| 13:43.37 | zenitraM | i think i've got how to fix eth on the evb script.bin |
| 13:43.50 | zenitraM | the evb is missing a line: |
| 13:43.51 | cromo | zenitraM: with working X's? |
| 13:43.51 | zenitraM | emac_power = port:PH15<1><default><default><0> |
| 13:44.09 | zenitraM | i have to try it |
| 13:44.10 | cromo | if you could compile quickly the bin |
| 13:44.25 | cromo | I have a friend that will test it quickly to check both x and eth |
| 13:44.33 | zenitraM | i only need to find where did i put the script compiler |
| 13:44.35 | cromo | the same guy that initially reported X not working |
| 13:45.34 | zenitraM | the thing is, with the mele .bin |
| 13:45.41 | zenitraM | x works, but hangs after login |
| 13:46.46 | mnemoc | what driver you use on X? fb? |
| 13:47.03 | zenitraM | i think so. in fact there is no xorg.conf |
| 13:47.53 | mnemoc | cromo: by "linux-allwinner branch" you mean certain branch of this repo: https://github.com/amery/linux-allwinner ? |
| 13:48.06 | cromo | mnemoc: are the values after the comma? size? |
| 13:48.19 | zenitraM | cromo: https://www.dropbox.com/s/xptsdzelwtm821o/evb_eth.bin |
| 13:48.34 | mnemoc | cromo: yes, base comma size |
| 13:48.43 | zenitraM | i was trying to do the opposite, find out why the mele one doesn't work |
| 13:48.49 | cromo | cromo: yes |
| 13:48.52 | cromo | jeeez |
| 13:48.54 | cromo | mnemoc: yes |
| 13:49.24 | mnemoc | cromo: the allwinner-*-android branches include the lichee scripts, the linux-* branches don't |
| 13:49.50 | mnemoc | cromo: but the linux-* branches only include core functionality not even the mmc or nand drivers |
| 13:49.53 | cromo | so you build uImage manually after compilation? |
| 13:50.01 | cromo | ah |
| 13:50.18 | mnemoc | i've never used those scripts |
| 13:50.31 | mnemoc | i use the normal `make` |
| 13:50.50 | cromo | and to build uImage? mkimage? |
| 13:50.53 | mnemoc | make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabi- CONFIG_DEBUG_SECTION_MISMATCH=y -j32 uImage modules |
| 13:50.59 | cromo | ah |
| 13:51.02 | cromo | I get it |
| 13:51.54 | mnemoc | and arch/arm/boot/uImage will be there at the end |
| 13:52.11 | cromo | I thought you need to use the mkimage tool to get the uImage generated |
| 13:52.17 | mnemoc | sure |
| 13:52.19 | cromo | since normally make builds bzImage only |
| 13:52.35 | mnemoc | the the uImage target calls uboot helpers for you |
| 13:52.48 | mnemoc | s/^the/but/ |
| 13:53.07 | cromo | nice |
| 13:54.20 | mnemoc | remove the CONFIG_DEBUG_SECTION_MISMATCH=y from the paste above |
| 13:54.30 | mnemoc | modules probably too |
| 13:55.19 | cromo | which branch do you recommend? linux-3.3-sun4i? |
| 13:55.28 | cromo | is it stable at all? |
| 13:55.57 | mnemoc | only if you are happy with an initrd based system |
| 13:56.18 | mnemoc | I work on allwinner-v3.0-android, trying to fix drivers |
| 13:57.07 | cromo | would rather want kernel only |
| 13:57.21 | mnemoc | hno used linux-3.3-sun4i to fix some core support, but doesn't include any driver |
| 13:57.29 | mnemoc | no mmc, no nand, no fb, .... |
| 13:57.57 | cromo | if there's no mmc, rootfs won't boot, so... |
| 13:58.12 | mnemoc | initramfs will work |
| 13:58.18 | mnemoc | but nothing facier |
| 13:58.21 | mnemoc | fancier* |
| 13:58.33 | cromo | hmm |
| 13:58.51 | mnemoc | allwinner-v3.0-android has working mmc, not nand is not working |
| 13:58.59 | mnemoc | sata seems to work, but haven't tested it |
| 13:59.04 | cromo | USB? |
| 13:59.14 | mnemoc | works fine |
| 13:59.15 | cromo | I want to connect USB cable modem |
| 13:59.19 | mnemoc | also usb-storage |
| 13:59.24 | mnemoc | might work |
| 13:59.28 | cromo | will try it then |
| 13:59.32 | mnemoc | but forget about X for now |
| 14:01.07 | cromo | does it compile with 4.6? |
| 14:01.11 | cromo | gcc that is |
| 14:02.05 | mnemoc | yes, I use linaro's gcc |
| 14:03.30 | mnemoc | cromo: If you are going to play with that branch, this is the diff of my .config http://dpaste.com/735562/ |
| 14:04.08 | cromo | what does it change compared to the config file in branch? in summary |
| 14:04.32 | mnemoc | finishes compiling :p |
| 14:04.42 | cromo | haha |
| 14:04.53 | cromo | CONFIG_VIDEO_SUN4I_CEDAR |
| 14:04.56 | cromo | interesting |
| 14:05.08 | mnemoc | some drivers are still broken, others still crash your kernel so I made them m temporarily |
| 14:07.10 | mnemoc | I wanted to fix the nand driver, but switched to the disp driver as fb seems to have more popular interest ;-) |

