<wens> arokux: the A20 doesn't have the pins to do full GMII
<wens> arokux: it can do MII or RGMII
pfdm has joined #linux-sunxi
<wens> arokux: i like the structure of stmmac, looks extensible, maybe make stmmac-sunxi, like dw_mmc -> dw_mmc-socfpga
<wens> arokux: if i can get it to work with gmac, i'll pull sunxi bits into an extension driver
hramrach has joined #linux-sunxi
<wens> wonder how i should do the gmac clock. the bits actually depend on whether MII or RGMII is used. and i don't think it's gated.

<oliv3r> arokux: what's your switch say? :)
<oliv3r> wens: i don't think that's true, EMAC was MII only (no RMII i think) GMAC uses the same pins, so is (G)MII compatible
<oliv3r> the PHY! only has the RGMII pins
<oliv3r> wens: actually, stmmac -> designware; disignware < sun/st

<wens> oliv3r: GMII has 8 pins for tx/rx each, MII has only 4 each, A20 does not have tx4-7 rx4-7 connected
<wens> oliv3r: not following # stmmac -> designware; disignware < sun/st
<wens> oliv3r: A31 has all the pins for GMII
<oliv3r> wens: ah, i stand corrected, so GMAC supports MII, RMII, RGMII, GMII, but a20 lacks pins so doesn't do GMII
<oliv3r> i can agree with that ;)
<wens> :)
<oliv3r> we should rename stmmac to designware (as u-boot does)
<oliv3r> then add support for both stm and sunxi, just like mripard did for the marvel i2c controller
eebrah_ has quit [Ping timeout: 272 seconds]
<oliv3r> wens: i thought GMII and MII had the same number of pins, hense the confusing

<mnemoc> the EMAC is available on two sets of pins
<oliv3r> on a20 yeah :D
<oliv3r> why can't I ever design a board :)
<mnemoc> focus has some nice docu about learning to do PCBs
<mnemoc> using oss obviusly
<oliv3r> i've done a few gEDA designs (basic ones)
<mnemoc> for using a SoM you only need to wire connectors
<oliv3r> but when you start to talk about DDR timings, antenna design etc, random decoupling caps etc you loose me
<oliv3r> sweet Ian got ahci to work, gotta diff his branch with mine and see what he changed
<mnemoc> the SoMs come with the DDR timings problem solved ;-)
<oliv3r> true
<oliv3r> it's like EOMA68 but diff
<oliv3r> :p
<mnemoc> each module has it's interface
notmart has joined #linux-sunxi
ZetaNeta has quit [Ping timeout: 245 seconds]
<mnemoc> olimex made some SoMs too
ZetaNeta has joined #linux-sunxi
<mnemoc> or look at the first cubie baseboard or the DAC thing... just turning extension headers into something useful
maz_ has joined #linux-sunxi
<mnemoc> sure on both there is a huge greed factor, but the design is very very simple
<oliv3r> yeah
<oliv3r> i must say I do appreciate the CT design
<oliv3r> it would fit nicely into a settopbox
<oliv3r> or PC box
<mnemoc> I want it on a VESA mountable case...
<mnemoc> for POS and kiosks
<oliv3r> yeah i've seen the DAC module; the price was outragous though; 300 USD
<oliv3r> mnemoc: you gonna open a kiosk? :p
<mnemoc> nah, but it's the perfect computer to hook behind an old TFT and make it productive
deasy has joined #linux-sunxi
<oliv3r> true
<oliv3r> but it'll need touchscreen :)
<mnemoc> office desktops, POSs, info terminals, etc etc
<mnemoc> sure
<mnemoc> but not always
<oliv3r> but yeah i can see potential for many such situations
<oliv3r> but seriously 300 EUro for a dac

<oliv3r> mnemoc: no full link :(
<oliv3r> mnemoc: but what specificall do you mean?
<mnemoc> using that to query script.bin instead of aw's API
<mnemoc> well... wrong branch, but the file is the same

<arokux> oliv3r: I'm connected directly to 100Mb router
<arokux> oliv3r: this is what I was able to get out of gmac under u-boot adding some additional bit poking
<arokux> oliv3r: however dhcp command failed...
<arokux> so I still wonder if it works.
<mnemoc> (in linux it does)
<arokux> maybe I should try designware first
<arokux> mnemoc: yep
<mnemoc> but random mac address is annoying :p
<arokux> wens: here is my update, take a look at previous messages ---^
<arokux> mnemoc: be glad it works :p

<arokux> mnemoc: ok
<mnemoc> which in most cases it's merely about updating the timestamp
<mnemoc> but still takes it's time
<arokux> mnemoc: what about publishing all those scripts? like I did here http://linux-sunxi.org/Possible_setups_for_hacking_on_mainline
<arokux> mnemoc: the title could be changed.
<mnemoc> I have a bunch at https://github.com/amery/git-import-help

JohnDoe_71Rus has quit [Read error: Connection reset by peer]
<torbenh3> arokux: do you have a git with your gmac driver handy ?
<arokux> torbenh3: sunxi-3.4 tree?
<mnemoc> stage 3.4
<torbenh3> yeah. or did it already land in sunxi-3.4 ?
<mnemoc> it's in stage/sunxi-3.4 until some issues get solved
<mnemoc> like proper mii handling
<mnemoc> or better defaults
<mnemoc> then it will be merged into sunxi-3.4
JohnDoe71rus has joined #linux-sunxi
<arokux> torbenh3: so just grab stage/sunxi-3.4
<torbenh3> got it.
<torbenh3> but there is a build error.
<arokux> ( torbenh3: and now you see how important it is to have something that works )
<arokux> torbenh3: pastebin it
<torbenh3> /media/x3/torbenh/sunxi/linux/arch/arm/mach-sun7i/pm/standby/../pm_types.h:14: error: redefinition of typedef ‘__s8’
<torbenh3> /media/x3/torbenh/sunxi/linux/include/asm-generic/int-ll64.h:19: note: previous declaration of ‘__s8’ was here
<torbenh3> sun7i_defconfig + gmac
<mnemoc> try removing the redefinition in mach-sun7i/pm/pm_types.h
<mnemoc> those errors are very toolchain specific.... my 4.6.3 doesn't even warn about it
<arokux> torbenh3: I compile with gcc-4.7.x, what is yours?
<torbenh3> -> arm-linux-gnueabi-gcc --version
<torbenh3> arm-linux-gnueabi-gcc (Debian 4.4.5-8) 4.4.5
<mnemoc> just remove the redefinitions
<torbenh3> all hell breaks loose then :)
<mnemoc> aw tends to be standby off-tree so they add some extra junk...
<mnemoc> s/be/build/
<arokux> mnemoc: maybe we should fix those redefinition to make it gcc 4.4 friendly? (patches welcome?? :p)
<mnemoc> of course we want to be 4.4 friendly
<arokux> but...?
<torbenh3> i turned off PM....
<mnemoc> so torbenh3 removes the redefines, builds, tests, submit fixes, and I apply them
<mnemoc> torbenh3: come on, just remove the extra lines
<oliv3r> never seen those at 4.6.3 either; but i recently updated my arm toolchain to 4.7 so i'm curious about new errors
<oliv3r> oh wow, that's an ol docmpiler, upgrade :)
<oliv3r> anything older then 4.6.3 doesn't deserve our time tbh :p
<mnemoc> the freaking file is even CRLF :\
<mnemoc> that's what I get by blindling pulling for-amery branches :<
<mnemoc> blindly*

