11:09 <dnile> hey, i'm working on bringing up a new imx6-based board

11:09 <dnile> i'm using the freescale 3.10.17 kernel and buildroot for the rootfs, but i'm having some issues with the GPU drivers

11:10 <dnile> the X11 ones tend to segfault on most of the vivante examples, somewhere in libGAL

11:11 <dnile> i've also tried the fb gpu-viv-bin-mx6q blobs and the samples seem to run, but seemingly in monochrome with some strange corruption

11:12 <dnile> are the gpu drivers currently stable in the 3.10.17 kernel, or am i better off trying one of the older kernels?

11:14 <dnile> i'm using a gnueabihf toolchain built by buildroot with neon and vfpv3 support, by the way

13:00 <jnettlet> dnile, make sure that libGAL.so libEGL.so and one other link to the appropriate version for the display you are tring to use. In this case libGAL-X11.so

13:04 <dnile> jnettlet: thanks, i started out with them linked to libGAL-X11.so when i was trying to get the examples to run under X11, and then i changed them to libGAL-fb.so to see if it worked with X11 taken out of the equation

13:05 <dnile> after doing that i got an image, but mostly black and white with vertical lines and some strange wrapping effects

13:05 <dnile> so i was wondering if there was some kind of problem between galcore in the kernel and libGAL

13:17 <dnile> it really seems so. magical binary blobs in general are pretty annoying

13:30 <JBD1986> All, I have added the chromium package to a dora yocto build. Chromium mostly works (there are some issues with missing api keys). The main problem I'm having however is that youtube html5 videos won't play, however certain test html5 videos will play, for example:

13:30 <JBD1986> http://www.quirksmode.org/html5/tests/video.html

13:32 <JBD1986> The youtube video play area displays static, and says "An error occurred, please try again later"

19:26 <dv__> h264 videos wont play

19:27 <dv__> webm ones will - but not with hw accel

19:27 <dv__> h264 is part of the restricted branding and needs to be explicitely enabled during the chromium build

20:00 <JBD1986> dv__, thanks! will give that a shot

20:00 <JBD1986> dv__, do you know if there a way to find webm videos on youtube for testing?

20:08 <JBD1986> dv__, actually I think I tried that by appending &webm=1 to the end of the search. The videos still don't play

20:08 <JBD1986> with that being said, I get the flash player warning at the top of the screen

20:09 <JBD1986> dv__, so i'm not sure if it's actually a lack of flash player preventing the ads, which prevents the video

20:32 <dv__> nope. youtube does support webm directly.

20:32 <dv__> also, you can try out http://video.webmfiles.org/big-buck-bunny_trailer.webm

20:37 <applepi> Hi all... I have a new dev board, and this is my first attempt at coding a board from scratch, and I'm having a bit of difficulty figuring out how to get an initial u-boot onto the NAND.

20:39 <applepi> I've found the MfgTool, which looks promising, but when I connect my USB to the UART on the board, it causes a power surge on the hub. Am I going to need a JTAG, or should I be able to do it over the UART as there's no code on it to configure it yet?

21:41 <JBD1986> dv__, if I cant play the youtube webm videos, but CAN play the content you linked to, what do you think is going on there?

21:52 <dv__> not sure. perhaps youtube doesnt just jump to another format, but simply gives up after trying to play h264 content
