05:32 jnettlet[m]> @vp
05:33 jnettlet[m]> vpeter: yeah there was a strange bug patch that we needed from Marvell's u-boot
10:32 vpeter> Great. I have to make new working image over weekend with everything inside I use.
10:34 vpeter> Must check if SFP module still needs to run with 75 kHz instead of 100kHz.
10:55 vpeter> jnettlet[m]: I assume it is this commit? https://github.com/SolidRun/lede-project/commit/851fa93f59d81537cae245dba1d7eb097c638e6a
10:55 vpeter> I have that card :(
11:51 jnettlet[m]> vpeter: yes that is the fix
12:17 vpeter> thanks.
12:18 vpeter> Yesterday I didn't even check this commit. Just saw it and says to myself "maybe worth to check new image" :)
13:34 vpeter> rabeeh: regarding this commit https://github.com/SolidRun/lede-project/commit/20defee0ea46f3c7bda3d763354870708fb97213 I think kernel config should be adjusted too because first make fails because of asking for telephony support.
14:15 suihkulokki> Artox: the changes are in debian kernel git and will be in the next experimental upload
14:15 Artox> suihkulokki, great!
14:16 Artox> I don't suppose I could get you to boost enabling the missing options for clearfog in debian too? My bugreport on it doesn't seem to gain any traction.
14:16 suihkulokki> Artox: bug# ?
14:18 Artox> actually, it looks like config options went in long ago (I mixed that up with my ticket for the dove cubox)... so https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=839595 is the one about flash-kernel
14:19 Artox> and then we have https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=876774 for dove cubox (kernel)
14:19 Artox> and flash-kernel: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=876773
14:20 Artox> so clearfog should be a first class citizen already, besides flash-kernel integration (and sfp)
14:21 suihkulokki> Artox: I can look at the dove cubox
14:21 Artox> Hurray :)
14:21 Artox> do you have one?
14:21 suihkulokki> yeah
14:22 Artox> perfect
14:22 Artox> so hdmi out doesn't work because mainline is still missing a piece, but everything else should be good
15:37 Artox> suihkulokki, do you know if the emmc works with that kernel on the mcbin?
15:39 Artox> I currently have a very hacky opensuse on that emmc, all sata disks are used for storage using software raid
17:19 suihkulokki> Artox: yes, I installed to eMMC with it, as my SSD is still on mail
17:19 Artox> :)
17:19 Artox> very good
18:14 topi`> anybody intimate with the etnaviv driver? I've seen some patches landed on 4.12, I wonder whether there are any backports for 4.9 or should I just go and upgrade to 4.12 kernel?
18:15 topi`> we've been testing on 4.9.39 and some etnaviv issues still seem to pop up every now and then... probably related to buffer allocation/management
18:28 vpeter> topi`: You can ask lrusak on #imx6-dev - he is using it.
18:38 topi`> ok
18:55 wumpus> or in #etnaviv
18:56 wumpus> (I'm etnaviv dev but don't know such details about the kernel side of things)
18:59 topi`> yeah the kernel side is all about managing buffers
19:02 wumpus> yes, I know that, but not whether specific patches have been backported :)
19:19 topi`> damn it took quite a few tries to get my installer correct. Now it happily installs as many Hummingboards as it's thrown at, completely via network and without user interaction ;)
19:20 topi`> the emmc write speed is the bottleneck, it caps out at around 30MB/s
19:20 topi`> also decompressing .gz takes quite a bit of CPU
19:21 topi`> requirements: buildroot that has been compiled with python and zlib :)
