| 08:33.15 | lundman | hello oliver from .nl |
| 08:33.33 | oliv3r | Appearantly they are spamming Allwinner to get 'more' support on the VPU core in the A10 |

| 08:33.54 | lundman | oh yes, I saw that petition |
| 08:33.57 | lundman | someone did post it on irc here |
| 08:34.13 | oliv3r | ah! :) well allwinner is actually replying to e-mails from people :) |
| 08:34.29 | lundman | really? so like, only 5 people? |

| 11:00.34 | oliv3r | but why would I buy A10 hardware from rhombus-tech when I allready have working hardware from $random_mfg :p |

| 11:01.19 | oliv3r | mnemoc: ah okay. Well I just read his mission-statement, find a hardware manufacturer that wil build boards, if he focuses on the software |
| 11:01.42 | mnemoc | the idea is to have user replaceable "CPU cards" and devices to connect these cars |
| 11:01.46 | oliv3r | and found that a good and noble cause to support |

| 11:07.41 | oliv3r | I think they make an awesome chip, it just lacks proper driver support atm. I think the arm bit is fine, the GPU bit is 'wip' 2d works ok/well 3d is being worked on by the lima project; VPU (cedarX) .... nothing but required |
| 11:09.12 | rm | if you want to know what 'lacks proper driver support' means, take a look at Telechips or Rockchip :) |
| 11:09.41 | mnemoc | rm: telechips actually released their sources one or two days ago |
| 11:09.55 | rm | 2 days ago and it's 3.0.8 afaik |

| 11:10.50 | rm | with a massively smaller hacker-base |
| 11:11.07 | rm | also, does it boot any user-made image from an SD card like the A10 does? |

| 11:13.01 | rm | exactly :) |
| 11:13.50 | ZaEarl | That's great to see another company releasing source! |
| 11:14.02 | mnemoc | indeed |
| 11:20.17 | oliv3r | it's probably only the arm bits. i'm betting no 2d and deffinatly no 3d bit is released with that, let alone any video-decoder (if they even have that) :( but a++ for effort |
| 11:26.01 | rm | openness is not just about releasing the source |

| 12:52.40 | mnemoc | i really doubt it can do both things at the same time |
| 13:01.26 | hackandfab | I looked at the code at https://github.com/amery/allwinner-a10-video and there are no overlaping funcions. Also there is no boolean IOCTL. I mean the code looks like it could be posible but I don't know if the hardware could. |
| 13:02.11 | hackandfab | I meant there isn't a IOCTL parameter that is 0 or 1 to encode or decode. |
| 13:03.23 | hackandfab | so if the chip can't encode and decode at the same time, there is nothing in the code that prevents this |
| 13:05.05 | mnemoc | test it :) |

