| 00:52 | ptl | anyone has a kernel with device-mapper (thus LVM) support? |
| 00:52 | ptl | for ubuntu 12.10 |
| 00:52 | ptl | or... clear directions on how to compile a recent kernel with all the needed drivers for cubox to work properly? |
| 01:15 | ptl | no? |
| 01:18 | shesselba | rmk_: kirkwood spdif registers on DT, now comes the testing |
| 01:51 | shesselb | 01:51 * shesselba wonders what clk-gates should also be enabled for i2s1.. |
| 02:01 | shesselba | rmk_: it is not the clk gates but something different that locks up the cubox when using aplay .. I guess something is wrong with my DT stuff, will investigate later |
| 02:15 | shesselba | hmm, dco doesn't lock but all clocks are enabled.. |
| 05:50 | ralix | morning |
| 05:50 | dotarray | hello ralix! |
| 05:51 | dotarray | had a chance to play with your new cubox yet? |
| 05:51 | ralix | Good Morning dotarray! I installed Archlinux on my new Cubox :) |
| 05:52 | dotarray | fabulous! |
| 05:53 | dotarray | i'm just writing about archlinux for a new blog post, actually! |
| 05:53 | ralix | oh yes, i am so happy! |
| 05:53 | dotarray | did you use the CuBox installer, or go through all of the individual steps? |
| 05:54 | ralix | I use the installer, was very easy |
| 05:55 | dotarray | great news :D |
| 05:56 | ralix | I have a problem at the moment with the correct location for the advancedsettings.xml. I put the xbmc home to "/var/xbmc" because I problme with "/var/empty". I have installed xbmc-cubox-git. |
| 05:57 | dotarra | 05:57 * dotarray wonders if anyone is around to help |
| 05:58 | ralix | But I hope in the next few hours ;-) |
| 05:58 | dotarray | fingers crossed! |
| 05:58 | ralix | :) thx! |
| 05:59 | dotarray | i wish it was something i was more familiar with :) |
| 05:59 | dotarray | soon, maybe :D |
| 06:01 | ralix | No problem, have already received very good help here. I can practice my English with some nice conversations with you. |
| 06:02 | dotarray | i don't think i ever caught up with you after you went to the football the other weekend. did your team win? |
| 06:04 | ralix | Unfortunately lost the last game, but I have hope for the next weekend. But this is here at home :) No hour journey to nowhere location. |
| 06:06 | dotarray | oh good :) |
| 06:07 | ralix | oh yes :) |
| 06:08 | dotarray | which team is it, by the way? |
| 06:12 | ralix | Babelsberg 03 (14.) vs. Münster (06.) |
| 06:19 | ralix | I love coffe at morning :) |
| 06:27 | dotarray | i love tea all the time! :) |
| 06:27 | dotarray | sorry, distracted by this archlinux stuff :) |
| 06:32 | ralix | I just hope rabeeh, N30N or ... it can help me today :) |
| 06:33 | dotarray | i'm crossing my fingers for you! |
| 06:35 | ralix | It's so cold here. I can not wait 2 weeks I'm in Jakarta. Then it's finally warm again. |
| 06:35 | ralix | thx thx thx ! |
| 06:37 | dotarray | ah, yes, jakarta would definitely be warm :) |
| 06:38 | ralix | oh yes :) |
| 06:38 | ralix | 3 weeks |
| 06:40 | ralix | Now quick shower and then to work. I'm back in 1 hour. |
| 06:40 | dotarray | have fun! |
| 06:41 | ralix | thx ;-) |
| 08:06 | ralix | morning again |
| 09:04 | ralix | dotarray, A tip for your Arch Linux article. If you want to reduce the CPU load at idle you have to make three adjustments in the advancedsettings.xml. |
| 09:04 | ralix | vi .xbmc/userdata/advancedsettings.xml |
| 09:04 | ralix | |
| 09:04 | ralix | |
| 09:04 | ralix | |
| 09:04 | ralix | 3 |
| 09:04 | ralix | 0 |
| 09:04 | ralix | |
| 09:04 | ralix | |
| 09:04 | ralix | false |
