04:16.02GeorgeIoakssvb: never could get Mali Renderer, hunted arounf the net and looks like it might have something to do w/ linaro?
04:36.56steevis there a huge difference between the mk802, mk802 II and the mk802 III ?
04:37.21ManoftheSeaSize of memory is a big deal.
04:37.32ManoftheSeaAlso, availablity of UART
04:37.36ManoftheSeaI think.
04:38.06ManoftheSeaI never did get my UART hooked up.  The U-Boot for the mk802 worked for my mk802II
04:38.13ManoftheSeaI don't know about the III

05:11.26rmso yes there is a huge difference between that one and the others
05:11.49steevah right, suppose i have to dig around on some android forums somewhere for that kernel sources?

12:45.02libvah, right, i should still try to overclock the memory on it
12:45.08libvit might massively help framerates

12:46.34ssvbI just wonder if any Mele A1000/2000 is perfectly stable with RAM clocked at 480MHz, and they just used 360MHz for lulz

12:50.47mnemocssvb: btw, may I add you to the linux-sunxi github group?
12:58.12ssvbmnemoc: I feel a bit uneasy about the proprietary blobs in the repositories there
13:00.19ssvbmnemoc: maybe I'm too paranoid,  but I'm more in favour of handling them like this - https://github.com/ssvb/gentoo-overlay-sunxi-x11/blob/master/x11-drivers/mali-drivers/mali-drivers-9999.ebuild#L22
13:01.05mnemocthey are kept isolated in separated repos
13:01.21mnemocnot mixed with free projects
13:01.55mnemocand important blobs need to be maintained too
13:02.13mnemocbut it's fine. np
13:05.43ssvballwinner just needs to provide some sort of EULA for these blobs and the problem will be solved
13:06.26mnemocbut they won't
13:06.31mnemocbecause they don't care
13:06.54ssvbyes, I suspected something like this
13:07.17mnemoc*they* point people to us when people asks for sources.... :<
13:08.25ssvbwell, and the ARM guys point people to silicon vendor - http://forums.arm.com/index.php?/topic/16259-how-can-i-upgrade-mali-device-driver/page__p__39744#entry39744
13:09.30mnemoc"your request isn't worth of my time, go and bother someone else"
13:10.55mnemochipboi even sent a free mele and cubieboard to some ARM developers who promised to help with the integration and providing better blobs. they didn't.
13:12.42ssvbto me it looks like nobody simply wants to take responsibility in the case if shit hits the fan
13:16.10Alex1269_mnemoc, hi... Was too busy last week. Today I got some time for coding. I found a gpio_request function in sun3i/sun4i/sun5i platform code conflicting with gpiolib. To compile it I have to rename sunxi platform code function. Look this: http://sprunge.us/EaHA?diff - is this acceptable changes ?
13:17.00mnemocAlex1269_: ouch
13:17.13mnemocneed to go to pickup my daughters. back in 20m
13:18.06Alex1269_* need to put sleep my doughter :)
13:20.32vinifmwhat is blobs?
13:26.19mnemocbin-only stuff
13:30.09mnemocAlex1269_: please do the rename for both sunxi-3.0/3.4 branches, and separated from any gpiolib work

14:19.33TurlI'm unsure if mripard pushed them to a tree
14:19.56relllais waiting for mnemoc's lapdock instead. there's no need to buy it now ;)

14:21.17gzamboniits nice to know there are work in progress. when the gpio for the allwinner soc will support inputs it will be awesome
14:21.47gzamboniThank you mripard
14:22.11mnemocrellla: i believe lawrence is mostly convinced to do the sourcing and manufacturing research and then go for indiegogo to see if there is interest. the PCB part still unclear... GeorgeIoak mentioned interest
14:23.35mnemocrellla: but need some more feedback before moving http://linux-sunxi.org/User:Alejandro_Mery/Lapdock to elinux.org
14:23.43relllai haven't followed the discussion, but saw your wiki userpage.
14:27.14mripardgzamboni: I'm not sure it will ever be possible
14:27.25mripardat least if you don't want to poll the gpio values...

