| 12:40.19 | lundman | basically, it uses byte access to read/write, but has to all be 32bit |
| 12:40.42 | lundman | there is code that reads mac address elsewhere, so the source can probably be figured out |

| 14:21.21 | mnemoc | oliv3r: there is one open and one closed |
| 14:21.24 | oliv3r | uboot-allwiner tree* |
| 14:21.26 | mnemoc | uboot's is open |
| 14:21.38 | oliv3r | but uboot requires SPL to chainloot it? |
| 14:22.07 | mnemoc | from NAND they use boot0/boot1 for that |
| 14:22.17 | mnemoc | which are closed |
| 14:22.23 | oliv3r | oh :( |
| 14:22.30 | mnemoc | from mmc we use u-boot's spl |
| 14:22.38 | mnemoc | from hno's |
| 14:22.41 | oliv3r | Ah, u-boot offers SPL, nice |
| 14:23.00 | oliv3r | so why is boot0 and boot1 closed? And why can't SPL work from nand? (I have no technical background in this, just am curious) |
| 14:23.10 | mnemoc | eventually one day we will get rid of boot0/boot1 |
| 14:23.49 | mnemoc | boot0/boot1 are closed because allwinner decided so |
| 14:24.16 | oliv3r | duh :p but is there any technical reason to keep those closed? Would u-boot's nand-SPL replace them? |
| 14:24.37 | mnemoc | eventually, it will |
| 14:24.45 | mnemoc | once it matures enough |
| 14:25.23 | oliv3r | So nand-SPL isn't as stable as the regular SPL (both from u-boot)? |
| 14:25.40 | oliv3r | so in an opensource sense, mmc boot is prefered to nand boot? |
| 14:25.56 | mnemoc | it's more about lack of time and documentation |
| 14:26.13 | mnemoc | but yes, if you want to boot free, boot from mmc |
| 14:26.55 | oliv3r | documentation from allwinner? or u-boot? (I assume lack of documentation of allwiner) |
| 14:27.01 | mnemoc | there are other priorities at the moment than integrating sunxi-nand into out main uboot branch |
| 14:27.23 | mnemoc | like proper dram and pmu initialization |
| 14:27.40 | oliv3r | the leaked datasheet going to help with that? |
| 14:27.57 | mnemoc | nope |
| 14:28.13 | mnemoc | it has some info, but it's very incomplete in most areas |

| 14:58.54 | Turl | I was trying macaddr, no wonder it didn't work :) |
| 14:59.52 | Turl | mnemoc: hm with this kernel built into archlinux I can reboot fine and serial doesn't break |
| 15:00.28 | mnemoc | Turl: old uboot :) |
| 15:00.48 | mnemoc | with the world hardcoded |
| 15:01.10 | Turl | mnemoc: but it broke on linux, not uboot |
| 15:01.22 | Turl | I'll try upgrading the kernel later and will let you know if it breaks |
| 15:01.49 | mnemoc | Turl: we are clearly talking about different problems |
| 15:01.54 | hno | is using quite different clock settings in later u-boot versions. |

| 15:17.23 | WarheadsSE | by default, that may be |
| 15:17.30 | WarheadsSE | should be simple to change :) |
| 15:17.30 | Turl | which prints a kernel warning every once in a while because some kthread is stuck :| |
| 15:17.44 | Turl | yeah |

| 15:25.43 | WarheadsSE | Turl: simply put, see the github for the package. |
| 15:26.07 | WarheadsSE | github.com/archlinuxarm/PKGBUILDs/blob/core/linux-sun4i/config |
| 15:26.37 | WarheadsSE | there is the config file as I have it, I have personally buil 3.0.42, but havent gotten a lot of testing time into it yet |
| 15:26.59 | WarheadsSE | Right now, Ihave it grabbing the tarball @ the commit target, and building from there. |
| 15:28.19 | Turl | WarheadsSE: btw I noticed updating the kernel with pacman doesn't update it, I had to cp it manually to the other partition |
| 15:28.32 | Turl | not sure if that's intended or not |
| 15:28.37 | WarheadsSE | Yeah, it's as simple as an fstab entry |
| 15:28.44 | WarheadsSE | It is semi-intended. |
| 15:29.01 | WarheadsSE | Otherwise we'd have to make a zillion filesystem packages just to cover teh fstab entries. |
| 15:29.51 | Turl | :) |
| 15:30.20 | Turl | I guess I'll just scp my kernel to the first partition and skip arch for now :P |
| 15:30.36 | WarheadsSE | ? |
| 15:30.46 | WarheadsSE | You mean the in-the-repo kernels |
| 15:31.13 | Turl | I can't make much sense of the scripts |
| 15:31.15 | WarheadsSE | Yeah, you can always use your own kernels in the normal way. They just won't be tracked unless you make a package of it. |
| 15:31.38 | Turl | I mean, in debian 'the right way' is using make-kpkg and installing the generated .deb |
| 15:31.42 | Turl | to keep stuff clean |
| 15:31.53 | WarheadsSE | thats the same way with Arch |
| 15:31.56 | WarheadsSE | just makepkg |
| 15:32.02 | WarheadsSE | and pkg.tar.xz |

| 15:37.04 | mnemoc | what the... |
| 15:38.09 | Turl | WarheadsSE: does arch automatically set it up on start for me? |
