06:59 jnettlet[m]> Can anyone explain to me Debian
06:59 jnettlet[m]> Debian's obsession with cd-rom images?
07:00 jnettlet[m]> I am pretty sure USB sticks are far better medium to target
07:07 Humpelstilzchen> jnettlet[m]: at least the netinstall does also work on a usb-storage device
07:07 jnettlet[m]> Humpelstilzchen: if you have iso9660 support in u-boot
07:07 jnettlet[m]> which is very odd for ARM devices
08:04 suihkulokki> jnettlet[m]: yeah, I'm sure these days 99% of users just dd the iso to usb stick
08:05 suihkulokki> jnettlet[m]: I doubt anyone it obsessed about it...
08:07 suihkulokki> more like nobody cares enough. for better or worse, El Torito is now the standard for kicking installers up
12:19 Humpelstilzchen 12:19 * Humpelstilzchen now burns an ISO for installation
12:34 suihkulokki> Humpelstilzchen: so _you_ are the famous 1% ;P
12:37 suihkulokki> from the kernel DT binding doc
12:37 suihkulokki> Compatible list, may contain
12:37 suihkulokki> "ethernet-phy-ieee802.3-c22" or "ethernet-phy-ieee802.3-c45" for
12:37 suihkulokki> PHYs that implement IEEE802.3 clause 22 or IEEE802.3 clause 45
12:37 suihkulokki> specifications.
12:38 suihkulokki> ...bacause "IEEE802.3 clause 22" is clearly so obvious it doesn't need any explanation
13:29 jnettlet[m]> Is anyone currently using the MCBin images with PM firmware built in?
13:35 Ke> sort of, may not be working
13:35 Ke> but it was there during the build
13:35 Ke> IIRC I get some messages about it being missing anyway, or something
13:37 jnettlet[m]> Ke, yeah I just looked at that. It is a an issue with the 17.10 release
13:37 Ke> as you know, not many things are working for me anyway
13:38 jnettlet[m]> So I have reverted the necessary patches and switched back to the 17.08 firmware branch.
13:38 Ke> is someone planning on doing a new release sometime
13:38 jnettlet[m]> since Marvell still hasn't released their firmware utilities package to build those BL2 binaries I see no reason in keeping those patches in ATF.
13:38 Ke> like one that has 18 in it
13:39 jnettlet[m]> I haven't heard a thing from Marvell
13:39 jnettlet[m]> 18?
13:39 Ke> 18.05 eg.
13:40 jnettlet[m]> OpenWRT?
13:41 Ke> no I mean firmware version
13:41 Ke> assuming someone has continued development of the fw release
13:42 Ke> fw as in ATF, mv-ddr, uefi, u-boot
13:43 jnettlet[m]> you would hope so. I am trying to sort all this out for our Clearfog GT 8K board
13:43 suihkulokki> jnettlet[m]: I tried and reported http://macchiatobin.net/forums/topic/power-management-firmware-for-17-10-branch-atf/
13:44 Ke> I don't think I have ever seen that FreeRTOS 7.3.0 message
13:44 jnettlet[m]> suihkulokki: okay I will push my branches so you can build with the older binary that had working PM
13:44 Ke> I can grep the serial logs, when I get home
13:49 suihkulokki> jnettlet[m]: thanks.
13:50 jnettlet[m]> although I am having issues with efi boot in u-boot now.
13:50 jnettlet[m]> It would be nice if people stopped screwing around with bootloaders constantly
14:02 Ke> jnettlet[m]: nice that I am not alone here
14:03 Ke> especially, if you could fix upstream u-boot^^
14:03 jnettlet[m]> Well this was generally working for a brief moment.
14:05 suihkulokki> jnettlet[m]: do you know how complete the mainline support for PM features is?
14:05 suihkulokki> mainline kernel, I mean
14:06 Ke> wasn't it completely unmerged?
14:07 suihkulokki> I'd assume cpuidle via psci doesn't need much (DT update?)
14:07 jnettlet[m]> no idea. I have been only working LTS kernels. I am just getting caught up on Mainline seeing as so many complaints have started coming in.
14:08 suihkulokki> I wouldn't be surprised if the cpufreq is swamp of multiple missing drivers in different areas of kernel..
22:35 agraf> jnettlet[m]: what doesn't work for you?