| 09:04 | ralix | |
| 09:04 | ralix | |
| 09:04 | ralix | I just have to find the right location for the advancedsettings.xml;-) |
| 09:05 | jnettlet | ralix, is the XBMC UI using GLESv2 for rendering? |
| 09:06 | ralix | i hope so, i use the latest archlinux snapshot und xbmc-cubox-git from portage |

| 10:05 | jnettlet | ralix, yeah, thanks |
| 10:05 | ralix | ok |
| 10:06 | ralix | I hope it comes soon one can help me with my problem-;-) |
| 10:25 | Punkley_Chillin | look at me using the installer to build the ubuntu 12.10 image I built :) |
| 10:30 | jnettlet | Punkley_Chillin, did you get the graphics driver compiled and working? |
| 10:30 | Punkley_Chillin | just trying that now actually |
| 10:31 | Punkley_Chillin | compiled yes |
| 10:31 | Punkley_Chillin | rebooted and the box didn't come back |
| 10:31 | Punkley_Chillin | so im doing a clean install |
| 10:31 | jnettlet | okay...the graphics driver shouldn't be effecting that. Maybe no display but everything else should work. |
| 10:31 | N30N | ralix: advancedsettings.xml gose in the userdata folder, so for you that'll be /var/xbmc/.xbmc/userdata/ |
| 10:31 | Punkley_Chillin | apt-get install ubuntu-desktop |
| 10:32 | N30N | ralix: In my testing algorithmdirtyregions didn't seem to help improve performance. |
| 10:33 | Punkley_Chillin | i do have some kind of a kernel issue as booting up I still don't have a fb |
| 10:34 | N30N | ralix: make sure you enable the vmeta-clk@667 service. |
| 10:34 | ralix | So it is in the right place. Unfortunately the RssFeed still runs. |

| 10:34 | ralix | [root@alarmcubox userdata]# |
| 10:35 | ralix | Ok but the RssFeed helps;-) |
| 10:36 | N30N | I think there's a gui option in the skin setting to turn off RSS. |
| 10:43 | ralix | I did that on my x86 with GeeXboX / ubuntu way and it worked. |
| 10:44 | ralix | I look at times where you have to write in the otherwise might / should. |

| 11:53 | rmk | 11:53 * rmk_ wonders if Rabeeh saw my question about vmeta power/clk control |
| 11:53 | rmk_ | Rabeeh: what's the story behind your 'hack' comments in vmeta.c ? |
| 12:03 | jnettlet | rmk_, are on vacation or something? |
| 12:10 | rmk_ | jnettlet: more grammar required to understand that sentence :) who is the subject of that question? |
| 12:12 | jnettlet | rmk_, sorry my wireless keyboard is low on juice...I need to go and get more batteries |
| 12:12 | jnettlet | if I type to fast I lose words |
| 12:12 | jnettlet | are you on vacation? |
| 12:12 | rmk_ | no :) |
| 12:12 | jnettlet | ah okay...just busy got it |
| 12:13 | rmk_ | why do you ask? |
| 12:13 | jnettlet | you have just gotten very into this recently. figured it was your vacation project |
| 12:14 | rmk_ | umm... "recently"... not really, it's been something I've been playing with since July. |
| 12:14 | rmk_ | which is why I'm currently at 190 odd commits for the kernel alone |
| 12:17 | jnettlet | excellent. |
| 12:17 | rmk_ | I started hacking on it because what was supplied on the initial install was diabolical; tried on two TVs and one HDMI monitor and none of them would recognise the output from the cubox if they were powered on when the cubox booted. |
| 12:17 | rmk_ | what I found in once case was I had to boot the cubox with HDMI disconnected, let it fully boot, and then plug the monitor in. |
| 12:18 | rmk_ | I decided that this was utter crap, and that's when I decided I'd convert both the kernel and X server to DRM. |
| 12:18 | rmk_ | because DRM can handle hotplugged monitors correctly |
| 12:20 | rmk_ | and it rather snowballed from there |