| 15:38.33 | WarheadsSE | You'll have to add it to the start config |
| 15:38.38 | WarheadsSE | systemd or sysvinit .. |
| 15:38.49 | Turl | systemctl enable ntpd.service according to the wiki |
| 15:38.50 | WarheadsSE | ls /etc/rc.d/ |
| 15:39.12 | WarheadsSE | if that isnt found, systemd * might be in the image. I can't remember if I uploaded a new one. |
| 15:39.36 | Turl | when I pacman -Syu it asked me if I wanted systemd I think |
| 15:39.53 | WarheadsSE | Then you probably not that far along |
| 15:40.01 | WarheadsSE | I need to clean /update that image |
| 15:40.32 | Turl | how do you run it though? |
| 15:40.36 | Turl | $ systemctl start ntpd |
| 15:40.37 | Turl | Failed to get D-Bus connection: No connection to service manager. |

| 15:43.28 | hno | mnemoc, regarding https://github.com/amery/linux-allwinner/commit/9290665dd3c5cf32843807bffea282dbfd48ee74#L0L1266 |
| 15:43.59 | hno | the DM9000 register names should not be there. It is not a DM9000 MAC. |
| 15:44.52 | hno | And the specific line looks safe to me. But if you are worried then keep the if(!Rxcount) part. |
| 15:47.09 | mnemoc | hno: the part that bothers me is the removal of the delay in the second try |
| 15:49.28 | Turl | mnemoc: I've been using the patch on my repo for quite a bit on my mele |
| 15:49.39 | Turl | doing heavy networking (torrents, nfs) |
| 15:49.42 | Turl | and it's been fine |
| 15:50.21 | Turl | mnemoc: and I have just built with yours and I can still ssh to it |
| 15:53.26 | mnemoc | "it's good because it didn't crash" :) |
| 15:53.44 | mnemoc | i did that test too |
| 15:54.22 | Turl | mnemoc: you forgot the "and it performs better" bit :P |
| 15:54.34 | mnemoc | :) |
| 15:57.15 | mnemoc | and why do we need a dummy read at all if the second happens only some microseconds later |
| 15:57.42 | mnemoc | i have no clue, but it feels wrong |
| 15:59.01 | traeak | ahh nice, i sold off my rpi (whee!) one thing, at least they haven't lost value (hehe) |
| 16:03.22 | hno | mnemoc, It's not a big deal if RxCount is missed there. |
| 16:03.45 | hno | but a delay is unlikely to help when it is. |
| 16:05.39 | Turl | WarheadsSE: hm, I cannot ping |
| 16:05.47 | Turl | I need to run ping as root |
| 16:05.47 | hno | I think I know what that is about. The second read is not needed either. Instead it should check the rx count ater enabling interrupts again in the if(!Rxcount) block further down. |
| 16:05.53 | mnemoc | Turl: android kernel on linux? |
| 16:06.06 | Turl | mnemoc: I have paranoid network disabled, so it's not that |
| 16:06.13 | WarheadsSE | might be something in the setopts turl |
| 16:07.17 | Turl | hm WarheadsSE https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=146249 |
| 16:07.27 | Turl | apparently getcap should show some stuff |
| 16:07.39 | hno | mnemoc, there is race window between reading the rx count register and enabling interrupts. |
| 16:07.42 | Turl | but all I get is 'Failed to get capabilities of file `/usr/bin/ping' (Operation not supported)' |
| 16:08.04 | mnemoc | hno: :( |
| 16:08.22 | hno | mnemoc, why so sad? |
| 16:08.28 | WarheadsSE | Turl: looks like an upstream issue :p |
| 16:08.34 | hno | code is easy to follow. |
| 16:08.43 | t0dbld|work | <PROTECTED> |
| 16:08.57 | hno | Rxcount = readl(db->emac_vbase + EMAC_RX_FBC_REG); |
| 16:08.57 | mnemoc | hno: haven't looked at it yet. only the diff |
| 16:08.59 | WarheadsSE | Hmm.. looks like maybe caps arent set on the fs you as using/ |
| 16:09.26 | mnemoc | hno: no EINTR in this world? |
| 16:09.29 | Turl | I followed the alarm instructions WarheadsSE |
| 16:09.32 | hno | and then if(!Rxcount){ [..] writel(reg_val, db->emac_vbase + EMAC_INT_CTL_REG); |
| 16:09.38 | mnemoc | hno: meh, ignore that |
| 16:09.45 | WarheadsSE | Turl: I'll check my config |
| 16:09.55 | Turl | /dev/root on / type ext4 (rw,relatime,user_xattr,barrier=1,data=ordered) |
| 16:10.07 | Turl | might be my kernel config though, do I need anything special? |
| 16:10.23 | Turl | I reused my old mele-as-server config |
| 16:10.43 | hno | mnemoc, and in wemac_interrupt, writel(0, db->emac_vbase + EMAC_INT_CTL_REG); /* Disable all interrupt */ |
| 16:11.01 | WarheadsSE | Ah, if your kernel config doesn't have ext4 filled out, then yes |
| 16:11.15 | WarheadsSE | fill out for xattr/acl/security |
| 16:11.28 | WarheadsSE | https://github.com/archlinuxarm/PKGBUILDs/blob/master/core/linux-sun4i/config#L2442 |
| 16:11.31 | hno | The sleep (and retried read) most likely only changes timing so that one test pattern do not catch this race window. |
