IRC log of #cubox of Wed 11 Dec 2013. All times are in CET < Back to index

00:04 otavio dv_: this is the mirror
00:04 dv_ well I'll git fetch manually now
00:05 dv_ I've had some problems with kernel fetches in the past with oe/yocto in general
00:05 dv_ I wonder if it were possible to clone only specific branches. that should be the default.
00:16 dv_ otavio: either way , it is broken
00:58 jnettlet dv_, you can use the --single-branch flag with git clone to do that.
00:58 dv_ jnettlet: yeah, but OE doesnt use it
14:06 jnettlet Anyone else tested the glmark-es2 benchs on the IMX hardware?
14:06 jnettlet glmark2-es2
14:10 jnettlet I wish I had a reference. I am producing glmark2 scores close to what I see posted for the GC2000
14:10 jnettlet they shouldn't even be close.
14:11 jnettlet it could be due to differing resolutions.
14:19 jnettlet vivante GC880 (less than 1/4 of the GC2000 performances) can't wait to test the GC2000 with my changes.
14:24 dv 14:24 * dv_ wonders what the results would be with etnaviv
14:25 jnettlet wumpus, ping
14:26 wumpus pong
14:27 jnettlet hey, have you done any benchmarking of etnaviv using the latest vivante release from freescale?
14:27 wumpus not really
14:27 wumpus did they optimize the kernel driver?
14:28 jnettlet nope I did over the last few games.
14:28 jnettlet gtkperf was about a 25% improvement in 2d
14:29 jnettlet just started testing 3d and I am getting glmark2-es numbers that are close to what I am seeing posted for GC2000 chips.
14:29 wumpus nice :)
14:29 jnettlet and it is really just testing the GPU because CPU usage running glmark2-es is about 10% user 10% system
14:30 jnettlet my glmark2 fullscreen score is around 220
14:31 jnettlet although that could be the resolution. For some reason it is defaulting to 1024x768 instead of 720p need to figure out why
14:33 wumpus in any case, if there is still so much room for optimization in the kernel driver, I wonder what we could do with a proper drm driver
14:35 jnettlet I think there is still room for improvement. A lot of the problems were just lock contention trying to do powermanagement.
14:35 hste_ jnettlet: I can test it when I get home. on my gk802. On what resolution do u want me to test
14:36 jnettlet hste_, 640x480 and 720p if you could
14:36 jnettlet I guess 1080p numbers would be useful as well
14:37 ssvb jnettlet: are you testing gtkperf and glmark2-es2 on a marvell or imx hardware?
14:38 jnettlet ssvb, this is on imx right now, but I am bouncing between the two
14:38 hste_ jnettlet: Ihad about 330 on glmark2-es2 on 1080p on my gk802 running ubuntu with jas-hacks_ rootfs
14:38 jnettlet hste_, what is in the gk802?
14:38 jnettlet SOC I mean
14:39 hste_ jnettlet: its a imx6q dongle
14:39 jnettlet hste_, okay let me get 1080p running on this C1 then
14:41 jnettle 14:41 * jnettlet thinks the 32-bit 400mhz memory is going to be the bottleneck.
14:41 jnettlet will have to test with rabeeh's overclocking
14:44 hste_ jnettlet: If I get time this evening I'll test both c1 and gk802
14:44 jnettlet thanks
17:18 hste dv_: how is going with gstreamer-imx?
17:21 jnettlet hste_, are you running xbmc on any of your IMX6 devices?
17:22 hste jnettlet: yes just for testing
17:23 hste I use stephans rootfs on my gk802
17:23 jnettlet hste_, did you compile it yourself?
17:23 jnettlet ah okay.
17:23 rabeeh hste: which build are you using?
17:23 hste the latest from his blog
17:25 hste rabeeh: http://stende.no-ip.info/files/xbmc-image-wandboard-quad.tar.bz2
17:28 hste http://stephan-rafin.net/blog/2013/11/08/new-xbmc-yocto-image/
17:31 jnettlet hste_, so bumping to 1080p drops my glmark2 score down to 100 with cpu usage hovering around 30%
17:32 hste jnettlet: on gk802 i got 208 on glmark2-es2 and 184 on glmark2
17:32 jnettlet at 1080p?
17:32 hste yes
17:33 jnettlet then we are seeing a good performance boost if the GC2000 is 4x the 880
17:34 jnettlet glmark2 on the C1 is no where close because a lot of GLES->GL calls requires more CPU
17:34 hste :) but I guess in realworld it will be less
17:35 jnettlet I think 1080p on the IMX6 solo is a stretch but lets see what we can do
17:37 hste ok. got to go. I'll be back later.
17:37 jnettlet ttyl
17:39 jnettlet rabeeh, do you have an xbmc install that can run on an Ubuntu rootfs?
17:59 MarcusVinter Hey Rabeeh. Just a question about the C1 image you sent me. By default does it output on hdmi or serial?
18:00 MarcusVinter It was the Ubuntu 13.04 one.
18:29 rabeeh MarcusVinter: serial port and after booting you should see the hdmi
18:44 MarcusVinter Thanks rabeeh. And one more thing, we are expecting delays on the engineering sample due to the manufacturing delays. Are we looking at the middle of january still?
18:55 dv_ hste: currently I am focusing on the eglvivsink
18:56 dv_ its still that adapted eglglessink code, and could be considerably smaller and cleaner
19:49 rabeeh MarcusVinter: ofcourse not
19:49 rabeeh only who is ordering now might have some delay of the i2ultra model to mid Jan
19:49 rabeeh MarcusVinter left
20:46 hste jnettlet: found more code to fix?
20:56 jnettlet hste, nope just trying to get xbmc built on ubuntu to see how it runs. right now the benchmarks appear to be doing what they are supposed to and just testing the GPU.
20:56 jnettlet Even at 1080p I am not seeing more than 30% cpu usage when running glmark2-es
20:58 jnettlet overall it is not so bad. With xrender compositing enabled I am still getting 70% performance numbers from GLES benchmarks
20:59 jnettlet that can definitely be improved
22:05 jas-hacks_ dv_: Hi, tested again on 1.2 the videos play fine :)
22:06 dv_ nice! so 1.2 is a requirement
22:09 jas-hacks_ dv_: possibly, my resolution is 720p and videos are 720p but they seem to launch in smaller window
22:10 dv_ you are using the eglvivsink ?
22:17 jas-hacks_ dv_: I set 'video-sink=eglvivsink'
22:18 dv_ yeah, then the window frame will occupy screen space and therefore the video itself will be smaller
22:18 dv_ I am working on it
22:18 dv_ note though that typically applications embed the sink's window
22:19 jas-hacks_ dv_: wonder if it works from totem
22:19 dv_ I never tried it
22:20 jas-hacks_ Let me try, I'm testing on ubuntu 13.10
22:22 dv_ its also been a while since I tried out seeking
22:22 dv_ back then it worked though
22:32 jas-hacks_ totem reverts to sw decoding
22:46 dv_ jas-hacks_: hmm I'll build an image with totem and try it out myself
22:48 jas-hacks_ dv_: I can upload a rootfs if required
22:49 dv_ not needed - i can build it quickly here, I am anyway working at the eglvivsink atm, so building it will not block me
22:52 dv_ oh, nevermind. OE does not have recipes for totem.
22:52 dv_ so yes, upload please.
23:02 _rmk_ so, do we have the new name for the carrier-1 ?
23:28 _rmk_ okay, I think I'm just going to submit this stuff with it called "carrier-1" and be done with it
23:29 _rmk_ I'm assuming that the renaming of it isn't happening anymore; the last update appears to be 14 December, almost a month old now.
