<suprothunderbolt> montjoie: thanks for the link this looks handy!
<montjoie> suprothunderbolt: a64 seems ok in 5.3 https://kernelci.org/boot/sun50i-a64-pine64-plus/

2019-09-03

<montjoie> sorry
<montjoie> adds some flower petal for more glamour ?

2019-08-31

<ullbeking> KotCzarny: montjoie: now that I think about it, I wonder why everybody is going crazy for atomic pi in the first place. There is a whole new world of possibility emerging, so why not try something different for a change?

2019-08-30

<montjoie> since intel does not give datasheet, I see no interest
<ullbeking> montjoie: atomic pi is an Intel Atom x5-Z8350 quad core "SBC". but it is not xunlong-sunxi or allwinner
<montjoie> ullbeking: for what interest ?, it is x86...

2019-08-28

<montjoie> ok thanks
<montjoie> does there are difference between the version you send and the final ?
<montjoie> hello tllim, could you confirm that modelA will never go in production, I need this information for updating pineh64 DT

2019-08-26

<montjoie> CC to lkml, yes it is solved
<montjoie> wens: since all message SHOULD be

2019-08-25

<jernej> montjoie: Thanks! so this was already discussed
<montjoie> jernej: 21/03/2018 https://pastebin.com/MEuLkTFu
<montjoie> jernej: already asked, but I need to grep logs to see why it didnt happen

2019-08-24

<Alexis3D> montjoie: first you apply it to the kernel, then you compile it with the CONFIG_PM_TEST_SUSPEND option, and boot the kernel with test_suspend=freeze. The board should freeze for a few seconds and then resume booting normally
<montjoie> if you have a suite of command to do, I can integrate them in my kernelci test suite
<montjoie> Alexis3D: how to test your patch ?

2019-08-20

<megi> montjoie: Is it fine to move stmmac-sun8i glue from devm_regulator_get_optional to devm_regulator_get and rely on dummies? I guess there's no downside and it will simplify the code a bit.

2019-08-17

<montjoie> you should see some i2c dev config
<montjoie> Maxit: zgrep I2C /proc/config.gz
<montjoie> Maxit: did you try modprobe i2c-dev ?

2019-08-16

<wens> montjoie: I think MoeIcenowy needs to chime in as I can't find the relevant context on the development of the original h64 emac patch series
<montjoie> could you ack my point of view ? I will send a subsequent patch for changing "model =" in the dts by appending modelB
<montjoie> wens: this is what I think
<wens> montjoie: since the ethernet parts are incompatible, and are already merged
<wens> montjoie: I think we've already crossed the line for having the already merged dts as the modelB one
<montjoie> wens: MoeIcenowy: could you give me your opinion on the pine64 dts modelA vs modelB thread ?

2019-08-14

<montjoie> noscript os not enough, umatrix to the rescue!

2019-08-08

<willmore> montjoie, once you have mastered masking the NMI, you have truely become the lockup master.

2019-08-07

<montjoie> so no NMI super heros ?
<montjoie> for using properly my card
<montjoie> wens: yes that why I push a new dt
<wens> montjoie: IIRC pine64 announced ahead of fosdem this year when introducing the model B, that model A will not be produced
<montjoie> wens: so no more modelA will exists ?
<wens> montjoie: the wiki is out-dated
<montjoie> https://github.com/montjoie/bbci always open source
<montjoie> fALSO: instead of buildbot/jenkins let me spam my CI tool: bbci
<montjoie> and the wiki said that modelA will have a final (tobesold) version
<montjoie> according to the wiki the model A has two version
<MoeIcenowy> montjoie: I think just model A
<montjoie> wens: MoeIcenowy: I will send a DT patch for the pineh64 evaluation board. doest sun50i-h6-pine-h64-modelA-eval is a good name ?

2019-08-06

<megi> montjoie: thanks for the suggestion
<montjoie> megi: specify the yaml you want to check for faster check

2019-08-05

<montjoie> and I will add a <blink>NEEED</blink> on H6/A80 ethernet
<libv> montjoie: to _that_ uboot page?
<montjoie> adding feature matrix in uboot page is still on my TODO

