| 15:41.39 | tonebank | hi |
| 15:42.11 | tonebank | does anyone know if you can flash image to sdcard via livesuite? |
| 15:44.23 | mnemoc | no |
| 15:44.59 | tonebank | is there a way to flash image to sd via win/osx? |
| 15:45.37 | mnemoc | not a livesuit image |
| 15:46.14 | tonebank | standard image? |
| 15:46.25 | *** join/#cubieboard trinathon (~deans-and@128.187.215.194) |
| 15:46.31 | mnemoc | there is a tool called phoenixcard that turns a livesuit image into an installer sd card |

| 15:46.47 | mnemoc | but at the ends it writes the nand anyway |
| 15:46.54 | *** join/#cubieboard user_ (~user@82.84.120.121) |
| 15:49.19 | tonebank | if I flash the nand where can the orginal android flash for livesuit? |
| 15:51.03 | mnemoc | those images are intended for nand, not SD. even if you write them to sd they won't work, because they expect to live in /dev/nand* |
| 15:51.10 | mnemoc | not /dev/mmc* |
| 15:51.57 | tonebank | ok but i mean if I want to reflash android |
| 15:53.22 | mnemoc | android to nand via livesuit, yes |
| 15:53.27 | mnemoc | android to uSD. no |
| 15:54.07 | tonebank | yes but where can I download the android flash? |
| 15:54.08 | grimes99 | how many ADC converters are there on the cubie? |
| 15:55.57 | mnemoc | grimes99: http://dl.cubieboard.org/hardware/cubieboard_schematic_2012-08-08.pdf |
| 15:56.33 | grimes99 | ty |
| 15:57.26 | mnemoc | tonebank: i doubt there is one yet |
| 15:58.08 | tonebank | because it would be nice to have a backup fireware in case |
| 15:58.16 | tonebank | firmware* |
| 15:58.36 | mnemoc | tonebank: the boards don't come with android, they come with a buildroot-based linux installation |
| 15:58.55 | tonebank | mine got android |
| 15:59.15 | mnemoc | so it's a very early board |
| 15:59.23 | mnemoc | with very broken android |
| 15:59.44 | tonebank | hmm everything´s working correct ;) |
| 16:00.19 | tonebank | and I have 2 loaders installed |
| 16:00.23 | mnemoc | lucky you. mine had usb disabled |
| 16:00.44 | tonebank | 1 for tv-interface and one for standard android |
| 16:01.24 | tonebank | ok i connected keyboard and it works flawless |
| 16:02.35 | tonebank | so no way to backup nand? |
| 16:03.52 | mnemoc | boot from uSD and dump the nand to a file |
| 16:04.48 | tonebank | thats the problem i cant get the usd working |
| 16:06.48 | mnemoc | https://github.com/linux-sunxi/u-boot-sunxi/wiki |
| 16:08.16 | tonebank | ye but my vm-machine mounts the sdcard as a folder instead of sdcard |
| 16:08.37 | tonebank | så i have only windows and osx to work with :/ |
| 16:08.55 | mnemoc | you should be able to do so from osx's terminal |
| 16:09.23 | tonebank | nice |
| 16:09.41 | mnemoc | just be sure to umount it first |
| 16:09.51 | tonebank | then i´m back on track :) |
| 16:09.59 | tonebank | thanks |
| 16:46.20 | GPSFan_ | mnemoc, thanks for all the work you've done on the sunxi-linux kernel repo's. I was able to compile my own kernel, spl, u-boot and have it booting off sdcard along with a clone of the nandd rootfs. |
| 16:48.17 | mnemoc | GPSFan_: thanks, but it's not only my work, there are many contributors fixing, improving and cleaning code :) |
| 16:48.36 | GPSFan_ | mnemoc, yeah, we all stand on the sholders of giants. |
| 16:48.53 | mnemoc | :) |
| 16:51.03 | GPSFan_ | mnemoc, question, with the original kernel etc booted from nand, I tried running all the test suites from /test. the lightshow gives an error of "Unable to initialize EGL" . any clue as to whether this is supposed to work? I've googled that error message and it implies that the mali driver and libEGL (abd friends) may have a version mismatch. |
