| 09:29 | KBme | hello |
| 10:24 | KBme | does anyone know whether the pci-express port works with the 3.14 kernel on linux-fsl? |
| 10:24 | KBme | this https://github.com/SolidRun/linux-fslc/tree/3.14-1.0.x-mx6-sr ? |
| 10:26 | Catwich | KBme: pcie works |
| 10:27 | KBme | right on. thank you. |
| 12:07 | KBme | can't even manage to get this kernel compiled |
| 12:08 | KBme | a problem with pci |
| 12:08 | KBme | drivers/pci/host/pci-imx6.c:1295:10: error: 'pci_imx_pm_ops' undeclared here (not in a function) |
| 12:52 | IgorPec | 0.436302] imx6q-pcie: probe of 1ffc000.pcie failed with error -22 |
| 12:52 | IgorPec | there is some problem with pci |
| 13:23 | vpeter | But at least kernel compiles fine for me. |
| 13:24 | IgorPec | it compiles fine for me to |
| 13:24 | IgorPec | but pci does not work |
| 13:27 | vpeter | So maybe it is better that KBme can't even compile :) |
| 13:28 | IgorPec | :) |
| 13:49 | vpeter | IgorPec: Do you have any wireless card in your clearfog? |
| 13:49 | vpeter | working |
| 13:52 | IgorPec | yes, i have two at the moment |
| 13:53 | IgorPec | one for 2.4 and one for 5, both live / testing operational |
| 13:55 | IgorPec | 01:00.0 Network controller: Qualcomm Atheros QCA9565 / AR9565 Wireless Network Adapter (rev 01) |
| 13:55 | IgorPec | 02:00.0 Network controller: Qualcomm Atheros AR93xx Wireless Network Adapter (rev 01) |
| 13:55 | vpeter | Would you share some buy link maybe? |
| 13:56 | vpeter | What about mini pcie for 2 sata drives you have any? |
| 13:56 | IgorPec | sure, for 2.4 i use some old from notebook ... it's single stream so it sucks, the other one |
| 13:56 | IgorPec | http://www.ebay.com/itm/190722777110?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT |
| 13:57 | IgorPec | i have only one msata to sata, which is only a connector ... so one drive per slot |
| 13:59 | vpeter | Ok, this is some cheap card which I also have somewhere. Also have this pasive adapter for one sata. |
| 13:59 | IgorPec | this is probably the best buy non AC card |
| 14:00 | IgorPec | for 5g AP you need to patch driver |
| 14:01 | vpeter | And how is armbian doing? Good to be used for 24/7 device? |
| 14:03 | IgorPec | i do a lot of testing, i use it on several machines, updating is conservative and problems are fixed quickly ... is somehow general philosopy |
| 14:05 | vpeter | Good. Then will start with it. My first choice was openwrt but now I changed my mind. |
| 14:05 | IgorPec | and the idea is to provide three kernels per board: legacy, current, dev ... almost there |
| 14:06 | IgorPec | almost no update, regular update, daily update |
| 14:08 | vpeter | So this means "full time hobby" :-) |
| 14:08 | IgorPec | oh :) yes |
| 15:13 | vpeter | Nice, have to pay 56 € import tax for clearfog :) |
| 15:19 | IgorPec | request super economy packing ;) http://forum.armbian.com/index.php/topic/491-need-help-on-pine-a64-15-64bit-quad-core-12ghz-single-board-computer/?p=4467 |
| 15:19 | IgorPec | and it might not be checked by customs |
| 15:21 | vpeter | And I would pay for broken pcb... |
| 15:23 | quitte_ | It's a bit much. Where in europe is that? 19% here in DE |
| 15:23 | mk01 | quitte_: Import TAX and +VAT |
| 15:24 | quitte_ | hmm. I thought it was Einfuhrumsatzsteuer only |
| 15:24 | vpeter | + extra expense for dhl :) |
| 15:24 | vpeter | quitte_: slovenia |
| 15:27 | vpeter | Should order it to work and would be free :( |
| 15:29 | IgorPec | yes, if you order to company, tax can be compensated. so it's just DHL |
| 15:54 | KBme | eh eh eh dammit |
| 15:54 | KBme | how is it that pcie doesn't work? sr has been selling hummingboards with a pcie port for a long while now no? |
| 15:54 | KBme | ok I should've just read the source: it was missing some PM core functionality. so since the 'pci_imx_pm_ops' is inside an ifdef for PM_CORE but it is used out of the ifdef |
| 15:56 | IgorPec | pci is working but i guess there are some problems in latest version |
| 15:57 | KBme | latest version meaning? |
| 15:57 | IgorPec | meaning if you build from GITHUB |
