| 14:17.21 | popolon | probably the src of the wrong number for g2d |
| 14:17.48 | popolon | as I suppose that's the sunxifb xorg driver that ask for g2d kernel driver |
| 14:17.54 | popolon | nothing in proc/config.gz |
| 14:18.13 | ssvb | the sunxi-3.4 kernel should use 'g2d_23' name for the kernel module, the allwinner 3.3 kernel used 'g2d_51' |
| 14:18.23 | popolon | focus, didn't you see you had g2d = yes in your sources ? |
| 14:19.03 | ssvb | I guess 'g2d_23' is the 'right' choice because it avoids a pointless rename |

| 18:10.49 | buZz | 2 hours? |
| 18:10.59 | popolon | so even without hw acceleration, it should be faster |
| 18:11.12 | buZz | there is no neon code used in the kernel, is there? |
| 18:11.36 | focus_it | popolon: git clone git://github.com/linux-sunxi/linux-sunxi.git git checkout --track stage/sunxi-3.4 |
| 18:11.37 | popolon | I mean autovectorization |
| 18:11.47 | popolon | ok, ok, thanks a lot ! |
| 18:12.17 | popolon | buZz, if you use -O3 neon auto-vectorization is activated |
| 18:12.32 | focus_it | i got quad core, but i compile on my netbook |
| 18:12.36 | popolon | so if it detects vectorizable loop it vectorize it |

| 18:13.57 | focus_it | in that case follow the guide here http://linux-sunxi.org/FirstSteps - easy |
| 18:14.03 | focus_it | :) |
| 18:14.10 | popolon | that's what I do |
| 18:14.26 | popolon | and adapt some parts |
| 18:14.39 | popolon | if this works, I will add it to wiki |
| 18:14.54 | focus_it | so what is average fastest anyone compiles with i7 or other beefy computer? |
| 18:15.07 | focus_it | popolon: yes please, i follow it |
| 18:15.51 | popolon | focus_it, do you use make -j4 at least ? |
| 18:15.52 | focus_it | just rough idea - 20min? 1 hour? |
| 18:16.08 | popolon | that's hard to know |
| 18:16.15 | focus_it | i use j5 |
| 18:16.25 | popolon | everyhting depend on what is a mean computer, and what is compiled etc... |
| 18:16.57 | popolon | my previous cpu was an single core AMD ULV @~1.5Ghz |
| 18:17.11 | popolon | so not the mean computer of today |
| 18:17.41 | popolon | a ULV processor is really hard to find for a desktop motherboard |
| 18:18.58 | focus_it | just trying to see if worthwhile getting another beefier device - the netbook handy because i can take it work and bring it home easy - keeps everything in one place. its got ssd = fast at most things |
| 18:19.25 | focus_it | disk based |
| 18:21.06 | popolon | I used ubuntu Buildroot, not firststep |
| 18:21.18 | popolon | I must synthetize all these informations :) |
| 18:21.27 | focus_it | yes please |
| 18:21.39 | popolon | I mean, first, in my head :D |
| 18:21.57 | focus_it | so much information out there - getting it listed in the right order to save time is what counts |
| 18:27.35 | popolon | I export CFLAGS='-O3 -mcpu=cortex-a7' |
| 18:27.41 | popolon | before compiling on the cb2 |
| 18:28.00 | popolon | make -j2 to take benefits of the 2 cores |
| 18:28.16 | popolon | works pretty well, not specially slow :) |
| 18:28.22 | focus_it | how fast |
| 18:28.33 | focus_it | i want to try |
| 18:28.40 | popolon | like on average computer I believe |
| 18:28.48 | popolon | at least for mali driver |
| 18:28.56 | focus_it | that is good news - do you use disk or ssd? |
| 18:29.04 | popolon | http://linux-sunxi.org/Binary_drivers <= I follow this |

| 18:30.46 | popolon | some diff (that's for A10/A13 after identifier, but should not make diff) |