14:28.44gzambonithats bad news
14:32.09gzambonimripard polling the gpios is how its done using the /sys/class/gpio , no ?
14:32.51mnemocsome pins have irqs, some don't
14:33.09mripardgzamboni: well, it depends
14:33.40mripardif you call select() on a sys/class/gpio file, if the gpio value changes, you will be woken up
14:34.10mripard(on !allwinner at least)
14:34.40mripardif you usually loop and read the files value until it changes, you're right, it doesn't change anything :)
14:34.55mripardmnemoc: and most of the pins don't :(
14:36.30gzambonii see, IRQ for extenals interuptions. mripard i do loop to get its values. =) didnt even know there was another way of doing it
14:37.15gzambonii'm a noob. but interested in learning

16:18.36hramrachln2: I see Ubuntu phone as most viable. B2G is lame. sure, they will try to push it, there will be a few devices perhaps but too limited
16:18.49hramrachif you want limited system buy from Apple
16:21.18ln2hramrach: I completely agree.  My next phone will be Ubuntu Phone for sure.  They finally stepped up and offered native applications.  =)
16:28.13jinzohramrach, I don't think so - B2G could be more successfull than Ubuntu Phone
16:29.16jinzobecause Ubuntu showed it can have serious lack of persistance with Ubuntu TV
16:29.36jinzoand B2G is aiming lower end, which is always fun.
16:29.56hramrachit will fail anyway even if Ubuntu does not make the phone in the end
16:30.30jinzoBut on the other hand, Google could close the pipe andCoMAtr74bA
16:30.35jinzobah sorry
16:30.47hramrachyes, if you cam make 2x cheaper and lighter device with b2g than required for full Ubuntu that's useful too to some degree

16:37.26hramrachandroid suffers from the basic ARM device problem
16:38.06ln2Android suffers from a Java problem.
16:38.26ln24.5 watt AMD chips already exist. We aren't limited to ARM anymore.
16:38.46hramrachbuggy drivers are released, they are fixed enough to make a demo of the device working, if you are lucky a fix or two for most serious bugs is released after device goes to market. Then if it's broken you get to keep the pieces. The manufacturer has moved on to another device
16:39.27ln2Linux on ARM is rock solid.  With Ubuntu Phone running on ARM and X86 devices we will have an apples to apples comparison.
16:39.37ln2Right now the best we can say is that Java sucks.
16:40.02hramrachln2: it's the same blobware as arm so same problem
16:40.52ln2hramrach: Blobware comes from Google.  Ubuntu Phone doesn't run in a java rapper, or have any proprietary software.
16:40.54hramrachat least you get chips directly from AMD who also designs them so you can possibly get drivers more easily than for ARM
16:40.59ln2*wrapper
16:41.19hramrachbut that is to be seen
16:41.31ln2ARM GPU designs are used in only a subset of ARM powered devices.
16:41.35hramrachwhat does it run on?
16:41.50ln2Ubuntu Phone is Ubuntu ARM with a tiny Unity interface.
16:42.04hramrachthe other GPU designs are also third party licensed by SoC maker
16:42.08jinzoregarding the AMD GPUs, unfortunately they're moving back to a closed drivers for good.
16:42.27hramrachthey were never open in fact
16:42.56ln2I agree that other embedded GPU vendors are also closed.  But my point is that our problems are not caused by the ARM architecture.  ARM is not forcing anyones hand.
16:43.15hramrachwhen the X developers tried to make the card boot without any AMD blob the progress has somehow stopped
16:43.30ln2If PowerVR released its drivers tomorrow, we would all have ARM devices with full 3D with no proprietary code.
16:43.40hramrachyes, the problems are by closed architecture, not specifically arm
16:44.04ln2Absolutely.  Thats where Ubuntu Phone is actually different.
16:44.08hramrachthe additional problem of ARM is that you talk to SoC make who has no power over the IP of the stuff they put in SoC
16:44.20ln2It is in fact the full Ubuntu desktop OS running on an ARM device.  With no proprietary code.
16:44.48ln2If just one embedded GPU manufacturer releases code, all of our dreams will come true.
16:45.15ln2But Google and Java are responsible for the problems with Android.  Not ARM.
16:45.58hramrachno, no problem with java
16:46.11*** join/#arm-netbook mr_oz (~mro_@69.23.134.113)
16:46.13hramrachgoogle has played the politics wrong around their code, though
16:46.28hramrachwhich worsens the problems we already have on ARM
16:49.40ln2Java is responsible for almost all problems with all software on Earth.  The rest are caused by Flash.
16:49.40ln2But I don't exactly see what "ARM problem" exists?  Stability?  Efficiency?
16:49.55ln2Got disconnected for a second.  =(
16:50.41hramrachstability due to lack of maintenace
16:51.00hramrachevery SoC has some 1-2yrs lifetime
16:51.17hramrachyou can't debug drivers for a device in that time
16:52.03hramrachand google adds to that
16:52.23ln2Sorry phone.  I'm still here.  =)

