| 09:17 | vpeter | jnettlet: Would be possible to get one test image from you? |
| 09:52 | jnettlet | vpeter, probably later tonight I will do another build. |
| 10:00 | vpeter | good. |
| 11:03 | topi`_ | rabeeh: is the final version of HB Edge going to have a physical SIM holder or just the soldering pads for it? if I look at the available pics of the board, it seems there's just the pads |
| 11:05 | jnettlet | topi`_, just pads. The SIM slot can be in the way for some cards that aren't designed for it. |
| 11:08 | topi`_ | right |
| 11:08 | topi`_ | and also you need a case that accommodates the thing |
| 11:09 | topi`_ | it'd be nice if the SIM was as easilly accessible as a SD card. |
| 11:16 | jnettlet | oh actually I forgot the sim tray was moved. It is accessible with any card in the slot because it is on the other side now. |
| 11:17 | topi`_ | but there's the mPCIe slot in the underside now |
| 11:17 | jnettlet | so it is accessible without removing the card. As for being like the sdhc that isn't going to happen, this is an embedded device not a mobile device. |
| 11:17 | jnettlet | yeah, full side. The sim card tray sits on the front of that connector. |
| 11:25 | topi`_ | jnettlet: what's the status of using the VPU to playback video with that new FSL kernel you've been working on? |
| 11:25 | jnettlet | topi`_, everything is fully functional on the new kernel |
| 11:25 | topi`_ | I remember I needed to compile some obscure libipu or imx stuff when I tried to get gstreamer working with it |
| 11:26 | topi`_ | then I used imxipusink in gstreamer and it actually worked |
| 11:26 | jnettlet | well you still need to do that. It has nothing to do with the kernel |
| 11:26 | topi`_ | right |
| 11:26 | jnettlet | I highly recommend you use dv's gstreamer 1.0 plugins |
| 11:27 | topi`_ | optimally I'd like to have a .deb package that, when installed, enables VPU playback with gstreamer :) |
| 11:27 | jnettlet | we have it for wheezy, jessie will hopefully be built today. |
| 11:27 | topi`_ | I guess the problem with the binaries provided by FSL was that they were for the old gstreamer-0.1 |
| 11:28 | rabeeh | topi`_ / jnettlet: in mass production i think the SIM card holder will be assembled |
| 11:28 | rabeeh | i can check it |
| 11:29 | rabeeh | both the modem (half size and full size supported now) and the SIM card are on the print side of the board (bottom side) |
| 11:29 | topi`_ | rabeeh: that would be nice for us; since we don't have a proper HW lab |
| 11:29 | rabeeh | so installation becomes much more easier. |
| 11:34 | topi`_ | rabeeh: this is all excellent news |
| 11:35 | topi`_ | I really liked working with the Hummingboard, the kernel support is very good (as opposed to some other ARM platforms) |
| 11:35 | topi`_ | and I told my boss that since the Edge is software compatible with the previous HB, we would need no new "investment" in building the SW platform. |
| 11:42 | rabeeh | topi`_: you need to update u-boot and a new dts file for hummingboard-edge |
| 11:43 | rabeeh | u-boot update is required for detecting the board by gpios, and add support for booting from sata / emmc |
| 11:43 | topi`_ | rabeeh: yeah, but this is trivial |
| 11:43 | rabeeh | :) |
| 11:44 | topi`_ | when comparing with compiling libimxipu from FSL's sources hidden somewhere, etc etc :) |
| 11:44 | jnettlet | topi`_, what platform do you currently use/ |
| 11:44 | jnettlet | ? |
| 11:45 | topi`_ | jnettlet: the Compulab Utilite2 |
| 11:45 | topi`_ | it has a nice metal case |
| 11:45 | topi`_ | but Qualcomm is a huge pain in the ass |
| 11:45 | topi`_ | generally they're not interested in developing SW further for their older SoCs like the 8064 |
| 12:18 | jnettlet | malte, did you get a chance to test the driver changes with your receiver last night? |
| 18:56 | vpeter | jnettlet: what has been changed in your kernel regarding ac97? And sound in general. Because I have lots of changes between 3.14.28 from freescale. |
| 19:03 | jnettlet | Nothing specific from me. Any changes would be brought in from lts which means they are upstream fixes |
| 19:05 | vpeter | Very confusing if everyone who has 5 minutes free time change something in kernel :) |
| 19:08 | jnettlet | Is the udoo sound working on mainline? |
| 19:08 | vpeter | No. |
| 19:08 | jnettlet | Ok |
| 19:09 | vpeter | The only working kernel is from them. 2 months old. |
| 19:09 | jnettlet | Do they have a patch series or just one big audio fix patch? |
| 19:09 | vpeter | I got it working with current kernel in openelec. But this new one... doesn't work anymore. Seems there are some issues with ASoC machine driver. |
| 19:09 | vpeter | series. |
| 19:10 | vpeter | https://github.com/UDOOboard/linux_kernel/commits/imx_3.14.28_1.0.0_ga_udoo?page=2 |
| 19:10 | vpeter | starts here |
| 19:12 | jnettlet | Ah that is the difference. It pulls in linaro patches for ac97. The old kernel was based on linaros git. They must have a patch series that we are missing |
| 19:13 | vpeter | for ac97? |
| 19:29 | jnettlet | Sorry yeah. |
| 19:30 | jnettlet | I can try my git foo on it after dinner of it helps. |
| 19:38 | vpeter | jnettlet: If you have time then please do. |
| 20:06 | vpeter | jnettlet: fyi - I applied all those patches to kernel but something else is still missing. Codec vt1613 is registered but machine driver is not. |
| 20:16 | jnettlet | No error messages in the logs? |
| 20:46 | vpeter | no. Only 2 lines are missing. |
| 20:46 | vpeter | I send mail to original author if can help but no response yet. |
