00:01 _rmk 00:01 * _rmk_ puts some music on... this hotel's wonderful because the TV audio also comes out in the bathroom
00:04 flixh cbxbiker61: hm, it does not look like dm-mod is there
00:10 cbxbiker61 flixh, i just looked in the Modules archive, it's in there
00:11 cbxbiker61 make sure it pulls from release/2, also wouldn't hurt to rm -rf /lib/modules/3.11.6 before running UPDATE-KERNEL.sh
00:12 flixh strange, not after running UPDATE-KERNEL.sh in /lib/modules, trying
00:13 cbxbiker61 you could also "tar tf" the Modules archive to make sure there are no errors
00:15 flixh having rm'd the dir and running UPDATE-KERNEL.sh again it's still missing.
00:16 cbxbiker61 manually download the Modules archive and md5 from release/2 directory, maybe it's a minor glitch in my web server strategy
00:16 cbxbiker61 i have a cdn and that may be the problem
00:18 cbxbiker61 did you make sure to rm the *3.11.6* files, if you don't...it wont download the newer version
00:18 flixh i guess that was the problem, it's redownloading now
00:27 flixh thanks a lot, that seems to work now. need to sleep, bye
09:47 jnettlet found the offending patch causing the mmc instability
10:52 jnettlet rabeeh, pushed a fix for the sdhc card detection problems. the solidworks-imx6-3.10 kernel should now boot.
10:53 jnettlet DRI still seems flaky
10:53 jnettle 10:53 * jnettlet needs to work on other things for a while now
13:37 jnettlet dv_, otavio, trying to boot up yocto and am losing my serial console when X starts up.
13:37 jnettlet any idea what could be up with that?
14:45 dv__ jnettlet: huh? never saw that
14:46 jnettlet dv__, damn. was hoping it was some yocto thing
14:46 jnettlet I do have the yocto splash screen coming up on hdmi
14:46 jnettlet although ethernet is only sending packets out :-{
14:52 jnettlet Oh interesting it is definitely something with X
14:52 jnettlet booting to init3 gives me a console with working hdmi and keyboard
15:08 _rmk_ robclark: looks like armada drm does need a depends on ARM
15:08 _rmk_ _relaxed accessors
15:08 robclark ahh
15:08 robclark well, even if it depends on ARM, if it is able to not depend on ARMADA for compile tests that would be good enough
15:08 _rmk_ just generating a patch for that
15:09 robclark ie. if I can do one x86 and one arm build to test core changes, then I am a happy camper :-P
15:09 robclark (as opposed to N arm builds)
15:10 _rmk_ I'm thinking about just "depends on ARM"
15:10 _rmk_ since that's what the writel_relaxed needs
15:10 robclark yeah, that sounds like the right thing
15:13 _rmk_ top most commit of: http://ftp.arm.linux.org.uk/cgit/linux-cubox.git/log/?h=drm-tda998x-3.12-fixes
15:30 _rmk_ robclark: happy with that ^^^ ?
15:31 robclark _rmk_, yup
15:32 _rmk_ thanks, I'll send airlied either the patch or another pull for it
15:32 _rmk_ with your ack?
15:32 robclark _rmk_, sounds good
15:33 _rmk_ thanks
15:33 _rmk_ Acked-by: Rob Clark
15:33 _rmk_ ?
15:33 _rmk_ (that's from memory)
15:33 robclark _rmk_, d in there: [email protected]
15:34 _rmk_ ta.
15:34 robclark np
15:36 _rmk_ sent.
16:08 jnettlet okay unaccelerated HDMI via the framebuffer is running on the 3.10 kernel
16:08 jnettlet just need to figure out what is up with ethernet
16:13 dv_ damnit
16:13 dv_ what the hell is going on with my freenode connection
16:24 jnettlet what the hell is going on with the stupid ethernet driver on this stupid kernel
16:24 jnettle 16:24 * jnettlet thought we had this all worked out.
16:29 jnettlet dv_, have you tested gpu acceleration on the carrier-1 yet?
16:29 jnettlet wumpus, have you tested the gpu on the C1 yet?
16:30 jnettle 16:30 * jnettlet has to leave. just leave a message will be back in 45
16:31 dv_ jnettlet: I tried it with the EGL sink, which worked
16:34 wumpus jnettlet: yes
16:34 wumpus I've run the etnaviv demos, they worked
16:37 wumpus this was with the linux kernel from solidrun/linux-imx6
16:37 dv_ (my modified gstreamer EGL sink)
17:37 jnettlet dv_, wumpus_, okay thanks. with the 3.10 kernel I am just getting a hardware hang. Need to sort that out.
