| 06:04 | _dab_ | MikeSeth: I tried the jessie. Tis good. wifi looks good. Ethernet looks good. |
| 09:26 | MikeSet | 09:26 * MikeSeth pokes rabeeh |
| 09:35 | suihkulokki | building armada_drm on 3.13- |
| 09:35 | suihkulokki | rc7 fails |
| 09:35 | suihkulokki | http://paste.debian.net/75383/ |
| 09:36 | suihkulokki | DRM_KMS_FB_HELPER should be selected I guess ? |
| 09:49 | jnettlet | suihkulokki, yes |
| 09:50 | MikeSeth | jnettlet: would you happen to know what does the microusb port do on cubox-i1? |
| 09:51 | jnettlet | MikeSeth, it has one? |
| 09:51 | MikeSeth | unless I am imagining thing |
| 09:51 | MikeSeth | things |
| 09:51 | jnettlet | no idea. It isn't supposed to have a serial out. |
| 09:51 | MikeSeth | yeah, to the right of the card reader |
| 09:52 | jnettlet | question for rabeeh |
| 09:52 | suihkulokki | jnettlet: is that a bug or have I forgotten some menuconfig knob? |
| 09:53 | jnettlet | suihkulokki, I thought there was discussion about it and it was determined that it wasn't supposed to be needed because something else should require that |
| 09:53 | jnettlet | sorry I can't remember now off the top of my head |
| 12:55 | suihkulokki | jnettlet: got 3.13-rc7 booting, but no activity on display, and no sign of display messages in dmesg |
| 13:00 | suihkulokki | I guess I need to tell in the dts where the display is |
| 15:02 | jmontleo | jnettlet, I have the top USB, it was just missing kernel config parameters |
| 15:05 | jnettlet | jmontleo, okay good that is what works for me also. I still need to sort out the config options to get the second port working |
| 15:05 | jmontleo | suihkulokki, the 3.13-rc7 dts should be ok for HDMI. Have a look in arch/arm/configs/imx_v6_v7_defconfig for kernel parameters you may need to set. CONFIG_DRM_IMX_HDMI for instance |
| 15:08 | suihkulokki | jmontleo: for the original cubox with armada? |
| 15:08 | jmontleo | suihkulokki, ok, not sure; thought you meant cubox-i |
| 15:10 | jnettlet | yeah the two cubox versions is starting to get confusing at times |
| 15:15 | jmontleo | jnettlet, do you think wireless and bluetooth should be working or do they likely need more work in the dts first? |
| 15:17 | jnettlet | jmontleo, the should need device tree entries, but should work other than that. |
| 16:00 | suihkulokki | ok. no sign of device tree in drm/armada, so I guess it's not dtb but some video= parameter for the kernel command line? |
| 16:01 | _rmk_ | drm/armada unfortunately isn't DT capable yet |
| 16:03 | _rmk_ | that's mainly because drm doesn't fit the DT model, and the current solutions to that are nothing more than disgusting fragile hacks that break if you sneeze wrongly |
| 16:03 | _rmk_ | that's being sorted, but it's slow, and I have a nasty suspicion that the code to support it is going to miss the coming merge window |
| 16:09 | jnettlet | _rmk_, who is working on it? Seems to me that drm device-tree should exist much like common clock does. |
| 16:11 | lioka | suihkulokki: if you need it right now, there was patch from Sebastian Hesselbarth, back in May or something |
| 16:12 | lioka | suihkulokki: i've modifeid it slightly, http://ns.lioka.obninsk.ru/0001-DRM-Armada-add-DT-support.patch |
| 16:13 | lioka | suihkulokki: and it needs memory reservation, like mem=2032M |
| 16:13 | jnettlet | 2GB's of reservation? |
| 16:13 | jnettlet | the box only has 2GB's |
| 16:14 | jnettlet | if he has a pro |
| 16:14 | lioka | yes, thats for pro. |
| 16:14 | pixelead0 | hello |
| 16:14 | pixelead0 | im newbie |
| 16:14 | lioka | or mem=1008M for original cubox |
| 16:14 | jnettlet | hello newbie |
| 16:15 | pixelead0 | i can't boot my cubox-i 4 |
| 16:15 | jnettlet | lioka, u-boot should pass the memory layout into the kernel for device-tree |
| 16:15 | jnettlet | you just need to let the kernel parse ATAGS into the device-tree |
| 16:16 | pixelead0 | I followed the instructions |
| 16:16 | lioka | jnettlet: point is to hide top 16 megs |
| 16:16 | jnettlet | lioka, why? |
| 16:16 | _rmk_ | jnettlet: that's my component stuff which has currently had imx-drm converted over |
| 16:16 | lioka | jnettlet: dunno. magic. |
| 16:16 | pixelead0 | http://cubox-i.com/install-os-on-micro-sd-flash-card/ |
| 16:17 | pixelead0 | i downloaded GeexBox XBMC |
| 16:17 | lioka | jnettlet: anyway, this is how it works for me. |
