| 07:24 | jnettlet[m]> | vpeter: did you get to test that MMC change? did it help? |
| 07:47 | vpeter> | jnettlet[m]: no, didn't test this yet. But I'm having solidpc from a batch with faulty emmc. Now there is different chip used. I'm always checking if for some unknown reason emmc woud work with new bios release :) Not really important because I'm booting from sd card anyway. |
| 08:05 | jnettlet[m]> | oh you may need to drop the speed down to 25Mhz then...although the OS can still try to negotiate that back up unfortunately |
| 08:06 | vpeter> | But speed will drop also I assume? |
| 08:07 | jnettlet[m]> | correct |
| 08:07 | vpeter> | Then it is better to just disable it :-) |
| 08:08 | vpeter> | But will check anyway. For science. |
| 08:09 | rdorsch> | Can anybody tell if there is a multimedia distribution (e.g. libreelec) which uses a mainline kernel with etnaviv and coda? |
| 08:10 | rdorsch> | Last time I check, it seemed that it worked in principle but was ways too slow. |
| 08:15 | vpeter> | rdorsch: wait for le9 with kodi 18. Or some other distro. |
| 08:44 | jnettlet[m]> | and it will have limited codec support |
| 08:46 | vpeter> | Wondering why kodi needs to rewrite core code again and again. And at the end remove functionality. |
| 08:47 | vpeter> | In products I work on there is code dated to 1993. |
| 09:08 | Ke> | jnettlet[m]: what was the upstream-like kernel tree for a8040? |
| 09:58 | jnettlet[m]> | Ke: upstream like? Do you mean rmk's kernel? |
| 09:59 | Ke> | jnettlet[m]: something that is rebased on top of upstream and allows eg. cherry-picking features you want etc. |
| 09:59 | Ke> | or at least rebased on top a recent kernel version, like latest LTS kernel (4.14 now) |
| 10:00 | Ke> | jnettlet[m]: do you have url |
| 10:00 | jnettlet[m]> | http://git.armlinux.org.uk/cgit/linux-arm.git/log/?h=mcbin |
| 10:00 | Ke> | thanks |
| 10:00 | jnettlet[m]> | but if you are going to pull from it, add it as a remote repository to an existing tree. He doesn't have much bandwidth for big pulls. |
| 10:01 | jnettlet[m]> | np. |
| 10:01 | Ke> | sure |
| 10:01 | Ke> | perhaps he could mirror to github? |
| 10:01 | jnettlet[m]> | oh an for CF users, besides u-boot I have some kernel patches from rmk that help significantly with wifi cards not being detected. |
| 10:01 | jnettlet[m]> | Ke, yeah I plan on merging everything into our stable repository for 4.14 |
| 10:02 | jnettlet[m]> | we were trying to let Marvell manage this, but that is not working out so well |
| 10:02 | Ke> | yeah |
| 10:03 | Ke> | in my opinion biggest value is always upstreaming things, even if that means cutting through the red tape |
| 10:03 | Ke> | especially since mcbin upstream support is already quite reasonable |
| 10:03 | jnettlet[m]> | although I think tomorrow I have to clean my desk and testing rack. things are a bit out of control here |
| 10:06 | jnettlet[m]> | in case anyone cares. I was just doing some work getting ready to do some more board CE and FCC certification. I had to drag out my old Ubiquiti Loco M2 AP. It actually has a built in spectrum analyzer software package. Definitely the cheapest 2.4Ghz spectrum analyzer you can buy....only about 45 euro now on Amazon. |
| 10:07 | jnettlet[m]> | I still need to buy a 5ghz version so I can cover both sides of the spectrum. |
| 10:07 | jnettlet[m]> | everything else is covered by my rtlsdr with modified downshifter :) |
| 10:11 | jnettlet[m]> | oh and hopefully this weekend. I will have an initial repo push of openwrt master with 4.14 kernel support for the ClearFog |
| 10:20 | vpeter> | Something for me then. Wondering when (still didn't fix my hdd power click board). |
| 10:28 | jnettlet[m]> | vpeter: are you using anything advanced on your router like the bufferbloat sqm settings? |
| 10:29 | vpeter> | nothing like that |
| 10:47 | jnettlet[m]> | you are missing out. |
| 10:47 | jnettlet[m]> | that is the good stuff for networking |
| 10:53 | vpeter> | Don't have much networking :) But having it as central point (like storage with hdd and samba, tftp/nfs server). And wifi obviously. Overpriced hw but like all in one box. |
| 11:08 | jnettlet[m]> | Overpriced? Maybe over spec'd...but it really is a step up from the cheap home routers you can get. |
| 11:11 | vpeter> | I didn't meant overpriced as hw itself (and offend solidrun). But overpriced what I need - could use some cheaper device. |
| 11:29 | jnettlet[m]> | well lets see what else we can make it do :) |
| 11:29 | jnettlet[m]> | never any offense just joking :) |
| 11:33 | vpeter> | Well, better to clear things up. |
| 11:39 | jnettlet[m]> | nothing is perfect. You just try to do a better job each time. |
| 13:27 | vpeter> | haha https://dms.licdn.com/playback/C5605AQEJCGxMAij_Cg/9405ab5a676944e099fe6a09c01c7625/feedshare-mp4_500/1479932728445-v0ch3x?e=1521810000&v=alpha&t=7zQ_B1QKkq9p43Q1VN8e_7c_CKCbZ1ZBL-Ehd0MV6Io |
| 17:46 | Ke> | suihkulokki: do you have any idea, how should I build the linaro toolchain, is it just normal configure-make-make-install? |
| 17:46 | Ke> | if I want to create a nice portable package like the prebuilt toolchains on linaro site |
| 17:57 | vpeter> | jnettlet[m]: changing mmc speed doesn't help in my case. Now I will not touch it anymore. |
| 19:36 | Ke> | oh dear gcc-5 is no longer supported on u-boot... |
| 21:01 | rdorsch> | vpeter: is le9 working on a release with a mainline kernel? |