<torbenh3> mnemoc: i told you that all hell break loose if i do that.
<torbenh3> i use this: http://paste.debian.net/65588/
<torbenh3> but there is more brokenness in the pm..
<mnemoc> probably they miss another include
<mnemoc> we do want gcc 4.4 support, and we need YOU for that :)
arete74 has joined #linux-sunxi
<arokux> mnemoc: why do we want gcc 4.4 support?
<mnemoc> it's part of the code cleanup
<mnemoc> if it breaks 4.4 it means there is something wrong with the code
<mnemoc> proper C (gnu99) should build on any 4.x toolchain
<mnemoc> compiler weirdnesses help to disclose mistakes
<arokux> mnemoc: why it works for 4.7?
<mnemoc> works on 4.6 as well
<mnemoc> different compilers have different levels of strictness, or make different assumtions
<mnemoc> but proper code will compile on any
<arokux> mnemoc: ok.
<mnemoc> makes sense?
<tomee^> but there is also this float abi hard/softp/soft vs armhf/armel vs neon/vfpv3 weirdness
<mnemoc> that doesn't affect the C part of the kernel
<tomee^> gcc can be quite tricky on which assembly snippet it uses and how it uses it
<arokux> tomee^: take a look http://linux-sunxi.org/A20-Cubietruck#Status_of_the_community_kernel_.28sunxi-3.4.29_.2F_U-Boot
<tomee^> mnemoc: oh, the kernel of course not.
<arokux> tomee^: what can you say about status of WiFi/BT?
<tomee^> mnemoc: in fact compiling kernel with any optimizations is a bad idea
<tomee^> arokux: yesterday been busy battling VDPAU
<tomee^> arokux: I can try recompiling the kernel now
<arokux> tomee^: do not rush into testing WiFi/BT, I thought you know the answer. but please update that status with some additional info.
<tomee^> I know that WiFi works.
<tomee^> ...in the cubie-supplied kernel ;)
<tomee^> no idea about BT yet
<tomee^> ok
<tomee^> should I use this branch?
<arokux> tomee^: also, you may want to ask ppl on the mailing list. lots are working on the same problems they just keep sitting quietly, but when they see something on the ML they respond.
<arokux> tomee^: Benn from Cubietech informed me they stick to https://github.com/cubieboard/linux-sunxi cubie/sunxi-3.4
<tomee^> yes but that's a fork
<arokux> tomee^: and I was asking about the status of stage/sunxi-3.4 - our kernel.
<tomee^> and you asked me to use your tree
<tomee^> that is linux-sunxi/linux-sunxi branch cubie-3.4 ?
<tomee^> erm, branch stage/sunxi-3.4 ?
<arokux> tomee^: yep
<arokux> tomee^: ethernet is there already.
<tomee^> ok
<tomee^> and cedar, which one? sunxi-cedar-mod or sun4i-cedar-mod ?
<tomee^> i've seen some differences in latest kernels
<arokux> I know nothing about cedar, mnemoc ?
<mnemoc> torbenh3: http://sprunge.us/TBPE works here
boycottg00gle has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
<mnemoc> no clue
<mnemoc> but in general we prefer unified drivers, sunxi-foo
<tomee^> ok
<tomee^> i will need to compare the cubieboard defconfing with your config parameters
<tomee^> to see if some differ
<tomee^> definitely not willing to go through menuconfig from scratch
<torbenh3> mnemoc: upps. overlooked the include linux/types.h... yeah. that one should work
<tomee^> ok, so the kernel tree is being checked out now
<arokux> mnemoc: what is this? "\ No newline at end of file"
<tomee^> meanwhile, any of you tried (wrote? :>) the vdpau driver?
<mnemoc> arokux: windows editors forget to add a new line marker at the end of the file, and vi fixes that
<arokux> tomee^: you should ask wingrime, ssvb rellla jemk etc.
<arokux> mnemoc: I see, but is this text present in C code?!
<mnemoc> no
<tomee^> are they around here sometimes? or only on mailing list/git/whatever ?
<mnemoc> `patch` deals with that
<jemk> tomee^: im here
<arokux> tomee^: yes, they are around... but you'd need to catch them.
<mnemoc> tomee^: jemk is one of the care cedarx devs
<tomee^> I see
<tomee^> anyway, I got it working, but now I am wondering if there's any way to use overlays with it
<tomee^> like subtitles
<binaryferret> If building android should I be using a different kernel branch than sunxi-3.4 for the kernel? mirror/android-3.4?
<tomee^> already implemented/planned or vlc->demux->vdpau->vram->memcpy->ram->overlays/compositing->memcpy->vram ...
<arokux> ( tomee^: you'd want to ping people so that they reply faster )
<jemk> tomee^: overlays aren't possible yet, i had tried it, but it needs a lot of memcpy which kills performance
<Turl> mnemoc: have you seen benn this week?
<jemk> tomee^: or it needs some way to interact with the xorg driver (or ignore it and take the whole screen)
<mnemoc> nope
<tomee^> jemk: neither with "pure" libcedarx?
<arokux> Turl: I had some e-mail communication with him
<mnemoc> Turl: notmart
<mnemoc> err
<mnemoc> notmart: sorry
<jemk> tomee^: i don't work on libcedarx, but it doesn't have overlays either
<tomee^> jemk: i see. so what's rendered inside the program window/fb coords cannot be in any way changed.
<tomee^> jemk: only possibility is to f*ck with memcpys which will bring the performance back to softdecoding or draw other stuff aside (e.g. subtitles below the video, given the video is not full-screen)
<tomee^> jemk: did I get that right?
<Turl> maybe you can use disp layers for that
<jemk> tomee^: yes, thats one way, the other would be to figure out some inteligent way of using disp layers, but as only two layers can be blended and the video layer already is the second one...
<jemk> for fullscreen it would be no problem at all, there video is back layer and subtitles front layer
<mnemoc> torbenh3: did that patch work for you?
<jemk> but in window mode desktop is back layer and video front and nothing left for overlay
enrico_ has joined #linux-sunxi
<torbenh3> mnemoc: i have other things todo.... testing it in the evening.
<tomee^> jemk: hmm, so in fullscreen 2 layers can be blended...
<jemk> for fully visible windows same as fullscreen, but such things can only be decided by xorg driver
<tomee^> jemk: you mean that 2 RGBA framebuffers are composited into one?
<mnemoc> torbenh3: np :) please let me know to push it
<jemk> tomee^: disp can blend two layers without copy, but only two
<tomee^> ok
<tomee^> so that would require 3 or 4 framebuffers?
<tomee^> 1 for widgets, 1 for video, another one for off-screen widget redraw = 3 ?
<tomee^> and then swapping 3->1 then compositing 1+2 ?
naobsd has joined #linux-sunxi
<tomee^> arokux: should your kernel work with the cubie bootloader? or your bootloader with the cubie kernel? or should I reinstall both at once?
<jemk> tomee^: in vdpau those are all handled by VideoSurfaces and OutputSurfaces, so that's no problem, the only problem is to bring those surfaces to display without copying them around
ganbold_ has quit [Ping timeout: 244 seconds]
<tomee^> but that's not yet implemented, right? :)
<jemk> right, because it is nearly impossible to get fully compatible vdpau. it would be easy to write it for special needs like fullscreen, but not universal
<tomee^> yeah, I know
<jemk> well, not impossible if you allow copying, but that makes watching 1080p not very funny
<tomee^> but vdpau is already somewhat more promising than cedarx... since VDPAU is at least SOMEWHAT of an abstraction layer
ganbold_ has joined #linux-sunxi
<jemk> but it's an abstraction layer that has too many possible ways of doing things that can't be represented by the limited hardware in arm socs.
<tomee^> yup
<tomee^> I cannot argue with the fact that you are right and more your knowledge is more comprehensive that mine
<tomee^> still, from my point of view, mplayer+vdpau/sunxi=no subtitles ;-)
<tomee^> while, I think, the stagefright android binaries somehow do support subtitle rendering in hardware
<jemk> possible, but android hasn't have to handle obscured windows. if the vdpau window is allways on top the same as for fullscreen works
<Turl> you could composite all desktop and subtitles by software to a layer and have the video on the 2nd one
<JohnDoe71rus> your kernel 3.4 only for Linux? suitable for android?
<jemk> Turl: i talked with ssvb some months ago about possible tricks, but they all need much work and xorg driver interaction
<jemk> like only copying the part of the video that is used for subtitles
<tomee^> Turl: couldn't that be done with acceleration? the compositing I mean.
<tomee^> I don't care about playback in a window as long as I can draw something on the video
<Turl> I'm not much into the graphics stack, but I think there's two alpha layers that get blended by sw
<Turl> if you can put the subtitles onto the desktop layer, then they could be overlayed over the video
<mnemoc> JohnDoe71rus: for android you need a different defconfig. crane in the case of a10 for example
<mnemoc> JohnDoe71rus: but the tree is androidized
<tomee^> jemk: when I played with mxplayer, I managed to get 2 sets of subtitles (one s/w, one h/w I guess), plus the top menu bar visible... this is far from Xorg complexity, but shows that the hardware can cope with that
<JohnDoe71rus> can i take defconfig from lichee 3.3 ?
<tomee^> Turl: say, an mplayer playing transparent video file + subtitles overlaid on top of the proper vdpau-drawn video?
<Turl> tomee^: I mean one layer with your desktop, mplayer window, a hole instead of video, and subtitles inside the hole
<Turl> and a second layer with the video
<tomee^> arokux: CC [M] drivers/net/wireless/bcmdhd/dhd_linux.o drivers/net/wireless/bcmdhd/dhd_linux.c: In function ‘dhd_os_prealloc’: drivers/net/wireless/bcmdhd/dhd_linux.c:5192:2: error: implicit declaration of function ‘wl_android_prealloc’ [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]
<tomee^> arokux: I guess you should ifdef the DHD_OS_PREALLOC option for non-android builds... or I did something wrong
<jemk> Turl: possible, but not nice, especially as vdpau redraws all layers each frame, so the subtitles get redrawn too
<mnemoc> http://sprunge.us/ESHh .... wee... and I broke every driver now because of node duplication :p
<arokux> tomee^: cubietech guys just grab our u-boot i think.
<arokux> tomee^: i do not know what they have preinstalled
<mnemoc> i would bet they just use allwinner's SDK like olimex
<arokux> tomee^: but if using an uSD card you need to flash the bootloader anyways
<arokux> tomee^: so grab ours, it has support for CT, however it won't see 2GiB of RAM, there is patch for that.
<arokux> tomee^: oliv3r said if you are lucky the kernel will still see 2GiB of RAM
<mnemoc> mine doesn't...
<arokux> tomee^: where is that error msg comming from?
<arokux> oliv3r: how to be lucky so that the kernel sees 2GiB on CT?
<mnemoc> <6>Memory: 448MB 512MB = 960MB total
<mnemoc> <5>Memory: 830820k/830820k available, 152220k reserved, 270336K highmem
<mnemoc> the mem info comes from the ATAGs written by u-boot
<arokux> mnemoc: same for me, I think.
<mnemoc> and from the .dtb in the case of 3.10+