17:48 jnettlet okay have that sorted out. Now just need ethernet
17:58 wumpus jnettlet: what was the problem?
17:58 jnettlet wumpus, device-tree config. my fault.
17:58 wumpus okay
17:59 jnettlet although the Xorg driver doesn't draw properly.
17:59 jnettlet but that is fine. I can fix that.
17:59 wumpus hmm but that's a sw issue?
17:59 wumpus or the clock is wrong :)
18:00 jnettlet most likely a software issue as it isn't refreshing at all. Just random pieces.
21:45 jnettlet okay changes pushed for the 3.10 alpha kernel repo. still missing ethernet. It comes up and detects link properly but won't pass packets to save itself.
21:45 jnettlet other than that I think everything else is working.
21:48 dv__ well, the VPU and IPU stuff is missing. but thats obvious.
21:48 dv__ what about galcore and/or the DRM patches though?
21:50 jnettlet dv_, root@solidrunc1:~# dmesg | grep -i vpu
21:50 jnettlet mxc_vpu 2040000.vpu: VPU initialized
21:50 jnettlet root@solidrunc1:~# dmesg | grep -i ipu
21:50 jnettlet imx-ipuv3 2400000.ipu: IPU DMFC NORMAL mode: 1(0~1), 5B(4,5), 5F(6,7)
21:50 jnettlet imx-ipuv3 2400000.ipu: IPU DMFC DP HIGH RESOLUTION: 1(0,1), 5B(2~5), 5F(6,7)
21:51 dv_ oh? then where are the headers?
21:51 dv_ try to build imx-lib with your kernel headers
21:51 jnettlet dv_, all on github.
21:51 dv_ hmm .. right, I forget that this is based on the boundarydevices work
21:51 dv_ still, imx-lib didnt build with it
21:51 jnettlet dv_, nope I ported everything over to freescale's 3.10 kernel
21:52 dv_ okay. can you try to build imx-lib with it?
21:52 dv_ perhaps I missed something
21:53 jnettlet dv_, probably not right away. in the middle of making dinner :-)
21:53 dv_ k :)
22:01 jnettlet dv_, https://github.com/linux4kix/linux-imx6/tree/solidrun-imx_3.10.9_1.0.0_alpha can be built if you want to test yourself.
22:03 dv_ I already did
22:03 dv_ I built the kernel. but the imx-lib did not build with its headers.
22:08 dv_ otavio: was it you who told me that it is a better idea to use libfslvpuwrap instead of imx-lib ?
22:09 dv_ because the VPU parts of imx-lib will eventually get factored out into their own library?
22:09 otavio dv_: it has been; in 3.10.9
22:20 jnettlet well that might explain things
22:25 dv_ otavio: where is this new library ?
22:27 otavio dv_: imx-vpu
22:27 dv_ otavio: ah
22:27 otavio dv_: check master-next
22:27 dv_ I am tempted to rebase my plugins on top of that
22:28 dv_ the VPU wrapper has critical design mistakes
22:28 otavio dv_: The split has been also done for mx53; the 11.09.02 imx-vpu and imx-lib packages did the same.
22:28 dv_ can you explain me this strange versioning system?
22:28 dv_ 3.10.9 vs 11.09.02 ?
22:29 otavio dv_: I am not against it but as I said it'd be good to have a layer on top of this mess (using macros or so)
22:29 otavio dv_: it is a mess
22:29 otavio dv_: no logic
22:29 dv_ reminds me of a certain company called "vivante"
22:29 otavio dv_: they used the name it as release date
22:29 dv_ why is it so damn difficult to come up with a consistent versioning system?
22:29 otavio now as kernel version
22:29 dv_ its not rocket science
22:29 otavio agreed
22:30 dv_ otavio: the problem is that the layer on top of this mess is also a mess :)
22:31 otavio dv_: but it will be your own controlled mess
22:31 otavio dv_: which makes it doable
22:31 dv_ I mean the VPU wrapper
22:31 otavio dv_: you can define well defined api
22:31 otavio and make it to vpu internalls
22:32 dv_ the VPU wrapper's code is chaotic, full of #ifdefs , zero explanations..
22:32 dv_ which is why I am eyeing the imx-vpu library
22:33 dv_ using the VPU wrapper code as a reference for imx version specific details
22:34 dv_ I still wish pengutronix doesnt make my work obsolete though ... :/ although it does sound like their patches wont see the light of day in the near or midterm future. your opinion?
