| 01:38 | dbsx | Does anyone have a stable kernel config suitable for headless operation? I am totally confused about what crypto options to use in the kernel build |
| 01:47 | rabeeh | dbsx: what crypto options? |
| 01:47 | rabeeh | do you mean the cesa stuff? (security engine accelerations?) |
| 01:47 | dbsx | yes |
| 01:52 | dbsx | Is the any reason NOT to use mv_cesa? |
| 01:52 | dung | do you want to use vpn, bluetooth, wlan, nfs4, samba? |
| 01:53 | rabeeh | cesa stuff is quite complex. i haven't used it for a long time |
| 01:53 | dbsx | nfs3, ethernet, puppet-ethernet and maybe openvpn |
| 01:53 | rabeeh | but the main thing is that after getting the acceleration done in the kernel, you should be using the right stack to get user space stuff accelerated |
| 01:53 | dbsx | not using much |
| 01:54 | rabeeh | maybe my thoughts are outdated. |
| 01:54 | dbsx | pls explain more rabeeh |
| 01:54 | rabeeh | btw - cbxbiker61 from the #irc had cesa up and running few weeks ago |
| 01:55 | rabeeh | dbsx: the way i recall it is that cesa is the in-kernel stuff; and you need OCF in the kernel |
| 01:55 | rabeeh | but when using openssl package you need to build it to use cryptodev API (which then uses OCF that uses mv_cesa stuff) |
| 01:56 | dbsx | aha |
| 01:56 | rabeeh | which performance are you looking to achieve? |
| 01:57 | rabeeh | is it several Mbps? |
| 01:57 | rabeeh | or really the small numbers? |
| 01:58 | dbsx | I seek a stable kernel for a customer who needs to use it puppet. Only using ethernet. He also wants maximum RAM available |
| 01:58 | dbsx | for puppet |
| 01:59 | dbsx | running debiam armhf |
| 01:59 | dung | my kernel setup is a puppet - crypto disabled |
| 02:01 | dbsx | rabeeh, I dont have a specific number in mind. Just the faster the better. |
| 02:03 | dung | i'm trying to configure linux for an intel mac, i do not have any hardware specs yet |
| 02:06 | rabeeh | as i recall; if mv_cesa is being used correctly; you can achieve > 300Mbps |
| 02:06 | rabeeh | (on AES128 for example) |
| 02:06 | rabeeh | used correctly is meant that if you send large buffers (>1KB data) on each command |
| 02:07 | rabeeh | if you send small commands to the security engine (something like few tens of bytes on every command) then you won't see acceleration |
| 02:08 | dbsx | so should I just use bikers kernel? |
| 02:10 | rabeeh | yes. |
| 02:10 | rabeeh | and you can remove the hdmi stuff with make menuconfig |
| 02:10 | rabeeh | (bmm/vmeta/gc600/dovefb/gfx/audio) |
| 02:44 | dbsx | rabeeh, is there any point in leaving vmeta enabled (with a small amount of memory), so the vmeta is used as a clock source? |
| 10:00 | rabeeh | dbsx: you can completely disable vmeta. |
| 10:00 | rabeeh | vmeta is never used as a clock source |
| 10:01 | dbsx | ok |
| 10:02 | dbsx | I will email you my .config when this is stable |
| 10:03 | rabeeh | k |
| 11:30 | yaayaa | hi all. dovefb now works whithin archlinux. But I still can't figure out how to watch an full hd movie using hardware acc with gst-launch, totem or any other available video player. any hint ? |
| 11:37 | rabeeh | yaayaa: great |
| 11:38 | yaayaa | rabeeh: not that great actually... |
| 11:38 | rabeeh | performance wise? |
| 11:38 | rabeeh | stability? |
| 11:43 | yaayaa | well, it looks stable. Regarding performances, no test yet (appart from the HD video playing) which is really slow and jerky (I guess we have to recompile the video player to get them support dovefb) |
| 11:52 | buz | yaayaa: using gstreamer with the vmeta and bmm plugins I can play a 1080p h264 without any problems |
| 11:52 | buz | yaayaa: It even works with autoplugging |
| 11:55 | yaayaa | you installed them via pacman ? |
| 11:56 | buz | yaayaa: no, I don't use arch linux |
| 11:57 | buz | yaayaa: but it should run on every hardfp linux |
| 11:57 | yaayaa | ok. I installed vmeta, bmm and gstreamer stuff. You're using gst-launch ? |
| 11:58 | buz | the most basic cmdline to test it: gst-launch-0.10 filesrc location= ! qtdemux ! vmetadec ! bmmxvimagesink |
| 12:01 | yaayaa | buz: I get a vmetadec not found error |
| 12:01 | buz | rabeeh: some time ago I asked you about gc600 drivers with nativefb enabled. any news on that? |
| 12:02 | buz | yaayaa: you have to install the gst-plugins-marvell and gst-plugins-bmmxv plugins |
| 12:04 | yaayaa | no such packages available on cubox |
| 12:04 | yaayaa | for arch |
| 12:07 | buz | yaayaa: you'll find them in the huge packages.tar.gz file |
| 12:07 | buz | yaayaa: http://www.solid-run.com/mw/index.php/Downloads |