| 14:11.47 | zenitraM | mmm the evb one has (obviously) spdif disabled |
| 14:12.13 | zenitraM | aand the system hangs on the mele exactly at the point where the ubuntu startup chime is played |
| 14:12.21 | mnemoc | meh... that's the only sound driver I already ported :< |
| 14:12.41 | zenitraM | this is with their 3.0.8+.. |
| 14:13.04 | zenitraM | i suspect spdif is what is making it really crash |
| 14:13.18 | zenitraM | let's try to disable alsa.. |
| 14:14.28 | cromo | I need to do some more reading on this |
| 14:14.44 | cromo | why can't we really use the one that is used for android? |
| 14:15.07 | mnemoc | we can |
| 14:15.07 | cromo | or in other words, why does it cause problems with vanilla linux kernel? |
| 14:15.12 | zenitraM | cromo: it crashes after ubuntu X login |
| 14:15.52 | mnemoc | cromo: they only implemented and fixed the parts needed to run android |
| 14:16.11 | mnemoc | cromo: linux, Xm and full fb was never of interest for allwinner |
| 14:16.34 | mnemoc | cromo: the drivers miss several not-optional callbacks |
| 14:16.47 | mnemoc | cromo: because android doesn't call them |
| 14:17.11 | cromo | I see |
| 14:17.14 | mnemoc | but linux over the same android kernel does use those callbacks, and crash |
| 14:17.56 | zenitraM | their 3.0.8+ seems to have them implemented though... but no sources |
| 14:17.59 | cromo | A10 is great chip |
| 14:18.05 | cromo | too bad it's not so popular |
| 14:18.28 | cromo | seems perfect for set-top-boxes |
| 14:18.30 | cromo | running linux |
| 14:19.54 | cromo | so basically only their 3.0.8+ runs X fine? |
| 14:21.21 | zenitraM | so far, it seems so |