16:53.37mripardyou could very well just change the default wallpaper.
16:53.54hramrachif google released something working I Am sure some would use that
16:53.58mripardthe vendors choose to reimplement the launcher
16:54.23mripardthey do.
16:54.45mripardsee the nexus devices
16:56.29ln2Alright back.
16:56.51ln2Vendors write software bugs into Java applications.  That is a massive problem.
16:57.37ln2However ARM architectures that are deployed into SoC's do not break compatibility.  There is no ARM architecture bug that I'm aware of.
16:58.23ln2I can cross-compile code from ARMv6 SoC to ARMv7 and there won't be any issues.  That spans more like eight years, not two.
16:58.42*** join/#arm-netbook TestModule (~robot@173.168.4.7)
16:59.55ln2However if there is any evidence of the ARM architecture itself causing a software bug, I would be very interested in seeing it.
17:00.42ln2ARM is being massively deployed in Top 500 supercomputers worldwide.  I'm not sure they believe there is an architectural problem with ARM.
17:01.46ln2Now... with that in mind.  I believe that they are delusional that those systems will have a higher performance per watt than Xen Phi, or even consumer i7's.  But we will see.
17:01.54ln2*Xeon
17:03.37rm> ARM is being massively deployed in Top 500 supercomputers
17:03.38rmwat
17:06.30ln2Mont-Blonc will be the first.
17:06.50traeakbeing massively deployed?
17:07.33traeaki was looking at that list yesterday, a customer was asking us for suggestions for a mass processing system we're helping them set up (our software
17:07.37ln2By massively I don't mean massively adopted.  I mean massive hardware installations ($$millions).
17:08.51traeakhmm
17:08.58traeakdon't see arm anywhere on the top 500
17:09.00ln2I doubt that it will be massively adopted because as stated above, I believe that their performance per watt figures are inflated and inaccurate.
17:09.04traeakthe floating point performance is pretty pathetic
17:09.07ln2*Also I meant the Top 500 Green.  =)
17:09.12traeakahh
17:09.41traeakour stuff is so double precision and branch heavy
17:10.06ln2To the extent that ARM does not have any architectural bugs or stability problems on a hardware level.  I couldn't agree more that existing ARM chips are not suitable for scale.
17:11.15ln2However these systems would simply not exist if there was a massive problem with ARM architectures in general.  What exists are software problems.  That exists in the X86 world too.  40% of all desktops still run Windows XP.  Thats a lot worse than minor bugs in vendor written Java applications.
17:12.16ln2traeak: You might want to look into Xeon Phi.  ; )
17:13.10traeakln2 too rich for us, we're actually pumping tons of throughput on just dual xeons
17:13.33traeak5k per machine is fine to keep up with one sensor :-p
17:13.37traeakfor our stuff at least hehe
17:13.49traeakfor MS i think that's a trailer of supercomputers
17:13.54traeakanyways
17:14.19ln2Xeon Phi would be a money saver actually.  You get sixty (yes sixty) 1.0ghz ivy bridge cores for ~$600.
17:14.26traeakinteresting
17:14.37traeakor last run was on 500k images, maxxed out at 56GB ram
17:14.56ln2These are medical images?
17:15.11traeakthe algorithms can be 'fixed"
17:15.12traeakno
17:15.17traeakwait one
17:16.32traeakwe have very high throughput geometric correct for sensors like pictometry, midas, etc.  popular with apple, google, MS.  we just need them to give us money (we're not big enough strangely)
17:17.22traeakthe stuff you see when you zoom in on google maps or bird's eye on virtual earth or whatever apple has
17:17.41ln2I can't see any reason at all why that couldn't run on Phi.  It may require some minimal porting.  But the benefits could be tremendous.  I'm curious why don't you guys already run CUDA?
17:19.24traeakbecause we're generalists
17:19.29traeakbranch heavy double precision
17:19.34traeakstrangely enough
17:19.45traeakwe've run into some guys usiing gpus
17:19.52traeakstrangely enough we're more correct and faster
17:20.14traeaksome idiots were trying to do lidar scanner processing on a gpu single precision
17:20.30traeakusing our code my buddy did a reference implementation
17:20.41traeakfull double precision and we were 4x faster
17:21.01traeakour stuff ran on a laptop real time and they ahd to download the data to a desktop to run it as well
17:21.09traeakso they suck, we don't, etc i know
17:21.33traeakand speed isn't our game, ultra high precision is (and not being stupid)
17:22.30traeaki got my fill of special processing hardware in the late 90's.  its a manpower and maintenance nightmare, and stops dead portabilty
17:22.39traeaktoday i could recompile everything and run it on an arm
17:22.59ln2That is a good point about code portability.  I think that Phi might be a really good fit in that case since although it is an accelerator, it is an X86 / IvyBridge one.
17:23.16traeakthat's probably worth looking into