<tomee^> MemTotal: 1869208 kB
<tomee^> MemFree: 1337728 kB
<tomee^> well, I'd prefer 2GB over 1GB ;)
<tomee^> so I will try sticking with the cubie bootloader
<tomee^> btw I wonder why they downclocked the bootloader for CT to 432MHz
<tomee^> if cubieboard2 is @480MHz
<arokux> mnemoc: tomee^ http://sprunge.us/RISD
<arokux> tomee^: how can you stick to their bootloader and use sunxi-3.4 kernel?
<tomee^> hmm, why not?
<arokux> oh, you just hit a key so you get prompt and then boot our kernel?
<tomee^> their bootloader is a fork of linux-sunxi uboot anyways I think
<mnemoc> allwinner's bootloader does not pass ATAGs
<mnemoc> but fixing u-boot-sunxi's cubietruck's dram struct would solve it based on oliv3r's comment
<tomee^> mnemoc: you mean just replacing 432 with 480 in the code?
<tomee^> or is the patch more extensive?
<arokux> tomee^: we are talking about size, not freq
<arokux> tomee^: Turl has some patches handy for increasing freq, though, you may want to take a look at those
<tomee^> arokux: 432MHz. that's the speed at which my board runs with sunxi bootloader, too. but look here:http://dl.cubieboard.org/software/a20-cubietruck/common/ct-v101_sys_config.fex
<tomee^> arokux: I simply do not know why 432MHz if the hardware can do 480... they downclocked it for security purposes in the first batch?
<arokux> tomee^: sorry, I have no idea.
<tomee^> arokux: I've heard somewhere that someone complained about overheating of the prototype
<arokux> tomee^: Turl may know.
<Turl> dunno, we should ask benn
<tomee^> arokux: and about the error you asked me about
<tomee^> arokux: it comes from the bcmdhd driver compilation

<arokux> hi juanfont_
<arokux> please add your findings here: http://linux-sunxi.org/CedarX/Misc_Docs
<juanfont_> hi :)
<juanfont_> it was a question
<arokux> juanfont_: you'll get the answer hopefully and so I kindly ask you to update that page with it. :) thanks!
<juanfont_> i'll update it, sure :)
<mnemoc> arokux: that's exactly why we started the wiki. to have an structured central but open source of all sunxi related information

<jemk> juanfont_: if you have xbmc running fullscreen or even without xorg it is much easier
<jemk> juanfont_: but xthe upstream bmc uses opengl for rendering, so it's totaly different there anyways
<tomee^> arokux: about irclogs, it would be nice if the wiki had an irc colorizer or allowed pasting html code. but that's not very important
<arokux> tomee^: what is interesting to colorize in IRC logs, it is not a code?
<juanfont_> jemk but, XBMC+VDPUA is not possible due to the lack of the required OpenGL extension in OpenGLES, is it?
<arokux> tomee^: there is some color here: http://linux-sunxi.org/Bootable_SD_card
<jemk> juanfont_: think so, but i didn't look too deep into xbmc
<tomee^> arokux: colorize nick names.

