<akaizen>
does the sunxi kernel support android?
<Turl>
you'll probably also need to patch the kernel and add support for the new vsync stuff for android
<Turl>
akaizen: yeah it does, but it's outdated.
<Turl>
(well it should, I don't know of many people actually using it that way though)

HDMI flickers everyonce in a while, bootup is sometimes an issue

sometimes = 70% of the time

I'm hoping those are software but I have a feeling they are not
<Turl>
akaizen: what's your definition of flicker?
<akaizen>
wondering if I should just switch to rockchip T_T
<Turl>
like, lose signal on the monitor?
<akaizen>
like display out goes off and then on
<akaizen>
monitor stays on the entire time just black screen
<Turl>
akaizen: does the OSD show, like when you lose signal?
<Turl>
or just black and then back to normal?
<akaizen>
black adn then back to normal
<Turl>
odd
<akaizen>
might be a power thing
<Turl>
may be a software issue then
<Turl>
if it were hardware I'd expect it to lose sync (and you'd see the OSD)
<akaizen>
OSD on the display/tv
<akaizen>
right? not the android osd
<akaizen>
i also dont know how to flash my device / get it into fel mode

ArdaXi, Wizzup: the xbmc port uses the blob and it's own CedarX implementation which renders directly to framebuffer. But as you saw yourself in the attention note. It's not ready for use, though it basically works. But it's not WIP, because nobody worked on it in the last year iirc.
<rellla>
VDPAU was chosen to get a simple and quick framework to demonstrate, that the REed code works. It wasn't intended for production use at the beginning. Correct me, jemk, if i'm wrong.
<rellla>
Though it has quite grown a bit and needs (much) more work, to get a fully useable backend.
<rellla>
I'd prefer to work on VDPAU further on, because it's supported by most players, so work has only be done once. Only con i can see is the dependence on X. But thats acceptable imo.
<ArdaXi>
I'm inclined to agree
<ArdaXi>
rellla: but then, what would be the simplest way to set up X thus that it would behave as if I'm using mplayer to the framebuffer
<ArdaXi>
I'd just want an empty X server, basically
<ArdaXi>
[vdpau] Got display refresh rate 60.000 Hz.
<ArdaXi>
[vdpau] If that value looks wrong give the -vo vdpau:fps=X suboption manually.
<ArdaXi>
[VDPAU SUNXI] Presentation time not supported
<ssvb>
so mplayer2 pretends to work propery, but you don't see any picture on screen?
<ArdaXi>
exactly
<ArdaXi>
I do see the cursor pop up quickly when mplayer launches
<ssvb>
have you tried running xterm?
<ArdaXi>
yes, shows up properly
<ssvb>
ok, maybe you also need a window manager for mplayer to function properly
<ArdaXi>
I can't imagine why
protoCall7 has quit [Quit: protoCall7]
<ssvb>
because mplayer or libvdpau-sunxi is not ready to handle this?
<ssvb>
what happens if you run mplayer with "-vo x11"?
<ArdaXi>
trying that now
<ArdaXi>
that works fine
<ArdaXi>
well, slowly, of ourse
<rellla>
ssvb: you don't need a window manager. i never installed one.
<rellla>
ArdaXi: some rights problem with /dev/cedar_dev
<rellla>
?
<ArdaXi>
I'm running mplayer as root, can't imagine
<memleak>
O_o
<memleak>
mplayer as root?

the risk of compromising the entire system is no different from the risk of compromising a user

ok so, since my last presence, I have managed to finally get the FT5x touch working. I'll document it soon. Thats the good news. The bad news is, it gets emulated as a mouse device (/dev/input/mouse0) and therefore I have to drag the pointer on my tablet like I'm using a track pad. Any suggestions?

<ArdaXi>
ssvb: any idea how I can track down what's going wrong?

ArdaXi: can you provide a complete mplayer log for the start?

I would have put it only in the cover, but anyway :)

I just gave a board today to one of my colleagues that was willing to work on this too

does anyone know which part of the fex file relates to cedar video decoding?
<Wizzup>
ArdaXi: I think that is just a kernel thing
<Wizzup>
but I may be wrong
<ArdaXi>
like, the mali needs to be defined in the fex file
<ArdaXi>
then I should probably go ahead and enable that
<ArdaXi>
kernel-wise it should be fine, since /dev/cedar_dev is present

hi guys, I'm trying to create a bootable sd card for my cubietruck, (built U-boot already and generated script.bin cubietruck files) and I'm following the tutorial there on how to boot from sdcard : http://linux-sunxi.org/Bootable_SD_card#Bootloader but for some reason I can't understant the partitioning part (I understand its trying to create 2 partitions 1 vfat and 1 ext4, but I don't understand the commands right above that), could someone please
<Faisal>
explain ?
<Wizzup>
ArdaXi: then cpu usage should be < 10% :)
<ArdaXi>
how do I check CPU usage again?
<ArdaXi>
ah, 18%
<ArdaXi>
hrm, it worked before
<ArdaXi>
and now suddenly it doesn't
<ferro>
@Faisal: the two lines between "cat" and "EOT" create two partitions. Do "man sfdisk" to decode...
<Faisal>
ferro: thx
<Faisal>
ferro: thx, makes perfect sense !!
<ijc>
Tartarus: im.x seems to have a proliferation of boards.cfg entries too. They also have IMX_CONFIG=/path/to/foo.cfg there instead of individual options making those lines really long, I quite like that. It's not a problem yet with the amount I've proposed for upstream so maybe that can wait
<Tartarus>
Yeah, N boards.cfg enteries is just how it's going to be until we have Kconfig
<Tartarus>
Once we have Kconfig I suppose we can then do some further games to say it's part of... whatever
<ferro>
@Faisal: it's not that clear at first glance, but... it's handy for creating partitions in a script

<ijc>
oliv3r: That sounds like a fun bootstrapping problem ;-) It seems like Tartarus is ok with the current approach though, but if/when a better way comes along great !

imho the natural way is adding a header to the spl with needed parameters.
<mrnuke>
wait, BROM will iitialize the HW in that case?
<mrnuke>
like RAM ?

no, but it will load those parameters as part of the loaded image, and provides clear separation between code & data & versioning.

the sunxi boot image format do specify header size & version field identifying its format,
