04:11 <memleak> hi all!

04:13 <memleak> how does xf86-video-armada talk to DRM if vivante_drv.c is null?

04:15 <memleak> https://github.com/laanwj/mesa -> http://ftp.arm.linux.org.uk/cgit/xf86-video-armada.git/log/?h=unstable-devel -> https://github.com/boundarydevices/linux-imx6 is this correct?

04:19 <memleak> I'm new here and I've hit a dead end with mali GPUs and am going to be working on a custom distro roll out with PREEMPT_RT and hopefully GPU accel.

04:20 <memleak> One thing I'll also need a bit help with is how to dd upstream uboot images to SD card. dd if=u-boot-sunxi-with-spl.bin of=/dev/<sdcard> bs=1024 seek=8 apply here?

04:21 <memleak> err.. obviously change the .bin file name appropriately (copy pasted from .bash_history)

04:22 <memleak> I'm off to bed but I'm gunna be sticking around, I've got a lot of kernel development and possibly mesa development to do if a legacy 10.4 checkout is as far as the vivente devs got.

04:26 <memleak> I'd like to help push this project along as best I can, offer whatever help I can and patches / kernel work and get things done and sorted out properly. I'm completely fed up with allwinner / sunxi and mali, heard amazing things about imx6 so here I am! good night all! happy 4th of july everybody!

14:56 <memleak> i also need the memory addresses for loading the kernel, is this all documented somewhere? hopefully in the BSP?

15:51 <vpeter> memleak: probably is defined in u-boot already. Like kernel in 0x12000000, dtb in 0x18000000.

15:52 <memleak> this channel isn't dead! woo!!!!!

15:53 <vpeter> dd if=u-boot.imx of=... bs=512 seek=2 conv=notrunc

15:53 <vpeter> It is usually dead.

15:54 <vpeter> So no more allwinner? :)

15:54 <memleak> nope, fed up. completely

15:54 <memleak> trying to find the imx6 defconfig right now in the uboot tree to verify your info

15:55 <vpeter> are you using some commercial board?

15:55 <memleak> is the gritty details of all this stuff hosted somewhere?

15:55 <vpeter> No idea. I'm self learner.

15:56 <vpeter> https://eewiki.net/ has some good info.

15:56 <memleak> you didnt dig through the freescale BSP or anything?

15:56 <vpeter> No. I'm using ready kernel.

15:56 <memleak> ah.

15:58 <vpeter> [17:55] <vpeter> are you using some commercial board?

16:01 <memleak> it's a custom in-house board

16:02 <memleak> i'm not handling any of the hardware development, just some of the software

16:03 <memleak> but it will be commercial, yes

16:19 <memleak> heh i was barking up the wrong tree, trying to find all this imx6 stuff when really i'm trying to find the board specific stuff, for a board that isn't done yet. durr

16:33 <vpeter> I think it doesn't depend on a board that much. Most of the things are very similar between systems.

16:37 <memleak> ahh goodie!

16:37 <memleak> more common the better!

16:38 <memleak> you got any experience with GPU hardware accel? xf86-video-armada and vivente drm?

16:40 <memleak> seek=2 was the same value i saw other places too btw, thank you for the confirmation vpeter

16:41 <vpeter> [17:56] <vpeter> No. I'm using ready kernel.

16:41 <vpeter> You can conclude from that I'm not as good as you are :)

16:42 <memleak> well accel aside, how slow is moving around windows across X?

16:44 <memleak> is it pretty quick with software 2D rendering?

16:48 <vpeter> This I can't tell you because don't using x or windows managing. Only video playback (working on OpenELEC linux distro).

16:48 <memleak> it's ok, figured i'd ask.

16:49 <vpeter> You should have one already done imx6 system to play with.

16:49 <memleak> yeah that's what i'm going to do

16:50 <memleak> i don't have any imx6 hardware but i want to be an expert by the time hardware gets in, heh
