Out of curiosity, what happens if you boot the IOP without those modules (the DAEMON and LED, if I am not mistaken)? |
LED calls the blue led command directly (because arcade CDVDMAN has the export for that stubbed) And DAEMON just calls mcdetectcard2 from DONGLEMAN once per minute |
|
I see. So if you hypothetically booted the IOP without DAEMON by specifying your own IOPBTCONF file, the System 246 will not be shut down? |
Actually, DAEMON and LED are commented on the IOPBTCONF According to krHACKen. SYSCON watchdog sets a timer. when consumed, a console poweroff is performed. And the blue led control Mechacon ncmd is the key to reset the watchdog timer |
|
closing because krHACKen confirmed this is not helping to solve the issue.
I dont know, but somewhere, a command is issued to the MECHACON so it resets the SYSCON arcade watchdog. An alternative is still needed. since data access from mc0 is unsafe while DAEMON is running. wich is pretty odd, since DONGLEMAN has an additional semaphore for this it seems (see references to the string |

I used the wrong mecha command. |
untested yet. awaiting confirmation on real hardware
did some tests on emulator, the cmd is called once per minute