| 14:49.32 | zenitraM | mele_spdif crashes, evb doesn't |
| 14:49.40 | mnemoc | zenitraM: please, diff -u |
| 14:50.10 | zenitraM | sorry :) http://pastie.org/3833920 |
| 14:51.07 | mnemoc | changes on `uart_used = 0` sections shouldn't matter |
| 14:51.36 | zenitraM | yup.. but there isn't much left |
| 14:51.59 | mnemoc | emac_power = port:PH15<1><default><default><0> seems important |
| 14:52.45 | mnemoc | and +usb_host_init_state = 1 |
| 14:52.57 | cromo | <PROTECTED> |
| 14:53.07 | zenitraM | emac_power is *not* on the evb one |
| 14:53.12 | cromo | it should be OK to enable it by default in repository |
| 14:53.24 | mnemoc | zenitraM: uhm |
| 14:53.27 | zenitraM | that would explain ethernet not working |
| 14:53.58 | mnemoc | cromo: do you have github account? |
| 14:54.05 | cromo | not yet |
| 14:54.28 | cromo | all the programming I do I do only for my closed-source employer ;) |
| 14:54.33 | zenitraM | will try removing that one. maybe the reason X11 crashes is... well, ethernet working and network-manager doing something nasty |
| 14:55.26 | mnemoc | cromo: time to make a change on your life |
| 14:56.04 | cromo | I think about it each day, trust me ;) |
| 14:56.25 | mnemoc | cromo: doing closed programming for your money provider doesn't mean you can't make your own code open |
| 14:56.36 | cromo | time's the issue |
| 14:57.42 | cromo | anyways, I don't get why do I get "Restart config..." each time I make |
| 14:57.59 | cromo | I did make menuconfig and saved, so I assume no more configuration should be needed |
| 14:58.25 | mnemoc | you can edit .config manually |
| 14:58.34 | mnemoc | and consistency needs to be reviewed, each time |
| 14:58.53 | cromo | I'm confused |
| 14:59.19 | cromo | haven't compiled kernel for years now probably, but AFAIR it was enough to do make menuconfig and make |
| 14:59.39 | mnemoc | cromo: first, this isn't not native |
| 15:00.18 | cromo | it asks me some arm questions I don't know and don't want to ask |
| 15:00.27 | mnemoc | so every time you say `make` think: make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabi- |
| 15:00.31 | cromo | sure |
| 15:00.38 | cromo | I do that |
| 15:00.51 | mnemoc | the first thing is a defconfig, sun4i_defconfig in our case |
| 15:01.09 | mnemoc | then, every time you edit .config, oldconfig |
| 15:01.38 | mnemoc | and then, uImage and modules |
| 15:01.59 | mnemoc | with a good -j obviusly |
| 15:02.24 | mnemoc | I use 2 times the number of cores of the machine |
| 15:03.00 | cromo | I still don't understand why am I being asked the configuration questions when doing make |
| 15:03.17 | mnemoc | that happens when your .config is incomplete |
| 15:03.38 | cromo | AFIR running make menuconfig and saving should deal with it |
| 15:04.28 | mnemoc | haven't used menuconfig is years |
| 15:04.36 | mnemoc | in* |
| 15:04.46 | mnemoc | I suppose it should |
| 15:04.51 | mnemoc | oldconfig is faster |
| 15:04.53 | cromo | yeah |
| 15:04.57 | cromo | I went back to README |
| 15:05.05 | zenitraM | okay, even more isolation. http://pastie.org/3834005 |
| 15:05.07 | cromo | quite a lot has changed |
| 15:05.33 | mnemoc | oldconfig is older than menuconfig... |
| 15:05.55 | cromo | but silentoldconfig |
| 15:06.04 | cromo | allyesconfig, etc. |
| 15:06.08 | cromo | don't remember that |
| 15:06.14 | mnemoc | those are for distros |
| 15:06.22 | mnemoc | to include in their build systems |
| 15:06.27 | mnemoc | not for human usage |
| 15:06.40 | cromo | see |
| 15:07.03 | mnemoc | zenitraM: do you have the .fex posted by Tom with all documentation (in chinese) etc? |
| 15:07.36 | mnemoc | zenitraM: still no ethernet on Tom's .fex+fixes ? |
| 15:07.54 | zenitraM | haven't tested yet.. but i think there is something else wrong |
| 15:08.09 | mnemoc | don't be greedy, test one change at the time |
| 15:08.17 | zenitraM | <PROTECTED> |

| 15:08.43 | zenitraM | the .bin tom posted (same as on evb.bin) |
| 15:08.50 | zenitraM | doesn't match the .fex compiled to .bin |
| 15:09.09 | mnemoc | uhm |
| 15:09.14 | zenitraM | and |
| 15:09.26 | zenitraM | it also doesn't match evb.bin decompiled to fex and compiled back again |
| 15:10.07 | zenitraM | which makes me think they're using another version of the script tool which adds something different at the overhead at the end |
| 15:10.55 | mnemoc | tried with the compiler for windows? |
| 15:11.05 | mnemoc | there are some versioning fields in the header |
| 15:11.13 | zenitraM | no windows at hand |
| 15:11.23 | zenitraM | going to try binary-diffing both .bin |
| 15:12.19 | mnemoc | it is possible that the windows compiler translates some of the "default" to a known default value, a 0 or a 1 for example |
| 15:12.28 | mnemoc | while the dumber compiler passes the default as is |
| 15:15.36 | mikey_w | I'e dd(ed) the 2 GB image to a 4GB sd card several times. The first partition on the card will mount but not the rootfs partition? |
| 15:16.03 | mnemoc | fsck it first |
| 15:16.10 | mikey_w | Also there is no u-boot in the first partition. Is the image a joke or what? |
| 15:16.11 | mnemoc | and check you have ext4 support |
| 15:16.38 | mnemoc | u-boot in injected in the first M, before the partitions |
| 15:16.54 | mnemoc | MBRish |
| 15:17.11 | mikey_w | What the heck does that mean, either it's a good image or it's not. |
| 15:17.42 | mnemoc | if works for others, it's a good image |
| 15:18.02 | vgrade | mikey_w, works here |
| 15:18.06 | mikey_w | I am confused or spoiled by my beagleboard's image files. |
| 15:18.27 | mnemoc | 2GB image.... iirc the image is 4GB *compressed* as 2GB |
| 15:18.55 | mikey_w | What is equivalent to MLO and u-boot.bin etc.? |
| 15:19.11 | mnemoc | mikey_w: not visible |
| 15:19.37 | mikey_w | What is the exact boot process from power on to linux running? |
| 15:19.43 | mnemoc | mikey_w: for A10 devices that doesn't go on a partition |
| 15:19.52 | mnemoc | mikey_w: it's documented in the wiki |
| 15:20.05 | mikey_w | URL please? |
| 15:20.06 | vgrade | there is a uboot binary written after the partition table on the sdcard |
| 15:20.19 | vgrade | before the first fat part |
| 15:20.37 | mikey_w | Actually that's rater cool. |
| 15:20.44 | mnemoc | mikey_w: http://rhombus-tech.net//allwinner_a10/a10_mmc_boot/ |
| 15:20.45 | mikey_w | rather |
| 15:21.13 | mikey_w | Makes sense now. Thank you. |

