| 07:19.01 | mnemoc | hno: I was thinking that while waiting for the release of the official 3.0.8 tree to get driver fixes we could migrate the core in the 3.3 tree to DT |
| 07:21.01 | mnemoc | hno: but in the mean time I will refactor the fex (de)compiler to support format options and to understand the logic behind the data so when we know how the dts output should look like it will be easy to generate |
| 07:55.19 | hno | mnemoc, sounds like a plan. |
| 07:56.11 | hno | related to this, do you have some view of which drivers need extensive porting? |
| 07:59.18 | mnemoc | hno: the uglier changes happened in the sound drivers |
| 07:59.45 | mnemoc | I did one, but I don't know if it works |
| 08:01.04 | mnemoc | in the wip/allwinner-v3.0-android/asoc branch |
| 08:01.40 | mnemoc | hno: this is the upstream change to audio https://github.com/amery/linux-allwinner/commit/f0fba2ad1b6b53d5360125c41953b7afcd6deff0 |
| 08:03.10 | mnemoc | the v4l drivers also need deep rework, but sightly less ugly that asoc ones |
| 08:03.58 | mnemoc | the hdmi driver needs the hdmiaudio driver so sun4i-hdmiaudio gains some priorioty over the rest |
| 08:05.56 | mnemoc | sun4i-i2s was sigthly simpler than sun4i-hdmiaudio so I ported that one first |

| 08:13.19 | mnemoc | the fb (disp) driver is another story... it misses several callbacks, but the driver itself is implemented as a glue layer with another "multiplatform" library that hides all the data.... I have some work in the wip/allwinner-v3.0-android/disp branch, and some uncommited stuff too (to be able to set info->pseudo_palette) but after that we need info->screen_base which for some reason is not been initialized |
| 08:15.09 | mnemoc | (ab)using igloo's mali driver we could postpone the improvals of the disp drivers |
| 08:24.56 | hno | the framebuffer is separate from MALI, right? |
| 08:31.56 | hno | mnemoc, how wold stealing the igloo mali driver help postpone disp improvements? |
| 08:32.31 | mnemoc | right, but X can live with mali |
| 08:33.31 | mnemoc | X over fb sort of work, but fbcon crashes the driver to death |
| 08:35.43 | mnemoc | I don't mean we don't need fbcon, but having X/mali gives us display and a usable desktop |
| 09:12.54 | hno | So Xorg mali driver needs less from the framebuffer than the plain Xorg fb driver? |
| 09:13.36 | hno | smells odd to me. |
| 09:28.37 | mnemoc | I haven't tested it, I'm only assuming so as they actually sell functional products having this highly incomplete fb driver |
| 09:29.46 | mnemoc | also, people runs X over fb but fbcon makes it panic.... so the what's required changes from usage to another |
| 09:32.02 | mnemoc | hno: if you wanna play, these http://dpaste.com/745969/ are the local changes I have in my wip/allwinner-v3.0-android/disp based tree |
| 09:34.53 | hno | mnemoc, Xorg should work fine over fb without fbcon. |

| 09:38.59 | mnemoc | hno: sure it doesn't use fbcon, fbcon can't be used at all... I was trying to fix it. but X over fb is also broken in our tree, people needed this ugly hack to make it not crash https://github.com/amery/linux-allwinner/commit/93d057fd8523714a85f5f69276c2ef9f3ee918de |
| 09:39.51 | mnemoc | because of some bug in the palette handling in the library used by the disp driver |
| 09:41.15 | mnemoc | but as it works on Tom's kernel I suppose they fixed that bug and it will be part of the 3.0.8 tree/snapshot once available |
| 09:43.09 | hno | mnemoc, ok. Still have no video output from my Mele at all. Not sure if it's broken or due to me not having an actual HDMI display. |
| 09:43.27 | hno | so a little disconnected from playing with video stuff. |
| 09:44.03 | mnemoc | hno: by default it's configured to use hdmi-only, but you can enable vga using an ioctl |
| 09:46.00 | hno | I know there is an ioctl, have not tried it yet. There is also claims that a remote button should work when running the Andoid stuff, but have not seen any effect from that. |
| 09:47.36 | zenitraM | hno: do you have serial output? |
| 09:47.55 | zenitraM | when booting on android, there is serial output from logcat |
| 09:48.08 | zenitraM | and log traces from the app that triggers the output selection will show |
| 09:48.45 | zenitraM | the remote button acts a bit odd, you have to press it quickly several times to switch |
| 09:52.59 | hno | zenitraM, yes I have serial. But the mele is all disconnected at the moment. |
| 09:53.17 | zenitraM | you can try with that |
| 09:54.15 | hno | if I find the remote.. probably somewhere on my desk :) |