| 12:25 | jnettlet | I am surprised you are still using the bmm driver |
| 12:26 | rmk_ | well, vmeta requires contiguous chunks of memory, and nothing else in my system hands out contiguous chunks of memory anymore |
| 12:26 | rmk_ | all my X pixmaps are SHM-backed |
| 12:26 | rmk_ | except for the scanout buffers |
| 12:27 | jnettlet | how does galcore like that? it wants its memory mapped as uncached |
| 12:27 | rmk_ | err, no it doesn't |
| 12:28 | rmk_ | galcore gets on just fine; it has its own MMU, and if you deal with it sensibly it doesn't matter if its cached or not |
| 12:29 | jnettlet | I was having all sorts of corruption if the memory allocated it for drawing wasn't coherent |
| 12:30 | rmk_ | that's because you need to track the ownership of pixmaps |
| 12:30 | rmk_ | and keep them owned as much as possible by the GPU (iow, do as much on the GPU as possible) |
| 12:31 | rmk_ | its also very very probable that you're hitting bugs in the galcore kernel layer; it's ability to wait for operations to complete is... broken. |
| 12:31 | jnettlet | yeah I started with that but found that performance was too slow. I would be curious how fast a default gtkperf runs under your setup. |
| 12:32 | jnettlet | rmk_, yes I know that very well |
| 12:33 | rmk_ | I'd run it now, but vlc is paused on the cubox since last night atm :) (and that means vlc is repeatedly sending the same video frame via Xv) so it won't give correct results |
| 15:42 | rmk_ | hmm, I think I need to push the sdhci changes into mainline too |
| 17:53 | rmk_ | Andrew Lunn has just confirmed to me that Marvell have confirmed my "no race free way to clear interrupts" issue |
| 17:57 | jnettlet | rmk_, I missed that episode. Which interrupts can't be cleared? |
| 17:57 | rmk_ | umm. wrong way round. they can be cleared, even ones you didn't know were pending. |
| 17:58 | rmk_ | http://lists.arm.linux.org.uk/lurker/message/20121118.162944.a6dd4b4b.en.html |
| 17:59 | rmk_ | that patch is heading for the stable kernel trees too now |
| 21:08 | Punkley_Chillin | quietly screens to to world, so close |
| 21:18 | shesselba | rmk_: the reason why my DT enabled i2s fails is, because I also registered kirkwood-dma on the same pdev (as in tegra30_i2s) |
| 21:18 | shesselba | and that overwrites the dai private_data with pcm private_data |
| 21:18 | shesselba | So all bugs introduced by me.. I |
| 21:19 | rmk_ | ok, so nothing to worry about as far as those patches go |
| 21:19 | shesselba | nope |
| 21:20 | shesselba | OTOH this makes me think how to register kirkwood-dma on DT. It is not a device as i2s is.. |
| 21:20 | rmk_ | that's the big silly problem of asoc :( |
| 21:21 | rmk_ | asoc's structure forces a non-hardware on everything, which is wrong. |
| 21:21 | shesselba | yeah, I put spdif-tranceiver within the "simple-bus" node.. just to have it parsed by someone |
| 21:22 | rmk_ | these things like dma drivers and i2s interface drivers should all be libraries which the 'soc' stuff (like kirkwood-spdif) uses |
| 21:22 | rmk_ | but that introduces one issue: there's some i2s interfaces which are entirely separate from their dma backends... |
| 21:23 | rmk_ | but if you start out as having all these mini-drivers as libraries in the first place, you can stitch them together whatever way you need |
| 21:23 | shesselba | yeah, I ll find another way to store dma private_data somewhere |
| 21:25 | rmk_ | I'll see about chucking out the sdhci changes in the next day or so; it won't be DT because Rabeeh's kernel + v3.6 isn't DT for dove. |
