(aha, when I'm using the gpio and simultaneously enable the special function, the gpio dir will stop doing anything - but it also won't error out)

@deskwizard you there?
<deskwizard>
Yep!
<deskwizard>
hey man
<Emaranhado>
hey!
<Emaranhado>
got some time :D ?
<deskwizard>
why not
<deskwizard>
hehe
<Emaranhado>
;D
<Emaranhado>
nice
<Emaranhado>
two things first
<dannym>
Seppoz: I tried it now. Seems also on mainline muxing works the same. Whoever changes the mux last wins. The other function will not error out but it just won't do anything (including if a kernel module is loaded for it....).
<Emaranhado>
I compiled the bin2fex, extracted the fex file, took a look at the file (not sure what I needed to see, anyway)
<Emaranhado>
so, at least I've got that going for me
<deskwizard>
Emaranhado, please say my name before so it highlight on my side else I might miss your message :(
<deskwizard>
Emaranhado, Nice ! :)
<Emaranhado>
deskwizard, k
<deskwizard>
Emaranhado, thats all the hardware configuration
<Emaranhado>
deskwizard, so, I've found this, which is the same version and the same machine as mine
<dannym>
Seppoz: If the mux is on the special function, in order to mux it to the gpio again, it's enough to write "out" to "gpio.../direction" (the previous value was "out" right before writing as well). It will then mux it back to gpio, stealing it from the kernel module - which will be none the wiser. Only writing "gpio.../value" doesn't mux back.
<Emaranhado>
deskwizard, I think that maybe, just maybe, that semitime i have uses the same specs?
<deskwizard>
Emaranhado, a lot of the fex will be similar between devices, the importance lies in the little differences
<deskwizard>
but yes it might very well be mate
<Emaranhado>
deskwizard, I see
<Emaranhado>
deskwizard, what should I look for?
<deskwizard>
Emaranhado, Id run a diff between your fex and the one you linked for example, you will see what lines stand out
<deskwizard>
I suggest 'meld' under ubuntu
<deskwizard>
on ubuntu?
<deskwizard>
whatever side your language wanna take ubuntu
<deskwizard>
lol
<Emaranhado>
hahaha
<Emaranhado>
yes, I'm running things on ubuntu right now
aballier has quit [Ping timeout: 276 seconds]
<Emaranhado>
deskwizard, k, I'll get this file and try the diff
<deskwizard>
theres a git repository with a LOT of devices' fex in there, I think it was somewere on sunxi's
<deskwizard>
maybe theres one for your device already
<Emaranhado>
deskwizard, this link I've sent you is from sunxi repo. There's some folders with lots of fex there, too
<Emaranhado>
I think you may be referring to that
<deskwizard>
I am, sorry lol
<Emaranhado>
np mate
<Emaranhado>
I tried to look for it
<Emaranhado>
it should be semitime_g1
<Emaranhado>
the closest I found was this mk802_a10s
<Emaranhado>
I'll make sure right now, using the diff
<deskwizard>
worse that can happen is contributing to that repository, big deal :P
<Emaranhado>
deskwizard, only as a curiosity, if it is the same or close, does that makes the job easier?
<deskwizard>
doesnt matter, you have the fex directly from the device
<deskwizard>
can't be closer than that
<Emaranhado>
I see
aballier has joined #linux-sunxi

it'll hint you at things you might encounter though
<Emaranhado>
can I see the light in the end of the tunnel?
<deskwizard>

