hi guys
<owamba>
how well is SDL supported by sunxi??
<el3>
Hi everyone. I got a pcduino, that now crashes after a ½-1 hour . Yesterday the problem was that I had no swap partition on. After fixing that, it got alot better. syslog is here http://pastebin.com/SRVc5JCq Could someone help debugging?
<el3>
the pcduino reboots, and then runs again for ½ hour or so
<sdschulze>
owamba: the graphics library?
<owamba>
yup
<owamba>
I need SDL and few other such as SDL-fonts
akaizen has joined #linux-sunxi

NiteHawk, Now I do the mkswap /dev/mmcklb0p4; swapon /dev/mmcblk0p4 automativćally on each reboot. The swap partition is 1G
<sdschulze>
AFAIK, SDL is pretty hardware-oblivious.
<owamba>
true, but since it has deep bonds with X/fbdev I would like to know how well it works. Since it supports different rending engines which are not so oblivious

hmmm... Documentation/driver-model/platform.txt mentions putting the probe function and associated stuff in the .init section to reduce footprint

yeah, but i meant for all the other drivers

surely DT-based hardware, especially the SoC, isn't hot pluggable :p

hm something went wrong on u-boot i do make Bananapro_defconfig , make CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabihf- , dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/mmcblk0 bs=1k count=1023 seek=1 and finaly dd if=u-boot-sunxi-with-spl.bin of=/dev/sdb bs=1024 seek=8
<a1d3s>
it boots but it searchs every time for sun7i-bananapi.dtb not bananapro.dtb
<a1d3s>
if i use make menuconfig it shows correctly bananapro.dtb
<wens>
check your bootscript?
<a1d3s>
version is u-boot-2015.4-rc1 0202 and patched
<wens>
i meant your boot.cmd/boot.scr if you have one
<a1d3s>
wens yea it was ;)
<a1d3s>
need more coffee
<a1d3s>
i copy&paste my build plan and there is pi and not pro
<wens>
i use the fdt image name variable in my script
<wens>
from base/platform.c: Note that this is incompatible with deferred probing.
<wens>
now i see it...
<mripard_>
yeah, it's doable, but it doesn't mean it was meant to be :)
<wens>
oh well
<wens>
cant think of an easy way to fix it
<mripard_>
fix what?
<wens>
deferred probing + __init stuff
<mripard_>
I don't see how you can
<mripard_>
it's fundamentally broken
<wens>
yeah, it's like the "when is the kernel done booting" problem
<wens>
in theory the kernel should be able to know when it has exhausted the list of builtin drivers
<mripard_>
yeah
<mripard_>
but again
<mripard_>
it doesn't mean that your probe is blocked by a module
<mripard_>
that might be loaded afterwards
<mripard_>
or might not
<mripard_>
so unless you rewrite the __init section related code, to create new sections for each drivers, and removing these init sections only if the probe was successful
<mripard_>
then you can't fix this
<wens>
:(

mripard_: btw, there's a sunxi Kconfig dependency patch, don't know if you've seen it or not

ah, I see what has been happening! If you start with a stock u-boot config (e.g. make Cubieboard2_defconfig), then the 'sunxi dram timings' defaults to 'Magic vendor timings' using magic numbers (see: board/sunxi/dram_sun5i_auto.c), those values would only work if you set the ODT_EN (termination enable).
khuey_ is now known as khuey|away
<T0mW>
without that, select any of the JEDEC under 'sunxi dram timings', then set your DRAM clock (according to list within: board/sunxi/dram_timings_sun4i.h), then, you get proper values and ODT_EN is irrelevant.

I am considering building a whole new kernel. Mainline this time and mainline u-boot. See if that goes better. But last time I tried to compile it, I got the error something like- This compiler is known to compile errors or something

el3: I'm building my stuff using Yocto
<el3>
T0mW: okey. Maybe I should try that
<T0mW>
el3: Yocto builds out an entire system. Takes time to understand how to use it, but there is a lot of good info on it. However, I've been using Yocoto (OpenEmbedded) for many years now.
<el3>
T0mW: LOL just watching the introduction vid on their page. The frankenstein OS is exactly what I got right now. This must be made for me :D
<el3>
T0mW: Thanks for advice. I guess I will be moving to yocto, looks nice
<T0mW>
el3: there is an irc channel for it, #yocto
<el3>
T0mW: Thank you
<T0mW>
el3: learning curve is a bit steep, but it beats the heck out of buildroot.
<T0mW>
el3: core-image-minimal should get you going, once you setup your MACHINE definition.
<el3>
T0mW: okey. I suppose I could follow some tutorials and youtubeat first. And get some guidance on their irc. I just need a headless system where I can load g_mass_storage
<T0mW>
jero: pretty much what I got from an A20 DIMM they sent me with a Ubuntu image on it.

jero: how did memtester work out?