2019-07-30

<montjoie> vagrantc: I succed to update, but no USB at all. Probably some code is needed but I am noob in USB+uboot
<vagrantc> montjoie: i have a cubieboard4, but won't be able to test anything for a couple weeks
<montjoie> ppff two sdcard in the same adaptator...
<montjoie> I seek someone with a cubie4, I fail to update uboot on it
<montjoie> I saw some USB configs in the defconfig
<montjoie> wens: do you know what is missing from making usb availlable to uboot on cubie4 ?
<montjoie> oups forgot to append sun8i-ss patchs, will do
<montjoie> I released the last sun8i-ce https://github.com/montjoie/linux/tree/sun8i-ce-next-20190729 if someone want to try it

2019-07-29

<montjoie> wens: MoeIcenowy: since the new pineh64 is a bit different from the eval we have, does send a new "DT" like sun50i-h6-pineh64-eval could be a helpfull ? I want to add mine in kernelci, and without that I cannot use it (due to the change in the PHY regulator)
<montjoie> good luck for mdio

2019-07-28

<willmore> montjoie, and his handy sidekick a.out
<montjoie> yes some uboot tool still need python2
<montjoie> binman the compiled superhero!

2019-07-27

<montjoie> i have already code for it
<montjoie> wens: yes not a problem
<wens> montjoie: hmm, crypto's rng is prng though. for trng, you would use hwrng API instead?
<montjoie> wens: yes
<wens> montjoie: you haven't implemented TRNG because of missing rc-oscilator stuff, right?
<montjoie> the last quest of valid yaml was hard
<montjoie> if nobody do serious comment on amlogic crypto driver, I will send sun8i-ce on monday. finally!!
<montjoie> you asked if this PHY driver was in mainline, it is not at all
<MoeIcenowy> montjoie: what do you mean?
<montjoie> nothing more
<montjoie> MoeIcenowy: that was just a copy of generic.phy with an ID change
<MoeIcenowy> montjoie: thanks. in torvalds/linux master?
<montjoie> jernej: I confirm for internal AC200 PHY on H3, in the old sun8i-emac days, I has written a PHY driver just for displaying the PHY name

2019-07-26

<jernej> montjoie: MoeIcenowy: Is internal ethernet PHY, on let's say H3 or A64, handled by generic PHY driver?
<montjoie> MoeIcenowy: alliwinder problem fixed!

2019-07-25

<montjoie> ans it use the sun8i-ce instead of sun4i-ss
<montjoie> and since this is a good day, I think to have found THE bug in my sun8i-ss driver
<montjoie> a typo that I have already asked to remove
<MoeIcenowy> montjoie: BTW what the hell is "alliwinnder"
<montjoie> ah ah first R40 device in kernelci!

2019-07-24

<montjoie> I found one in armbian/firmware but it dont works
<montjoie> hello I try to made the brcmfmac from bpim3 up , but it asks for a brcmfmac43430a0-sdio.txt
<montjoie> riptide_wave: could you try linux next ?
<montjoie> but I remember to have see something about this issue
<montjoie> the nanopineo2 spec show 10/100/1000

2019-07-22

<fALSO> montjoie,
<willmore> montjoie, that's engineering. :0
<montjoie> first lesson, be more precise in what you want!
<willmore> montjoie, scratch
<fALSO> montjoie, :-PPPPPPPPPPPPPPp
<montjoie> my son(6y) asked for a computer, what can I give him ? the sparc, the sgi, or a 286 ?
<wens> montjoie: you'll run into a bunch of lawyers
<montjoie> lets try to contact sun to release the datasheet a ha hah
<montjoie> I have two cards like that...
<montjoie> argh
<fALSO> montjoie, nah
<montjoie> fALSO: on linux ?
<montjoie> but no datasheet
<montjoie> I dreamed to do the driver for it...
<montjoie> fALSO: I own it also:)
<montjoie> my second secret goal is to add my sparcs...
<willmore> montjoie, if you need a tester...
<montjoie> willmore: my secret goal is to add some SGI to kernelci...
<montjoie> indigo2 R10k!
<montjoie> because it didnt detect breakage of stmmac
<montjoie> fun fact: that was the original reason of my interest in kernelci
<montjoie> MoeIcenowy: in fact any network problem could be found only if it kernel panic, or delay the boot enough to a timeout
<montjoie> I just need to do a PR
<montjoie> but I have a test suite ready for it
<montjoie> kernelci build and expect a shell after boot
<montjoie> MoeIcenowy: EDONTCARE
<MoeIcenowy> montjoie: what will happen on kernelci if network driver totally fails?
<montjoie> so that's a good time to send my net tests to kernelci
<montjoie> I hate using usb net dongles
<montjoie> megi: thanks for doing it, I need it for adding all H6 boards to kernelci
<megi> montjoie: I don't work directly on sun8i_emac but I work on AXP805 for u-boot, that is needed to enable the phy
<montjoie> last time (3 or 2 years) I try to crosscompile python it was impossible
<montjoie> sometime no choice, python I see you
<fALSO> montjoie, hehe
<montjoie> for uboot
<montjoie> does someone work on sun8i_emac for H6 ? I will love him/her!
<ElBarto> montjoie: ok
<montjoie> ElBarto: didnt tried , but will do
<ElBarto> montjoie: can you talk to the board when booted in fel mode ?
<montjoie> ElBarto: no, I got nothing in the serial
<ElBarto> montjoie: did you managed to revive your H5 board ?