<Emaranhado>
hahahahahahaha
<Emaranhado>
well, wasn't the light I was hoping for
<Emaranhado>
but I'll take it
kaspter has joined #linux-sunxi
<deskwizard>
and its echo ...
<deskwizard>
sorry
<deskwizard>
anyhoo
<Emaranhado>
deskwizard, well, almost the same as Semitime_g2 (difference lies in lcd resolution, scaler mode enabled and serial number)
<deskwizard>
Emaranhado, serial number... dont really care
<deskwizard>
lcd resolution...
<Emaranhado>
and, pretty similar to mini-x_a10s too, difference lies in dram io width, display mode, lcd action when not used and some other things lcd related
<deskwizard>
I doubt you have a lcd
<Emaranhado>
this lcd is the output screen or is it the screen that the "tablet" should have?
<deskwizard>
tablet..
<Emaranhado>
nope
<Emaranhado>
it doesnt, it's a top box
<deskwizard>
exactly
<Emaranhado>
that fb0 scaler mode enable?
<deskwizard>
it matters for android since they hacked the resolution thing and the fex settings are basically useless (at least on my board)
<deskwizard>
the scaler mode im not sure
<deskwizard>
that we'd have to let more knowledgeable people on that
<deskwizard>
we can pretty much consider it mk802_a10s
<deskwizard>
BUT
<deskwizard>
we are missing 1 or maybe 2 informations
<Emaranhado>
not mk802_a10s, that's the semitime_g2
<deskwizard>
oh okay sorry
<Emaranhado>
mk802 didn't made the cut, too many differences
<deskwizard>
yeah use semitime_g2
<Emaranhado>
what are we missing?
<deskwizard>
what kind of wifi
<deskwizard>
and if it has bluetooth, what kind of bluetooth
<Emaranhado>
no bluetooth
<Emaranhado>
and wifi, I should take the part number from the board?
<Emaranhado>
or is that only doable by UART?

the one with realtek or broadcom on it..
<deskwizard>
lol
<deskwizard>
most likely
<Emaranhado>
oh, right
<deskwizard>
I mean I havent seen others on sunxi boards
<deskwizard>
it would have been in the kernel config, but we checked yesterday and the config isnt on the board so

you have your fex

you have what wifi module to use

and its an a10s

Emaranhado, no its in there, you have a10s :P
<deskwizard>
Emaranhado, time to build yourself a kernel
<deskwizard>
check if you can find the config file for that g2 something board that the fex was similar
<Emaranhado>
deskwizard, stupid question, but doesn't the fex file classifies as a config?
<deskwizard>
Emaranhado, config for different things
<deskwizard>
but I guess any a10s kernel config file could work, as long as you have the correct wifi module in it
<Emaranhado>
deskwizard, that repo doesn't have any config files in it, only fex =/
<Emaranhado>
deskwizard, can I build that config file?
<Emaranhado>
or get it from my device?
<deskwizard>
Emaranhado, we tried to get from your device, it wasnt there
<deskwizard>
but like I said, the generic a10s will do for now
<Emaranhado>
oh right...
<Emaranhado>
where can I find the generic a10s config file?
<deskwizard>
Emaranhado, ever built kernel and stuff before ?
<Emaranhado>
nope
robogoat has quit [Ping timeout: 260 seconds]
<deskwizard>
I know buildroot has everything you need for some a20 boards, not sure about a10
<deskwizard>
anyhoo, all the information you need should be on linux-sunxi.org
<Emaranhado>
in the "NDH"?
<deskwizard>
the what ?
<Emaranhado>
new device Howto, I guess
<deskwizard>
Ah, yes
<deskwizard>
going to be easy, take the g2 one, change the fex with yours, double-check wifi, done
<Emaranhado>
looking for it on buildroot
<deskwizard>
any a10
<deskwizard>
honestly, whats the code for a10s... sun4i ?
<Emaranhado>
yep
<Emaranhado>
but the kernel for the semitime_g2 is the sun5i
<deskwizard>
a13 ?
<Emaranhado>
a10s
<deskwizard>
well thats what you have isnt it ?
<Emaranhado>
yes, it is
<deskwizard>
i fail to see the issue
<Emaranhado>
I'm looking for the config file
<Emaranhado>
can't find it
<deskwizard>
Emaranhado, nevermind the NDH for now
<Emaranhado>
deskwizard: thanks mate. I guess it's going to take a while to download the kernel repo, and I'm running late again (I'll have to wake up in 5 and half hours and I still didn't cook diner)
<deskwizard>
Emaranhado, no worries mate, you know where to find me ! :)
<Emaranhado>
deskwizard: thank you very much!
<Emaranhado>
deskwizard: I'll try to continue compiling the kernel and setting things up tomorrow, during the day
<Emaranhado>
