Hi! Can i boot rk3066 device from SD card? or from OTG?
<akatik>
i want to build my custom kernel. and i dislike to reflash every kernel i build to test øåþ
<ncrmnt>
akatik: kernel will have to be in nand, the bootloader is shitty
<akatik>
...to test it.
<ncrmnt>
I'm flashing it to nand all the time to test.
<ncrmnt>
Don't worry though, bootloader does wear leveling.
<akatik>
:(
<Astralix>
no and no
<Astralix>
3066 can boot from mask.rom loader via serial and usb download
<Astralix>
there should be an option to download code directly to DRAM via usb loader but the available windows-tools are disabled in that option
<Astralix>
At least I guess they are disabled as none of them worked
<ncrmnt>
Astralix: rkflashtool can read DRAM. Wonder if bootloader actually supports writing DRAM and jumping. Then we can upload kernel, atags and jump
<Astralix>
yes that is what I hoped to find out but never succeeded
<Astralix>
it needs either a special bootloader with additional features or a different tool
<ncrmnt>
Astralix: I wonder if we could port uboot
<Astralix>
it already exists and I hope they open it as GPL as it should be
<ncrmnt>
Hm... For RK3188?
<Astralix>
doesn't make a big difference 3188,3066 or 2928
<ncrmnt>
I never saw that in official BSP (yea, I'm a cheater)
<Astralix>
nope there isn't any in the bsp if you're not buying enough chips, I guess
<ncrmnt>
I wonder if we can request that from rockchip.
<ncrmnt>
I'll see to it this week
<Astralix>
ok, I am waiting for it... I bet they ask for the number of chips you buy :)
<Astralix>
Do you devel for RK3188?
<ncrmnt>
I'm hacking my brand new Pipo Max M6 Pro into a debian tablet.
<Astralix>
ah, ok
FreezingCold has joined #linux-rockchip
<Astralix>
I have some troubles at low level init of 3188
<ncrmnt>
And we got the official RK3188 board at work with BSP, but not sure whether we'll do any projects on that one.
<ncrmnt>
Things looks way too ugly in places
<Astralix>
lol
FreezingCold has quit [Read error: Connection reset by peer]
<Astralix>
But having a tablet running ubuntu touch or something in that direction would be fine
<Astralix>
make -j4
<Astralix>
ups
<ncrmnt>
Astralix: I'm targeted for KDE
<ncrmnt>
Astralix: and debian jessie. Wonder if the thing will have enough power to run gqrx and rtl-sdr
<Astralix>
I am more interested in this low level things. If it works, it is useless for me :)
<ncrmnt>
Well, I'm a loong way from getting it to work. Mali and ump under X11 will be an effort
<Astralix>
yes
<Astralix>
no license, no documentation
<Astralix>
this graphis stuff is horror in linux
<ncrmnt>
There's on2 as well, never saw a line of code making this shit work under linux
<Astralix>
but if we dont fight for it, microsoft will win ;)
<ncrmnt>
Astralix: Microsoft is more like dead. Apple mostly rocks the place.
<ncrmnt>
And google.
<Astralix>
yes
<ncrmnt>
I doubt WinMo will be ever that popular as WM used to be back in 2005
<ncrmnt>
Btw, did you ever come across anx6345 in Rockchip tablets?
<ncrmnt>
This is the stuff they use to connect retina to lcdc
<naobsd>
(I want RK3188 tablet with hi-res LCD... but it's still expensive...)
<Astralix>
No
<Astralix>
I haven't seen an anx6345
<naobsd>
(PiPO M7 seems good)
<Astralix>
I do have something in my tab that prevents me from getting a picture with my self baked kernels
<ncrmnt>
Same here.
<ncrmnt>
I do see this anx thingie on i2c-2 at 0x39 on stock kernel
<Astralix>
So far I disassembled the lcdc code from the original kernel, the lcd requires even a new mode and type
<ncrmnt>
but I get a NACK on my homebrew one
<Astralix>
what tab do you have?
<ncrmnt>
Pipo MAX M6 Pro.
<ncrmnt>
The lcd is retina. The one I've seen in stock kernel.
<Astralix>
hmmm...
<ncrmnt>
The same from ipad.
<Astralix>
there is trouble with everything higher than 1024 with our images
<ncrmnt>
So far I'm far from here. Without anx working I won't be able to get anything.
<Astralix>
I have 1280x800... something like the old ipda
<Astralix>
ipad
<ncrmnt>
Since I have devmem enabled on stock (lol, thanks, PiPo) I plan to dump gpio registers. I guess I may be missing some power switch
<Astralix>
figuring out a working 3.0.36 for my tab is next on the plan. But I need some rest from that kernel work, so I switched to port some embedded os on CortexM3 chips