<ssvb> tomee^: 480mhz memory clock speed is too fast for cubieboard2
<ssvb> tomee^: it needs to be reduced, or we will keep getting reports about occasional stability issues from some users
<tomee^> ssvb: and cubietruck too?
<tomee^> ssvb: even though the spec says its ok?
<oliv3r> the spec lies!
<ssvb> tomee^: the spec says 400mhz for dram
<tomee^> arokux: this would require either dragging my amplituner and tv to my workstation, or dragging my workstation there, or wiring up an arduino in between, or whatever. not that simple ;)
<ssvb> tomee^: but the spec also says 1.2ghz for the cpu, which is overly optimistic :)
<tomee^> ssvb: ok, maybe I misread. or the spec was wrong.
<tomee^> ssvb: yeah. what's the safe speed? 1008? 912 ?
<tomee^> given I have a radiator and and airflow
<ssvb> tomee^: what's more important is that some real users are having real problems at 480mhz dram clock
<arokux> oliv3r: please resolve confusion! http://sprunge.us/CaCB
<arokux> oliv3r: see this: http://sprunge.us/hMNZ
<arokux> ssvb: do you have something to add to the Memory freq bullet here: http://linux-sunxi.org/A20-Cubietruck#Status_of_the_community_kernel_.28sunxi-3.4.29_.2F_U-Boot
<arokux> ssvb: do you have something to add at all there? please update if so.
<tomee^> ssvb: i see. so 432 for ram is safe. and for cpu?
<oliv3r> woa lots of links pasted
<arokux> oliv3r: last one is the most up to date.
<oliv3r> dram_para needs to be set up correctly, it can be set up for 2 GiB without problem
<oliv3r> let me explain the u-boot bug paste on that dram para you pasted
<arokux> oliv3r: in fex?
<oliv3r> sunxi_dram_init() checks the memory size (dramc_init does)
<oliv3r> what you pasted, dram_cubietruck.sc
<oliv3r> now, the cubietruck has 2 GiB of ram, but we return an int
<arokux> ssvb: how are those numbers picked?
<oliv3r> as you know, int (in contrast to unsigned int!) runs from -2 GiB to +2 GiB -1
<arokux> oliv3r: I get it. how to make kernel see all 2GiB, fex parameter?
<oliv3r> so the int is overflowing :)
<ssvb> arokux: these numbers are from Tsvetan2, I have no idea how he got them
<arokux> ssvb: how did you get 432?
<oliv3r> arokux: .size is 2048 MiB
<ssvb> arokux: 432?
<oliv3r> arokux: lol no, nothing is needed for the kernel, uboot needs to pass the parameter properly
<arokux> ssvb: <tomee^> ssvb: i see. so 432 for ram is safe. and for cpu?
<oliv3r> u-boot tells the kernel it has minus 2 GiB, but the kernel is smart enough to figure ou tthat that's wrong :p
<oliv3r> (it's not, but if you cast an int into an unsigned in you get lucky and it works)
<arokux> oliv3r: this is apparently not the case. sooo... how to make kernel see 2GiB?
<oliv3r> use my u-boot
<tomee^> 432=dram clock speed
<oliv3r> kernel doesn't need anything for 2 GiB
<oliv3r> oh wait yes it does
<arokux> oliv3r: you said the kernel should still be fine with old u-boot - or I got it wrong?!
<ssvb> arokux: somebody has put 432 dram clock setup into u-boot for cubietruck by default, ask hno and/or oliv3r where they got it from :)
<oliv3r> it is fine, but you need:
<ssvb> arokux: I think benn planned to do some memory stability/overclocking tests on a large set of boards
<arokux> ssvb: I've poked at him, see ML
<tomee^> arokux: hmm, wifi wont come up
<arokux> tomee^: but now you have network, right?
<ssvb> arokux: good, but it would have been better if you did some search for the already known information first :)
<tomee^> arokux: gmac.
<arokux> ssvb: sorry, not enough time, and i'm still noob.

<oliv3r> arokux: something like Memory split (3G/1G user/kernel split)
<oliv3r> but i don't remember exactly
<oliv3r> you need the 'high memory' stuff basically
<arokux> oliv3r: have you tested it?
<oliv3r> of course
<arokux> ssvb: I've updated http://linux-sunxi.org/A20-Cubietruck#Status_of_the_community_kernel_.28sunxi-3.4.29_.2F_U-Boot
<oliv3r> but i forgot the exact kernel option; i'm looking it up for you
<arokux> oliv3r: not for me, for everybody :p
<oliv3r> not everboydy has a board :p
<oliv3r> only 'us' :)
<oliv3r> for now
<arokux> oliv3r: no.. tomee^ and some others have the board already!
<oliv3r> arokux: enable CONFIG_HIGHMEM and see if it works
<arokux> oliv3r: so either we quickly fix sunxi-3.4 or loose them forever.
<oliv3r> it should be CONFIG_HIGHMEM if memory serves me right
<oliv3r> and that's not a sunxi problem!
<oliv3r> it's a general 'what if i have 2 gb or more memory on a 32bit architecture'
<arokux> oliv3r: what is not sunxi problem?
<oliv3r> but it should be documented; i think i've set the proper .config settings in the 3.10 kernel
<arokux> oliv3r: so if CONFIG_HIGHMEM it should be added to sun7i_defconfig?
<oliv3r> test it to be sure; but then yes
<oliv3r> sun4i too
<tomee^> arokux: http://sprunge.us/gXEK <- this is what it looks like on a kernel I downloaded from cubieboard.org

<oliv3r> Memory: 1868996k/1868996k available, 162620k reserved, 1318912K highmem

<arokux> juanfont: please paste your conversation on overlays to hat Misc_Docs pages, thanks.

<tomee^> no /lib/firmware/ap6210/fw_bcmxxxx.bin
<tomee^> /lib/firmware/ap6210/nvram_apxxxx.txt exists

<gzamboni> i have the /dev/spidev0.0 but when i try to test it using the compiled spidev_test.c example i just get: can't send spi message: Invalid argument Aborted
<tomee^> arokux: and I would prefer your kernel too ;-)
<arokux> tomee^: first we just need to go to their kernel and cherry pick stuff. it shouldn't be hard. then we fix it - takes more time.