2019-07-20

<montjoie> but the board play the dead for now...
<ElBarto> montjoie: if it's using external phy that could be yes
<montjoie> ElBarto: thanks this is what I certainly miss for my nanopineoplus2

2019-07-18

<montjoie> yeah I think that, but since network dont work, something is bad
<montjoie> unrelated, on my nanopineoplus2, how to know if MACPWR="PD6" is the right choice ? the DT have gpio = <&pio 3 6 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>;
<montjoie> I will send a patch if you want
<wens> montjoie: sure, but that's not helpful to the user in any way
<montjoie> jernej: wens: if the value is not the default, it is sign of a bootloader which forgot to disable things
<jernej> but there must be a reason why montjoie introduced that

2019-07-17

<montjoie> how can I debug my problem ?
<montjoie> the config have MACPWR="PD6"
<montjoie> hello I have a nanopineoplus2 and the network dont work in uboot, certainly due to power not enabled
<montjoie> fALSO: it boots only kci builds
<montjoie> kernelci is public
<fALSO> montjoie, is that site privatE?
<montjoie> ah ah, first h6 kernelci boot https://kernelci.org/boot/all/lab/lab-clabbe/

2019-07-16

<montjoie> no real swap partition exported
<montjoie> but in my memory you need to create a big file on the NFS ans swapin
<solderfumes> montjoie: I'll be damned, CONFIG_NFS_SWAP
<montjoie> but you could swap over NFS
<montjoie> solderfumes: you need an option in the kernel to use it
<montjoie> diego71: even just the bpim3 (8core+gigabit) (along my desktop) made my kernel build faster
<diego71> montjoie: maybe with a gigabit and a fast server, it will not be too awful...
<montjoie> SUCH SPEED
<montjoie> swap over nfs
<montjoie> all my boards have gentoo, so same gcc
<montjoie> but last time I tried distcc with enough boards, it was fast
<montjoie> for compile stuff I steal the 48 cores of my work, waiting for build is so 2018
<KotCzarny> lapapat: that might be a question for montjoie
<montjoie> it will be the first h6 in kernelci
<montjoie> fALSO: I will give some love soon

2019-07-09

<jernej> montjoie: MoeIcenowy: In this line, "ret" should be used instead of "1", right?

2019-07-03

<montjoie> but why it did it only with the pdu
<montjoie> probably the uart was leaking lot of power and so "unpowering the board"
<montjoie> exactly
<martinayotte> montjoie: what do you mean by PDU ? Mine is powered thru normal barrel, and I'm using serial CH340.
<montjoie> but this occured only with my PDU, not a normal PSU
<montjoie> martinayotte: I got a pineh64 reboot looping with a ftdi, but stopped after a change of the ftdi so probably it was faulting
<martinayotte> montjoie: TX=pin1 / RX=pin3 / GND=pin5. What behaviour you got ?
<montjoie> could someone share how to connect serial on pineh64 ? I have a strange behaviour with it

2019-07-01

<wens> montjoie: that's messed up
<montjoie> Now time to start brute forcing all register space for a little chance to find the right combinaison to have more than 10Mb/half
<montjoie> chinese factory russian doll combo
<montjoie> wow finally I found that the dongle I put on H6 is a counterfeiting of another clone/counterfeiting

2019-06-26

<montjoie> its uboot that give me this rate, I dont know if its bit or byte, but in either case I die
<maz> montjoie: at that rate, you're better off implementing PPP and using a serial link.
<montjoie> downloading kernel+rootfs is so .... unsigned long long
<montjoie> lets bring this cheap network USB dongle for adding opi1+ to kernelci, after having spent some time doing its uboot driver, now I found its name! the amazing speeder dongle 24Kib/s!
<montjoie> yesterday also

