<libv>
hrm, no bloody miracle my123 his tablet didn't boot, he added all sorts of unnecessary stuff to uboot to begin with
<quitte>
libv: do you happen to know if uboot touches the axp209 configuration?
<libv>
quitte: not off the top of my head, but i expect it does
<libv>
you will have to look into that yourself
<quitte>
libv: i have some funny behaviour on the ct. I bought a 5V dc-dc covertor. with that as the power source it switches off right aftre spl
<quitte>
so there is a reason cubietech put 5.2V on the silkscreen
<quitte>
but isn't usb 5.0V nominally?
<libv>
quitte: how many A does this deliver?
<quitte>
plenty
<quitte>
12V 2.5A and the dc-dc convertor does 2A without and 3A with a heat sink
<libv>
quitte: what do you all have attached?
<quitte>
nothing
<libv>
i have no problems, but i do not currently run an lcd or a sata disk from it
<quitte>
if i run without an mmc card there is no u-boot
<quitte>
and it stays on
<libv>
quitte: with another psu it is just fine?
<quitte>
if i put the sd-card in it goes spl->off
<quitte>
with usb as a supply it is fine. and that is just over 5.1V
<libv>
quitte: too much variance on that 5V?
<libv>
or ripple
<quitte>
libv: i rather think that it is the diodes voltage drop that brings VCC-5V below 5V if DC-IN is spot on
<quitte>
i guess I could short that diode and see if i'm right
<nedko>
libv: thank you
<libv>
nedko: so what was it that threw you off in this whole story?
<libv>
nedko: what is missing from our wiki that could have prevented this messup?
<quitte>
what was the messup even? wrong script.bin?
<libv>
quitte: wrong u-boot i think
<nedko>
libv: that i have to build u-boot from latest sunxi branch with a command: make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=armv7a-olinuxino_a20-linux-gnueabi- A20-OLinuXino_Lime_config
<libv>
the arguments story was not related
<libv>
nedko: so you tried A20-OLinuXino_Lime ?
<libv>
and it didn't do anything for you?
<libv>
and you did not see the line ${TARGET}_config ?
<nedko>
libv: i think so, i tried lot of things before asking in the channel. and found a link from the olimex site that was pointing to that third party repo. the wiki page was about a10-lime but i saw that there was a recent commit that added a20-lime config
<nedko>
so i didnt even check the sunxi wiki, shame on me
<libv>
this _config thing is relatively recent
<libv>
the previous version of u-boot was happy with using the target directly
<nedko>
yes, this was somewhat confusing
<libv>
and the upcoming u-boot has thrown away boards.cfg completely
<nedko>
i've switched severa u-boot version in an attempt to make the kernel boot
<nedko>
*several
<libv>
anyway, there are a few things which are piling up for the device pages, at one point i will add _config everywhere
<libv>
nedko: you should've come and complained about your first error
<nedko>
libv: again, thank you
<libv>
nedko: and you should never go and ask random questions without telling us "oh, i am not running the normal setup"
<libv>
because that was the key to this whole story
<nedko>
well, i wanted to understand how uboot knows which are the bootargs when bootm is used
<libv>
everything before that point was a waste of time
<nedko>
libv: yes, you are right, but i somehow assumed that my setup is not normal, because the board is somewhat new
<libv>
01:46 < nedko> libv: because the uboot that works most on this board tries to boot from sata (i think so)
<nedko>
libv: yes, in that version of u-boot i saw something like this
<libv>
that was the sentence which gave me a hint about what was really going on
<libv>
but just a hint
<nedko>
libv: so in the end, u-boot's bootm command checks the bootargs variable?
<nedko>
in the latest sunxi branch version of uboot i mean
<libv>
i guess so
<quitte>
no
<libv>
i do not know about the mechanics of it
<libv>
i never needed to look into that
<quitte>
well it passes it to the kernel
<quitte>
but it does no interpretation
<libv>
true
<quitte>
nedko: did you build a new script.bin from the fex in the wiki while you were at it?
<nedko>
quitte: yes i did
<quitte>
ah
<quitte>
I can't think of a reason why u-boot itself would have made a difference
<nedko>
i was missing the fex file for lime
<quitte>
;)
<nedko>
but that version of uboot was working without it
<quitte>
"that version"?
eagles0513875 has joined #linux-sunxi
<libv>
... but the script.bin is for the kernel, not for ubot
<libv>
uboot
<quitte>
nedko: by fixing the environment I'm fairly certain that any u-boot that gives you mmc access could have worked