| 12:10 | yaayaa | ok , thanks. Bu since marvell-libvmeta and marvell-libbmm are installed as packages, I thought it was reddundant. my mistake. Thanks a lot |
| 12:11 | yaayaa | hope these binaries will work on archlinux |
| 12:13 | buz | yaayaa: the sources are included in the tar.gz. you should complile the packages yourself to make sure they're hardfp |
| 13:18 | yaayaa | buz: codecVC.h is missing, compilation failed |
| 13:23 | buz | yaayaa: you'll need the related -dev packages for marvell-libvmeta and marvell-libbmm |
| 13:23 | N30N | yaayaa: I got xbmc-pvr working with acceleration on Arch. Beening meaning to update the PKGBUILDs (pvr now merged upstream) but you can have a copy of if you want? |
| 13:24 | buz | yaayaa: but I have no clue about archlinux... |
| 13:24 | N30N | buz: Arch doesn't do dev packages. |
| 13:24 | buz | N30N: arch doesn't provide any header files??? |
| 13:24 | yaayaa | N30N: that would be great ! |
| 13:25 | N30N | buz: No it doesn't split them out. |
| 13:25 | N30N | yaayaa: ok give me a min to power up my cubox. ;) |
| 13:27 | dbsx | anyone know why mtd-utils in http://dl.dropbox.com/u/72661517/debian_packages/packages.tar.gz? or is it just for historical reasons? |
| 13:29 | N30N | yaayaa: Want the (compiled) package or just the PKGBUILDs? |
| 13:29 | yaayaa | PKGBUILDs will be fine |
| 13:29 | yaayaa | I use yaourt |
| 13:30 | yaayaa | to access aur |
| 13:37 | N30N | Here you go: https://gist.github.com/3736803 https://gist.github.com/3736809 |
| 13:39 | yaayaa | N30N: thank you so much :) |
| 13:43 | N30N | yaayaa: you prob wanna remove the "rm -rf .git" line, was added to make disk space to compile ;) |
| 13:53 | yaayaa | N30N: done. thanks |
| 14:23 | rabeeh | buz: the packages on the wiki contains directfb |
| 14:24 | rabeeh | please check them out. |
| 14:25 | rabeeh | buz: the vmeta with 1080p working for you - is it hardfp config? |
| 14:39 | buz | rabeeh: I already use gc 3184-1, but they don't contain support for the "nativefb" api described in sdk/include/nativefb.h. I think the build option would be BUILD_OPTION_EGL_API_FB=1 |
| 14:41 | buz | rabeeh: I don't have access to my build environment right now, but I think I'm using marvell-ipp and libvmeta from the packages.tar.gz on a hardfp yocto image |
| 16:48 | yaayaa | patching file configure.in |
| 16:48 | yaayaa | N30N: I got an error when using your PKGBUILD (xbmc one) |
| 16:49 | yaayaa | N30N: when applying patches, Hunk #1 FAILED at 1248 |
| 16:51 | yaayaa | N30N: you remember something special you had to do to prevent this ? |
| 17:20 | N30N | yaayaa: No, that'll be caused by upstream changes. My last build was against commit 2731cf649a |
| 17:27 | yaayaa | ok, I'll manually fix it then. thanks |
| 17:31 | yaayaa | N30N: lots of other errors occur due to trunk changes. Do you know how to force a the 2731cf649a commit with git in the pkgbuild ? (I'm not really familiar with git) |
| 17:35 | N30N | adding "git checkout 2731cf649a" after the git if statment should do it. |
| 17:44 | N30N | I must say I'm not 100% sure on that commit (as .git was removed during my last build). I'll be updating the PKGBUILD in the next day or two if you can wait / can't get it working. |
| 17:47 | yaayaa | N30N: I'm trying with your commit number ... |
| 17:53 | yaayaa | N30N: ok, I've put "git checkout 2731cf649a" just after the "else git clone ..." stuff in the pkgbuild |
| 17:53 | yaayaa | but I still have the patch error |
| 17:54 | N30N | same one? |
| 17:58 | yaayaa | N30N: my mistake. I did the git co command manually to check. there ware a conflict. I remove the involved files |
| 17:59 | yaayaa | N30N: then I did the co, modified the PKGBUILD to skip the git step |
| 17:59 | yaayaa | N30N: and .... it's currently patching. .... waiting for the result.... |
| 18:02 | yaayaa | While waiting... does the reboot work for you (achers) ? I need to unplug/replug the cubox to make it reboot. uboot pb or kernel ? |
| 18:03 | yaayaa | archers |
| 18:03 | yaayaa | N30N: if you're using archlinux, you may have the pb too ? |
| 18:14 | yaayaa | N30N: compilation takes a while. I have to go. Thanks a lot for your help. I'll take you informed. No reboot pb for you with arch kernel ? |
| 18:15 | N30N | I'm not using the Arch kernel. |
| 18:17 | yaayaa | N30N: and which one are you using |
| 18:17 | N30N | Using CuBox-v3.5.3 but can't reboot, I beleve it's fixed in CuBox-v3.5.3-Patched |
| 18:17 | yaayaa | mine is 3.5.0-2 |
| 18:18 | yaayaa | OK |
| 18:18 | yaayaa | so it's a kernel pb, not a uboot one |
| 18:20 | Cubox | rabeeh: :( |
| 18:25 | yaayaa | N30N: thanks again. See you soon |
| 18:25 | N30N | np, c u |
