anyone know whatever happened to the Gooseberry boards? 500 sold out, now their store is down, no news in weeks....
<nulluser>
Does anyone know off hand where the max cpu speed passed to cpufreq comes from? I have a board listing 600 mhz as the max speed, and I think it should be good to 1ghz or so

Also, is it possible to disable the mali completely? I have tried a few times to compile the kernel with it removed but it kept crashing on boot.
<mnemoc>
just disable CONFIG_MALI
<nulluser>
hmm. I wonder what's going on. If some other peripheral is relying on it getting initialized
<nulluser>
I tried enabling it and disabling it a few times and recompiling with that as the only change
<nulluser>
Weird, seems to work now. Gremlins
hg_5 has joined #arm-netbook
<mnemoc>
assuming a sunxi kernel, after disabling mali you can disable the memory reserve of framebuffer too (making it dynamic)
<mnemoc>
that will get you a bunch of extra free memory
<mnemoc>
you'll still have fb, but not reserving a monster chunk of memory for it
XenGi is now known as XenGi_
<nulluser>
Can I just disabled it all completely? This thing is headless with a serial console.
<nulluser>
Everything is disabled under graphics, unless the fb setup is elsewehere
<mnemoc>
yes, just disable all the FB stuff, and video decoding, a g2d
<nulluser>
ok, thanks
<mnemoc>
CONFIG_VIDEO_DECODER_SUN4I for the VE, CONFIG_SUN4I_G2D for the 2d accelerator, CONFIG_SUNXI_MALI_RESERVED_MEM and CONFIG_FB_SUNXI_RESERVED_MEM
<mnemoc>
the last two are selected by others, but git grep will show you
<mnemoc>
those are the CONFIG_s that control the reserves
<nulluser>
Does disabling it in the .fex file have any effect? or other peripherals for that matter?
<mnemoc>
disabling in .fex will not affect the reserves
<mnemoc>
they happen before script.bin can be read
XenGi_ is now known as XenGi
<mnemoc>
but disabling in .fex affects the _init() of the corresponding modules
<nulluser>
I don't know how clean the code is separated. They should just be #ifdefed out if the module is not included
<nulluser>
But I have a feeling there is some scary stuff in there the more I look at it
<mnemoc>
if you disable the module it doesn't matter if script.bin has it enabled
<nulluser>
yeah
<mnemoc>
allwinner code is scary ;-)
<mnemoc>
but my coworker's is worse
<nulluser>
heh

hiya
<torpor>
anyone in here got any lapdock / rpi / mk802 experience?
<torpor>
i need a little help getting my mk802 working with the lapdock.
<mnemoc>
techn_: if it works, much better than using allwinner-tools
<mnemoc>
techn_: ask him if he wanna join ;-)
<hno>
techn_, oh, he pushed his work so far. It's far from complete but a good start.
<nulluser>
I have a shell on the console, should be able to mount the flash and just copy
<techn_>
mnemoc: hno: atleast that repo has best image unpacking tools
<nulluser>
more worried about it booting properly
<techn_>
they work with a13 images also.. and no viruses :/
gimli has joined #arm-netbook

nulluser: now there should be tool to create ext4 format rootfs file, which can be used with mk_livesuit.sh.
<techn_>
but its not ready yet..
<nulluser>
Is there anything weird going on, like a compressed image or something?
<mnemoc>
livesuit images are weird
<techn_>
and it needs to debugged why it wont load rootfs
<techn_>
but I gotta go now
<slapin>
techn_: use genext2fs and pretend it is ext4?
<torpor>
woohoo i got it working!

lapdock + mk802 == nice ARM netbook! :)
<slapin>
hno: it seems we can update mtd ourselves, and I half-made it compile, so I hope can submit mtd patches next week.
<torpor>
sure beats the freakin' touchbook junk
<slapin>
torpor: where do you all get that lapdock?
hansg has joined #arm-netbook
<torpor>
ebay
<torpor>
now to install ubuntu ..
<mnemoc>
they aren't as cheap as "advertised", but still a decent deal
<torpor>
i got mine for 40euros
<nulluser>
I saw one for $80 or so, pretty good deal
<nulluser>
Aesthetically I don't like how the device sticks out the back
<mnemoc>
cheap ones are in US. but usually with awful shipping fees to EU
<lkcl_>
torpor: can you please provide a link (or a model number)
<torpor>
lkcl_, you want a link to buy one or just to see what it is?
<mnemoc>
buy
<mnemoc>
40E is amazing :)
<torpor>
nulluser, yeah its something that needs to be worked on. i just finished making a cable for mine .. next week i'll 3d print an adapter for it so that the mk802 just slides in nice and neat.
<rm>
bring it into the brainwashed by the RASPBERRY PI masses

just ordered an 809
<penguin42>
was 39GBP+4.50 shipping from an amazon uk vendor

but shipped from hk anyway :p

still easier for me to get it via amazon uk

RK3066 sucks
<rm>
"ubuntu barely works and you need to use hideous hacks to even boot it"
<hansg>
rm, why ? I'm focussing on getting Linux running nice on the RK3066 now, but RK3066 looks nice too
<rm>
vs "a number of distros simply boot from an SD card" with the A10
<rm>
more power to you then
<hansg>
rm, never mind you've already answered my question
<hansg>
:)
<hansg>
Gah, typing == difficult, I meant: "I'm focussing on getting Linux running nice on the *A10* now, but RK3066 looks nice too"

"man, it's dual-core, that must be cool!"
<Skaag>
oh wait, it does, just takes 2 very long minutes…
<jas-hacks>
What frame rate should you be getting in glxgears with mali drivers?
<mnemoc>
Skaag: using a recent u-boot-sunxi ?
<Skaag>
yes
<penguin42>
rm: Well, it's dual core and A9, and that is for most things significantly faster than a single A8
<Skaag>
compiled last week
<rm>
Skaag, fwiw my MK802 didn't reboot properly with any powered USB devices connected; but then eventually this problem just went away; I relate that to newer kernel releases
<Skaag>
I see
<rm>
penguin42, so
<rm>
imagine you got one
<rm>
how do you go about running Debian with X11 on it
<Skaag>
ok no, it didn't boot
<penguin42>
which I hopefully will in a couple of weeks
<penguin42>
rm: Good question, don't honestly know yet; there seem to be people who've rooted them, and I'm assuming there is a way to get to a boot loader, and the kernel source is apparently released
<jelly-home>
too bad j1nx attempt at crowdfunding release of amlogic source didn't work out

what's a simple way to throw an image onto the frame buffer device?
<nulluser>
in C?
<hansg>
Oh yeah, after poking hdmi transmitter registers the entire day I've *finally* found the bit to enable double clock pll usage in the A10's hdmi transmitter. So now I've it doing 1920x1200 on my 24 inch :)
<Skaag>
in any way really
<nulluser>
in C you just open the /dev/fb device and write to it
<mnemoc>
hansg: awesome!
<Triffid_Hunter>
hansg: nice
<nulluser>
If you had a raw image in the correct format, you could just cat it to /dev/fb

nulluser: I tried to use fbi to display something but it won't budge
