<RITRedbeard> I am the master.
<mnemoc> :)
<hno> mnemoc, the card would be the i2c master in EOMA68.
L84Supper has quit [Ping timeout: 256 seconds]
<hno> I2C basically goes
<hno> MASTER: Device NN, I have a read/write operation for you
<hno> SLAVE NN: Ok
<mnemoc> but that means we don't have i2c until the OS is up and running
<hno> MASTER: Here comes your crap
<hno> SLAVE: WTF?
<mnemoc> :)
<hno> mnemoc, i2c is trivial to do in u-boot or the like.
<hno> alreadu use it for PMU control if you remember.
<mnemoc> good point

<lkcl> apologies, bt hub powered down. did i miss anything?
<mnemoc> lkcl: some talking about eoma68's i2c and early backlight
<lkcl> ta
<lkcl> yeah i'm wiring up the I2C to the STM32F
<mnemoc> starts at 23:26
<lkcl> yep i have that lot. bt hub went down only for about... 5-10 mins
<mnemoc> :)
<lkcl> maybe longer, not sure. time's a bit odd right now, in my head :)
<mnemoc> public logs are good, specially that one that updates on-the-fly :)
tuliom has quit [Quit: Konversation terminated!]
<mnemoc> and black background is appreciated
<lkcl> gaah. i know i said "this is easy" but this is ridiculous. i'm around 50% done on these schematics and i started *today*.
<Turl> what's a bt hub? o.O
<mnemoc> bt is a telco
<mnemoc> not bluetooth
<lkcl> Turl: it's a frisbee. you throw it when you are annoyed and it doesn't come back
<Turl> ah
<Turl> bluetooth hub didn't make much sense indeed :P
<lkcl> unlike a boomerang
<mnemoc> :)
<lkcl> no, it's a rubber ball. you throw it and it bounces and comes back up.
<mnemoc> oh
<lkcl> luckily, my bt hub is acting like a rubber ball, not a frisbee :)
<mnemoc> :)
CaCtus491 has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
<lkcl> i feel somehow that doing schematics should be harder than this. maybe it's because i haven't a clue, but hey, what do i know?
<mnemoc> lkcl: can the connection of the i2c to the STM be turned into a requirement of the standard?
<lkcl> mnemoc: naah. because many people will not use STM32Fs, will they?
<lkcl> so the first operation will be:
<lkcl> a) read the EOMA-68 I2C EEPROM
<lkcl> b) go "what device is this?"
<lkcl> c) go "ah ha! it's one of those looovely ones with an STM32F. Do Something Violent!"
* lkcl was watching the animated film "Monsters vs Aliens" yesterday
<mnemoc> and the backlight will be listed?
<mnemoc> it would be nice to be able to control it over i2c too
<lkcl> ehhhn..... yeah, it would be, wouldn't it! as a "load stuff to the STM32F" module.
<lkcl> well, with both i2c and usb connected, that's entirely possible.
<lkcl> ok gotta get back to it, do some more cut/paste on the STM32F. love the leaflabs guys....
<mnemoc> btw, all my doubts are regarding the first second after plugging and first second after unplugging.... not about the part when linux is already up

<hno> nice!
* stefanro didn't like swapping sd-cards all the time
<mnemoc> \o/
<stefanro> how can i easiest test this reboot problem? which nand u-boot version do i need exactly?
<hno> stefanro, fixed reboot yesterday
<mnemoc> first dram initialization failed after warm reboot
<stefanro> yes, but this seems a bit like a hack - i would like to investigate a bit myself
<mnemoc> the fastest for me was to remove the card, power, interrupt nand's uboot, plug the card, `reset`
<stefanro> my installed nand u-boot version doesn't produce this reboot problem
<mnemoc> :(
<hno> Booting a linux kernel also reproduce it for me.
<stefanro> okay, i'll try move to linux kernel booting then later today and give it another try