| 16:11.55 | mnemoc | hno: shouldn't it solve itself in the next loop? |
| 16:12.10 | hno | There is no next loop. It solves itself on next packet. |
| 16:12.21 | hno | the loop is terminated on !Rxcount |
| 16:12.34 | mnemoc | ah, got it |
| 16:13.06 | hno | there is a receive queue of some (10+) KB of packets. |
| 16:13.24 | hno | Rxcount is the number of packets in queue. |
| 16:14.56 | mnemoc | right. so we remove the second readl() and let the second packet release the first |
| 16:15.48 | hno | yes, but on a quiet network you never know when that is. |
| 16:17.50 | hno | Better to close the race window, making sure the rxcount is checked again after enabling interrupts. |
| 16:18.54 | Turl | WarheadsSE: yep that was it :) reinstalled ping and it works now |
| 16:19.00 | Turl | wonder how many other tools I broke though :P |
| 16:19.20 | WarheadsSE | shrug |
| 16:19.35 | WarheadsSE | the set/getopt are kernel level, not FS level. |
| 16:19.50 | WarheadsSE | So, the data should still be in the file |
| 16:20.09 | Turl | WarheadsSE: maybe my desktop didn't have it either when I made the image? idk |
| 16:20.48 | Turl | ping on my desktop has +s |
| 16:23.23 | Turl | 9/499MB of RAM used :) |
| 16:23.51 | hno | Turl, how did you make the image? |
| 16:24.32 | WarheadsSE | pretty much my base rootfs, plus his kernel |
| 16:24.46 | Turl | hno: followed the guide on http://archlinuxarm.org/platforms/armv7/mele-a100 |
| 16:25.00 | Turl | then upgraded it with pacman -Syu to be on the latest |
| 16:25.21 | Turl | then built a kernel with mali & all the others disabled and copied it on the boot partition as uImage |
| 16:25.40 | Turl | and I disabled all the ttyX too |
| 16:25.49 | Turl | left just the one on ttyS0 |
| 16:26.09 | WarheadsSE | Makes sense, there are several things we don't change from upstream Arch, such as that. |

| 16:35.59 | mnemoc | :) |
| 16:37.43 | hno | mnemoc, yes, should do it. |
| 16:39.14 | hno | the sleep that was there only shrinks the race window by sacrifying general system performance under network load |
| 16:40.19 | hno | now there is another race that may cause repeated interrupt on an already processed packet, but that should be harmless. |
| 16:41.31 | hno | protected by skb_last=NULL in start of wemac_rx |

| 16:50.12 | mnemoc | what device? |
| 16:50.23 | drachensun | Its an OEM A10 Tablet |
| 16:51.34 | mnemoc | the patch WarheadsSE is refering to won't apply to a recent uboot |
| 16:52.38 | WarheadsSE | mnemoc: so I should update the uboot I have, just to be sure? |
| 16:53.15 | drachensun | I can always try to modify it, better than what i've got now |
| 16:53.25 | mnemoc | WarheadsSE: it's safer to keep what you have, until all the new PMU setup matures a bit |
| 16:53.32 | WarheadsSE | K |
| 16:54.00 | mnemoc | drachensun: get a recent copy of sunxi-tools, from amery's github |
| 16:54.01 | hno | drachensun, disable the kernel hack overriding memory configuration. Update u-boot arc/arm/cpu/armv7/sunxi/dram.c with your board details (thiss will move elsewhere shortly). |
| 16:54.38 | hno | trouble is finding the right board details. |
| 16:54.43 | drachensun | ok, so this all in the kernel not uboot? |
| 16:54.55 | hno | it's both. |
| 16:55.17 | mnemoc | hno: I started https://github.com/linux-sunxi/sunxi-boards with those I have... cubieboard NULLs got replaced by real values |
| 16:55.41 | hno | uboot needs to configure the memory controller correctly for your dram. |
| 16:55.53 | mnemoc | hno: but there are a couple hundred devices from which we don't have .fex files |
| 16:56.39 | drachensun | I'm going to submit a few later today |
| 16:56.53 | hno | mnemoc, i know. |
| 16:57.31 | hno | we have a couple options there, nothing unsolvable. |
| 16:59.26 | hno | one is using livesuite, another figuring out how to read the nand. a third is replicating the probing done by livesuit |
| 17:00.03 | hno | a fourth is guessing. It's not rocket science. |
| 17:00.50 | hno | if you know how many chips, what chips and the data which is available in the fex then you have all data needed. |
| 17:01.41 | drachensun | I can see I've got 4 ram chips, so do I need to set for DCR_TWO_RANKS? |
| 17:02.38 | hno | if those are 16 bit chips yes. |
| 17:03.00 | hno | what device do you have? |
| 17:03.35 | drachensun | oem A10 tablet, let me search the chip part numbers |
| 17:03.44 | jquip | mnemoc, hno: There are a couple of fex files at https://github.com/cnxsoft/a10-config if you need em |