<Montjoie> hello, I have perhaps hit a bug in sunxi-3.4, does someone with CRYPTO_USER_API want to test my poc http://pastebin.com/33MKW7R9?
<hramrach> there are problems @ 480MHz even on A10, more on a20. So they downclocked for the new board and pray that they get fewer issues I guess
hipboi has joined #linux-sunxi
<arokux> Montjoie: This paste has been removed!
<hramrach> but there is no extensive stability testing with *any* clock speed I suspect. They make a handful of prototypes, test them, do test batch, and we are currently testing that :p
<arokux> hramrach: how do they pick that numbers?
<hramrach> from thin air
<Montjoie> arokux, here http://pastebin.com/n2kmXcD3
<hramrach> you know, the 480MHz on A10 worked like 90%
<hramrach> that's decent but not good enough
<Montjoie> my problem is that after 164864 - 1024 bytes, sendmsg block forever
<arokux> Montjoie: look how nice it could have been: http://sprunge.us/cahH?c
<tomee^> hramrach: yeah. and how do the ram problems manifest themselves? so far I've only had trouble with make -j2 once - the gmac stopped responding, but upon reloading it was OK
<hramrach> and they don;t ahve the budget to make a batch of thousands boards (or at least hundreds) and extensively test all of them
<hramrach> tomee^: I have no idea. I don;t have problems. You can try searching the ML for some problems that were blamed on ram
<arokux> Montjoie: please extend the last bullet here with instructions etc, I will test tonight: http://linux-sunxi.org/User:Arokux#TODO
<arokux> Montjoie: please specify which boards/kernels should I use.
<hramrach> but there are reportedly 'stability issues'
<Montjoie> ok arokux
<tomee^> hramrach: maybe I will face them too... since its the 1st batch...
<hramrach> tomee^: sometimes problems with -j2 are also makefile problems
<hramrach> and they are not reliably reproducible either
<hramrach> if it's it never happens with -j1 don't blame ram
<tomee^> hramrach: so far, I know for sure that it ran ok for 24hr+ seeding torrents (legal stuff of course), and a couple of hours playing video
<tomee^> hramrach: I suspect the driver is flawed and simply shut down on race conditions
<hramrach> you can try multiple -j1 builds in parallel for testing. Or run a cedar using video player while building for extra memory stress testing
FDCX has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
<tomee^> hramrach: and with make -j2 + ethernet + ddrt + wifi2.4 + openwrt + wifi5ghz + ssh session there is a big chance of retransmissions
<hramrach> also if gmac shuts down it might just be bug in the driver
FDCX has joined #linux-sunxi
<ssvb> tomee^: gcc compilation of itself, 7-zip (p7zip) benchmark and memtester can be used to spot obvious memory stability problems
<hramrach> I like booted the board and sshd in but that's pretty much everything I did
<Montjoie> arokux, I do not have the rights to edit this page
<hramrach> Montjoie: everyone does
<hramrach> just register and don't post links
<Montjoie> I have just registred
<ssvb> tomee^: also the simultaneous use of mali has been observed to make it break at a lower dram clock frequency than with just cpu alone
<hramrach> arokux: on arm you need higmem for 1G
<tomee^> ssvb: yeah, a lot of memset & memcpy in video
<hramrach> was it dropped from sun4i?
<tomee^> ssvb: zeroing a large parge of nonbuffered ram could even lead to capacitor/voltage regulator problems
<tomee^> ssvb: this is stuff you face even in "enterprise" servers if you use desktop memory chips
<hramrach> Montjoie: ok, that page has links already so to edit it you might need to ask mnemoc to make an exception for you
<hramrach> because the spam filter pretty much flags every link as spam
<hramrach> tomee^: that's why there are server memry sticks with less power draw :p
<tomee^> hramrach: ... and buffering and ECC-R.
<ssvb> tomee^: the dram chips themselves are rated as DDR3-1333, the problematic part is likely inside of the A20 SoC
<tomee^> ssvb: why can't it be related to the voltage/power circuitry?
<tomee^> ssvb: I mean, the same stuff works in thousands of samsung smartphones, right?
<tomee^> ssvb: but they probably spent some time designing the power supply
<ssvb> tomee^: which same stuff?
<tomee^> Mali GPU ?
<hramrach> even if it's power circuitry it's the way it is on the board
<oliv3r> arokux: re: your mail to benn; is there still confusion or has it been resolved/
<hramrach> but the amount of ram on the board is ridiculously small and so is the frequency
<arokux> oliv3r: ppl are saying the correct freq it determined experimentally.....
<ssvb> tomee^: how is mali related other than providing additional stress on the memory controller and maybe having some problematic memory access pattern which triggers the issue more easily?
<tomee^> hramrach: if you "forget" a capacitor somewhere... or better yet, power the device from a impulse 0,5A "universal usb charger" for $5...
<oliv3r> arokux: yeah, the chip is somewhat buggy sometimes, depends on the quality of your chip, so the 'safest' freq. is 380 :p i think standard is 432, but some can clock upto 480. I think tom even had samples that would run at 520 MHz but I don't think it was fully stable :)
<ssvb> tomee^: btw, cubieboard and cubieboard2 are using identical PCBs, but cubieboard2 has more problems with dram overclocking
<tomee^> ssvb: I admit, it might be not. I just don't know if it's allwinner's flaw really... or the PCB
<arokux> oliv3r: please reply like this to my request to benn, then we make a wiki page out of the ML thread
Soru___ has quit [Read error: Connection reset by peer]
<tomee^> ssvb: identical PCBs but the hardware on it is different
<ssvb> oliv3r: I kinda successfully overclocked dram in my cubieborad2 to 552MHz, but this was only possible with 552MHz mbus :)
<tomee^> so this would suggest a problem with the PCB
<ssvb> tomee^: which part is different other than SoC?
Soru has joined #linux-sunxi
<ssvb> oliv3r, Turl: higher mbus frequency seems to mean better stability for dram when running at the higher clock speed, at least that's what I have observed with my board
<tomee^> ssvb: I didn't analyze thoroughly
<tomee^> ssvb: but cb1 came with 0,5GB ram at first I think
<tomee^> ssvb: plus the A20 SoC comes with "dual-core" Mali
<tomee^> which would mean "need more juice at peak"
<tomee^> of course I may be mistaken
<tomee^> but I have played around with AVR chips, I²C buses and the like
<tomee^> and it is really funny how the hardware can behave if you power it improperly
<oliv3r> ssvb: what about higher ddr voltage, 1.3V instead of 1.25V that should increase it all too
<tomee^> or have signal interference/current leaks through pulldown resistors/whatever
<oliv3r> obviously allwinner prefer the lower voltage for better battery life
<ssvb> tomee^: Tsvetan2 sees to say that ~20% of A20 chips have drastically worse dram overclocking capabilities
<buZz> tomee^: yeah try 230V AC for once ;)
<tomee^> buZz: what, in your opinion, is the voltage of a 5V "phone charger" ?
<ssvb> tomee^: and replacing A20 chips on the PCB resolved the issues for the problematic boards
<tomee^> buZz: especially plotted against current(A) draw?
<buZz> tomee^: usually? like 4.6V
<tomee^> buZz: I'd say 3,5 to 8v
<buZz> :)
<buZz> yeah especially the cheap ones
<arokux> tomee^: olimex boards are flexible in that respect.
<tomee^> buZz: and the current/voltage is not a straight line. it's a mess. it is power regulator's job to flatted it out.

<Dapsaille> ssvb => do you know the minimum pixel clock on an a13 board ?

<arokux> Montjoie: ok. will sun4i also do? sun7i - I'll test on cubietruck.

<Montjoie> you can test
<tomee^> ssvb: yes.
<arokux> Montjoie: ok!
<Montjoie> I want to be sure that it is not myself the problem:)
<Montjoie> this bug is blocking all my progress on the security system
Soru___ has joined #linux-sunxi
<tomee^> ssvb: I just think it may be ONLY cubieboard design flaw. or a little error, say, the spec from allwinner said "+/- 10%" whereas it runs only on "+/- 5%", cubie implemented it as written in the spec (or even "oh, let's make it 15%") and hence the trouble

<tomee^> Dapsaille: frankly speaking, everything that weighs less than 0,5kg and costs less than $30 can't be considered a dependable power supply
<Dapsaille> :)
<tomee^> and people often don't realize that
<tomee^> for example, plug a Xenon HID to a non-stabilized PSU and see what happens
<tomee^> and they don't sell stabilized PSUs, because they are big and costly
<Dapsaille> i've just replaced one of them in a diy thermal/humidity controller .. he just burned ....
<tomee^> yeah
<mnemoc> arokux: I broke all drivers here, so my dmesg does look nice :p
<tomee^> drawing too much current from a cheap impulse PSU can cause anything from voltage drops to the PSU becoming a pass-through of AC voltage ;)
<binaryferret> Anyone had any luck getting ektf2k touch screen driver to work with sunxi kernel? It keeps throwing a wobbler about 'Unknown symbol register_early_suspend' which I've read was taken out in an earlier linux kernel version.
<binaryferret> I grabbed the driver from another source tho as I've been trying a few things. Just wondering if anyone can help.
<Dapsaille> for christmas i hope to have a lab regulated power supply of 0 - 30 V DC / 0 - 5 A 150 W

<tomee^> what bitrate... how much vector optimizations, keyframes, ...
<rz2k> speakman: iirc we never had full hardware manual for the voltage part
<arokux> nove: hm.. so the promised performance cannot be even achieved with the blob? how do you know the hardware can really do more?