| 21:27 | rmk_ | hmm, except the driver has been DT-ized since v3.6 |
| 21:31 | shesselba | sdhci is on DT |
| 21:35 | rmk_ | just converting it over to also support DT |
| 21:36 | rmk_ | if you have a DT based setup on the cubox, can you test this patch? |
| 21:36 | shesselba | yes |
| 21:36 | shesselba | but there is already a of_device_id table for sdhci-dove |
| 21:37 | rmk_ | yes, just missing the gpio cd stuff |
| 21:37 | shesselba | great! I have the rev1 with gpio cd bug ;) |
| 21:37 | shesselba | sdio0 cd routing bug |
| 21:40 | rmk_ | now, this will currently support both DT and the legacy method... |
| 21:40 | rmk_ | http://www.home.arm.linux.org.uk/~rmk/cubox/sdhci.diff |
| 21:40 | rmk_ | I haven't run that myself yet, so... |
| 21:40 | rmk_ | but it does build |
| 21:41 | rmk_ | and getting rid of the legacy stuff is fairly trivial |
| 21:41 | rmk_ | and before it gets submitted I'll move that damned gpio.h include :) |
| 21:42 | rmk_ | like that... there, includes sorted alphabetically |
| 21:43 | rmk_ | is this just for fixing that rev1 bug then? |
| 21:45 | shesselba | yes, it allows to overwrite present bit with the value of the gpio that also has sdio1 cd.. |
| 21:51 | shesselba | hmm, I guess polarity should be also configurable.. |
| 21:51 | rmk | 21:51 * rmk_ has no idea what revision my cubox is |
| 21:53 | rmk_ | note that many of these sdhci platform support modules are broken |
| 21:54 | rmk_ | they're all making the same old mistake: they publish the device to the world and then do the setup |
| 21:54 | shesselba | yeah, that was my mistake you already fixed ;) |
| 21:54 | rmk_ | we covered that in the very first few kernel summits |
| 21:55 | rmk_ | and here we are in 2012 and almost all the sdhci stuff make that mistake because sdhci bringup didn't propagate my two-stage initialization stuff |
| 21:56 | rmk | 21:56 * rmk_ didn't create the two stage mmc_alloc_host...mmc_add_host just for kicks 8/ |
| 21:57 | rmk_ | sdhci_pltfm_register really needs to die. |
| 22:01 | shesselba | hmm, if DT gpio is wrong, i.e. returns <0, sdhci_dove_readl panics |
| 22:02 | rmk_ | why is your gpio_is_valid() returning true for gpio numbers < 0 ? |
| 22:02 | shesselba | DT gpio-mvebu |
| 22:02 | shesselba | maybe |
| 22:03 | rmk_ | static inline bool gpio_is_valid(int number) |
| 22:03 | rmk_ | { |
| 22:03 | rmk_ | return number >= 0 && number < ARCH_NR_GPIOS; |
| 22:03 | rmk_ | } |
| 22:03 | rmk_ | is the asm-generic definition of that |
| 22:04 | rmk_ | which, afaics, should be the one in use for dove |
| 22:06 | shesselba | it also fails if gpio is correct (12) and valid |
| 22:06 | rmk_ | send oops :) |
| 22:07 | shesselba | http://pastebin.com/DXVNpe1t |
| 22:08 | rmk_ | argh. fsck. you've hit what I was talking about above. |
| 22:08 | rmk_ | sdhci-pltfm needs to be fixed for this to work |
| 22:09 | shesselba | hmm, host and host->ioaddr seem to be correct at least |
| 22:09 | rmk_ | oh, it _can_ be fixed already |
| 22:09 | rmk_ | expect a new patch shortly |
| 22:17 | rmk_ | new patch there; I've redone the probing entirely |
| 22:18 | shesselba | same uri? |
| 22:18 | rmk_ | yep |
| 22:19 | rmk | 22:19 * rmk_ changes his nick to his old linuxnet nick, as my present nick appears to be taken here :( |
| 22:22 | _rmk | 22:22 * _rmk_ chuckles at the IET's latest publication... this month on climate change. |
| 22:23 | shesselba | _rmk_: it boots without oops, you want me to pull the card? it's my rootfs ;) |
| 22:23 | _rmk_ | whatever makes you feel happy that you've tested it sufficiently :) |