| 21:14.34 | Premislaus | Is there any board with Cortex-A9 Dual Core with NEON, and the GPU that has an open source driver, 1 GB RAM and SATA? BTW Mele A2000 looks very good. Just a little amount of RAM... |
| 21:15.23 | Premislaus | Sorry for my English, I am a not of native speacher. |
| 21:16.27 | Faqtotum | i hope so |
| 21:16.48 | Premislaus | PandaBoard is right for me, but it does not have SATA. |
| 21:17.27 | Faqtotum | but lately, much attention has been on the Allwinner A10 chip, which does not meet your stated requirements |
| 21:18.25 | Premislaus | But in general is good. :) |
| 21:18.26 | mnemoc | what GPU for ARM has open source driver? |
| 21:18.43 | Faqtotum | it's in the A1000. i haven't looked at the A2000 myself |
| 21:18.45 | Premislaus | I would like to make a home computer. |

| 21:19.34 | Premislaus | etc |
| 21:19.45 | Faqtotum | mali is in the A10 |
| 21:19.58 | mnemoc | the lima project just started, don't expect it to be functional in less tha a year |
| 21:20.47 | Premislaus | I would like in the future on something like that to install Haiku OS. Connect to the TV, browse the web, watch movies and emulate old consoles and computers. |

| 21:21.24 | Faqtotum | last i checked, haiku was focused on nvidia GPUs |
| 21:21.29 | Premislaus | no |
| 21:21.34 | Premislaus | Radeon HD ;) |

| 21:34.22 | cromo | hi, is there any issue with serial console with 3.0.31? |
| 21:34.40 | cromo | I updated today, rebuilt, copied the kernel over, but stupid me I didn't do the backup |
| 21:34.58 | cromo | so it hangs exactly on the part that initializes ttyUSB0 |
| 21:36.41 | arokux_h | hi guys, what do I need to connect to internal USB port. how this kind of adapter is called? |
| 21:37.43 | arokux_h | sorry, forgot to mention, I'm talking about Mele A1000 |
| 21:54.53 | mnemoc | cromo: it's git, you can jump to whatever commit in the past |
| 21:55.42 | cromo | just doing that |
| 21:56.01 | arokux_h | ok, after some googling I've found smth like this: http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/312iSDtaUsL.jpg anybody uses something similar? |
| 21:56.14 | mnemoc | but your statement about ttyUSB0 doesn't make much sense... |
| 21:56.35 | cromo | nah, sure it doesn't |
| 21:56.37 | cromo | ttyS0 |

| 21:59.47 | mnemoc | cromo: nothing has been in that tree recently beside merging 3.0.31 and latest in android-3.0... and it was a very clean merge :< |
| 22:00.14 | cromo | well, it's weird, everything, I had some fsck issues, too |
| 22:00.43 | cromo | when trying to boot allwinner's kernel, serial fails at very begning of kernel load |
| 22:00.54 | cromo | but I can see it loads as it initializes wifi ap |
| 22:01.08 | cromo | (doesnt have iptables compiled in, so I can't associate) |
| 22:02.28 | cromo | damn |
| 22:02.44 | cromo | was thinking SD card could be managed |
| 22:03.02 | cromo | damaged |
| 22:03.11 | cromo | I'm tired, gotta go to sleep I think |
| 22:03.14 | arokux_h | mnemoc, have you played with internal USB port? |
| 22:03.55 | mnemoc | arokux_h: that's the OTG. I haven't tried to use it yet, but hno has |
| 22:05.09 | arokux_h | mnemoc, hm.. I'd like to use it to connect to mele with adb. |
| 22:05.42 | mnemoc | arokux_h: try with 2.6.36 first |
| 22:06.00 | arokux_h | mnemoc, what do you mean? |
| 22:06.20 | hno | I have connected to the internal OTG port in device mode. But have not tried adb. |
| 22:06.21 | mnemoc | kernel |
| 22:06.45 | mnemoc | i have my doubts about gadjet support in the 3.0 port |
| 22:07.31 | arokux_h | I do not want to try another kernel. I just need to connect to adb. |
| 22:07.42 | arokux_h | hno, which adapter have you used? |
| 22:08.56 | arokux_h | hno, something like this should be fine, how do you think? http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?VISuperSize&item=290702793811 |
| 22:10.03 | hno | arokux, I have tried two, one USB cable I found in an LCD gadget, and one from a Dell USB mouse. |
| 22:10.36 | hno | both needed their pins rearranged slightly to match the mele, but that's trivial. |
| 22:11.27 | cromo | mnemoc: could you pastebin your working .config? |
| 22:12.26 | arokux_h | hno, so you soldered/connected to pins by hand another side of the mouse cable? |
| 22:12.35 | hno | arokux, hard to say from that picture if the spacing on the header is right. |
| 22:13.26 | hno | no soldering, only rearranged the pins with the help of a needle to loosen the pin in the connector. |
| 22:13.55 | hno | the dell mouse cable had the exact right connector inside the mouse. |