<arokux> oliv3r: no. i'm using sunxi-u-boot, but you said it should be fine too and that kernel is smart enough to figure out the memory size by itself. is it not true?
Soru__ has joined #linux-sunxi
<oliv3r> it doesn't figure anything out, but the overflown int cast back to an int makes it so that it shouldn't be an issue
<oliv3r> the kernel NEEDS u-boot to tell it its correct size; for that to work, the .size and .density parameters need to be correct

<hramrach> I have Debian image on my A10. It works as much as you can expect of an A10
<hramrach> meaning that Gnome is sluggish - this is expected and tunable
<hramrach> and video decoding is buggy as hell
<pfdm> arokux: I've seen your todo list, I have a pkgbuild for arch kernel 3.4.61 with cedar patches, if you want to update the official repo.
<hramrach> the gnome performance is not a showstopper. You can use less demanding desktop and wiht Lima doing proper buffer management you can get doublebuffering and probably better performance
<hramrach> but there is no known way to decode video on an a10/a20
<hramrach> 10bit media is common and cedar either cannot decode that or it is not known how to feed it such media

<arokux> hramrach: is it better with A20?
<pfdm> arokux: No I don't have a repo, but it's nothing special. Let me verify. What is not merged yet, is montjoie patch for axp209 temperature sensors.
<hramrach> unknown. there is possibility to tune mbus which seems to yield better memcpy performance but how it affects scanout and what speeds are still stable is untested
<Dapsaille> regarding resolutions of a13 i've found this .. does it mean that a13 can output 1920x1080 ? http://service.awbase.com:8000/faq/index.php/A13_LCD%E6%A8%A1%E7%BB%84%E5%88%97%E8%A1%A8
<Dapsaille> may output .. sorry :)
<hramrach> and since I don't have a 1080p screen I won't test this I guess
<arokux> hramrach: i see.
<hramrach> it can output 1080i without issue. with 1080p you may have issues when the system is not idle. might be better with 50Hz over 60Hz ans 16bpp over 32bpp. ymmv

<oliv3r> but i think it's because the overflow issue at 2 GiB isn't really big, and some cast magic actually fixes it below the line; it's still a bug

<arokux2> oliv3r: u-boot as u-boot maintainers?
<oliv3r> but you saw the mails; they where arguing about random shit without even looking at the stuff
<oliv3r> u-boot maintainers say 'we have other boards, it works fine'
<oliv3r> but i think if you skip the memory detection check, you don't hit the bug
<arokux2> oliv3r: yes, hopefully they will be more focused if they see code.
<oliv3r> which is what they are arguing about
Soru_ has joined #linux-sunxi
<oliv3r> and now for the secret to be revealed, mailing list time
<arokux2> oliv3r: +1
<arokux2> oliv3r: have you tried to skip that detection on CT?
hipboi has quit [Quit: Leaving]
<oliv3r> memory detection should be used; and butchering u-boot over it will be a lot of useless work
<oliv3r> btw, i can confirm current u-boot will not ever work with more then 1 GiB right now, as it's limited to not ever check more then 1 GiB :)

<oliv3r> *barf*
Soru_ has joined #linux-sunxi
<arokux2> oliv3r: oh, could you improve that sunxi limitation only? ppl are really pissed off if we tell them kernel sees only 1GiB, even if the second GiB is not really used.
<oliv3r> i'll prepare my patches, resend them to u-boot ML and then push it ot ours
<oliv3r> we can always remove the patch(es)

<torbenh3> jemk: you said you were having troubles with gmac transmitting stuff in u-boot ?
<jemk> torbenh3: yes, did you get it work?
<torbenh3> jemk: i am seeing the same thing in mainline, i think
<torbenh3> jemk: i see packets being reveived fine.
<jemk> torbenh3: with the driver from cubieboard ported to mainline?
<torbenh3> jemk: yes.
<torbenh3> jemk: but transmission of packets doesnt work.
<torbenh3> looks ok, from the dma pov.
<jemk> you really receive them in software, or only the led blinks?
<torbenh3> driver debug features, print out the contents of rx packets.
<torbenh3> i see them.
<jemk> ok, thats better then u-boot, there i don't see anything at the software side
<torbenh3> hmm... ok. then we are seeing seomthing different i guess.
Soru_ has joined #linux-sunxi
<jemk> torbenh3: do you correctly set up the gmac module clock (0x01c20164 = 0x00000006), as this is responsible for the transmit clock, but NOT for the rx clock

<hno> <hno> oliv3r^
<hno> <hno> but changes to u-boot core should really be sent to u-boot mailinglist for discussion.

<oliv3r> hno: ok, rgr
<techn_> arokux2: might solve.. I was thinking if it need to be fex file variated
<oliv3r> hno: i did send the patch and even discussed it, but they kinda ignored the content of the patch, had some small talk; and then just gave up
<oliv3r> hno: so would have been happy if you would have weighted in on u-boot ML; i'll resend the patch again though.

<oliv3r> strange
<oliv3r> no clue what's causing that
<oliv3r> or where the fault is in that
<hramrach> maybe *that* is compiler ;-)
<arokux2> oliv3r: DRAM: 1 GiB
<arokux2> oliv3r: please make it be 2 :)
<oliv3r> you sure your compiling the right hting?
<oliv3r> this is the full 2 GB patch thing
<arokux2> oliv3r: this "DRAM: 1 GiB" is our u-boot
<arokux2> oliv3r: yours gives crash
<oliv3r> that is my u-boot
<oliv3r> i just compiled it and flashed it
<mnemoc> anyone has the a10meminfo from a running 2GB CT?
<oliv3r> mnemoc: was merged a while ago
<arokux2> mnemoc: a10meminfo where do I get it?
<mnemoc> but why does it insist in telling 1GB?
<arokux2> oliv3r: have you managed to compile it?
<oliv3r> make distclean fixed it
<hramrach> oliv3r: for nits - it causes problem for 2G or more. you only get 2G on arm but that's a problem already
<oliv3r> because I did make all_boards a while ago
<oliv3r> hramrach: que?
<hramrach> the commit text
<oliv3r> what's wrong there?
<hramrach> more than 2G
<arokux2> oliv3r: U-Boot 2013.10-rc2-08404-g5298fe2 <--- what is this hash?
<hramrach> it should be 2G or more
<oliv3r> that's the git hash from git that was used during the compile
<oliv3r> hramrach: let me read commit log to ompiare :) i wrote that 2 months ago
<arokux2> oliv3r: hashes here are different: https://github.com/oliv3r/u-boot-sunxi/commits/wip/2GiB
<arokux2> mnemoc: https://github.com/maxnet/a10-meminfo <-- want me to run it?
<mnemoc> arokux2: on a 2GB CT booting the stock OS
<arokux2> where do I get correct MAC address for Cubietruck?
<mnemoc> but oliv3r said it's already apploed on u-boot
<oliv3r> arokux2: from wherver you want :)
<mnemoc> so I don't know
<hramrach> arokux2: /dev/urandom
<arokux2> mnemoc: :$ how can i do something in the stock os..?
<oliv3r> mnemoc: it's uploaded to u-boot, it's uploaded to sunxi-boards
<mnemoc> :\
<mnemoc> hno!
<hramrach> arokux2: what problem are you having with the stock os?
<oliv3r> mnemoc: what's wrong?
<arokux2> hramrach: I do not know how can I get a nice shell
<hramrach> I did get a shell on serial
<arokux2> oliv3r: give me the hash of you wip branch!
<mnemoc> oliv3r: CPU: Allwinner A20 (SUN7I)
<mnemoc> Board: Cubietruck
<mnemoc> DRAM: 1 GiB
<mnemoc> I2C: ready
<hramrach> or with adb in the case of andriod
<arokux2> hramrach: without prompt?
<arokux2> mnemoc: +1