| 17:03.54 | mnemoc | drachensun: the [dram_para] section of your script.bin has the data. and `fexc` from sunxi-tools can generate the struct for you |
| 17:04.00 | hno | jquip, mnemoc ^^ |
| 17:04.28 | jquip | we can always ask everyone here to submit their fex files... we should have a lot more then :) |
| 17:04.40 | mnemoc | jquip: thanks |
| 17:04.56 | jquip | awww shucks |
| 17:05.39 | hno | jquip, problem is that dram parameters in script.bin is optional and many new devices leave it blank. |
| 17:05.42 | drachensun | the density, rank num, io width and bus width are all blank |
| 17:05.50 | drachensun | yup like mine |
| 17:06.29 | drachensun | ok, I found the chip, 2Gb |
| 17:06.59 | hno | drachensun, if you have u-boot console then it's possible to dump them. |
| 17:07.21 | drachensun | I have a console |
| 17:07.35 | drachensun | hno: how can I do that? |
| 17:07.36 | jquip | hno: so we need to have default params for them ? how are they being filled in by the android system? |
| 17:07.40 | mnemoc | drachensun: that's why we don't only need to collect .fex files, but to fix them to be reliable :< |
| 17:07.54 | hno | then boot to nand u-boot, and then dump the memory region where boot1 was loaded. |
| 17:08.10 | mnemoc | jquip: livesuit (their NAND flashing too) detects the values |
| 17:08.17 | mnemoc | tool* |
| 17:09.06 | jquip | hrmm... we need our own then.. |
| 17:09.33 | hno | md.b 0x42400000 0x82d0 |
| 17:09.50 | jquip | i mean some probe of sorts... |
| 17:09.50 | hno | convert the dump to a binary file and use bootinfo from sunxitools to decode. |
| 17:10.30 | hno | or visually inspect. dram_para is at offset 0x4c. |
| 17:10.44 | mnemoc | and don't forget to write down your new knowledge in http://linux-sunxi.org :) |
| 17:11.43 | drachensun | ok |
| 17:11.56 | drachensun | at 0x4c I've got 00 00 00 40 |
| 17:11.57 | hno | http://fpaste.org/MpEu/ is example data from an Olinuxino A13. |
| 17:12.09 | hno | yes, that.s fine. |
| 17:12.16 | hno | md.l might be easier to read actually. |
| 17:12.47 | drachensun | 40000000 |
| 17:12.57 | mnemoc | baseaddr |
| 17:13.25 | drachensun | I never figured out how to paste from Gtkterm |
| 17:13.32 | drachensun | oh wait, I'll just save the log, hold on |
| 17:13.33 | mnemoc | drachensun: but bootinfo from sunxi-tools can show it nicer |
| 17:14.03 | hno | it maps 1-1 to the offsets shown in my paste. |
| 17:14.08 | drachensun | how do I dump this data to file? |
| 17:14.22 | mnemoc | copy&paste |
| 17:14.51 | drachensun | ok, your paste is perfect, I'll compare |
| 17:19.49 | drachensun | ok, so my bus width is 32 |
| 17:20.40 | drachensun | well the kernel is already set for that |
| 17:26.33 | drachensun | here is mine |
| 17:26.34 | drachensun | http://fpaste.org/hzIy/ |
| 17:27.37 | drachensun | how does bootinfo expect the file to formatted |
| 17:28.02 | mnemoc | bin only |
| 17:34.41 | mnemoc | drachensun: http://linux.die.net/man/1/xxd |
| 17:35.56 | drachensun | well I've gone through all the values manually and figured out what they were |
| 17:36.27 | mnemoc | :) |
| 17:36.29 | drachensun | <PROTECTED> |
| 17:36.56 | mnemoc | those values go in uboot's dram.c |
| 17:36.57 | hno | kernel config? |
| 17:37.01 | drachensun | but yeah, I didn't know xxd could do a 'reverse dump' I guess you would call it |
| 17:37.02 | mnemoc | nothing to do with the kernel |
| 17:37.10 | drachensun | ah |
| 17:37.26 | drachensun | wait |
| 17:37.34 | mnemoc | you can also use them to fix your [dram_para] in script.fex |
| 17:37.35 | drachensun | I've got too many windows open, give me a sec |
| 17:37.49 | drachensun | yeah, I did that while I was converting the numbers |
| 17:38.07 | hno | putting the hex in dram.c is fine. |
| 17:38.54 | hno | even if some are normally seen as decimal numbers. |
| 17:39.09 | drachensun | I am in the sunxi branch, not the sun4i branch, does that make a differnce? because the file I have is dram-sun4i.c |
| 17:39.59 | hno | there is no dram-sun4i.c file since some days. |
| 17:40.09 | drachensun | so thats not good, let me switch branches |
| 17:40.18 | hno | sunxi is the right branch. |
| 17:40.37 | hno | when did you last pull from github? |
| 17:41.17 | drachensun | I'm actually in sun4i |
| 17:41.52 | hno | there is no dram-sun4i.c in sun4i either. Only oldish sunxi. |
| 17:42.29 | drachensun | I've only been at this for 2 weeks or so, I think I pulled originally on the 18th of sept |
| 17:42.40 | drachensun | ok, let met just get it all caught up real quick |
| 17:42.42 | hno | much happened since then. |
