10:14 hste http://git.freescale.com/git/cgit.cgi/imx/linux-2.6-imx.git/?h=imx_3.10.17_1.0.0_beta
10:23 jnettlet great another code drop to merge and wade through. It would really help if they just did this all in a public branch. When will companies learn.
10:28 jnettlet looks like they haven't fixed any of the bugs I have patches for.
10:30 hste jnettlet: big diff on the vivante?
10:33 jnettlet nope they haven't done anything to the gpu code. Usually it is just code drops from Vivante that they merge.
10:34 hste jnettlet: it should be some duff. its version p13 from p12
10:35 jnettle 10:35 * jnettlet takes a deep breath as he attempts to merge his alpha branch into the new beta
10:35 jnettlet oh that was a complete and utter failure
10:35 hste maybe its mostly on userspace
10:36 jnettle 10:36 * jnettlet wonders if the alpha and beta branches are divergent
10:39 jnettlet yep, awesome way to not use git effectively
11:35 jnettlet 3.10.17_1 for the HummingBoard/Cubox-i is building
11:48 jnettlet and it hangs. guess there is some work to be done
15:39 hste jnettlet: how is the kernel work going?
16:22 jnettlet hste, slow. Freescale has definitely changed/broken something.
16:23 jnettlet working on going through their device-tree changes now to see if it is obvious
16:28 xraxor received my cubox-i TODAY :D now cnt wait to get home
16:28 jnettlet xraxor, run don't walk!
16:30 xraxor lol
16:30 xraxor i did run home in my lunch hour, and got 30min with it
16:31 xraxor posted on the forum what my first thoughts were.
16:43 dgilmore is there any patches out there adding dts files to the kernel for the cubox-i4pro ?
16:44 jnettlet dgilmore, yep _rmk_ has a series of patches accepted for mainline. I have a backported version for the freescale 3.10 based kernels
16:45 jnettlet working on sorting out the latest 3.10.17 beta kernel they just released
16:50 jnettlet hste: got the new kernel booting, but the vivante version has been bumped. Are the new binaries released also?
16:52 dgilmore jnettlet: okay, I'll search harder for them. I'm trying to get a dtb together and make a fedora image. I only use upstream kernels as shipped by fedora
16:53 jnettlet dgilmore, nothing shipped by fedora will work yet. _rmk_'s patches were accepted for 3.14 inclusion I believe.
16:54 jnettlet They can run on 3.12+ though
16:55 dgilmore jnettlet: we have 3.12 in f20 and 3.13 in rawhide
16:56 dgilmore all the patches ive found to date are for the carrier 1 only
16:56 jnettlet dgilmore, I believe _rmk_'s upstream device-tree patches rely on the imx kms driver in staging
16:57 dgilmore jnettlet: we have that enabled
16:57 dgilmore though there is no hdmi driver currently
16:57 jnettlet I believe patches have been submitted to fix that.
16:58 dgilmore right now i want to get the cubox's working the same as the wandboard is
16:58 jnettle 16:58 * jnettlet has no idea of the status for the wandboard
16:59 dgilmore it works headless out of the box in f20
16:59 dgilmore afaik the only thing not working is the missing hdmi driver
17:00 jnettlet okay, well the hdmi portion has been submitted and accepted
17:00 dgilmore so in an update it will work :)
17:00 dgilmore i just got my cubox-i quad pro yesterday
17:02 jnettlet I still have to order one. Been so busy with other things. Just finally getting SPL working for u-boot in a reasonable way.
17:03 dgilmore jnettlet: been meaning to look into that
17:03 dgilmore i maintain u-boot in fedora
17:03 dgilmore does it load the u-boot.img from ext filesystems?
17:04 jnettlet yeah, I have had that support in since I got things working under u-boot HEAD
17:04 dgilmore awesome, will have a look to porting it to omap
17:04 jnettlet omap has been ported to SPL
17:05 dgilmore we make seperate images in fedora with different filesystem layouts just to deal with needing a vfat partition for loading u-boot.img
17:05 jnettlet oh the ext booting? that is easy just a config option at this point and some changes to the loading script.
17:05 dgilmore ive been working on setting up distro generic configs in u-boot
17:06 dgilmore enabling u-boot's extlinux compatability
17:06 jnettlet is Fedora using a uEnv.txt to load variables or it's own boot script?
17:06 dgilmore we have a package that makes a default boot.scr
17:06 dgilmore but im porting everything to use a extlinux.conf config file
17:07 dgilmore you then get a menu with each installed kernel
17:07 jnettlet our default patches which have been accepted to mainline will find and load that first.
17:08 jnettlet actually that reminds me. We need to get the cubox-i support added, they have just accepted the hummingboard support
17:09 jnettlet dgilmore, what version of u-boot is fedora officially supporting?
17:09 dgilmore jnettlet: we have 2013.10 in fedora 20, im working on moving rawhide to 2014.01
17:10 dgilmore i try to follow upstream closely
17:10 dgilmore and get any patching i do in upstream
17:10 jnettlet that is what I am doing for cubox-i/hummingboard so should be easy to follow.
17:11 dgilmore awesome
17:11 dgilmore i dont see any sign of hummingbird in current git master upstream
17:11 jnettlet dgilmore, Favio is on holiday. He said he will merge it when he gets back.
17:12 dgilmore okay cool
17:12 jnettlet Just sent us updated patches to review mid last week
17:13 dgilmore to the upstream u-boot list ?
17:13 jnettlet nope to me and rabeeh
17:13 dgilmore okay
17:14 dgilmore i dont see any email from you to the upstream list
17:15 jnettlet favio grabbed my patches and is getting it merged.
17:16 dgilmore okay
17:36 hste jnettlet: I don't think the binary is released yet
18:17 MMlosh ...Oh.. I guess my Xserver on cubox1 is just to new to work with the solidrun-repo xserver-xorg-video-dove
18:17 MMlosh Which left me to a 1920x1080 vt console my monitor cannot handle
18:20 MMlosh The video output kinda-works, but the synchronization is randomly wrong
18:22 MMlosh What is currently the best kernel to migrate to? Is the new driver that goes to 3.13 a good choice?
19:39 jas-hacks_ dv_: hi, finally got a debian rootfs working with your plugin(s) and the old 0.10 plugins.
19:40 jas-hacks_ dv_: I think there may be a slow memory leak
19:43 jas-hacks_ dv_: ah ... just noticed your new commits
