kenny, Allwinner and linux-sunxi uses different machid numbers. You might need to adjust that (setenv machid ...) before starting a legacy Allwinner kernel.

hno: I see that now on the manual build page. Thank you.

I find it odd that I've unplugged my CB2 yet I still get a dim red led. I guess it must get a little power over tty even with vcc hooked up.

is it possible to get cubieboard2 to boot off of HDD?
<memleak>
SATA of course
<kenny>
Can anyone tell me why when I do a sysreq reboot it reboots to nand instead of MMC and if there's a way to change that?

kenny: yes, some boards get vampire-powered via the serial console and it causes mmc boot not to work
<Turl>
memleak: it should work just fine (from mmc of course)
<kenny>
Turl: mmc boot works just fine except if I sysrq boot the thing. I figured it had to be over serial as I unplugged both HDMI and ethernet. It's also only when no SD card is in it. Doesn't hurt anything I guess, just strange.
hno has joined #linux-sunxi
<memleak>
Turl, how about from NAND?
<memleak>
because NAND doesn't always boot from SD and i'd hate to play musical chairs to get it boot to SD, so it can boot to HDD
<Turl>
memleak: to boot from nand you need to use the lichee-dev branch
<Turl>
no sata there
pwhalen has joined #linux-sunxi

and I don't know if you can extload from nand, it may just read raw partitions into memory

memleak: mmc has the precedence, as long as the card is there (and you don't have the vampire problem or sth) it'll always boot from it first

does vampire problem go away when not using serial over FTDI?

lioka, talked to Marex the other day about it and he thinks the proper way to fix things is to instruct compiler to not generate the hash section. But I don't know.

But it's more a discussion for #u-boot or it's mailinglist than here.

hno: what's your gcc shows in -dumpspecs around *link: ?

hno: anyway, we have at least two workarounds, and as for me, this u-boot devs attitude smells like 'we're so special' mantra, which i've used to ignore.

translation of last week: xbmc developers left when they realized that wasn't so easy to add support for sunxi. The few lost users that are around here, are as the general xbmc users with a high demands of what to expect of a player. And as the user realize that xbmc doesn't work okay, they think sunxi is bad. Without realizing the amount of work that still need to be done, until xbmc support can done without problems.
<nove>
To keep hacking xbmc to work with what we have right now, feels like wasting time because hopeful in some months things will be better, and this time could be better used to work in other things.
<nove>
In that so, i think is better to say, that we don't support xbmc, xbmc is not working, use another player or android.

big red warning font, to explain to the lost users, that xbmc is not ready

i tried to use fbturbo for fosdem; on a very clean setup with a 3.4 kernel; and fbturbo kept crashing either at the login screen, or beyond. even moving or resizing a window was causing it. I wasn't using softpipe though; and only X was crashing

and I think having a working xbmc is really useful to attract users
<nove>
juan__: to make xbmc work, the gpu + vpu + display controller have to work all together, this is not possible right now without those problems that are seeing
<nove>
juan__: attract users is good, but there are bigger priorities to work on
<nove>
juan__: and attracting users to get more complain is not good
<nove>
juan__: in what things can you help?
<juan__>
the current path is problematic. VDPAU+XBMC needs GL_NV_vdpau_interop OpenGL extension in order to work. And that extension is not present in OpenGL ES
<juan__>
XBMC compiling infraestructure doesn't even contemplate compiling with both opengles + vdpau
<ssvb>
oliv3r: this is a bit surprising, I have not seen any crashes in normal x11 desktop
<jemk>
GL_NV_vdpau_interop is from the pc world, where gpu does the video decoding. It won't work that easy for us
<oliv3r>
ssvb: this was a week or 10 days before fosdem
<oliv3r>
hmm maybe 5 days before
<ssvb>
oliv3r: any problem that is not reported and/or is not reproducible, just does not exist ;)
<ssvb>
paulk-collins: 'turns the tablet off' might sound like some problem in the kernel
<paulk-collins>
"any problem that is not reported and/or is not reproducible, just does not exist ;)" you're my hero :)
<paulk-collins>
ssvb, probably. Now I think I should try to get UART out of this thing and see what really happens.
<ssvb>
paulk-collins: that would help a lot, and maybe the same problem could be tested on a devboard with easily accessible UART
<paulk-collins>
my guess is that it's very specific to that particular tablet, so I'm afraid using another board wouldn't help
<paulk-collins>
but I should also test with 3.4 before anything else
<ssvb>
paulk-collins: hmm, what are you testing now?
<paulk-collins>
an old 3.0
<paulk-collins>
from, well, likely more than 6 months now
<paulk-collins>
it'd an old Replicant/Android build I did
<juan__>
nove, it would be nice in addition to the disclaimer at linux-sunxi.org/XBMC to have/to draw a list of steps that are needed to get xbmc to work
<ssvb>
paulk-collins: this might explain a lot, is the framebuffer size (width * height * bytes per pixel) a multiple of 4096 bytes?
<ssvb>
paulk-collins: are you using the latest sunxi-3.0 branch or something else?
<paulk-collins>
ssvb, I don't use UMP anyway
<ssvb>
paulk-collins: oh, how are you running the "gnome-shell on the fedora image" then?
<ssvb>
paulk-collins: having no UMP means no GLES support in X11
<paulk-collins>
ssvb, no no, it's another device
<paulk-collins>
gnome-shell/fedora is on the zatab
<paulk-collins>
what I'm talking about is a Q88 A13 tablet
<juan__>
nove, i'm a developer. but completely new to this really-close-to-hardware world. learning, though.
<paulk-collins>
ssvb, the zatab has no particular battery problem with fedora btw
<oliv3r>
ssvb: i thought libv brought it up with you :)
<nove>
juan__: step 3, the lima driver project resulting in a usable driver, this will take loots of time, again don't ask when is finished
<juan__>
nove, not worth trying the blobs?
<nove>
juan__: you notice, i didn't speak about binaries blobs, they only give problems that aren't so easy to fix
<nove>
juan__: we have already all that is need, is only need to do the work for a FLOSS driver
<nove>
juan__: if you know how to code and want to help, then see what is being done and ask questions, you will quick find some thing that you be able to help in
<bertrik>
I don't mind helping too, I have an Olimex A10-lime, but I'm afraid all the "easy" stuff has already been done
<nove>
1. observe, 2. interact, 3. start coding
<jemk>
I try to write the kernel driver at the moment, based on v4l2, but that will need a lot more time. And in userspace we might can reuse the samsung things, they also use v4l for their vpu
<Wizzup>
jemk: their interface is barely usable though
<Wizzup>
mfc that is
<jemk>
Wizzup: at least there seems to be an omx wrapper, but i don't know if it works
<juan__>
thanks nove. you'are being really nice :)
<juan__>
i'll be observing
<Wizzup>
jemk: I like whatever mplayer/mpv can use
<nove>
do sunxi have the moment to get in a google summer of code?
<nove>
i think we do
<nove>
what about if we try?
<jemk>
It looks like there is nearly no application using the v4l codec api, so there has to be done some work too.
<nove>
"Registration opens on March 10"