<mnemoc> awesome*
<wingrime> mnemoc: About sun4i gpio I simply removed strange code that produce error
<wingrime> it close handler
<wingrime> of device file
<stefanro> hno: the ethernet controller is A10 (sun4i) only? not on the A13 (sun5i)?
<mnemoc> wingrime: yes, saw that. but it doesn't look nice :<
<mnemoc> A10s (a sun5i) has ethernet
<mnemoc> but we don't have any A10s device :|
<stefanro> thats a new chip? updated A10?
<wingrime> mnemoc: I can't remove device file
<mnemoc> new chip. and smaller (size, pins) variant of the A10. but I was told it's sun5i
<wingrime> it need for misc_device class
<mnemoc> wingrime: can't you unregister it first?
<stefanro> but A13 has no wemac, right?
<wingrime> mnemoc: don't clearly understand
<wingrime> mnemoc: I can't remove this /dev/ device file support code, becose it created when I register driver as misc class driver
<wingrime> if I remove it I have no access to sysfs
<mnemoc> rmmod is expected to remove the /sys support
<mnemoc> you can't support something it's no longer there
<hno> stefanro, correct. A13 do not have ethernet.
<stefanro> hno: thx
<wingrime> mnemoc: what I must fix?
<mnemoc> wingrime: not sure, I haven't looked at the driver
<mnemoc> but finish() needs to revert everything init() did
<mnemoc> backwards
<wingrime> I don't touches this part
<wingrime> I simply remove strang release
<wingrime> when dev file closes
<wingrime> ofcose it will produce error when you make real release
<wingrime> after dev file close
<wingrime> I don't toched release / init stuff
<hno> mnemoc, do we have kernel sources for A10s/A12?
<mnemoc> :(
<mnemoc> Tsvetan was supposed to get some samples, I assume including an SDK
<hno> Ok
<ZaEarl> A12?
<hno> What became A10s apparently.
<wingrime> mnemoc: look at code carefully rmmod/insmod work fine now
<ZaEarl> ah, ok. how are we doing on A13?
<wingrime> even after open/close /dev/sun4i-gpio
<mnemoc> and re-insmod works fine?
pawel58701 has quit [Ping timeout: 240 seconds]
<mnemoc> tried playing removing [gpio_para] too?
<mnemoc> ZaEarl: we still have a branch full of pending code from the A13 SDK. but currently A13 support works
cat_x301 has joined #arm-netbook
<ZaEarl> I've got a a13 tablet sample on its way. if it might help, I'll try to get the source for it.
<wingrime> mnemoc: I removed "gpio_used" becose it have not used in code after reading fex
<mnemoc> problem is _used is mandatory. if _used is disabled it doesn't matter if _num > 0
<mnemoc> because it's intended to be disabled
<mnemoc> ZaEarl: there are some A10s dongles out there too

<rellla> hno: can i debug modprobing in any way to get some infos? cannot remember, what dmesg said - on console there was no output at all
<Turl> mnemoc: \o postman got board, hopefully I'll get it today :)
<libv> rellla: the big issue is, that all these patches only now got you an unloadable set o fmodules
<mnemoc> Turl: how long did they hold it?
<Turl> mnemoc: it hit the country on the 19th, city on the 22th, customs on ~30th

<ibot> Turl meant: mnemoc: it hit the country on the 19th, city on the 22th, likely cleared customs on ~30th
<mnemoc> and the local post taking another week makes it a month :p
<mnemoc> Turl: so, should I fork your device_allwinner_common into a device_allwinner we can use in the BSP?
<rellla> libv: that means, that it works only with all patches applied, or not even one patch? then please explain bisecting to a non-programmer :-)
<Turl> if espeedpost hadn't had like one whole week delay to actually give it to hk post it'd have been 3 weeks mnemoc
<libv> rellla: that means that you will have to reboot every time
<mnemoc> rellla: you have a range of commits between working and not working. then try the middle. works? then the middle of the not-working side, etc etc
<libv> git bisect
<mnemoc> :)
<mnemoc> rellla: until the problem gets narrowed to a single commit
<rellla> libv, mnemoc: ah, ok. will take a look at bisect. rebooting every time needs time an a mele - so i have to do that later. maybe i can investigate and help then. btw, somtimes i feel like a stranger in this chat ;-)
<mnemoc> it usually doesn't take that many loops
<mnemoc> rellla: stranger because my comment about not been a fan of xbmc?
<mnemoc> that doesn't mean I don't believe xbmc a critical component... it's just that I'm not a fan of sitting in front of a tv at all
<rellla> mnemoc: no, stranger because of a very shortened knowlegde in programming, hacking etc. as you guys have! my behaviour is very very "hobbyish"
<mnemoc> i'm a noob in this stuff too... i got here to learn and be able to do a carreer shift in future
<mnemoc> sure this project attracted some gurus, but friendly ones :)
<Turl> +1
<rellla> mnemoc: my first contact to xbmc (and even linux) came from vdr, a linux video disk recorder a few years ago. i never used xbmc for playing videos and music at all. working pvr/dvr-implementation in xbmc and a working streaming-client based on a small arm box would be my personal goal... then my rpi can do his job as music player ;-)
<Turl> I'm a noob too, hopefully DIY experience and CS will let me do cool stuff in the futue :)
<rellla> only noobs here *gr*
<Turl> :P
<Turl> rellla: look at mpd for a music player :)
<Turl> works awesomely on A10 too :P
<Turl> and there's an awesome android client https://github.com/abarisain/dmix
<mnemoc> rellla: so don't feel like an stranger ;-)
<rellla> Turl: is already working via wlan here in my office. must say thats very cool. at home mpd works on a10 near tv, too. imho for playing music only, xbmc is VERY oversized. mpd does his job.
<rellla> mnemoc: i don't anymore. there are other chats and forums, which are more "rough"
<mnemoc> :)
<Turl> rellla: if you have an android phone give that client a try, it's really nice :)
<Turl> haha, I laughed with this quote from ML -> "This just ain't the Apple store where a million cubie are on stock."
<rellla> mnemoc: for example that a10linux.org-guy seemed to be strange and out of sorts with linux-sunxi community ....?! hmmm...
<mnemoc> he came one day to announce his forum, we invented him to join and make it forum.linux-sunxi.org, but he left and never returned