| 22:25 | _rmk_ | (if you haven't heard, people are being flooded out of their homes for the third time since August... again, another year of uk floods) |
| 22:29 | shesselba | http://pastebin.com/LjUJGwS2 |
| 22:29 | shesselba | boot without usd |
| 22:29 | shesselba | oops |
| 22:30 | shesselba | could also be related with gpio-mvebu |
| 22:31 | _rmk_ | usd? |
| 22:32 | shesselba | micro (u) sd |
| 22:32 | shesselba | but I remeber that gpio-mvebu is now irq controller itself |
| 22:33 | _rmk | 22:33 * _rmk_ wonders... |
| 22:33 | _rmk_ | so, the tasklet is only initialized in sdhci_add_host, not in sdhci_alloc_host |
| 22:34 | _rmk_ | that makes it unsafe to register the irq before sdhci_add_host :( |
| 22:34 | shesselba | but why does it work with usd plugged in? |
| 22:34 | _rmk_ | it probably doesn't trigger an irq immediately upon request in that circumstance |
| 22:36 | shesselba | if I pull out the usd after sdhci, it detects removal and insertion correctly |
| 22:37 | shesselba | yeah, but without usd the oops is back |
| 22:38 | _rmk_ | whoa, tegra's sdhci cleanup doesn't look good |
| 22:40 | _rmk_ | maybe third time lucky |
| 22:41 | _rmk_ | new patch at same url |
| 22:44 | shesselba | testing in a second, about kirkwood-dma: ok to put prdata into kirkwood-i2s priv data? |
| 22:44 | shesselba | that is sitting in snd_soc_platform_get_drvdata() when I register dma within i2s |
| 22:44 | shesselba | to avoid DT node for dma |
| 22:45 | _rmk_ | for now, I think so; I think the longer term solution would be to integrate the two together properly |
| 22:48 | shesselba | sdhci without usd still panics |
| 22:49 | _rmk_ | in the same way? |
| 22:49 | _rmk_ | argh, sorry |
| 22:49 | shesselba | yes |
| 22:50 | _rmk_ | guess who copied the patch file to the web server _before_ creating the replacement patch |
| 22:50 | _rmk_ | the right one's there now. sorry about that. |
| 22:50 | shesselba | \me wasn't ;) |
| 22:50 | shesselb | 22:50 * shesselba of course |
| 22:55 | shesselba | guess what :) |
| 22:55 | shesselba | without usd it does boot and wait for rootfs.. I plug the usd in and it gets recognized and mounted :) |
| 22:56 | _rmk_ | yay, success. |
| 22:57 | shesselba | and dco locks again (or I should better say, kirkwood-dma doesn't f*cks up priv->io and kirkwood-i2s now looks up the correct register) |
| 22:58 | shesselba | aplay /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav runs through.. now I need to carry my cubox to my audio receiver |
| 23:05 | shesselba | 2ch pcm works |
| 23:08 | shesselba | ac3 passthough too |
| 23:14 | _rmk_ | yay! |
| 23:15 | shesselba | looking for my dts sample.. |
| 23:17 | shesselba | mplayer -ao alsa:device=iec958 -novideo -ac hwdts -aid 0 dts-starts-later-than-ac3.m2ts |

| 23:17 | shesselba | Opening audio decoder: [hwac3] AC3/DTS pass-through S/PDIF |
| 23:17 | shesselba | hwac3: switched to DTS, 1536000 bps, 48000 Hz |
| 23:17 | shesselba | AUDIO: 48000 Hz, 2 ch, ac3le, 1536.0 kbit/100.00% (ratio: 192000->192000) |
| 23:17 | shesselba | Selected audio codec: [hwdts] afm: hwac3 (DTS through S/PDIF) |
| 23:18 | shesselb | 23:18 * shesselba listens to DTS over SPDIF on cubox ;) |
| 23:27 | shesselb | 23:27 * shesselba didn't even know his audio receiver can play back DTS-HD HR 7.1 |
| 23:27 | shesselba | _rmk_: great work on kirkwood-i2s :) |
| 23:54 | shesselba | wondering if 5% cpu of mplayer playing truehd sample can only be passthrough.. unfortunately my receiver doesn't tell me the audio format |
