Er0l: I actually don't create a uImage. Newer u-boot's have a bootz that can read zImage's directly
<Esmil>
*bootz command
<Er0l>
hi Esmil thanks for reply. I followed your instructions, compiled kernel but I fail to boot it. I have used https://github.com/ajayramaswamy/u-boot-gk802 and built u-boot from there.
<Er0l>
Esmil: do you have any pointers, what does your boot.scr look like with new u-boot ?
<Esmil>
yeah, you'll need something like this
<Esmil>
fatload mmc 0:1 $loadaddr dongle.img
<Esmil>
fatload mmc 0:1 $fdt_addr dongle.dtb
<Esmil>
bootz $loadaddr - $fdt_addr
<Er0l>
Esmil: dongle.img is zImage from arch/arm/boot/ ?
<Esmil>
Yes
<Er0l>
Esmil: too bad I'm at work now, but I will try this when I get home :) spent whole day yesterday trying to boot uImage without success.
<Esmil>
Ah, damn
<Esmil>
Do you keep the kernel and device tree on fat or ext?
<Er0l>
ext4
<Esmil>
Ah, so you only use one partition and have the kernel under /boot?
<Er0l>
yes
<Er0l>
I am using debian jessie image provided by hste, but I wanted to update kernel to resolve few minor issues.
<Er0l>
this is the culprint like I said vivante driver version is not matching the server
<hste>
Er0l: did u do an apt-get upgrade?
<Er0l>
ii xserver-xorg 1:7.7+7 armhf X.Org X server
<Er0l>
ii xserver-xorg-core 2:1.15.1-1 armhf Xorg X server - core server
<Er0l>
ii xserver-xorg-dev 2:1.15.1-1 armhf Xorg X server - development files
<hste>
Er0l: I think the vivante stuff is compiled for 1.14 and u got xorg 1.15
<Er0l>
hste: I can roll back and check again
<hste>
Er0l: If I remember there was some problems with GL linking in 1.15 so yocto had to revert to 1.14
<Er0l>
hste: I'll need to dig up 1.14 packages from your .tar.xz file :)
<hste>
Er0l: I tried and I got X running. I'm not at the monitor now but from my log it looks like it started. http://pastebin.com/rCedgaFX
<Er0l>
hste: I need to look for the packages elsewhere, and I will check. I have monitor here connected.
<hste>
Er0l: I tried upgrading xorg and then I got the same error as you
<Er0l>
hste: which exact version of xorg is working for you ?
<hste>
Er0l: 1.14.3
<hste>
Er0l: but if u just want X and don't need the vivante stuff you can rename /etc/X11/xorg.conf and start x again
<Er0l>
hste: tnx for the tip, but I just wanted to test X with vivante. I would probably go back to console after testing like I said I'm using it as server.
<Er0l>
hste: what are you using your gk802 for ? mine is mainly web server + seedbox and it works really well
<hste>
Er0l: then u could remove the vivante drm from the kernel to get more free ram
<hste>
Er0l: I don't use it at moment. just for playing with distros, kernel etc
<Er0l>
hste: that's cool also
<Er0l>
hste: vivante module can not be loaded anyway:) so now I have more free ram