2019-06-25

<willmore> montjoie, not even the processor extensions.
<montjoie> definitive reason why rpi4 is bad, no crypto accelerator. Now I can ran away...
<montjoie> without the sdcard the "default" uboot from somewhere start
<montjoie> hello I see on wiki that opi3 can use opi1+ uboot, but I get no output with it

2019-06-24

<montjoie> for a real rpi, the gpu will be connected over usb:)
<montjoie> lvrp16: I didnt know if and why people use it
<montjoie> willmore: yes I didnt bench RSA, and for the moment I have removed it for focus on mainlining the base driver

2019-06-23

<willmore> But when you had one little ARM11 or ARM9 core, they were nice. Now that we have quad core 64bit processors with AES acceleration, there's not much point to it. There might be some use to the RSA acceleration, I don't remember if montjoie had any benchmarks for that.
<willmore> Yeah, I think the answer to 'who uses the crypto block' is montjoie because they want to. There's not much use for it outside of that. It's a legacy block left over from when ARM11 cores were so darn weak. Now that AES acceleration instructions are in most cores, there's very little use for it.
<lvrp16> montjoie: do you know what application most people use the crypto block for?
<montjoie> if I can find the same 3x on crypto...

2019-06-22

<montjoie> oh ethernet is broken on my nanopineoplus2 uboot
<montjoie> I have a 1+ here I will try on it
<montjoie> but along with errors displayed
<montjoie> in my case dhcp worked also
<montjoie> I will retry on another board
<montjoie> codekipper: yesterdai I got some usb timeout and other strange errors
<codekipper> montjoie: Yeah..I used them to get netbooting working with a usb2eth adapter
<montjoie> does someone already tried the H6 USB uboot patchs ? (tried with any usb plugged in)

2019-06-20

<montjoie> hé hé I just saw H6 usb support for uboot, so uboot net boot is now possible

2019-06-18

<montjoie> hello I have an olinuxino A33, uboot detect the ASIX USB connected on the otg port, but not linux, does I need to do something

2019-06-17

<montjoie> ntp more than strongly recommanded, it is mandatory
<montjoie> shortyl I will ask for it
<montjoie> or a db "sed" update
<montjoie> wens: I have sent a fixes month ago, but we need a db cleaning of old report
<wens> montjoie: there is a sun8i-h3-libretech-all-h3-cc in baylibre lab that has the SoC listed as alliwinnder. Is that something you could fix?
<montjoie> anyway the bpim3 is now up and running and ready for kernelci
<montjoie> willmore: ATF seems to sue dtb for that
<montjoie> willmore: the DLDO3 used by uboot is in config not in dtb
<willmore> montjoie, And linux had already been partched? I wonder why uboot didn't pick that up as well.
<montjoie> in fact, it was the same problem than in linux
<montjoie> wens: willmore: I sent the patch fixing dldo3 in uboot
<wens> montjoie: thought it was fixed already
<willmore> montjoie, was it a missing regulator?

2019-06-16

<montjoie> <monolog>fixed ah ah ah
<montjoie> probably due to missing regulator in uboot
<montjoie> okay bpim3 uboot network work only in 100Mbit
<montjoie> anyone using uboot network(tftp) with a83t ?

2019-06-13

<lvrp16> montjoie: baylibre getting serious with kernel ci, taking over embedded linux dev with professional workflow XD
<montjoie> ah ha one more sunxi device in kernelci, welcome sun5i-a13-olinuxino-micro!

2019-06-11

<montjoie> for H6 is someone can add network to uboot, I will love it

2019-06-08

<montjoie> how uboot sun8i-emac seems not to compile anymore for a83t

2019-06-01

<montjoie> and I have not enough time to restart on it
<montjoie> tomeu: sorry I started to work on h6 uboot ethernet but fail

2019-05-29

<jernej> montjoie: ^

2019-05-21

<montjoie> I give my last son separate part of computer, technically if he really want to see video, he can

2019-05-20

<wens> montjoie: only possible for someone who knows the language and is alreay in China :p

2019-05-19

<montjoie> this title work the same for any lovecraft story
<montjoie> no one want to try to become an allwinner employee and know the unbelievable truth ?
<veremitz> montjoie: kindly hopped over to OFTC when I had to bale out :D
<veremitz> montjoie: thanks - you fitted in nicely :D
<montjoie> veremitz: arg I forgot the autojoin on this channel. does someone answered ?
<veremitz> montjoie: from #kernelnewbies on OFTC: [Sun 5:22 am]<veeraputhiran> Hi all, I have an orange pi zero board which is based on allwinner H2+ SOC. I thought of learn about ethernet driver. I found the driver "dwmac-sun8i.c" inside "linux/drivers/net/ethernet/stmicro/stmmac/". Why is it not present in "linux/drivers/net/ethernet/allwinner/" directory ? Thanks

