/MacBook
Copy the following files from your build directory to the destination:
drivers/input/keyboard/applespi.ko
drivers/spi/spi-pxa2xx-pci.ko
drivers/spi/spi-pxa2xx.ko
You'll need squashfs-tools.tcz:
tce-load -wil squashfs-tools.tcz
Now create the extension:
mksquashfs package MacBook.tcz -noappend
Copy MacBook.tcz to your tce/optional directory.
Add MacBook.tcz to your tce/onboot.lst file.
Go back to this configuration:
I found the bzimage and renamed it into vmlinuz64Mac and booted
menuentry "tinycore64 apple" {
linux /boot/vmlinuz64Mac quiet
initrd /boot/corepure64.gz
}It boots in successfully, but the keyboard and mouse still not working. ...
Reboot and see if it works.
If it doesn't, we need the results of lsmod and dmesg adain.
[EDIT]: Incorrect version number in path. Changed 5.15.10 to 6.1.2. Rich

Thanks Rich..
Yes I know, I must left out many steps ;D
Because I'm not entirely familiar with all the terms, like modules, prepare, config, make.. etc
But thanks to everyone's help and patients, I can gain more knowledge and experiences. :)
Now, back to business...
drivers/input/keyboard/applespi.ko
drivers/spi/spi-pxa2xx-pci.ko
drivers/spi/spi-pxa2xx.ko <--- this one is not there
drivers/spi/spi-pxa2xx-platform.ko <--- i found and used this one instead
Successfully made and load it as tcz.
However the keyboard and touchpad still not working.
So I removed "drivers/spi/spi-pxa2xx-platform.ko" remade and reload tcz.
But same result.
If it doesn't, we need the results of lsmod and dmesg adain.
Well.. I guess I need to wait until I have access to USB-C keyboard to find out exactly what output from Tinycore64.
If I boot from Archbang, and do lsmod and dmesg, possibly it gives different output?? (as posted earlier).
Meanwhile, I'm quite happy learning to compile kernel and creating module.
So in short, the module is actually the files with .ko extensions.
And the new kernel is bzimage.

You should be very happy and proud to create your own kernel and kernel modules.
Now you can take you Linux hat on, and say to your self that your are a Linux hacker and developer.
Happy hacking :)

;D ;D I'm still at a wannabe stage this time. Soo much more to learn..
Thanks for everything guys!! ;)

UPDATE..!!
I got it working..!! 8)
Apparently the path was wrong..
mkdir -p package/usr/local/lib/modules/5.15.10-tinycore64/kernel/drivers/MacBook
It supposed to be:
mkdir -p package/usr/local/lib/modules/6.1.2-tinycore64/kernel/drivers/MacBook
All good.. Keyboard & Touchpad now works on MBP.

thanks for letting us know what the problem was!

Hi pek
... Apparently the path was wrong.. ...
I copied the version number used in the path from the TC14 source
package I downloaded, or so I thought. Turns out I downloaded from
the TC13 repository by mistake.
Thank you for pointing out my error. Reply #34 has been updated to show
the correct path.