| 17:42.49 | drachensun | fair enough |
| 17:46.25 | hno | Date: Fri Sep 28 12:56:22 2012 +0200 |
| 17:46.25 | hno | <PROTECTED> |
| 17:46.45 | drachensun | lol |
| 17:47.00 | drachensun | oops |
| 17:48.29 | Turl | WarheadsSE: no eatmydata on arch? dealbreaker! |
| 17:48.46 | hno | before sun4i had parameters coded at register format, not so easily changed |
| 17:48.54 | WarheadsSE | Turl: que? |
| 17:48.58 | WarheadsSE | looks |
| 17:49.16 | WarheadsSE | https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=56172 |
| 17:49.29 | WarheadsSE | more specifically |
| 17:49.31 | WarheadsSE | https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=56170 |
| 17:50.43 | Turl | WarheadsSE: I suck at using the search then on pacman hm |
| 17:50.49 | Turl | pacman -Qs was it? |
| 17:51.23 | Turl | hm nope, Ss, but still no results |
| 17:52.12 | WarheadsSE | -Q is local |
| 17:52.15 | WarheadsSE | -S is repo |
| 17:52.22 | WarheadsSE | thats an AUR package though |
| 17:53.25 | Turl | not on pacman? :/ |
| 17:53.35 | drachensun | ok its freezing at 'jumping to U-boot' |
| 17:53.49 | drachensun | weird, let me see if I didn't copy something right |
| 17:54.01 | Turl | WarheadsSE: what does ' aur is up to date' on -Syu mean then? |
| 17:54.54 | drachensun | hno: should I build for target sun4i or sunxi now? |
| 17:55.14 | hno | sun4i for a10, sun5i for a13 |
| 17:55.23 | drachensun | ok, its an a10 |
| 17:56.19 | drachensun | did the default jump addresses change or anything? |
| 17:57.26 | WarheadsSE | we have some packages from the AUR that are pulled from AUR into our Github and built, because of large changes that need made for arm, or because we have enough people trying to build a very large package |
| 18:00.51 | Turl | installs compilers on mele :P |
| 18:01.05 | Turl | WarheadsSE: is there anything to be notified of updates to stuff on aur? |
| 18:01.33 | WarheadsSE | I am not sure |
| 18:03.22 | drachensun | did maybe the terminal output settings change? |
| 18:03.24 | WarheadsSE | Turl: base-devel :) |
| 18:03.37 | Turl | yeah that's what I'm installing :) |
| 18:03.52 | Turl | takes a lot to install on my slow sdcard though :p |
| 18:05.36 | hno | drachensun, much change, but if you see SPL output then the UART settings are right. |
| 18:06.55 | hno | and I don't think I have broken sun4i after it was last tested. |
| 18:07.31 | drachensun | ok, if I let my onboard system boot then reset I get a boot loop after spl, if I just hard reset with the card in it tries one and freezes after spl |
| 18:07.55 | hno | hm. |
| 18:08.23 | hno | not nice. |
| 18:08.34 | drachensun | I mean the boot loop happens by putting in the sd card then resetting |
| 18:08.38 | drachensun | if that gives any clues |
| 18:08.40 | drachensun | ok |
| 18:08.44 | hno | i understood that. |
| 18:08.49 | drachensun | ok |
| 18:10.37 | hno | sorry, not much ideas to try assuming you got the dram parameters right. |
| 18:11.08 | drachensun | does u-boot try to do that setup before it post any messages? |
| 18:11.43 | hno | yes, but SPL is running from SRAM mostly, while full u-boot is loaded into DRAM and executed from there. |
| 18:12.22 | hno | SPL surives most DRAM configuration errors. |
| 18:12.38 | hno | full u-boot some. |
| 18:12.44 | hno | linux kernel very few. |
| 18:12.57 | drachensun | something to start with then, ok |
| 18:13.22 | hno | does it surive on the default parameters? |
| 18:13.48 | hno | those should be the same as used in sun4i branch. |
| 18:14.25 | drachensun | well at first I tried it before copying my new script.bin back |
| 18:14.48 | drachensun | so with the factory script.bin it had the same behavior as my new one with the dram values filled in |
| 18:15.38 | drachensun | is there another way to try and run with the default values? |
| 18:22.42 | hno | do the sun4i branch work? |
| 18:22.52 | hno | except for dram size |
| 18:24.19 | drachensun | building now |
| 18:28.08 | drachensun | hmmm no it doesn't and I see you have no new commits since before my previous work |
| 18:28.31 | hno | Hm.. the dram clock in your boot1 data is very high. 432MHz. |
| 18:28.45 | hno | And io_width also looks wrong. Should most likely be 8. |
| 18:29.27 | hno | sun4i branch is only kept as reference. |
| 18:30.02 | hno | have not settled 100% on style of dram.c yet. Might switch to the style in sun4i later. But first need to get stuff working right. |
| 18:30.07 | mnemoc | hno: the cubies is 480 |
| 18:30.18 | hno | it is? |
| 18:30.48 | mnemoc | initially it was 408, but they changed it to 480 |
