IRC log of #cubox of Sun 25 Aug 2013. All times are in CEST < Back to index

07:16 jnettlet _rmk_, it took me quite a while to find a matte display. Although it seems like the option is slowly becoming more popular...again.
08:08 dbsx More questions from the kernel log.
08:08 dbsx hw-breakpoint: debug architecture 0x4 unsupported.
08:08 dbsx bio: create slab at 0
08:08 dbsx USB Power: Failed to request enable GPIO1: -517
08:08 dbsx reg-fixed-voltage 1.regulator: Failed to register regulator: -517
08:08 dbsx 3.11-rc6
08:20 jnettlet dbsx, are you trying to use stock 3.11-rc6?
08:30 dbsx There are a couple of selected patches from xilka 3.10.9 (zoneorder and mmc_flush) the rest are minor dts patches
08:31 dbsx I can paste my cubox/dove dts in pastebin
08:32 jnettlet sure I will take a look
08:32 dbsx 1 minute
08:37 dbsx http://pastebin.com/BHSK9xSr is dove-cubox
08:47 dbsx http://pastebin.com/mLvqRmZY is dove.dtsi
08:59 jnettlet dbsx, can you post the rest of your dmesg?
09:01 dbsx yes
09:05 dbsx http://pastebin.com/9bcYJVud
09:08 dbsx actually thats the console log
09:12 jnettlet is usb not working?
09:13 dbsx usb works
09:15 jnettlet okay then that error is nothing to worry about. It is just saying the GPIO probing is being deferred most likely because the pin-mapping hasn't come up yet.
09:16 jnettlet in your message log you can see that at line 94 the dove-pinctrl driver comes up and then later at line 155 the USB Power regulator comes up.
09:18 jnettlet I have seen some recent kernel work trying to queue the GPIO requests instead of deferring but it has run into problems
09:18 dbsx Ok that accounts for the power and voltage message. What about "hw-breakpoint: debug architecture 0x4 unsupported."
09:18 dbsx It seems to have always been in cubox kernels
09:22 jnettlet 0x4 is the debug architecture that uses memory-mapped registers. It has always been unreliable and is not considered supported
09:23 jnettlet Basically it is saying armv7 doesn't support hw watchpoints and breakpoints. Again nothing to worry about just an information message
09:24 dbsx Caused by CONFIG_HAVE_HW_BREAKPOINT=y ? make nconfig does not let me get rid of it
09:25 jnettlet yeah, that is because PTRACE requires it I believe
09:25 dbsx aha
09:27 dbsx Thank you for that, tis good to know the meaning of the messages.
09:27 dbsx Is it correct that with 3.11 we have no cubox sound?
09:28 jnettle 09:28 * jnettlet shrugs, haven't tested 3.11 yet :-)
09:29 dbsx thanks again
09:48 jnettlet ttyl
10:04 shesselba dbsx: cubox 3.11 DT has no sound, don't ask _rmk_ about it :P
10:14 dbsx traumatic eh?
10:59 _rmk_ dbsx: Mark Brown is refusing to acknowledge that the core ASoC code could be buggy
13:49 dbsx rmk, MB is from Marvell? (I have been watching a video on cubox)
13:52 _rmk_ no, he's the asoc maintainer
13:52 _rmk_ ... who seems to behave as though he knows almost nothing about asoc
13:53 dbsx Not a "humble" programmer?
13:54 _rmk_ I haven't yet decided what my next move will be; I'm considering emailing Linus giving him details of the bug and what the situation is with trying to get Mark to recognise the problem
13:54 Kiranos Please do
13:55 dbsx Sun Tzu said that you should always leave an adversary a line of retreat, unless you want to massacre everybody. Has he got a line of retreat?
13:56 dbsx if not give him one
13:57 _rmk_ I've given him many but he insists on just churning out the same story every time and refusing to acknowledge that there could be a bug here
13:58 _rmk_ I think the problem is that for that to happen, he has to confirm that Liam made a mistake with his code, and I suspect that's something he's not prepared to do
13:59 _rmk_ I'm talking to Liam off-list about this too, so I want to give Liam a chance
13:59 _rmk_ Liam is being a lot more reasonable :)
14:00 dbsx I have dealt with such situations poorly in the past (fix the bug and fire anyway who disagrees).
14:06 dbsx I am just getting back into testing 3.11-rc6 on cubox. Audio and video aside, it has been stable for me.
14:17 abort hey, I was wondering if anybody had a clue how to install linux-headers for the debian 3.6.9+ os for the cubox, as the usual apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r) does not do the job
14:24 dbsx abort, You can get a copy of them from xilka.com
14:26 abort thanks :)
14:26 abort i'll check that out
16:11 _rmk_ okay, Linus & Andrew mailed about this, complete with a patch I intend to put into linux-next which will provoke a WARN_ON() when the stream widgets get overwritten.
16:29 dv_ just noticed how nice the freescale IPU is
16:30 dv_ color space conversion, rescaling, deinterlacing etc. all in one operation, without using the CPU
21:32 _rmk 21:32 * _rmk_ wonders whether people use the textured Xv display mode