| 16:52.31 | mnemoc | i'm not really familiar with the mali stuff, poke rzk or techn |
| 16:53.04 | GPSFan_ | thanks |
| 16:53.12 | rzk | I'm not familiar with what Tom placed there |
| 16:54.02 | rzk | mnemoc: head branch still uses r2p4, right? |
| 16:54.15 | mnemoc | rzk: yes, but buf2 is there |
| 16:54.44 | GPSFan_ | rzk, thanks, the Ceader stuff plays the vid ok and I can see the mali & ump driver load in dmesg. when I run lightshow under strace, I can see it open the mali driver, then close it and print the error. |
| 16:54.54 | *** join/#cubieboard debianin (~user@82.84.120.121) |
| 16:55.00 | rzk | GPSFan_: what rootfs you have, armel or armhf? |
| 16:55.07 | mnemoc | rzk: still hoping to get cedarx armhf libs soon so we can forget about r2p4 |
| 16:55.32 | rzk | GPSFan_: try chmod 777 /dev/mali chmod 777 /dev/ump |
| 16:56.07 | GPSFan_ | rzk, the one that came on the cubieboard, I believe it is armel, as I tried replacing the libegl libs with the armhf ones and got an error about a missing armhf library. |
| 16:56.25 | rzk | place these https://github.com/linux-sunxi/mali-libs/tree/master/r2p4/armel/framebuffer |
| 16:56.27 | GPSFan_ | rzk, I'll give that a try |
| 16:56.56 | rzk | also dont forget to chmod mali & ump devices in /dev/ to 777 or users will have ump failing to access memory. |
| 16:57.58 | GPSFan_ | I did try those as well with the same result. AS I'm running as root, would the chmod 777 matter? |
| 16:58.20 | rzk | probably not, but still :p |
| 16:58.37 | rzk | do you have any output in dmesg when running EGL ? |
| 16:58.52 | rzk | it should be something like "UMP: Opened new session" |
| 16:59.01 | GPSFan_ | let me boot it up and see... |
| 16:59.05 | rzk | that signs that libEGL is loaded |
| 16:59.17 | rzk | and access to ump is ok |
| 16:59.40 | GPSFan_ | de-clutters the desk... |
| 16:59.41 | rzk | each app you try to run with EGL should throw that to dmesg, by the way. |
| 17:02.37 | GPSFan_ | ok booted, dmesg reports the ump module loaded, lsmod reports ump used by disp, no mali module loaded. |
| 17:03.26 | rzk | modprobe mali and mali_drm |
| 17:04.04 | rzk | (not sure about the last one, drm is used only by X11, maybe you can run without it) |
| 17:06.39 | GPSFan_ | de-clutters the desk... |
| 17:06.48 | GPSFan_ | ok, modprobed both mali & mali_drm, dmesg shows the mali driver clock set and the driver loaded. also shows drm initialized |
| 17:07.24 | GPSFan_ | changemodded both /dev's and ran lightshow again, same result, dmesg shows ump session opened then closed. |
| 17:08.09 | rzk | interesting |
| 17:08.50 | GPSFan_ | this is what libEGL is in /lib ---->> -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 96440 Sep 23 2012 /lib/libEGL.so |

| 17:09.55 | rzk | download this package https://github.com/matson-hall/allwinner-buildroot/blob/884c27dc20394c0c5fea9e6004ef5207fb4e30ab/package/mali-3d-r2p4/sun4i_mali-bin.tar |
| 17:10.43 | rzk | and unpack libs to /lib, it should work this way. check that you don have any symlinks or whatever in /usr/lib for EGL or GLES |
| 17:10.45 | GPSFan_ | yeah, mine is different than: mali-libs / r2p4 / armel / framebuffer / lib / libEGL.so I'll give that a try |
| 17:12.40 | rzk | wait |
| 17:12.47 | rzk | why you have disp depend on ump? |
| 17:13.01 | rzk | we've splitted it to disp_ump and disp |
| 17:13.24 | rzk | are you completely sure that you are using latest kernel from linux-sunxi? |
| 17:14.08 | rzk | also we are trying to figure out our own BSP package so people will have "one command" install of kernel/u-boot/mali/whatever as cubieboard did for their buildroot rootfs. |