jemk: you are a student?

oliv3r: appears that the 'best' distro guys are lurking in http://www.cubieforums.net/ (at least they use more or less up-to date sunxi-3.4 kernels for their images)
<nove>
no idea how gsoc works, so i don't when know if we(sunxi) can qualify
<jemk>
nove: yes, im a student
<ssvb>
oliv3r: for example, I don't know what software configuration paulk-collins is using, which snapshot of the kernel, etc.
<ssvb>
oliv3r: and this makes it difficult for troubleshooting
<nove>
mnemoc: oliv3r, ^^^

nove: the mentoring organizations already have been chosen for this year
<jemk>
nove: published about one hour ago ;)

<ssvb>
oliv3r: some of the problems are difficult to workaround in a backwards compatible manner, for example old bugs triggered by 'magic' screen resolutions
<ssvb>
oliv3r: the 2GB bus/physical addresses mismatch issue reproducible with old kernels on the cubietruck is another example
<nove>
too bad, maybe we can squeeze in, there is debian and fedora has kernel tag
<oliv3r>
ssvb: i was using 'debootstrap debian' with libv's/our 'packages'
<oliv3r>
was using hansg's fedora 19 3.4 kernel
<oliv3r>
i try to reproduce with latest stuff
<oliv3r>
but didn't use git nothing
<nove>
but is too much of a push, what a distro has to do with a vpu
* nove
only notice now that there is 4 pages
<ssvb>
oliv3r: ok, I'll also try to run some more tests
<oliv3r>
ssvb: i'm writing a new chapter based on debootstrap now; so i'll poke you about it
<oliv3r>
where does the fbturbo package come from? packages.sunxi.org?
<ssvb>
oliv3r: the packages at packages.sunxi.org are probably also fine, but I'm not using debian normally
<paulk-collins>
ssvb, yup, that's what I did
<nove>
libv, you have more experience, do a project to add the first fully open source vpu to the kernel, will be something that has the chance to be part of X.Org Foundation for google summer of code?
eyal has quit [Ping timeout: 240 seconds]
<hramrach>
X does not do much with the vpu
<hramrach>
you can convince some of the X people to sponsor it but it's only tangentially related
<oliv3r>
freedesktop foundation*
juan__ has quit [Ping timeout: 272 seconds]
<hramrach>
like if you put things together correctly X and vpu will use the same buffer manager and not step on each others buffers
<nove>
well is graphics, but is more V4L related
<nove>
Linaro, or the The Linux Foundation?
<hramrach>
*maybe
<hramrach>
I guess if Linaro does gsoc this is the kind of thing they would sponsor but they do not do sunxi, do they?
<nove>
the vpu in the kernel will be the first of it kind, other will use it a reference to write drivers
<oliv3r>
it's a pretty big and 'difficult' step
gzamboni has quit [Ping timeout: 244 seconds]
<jemk>
nove: not really, there are v4l based vpu drivers in kernel, samsung mfc for example (but they talk to a firmware blob)
<Turl>
there's some 'umbrella orgs'
<Turl>
you could talk to them and see if they'd be willing to help

<oliv3r>
well the mfc driver is quite different isnt' it
<oliv3r>
basically; a part of the 'driver' is shifted to the firmware, and you just push/shove data to it/from it isn't it?
<jemk>
oliv3r: right
<oliv3r>
if you wanna get accepted for GSoC you'd have to hurry though
<Turl>
oliv3r: nah
<Turl>
oliv3r: student openings haven't opened yet
<oliv3r>
well to get accepted as a project :)
<oliv3r>
i saw gentoo has been accepted today; and we have nothing yet :)
<Turl>
oliv3r: org applications were feb 3 to 14
<Turl>
students' are march 10-21
<oliv3r>
well it's feb 24'th so 10 days to late :)
<nove>
jemk: if you are really up to, don't be still, do has Turl says, look for organizations and ask them if this is something that fit in and has chances of acceptation