| 16:42.48 | thefrog | What does the A10 product page mean by multi-channel display? |
| 16:44.10 | mnemoc | thefrog: probably that you can have separated outputs at the same time |
| 16:45.09 | thefrog | mnemoc: so rendering to an LCD and an HDMI output at the same time.. or overlaying two decode streams on the same video output? |
| 16:47.34 | mnemoc | i think both... |
| 16:47.43 | mnemoc | but i've not played with either |
| 16:48.47 | thefrog | mnemoc: i am trying to tamp down any excitement. I have an Mele a100 on the way. If it works, I'd like to get a few of the tablet designs to play with |
| 16:49.04 | Turl | ping mnemoc |
| 16:49.59 | mnemoc | Turl: hi, can you give the new wip/linux-sunxi-3.0/mem a test? |
| 16:50.45 | mnemoc | moved all the memory reserving changes to a different branch, until we find something that works :< |
| 16:51.23 | mnemoc | Turl: I stole your CONFIG_SUNXI_MALI_SIZE hack for now |
| 16:55.14 | Turl | mnemoc: after thinking about it some time, the kconfig approach isn't so good, I'd do it inside core.c and set config_sunxi_mali_size there |
| 16:55.28 | Turl | if you disable mali it'd still reserve the memory on the kconfig approach |
| 16:56.23 | *** join/#arm-netbook penguin42 (~dg@tu006.demon.co.uk) |
| 16:57.15 | mnemoc | i think fixup is even too early even for checking script.bin |
| 16:57.23 | mnemoc | as we do in .reserve |
| 16:58.14 | mnemoc | but I can't find a way to get rid of the .fixup hackery |
| 16:58.59 | *** join/#arm-netbook gimli (~gimli@xbmc/staff/gimli) |
| 16:59.10 | mnemoc | and would like to have something that... "does the job" merged |
| 17:00.39 | Turl | mnemoc: something like http://pastebin.com/t6iZBXdL |
| 17:01.17 | Turl | I failed @ one of the defines on the pastebin even :) |
| 17:01.22 | mnemoc | so you only want to avoid the extra CONFIG_ |
| 17:01.34 | Turl | yeah and make it more dynamic |
| 17:01.39 | Turl | if your defconfig has the size stuff |
| 17:01.44 | Turl | then you disable mali |
| 17:01.52 | Turl | it'll still have the size stuff |
| 17:02.09 | Turl | with the #if inside the code it'll refresh dynamically |
| 17:02.35 | mnemoc | #if is compile-time |
| 17:02.41 | mnemoc | nothing dynamic there |
| 17:03.05 | Turl | what I meant is, the kconfig is kinda set in stone on your config |
| 17:03.12 | mnemoc | but you protect yourself from someone setting a random number |
| 17:03.15 | Turl | the if switches depending on the mali config only |
| 17:03.55 | mnemoc | doesn't see the difference |
| 17:04.22 | mnemoc | beside saving one line in .config |
| 17:04.27 | Turl | mnemoc: enable mali, have the stuff allocate ram. then disable mali |
| 17:04.39 | Turl | mnemoc: on #if, ram won't be allocated. on kconfig, it will |
| 17:04.49 | mnemoc | ah, ok |
| 17:05.07 | mnemoc | this is more *reliable* than Kconfig, yes |
| 17:08.27 | mnemoc | Turl: http://dpaste.com/772694/ |
| 17:08.56 | mnemoc | Turl: something like that? |
| 17:13.29 | RaYmAn | Turl: if you made config SUNXI_MALI_SIZE depend on MALI, wouldn't it take care of it as well? kernel config should automatically remove it if mali is disabled then... |
| 17:14.15 | mnemoc | isn't the 'default' only used when the variable is first set? |
| 17:14.27 | mnemoc | ah, meh |
| 17:14.32 | mnemoc | forget what I said |
| 17:15.20 | RaYmAn | you could do something like #ifdef CONFIG_SUNXI_MALI_SIZE mali = CONFIG_SUNXI_MALI_SIZE #endif, and have CONFIG_SUNXI_MALI_SIZE depend on CONFIG_MALI? Surely that would have same effect. |
| 17:15.38 | RaYmAn | (but this only takes care of the argument about allocating memory still if you disable mali) |
| 17:15.39 | mnemoc | RaYmAn: http://dpaste.com/772694/ |
| 17:16.13 | mnemoc | there you have the old proposal as - and a replacement as + |
| 17:16.16 | Turl | no need to have an int named mali mnemoc |
| 17:16.22 | Turl | you can use #define |
| 17:16.24 | RaYmAn | yeah, I saw it :) I was just mostly pulling apart Turl's argument for going that direction instead |
| 17:16.47 | mnemoc | Turl: sure it's not needed, but looks cleaner :p |
| 17:16.47 | Turl | RaYmAn: yeah but then on non-mali it wouldn't be 0 but undefined instead |
| 17:16.48 | traeak | whatever you pick may stick :-p |
| 17:17.07 | RaYmAn | Turl: yes - but that's easily fixable in source file |
| 17:17.19 | Turl | RaYmAn: crapton of ifdefs? :D |
| 17:17.21 | RaYmAn | #ifdef #else mali =0 |
| 17:17.41 | RaYmAn | Turl: no, exactly the same amount as in the second proposal |
| 17:17.41 | Turl | mnemoc: anyway the compiler can optimize those constants I think? :) |
| 17:17.42 | RaYmAn | :P |
| 17:18.25 | mnemoc | Turl: "in dead code elimination we trust" |
| 17:19.03 | RaYmAn | I honeslty don't really care whether it's kconfig or statically defined (though - magic constants annoy me ;)) - was just the argument I didn't really like ;) |
| 17:19.16 | RaYmAn | also, yay! My n7 has been shipped :D |
| 17:19.47 | mnemoc | from uk? |
| 17:20.11 | RaYmAn | no, it's been shipped from google to the guy I bought it through |
| 17:20.21 | RaYmAn | should arrive tomorrow and then he can reship so it should be here around monday |
| 17:21.12 | Turl | RaYmAn: have him check if the screen doesn't bleed like no tomorrow :D |

| 19:58.01 | hno | RaYmAn, there is quite a bit of register documentation in the kernel sources. Collecting the pieces I find at https://github.com/hno/Allwinner-Info/tree/master/registers |
| 19:58.26 | hno | and the restricted access 400p document mnemoc mentioned. |
| 19:58.49 | RaYmAn | heh |
| 20:02.31 | hno | the kernel sources is the authorative source for information. |
| 20:03.21 | hno | allwinner apparently have additional internal documentation somewhere. Tom was able to dig out basic watchdog details not available anywhere known outside Allwinner. |
| 20:03.37 | hno | (magic numbers needed to make the watchdog actually work) |
| 20:04.20 | thefrog | . OK. I got the diffs and see the driver work. I might be able to do something on this when I get my hardware. At least I have something to read until then. |
| 20:05.11 | hno | RaYmAn, intention is to transform all those headers into a register map. See http://rhombus-tech.net/allwinner_a10/A10_register_guide/ |
| 20:05.17 | RaYmAn | yeah |
| 20:05.19 | RaYmAn | would be cool |
| 20:05.56 | hno | doing piece by piece as needed, which also happens to be those pieces which is not covered in the 400p Allwinner register guide. |
| 20:07.32 | hno | For A13 there won't even be a restricted access register guide available. |
| 20:08.08 | hno | no idea what the situation will be like for Allwinner A15 when it comes out. |
| 20:09.08 | thefrog | hno: is there any chance that the j1nx/gimli thing will actually open them up a bit? |
| 20:10.36 | gimli | thefrog: nope. they requested me to write them, did it. no anwser. my standpoind is allwinner can fuck off |
| 20:11.23 | thefrog | gimli: i expect it will take them a week to digest your response. then I guess you will get a few conflicting communications. |
| 20:12.16 | thefrog | then it will either work or won't work. |
| 20:12.19 | gimli | i alrady started last week official contact to them. only one mail back, in the rest silence |
