I had wrong import yesterday, half of tags disappeared, now its ok, these are all patches for u-boot from both hdmidongle patches packs
<rz2k>

rz2k: Thx. Which configs do you use: imx6_defconfig (linux) and imx6_android_defconfig (android)?
<cnxsoft>
I mean for linux-imx
<rz2k>
I didnt apply patches to defconfig yet, they are conflicting with each other
<rz2k>
probably done by two developers
<rz2k>
only the patches that formatted good (from Zhang Xiaodong) slightly change imx6 android defconfig
<rz2k>
I beleive we will need to figure our own defconfig
<cnxsoft>
When I post about that, I'll mention the repo, IRC and google group, as well as quick ways to get started with u-boot and kernel
<rz2k>
and from the kernel-imx-ga I used the android defconfig
<rz2k>
contact jesbir too
<rz2k>
as he has it up and running
pcat has joined #arm-netbook
<cnxsoft>
So it be nice to have defconfig for the sticks even if it does not work just yet
<rz2k>
this one was used in kernel-imx6-ga.tar.gz imx6_nand_android_defconfig
<cnxsoft>
ok but this is for NAND boot, right?
<rz2k>
yeah, we need to turn off the micron nand flash
<rz2k>
since we have just 2SD slots

<andy101>
hello
<andy101>
I have a board with an Allwinner A13 processor and I'm currently looking for some guys who have experiences with this type of processor
<andy101>
I designed my own board and it is very similar to the MICRO board of olimex (but with 512 MB of RAM instead of 256 MB)
<andy101>
the thing is, u-boot is successfully loaded from the SD card
<Turl>
well, you found the right channel :)
<andy101>
but the kernel always gets stuck at "Starting kernel..."
<Turl>
andy101: did you load script.bin?
<Turl>
before loading the kernel
<andy101>
yes I did
<Turl>
try booting with earlyprintk on your kernel cmdline and see where it fails then
<andy101>
do I have to specify something for earlyprintk?
<andy101>
something like earlyprintk=ttyS0,115200
<andy101>
because I already tried using earlyprintk but nothing is printed to the console
<andy101>
I also used the memory dump util to look at the memory address of __log_buf but the memory gets either overwritten or the content is lost
<andy101>
do you recommend a specific kernel version?
<andy101>
I tried 3.0.57 and 3.4.x
rellla2 has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
<mnemoc>
earlyprintk goes alone, the ttyS0,... stuff to console=
<mnemoc>
earlyprintk will just use the memory address and expect u-boot to have configured the pins
<Turl>

andy101: also note that our kernel is not compatible with the stock u-boot from allwinner. we need the bootloader to pass the proper machine id and mem info
<mnemoc>
andy101: if booting from nand, you have to replace the stock nanda's linux/u-boot.bin with one built from the lichee-dev branch of u-boot-sunxi
<Turl>
mnemoc: and maybe a file copy rule for a global makefile or two
<mnemoc>
Turl: so it's just like having a bunch of git clone one next to the other
<Turl>
yeah except you can sync them all in one shot
<mnemoc>
just like with a 3 lines shell script
<mnemoc>
otoh, the idea of the manifest is cool
<Turl>
andy455: weird error :/
<Turl>
andy455: does it happen all the time?
<andy455>
almost
<andy455>
sometimes it happens nothing
<traeak>
at one point we were pasting together different repos. Had to do with keeping ownership separate.
<traeak>
talk about pita :(
<mnemoc>
can you enable earlyprintk?
<andy455>
mnemoc: I enabled earlyprintk but there is no output
<Turl>
andy455: what are you using to boot, nand or mmc?
<andy455>
mmc
<Turl>
andy455: are you using SPL for your specific device?
<Turl>
the error really smells like bad/misconfigured ram to me
<traeak>
nowadays we spin 5 or 6 different products out of the same repo using CVS modules. we keep everything very flat though libmath/testmath would be shared, libovx/testovx/mainOVX for more end stuff. oh well enough about repos.
<mnemoc>
andy455: what defconfig did you use? what device?
<andy455>
Turl: yes I'm using SPL
<andy455>
mnemoc: I used a13om_defconfig
pcat has joined #arm-netbook
<andy455>
mnemoc: so it is for the olimex micro board but mine has 512MB of ram instead of 256MB could that cause this error?
<andy455>
Turl: configures the linux kernel the ram or is it all taken from u-boot?
<mnemoc>
try using a normal a13_defconfig with mali disabled and the debug uart set to 1
<mnemoc>
andy455: you need to use a u-boot-spl for your exact device model because it does the dram initialization
merbanan has joined #arm-netbook
<andy455>
mnemoc: is it necessary to enable "Early printk" to accept the earlyprintk command line parameter
<andy455>
?
<mnemoc>
yes, and DEBUG_LL
<andy455>
ok

