01:34 rabeeh SPL support added - http://imx.solid-run.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=333&start=10#p1885
01:34 rabeeh finally - no need for 4 images
01:59 Thecko hi, anyone here?
02:22 mhoney_work hello
06:51 _dab_ rabeeh does ping on your uboot work for you? It fails for me with the uboot at http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/72661517/tbr/spl/u-boot.img
06:51 _dab_ I am trying to get an nfs boot to work
06:55 _dab_ jnettlet?
10:09 MikeSeth rabeeh: oh awesome
11:33 xraxor great stuff about the SPL
11:38 rabeeh xraxor: yes. this will save uploading four different images
11:38 rabeeh there is a way also to detect if it's HB or CuBox-i; so afterall we will have a single u-boot for both families of machines :)
11:41 hste rabeeh: so the ram settings for higher speed etc will now be ok?
12:11 _rmk_ well, I guess I now need to sort out a DT file for the cubox-i
12:24 dv_ has anyone tried out the imx6 wayland support yet?
12:32 rabeeh dv_: i'm not familiar with anyone that tried it
12:36 xraxor sounds good rabeeh.
12:43 xraxor man this internet has got some issues :(
12:50 _rmk_ xraxor: maybe freenode is under attack yet again
12:50 _rmk_ it seems to be a regular thing
12:52 _rmk_ I once asked one of the freenode staff what the nature of an attack they announced was... the reply was along the lines of "we don't know"
12:55 rabeeh _rmk_: i was wondering that too
12:55 rabeeh i mean who would even want to attack freenode; besides making some noise
12:57 _rmk_ attacking irc networks is unfortunately one of those things that has been going on for some time... some people derive fun from depriving others of stuff
13:00 xraxor shit
13:01 xraxor _rmk_: thats worrying, why would they hack? what can they get?
13:02 _rmk_ xraxor: try a different server - I'm on leguin.freenode.net
13:02 _rmk_ xraxor: from what I've seen it seems to be a case of trying to overload a server to cause it to split off from the rest of the network
13:05 _rmk_ as for what can they get - irc has had a history of issues with sorting out netsplits - by that I mean sorting out what should be the correct channel modes.
13:06 _rmk_ for instance, if you get stuff just right, it used to be possible to gain channel operator status by causing a netsplit...
13:06 _rmk_ you could also do evil stuff like cause a netsplit, change your nick, when the server rejoins, you might get your target killed off the network
13:06 rabeeh _rmk_: this is something worth an attack then.
13:08 _rmk_ yea. there's been many attempts to plug these holes in the inter-server protocols, but the problem is far from trivial
13:11 xraxor thanks will do the same as you
13:13 xraxor ok seems like im in leguin
13:14 _rmk_ the hybrid 8 and ratbox ircds get around some of this by assigning users a "UID" when they connect - the first three characters are server specific. These remain constant for the duration that the client is connected, so nick changes and netsplits have no effect on that. Inter-server messages use the UIDs as targets rather than the nicknames, the messages only get converted to nicknames when being sent to a non-UID supporting server or clients.
13:18 _rmk_ the channel stuff is slightly more complex - at the simple level, a channel has a network wide timestamp associated with it. when two servers split and rejoin, the timestamps are compared, and the server with the earliest timestamp wins the "election" and gets to impose the channel modes.
13:19 _rmk_ so... if you can trick a server into creating an already present channel while split, but with an earlier timestamp (remember, first nick in a new channel gets chanops), it wins the election...
13:20 MikeSeth most ircds have protection against collision attacks, though
13:20 MikeSeth and in general ircds with first class services do not have this problem
13:20 MikeSeth on efnet if all your bots lose ops and you don't know an ircop that knows you.. it's a nightmare
13:21 MikeSeth otherwise, DDoS is about the only attack modern ircds are vulnerable to
13:21 MikeSeth at least if you exclude dns poisoning and theft of ssl keys
13:23 _rmk_ ... but only if they're running something like the TS6 protocol between servers which fixes a set of netsplit/rejoin issues
15:48 pepedog Cooee
15:49 pepedog This new SPL uboot, what toolchain is being used?
15:51 pepedog Native I get complaint that at LD vfp is used, chile SPL doesn't
17:03 rabeeh pepedog: tomlohave-away had the same issue
17:03 rabeeh oh; pepedog left
17:04 rabeeh anyhow; the SPL code uses division '/' which breaks since it uses some libgcc.a that requires multilib
17:04 rabeeh i'm trying to replace those division with do_div()
17:05 rabeeh dv_ / tomlohave-away: what is the best place to gather the gpu binaries from?
17:05 jnettlet rabeeh, oh I have a patch for that. rather than using do_div you can just change one of the u64's to u32
17:05 rabeeh jnettlet: great
17:05 rabeeh btw - please look at my git
17:06 rabeeh https://github.com/rabeeh/u-boot-imx6
17:06 rabeeh ok to pull request?
17:06 rabeeh shortly i will be working on auto detection board and then combine HB / CBi together
17:07 jnettlet rabeeh, I was reviewing that earlier. I need to break up my branches as I am currently working in the 01/14 HEAD, trying to keep us up to date.
17:07 rabeeh the SPL support is mainly two big patches gathered from Wandboard u-boot -
17:07 rabeeh https://github.com/rabeeh/u-boot-imx6/commit/080f0b65edba894e99af416249da53ed048bb31c
17:07 rabeeh https://github.com/rabeeh/u-boot-imx6/commit/d3ca03b5ea9f5dc850bfbba77ca9e06eae048ab2
17:08 jnettlet rabeeh, take a look at this patch and see if you agree. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/736509/0001-mx6-fix-build-due-to-divide-u64-u32.patch
17:11 rabeeh did you test?
17:12 rabeeh there were two places with the division issue (tomlohave-away reported)
17:13 jnettlet yep that has been working for me. The other place I think fixed itself once I fixed this function
17:15 rabeeh ok; works for me too
17:16 rabeeh btw - with u-boot.img on a fat partition
17:16 rabeeh so that one works too
17:21 tomlohave-away rabeeh: for gpu binarie, we use the same as the Yocto project.
19:46 rabeeh https://github.com/rabeeh/u-boot-imx6/commit/920ea0f20276614e11961924b1990b6c922c8d0e
19:47 rabeeh code that auto detect HB / CBi and accordingly sets machine ID (and enables / doesn't enable the front LED)
20:08 zecrazytux hi
20:43 zecrazytux is there any document that shows whats mainline and whats not ?
21:48 pixelad0 Hello!!
21:49 pixelad0 i nedd help
21:49 pixelad0 i can't boot my cubox-i 4
21:50 pixelad0 I followed the steps in the wiki
21:50 pixelad0 http://cubox-i.com/install-os-on-micro-sd-flash-card/
21:51 pixelad0 download GeexBox XBMC and copy to microSD
21:54 pixelead0 can someone help me?
21:54 cbxbiker61 pixelad0, in my testing the carrier-one was sensitive to the brand of sd card, sandisk works well
21:56 pixelead0 ok
21:57 pixelead0 I'll try a scandisk memory
21:57 pixelead0 thnks
21:58 pixelead0 I have to make an additional partition or something similar?
21:58 cbxbiker61 no
21:58 pixelead0 o ?nicamente con copiar la imagen a la memoria?
21:58 pixelead0 or just copy the image to the memory?
21:59 cbxbiker61 sd card, not memory
22:00 pixelead0 I'll try, thank you very much.
