<drachensun>
I'm trying to install these mali libs and I dont understand something. The instructions list mali_drv.so which I think is what X needs
<drachensun>
but its not in the binary downloads
<drachensun>
is that only a r3pX thing?
<drachensun>
rm: You mean because debian doesn't have the ...eabihf cross compile package? You can get the code sourcery package, I think that will build it just as well
<drachensun>
rm: seems like if you built the kernel with an hf compiler it still worked fine with a hf rootfs
<drachensun>
nm find the info on mali_drv
<Turl>
rm: is there such a thing as an 'armhf kernel'?
<Turl>
rm: it was my belief the kernel didn't do any floating point operations - I might be plain wrong though

hm
<rz2k>
looks like odroid-x doesnt have hw3d on native linux
<rz2k>
I thought they had mali400 working.
<rm>
Turl, I thought the ABI also differs
<rm>
register usage conventions and the like
<rm>
or maybe that only applies to MIPS o32/n32, but not here

mnemoc: but there is divisions so hf has some effect

doubles :)

uhm... actually not sure about that one. 1m
<mnemoc>
no doubles either. everything is ULL

but it would be nice too compare the results of using arm-linux-gnueabi- vs arm-linux-gnueabihf- ....

does the latest linux-sunxi-3.4 compile with sun4i_defconfig?
<mnemoc>
sun4i_defconfig hasn't been "updated" yet
<Turl>
I unplug mele's AC but leave serial connected
<Turl>
it boots from nand and not SD
<Turl>
after a reboot arch is back to working
<mnemoc>
there are a couple of gremlins in that area
<zub>
w.r.t. kernel - allwinner-v3.0-android-v2 is the recommended branch?
Brandon15811 has quit [Excess Flood]
Brandon15811 has joined #arm-netbook
<zub>
should CONFIG_SPARSE_IRQ be enabled for sun4i? defconfig has it on
<Turl>
zub: if you plan on using it for something, I'd recommend it, yes
<zub>
hm, I don't really understand what it does. I turned it off, and my latest build dies after several hours, so I'm wondering if it could be related
<hno>
mnemoc, good. There is no dram or clock changes after that. Only I2C and PMU.
<mnemoc>
there is a simple captcha.. and even when bots register, very few write something...
<mnemoc>
hno: I have it modified to use cubieboards' dram_para
<mnemoc>
not sure if that matter
<mnemoc>
Turl: do we really want to add the complexity (for humans) of a harder captcha?
<hno>
mnemoc, did anything work before you changed dram parameters?
<mnemoc>
hno: nope, it crashed once and the freeze in the second try
<mnemoc>
then*
<hno>
ok. because I tried to jtag boot the SPL on my cubie and it hang very early in dram setup.
<Turl>
mnemoc: I don't care about the bots, as long as they don't spam all the things :)
<mnemoc>
unless i've missed something, they don't spam
<hno>
but did not spend much time with it.
<hno>
can you send a pull request with your dram parameter cleanup?
<hno>
mnemoc, so why do they register
<mnemoc>
simple captcha is a plain text question
<mnemoc>
some are smart enough to answer it
<mnemoc>
hno: http://sprunge.us/CiaV <--- my diff..... but I don't know how to mange the config system to let that board_foo.c thing work properly :|
RITRedbeard_ has quit [Read error: Connection reset by peer]
<mnemoc>
i mean, integrated in Makefile
<mnemoc>
append ?diff to the url to get syntax highlighting
<mnemoc>
or you want the pull request to have a place for discussing it?

mnemoc: can you add arbitrary plaintext questions?
<mnemoc>
don't know :|
<mnemoc>
i guess so
<mnemoc>
but i'm kind of alergic to php so i do as little customization as possible
<Turl>
we could add some tech questions so bots can't join as easy
<Turl>
some trivial logic maybe, true xor true = ?
<Turl>
or "Is the sunxi family a x86 processor family?"
<mnemoc>
you have `sudo` powers :)

cd /srv/http/linux-sunxi.org/wiki/

beware the wiki and all extensions are updated by cron
<Turl>
updated by cron?
<mnemoc>
there is an update.sh there, which is called at *:42
<Marex>
hno: hey ;-)
<Marex>
hno: any news on the upstreaming ?
<Marex>
hno: -next is open for a while now
<mnemoc>

heh 42 :)

<hno>
Marex, mainly SPL related stuff.
<Marex>
whats up with SPL?
<Marex>
still the memory init ?
<hno>
No, was missing PMU setup so CPU ran on wrong voltage and some other details.
itamarjp has joined #arm-netbook
<Marex>
bah
<hno>
basic PMU support landed tonight.
<Marex>
hno: heh
<Marex>
hno: I wish basic documentation would land ;-)
<hno>
the PMU do have quite extensive documentation.
<Marex>
hno: ooh, that's good
<hno>
the document for the specific chip is chnieese, but another chip in the family have english docs, and they share all registers & pins.
<hno>
have not figured out how they differ yet.
<Marex>
hno: you really need to learn chineese :)
<hno>
translation engines and friends fill that gap sufficiently well for reading.
<hno>
writing & communicating is more difficult.
<hno>
Marex, how long is the merge window?
<Marex>
hno: I'd expect it open till november
<hno>
ok. And then closed for a month or so?
<Marex>
hno: next release is scheduled for january
<Marex>
hno: but then, if you get basic support into current -next, you'll be able to patch it until -rc, which is around december
<hno>
mnemoc, seems sun5i also have GPS. Confusing.
<Marex>
hno: sun5i is A13 ?
<hno>
Marex, understood.
<hno>
Marex, A13 is in the sun5i family yes.
<mnemoc>
hno: i also wonder if they really removed g2d
<hno>
based on
<hno>
?
<mnemoc>
the reserve is merely commented out
<mnemoc>
also the mixer processor is the best document part in the a10 manual.... and by the registers it seems to be what we call g2d... kind of makes me think if it's something they would suddenly consider unworthy
<hno>
mnemoc, g2d is erased from all sun5i headers & code. gps have slightly different & refined clock registers in sun5i.
<hno>
GPS is most likely there. But have no idicatoin g2d/mixer is kept. As mentioned current Android do not make use of it at all.
<hno>
remember that the g2d memory reservation was commented out in the later sun4i code drops as well.
<mnemoc>
right
<hno>
it's a pity as it liits the interest in investing efforts into a g2d exa driver.
<mnemoc>
yes
<hno>
allwinner don't care as all their customers are happy with mali.
