| 00:01 | rabeeh | shesselba_: ping |
| 00:02 | shesselba | rabeeh: pong |
| 00:04 | rabeeh | any luck with the jtag stuff? |
| 00:04 | rabeeh | were u able to attach a debugger? do you have all the 12pin 6x2 50mil header? |
| 00:05 | shesselba | didn't try it |
| 00:06 | shesselba | i ll get a matching header first, and I guess is some more "magic" required to actually access anything useful through jtag |
| 00:06 | shesselba | i.e. non-standard protocol for peek/poke |
| 00:06 | rabeeh | should be straightforward; but you need a jtag that supports Dove |
| 00:06 | shesselba | yep |
| 00:07 | rabeeh | i got now a new debugger that willing to try |
| 00:07 | shesselba | that's what I meant with "magic" ;) |
| 00:07 | rabeeh | i have a 2GB DDR system now and trying to bring it up |
| 00:07 | shesselba | nice! larger rams available at market? |
| 00:07 | rabeeh | not yet. |
| 00:08 | rabeeh | i'm bringing it up right now. it consumes slightly more Idd current and want to benchmark it |
| 00:08 | rabeeh | Kossay wants to get it to the market. |
| 00:08 | shesselba | no, I mean you bought some larger chips that are available on dram market. |
| 00:08 | rabeeh | yes. |
| 00:08 | rabeeh | 4Gb |
| 00:09 | shesselba | have fun! =) |
| 00:09 | rabeeh | already |
| 00:09 | rabeeh | :) |
| 00:09 | rabeeh | i think 2GB is essential for native builds |
| 00:10 | shesselba | ok, jtag is not on my priority list. actually, I will try xmodem bootrom first. maybe, if I ever want to really use jtag I get back to you |
| 00:11 | rabeeh | i think this way is faster. |
| 00:11 | rabeeh | just look at the changes at start.s, and apply same patches from old u-boot to the .git and you should get first signs of life in few builds |
| 00:12 | rabeeh | once you get that, and hopefully Ethernet (from KW tree) then 'bubt' is your friend |
| 00:12 | rabeeh | bubt is burn u-boot from tftp |
| 00:13 | shesselba | I already have ported some stuff and it *should* work already but I ran out of time.. right now pinctrl driver and mainline integration are top on my list |
| 00:13 | shesselba | most drivers can be reused from KW |
| 00:14 | shesselba | IIRC, SATA is different |
| 00:18 | rabeeh | SATA is the same |
| 00:19 | rabeeh | SATA has two drivers; mvsata and a satamv :) |
| 00:19 | rabeeh | mvsata is a driver that was written to S |
| 00:19 | rabeeh | mvsata is a driver that was written to PCI-SATA controller way before libata was there. |
| 00:20 | shesselba | yeah, but on kw sata has 16b registers |
| 00:20 | rabeeh | and satamv is the libata driver that uses the Marvell ebu SATA controller |
| 00:20 | rabeeh | ? |
| 00:20 | rabeeh | 16bit registers? |
| 00:20 | shesselba | according to kernel's mv_sata.c IIRC |
| 00:21 | rabeeh | hmm... i will look for that. |
| 00:21 | rabeeh | but in any case, it's exactly the same hardware unit. |
| 00:21 | rabeeh | (i was one of the architects of the SATA unit in the Marvell Israel team) |
| 00:23 | rabeeh | oh; talking about eSata |
| 00:23 | shesselba | yeah, I guessed that already ;) I had a quick look at both DS and they look the same ;) |
| 00:23 | rabeeh | i need to push a patch that enhances the eye on CuBox eSata |
| 00:23 | shesselba | ok |
| 00:24 | shesselba | and about SATA: It was sdhci that is different, not SATA |
| 00:24 | rabeeh | yes. sdhci is different |
| 00:25 | shesselba | mvsdio vs sdhci-dove |
| 00:25 | shesselba | but writing a driver for u-boot should be easy |
| 00:26 | shesselba | and for DT: I have a dove kernel running under ARCH_MVEBU with all drivers except xor |