T0mW: pretty good

i'm looking for a way to bump the (II) FBTURBO(0): hardware: (video memory: 4500kB)
<T0mW>
jero: heh, pretty good does not cut it, ;) , pass / fail?
<jero>
T0mW: it passed it all
<T0mW>
great

<leviathanch>
Turl: do you know Ben personally?
<leviathanch>
Turl: I'd love to invite some Allwinner folkfs to the next chaos communication congress in Hamburg in order to make a presentation about the newest community project (this sunxi foss tablet)
<leviathanch>
but since I only met Ben once at the entrance it's hard to make contact with him now
<leviathanch>
I'd have to go over my other friends at Allwinner
<leviathanch>
Turl: and he was like "what the fuck does this guy want here?" kind of reacting
<leviathanch>
before lixiang came and explained ^^'
<nove>
leviathanch: talk allwinner in joining this www.96boards.org
<leviathanch>
one is going
<leviathanch>
uhm... his name
<leviathanch>
uh
<leviathanch>
do not remember right now how I spell it right
<leviathanch>
huxiang something
<leviathanch>
anyway
<leviathanch>
he is going
<leviathanch>
asked me if I had come for the Linaro event as well
<leviathanch>
but my visa wouldn't allow me to go to Hong Kong an back
<leviathanch>
so I couldn't go there
<leviathanch>
but Allwinner is there already so to say
<nove>
leviathanch: are you saying that allwinner has plans to make an 96boards
<nove>
?
<leviathanch>
hmm
<leviathanch>
we are planning to make a fully open source tablet for the community
<leviathanch>
we will be done mids of next year
<leviathanch>
one step has already begun by using me as kind of a dolmetscher and sharing information
<leviathanch>
nove: yes
<leviathanch>
now that I've googled it
<leviathanch>
yes
<leviathanch>
actually... about the board part
<leviathanch>
you're just talking with the guy who has gotten the job to design the schematics for it
<leviathanch>
half of next year you can expect us to release a fully open source board and stream all the drivers for it into mainline
<leviathanch>
they are totally into it, they just only talk Chinese, thats why you never hear something from their side, that's all
<leviathanch>
as soon as you talk Chinese to them they are totally cooperative
<leviathanch>
and since the board only costs around 20$ since I build it from SEG parts, I can afford giving out some of them for free :-)
<leviathanch>
actually I estimate even only 15$
<nove>
leviathanch: where this "sunxi foss tablet" idea came from?

nove: I basically wanted to build an open source tablet
<leviathanch>
and then we decided to share all information with you guys
<leviathanch>
^^
<leviathanch>
actually it was their idea to do it with all the sunxi members
<leviathanch>
in turn they promised to open up as much as they could
<leviathanch>
only limiting factors are language barrier (which can be overcome) and licensing with third party contractors
<leviathanch>
and since I'm now a part of the Allwinner crew in some way... let's say: *we* decided to do a sunxi foss tablet
<leviathanch>
I will send all the relevant maintainers a version of the first board as soon as I've got them ready in Shenzhen

leviathanch: do you know the vivaldi tablet history? that failed but it look that maybe will be tried again, and the firefox os tablet, and jolla, and ubuntu
<nove>
leviathanch: what about if all work together?
<leviathanch>
nove: I don't only know it, I was involved
<leviathanch>
nove: Aaron was at my place multiple times
<leviathanch>
nove: and I was at his home
<leviathanch>
nove: we hang up together multiple times
<leviathanch>
nove: and I layouted the improv board
gianMOD has joined #linux-sunxi
<leviathanch>
nove: and there are special reasons why it failed and I told him that I would fail because of this mistakes he did and he wouldn't listen
<leviathanch>
nove: and btw, I will use plasma active as desktop environment for the tablet
<leviathanch>
nove: he and I discussed this to a beer and some vegan lasagne some time ago and he told me I'd be ok
<leviathanch>
nove: he's into the sales share
<leviathanch>
I came into the Allwinner office and I guess everyone had a Stephe Jobs impression of me
<leviathanch>
because I had multiple mind blowing ideas for them ready
<leviathanch>
and they wanted me to stay and work for them right ahead, but I still don't have a work permit for China yet
<nove>
leviathanch: the problem with yet another tablet is the software, if will have only android it will not be any difference from what allready exists
<leviathanch>
nove: nope, planned is mer-project, with plasma-active as interface