| 17:17.12 | GPSFan_ | rzk, "I" don't have disp depend on ump, that's what lsmod showed on a clean boot up of the cubieboard, I've not modified that system at all. I have rebuilt my own kernel from linux-sunxi but this is the kernel & rootfs from the nand. |
| 17:17.47 | GPSFan_ | I'm trying to figure out if what came on the cubie's nand is operational. |
| 17:18.39 | GPSFan_ | that is a different debugging process from getting the latest kernel and an older rootfs to work, which I am not trying to do. |
| 17:19.30 | GPSFan_ | all your help is much appreciated... |
| 17:23.16 | rzk | interesting, I'm sorry for confusing you :p both r2p4 from our repo and from matson-hall should work fine with default kernel/rootfs of cubieboard, as far as I know. I dont have a cubieboard to test that. I recommend you to build yourself a sdcrad with u-boot/kernel and rootfs of your choice and work with it. |
| 17:25.08 | debianin | too much hype on raspberry, no hipe at all on cubieboard. you guys have to short the distance with weak raspberry. |
| 17:25.39 | rzk | I actually dont get why Tom didnt hire mnemoc or somebody else to prepare a Debian rootfs or whatever to ship with cubieboard, buildroot is more for non-MMU CPU's and often used as recovery console, not as default system. |
| 17:27.23 | GPSFan_ | rzk, I'll let you know what I figure out, from the sizes of the EGL related libs, they are not r2p4, r3p, or r3p1. I've downloaded your buildroot repo and will give building thw whole shebang a try. |
| 17:29.33 | GPSFan_ | imho, the cubie has the rpi beat by a long shot, just the stability of the usb was enough to cause me to put my rpi's in a box in the closet. |
| 17:30.14 | rzk | thats not mine by the way :p it is from some guy named Matson Hall, never heard of him, but he appears to maintain default stuff for cubieboard. |
| 17:31.10 | GPSFan_ | thanks, |

| 17:33.26 | rzk | you are welcome |
| 17:34.53 | debianin | rzk, they say they are qwithout money, cant hire so i think they cant hire people. |
| 17:36.06 | debianin | also my raspberry fail on usb. i cant overclocock otherwise usb freeze some seconds randomically. |
| 17:36.11 | GPSFan_ | rzk, from the sizes of my egl related libs, they match what is in matson's mali-3d-r2p3 repo, so I'll try the r2p4 ones and see what happens. |
| 17:41.42 | GPSFan_ | rzk, and what's in matson's mali-3d-r2p4 repo are different from what are in https://github.com/linux-sunxi/mali-libs/tree/master/r2p4/armel/framebuffer/lib |
| 17:41.56 | GPSFan_ | seems I have a bit of testing to do... ;>)) |
| 17:42.07 | rzk | build time I guess |
| 17:42.52 | GPSFan_ | is the source of lightshow availble? |
| 17:43.17 | rzk | those are old libs from Tom, but something can be different there. |
| 17:53.51 | debianin | noone is preparinf a "cubian"? (debian for cubieboard). Or debian for ARMv7 (debian "testing" 7.0) is cubieboard compliant 100%? |
| 17:54.59 | rzk | anything that is armel or armhf and not strictly depend on EGL is compliant |
| 17:56.03 | rzk | for example you cant run open webos on cubieboard because they need some weird framebuffer workaround (background rendering is done with fb0 and apps rendering is done with fb1, for software EGL it is ok, for Mali - nope). |
| 18:03.31 | GPSFan_ | rzk, I copied the libs from https://github.com/linux-sunxi/mali-libs/tree/master/r2p4/armel/framebuffer/lib onto my nand and now after modprobing mali, lightshow works! Looks like the libs that were shipped with the cubie were r2p3 not r2p4. |