<mnemoc> i can live with 1GB... but something is clearly wrong
<mnemoc> arokux2: the last commit on the tree I think
<arokux2> mnemoc: why is it prepended with g???
<hramrach> git
<arokux2> hramrach: thanks!
<oliv3r> flash that to an SD card (bs=1024, seek=8) and see if that changes things
<mnemoc> *g*
<arokux2> mnemoc: dd if=u-boot-sunxi-with-spl.bin of=/dev/sde bs=1024 seek=8 && sync && eject /dev/sde
<arokux2> mnemoc: /dev/sde WATCH OUT!
<mnemoc> :)
<mnemoc> ok, i'll try oliv3r's spl
* arokux2 tries it too
<mnemoc> i used the one of the nightlies made out of the head of the sunxi branch
<arokux2> oliv3r: success: http://sprunge.us/PPEa
<oliv3r> mnemoc: sunxi branch only does 1 G
<mnemoc> fix it ;-)
<arokux2> hramrach: where do they get MAC addresses for the stickers they put on your RJ-45?
<hramrach> arokux2: do you get sicker on your board?
<hramrach> sticker
<oliv3r> arokux2: you buy them from IEEE or whatever
<mnemoc> arokux2: MAC addresses are sold
<arokux2> hramrach: on Mele A1000 - yes, there was a sticker.
<oliv3r> arokux2: cubietech SHOULD have bought a MAC (per board) but haven't
<mnemoc> oliv3r: thanks! 2GB
<hramrach> if you have ROM to burn them to
<oliv3r> ok arokux2 can you repull my tree, and build that?
<hramrach> which most A10/A20 boards don't
<arokux2> oliv3r: !! your git hub wasn't up to date!
<oliv3r> olimex has i2c rom, but doesn't buy mac either; these are 'dev boards' and don't get mac's. then again Mele doesn't buy a mac either
<oliv3r> arokux2: you pushed to fast :p
<oliv3r> pulled
<hramrach> no change here
<mnemoc> arokux2: just set a MAC on userspace
<oliv3r> if mnemoc and arokux2 can compile and use this u-boot; i will push
<oliv3r> mnemoc: rather set it via boot env of u-boot
<oliv3r> a little cleaner imo :)
<mnemoc> true
<arokux2> oliv3r: Mele did put sticker
focus2 has joined #linux-sunxi
<oliv3r> arokux2: so maybe they did buy a valid mac; good!
<mnemoc> arokux2: mele bought addresses, and write them on the u-boot of each device
<mnemoc> u-boot env*
<oliv3r> arokux2: basically, companies buy a mac 'block' like 10 million or whatever mac addresses, they buy the 'prefix', in USB words, the vendor ID; they can then use as many mac addresses as they want from that pool
<arokux2> mnemoc: do you already see 2GiB in kernel?
<oliv3r> arokux2: btw, if you boot android from flash, just do 'ls' fromt he console, it will work :)
<mnemoc> arokux2: yes, with oliv3r's .bin
<oliv3r> one hugely annoying feature of having a battery backed cubietruck, is you can't just yank the power cord to reset/power it off :)
<oliv3r> ok fixing commit messages, then pushing to sunxi u-boot

<mnemoc> ^---- looks sexy
<arokux2> mnemoc: can we do something like RSS? and tell subscribers: 2GiB now visible in U-Boot and kernel?
<hramrach> just edit the CT status I guess
<mnemoc> sunxi G+ group?
<arokux2> mnemoc: nooo please, noooo
<mnemoc> linus and greg use a G+ group as official Linux blog
<oliv3r> arokux2: power down ;) but yeah i learned to love the reset button
<arokux2> mnemoc: ok, why should we?

<arokux2> oliv3r: how can you get this??????????
<oliv3r> i did just rebase to update all commit messages
<oliv3r> arokux2: does that include HEAD? i think it does, i only wanna send a few patches, but not the top few; i thought the syntax was 'from hash'-'to hash' but never gotten that to work
<mnemoc> just make a hash range
<oliv3r> mnemoc: ho
<oliv3r> hramrach: so works for old stuff too
<arokux2> oliv3r: then my line is wrong - it includes from hash and up
<oliv3r> yeah i tried to do hash-ranges before, i never gottten it to work
<mnemoc> 497a5f88d1a4fda8042b585879e36ccd5a1156e4..HEAD^ ?
<oliv3r> ok lets try
<hramrach> I use something like HEAD~3 to get 3 patches
<hramrach> but why HEAD^ ?
<arokux2> hramrach: what compiler are u using, plz run --version
<hramrach> excluding last patch?
<oliv3r> git format-patch 43cafbd^..da7a3b6
<oliv3r> works, angel

<Dapsaille> no :)
<jemk> arokux2: 1) disable dcache ^^ 2) the gmac version seems to be different from the designware.c one, so some more bits need to be set
<Dapsaille> thanks
<arokux2> Dapsaille: take a look at Radxa board
<jemk> arokux2: i'll clean it up and push it, but needs some time, the experimenting made code horrible
<oliv3r> arokux2: no promise there :p but a lil busy atm
<arokux2> oliv3r: well.. you said it, not me :(
<arokux2> jemk: I can imagine!
<arokux2> jemk: but please do it asap, fiddling with uSD makes me crazy. :)

<jemk> but, is disabling dcache a good idea? if not i have to figure out what needs to be flushed
<arokux2> jemk: what is dcache anyway? you cash something already compiled?
<arokux2> montjoie[home]: what is the state of the cyphering stuff?
<jemk> arokux2: data cache of cpu, so gmac didn't see new dma descriptor because it did not get written to ram but only to cache

<arokux2> jemk: ugh, you are smart.
<jemk> arokux2: had the same problem with cedar, but needed some time till i got this idea again
<arokux2> jemk: i see, it is very cool you get it sorted.
<arokux2> jemk: do you think torbenh3 can profit somehow from your findings?
<jemk> arokux2: i don't think so, cache should be handled correct in linux and the extra bits needed i got from the sunxi-3.4 driver
<arokux2> jemk: I see. another thing: but how did sun6i_gmac work in u-boot? hm.. but we actually do not know if it worked.
<arokux2> montjoie[home]: Montjoie: see Test outcome, Mele A1000 (sun4i) - same shit.
<jemk> arokux2: at least the bits are correct there too, and maybe they also disabled cache, would be worth a look
<arokux2> jemk: here is a link handy for you: http://git.hands.com/?p=u-boot.git;a=tree;h=refs/heads/allwinner-sunxi-a31;hb=refs/heads/allwinner-sunxi-a31
<arokux2> montjoie[home]: Montjoie: sun4i_defconfig doen't have CONFIG_CRYPTO_USER_API_SKCIPHER should it?
<tomee^> arokux2: ...unless you have a quick howto for testing a bt chip somewhere
<tomee^> arokux2: bluez-utils always frightened me and never did what I wanted ;]
<arokux2> tomee^: no, sorry. ok.. let it be, not that important.
<tomee^> but I guess that if wifi works then bt will as well
<tomee^> bt is more or less a crippled subset of 802.11b
<tomee^> bt2 is another story though
<arokux2> tomee^: jemk just added GMAC support to U-Boot ;)
<arokux2> tomee^: not yet public, but will be very soon.