| 16:18 | jnettlet | lioka, okay thanks. sounds like the wiki for newer kernels needs to be updated and fixed. |
| 16:18 | pixelead0 | copy the image to the microSD using dd, I connected to CUbox-i, and does not start |
| 16:19 | jnettlet | pixelead0, does the sd-card that shipped with your cubox-i work? |
| 16:19 | jnettlet | or did it work? |
| 16:19 | pixelead0 | yes |
| 16:19 | pixelead0 | it's working whit android |
| 16:20 | suihkulokki | lioka: ok, trying out it |
| 16:21 | jnettlet | pixelead0, sorry I have to step out. perhaps someone else can help you. You may also want to check the forums . |
| 16:23 | pixelead0 | thank's |
| 16:24 | pixelead0 | good day |
| 16:25 | pixelead0 | after you copied the image, I have to do something to load the boot? |
| 16:41 | suihkulokki | lioka: didn't get any further :/ |
| 16:43 | suihkulokki | lioka: what kernel version are you using, and with what kernel command line? |
| 16:49 | lioka | suihkulokki: well, it is 3.12 with armada-drm stuff pulled in |
| 16:50 | lioka | suihkulokki: with usual cmdline -- console=ttyS0,115200n8 earlyprintk root=/dev/sda3 ro mem=2032M |
| 16:50 | lioka | suihkulokki: care to show dmesg ? |
| 17:08 | _rmk_ | jnettlet: well, don't know why I bother... the component stuff can't make it for 3.14 either because greg's closed his tree |
| 17:08 | jnettlet | when did that happen? I usually get an email alert. |
| 17:09 | _rmk_ | don't know, greg just told me that it's not making 3.14 |
| 17:09 | _rmk_ | so shrug, I'm not going to do any more work on imx-drm for a while, neither am I going to see about fixing armada-drm to use it |
| 17:09 | _rmk_ | I don't see any point in wasting my time on this crap until stuff can get merged |
| 17:10 | _rmk_ | if it takes years to get mainline into a state where ARM platforms can be supported then there's no point trying for mainline kernel support IMHO |
| 17:10 | jnettlet | well I will probably take a stab at it but that will be for the 3.10 lts kernel. |
| 17:11 | jnettlet | I am actually making decent progress on getting all my kernel stuff out by the end of the month. |
| 17:12 | _rmk_ | I've chased Mark & Liam about the kirkwood asoc stuff again |
| 17:12 | _rmk_ | they failed to tell me that Liam's patches were merged, which removes the dependency stopping my patches there. |
| 17:12 | _rmk_ | again, with twits like that I don't know why I even bother |
| 17:14 | jnettlet | this is something Linus bitched about a year ago. Maintainers holding patches until the last minute and then pushing lots of stuff before the merge window closes. |
| 17:15 | _rmk_ | yea, so the kirkwood asoc patches now have to wait another three months or so for the next fscking merge window |
| 17:15 | _rmk_ | hence my comment "takes years" |
| 17:17 | jnettlet | at which point we are now generations behind in hardware support |
| 17:18 | jnettlet | and the reason that most manufacturers are using 3.0 based kernels |
| 17:18 | _rmk_ | exactly |
| 17:18 | _rmk_ | ... because its just too sodding painful to work with mainline |
| 17:19 | _rmk_ | except on a "lets throw this patch at mainline and see if it sticks" basis |
| 17:21 | hste | do I sense some frustrations here...... :) |
| 17:30 | suihkulokki | lioka, i'll do later, now i need to leave computers for a while |
| 17:30 | jnettlet | _rmk_, so do you want to netbook your OMAP board or what? |
| 17:31 | _rmk_ | I'd rather make progress on the cubox* stuff but that seems totally impossible |
| 17:33 | jnettlet | lets make a cubox github account that we can merge into. |
| 18:42 | jmontleo | is there somewhere the vivante gc2000 driver for x11 can be downloaded |
| 19:53 | cardiel | does archlinux arm have support for gpu and vpu acceleration on cubox-i4? |
| 20:39 | t3hn0 | hey guys..did todays shippments went out as planned today? |
| 20:39 | t3hn0 | my order was planned for today but it's still marked as processing |
| 20:52 | xraxor | guys can someone tell what specs the humingboard has? |
| 22:02 | suihkulokki | lioka: it was my own failure, I built the new kernel, appended the dtb but forgot to run mkimage to make a new uImage /o\ |
| 22:03 | suihkulokki | lioka: so I present a bootlog of succesful load of X11 with 3.13-rc7 and just 2 patches! http://kos.to/cubox/bootlog.txt |
| 22:08 | lioka | good |