2019-05-13

<montjoie> will try on R40 soon

2019-05-05

<montjoie> extra bonus point: it will be harder for some keylogger to distinct what you do
<montjoie> yeah be creative and include some &&;[]
<montjoie> extra bonus you can put in on postit
<montjoie> the serie must be credible
<montjoie> mine is make && ls /home ; reboot
<montjoie> I can type it everywhere nobody know what it is
<montjoie> note that using a serie of command is the best password
<montjoie> note that using a serie of command is the best password

2019-04-30

<pgreco> montjoie, thanks
<montjoie> I have added fixes tag so it should
<montjoie> patchs are in cryptodev, I cannot do anything beyond that, stable will do the rest
<pgreco> montjoie, are you sending those to 5.1 too?
<montjoie> pgreco: thanks
<pgreco> montjoie, just confirmed that your 4 patches fix my boot problem
<pgreco> montjoie, 5.0.10 booted normally

2019-04-29

<montjoie> but it fix crash when CRYPTO_EXTRA_TESTS are set, so a normal user should not see thoses crashes
<montjoie> merged in next
<pgreco> montjoie, linux-next or 5.1rc?
<montjoie> dont know if related
<montjoie> pgreco: okay so sun4i-ss, i have sent 4 fix patchs merged 3 days ago
<montjoie> pgreco: which board ?
<montjoie> pgreco: ok
<pgreco> montjoie, I didn't leave the serial connected, I'll send you the crash tomorrow if that's ok
<pgreco> montjoie, let me see if I can reboot the device an crash it (the device is at home and I'm at work)
<montjoie> pgreco: could you paste crash ?
<pgreco> wens, 5.1rc6 crashes on boot (crypto), but that I'll have to ask montjoie

2019-04-23

<lvrp16> montjoie: and they can use your admin services
<lvrp16> montjoie: then i propose my hosting services
<lvrp16> montjoie: haha
<montjoie> I have already proposed my admin services

2019-04-21

<montjoie> yes share via the wiki!

2019-04-16

<montjoie> DCC to the rescue
<montjoie> DCC to the rescue

2019-04-15

<montjoie> okay I will send an email
<wens> montjoie: nope
<montjoie> wens: are you aware that the multi_v7_defconfig fail on pinctrl for next ?

2019-04-11

<montjoie> facebook ? didnt have any
<libv> montjoie: your facebook profile might see some extra activity soon ;p
<libv> montjoie: thanks very much
<montjoie> my first nickname was nahveirtidigunswaffe, but finally it is better as password

2019-04-10

<montjoie> disik: do not hesitate to say results of testing it
<montjoie> let me update github first with it
<montjoie> a serie of patch in that case
<montjoie> I have some github repo that I need to update
<montjoie> disik: you need sun8i-ce which is not on mainline yet
<disik> montjoie> it's H3
<montjoie> disik: which soc do you have ?
<willmore> Is montjoie's work in mainline?
<disik> anyway, where can I read montjoie's page about it?
<KotCzarny> or just read montjoie's page about it

2019-04-08

<tllim> @montjoie, I wil lbe happy to ship the PINE64 boards to kernelci, just PM me the shipping address, board model and quantity
<montjoie> one board in each rack, and enough hole for ethernet/poweR/serial/etc
<montjoie> KotCzarny: IDE rack could be used
<montjoie> or lego like my first try http://sunxi.montjoie.ovh/cluster.jpg
<wens> montjoie: I need extra space in case I need to use multiple laptops lol
<montjoie> wens: you stil have enough place for a PDU:)
<montjoie> wigyori: I dream their 96 manageable ports
<wigyori> montjoie: yep, that makes it a nice starter
<montjoie> and not so expansive, for another project we have found a "smart usb usb" for just 500€
<montjoie> wigyori: the interest of the U8C was "USB output", no need to create custom wire
<montjoie> so cheap relay, cheap serial is forbiden
<montjoie> first rules: reliability
<montjoie> wigyori: linaro have done some show on how to do a testfarm
<wigyori> montjoie: lol
<montjoie> no it is not my desktop
<montjoie> let me find the photo of example of bad cable mangement