18:53.03jelly-homew00tc0d3: quicker for what?
18:53.19w00tc0d3jelly-home: overall
18:53.23jelly-homehope youdon't need more than 200-300 iops
18:53.41w00tc0d3slapin: I do, too :)
18:54.55jelly-homecanonical gave free access to devels last summer-autumn, didn't they?
18:56.10jelly-homehttps://trystack.org/
18:57.58specingwell since they want you to join their assbook crap, no.
18:59.26vinifmmnemoc: pull = 3 really has no function
19:02.04jelly-homethat merely means you don't need free arm servers enough to create a fake fb account
19:02.39jelly-homespecing: also, the signup page now only lists fb requirement for x86, not arm
19:04.08specing... interesting
19:05.18w00tc0d3hmm

19:08.45Turlvinifm: pull 0=none, 1=up, 2=down

19:20.28extradosThanks again. I was able to get my wireless working with the script.bin tip. I just had to chang the usb_init_state to 1

19:37.28w00tc0d3is there an API to create repos @ GitHub?
19:38.04mnemocw00tc0d3: #github ?
19:39.06WarheadsSEjochensp: define "distorted sound"
19:39.24jochenspWarheadsSE: overdriven I would say
19:40.34jochenspWarheadsSE: it's gone when I turn the volume really low, but than it's not loud enough
19:42.38jochenspand it's not the case with android
19:48.30WarheadsSEmm
19:48.39WarheadsSEcompared the two fex?
19:49.20w00tc0d3interesting...
19:49.40w00tc0d3making a script to push all my Android repos (~150) to github
19:50.14mnemocw00tc0d3: it's a better idea to fork the already existing repos
19:50.23jochenspw00tc0d3: copied the one from the device, no difference
19:50.45w00tc0d3mnemoc: these are from android.googlesource.com
19:50.47jochensp@WarheadsSE meant you
19:51.14mnemocw00tc0d3: it's for bw and storage economy
19:52.12mnemocjochensp: don't prefix nicks with @ in irc
19:52.35mnemocjochensp: many clients won't highlight the nick match
19:52.41jochenspmnemoc: sorry, thanks
19:54.26jochenspWarheadsSE: I've copied script.bin from the device, used bin2fex and update the fex from the repo (changed dram.c as well), is there any other place I have to change the values?
19:55.09WarheadsSEno, those are the likely places.
19:55.28WarheadsSEadmittedly I've never had overdriving issues on the A10's I have
19:57.04jochenspWarheadsSE: should I post my fex files somewhere, because the had some different values to the once in the repro
20:00.55WarheadsSEthat ones not up to me
20:02.02jochenspany other idea? Could it help to upgrade android to the latest version and get the fex stuff from it?

21:06.40ssvbtechn_: is the problem in FBIOPAN_DISPLAY?
21:08.13ssvbtechn_: in any case, FBIOPAN_DISPLAY is only suitable for fullscreen, so it has limited utility