<Workboot> Built on an ancient indian burial PCB or something.

<stefanro> mnemoc: which linux branch should i use from the linux-sunxi repo? sunxi-3.4?
<mnemoc> sunxi-3.4 still has some bits pending to forward port from allwinner's usb hackery
<stefanro> mnemoc: for testing and to reproduce this reboot problem?
<mnemoc> stick with sunxi-3.0
<stefanro> okay
<mnemoc> stefanro: I have prebuilts at http://dl.linux-sunxi.org/amery/sunxi-3.0/latest/ if you only want a kernel to test the uboot problem
<stefanro> already building...

<techn> .. or did it work :/
<mnemoc> i hope to have merged a fix :)
<mnemoc> not a problem
<techn> no.. it didn't work :(
<techn> first impression was wrong
<mnemoc> really?
<mnemoc> what's on the serial?
<mnemoc> you should get one '?' for each failed dram initialization

<hno> stefanro, a little confused by the wemac patch. Don's see any GPIO setting enabling PHY power?
<stefanro> hno: i copied this from the linux code - look at sunxi_wemac_initialize()
<stefanro> clrsetbits_le32(&pio->cfg[0], 0xAAAAAAAA, 0x22222222);
<stefanro> ...
<techn> stefanro: did you test that with device that doesn't have phy?
<stefanro> tested on cubieboard
<stefanro> not sure, but my thought was that the PHY is integrated in the SoC
<techn> since atleast for me linux module goes crash loop.. and I have mini-x
<stefanro> might be wrong

pawel5870 has quit [Ping timeout: 252 seconds]
<hno> The PHY is external, and power controlled with a "random" GPIO pin (random as in different on different products)
<hno> stefanro ^
<hno> Only the MAC is integrated.
<stefanro> i didn't look at the schematics yet
<stefanro> i also integrated the "mii" command - so "mii info" is quite useful (for link, speed etc detection)
<hno> stefanro, It's very odd it at all works without programming the GPIO high. Should not.
<rz2k> we need somebody with hackberry
<rz2k> on hackberry wemac is dead right now because of that GPIO being down
<mnemoc> i don't understand why they emac_power output is set to 0 on the mele
<hno> stefanro, see page 10 in schematics.
<mnemoc> and there is no emac_power at all in the cubie's fex
<hno> mnemoc, I know. See mail list discussions.
<mnemoc> i would have expected it to need to be 1, not 0

<hno> mnemoc, I suspect the mele don't have PHY power control.
<mnemoc> but in the sata_power_en thing on the ML they set it to 0 too
<mnemoc> i really fail to understand
<hno> Do mele have SATA power control?
<hno> I don't know. Hard to say without schematics.
<mnemoc> line is empty in the mele's fex
<hno> So probably not.
<hno> Cubieboard schematics lists SATA power control as PB8 and EMAC PHY power control as PH19
<hno> Guess that need to change in next revision. PB8 is I2S.

<hno> stefanro, i wonder.... maybe phy power is hardwired to on. At least on mine just behing etherned socket it looks like there is one transistor replaced by a jumper. And location looks like it should be the phy-pwr-en block.
<hno> unfortunately there is no component numbering on the pcb.

<techn> andoma: no
<techn> andoma: only android ones
<andoma> ah ok
<rz2k> should we close that one?
<techn> It was so hard to get working armhf ones.. so we decided not get armel ones.. If we could some day get newer
<rz2k> also kill next_mali as r3p0 is already here
<techn> rz2k: +1
<mnemoc> I think I removed next_mali already
<mnemoc> git remote prune ?
<andoma> techn: what's the difference between r3 and r2?

<mnemoc> r3p1 is current I think
<mnemoc> p2 maybe?

