11:10 warped-rudi> Hi there! Where can I find a tool to test KMS i.e. list and switch modes?
12:51 Ke> if I want ton configure u-boot env, what do I need to do on u-boot marvell
12:51 Ke> -n
12:51 Ke> it seems SPL_ENV is the thing, but SPL seems to be for other SoCs mainly
12:52 Ke> or is ENV embedded into the bootloader image, if I don't set the SPL
13:17 jnettlet[m]> Ke: just use env save to save your current environment. saveenv is broken in Marvell's u-boot
13:18 Ke> jnettlet[m]: but how do I configure where it's stored in the u-boot build
13:18 Ke> seems to be SPL stuff and SPL seems to be to some other platforms?
13:18 jnettlet[m]> Ke: by default it is stored on the medium that it booted u-boot from
13:18 Ke> inline in the bootloader image
13:19 Ke> eg somewhere between the 2M start and 34M stop
13:19 Ke> ?
13:20 jnettlet[m]> oh, that may not work with the Marvell images because of they changes they have made to the environment logic.
13:20 Ke> well I guess I can just try and see, what happens
13:20 jnettlet[m]> they have overriden the default behaviour to store the env immediately after the u-boot.img
13:21 Ke> so still somewhere within 2M...34M?
13:21 jnettlet[m]> which you need to take into account because if you make changes and the image grows larger than the aligned size it will overwrite the env on the device
13:21 Ke> or at 34M
13:21 jnettlet[m]> it should be in < 2M
13:22 jnettlet[m]> before the first partition
13:24 Ke> ack
13:26 jnettlet[m]> Ke: you will also be happy to know last week when I got down to the office one of the topics