| 18:32.57 | hno | data sheet says it supports up to 400. (400 DDR is 800) |
| 18:33.08 | mnemoc | https://github.com/matson-hall/allwinner-pack-tools/blob/cubieboard/pack/chips/sun4i/configs/linux/cubieboard/sys_config1.fex#L83 |
| 18:33.55 | drachensun | well this make no sense, I reverted to sun4i which hasn't had updates and I reverted by bin file and still it wont start |
| 18:34.37 | drachensun | heh and I just booted from nand to make nothing is fried, it boots right up |
| 18:34.43 | drachensun | ugh |
| 18:35.36 | rm | try pulling and reinserting the SD card |
| 18:35.47 | rm | the card/slot can be ugh'y that's for sure |
| 18:35.56 | *** join/#arm-netbook cat_n9 (~communi@37-136-167-166.nat.bb.dnainternet.fi) |
| 18:36.29 | drachensun | its been in and out and bunch of times for all these versions I've been testing |
| 18:39.44 | drachensun | my fork works |
| 18:41.41 | drachensun | my fork doesn't seem to make since though, the branch is sun4i but if I look at the commits its looks like hno:sunxi splitting on sept 12 |
| 18:41.55 | drachensun | so I was really in sunxi from then |
| 18:42.16 | *** join/#arm-netbook revident (~scott@fw.iplink.net) |
| 18:42.32 | drachensun | I guess I will inch up the sunxi branch and see which commit it is |
| 18:53.50 | hno | drachensun, "git config" shows which branch you are default pulling from. |
| 18:54.25 | hno | git config -l |
| 18:56.56 | hno | sun4i was pretty much unchanged in sunxi until Sep 29. |
| 19:05.01 | drachensun | I was using sunxi, it just got mislabeled in my fork so yeah, the unify dram commit is when it stopped working |
| 19:05.15 | drachensun | and something since fixed spl for me |
| 19:09.27 | drachensun | so its looks like most of these values are still hardcoded, in sunxi_dram_init, are they changed later? |
| 19:10.57 | drachensun | or wait, or is that where I need to put my custom settings? |
| 19:11.47 | hno | yes. |
| 19:12.02 | hno | It will move to a configurable header later on. |
| 19:12.39 | hno | hopefully will have just one binary for sunxi with different parameters. |
| 19:12.56 | hno | but at least just one binary for each cpu. |
| 19:13.59 | mnemoc | can you read the brom early enough from u-boot to get the chip-id? |
| 19:14.21 | hno | Yes, but still need the right DRAM parameters. |
| 19:15.11 | hno | will not look into magic probing until we have everything working with configured parameters. |
| 19:15.19 | mnemoc | yes, I was only thinking about branching sun4i vs sun5i before trying dram params |
| 19:15.26 | hno | and not all parameters can be probed. |
| 19:15.28 | mnemoc | sure |
| 19:15.59 | mnemoc | if it doesn't work perfect with the blessed struct of parameters... |
| 19:16.00 | hno | if we use the allwinner headers then brom based switch is needed. If using custom header no. |
| 19:16.22 | mnemoc | :) |
| 19:16.25 | hno | if having a single binary for both CPUs. |
| 19:16.44 | mnemoc | that would be ideal |
| 19:17.06 | hno | but as I said, not venturing into that before having things working well with. |
| 19:17.09 | mnemoc | but then you still face the door with script.bin/.dts |
| 19:19.27 | hno | Well, converting script.bin to dts is only little modification to your tool. |
| 19:19.43 | mnemoc | no no |
| 19:19.58 | mnemoc | I mean, the limit of the universal booting card |
| 19:20.39 | hno | I wonder what phoenixcard is doing nowdays. |
| 19:20.51 | mnemoc | even if u-boot and the kernel are multi-platform, one will still need to provide the right board config file |
| 19:21.23 | hno | it's also using boot0/boot1. But if DRAM parameters is no longer in the firmware image, how do phoenixcard know how to configure dram? |
| 19:21.31 | mnemoc | maybe the probing code isn't in livesuit but in the image |
| 19:21.52 | hno | I don't think so. boot0/boot1 stored in nand have the parameters set. |
| 19:22.32 | hno | and a phoenixcard created image boots via boot0 setting up DRAM and boot1 setting up the PMU & CPU clock like usual. |
| 19:22.40 | hno | with boot1 running from DRAM. |
| 19:22.49 | mnemoc | btw, https://github.com/matson-hall/allwinner-pack-tools/tree/cubieboard/pack/pctools/linux has recent tools |
| 19:23.16 | hno | tom published new tools? |
| 19:23.40 | mnemoc | yes. they use that one to produce buildroot livesuit images for the cubie |
| 19:24.05 | mnemoc | well... not tom, his friend "matson hall" |
| 19:24.28 | mnemoc | bin/build.sh is the trigger |
| 19:25.16 | drachensun | I've been wanting something like that, i tried building an image for livesuite and it was a disaster |