there seems to be something wrong with wemac performance :/
<mnemoc>
first check you got 100FD
<rm>
yes I have
<rm>
it's fast on LAN

but downloads from the internet much slower than other hosts behind the same router O.o

and looks like there are some "dropped" packets in ifconfig

the count increases by a bit

does anyone know what's function is called at the very beginning of starting the kernel?

<RaYmAn>
andy455: if you ask what you actually need instead, it might be possible to answer :P
<Turl>
andy455: usually it's the decompressor
<RaYmAn>
but basically, very early is in uhm, arch/arm/boot/compressed/head.S or something like that.
<Turl>
RaYmAn: he's having 'data abort' early on boot
<RaYmAn>
ah
<RaYmAn>
backlog reading is overrated :P

<mnemoc>
Turl: the related change is the replacement of allwinner's obsesive abuse of usleep() with wemac_delay() calls
<mnemoc>
it also causes some people to initially sync at 10HD
<bsdfox_>
ssvb, is Kwin performance significantly better than x11?
<Turl>
mnemoc: yeah I've hit the 10HD issue a couple of times
voronaam has joined #arm-netbook
<ssvb>
bsdfox_: kwin is just a fancy eye candy stuff, like wobbly windows, etc.
<ssvb>
bsdfox_: having it accelerated just means minimizing extra overhead compared to plain x11 stuff
<andy455>
now, I recompiled the kernel with another compiler and the data_abort exception is gone. but I don't get any other output. so, i would like to add some "reboot statements" to the code to see if the kernel is executing the parts. has anybody a clue how I can do that?

seems like libUMP.so should be removed from this thing
<techn_>
that seems to add X11_LIBS
<libv>
and the Makefile of libump could use some love too
<libv>
techn_: the manually built libUMP.so seems to work
<libv>
so... we need to get rid of the mali-libs libUMP.so for r3p0 x11
pcat has quit [Ping timeout: 240 seconds]
<techn_>
yes.. it has workaround which tackles those unresolved dependencies.. libMALI.so has declaration of couple symbols but no definiton or link to needed libraries
<techn_>
the real problem is that libMALI.so
<libv>
well, that's not something that can be replaced easily, now is it ;)
<libv>
also, it might pay to have mali-libs warn about existing swrast libraries installed
<techn_>
ssvb: yeah.. that downside :/
<ssvb>
techn_: well, apparently some systems may also have libdri2 preinstalled, as explained in http://linux-sunxi.org/Mali400
<ssvb>
but that's still also a workaround
<ssvb>
rz2k knows better, but he is not around at the moment
<libv>
mnemoc: can i push the r3p0/armhf/x11 removal patch directly to the mali-libs tree?
<ssvb>
techn_: I think the AIGLX messages are about GLX, which is not supported for GLES, so it's just a noise

ah, just did so

thanks

well, i too hate running into issues that others already ran into
eFfeM has quit [Quit: Leaving.]
<ssvb>
techn_: now I need to add support for ARGB cursors and also proper page flipping
<ssvb>
techn_: page flipping is apparently really need for gnome-shell, because it seems to partially render something immediately after flipping and then wait for a while before rendering the rest, it looks really ugly
<ssvb>
techn_: if all the drawing is not really done offscreen before flipping
<ssvb>
libv: the performance of xf86-video-mali really suffers from a lot of memory copies, but at least it can be used as a reference to check if the stuff really works more or less correctly
<libv>
i am mainly just going to adjust the test application included in mali-libs
<ssvb>
yeah, having a test application that just works would be really great
<libv>
after that i will be adding mali binary shader loading to my lima tree, so i can run connors freshly compiled shaders on q3a
