10:36 RandomPixels sh231 packages can be updated.
10:36 RandomPixels 168 updates are security updates.
10:36 RandomPixels New release 'precise' available.
10:36 RandomPixels Run 'do-release-upgrade' to upgrade to it.
10:36 RandomPixels should I ? :)
10:37 shesselba _rmk_: with "clk stuff is messed up" you mean with or without DT?
10:39 _rmk_ without; I found the problem - tclk was missing
10:40 _rmk_ so the clk_get_sys() in Rabeeh's tree was returning ENOENT
10:41 _rmk_ would have been nicer if whoever added that clk_get_sys() also added some reasonable error handling and maybe provided a default clock rate for the UARTs
10:41 _rmk_ rather than just crashing the kernel
10:41 _rmk_ I call that kind of programming lazyitis
10:43 _rmk_ I'm not sure why those tclk changes were even made in Rabeeh's tree
10:44 shesselba I guess you should blame me for that (again!) .. sorry, it looks like there is no one testing on dove except me..
10:44 shesselba I ve been on DT for a while now
10:48 _rmk_ I've not yet tried video playback but everything else seems to work on 3.7-rc7
10:50 _rmk_ once, of course, all the yucky merge issues are fixed properly :)
10:50 shesselba Great! BTW I ve pushed a dove patch set to u-boot mainline
10:56 _rmk_ what I may do for my v3.7 kernel is start over; just use rabeeh's tree as a reference and import the missing stuff as entirely 'new' stuff and keep the 'import' at the head of the tree (so all work goes below that)
10:56 _rmk_ that should mean I'm no longer having to maintain two sets of patches in parallel all the time
10:57 _rmk_ one set against mainline and one set against my 'cubox' kernel
11:00 shesselba so what's on your list (except galcore/vmeta/hdmi) I can help with?
11:03 _rmk_ is the si5351 clk support queued for this merge window?
11:03 shesselba no, but that is on my list
11:04 shesselba basically , it needs two things added: regmap and DT
11:04 _rmk_ ok, there's also the i2c driver...
11:04 _rmk_ drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-mv64xxx.c
11:04 _rmk_ it uses interruptible sleeps...
11:05 _rmk_ that's fine if you can recover from a signal and return to complete the action, but in the i2c driver you can't
11:05 _rmk_ so, if the HDMI code is talking to the TDA chip, and a signal becomes pending, your I2C transaction aborts never to be restarted
11:05 shesselba uhh, mv64xxx is ppc guys.. they already stalled gbe driver conversion ;)
11:07 _rmk_ I need to finish off working out how to split my bmm and vmeta kernel changes so I can publish something there to go along with the library git trees I've already pushed out
11:08 _rmk_ the problem there is that they're invasive into arch/arm/mach-dove code
11:08 shesselba well, si5351 is my code anyway. I already have a request for it and I will add regmap and DT..
11:09 shesselba What are they changing there?
11:09 _rmk_ oh, its all the platform device, resources, clocks and the memory reservation (which I do properly in my tree)
11:10 _rmk_ I'm not sure why Rabeeh isn't using arm_memblock_reserve()
11:10 _rmk_ but instead moved the ->fixup hook and manipulates the memory information directly
11:11 _rmk_ I sent Rabeeh patches for that, but he ignored them :(
11:11 _rmk_ anyway, bbiab.
12:40 _rmk 12:40 * _rmk_ notices something else that needs killing - bmm_get_kern_paddr() in userspace and the corresponding code in kernel space (thankfully it seems unused)
22:41 dv_ has anybody here tried to boot from NFS? I get an "Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,255)" error
22:41 dv_ using archlinuxarm, latest rootfs
23:05 dv_ ah nevermind. the alarm kernel doesnt have nfs fs linked in
23:12 hybridvs Greetings
23:15 hybridvs I just got my CuBox unpacked and have a little problem. I plugged the box to my swich , activated dhcp into it , and powered the cubox. The switch is blinking and the line indicator shows 1gb full duplex connection , but shows no ip in the dhcp range being used. Do i need to do something else apart from power it up ?
23:27 dotarray evening rabeeh :)
23:28 Punkley_Chillin generally you shouldn't, do u have ubuntu desktop up?
23:29 Punkley_Chillin if you do try "sudo dhclient eth0"
23:29 Punkley_Chillin if not replace the network cable and try again
23:40 hybridvs Punk-ley , the cable i know is working, the dhcp is in the swich wich acts as a router too
23:41 Punkley_Chillin try sudo dhclient eth0
23:44 hybridvs sorry , i may have explained myself poorly. I was monitoring my router/swich thru the web interface , to see if the Cubox is accessing the network , and while the cubox is with its red led on , and the swich web interface marks the port as ok , and with the line at 1000/full duplex , dhcp active with range 192.168.0.20/192.168.0.50 , cubox isn't taking any of this offered ip's , so i cannot ping
23:44 hybridvs nor of course telnet to the box
23:45 hybridvs i have not a micro-usb cable to try the serial console facility yet , i'll get it next week
23:56 dv_ yay, all marvell plugins work again
23:56 dv_ (gstreamer plugins)