Its kinda rumor, but still. A single board pc developer that made A10,A20 boards told me Allwinner will not focus on A80 anymore because its price is too high. And they already focus on A83..
<wens>
wtf?
<skoperst>
I dont like it(as I have a A80 boards on my desk..)
<wens>
i just ordered mine yesterday
<skoperst>
It will be more for developers boards, and not devices. That what he ment. Thats not too bad but still if there will be only a couple of commercial devices it will be less maintained
<skoperst>
which ones? pcduino8?
<wens>
optimus
<mnemoc>
skoperst: do you know some of the specs of that a83?
<skoperst>
Its called kylin, theres a common and the optimus board device, for all the Android fanboys out here
<mnemoc>
skoperst: please ask about SATA as well
<MY123>
mnemoc: They did use a PowerVR series 6 with no drivers in the A80.
<mnemoc>
did they release linux drivers for A31?
<mnemoc>
iirc imagination charges per-OS licenses, so it's "understandable" they didn't pay for linux drivers
<skoperst>
MY123: why no drivers? PVR works in my A80 board

<wens>
oliv3r: still want the translation or ?

To tell the truth, I'm working with other SoC and I don't own any AW SoC. I'm here because I'm curious to see how it goes with AW support in Linux.
<MY123>
anthony_emtrion: Which SoC?
<anthony_emtrion>
Atmel SAMA5D3x, Freescale i.MX6, TI AM335x....
<oliv3r>
wens: ok i read the whole thread, so I now have a better idea as to white to write
<MY123>
anthony_emtrion: The AW support is much worse since Allwinner is part of Linaro. They now have lots of GPLv2 violations and hate the community
<anthony_emtrion>
MY123: Well I don't understand that at all. Why would you hate the community that help you get known ??
<anthony_emtrion>
If there was no community I would'nt even come here and see what happen.
<MY123>
anthony_emtrion: Allwinner now hates the community because they don't like to release 'confidential infos' and spend time.
<anthony_emtrion>
and without the website made by the community I would not understand the "state" of AW SoC in Linux and how to get info for there SoC.
<anthony_emtrion>
I wonder if the other Chinese SoC like Mediatek, Rockchip are doing the same with there community ?
<quitte>
playing devils advocate here: had I known the state of AW on linux I would probably not have bought one
<MY123>
anthony_emtrion: Let Allwinner suck ! linux-sunxi will now have to reverse-engineer all the A80 blood. All the Chinese SoC have the same problem

( You should try it)
<anthony_emtrion>
MY123: yeah etnaviv is still in developpement.
<quitte>
great. it's kind of funny. I considered A20 the better choice since the i.MX6 has its ethernet on too slow a bus for full GBit

which could share nothing with any of the other Q8 (i think) devices
<paulk-aldrin>
do I keep its dram file named as-is or move it to a generic name?
<libv>
paulk-aldrin: make it generic
<paulk-aldrin>
I'll let you remove the A13_MID target though
<libv>
as soon as there are two users, try to make it generic :)
<libv>
yeah, it won't be removed yet
<paulk-aldrin>
ok
<libv>
until i get ticked off :p
<libv>
ssvb: do you have any more good ideas like "why don't you do simplefb, it'll get us all a display fast" ;p
<paulk-aldrin>
I'm not totally confortable with having one target for different devices either, essentially because in Replicant, it'll build all the U-Boots at the same time and I don't like having 2 make running on the same output directory
<libv>
paulk-aldrin: i think it also messes up oliv3r, the sole user of the BSP
<libv>
paulk-aldrin: but yeah, i prefer having well documented devices, through an through
<libv>
(but that's a bit of a given to you now, i'm sure)
<paulk-aldrin>
haha :)
<paulk-aldrin>
I figured that much, indeed