| 00:28 | rabeeh | wow |
| 00:28 | rabeeh | that fast. |
| 00:29 | rabeeh | how do you fake the DT stuff? |
| 00:29 | rabeeh | or did u patch the old u-boot with DT support? |
| 00:29 | shesselba | you can append the DT blob after the zImage |
| 00:29 | rabeeh | s/zImage/uImage? |
| 00:30 | shesselba | nope, zImage |
| 00:30 | shesselba | cat arch/arm/boot/zImage.orig arch/arm/boot/dove-cubox.dtb > arch/arm/boot/zImage |
| 00:30 | shesselba | and rebuild the uImage |
| 00:32 | rabeeh | ok |
| 00:33 | shesselba | but u-boot with DT on dove is also on my list as you know ;) |
| 01:40 | rabeeh | shesselba: i suggest you post your u-boot git tree on github and let people poke around. |
| 11:25 | yaayaa | hi. I run archlinux on cubox and reboot does not work. I need to unplug / replug the cubox to reboot. My system is on the sdcard. I guess it is related to uboot. Any hint ? |
| 11:44 | Thirsty_Away | yaayaa: I think it is the kernel. |
| 11:44 | Thirsty_Away | I use the standard U-Boot version from Solid-Run. |
| 11:45 | Thirsty_Away | No problem with my Debian HardFP with my own CuBox-v3.5.3-Patched kernel |
| 12:36 | yaayaa | Thirsty_Away: thanks. I'll investigate then. |
| 23:00 | avjui | hi |
| 23:03 | rabeeh | hi |
| 23:34 | avjui | hi rabeeh |
| 23:34 | avjui | do you know a status of openelec? |
| 23:38 | rabeeh | avjui: openelec work started by sraue few months ago, that uses xbmc frodo. |
| 23:39 | rabeeh | there were lots of issues with alsa audio discontuitiy issues that made playback stutter. |
| 23:39 | rabeeh | it wasn't clear if it's alsa kernel driver issue, or the xbmc audio engines issues (or maybe alsa specific) |
| 23:40 | rabeeh | there are very initial images, but they are not good enough to be published. |
| 23:41 | avjui | ok |
| 23:41 | rabeeh | audio discontinuity is a/v sync issues that causes xbmc to reset the playback pipe quite often, causing severe stuttering |
| 23:41 | avjui | is there any work in progress? |
| 23:42 | rabeeh | nop. it stopped by then and tomlohave ported geexbox that provides pretty good solution today. |
| 23:42 | avjui | yes geexbox run very nicly |
| 23:42 | rabeeh | the thing is that it's still not clear to me if it's CuBox related, or AE specific |
| 23:43 | avjui | have you become a answer from marvel (armhf driver) |
| 23:43 | avjui | ok |
| 23:43 | rabeeh | yes. the vmeta driver published on the wiki should be the latest one (with hardfp). |
| 23:44 | rabeeh | it's already hardfp but unfortunately not working. |
| 23:44 | rabeeh | i asked for the whole marvell-ipp package in hardfp format; still didn't get that. |
| 23:46 | avjui | By the way I have the problem that the cubox will hang always on "Uncompressing Linux... done, booting the kernel." must I reflash the uboot? |
| 23:47 | rabeeh | this problem is unrelated to u-boot |
| 23:47 | avjui | this is still I used the geexbox with cec but after reinstall a older version I have the same iusse |
| 23:47 | rabeeh | i'v seen lots of posts and they claim it's related to toolchain being used. |
| 23:48 | avjui | before I don´t have any problem I will test some other versions too |
| 23:48 | rabeeh | please try the original version |
| 23:49 | avjui | ok mom |
| 23:51 | avjui | it seems ok so I see the red light stop blinking |
| 23:52 | avjui | and say "Starting kernel ... " |
| 23:56 | rabeeh | if it's working it might be toolchain issue then |
| 23:56 | avjui | I will test some older Version and post my results thanks rabeeh |
| 23:58 | avjui | Have you tested the CEC function ? |