power vr driver will first be provided by binary rpm
<leviathanch>
later on we will upgrade onto the foss power vr driver for rogue
gianMOD has joined #linux-sunxi
<leviathanch>
the engineer responsible for the driver at Allwinner just didn't understand the online new saying that the micro code had been published for Rogue already
<ssvb>
leviathanch: "the foss power vr driver for rogue", was there something lost in translation?
<leviathanch>
so now 上一站: we send all the Allwinner drivers whichs taking all our time forwardporting into mainline, 上二站: we go over providing a driver for the gpu within A64
<leviathanch>
no
<leviathanch>
ssvb: that's actually which they figured would be a cool idea
<leviathanch>
to write a foss driver for the powervr rogue platform within A64
<leviathanch>
but first we have to pass stage one
<leviathanch>
sending all the drivers mainline so that we have time writing other code
<ssvb>
leviathanch: is the imgtec aware of these plans?
<leviathanch>
imagine has published the micro code
<leviathanch>
so they will not care if we implement a driver based on it
<leviathanch>
also imagine has a building around the corner of the Zhuhai office
<leviathanch>
so we could go over and ask xD
<leviathanch>
but I don't think they will have a problem if we do work for them
<leviathanch>
many companies in China have realized: sending code mainline safes time maintaining
<leviathanch>
the only issue is the time to send it mainline in the first place
<leviathanch>
many companies don't have that manpower
<leviathanch>
I imagine img doesn't either
<leviathanch>
btw, I've just sent out the first release of the presentation about a new product line of Allwinner
<leviathanch>
let's hope my Chinese isn't that bad that it scares the management off

Chinese is soo different to English
<leviathanch>
believe me... I now know since I learned the basics
<leviathanch>
it's like using google translate to translate prosa into C-code
<el3>
leviathanch: hehe I know, I tried on thai. Makes no sense what comes out the other end, and if you translatee it back, it makes even less sence
<leviathanch>

T0mW: or anyone who kows this. Can I use a build, that I made with yocto for comercial purpose for free?

nove: Chinese people are such social and friendly people, together is nearly always a good idea for them, 这是我爱他们的什么
<leviathanch>
that's what I love about them ^^

Hi guys, I'm trying to build the mainline scripts ('make scripts') and it gets an error: "scripts/sortextable.c:31:32: fatal error: tools/be_byteshift.h does not exist". The weird thing is that that header exists. Could anybody share a light there? thanks in advance

I'm trying to get hans' mainline patches for A80 to work right now for the cubie4

together with the Allwinner folks that should be possible

but till I can design the PCB for the A64 it's still some time
<Turl>
leviathanch: I've never met benn in person, but we've chatted on irc

meeting these people already was worth the journey :D

ssvb, I'm using your sunxi-bootsetup-prototype. I have written the sdcard and done the uboot installation, but after the reboot it stays in "Starting kernel ..."
<uniqdom>
I'm using the UART port
<ssvb>
uniqdom: oh, this explains it, I think the debian installer uses only one console
<uniqdom>
ok... i have a HDMI tv here... but no usb keyboard :(
<uniqdom>
does your .img have a ssh daemon running?
<ssvb>
you can mount the first partition of the sd card and, edit boot.cmd to change the /dev/tty1 to /dev/ttyS0 and re-generate boot.scr
<ssvb>
after this the debian installer will use serial console instead of HDMI console
<uniqdom>
Now I see the debian-installer in HDMI... I will try that tty change
orly_owl has quit [Quit: leaving]
<ssvb>
in fact it probably makes sense to change this image to use the serial console for debian installer
<uniqdom>
:)
<ssvb>
because the current debian itself is non-workable with hdmi and the serial console is the only proper way to use it (until the ssh daemon is set up)