| 15:22.10 | mnemoc | and http://rhombus-tech.net//allwinner_a10/a10_boot_process/ |
| 15:25.51 | mikey_w | So why doesn't the image just image the mbr so u-boot is automatically dd(ed)? |
| 15:26.11 | mikey_w | Or is it? |
| 15:26.30 | zenitraM | it is |
| 15:27.19 | mikey_w | So the dd of u-boot.bin to the sd card as a separate entity is not actually needed, it's already there? |
| 15:27.37 | mikey_w | Just invisible. |
| 15:27.39 | vgrade | correct |
| 15:28.19 | mnemoc | scratches his head..... didn't I said that 10m ago? :( |
| 15:28.36 | mikey_w | I just ordered my A1000 so I have a bit of time to wait before I can try all of this. Just trying to line up my ducks. |

| 15:38.26 | mikey_w | My bad it's sdc. |
| 15:38.37 | mnemoc | :) |
| 15:42.54 | mikey_w | even after running fsck the partition will not mount? |
| 15:43.07 | mnemoc | check dmesg |
| 15:44.17 | mikey_w | EXT4-fs (sdc2): bad geometry: block count 974336 exceeds size of device (962304 blocks) |
| 15:45.19 | mnemoc | correct the partition table and fsck.ext4 again |
| 15:45.30 | mikey_w | ok |
| 15:45.36 | mnemoc | .... distributing raw images is a baaaaaaaad idea |
| 15:47.48 | mikey_w | No joy will start over and hope for a better result. |
| 15:48.39 | mnemoc | it's done in the name of user friendliness, but ends up been far more complex than constructing your own image |
| 15:49.15 | mikey_w | I actually dd(ed) the 2nd partition and copied it to another card after imaging it so that should work. It mounts. |
| 15:51.15 | mikey_w | The fs look good and the first partion contains: evb.bin LOST.DIR mele.bin sys_config1.mele_mod.bin uImage. |
| 15:51.39 | mikey_w | Have to wait for my unit to try it. |
| 15:52.20 | mikey_w | This whole exercise has been instructional. |
| 15:52.37 | mnemoc | how is your kernel-fu? |
| 15:52.52 | mikey_w | fu? |
| 15:53.19 | mnemoc | do you know C and some kernel programming? |
| 15:53.38 | mnemoc | there are still a bunch of drivers in the 3.0 tree that need to be ported |
| 15:53.47 | mnemoc | and no need of a device for that |
| 15:54.00 | mikey_w | yes started with first slackware release where a real man made his own drivers. |
| 15:54.50 | mnemoc | https://github.com/amery/linux-allwinner :) |
| 15:55.04 | mikey_w | ARM compiling is limited but I hae done some ARM assembly stuff. |
| 15:55.22 | mnemoc | allwinner-v3.0-android branch :) |
| 15:55.22 | mikey_w | have |
| 15:55.48 | mikey_w | Something to wile away the time.:) |
| 15:56.03 | mikey_w | lol |
| 15:56.10 | mnemoc | dive in ;-) |
| 15:56.24 | mikey_w | Maybe. |
| 15:56.36 | cromo | mnemoc: which drivers are these? |
| 15:57.20 | mnemoc | hdmi and i2s sound, and v4l2 |
| 15:57.35 | mikey_w | So now I hae a race going on as to whether my A1000, my raspberry pi on my openpandora paid for in April, 2009 will arrive first. |
| 15:58.18 | mnemoc | cromo: I ported the spdif sound driver, should be good a example.... but haven't tested in in runtime |
| 15:58.33 | mnemoc | cromo: I provably screwed up the references in the codec link |
| 15:58.39 | mnemoc | probably* |
| 15:58.58 | mikey_w | later |
| 15:59.38 | mnemoc | disp (fb) drivers builds but it's awfully incomplete, and nand builds but doesn't find sh*t |
| 16:00.39 | mnemoc | I'm trying to understand the disp driver to extend it... all the rest needs volunteers |