<tomee^> what does that mean?
<tomee^> that the bootloader can initialize the correct PHY pins?
<tomee^> or that I can now do PXE/network boot? :-)
<arokux2> tomee^: the bootloader can load kernel over network
<oliv3r> jemk: did you use designware driver?
<arokux2> oliv3r: yes
<oliv3r> awesoem
<oliv3r> very very cool jemk
<jemk> oliv3r: yes, with one bit changed and dcache disabled
<arokux2> oliv3r: plz, submit patches, otherwise you'll never do it :(((
<tomee^> arokux2: neat ;-)
<arokux2> jemk: have you looked at aw's u-boot, did they disable cache?
<oliv3r> jemk: well we do need dcache on; why did you didsable it?
<jemk> arokux2: i'm not sure, they enable it only #ifdef CONFIG_SPL
<arokux2> oliv3r: why we need dcache in u-boot?
<oliv3r> the kernel assumes its on
<jemk> oliv3r: do we really need dcache in u-boot. if yes we need a way for dma coherent memory which i havent seen in u-boot

<oliv3r> mripard: oh! that's good then
<oliv3r> mripard: and hi!
<oliv3r> jemk: i wonder why you had to disable dcache though
<mripard> hi :)
<jemk> oliv3r: because gmac needs dma
<arokux2> hm.. why was it then enabled by default in u-boot
<arokux2> if the kernel doesn't want it to be enabled...
<hno> mnemoc, oh, there is highmem in 2GB boards..
pirea has quit [Quit: Leaving]
<arokux2> hno: what?
<oliv3r> jemk: ahh, how does stm handle it? do they enable dma?
<oliv3r> arokux2: hno is backreading
<arokux2> oliv3r: I thought he is saying you have missed something.
<hno> yes.
<hno> backreading.
<hno> but it's fairly important. highmem stresses kernel quite a bit more.
<oliv3r> mripard: also your a sneaky lurker, but good that you do :)
<hno> jemk, there is cache operations for dealing with DMA.
<jemk> oliv3r: good question
notmart has quit [Quit: notmart terminated!]
<hno> you need to flush affected cache ranges on DMA operations.
<mripard> oliv3r: I don't like to speak when I have nothing to say :)
<oliv3r> mripard: i speak too much; when I shouldn't say :p

<jemk> hno: ok, i only searched for dma coherent alloc and such things, but flush might do.
<oliv3r> jemk: can't spy on stm driver more? :)
<oliv3r> they should be in the same situation
<jemk> oliv3r: i use the stm driver, the cache things are done by cpu/board functions
<jemk> oliv3r: but a grep for dcache_enable in spear related directories gave nothing, so i guess they don't enable it
<arokux2> jemk: git grep dcache_enable | grep spear
<arokux2> board/spear/common/spr_misc.c:dcache_enable();
<oliv3r> ah ok
<oliv3r> jemk: can i see your patch?
<oliv3r> mripard: are you going ot be @ fosdem2014?
<mripard> I'm seriously considering it
<jemk> arokux2: oups
<oliv3r> mripard: Data cache must be off. does that mean dcache will have to be turned off after u-boot is done to load the kernel?
<oliv3r> mripard: linux-sunxi
<oliv3r> mripard: @fosdem :D
<mripard> but I think I already have a training planned around that time, so I don't know if there's a collision or not
<oliv3r> weekend training?
<mripard> if not turned off, at least flushed
<mripard> no, but the training starts first time, on monday morning, so it might take some time to fly there
<mripard> this is what I have to check :)

* andoma missing fosdem this year :\
<andoma> or .. next year or whatever
<jemk> so, am i allowed to disable cache or do i have to rework designware driver and find all places to add flush
<arokux2> jemk: push with cache disabled, then there will be comments
<oliv3r> jemk: depends on what stm wants, as both boards will have to work with the one driver
fredy has quit [Excess Flood]
<arokux2> mm.. so maybe it is a good idea to leave designware untouched first?
<jemk> oliv3r: there is no flush, so they don't NEED it, and i think the only way to not need flush is to disable cache
fredy has joined #linux-sunxi
<oliv3r> jemk: why do we enable it

<libv> hrm. that's quick: http://opentablets.org/ "The time has come for OpenTablets.org to shutdown.."
<arokux2> oliv3r: you are from the phone, right? :p
<arokux2> libv: what was there?
<jemk> arokux2: hm
<arokux2> jemk: so the reason was: "No "WARNING: Caches not enabled" any more"
<arokux2> jemk: :D
<libv> arokux2: everything to do with the spark^W vivaldi kde community tablet
<libv> i have that hw, i used it to bring up mali400 support up a year or two ago
<libv> not knowing then that this was going to be the vivaldi tablet, i just needed something cheap with mali400
<oliv3r> arokux2: my guess is; we don't even need it enabled; so don't
<libv> i was looking for some board pictures, as i am thinking about using my freshly written serial_noise "tool" to find serial on a device
<libv> guess i need to use some telechips hw
<libv> as one of the early lima targets is mostly disassembled as it is
<arokux2> libv: haven't you heard about another kde tablet?
<arokux2> libv: aren't you on the arm-netbook list?
<libv> arokux2: i have constantly _heard_ about it
<arokux2> :)
<arokux2> now it is for real.
<libv> and i know that lkcl is hard at work
<arokux2> libv: and you know Aaron Seigo is behind it?
<libv> but this makeplaylive thing does cast a pretty bad light on it all
<libv> yes.
<arokux2> libv: will you go to FOSDEM?
<Turl> yay fosdem :)
<libv> arokux2: nah
<libv> arokux2: FOSDEM is stupid
<Turl> libv: but there's gonna be a sunxi talk this year
<arokux2> Turl: GMAC works in u-boot thanks thanks to jemk
<oliv3r> libv: buspirate has that too i think
<Turl> arokux2: :D what was it?
<libv> arokux2: there's this great big bastard called libv who organizes a devroom there
<arokux2> Turl: http://sprunge.us/TLTJ came into way and additional bits needed to be set.
<libv> oliv3r: 120locs, built statically for android, 50 of which is actual code :)
rellla2 has quit [Quit: Nettalk6 - www.ntalk.de]
<libv> anyway, about this vivaldi story, it's great that we might finally get some hardware, but one would expect these two websites to still be there
<libv> one is alive, but clearly not active, the other is dead
<libv> that's not very confidence inspiring
<libv> that they would no longer get as much hype as they would've gotten two years earlier, that's clear.
<libv> but this is definitely not helping, and something that is or would've been easy to fix

hramrach has joined #linux-sunxi
<arokux2> jemk: still there? I have nice contact in #u-boot and asked about caches, why they are needed etc.
<arokux2> jemk: so the dcache is solely needed "to significantly speed up the boot process"
<jemk> arokux2: half here, preparing push
<arokux2> jemk: "in general, you need to sprinkle flush/invalidate_dcache_range() whereever you use DMA in your driver"
<oliv3r> well you HAVE to turn it off before loading the kernel, the kernel assumes its off; so the only speed up is u-boot loading itself
<arokux2> oliv3r: yes. exactly.
<jemk> arokux2: yes, but that needs aligned memory and the designware driver doesn't care about aligned memory, so much work
<oliv3r> so disable it :D
<oliv3r> revert the patch
<arokux2> patch cannot be reverted, it was overwritten.
<arokux2> i.e. part of the original patch was deleted.
<arokux2> i.e. reformatted.