| 15:57 | IgorPec | https://github.com/SolidRun/linux-fslc |
| 15:57 | KBme | the latest kernel in that linux-fslc repo |
| 15:57 | KBme | oh. |
| 15:57 | KBme | so is there a known working version? |
| 15:58 | IgorPec | yes |
| 15:58 | KBme | where? :) |
| 15:58 | IgorPec | if you are lazy here: http://www.armbian.com/kernel/ |
| 15:58 | KBme | eww |
| 15:58 | IgorPec | if you want to build from sources there or here: https://github.com/linux4kix/linux-linaro-stable-mx6 |
| 15:58 | KBme | no, I'm not that lazy |
| 15:59 | KBme | ok |
| 15:59 | IgorPec | this kernel is kind of obsolete but it works o.k. |
| 15:59 | IgorPec | btw, which hardware you have? |
| 15:59 | KBme | oh, but this probably doesn't support the vivante binaries? |
| 16:00 | KBme | well, I have a custom board |
| 16:00 | IgorPec | oh, no |
| 16:00 | KBme | based on the ummm gate, I think |
| 16:00 | IgorPec | vivante will not work with that one |
| 16:01 | IgorPec | than try going few commits back or wait. |
| 16:01 | IgorPec | https://github.com/SolidRun/linux-fslc/issues/37 Jon was notified |
| 16:01 | KBme | so it's weird that I have to wait like a minute before being able to access the solid-run website. |
| 16:01 | KBme | all right |
| 16:02 | IgorPec | website, no idea |
| 16:02 | KBme | yeah, I'll try to bisect the changes made that may be related to pcie |
| 16:02 | KBme | thanks IgorPec |
| 16:02 | IgorPec | there was huge merge few commits back. try skipping that |
| 16:03 | IgorPec | np |
| 16:03 | KBme | I'll also jus try to compile with the latest kernel and go confirm on that bugreport if it doesn't work |
| 16:03 | KBme | I have some similar atheros card |
| 16:04 | IgorPec | i think the problem is not in cards , since those cards works fine everywhere else |
| 16:05 | KBme | probably not. but it may come from a configuration difference. I am not using a default config |
| 16:07 | IgorPec | me neither but I tried default after my conf failed. |
| 16:09 | KBme | ah. ok |
| 16:28 | KBme | I'm guessing this is the huge merge you are talking about: https://github.com/SolidRun/linux-fslc/commit/02d942933784b61cf6941fd2e21e8a605c1d31a5 |
| 16:28 | KBme | thing is I don't even get that error message you are getting |
| 16:28 | KBme | strange |
| 16:48 | KBme | IgorPec, does pcie need some support from the bootloader aswell? |
| 16:56 | IgorPec | not necessarily ... it wasn't changed much |
| 16:56 | IgorPec | and not lately |
| 17:00 | KBme | hmm |
| 17:00 | KBme | weird. all I get regarding pcie in my dmesg is "ehci-pci: EHCI PCI platform driver" |
| 17:02 | wrexem | #IgorPecForPresident |
| 17:04 | KBme | :D |
| 17:06 | IgorPec | :) |
| 17:07 | IgorPec | BTW: I just compiled 4.4.1 and PCI works fine |
| 17:07 | IgorPec | but this kernel is for headless usage |
| 17:08 | KBme | yeah, graphics drivers will never be updated it seems |
| 17:08 | KBme | we will never ever get to run a new kernel on non-headless machines |
| 17:09 | KBme | except if etnaviv starts working well enough, which I sort of doubt |
| 17:09 | IgorPec | i doubt too |
| 17:10 | vpeter | kernel 4.4 + grpahic works also |
| 17:11 | IgorPec | how? |
| 17:12 | IgorPec | so i don't have proper patches? :) |
| 17:12 | KBme | yeah I would really really like to know also |
| 17:14 | KBme | I thought graphics drivers are abi-locked to a kernel version |
| 17:14 | KBme | which is why we are still stuck with the same years old 3.14 kernel |
| 17:14 | vpeter | IgorPec: I don't know how - out of my knowledge :(. But I'm playing with kernel from xbian https://github.com/xbianonpi/xbian-sources-kernel/tree/imx6-4.4.y and I have output on HDMI and LVDS display. |
| 17:15 | KBme | oh, ok. yeah. but that doesn't mean hardware accel, which is what we want. |
| 17:15 | KBme | or at least what I mean when I say graphics support |
| 17:15 | vpeter | I'm sure it is hw accel. |
| 17:15 | vpeter | How would you play video without that? |
| 17:15 | KBme | on the cpu |
| 17:16 | vpeter | no |
| 17:17 | IgorPec | when playing video is your cpu more or less idling or running full? |
