TomNL: xbmc itself is 1080p, but the monitor resolution isnt.
<lundman>
i wonder if that is in the binary, or in the script.bin stuff
itamarjp has joined #arm-netbook
<lundman>
and script it is.. 1080p test
<lundman>
its not that much worse than 720p actually, very good
<cheng>
can the melea100 play HD movie file? any issue with this?
<mysteryname>
A100? I'm sure it can, I have a A2000 and it can play 1080p no problem.
<cheng>
what player you use to play file?

I've been using android, I don't know if hardware acceleration is supported on linux.
<mysteryname>
someone else could answer that better than I
<cheng>
what video format you are playing?
<lundman>
linux cant play HD video yet
<mysteryname>
mostly AVI's iirc
<lundman>
android can play some
<cheng>
what's the reason? hardware acceleration enable in android and not linux?
<lundman>
correct
<mysteryname>
The gpu drivers are closed source, so people are trying to reverse engineer the drivers (correct me if I'm wrong)

beneath android is linux layer, so if gpu driver is working in android, it suppose to work with linux - provide we know the interface/function calling (right?)
<lundman>
for most things, except GUI related things

where i can find some guide/work towards this?
<drachensun>
empat0 has managed to build xbmc with some acceleration. His work is here https://github.com/empatzero/xbmca10. I couldn't build with HF and got up in other things
<drachensun>
but some people have said it worked and they could play dvd quality movies again
<drachensun>
another guy posted a built binary on here, again for soft float. I dont think I have the link anymore

grevaillot has joined #arm-netbook
<lundman>
it runs, using miniand, which is armel
<lundman>
we have no hardware drivers compiled with hf
<lundman>
it works, but not at all usable as mediaplayer
<drachensun>
what can't you do?
<drachensun>
I know that binary cedar player didn't have controls, or at least not nice graphical ones, you can pause it with the keyboard
<drachensun>
does it just call that?
<lundman>
i would say, most things under 720p plays ok, in the android release
<lundman>
720p and up does not play well enough to be a mediaplayer
<lundman>
audio is downmix to stereo only, that is also not ok to be a mediaplayer
<drachensun>
what about in the linux release, can you play 720 video there?

jquip, same driver supports many chips. But hard to say exactĺy which.
<jquip>
:( :( well actually hno... the normal goodix_touch driver... (for gt801) does load up... the only problem is it that the i2c test fails ... which I have no idea about...
<jquip>
so , the driver could not send anything to the I2C....

jquip, odd. It does detect the chip and then fail.
<RaYmAn>
are you sure that "Jan 1 00:33:35 linaro-alip kernel: [ 2015.000000] ctp_detect: Detected chip Goodix-TS at adapter 2, address 0x5d" means it has actually detected it as opposed to having gottten configuration data that it's supposed to be there?
<RaYmAn>
I've seen a lot of drivers do that unfortunately
<jquip>
aah... interesting... well the config data is being read I believe...
cheng has joined #arm-netbook
<jquip>
because the ctp_fetch variables (lines 3-9) are reading the config data..

mnemoc: hehe :) no need anymore to fix 1080/720
<TomNL>
nice
<lundman>
i mailed him to say it worked
<mnemoc>
personally I can't care less about xmbc, but it shows the libs we have are worth of something
<TomNL>
hehe
<TomNL>
mnemoc: but playback is still shaky...i dont know how it is when using internal sata/usb
<TomNL>
but over lan i cannot play 720
<TomNL>
still have to test kernel with wemac fix though
<lundman>
even with the fixed nic drivers, you can not play 720p and up
<lundman>
and avi/xvid is a core dump
<mnemoc>
neon or cedarx?
<lundman>
although, didnt try with latest binary
<mnemoc>
it sucks to not have at least the same buggy cedarx code but armhf instead of armel (v4)
<TomNL>
the android libs are maybe better? i see we can also compile xbmca10 for android?
<mnemoc>
my daughters actually do stream 1080p from youtube on android and plays well
<lundman>
android can play normal bitrate 1080p
<mnemoc>
so hardware is capable
<lundman>
yep
<lundman>
even bluray TS 1080p plays ok underandroid
<lundman>
not high bitrate stuff, but still
<lundman>
but ICS only has stereo downmix, needs JB

I'd like to get a serial out out the MK802. I found out there are pins on the PCB, so that's one way. But is there an easier way? (Hoping for some USB OTG abuse similar to what e.g. some android phones have, where you just connect the right thing to the ID pin and get serial).
<lundman>
for console, or adb?
<zub>
kernel console
<zub>
so real serial... AFAIK I can't use usb2serial for that.
<zub>
There's net console, never used that... but again, it would probably be started quite late after boot.
<lundman>
most likely
<lundman>
if its a uart, you have to connect to that.. apart from that, I dont see what you can do that will be active as early as uboot time
<mnemoc>
iirc the uart of the mk802 is in some micro pads very close to the SoC
<zub>
as I said, I hoped the usb otg thing can do the hack, i.e. not serial gadget, but real serial via USB pins. I'm no HW person, but I assume this is how the serial (and HDMI) over USB connections work e.g. in samsung phones.
<TomNL>
lundman: dont know if apk is available but according to the git you should be able to compile
<ejstacey>
rm: does the mk802 have proper pins for that adapter, though?
<TomNL>
maybe empat0 can get a version for us :)
<ejstacey>
from that picture, doesn't look like it
<rm>
ejstacey, no, it just has pads on the PCB
<zub>
mnemoc: I got the device jsut yesterday and currently I'm rather short on hacking tools... but if I do get anywhere, I will
<zub>
also short on time :(
<mnemoc>
zub: thanks
<zub>
np
<ejstacey>
ah yeah, so he'd have to solder it on
<ejstacey>
but after that, all good
<rm>
ejstacey, the point is, TTL to USB devices are readily available for about 1-2$, no one has to make something from scratch out of shit and sticks^W^W^W capacitors and a bare MAX232
<mnemoc>
damn googlegroups, if you send mails to an alias of the mail address it gets archived and broadcasted, but they don't prefix the subject and neither append the list related headers :<
<Turl>
mnemoc: I've resubscribed with the right smtp/email now :D
<oliv3r>
if you want a cheap one, just get one of those 'nokia rs232' cables on dealextreme, 2 USD or so
<zub>
oliv3r: need skipping to EU, east EU... that typically makes the cheap deals not so cheap anyway
<zub>

<mnemoc>
Uhrheber: regardless how you set your display, if you don't have anything using it you won't see anything
<Uhrheber>
Tried it in a virtual console of Lubuntu
<mnemoc>
and your kernel has framebuffer_console enabled?
<mnemoc>
which is unlikely if that image uses a repurposed gpl-violating android kernel
<Uhrheber>
The funny thing is, that Lubuntu seems to detect my monitor (DVI-D monitor connected to HDMI via adapter), because the lxde screen config shows it's native resolution (but nothing else). The Login screen is nearly ok, but after login the desktop is squeezed to the left 2/3 of the screen, and the rest is garbled.
<Uhrheber>
Also the colours are ok, so lubuntu can force the HDMI to RGB colours, and VGA resolutions. Just the timing is a little bit off.
<Uhrheber>
Is there a premade image with framebuffer_console that I could try?
<Turl>
mnemoc: /query :)

built a 16 port DB25 monster in the old days, and used DB9 a lot until about 5 years ago. But now almost never. I do have an USB->DB9 since some years back but haven't even opened the package.