| 19:25.35 | mnemoc | :) |
| 19:25.48 | hno | the sdk have always had buildroot support. |
| 19:25.56 | hno | for a10, |
| 19:26.40 | mnemoc | allwinner-pack-tools, allwinner-buildroot and linux-allwinner in the same dir, and then ./allwinner-pack-tools/bin/build.sh to make it run |
| 19:26.43 | drachensun | I didn't realize buildroot would put out an image livesuite could use |
| 19:26.55 | mnemoc | hno: his allwinner-buildroot is actually a fork of yours |
| 19:27.15 | mnemoc | drachensun: buildroot can't, their packing tool does |
| 19:28.02 | hno | mine is just an import of the sdk. |
| 19:28.09 | mnemoc | :) |
| 19:28.53 | hno | haven't touched it at all. |
| 19:29.14 | mnemoc | he made some fixes, in the cubieboard branch |
| 19:34.25 | hno | mnemoc, also several kernel fixes. |
| 19:34.45 | mnemoc | hno: the sata fix I sent to me ML was from there |
| 19:35.10 | mnemoc | the other is a DMA related fix to the NAND I need to push |
| 19:35.36 | mnemoc | the fixes to the core are already included |
| 19:35.50 | mnemoc | the 8250 "fix" is... uhm |
| 19:36.06 | mnemoc | I have a 3.0 branch named cubie built with those |
| 19:37.06 | hno | any idea who it is? |
| 19:37.38 | mnemoc | a friend of tom |
| 19:38.51 | drachensun | are there any hardcodes outside of sunxi_dram_init I should check? |
| 19:38.55 | hno | Yes, but the NAND & PLL6 changes can not be done without information from Allwinner. |
| 19:39.26 | hno | drachensun, not really. The clock is still hardcoded in clock.c, but should be safe. |
| 19:40.08 | hno | only a bit slow compared to before. Need the PMU working before increasing clock frequency. |
| 19:40.29 | hno | that's the CPU clock, not the DRAM clock. |
| 19:41.46 | drachensun | Looks like you dropped the N factor to 16 right? |
| 19:42.12 | drachensun | oh wait, thats the nand clock |
| 19:44.46 | hno | The PLL1 config is quite raw at the moment. |
| 19:45.38 | hno | <PROTECTED> |
| 19:45.38 | hno | <PROTECTED> |
| 19:47.14 | hno | "stolen" from boot0. |
| 19:48.20 | hno | all temporary until PMU code is in place. |
| 19:49.03 | mnemoc | techn_: what do you mean by "Expect"? |
| 19:49.49 | techn_ | ah :) |
| 19:50.43 | techn_ | except :) |
| 19:51.30 | techn_ | anyway I changed that gt818 commit and removed duplicate driver which came with |
| 19:51.34 | techn_ | it |
| 19:52.21 | techn_ | and disp commit is not there.. and I'm not sure if you want that debconfig change ? |
| 19:53.50 | mnemoc | techn_: so first I need to remove some hashes from my branch. which? |
| 19:54.22 | drachensun | alright well I'm not even sure how to debug this so I'm just going to revert and |
| 19:54.36 | drachensun | wait and see if maybe something comes up |
| 19:56.05 | *** join/#arm-netbook NAiL (~repvik@nslu2-linux/repvik) |
| 19:56.14 | techn_ | mnemoc: what you mean? :/ |
| 19:56.35 | mnemoc | techn_: I have to remove those 3 hashes from my branch, right? |
| 19:57.29 | NAiL | I've been away for a couple of weeks. Anyone mind giving me a /really/ quick update on A10? |
| 19:57.44 | techn_ | no.. what I'm missing.. |
| 19:58.42 | mnemoc | techn_: ok, lets rephrase. I have a branch you have a branch, which of mine conflict with yours? |
| 19:59.57 | techn_ | If you'll rebase You'll need to drop ffed85e52b9cee6f35992982ca68a1b65882167e and take this instead e691ffe.. then cherry pick 35ab609 |
| 20:00.20 | hno | NAiL, what happened in last three weeks? ̈́ |
| 20:00.27 | techn_ | or just trash that sun5i branch and take pull request :p |
| 20:04.01 | NAiL | hno: That's the shortest summary I've seen in a while ;) |
| 20:04.18 | mnemoc | techn_: problem is yours isn't not properly rebased :) |
| 20:04.28 | mnemoc | s/isn't/is/ |
| 20:05.20 | Turl | hmmm techn_ https://github.com/techn/linux-allwinner/commit/77adc877e58ca4f75c1ea402c73d137b0e7b8909 |
| 20:05.34 | Turl | will this help with devices waking up by themselves? :) |
| 20:05.41 | mnemoc | techn_: I'm confused by include/linux/drv_display_sun4i.h -> include/linux/drv_display_sunxi.h |
| 20:06.00 | mnemoc | techn_: I don't see any #ifdef to deal with the diff between include/linux/drv_display_sun4i.h and include/linux/drv_display_sun5i.h |
| 20:06.07 | hno | NAiL, lots happened in last weeks, or not much depending on who you ask and what you look for. |
| 20:06.56 | mnemoc | gets pissed off by people treating the community as their secretary |
| 20:08.06 | NAiL | hno: Well, anything on A10 VPU stuff? I'm guessing I'll get no response if I ask gimli :-P |