paulk-aldrin: can you set [uart_para]->uart_debug_port = 1
<paulk-aldrin>
libv, I figured it's not actually used
<libv>
in the fex, and see if that fixes your ttys1 thingie?
<libv>
paulk-aldrin: you tell uboot to use a different CONS_INDEX
<paulk-aldrin>
well, I'll try, but nothing in the driver indicates that it will have the slightest effect
<libv>
ok, then we should go fix the driver :)
<paulk-aldrin>
libv, linux still maps it as ttyS1
<paulk-aldrin>
libv, well if you think about it, it makes sense
<paulk-aldrin>
ttyS0 doesn't *have to* be the serial port for messages
<libv>
PG03/04 is what i think i just enabled on the mobii 703
<paulk-aldrin>
as far as I can see, only uart_para is used
<libv>
ah, yes
<libv>
check out that fex :)
<libv>
pov_mobii_703.fex
<libv>
that's what you need to do :)
<libv>
[uart_para]
<libv>
and then CONS_INDEX=2 for uboot
wingrime has quit [Read error: Connection reset by peer]
<paulk-aldrin>
libv, also, why the hell is the index starting at 1 in u-boot?
<libv>
paulk-aldrin: dunno :)
<libv>
paulk-aldrin: it's uboot?
<libv>
or did one of us do that?
<paulk-aldrin>
seems to be the whole u-boot
<libv>
after my cfbconsole work, i am not surprised
<libv>
we should move to barebox.
<paulk-aldrin>
lol
<paulk-aldrin>
libv, I did try inverting the PG* stuff btw, it had no effect
lkcl has quit [Ping timeout: 260 seconds]
<paulk-aldrin>
libv, are you sure that had any effect at all on your board?
<libv>
compared the fexes
<libv>
this is how it is done on the 703
<paulk-aldrin>
(I don't have pov_mobii_703.fex btw)
<libv>
it's in sunxi-boards
<libv>
oh, pov_tab_p703.fex
<paulk-aldrin>
I just pulled
<paulk-aldrin>
ah
<paulk-aldrin>
pov_tab_p703.fex
<paulk-aldrin>
so uart_used are all off currently
<paulk-aldrin>
I bet that only turning them to 1 solved your issue
<libv>
oh, nope
<libv>
i didn't touch those
<libv>
it just works with that and the uboot change
<libv>
hah
<libv>
those things are indeed just dead weight
<paulk-aldrin>
libv, well, you probably can't spawn getty
<paulk-aldrin>
but dmesg will get through, yes
<libv>
aaah, true
* libv
fires up that machine again
<paulk-aldrin>
and you'll need to spawn it on ttyS1
<libv>
seems like we have very similar hw in this sense, so we can go try a few different things
<paulk-aldrin>
no way around that, except for rewriting the driver to actually care about the rest of the fex configs
<paulk-aldrin>
libv, looks like my other a13 behaves the same, too
<libv>
so even if you disable the first uart, it still doesn't get called ttyS0
<libv>
hrm :(
<paulk-aldrin>
right
<libv>
sounds like a driver fix would indeed be good
<paulk-aldrin>
I would still ignore the uart_tx/uart_rx
<libv>
but first, we need to add a lot of stuff to uart howto
<paulk-aldrin>
but taking uart_port in account would be nice

it's all good and well rubbing yourself in some corner somewhere, but if you want users, you must give them a bit more than just the code, and it does not take much in our case, as most information that is not related to the mtd subsystem is already on our wiki, and you're welcome.

<quitte_>
less confusing, too. complex environments are horrible
<paulk-aldrin>
libv, I was already going with CONS_INDEX=2 (no output at all without it), and uart_para1 had to have uart_used = 1 to be able to use getty