| 17:18 | vpeter | checking... |
| 17:21 | wrexem | http://i.imgur.com/z4MKkSz.gifv |
| 17:21 | wrexem | wooops, wrong channel |
| 17:21 | wrexem | Enjoy, though |
| 17:21 | vpeter | http://pastebin.com/1nruC2Ju |
| 17:22 | wrexem | vpeter, you should dd that system out to file asap so these guys can fiddle with it lol |
| 17:23 | vpeter | you mean movie? |
| 17:23 | KBme | looks like software decoding to me |
| 17:23 | KBme | 50% cpu for a 720p movie |
| 17:24 | vpeter | but kodi is between 2 and 6 %. |
| 17:25 | KBme | hm that is not bad |
| 17:25 | vpeter | I'm sure this is not sw decoding. |
| 17:26 | vpeter | what is keyboard shortcut to see statistic on kdoi? |
| 17:26 | mk01 | that high load is because of AEngine transcoding 6ch audio |
| 17:26 | KBme | wow so there is a vivante release for 4.4? |
| 17:27 | vpeter | I'm using same version for sr kernel :) |
| 17:27 | KBme | WHERE IS IT?! why is it not in solidrun repos?! dammit :D |
| 17:27 | KBme | oh? |
| 17:27 | vpeter | 5.0.11.p4.5 |
| 17:27 | KBme | that's kind of surprising |
| 17:29 | wrexem | correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't that say 95% idle? |
| 17:30 | vpeter | I don't know much of all this. Just a user (or want to be). But because knowledge is so dispersed you need to be really smart guy to get something running. |
| 17:30 | vpeter | wrexem: Yes. |
| 17:30 | KBme | yes it does |
| 17:30 | KBme | it's 50% vsz which is ram. sorry. |
| 17:30 | KBme | hmm I'll have to look into this |
| 17:31 | vpeter | little higher kodi cpu for Jellyfish-45-Mbps.mkv fullh sample |
| 17:31 | dv_ | one big problem with imx6 stuff in general is that development is so fragmented. |
| 17:32 | dv_ | everybody does their own thing |
| 17:32 | dv_ | especially visible with kernel forks |
| 17:32 | vpeter | ^^^ exactly :( |
| 17:32 | vpeter | And this "everybody" do something for his own purpose. |
| 17:33 | vpeter | KBme: I'm sure I don't need to tell you this kernel is unofficial. |
| 17:33 | KBme | heheh |
| 17:33 | KBme | ok so it's some monkeypatched kernel that retains abi compatibility with the old viv drivers |
| 17:33 | vpeter | Which means don't expect solution from sr. |
| 17:34 | vpeter | Similar kernel for one other board https://github.com/patrykk/linux-udoo/tree/4.4 |
| 17:36 | KBme | ok right on |
| 17:36 | mk01 | KBme: 5.0.11.p4.5 are old viv drivers? can you point us to drivers please ? |
| 17:36 | mk01 | re: to new drivers |
| 17:37 | mitchty | i did a quick test to try 4.4 but it didn't seem to have the dtb files for the hb2 |
| 17:39 | KBme | mk01, I've been trying to find an official(ish) source for vivante for imx6 but I have failed so far |
| 17:39 | KBme | here http://freescale.github.io/doc/release-notes/current/index.html#version-by-soc-hierarchy |
| 17:40 | KBme | ok so the x11 drivers are more up-to-date than the framebuffer ones, it seems |
| 17:40 | mitchty | I only need headless operation though so suppose I can port patches to get things to work |
| 17:41 | KBme | mitchty, hb2 has same dtb as hb1 afaik |
| 17:43 | mk01 | KBme: there are no different "drivers" for x11 and fb. it's one galcore kernel driver and binary userland libs |
| 17:45 | KBme | well, on the bsp it clearly states latest support kernel is 3.14 |
| 17:45 | KBme | for some boards there is a 4.1+git there |
| 17:47 | mk01 | KBme: yes. this is what you can get FSL's support for |
| 17:47 | KBme | yeah |
| 17:47 | KBme | i'm kind of excited to know some people have made the gpu driver work with 4.4 |
| 17:59 | vpeter | :) |
| 18:00 | dv_ | ahem. |
| 18:00 | dv_ | "HDMI and LVDS is [in the kernel] because of the drm-imx driver in 4.4" |
| 18:00 | dv_ | "galcore is not kernel version locked at all, the userspace libraries are ABI locked to the kernel module. There is nothing stopping galcore from running on 4.4, and I know it does work. but...the userspace binaries only know about the iMX fbdev device which doesn't exist in 4.4" |
| 18:01 | dv_ | just quoting from someone else |
| 18:37 | heap_ | my dmesg is full of |