| 16:21.26 | cromo | mnemoc: my confusion about all the oldconfig/menuconfig/config was because I was not using make ARCH=arm menuconfig/oldconfig/config, so it would assume my system's default x86_64 |
| 16:21.42 | mnemoc | right |
| 16:22.06 | mnemoc | that's why the very first step is man ARCH=arm sun4i_defconfig |

| 16:27.10 | mnemoc | drivers/net/wireless/rtlwifi/rtl8192cu/rtl8192cu.ko doesn't even try to initialize anything |

| 16:49.35 | mnemoc | no tweakings |
| 16:49.37 | cromo | I didn't do distclean though |
| 16:50.48 | penguin42 | remember to always include the ARCH=arm on every make; otherwise stuff gets rather confused |
| 16:51.00 | cromo | sure, I know |

| 16:51.26 | cromo | and C in general |
| 16:51.32 | mnemoc | cromo: paste the whole thing, starting when you call sun4i_defconfig until you call uImage |
| 16:51.47 | cromo | just a sec, it's compiling now |

| 16:53.58 | cromo | thx |
| 16:54.07 | cromo | I was wondering why does it continue ;) |
| 16:54.34 | penguin42 | -j32 is run 32 compiles in parallel - you might want to back it off if your build machine isn't as chunky as mnemoc's |
| 16:54.35 | mnemoc | you had another 31 workers finishing their taks :) |
| 16:54.42 | cromo | yeah |
| 16:55.22 | mnemoc | in general pick a -j between the numbers of cores and the double of it |
| 16:55.46 | cromo | build.sh script sets it to no of cores in system |
| 16:55.48 | penguin42 | wants mnemoc's 16 core box |
| 16:55.48 | mnemoc | but when hunting an error, drop -j |
| 16:55.58 | specing | Only 16? |

| 16:59.20 | cromo | I am hangovered today, things are a little blurry |
| 16:59.23 | mnemoc | apply this http://dpaste.com/735644/ |
| 16:59.31 | mnemoc | to get a safer defconfig |
| 16:59.48 | cromo | I did when you said, now I remember I did git clean |
| 16:59.59 | cromo | so it got reverted |
| 17:00.16 | mnemoc | save the .diff :) |
| 17:00.21 | mnemoc | or... commit it |
| 17:00.27 | mnemoc | but don't push |
| 17:00.42 | mnemoc | because it's a temporal hack |
| 17:00.50 | mnemoc | to have less noisy builds |
| 17:03.13 | cromo | had it saved, too, but again, git clean removed it anyway ;) |
| 17:13.31 | cromo | any reason for these USB mass storage readers to be configured as compiled into kernel? |
| 17:15.03 | mnemoc | I enabled none myself... so they come from the original defconfig from allwinner |
| 17:15.04 | cromo | it's probably from allwinners |
| 17:54.22 | cromo | drivers/net/sun4i/sun4i_wemac.c:1876:6: error: ‘struct net_device’ has no member named ‘poll_controller’ |
| 17:57.12 | mnemoc | very odd |

| 17:57.25 | mnemoc | when what config setting enables poll_controller |
| 17:57.30 | mnemoc | s/when/check/ |
| 17:57.32 | cromo | maybe I mised something |
| 17:57.58 | mnemoc | look for the definition of the struct |
| 17:58.19 | mnemoc | the field has to be in an #ifdef #endif block |
| 17:58.33 | mnemoc | and for some reason that's false for you |
| 18:15.12 | cromo | it was because I enabled netconsole |

| 20:25.31 | cromo | is this expected? |