| 20:08.46 | hno | The biggest change for me (apart from u-boot stuff) is that there is now 3 channels and 3.5 lists to keep track of. |
| 20:08.56 | drachensun | lol |
| 20:09.01 | Turl | a guy named empat0 came one day out of nowhere with xbmc with cedar support :P |
| 20:09.03 | mnemoc | hno: :D |
| 20:09.12 | Turl | hno: 3 channels and 3.5 lists? o.O |
| 20:09.35 | hno | 3 irc channels, 3 mailinglists and one forum. |
| 20:09.39 | Turl | I'm missing a list and two channels |
| 20:09.52 | drachensun | yeah me too, fill us in |
| 20:10.07 | mnemoc | #arm-netbook, #cubieboard, #olimex |
| 20:10.08 | hno | maybe it's only two lists. It's a little diffuse. |
| 20:10.21 | NAiL | oh great |
| 20:10.26 | Turl | I do keep track of ~10-15 channels and ~5-6 mailinglists a day |
| 20:10.30 | mnemoc | and arm-netbook@ cubieboard@ linux-sunxi@ |
| 20:10.40 | hno | right, 3 lists. |
| 20:10.45 | mnemoc | olimex switched to forum |
| 20:10.50 | Turl | oh, didn't know of #cubieboard / cubieboard@ |
| 20:10.52 | hno | which is the .5 |
| 20:11.07 | mnemoc | doesn't follow forums |
| 20:11.09 | hno | and I round down. |
| 20:11.23 | mnemoc | :) |
| 20:11.38 | Turl | mnemoc: any important emails on cubieboard@ or is it customer support or the like? |
| 20:11.52 | hno | There was one majorly important one at least. |
| 20:11.59 | mnemoc | arm-netbook is talk about everything... while it should be eoma |
| 20:12.09 | mnemoc | cubieboard, about the board |
| 20:12.27 | mnemoc | olimex, the a13/a10 olinuxino boards |
| 20:12.30 | Turl | got a link handy to it then? |
| 20:12.43 | Turl | just set up autojoin on #cubieboard |
| 20:12.48 | hno | Turl, but apart from that one message it's mostly questions about when cubieboard gets delivered. |
| 20:12.51 | mnemoc | and linux-sunxi... hopefully for developers and patch reviews |
| 20:13.12 | Turl | hno: I'll join but autotag and check once in a while then |
| 20:13.26 | drachensun | https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/cubieboard |
| 20:13.32 | mnemoc | Turl: cubieboard@ and linux-sunxi are in google groups |
| 20:13.40 | mnemoc | but you can subscribe sending an email too |
| 20:13.47 | Turl | cubieboard+subscribe@googlegroups.com I'm guessing |
| 20:13.53 | mnemoc | yes |
| 20:14.37 | techn_ | mnemoc: ok.. I'll rebase that tomorrow |
| 20:14.57 | mnemoc | techn_: I'm almost done |
| 20:15.04 | mnemoc | techn_: just wondering about that header |
| 20:15.31 | techn_ | Thats from sun5i branch.. abit improved :p |
| 20:15.53 | mnemoc | so I just git rm include/linux/drv_display_sun5i.h ? (got a conflict) |
| 20:16.34 | techn_ | in sun5i-import branch they just started to use sun4i header.. I changed sun4i to sunxi and removed sun5i |
| 20:17.14 | mnemoc | techn_: ok... |
| 20:18.19 | mnemoc | techn_: and what about the rest of "touchscreen: import gt818, sw-ts and fixes from sun5i-import branch" ? |
| 20:18.33 | mnemoc | your replacement only seems to include gt818 |
| 20:19.25 | hno | Turl, https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/cubieboard/4i-Dchs4o4Q if you haven't seen already. |
| 20:19.50 | techn_ | sw-ts was duplicate for driver which we had.. but there is still other ts improvements left |

| 20:21.51 | mnemoc | techn_: wip/linux-sunxi-3.0/sun5i updated |
| 20:22.06 | mnemoc | techn_: but there are several parts that seem harmful for sun4i |
| 20:22.24 | Turl | are the emails prefixed with "[cubieboard]" or something on subject line? |
| 20:22.38 | mnemoc | Turl: yes |
| 20:22.51 | techn_ | mnemoc: thanks.. yep.. + c++ comments, tabs, .. :) |
| 20:23.10 | mnemoc | techn_: it would be awesome if you could confirm all of yours is there and then start working upon that one |
| 20:23.12 | Turl | mnemoc: what is it exactly? :) |
| 20:23.16 | Turl | I'm making a filder |
| 20:23.18 | Turl | filter* |
| 20:23.26 | techn_ | mnemoc: but I think thats good start to get stuff into mainline |
| 20:23.27 | mnemoc | Turl: what is what? |
| 20:23.30 | Turl | the prefix |
| 20:23.37 | mnemoc | [cubieboard] |
| 20:23.52 | mnemoc | Turl: but for the filter you can use mailing list headers |
| 20:23.54 | RaYmAn | google lists also inserts a header with the listurl or soemthing like that |
| 20:23.59 | RaYmAn | indeed |
| 20:24.23 | mnemoc | List-ID: <cubieboard.googlegroups.com> |
| 20:30.19 | hno | have dropped most mailing list filters and filter manually, after forgetting he was subscribed to some important lists... |
| 20:37.33 | Turl | I'm subscribed to alsa-devel |
| 20:37.40 | Turl | I should probably unsubscribe one day :P |
