IRC log of #cubox of Tue 26 Nov 2013. All times are in CET < Back to index

00:41 _rmk 00:41 * _rmk_ has cpufreq scaling working in mainline... I don't see why it's missing, it seems to just be a bunch of entries in DT
11:23 jnettlet dv_, _rmk_, I haven't forgotten about you guys. Just trying to fit community stuff in between paid stuff.
12:02 dv_ jnettlet: no prob
14:48 jnettlet The one problem with ION not being mainstream is we don't adherence to the gold rule. "Don't break userspace"
14:48 jnettlet no wonder Android hasn't updated to the latest patchset :-(
14:50 dv_ how would ION break userspace?
14:51 jnettlet dv_, they changed how the filehandles are passed in and out.
14:51 jnettlet also with dmabuf integrated it seems to behave a little different
14:52 jnettlet I need to decide if I have to use that or can keep doing my abbreviated workflow.
14:53 jnettlet but looking around at the integrations I have found the samsung has already adopted a driver similar to mine for passing physical addresses back to userspace.
15:02 dv_ hmm alright
15:02 dv_ jnettlet: also, about the patch: can you point me to the ioctl for that? i didnt see it in linux/ipu.h
15:03 dv_ (the vsync patch)
15:03 jnettlet dv_, it is under driver/video/mxc/
15:04 dv_ you were referring to MX2FB_WAIT_FOR_VSYNC ?
15:04 jnettlet and exported under linux/mxcfb.h
15:05 jnettlet MXCFB_WAIT_FOR_VSYNC
15:05 dv_ ah yes
15:06 dv_ hmm this is a blocking call?
15:06 dv_ somehow I dont recall using ioctls in a blocking manner
15:06 dv_ but its been a while
15:07 dv_ ah, yes, apparently it is. alright, I will experiment with this. many thanks!
18:25 jnettlet _rmk_, almost have the ION stuff sorted out. After I pulled in the latest patches I realized that now user accessible stuff is passed around through dma-buff filedescriptors
19:28 jnettlet _rmk_, https://www.dropbox.com/s/ztb29zp3xk3pk6a/ion-patchset.tar.bz2
19:28 jnettlet pretty self contained so should apply to most anything > 3.4
19:29 jnettlet The userspace abstraction library that we use with vmeta is https://github.com/linux4kix/libphycontmem
19:29 jnettlet dv_, ^^ I know you have been waiting for that.
19:32 jnettlet you probably need our libvmeta as well. Let me liberate that to github.
20:35 unununium_ jnettlet: I have a "problem": Is it possible to change my Cubox-i order? A friend of mine wanted to order one as well, as so we could save shipping costs.
20:36 jnettlet unununium_, wrong guy I don't work for Solidrun :-) I think rabeeh suggested you should email [email protected]
20:36 unununium_ Ah, okay, thank you! :)
20:37 unununium_ And sorry, did not know that. ;)
20:38 jnettlet no problems
20:38 jnettlet good luck getting your order sorted out
20:38 jnettlet I doubt there will be any issues
20:38 unununium_ Would be good, but if not, she will have to order herself. ;)
20:39 jnettlet unununium_, what do you plan on running on it, if you don't mind me asking.
20:40 unununium_ I don't know yet... use it for tv, as a nas or something. :)
20:42 jnettlet sounds good
20:42 wolfy anyone know a proper hassle-free linux install kit for cubox-i ?
20:42 wolfy something able to display video streams
20:47 jnettlet wolfy, I don't think we are at the hassle-free part yet, that is why they are just developer units :-)
20:48 jnettlet we are working on pulling things together
20:48 wolfy jnettlet: any idea if mubox works on cubox-i ?
20:49 jnettlet wolfy, I think the dev working on that was on the channel the other day. I think he said he had it working but can't remember exactly.
20:50 jnettlet wolfy, yeah he has it working. The Google+ article. https://plus.google.com/107599474991673670139/posts/SfmeHExpQPK
20:51 wolfy cool. that's a huge plus from my point of view
20:51 jnettlet anything to keep you happy :-P
20:51 wolfy :)
21:52 dv_ jnettlet: excellent progress on ION
21:52 dv_ the userspace lib is exactly what I need
23:09 jnettlet dv_, good to hear. I will work on getting it published in some repos for our hardware. I think we are now touching all the major graphics/media buzzwords in the kernel. CMA, GEM, dma-buf, ION
23:09 jnettlet :-)
23:16 dv_ well, robclark's vivante drm is missing
23:20 robclark sorry, still digging myself out from under a pile of boards :-P
23:28 dv_ but other than that, true