<WarheadsSE> my mele, with 3.0.38 boots in ~ 10 seconds from power application (includes uboot delay)
<rz2k> cool
<WarheadsSE> Had a bunch of issues the other day with getting the sunxi-3.0 to compile right.
<jas-hacks> rz2k : So mele has hardwired phy power?
<rz2k> probably, no schematic is available :(
<rz2k> only cubieboards where it seems like it is also always high
<jas-hacks> rz2k: so cubieboard is hardwired?
<mnemoc> WarheadsSE: I don't see anything in the issue tracker from yet....
<RaYmAn> mnemoc: not yet managed it myself but: custom u-boot is possible, and you can recover from bad flashes (as long as you don't do some hardware mods)
<RaYmAn> :D
<RaYmAn> (arm chromebook)
<mnemoc> RaYmAn: still waiting for your review
<RaYmAn> heh
<RaYmAn> screen is as expected (not the best, but certainly not the worst) - seems fairly speedy generally, but there are some slowdowns in chrome sometimes scrolling and stuff
<RaYmAn> I blame chrome more than the hardware :P
<RaYmAn> haven't tried out custom OS, e.g. debian or similar yet
<WarheadsSE> mnemoc: I got occupied with a paid project :p
<mnemoc> WarheadsSE: :)
<RaYmAn> mnemoc: how far is yours? :)
<WarheadsSE> I figured I would revisit in in a few days, see where it had gotten.
<RaYmAn> Also, what kind of stuff are you looking to know? :P Review is..broad ;)
<WarheadsSE> since half the problem was github itself failing.
<mnemoc> RaYmAn: still hasn't been reposted :(
<jas-hacks> Anyone know what the bare metal performance of wemac is? Has a look at the wemac code, it seems to be simple interrupt handling with some DMA used for Rx when data is beyond 2000 bytes :(.
<hno> jas-hacks, we don't know what is the story with cubieboard PHY power. Works when it should not.
<mnemoc> lundman: reported 98Mbps with the current driver on his mele
<RaYmAn> mnemoc: aww :(
<mnemoc> s/lundman:/lundman/
<ibot> mnemoc meant: lundman reported 98Mbps with the current driver on his mele
<jas-hacks> Can someone try testing wemac on mele/cubie, just want to get a benchmark of wemac speed.
<WarheadsSE> wemac is the ethernet, yes
<mnemoc> yes
<rz2k> dont test with synthetic loads
<rz2k> try to do something like git or torrent
<rz2k> because it looks like with real loads wemac gets overloaded or something like that
<rz2k> I have git on my mele making only 50mbps :/
<jas-hacks> hno: on cubieboard is emac_power = PH15 or something else?
benjamin__ has joined #arm-netbook
<hno> jas-hacks, would you be able to test ethernet support in my sunxi-current branch?
<hno> I think you need to enable PHY power by setting the right GPIO bit (gpio command).
<hno> that's u-boot not kernel.

<WarheadsSE> farking ca42 driver.
<WarheadsSE> has a bad habit of bluescreening linux.
<WarheadsSE> what
<WarheadsSE> .. win7
<WarheadsSE> man, not my day for organized thought!
<hno> jas-hacks, according to shematics Cubieboard have wired PHY power to ph19. But appears to work without setting any GPIO at all.
<WarheadsSE> is something in the uboot setting it?
<WarheadsSE> and the the kernel not touching it?
<hno> no
<jas-hacks> hno: Saw you commit in https://github.com/hno/uboot-allwinner.git. Will test tomorrow have a day job :(.
<mnemoc> but if they set the output to 0, it's the same as not defininging it at all
<hno> it apparently works in u-boot without u-boot setting the gpio pin, or any other gpio pin,.
<jas-hacks> hno: Hackberry is also PH19 which doesn't make sense?
<hno> jas-hacks, ?
<lundman> with tcpwin changes too
<hno> Using PH19 makes sense. What does not compute is that the PHY is apparently powered without the GPIO pin enabled.
<jas-hacks> Unless the PH19 is brought high by something else.
<hno> jas-hacks, there is nothing else in software at least. The pin is in high impedance input mode.
<hno> default.

<jas-hacks> hno: On the mele/cubie is there a eth isolation transformer?
<jas-hacks> hno: Actually isolation transformer shouldn't make any difference.
<hno> jas-hacks, None visible, but those are usually built in to the connector so hard to say.
<hno> and should not make a difference for PHY chip power.
<hno> Part number listed in cubieboard schematis is a RJ45 network interface transformer.
<hno> Can only assume actual part mounted is as well even if it seems to be some other non-name component.
<jas-hacks> hno: On hackberry we have a separate isolation transformer (Pulse H1102NL) that's the only visible difference I can see next to the RTL8201CP.
<hno> jas-hacks, the PHY power control is cutting VCC to the RTL8201CP. entirely.
<hno> when implemented and working.
<jas-hacks> hno: Just what I thought, then we can't explain how cubie works .
<hno> I suspect the board I have is wired a little differently than the published schematics.