| 22:14.11 | arokux_h | hno, cool mouse :) |
| 22:14.38 | hno | the lcd module had another thinner connector, but with the correct spacing so it fits, just do not stick too well in the mele. |
| 22:15.02 | arokux_h | hno, I thought the spacing should be standard |
| 22:15.48 | mnemoc | cromo: this is my diff to sun4i_defconfig... http://dpaste.com/746300/ |
| 22:16.08 | hno | it's smaller spacing than what you normally see in USB headers and similar. But it is a standard, one of many. |
| 22:16.46 | mnemoc | cromo: but you are better disabling framebuffer_console there |
| 22:16.48 | hno | the connector type is actually very common as internal connector within gadgets. |
| 22:17.01 | hno | but not something you normally see in a computer. |
| 22:17.07 | cromo | mnemoc: thanks, I will |
| 22:17.53 | arokux_h | hno, I see. last question please. why is this inner USB so special? can't I get the same functionality using external ones? |
| 22:18.05 | hno | 2.0mm spacing, same as used for the UART console port. Just one pin more in the USB connector. The exact purpose of the last two pins in the USB connector is unknown. |
| 22:19.11 | hno | The internal one is the OTG port of the A10. This is used for connecting to the A10 as a gadget. The other are USB host ports, for connecting the Mele to other USB gadgets (hard drives etc) |
| 22:20.00 | hno | The OTG port actually works both as device and host depending on usage. But the interesting usage is as device/gadget. |
| 22:20.25 | hno | you can' |
| 22:21.17 | arokux_h | hno, thank you! I'll try to connect to mele with adb, once I've connected to internal usb. |
| 22:21.24 | hno | or to put it simple, to connect your computer to the Mele via USB you need to use the internal OTG port. The external USB HOST ports are only good for connecting other devices (hdd:s etc) to the mele. |
| 22:24.04 | hno | arokux, if you have some USB gadgets such as a mice then there is a very good chance you have the right cable there. |
| 22:26.10 | hno | only needing pins to be moved around a bit, which is a trivial task. Order should be black, green, white, none, none |
| 22:26.50 | cromo | mnemoc: have some v2l errors after applying your patch |
| 22:26.56 | cromo | v4l |
| 22:27.01 | arokux_h | hno, ok, got it. thank you very much again. |
| 22:30.42 | mnemoc | cromo: sure you created your new .config from sun4i_defconfig? |
| 22:35.34 | mnemoc | cromo: I just cleaned a tree and built uImage modules with that applied and built fine |
| 22:36.40 | mnemoc | git ls -o | xargs rm -v; make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabi- sun4i_defconfig; make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabi- -j32 uImage modules |
| 22:42.31 | mnemoc | http://dpaste.com/746312/ this is after disabling fbcon |
| 22:42.54 | cromo | mnemoc: I did, but somehow git clean/reset did not remove all the leftovers, forced it with rm -rf and cloning once again |
| 22:43.00 | cromo | to late for playing with it |
| 22:43.47 | mnemoc | `git ls -o | xargs rm -v` removeds the ignored files too |
| 22:44.19 | mnemoc | you an also rm -rf *; git reset --hard |
| 22:44.31 | mnemoc | because the * doesn't delete .git |
| 22:45.38 | mnemoc | I'm not fond to cloning a 1.5G repo every time something goes wrong :p |
| 22:45.51 | mnemoc | 1.1G |
| 22:46.07 | cromo | good idea, didn't think about it and should since .svn works same way |
| 22:46.42 | mnemoc | svn not that much because subdirs also have .svn dirs... and those get trashed |
| 22:46.59 | mnemoc | but .svn doesn't really clone the repo, only adds references |
| 22:47.15 | cromo | not anymore |
| 22:47.37 | mnemoc | what part? |
| 22:47.37 | cromo | 1.7 keeps everything in one .svn in root dir |
| 22:47.43 | mnemoc | ic |
| 22:47.53 | mnemoc | good to know |
| 22:48.09 | cromo | I am soon to switch to git at work so will catch up quickly |
| 22:48.21 | cromo | I am really up for the idea of local commits |
| 22:48.28 | cromo | something that would have saved my ass milion times |
| 22:48.36 | cromo | also today with allwinner's kernel |
| 22:48.54 | mnemoc | been able to make commits when working offline is critical |

| 22:49.31 | mnemoc | with svn you can't even make a diff when offline :| |
| 22:49.38 | cromo | gotta go to sleep, will get back on the weekend |
| 22:49.54 | cromo | mnemoc: I have local company repository, so not of an issue normally |
