^^ the link error when building u-boot lichewe-dev sun4i_sd
<hramrach>
there is linker crash but undefined symbol also
<hramrach>
I don't understand how that can happen since init_part is static functtion defined in header included in the file that references it
<slapin>
hramrach: lynker crashes because of undefined symbols
<hramrach>
possibly CONFIG_PARTITIONS is not defined
<hramrach>
but where and how it is defined for the targets that work ..

oliv3r: the SDKs olimex received included mach-sun5i, /dev/cedar and some other parts as .ko/.o only
<hramrach>
is it possible to set uart options someplace other than board.cfg?
<hramrach>
the cubieboard config on sunxi branch seems to use the defeault there
<hramrach>
and so does sun4i on lychee-dev
<hramrach>
but no output
<mnemoc>
hramrach: on boards.cfg you set defines, then the defiens are used to pick pinmuxes
<mnemoc>
the cubieboard has dedicated uart0 pins so the default fits fine, same for the mele
<hramrach>
the only estra define is SPL
<mnemoc>
lichee-dev doesn't use the spl part, it relies in boot0/boot1
SouL_ has joined #arm-netbook
SouL_ has left #arm-netbook [#arm-netbook]

yes, that's why it is not defined
<hramrach>
I guess the sun4i_sd errorneously defines MMC which includes libmmc and fails to link with it then
<hramrach>
in lichee-dev
<mnemoc>
one is to boot from nand, with the default uart pins and the SD slot as SD slot
<mnemoc>
and the other to boot from nand, with the SD slot as uart/jtag breakout
<hramrach>
that seems to be sun4i_sd

not that I need the sd uart

i wouldn't worry
<lawrence>
they're selling more than enough of these at the price point

mnemoc, can you please merge my patch titled; "[PATCH 3.4 4/8] Added support for Olinuxino A13_Micro" into stage/sunxi-3.4 I understand we don't want per board defconfig-s but (for now) this one really is necessary because the micro only has 256M of ram, so if you do a default defconfig you almost have no ram left
<hansg>
And people are asking for instructions how to build a Olinuxino A13_Micro kernel ...

<lawrence>
then stuff can proceed

so research research research
<mnemoc>
:)
<hansg>
mnemoc, I understand the desire for something more generic, my medium term plan is to make the reservation code check the kernel cmdline, allowing to dynamically set the reservation size (down to 0 bytes), and then check the size in the drivers using said reservation, and fail module_init in those drivers when the reservation is 0.
<hansg>
mnemoc, so I don't want to spend too much time on short plan solutions. I just checked and the def_config is a single file, so I'll just mail it to the list as attachment, and tell people asking about the micro to copy it into place.
<mnemoc>
considering mali support needs all those fat reserves a headless/server defconfig isn't really a short term solution soon death solution...
<mnemoc>

libv, do you have NO_HZ set in your kernel .config ? I've been debugging a hang on A10s for 3-4 days in a row now, and it seems the periodic mode of the main timer is broken

Reading the code, it really seems broken too, so things match up

reverse dns, actually.

<libv>
i am running defconfig with fb compiled in atm
<hansg>
I've it stable now by removing CLOCK_EVT_FEAT_ONESHOT from the timer struct in arch/arm/mach-sun5i/core.c, you may want to do the same for the sun4i, as that seems affected too
_jm has joined #arm-netbook

<libv>
seems to be defconfig
<mnemoc>
works fine for mostly everyone
<libv>
and this is what might randomly kill a benchmark?
<mnemoc>
test :)
<hansg>
yep, as said better edit arch/arm/mach-sun4i/core.c and remove the CLOCK_EVT_FEAT_ONESHOT, the code for that is pretty fscked up (writes to the counter register, then tells the timer to do a reload from the reload-register, so the passed in value gets ignored). And it does not stop the timer before doing this as it should ...
<libv>
at 1.2GHz, whereas the thing is stable at 1152MHz?
<libv>
unstable as in: hitting random assertions and segfaults
<hansg>
libv, no, just trying to safe you from a possible cause of hangs. I've seen mysterious A10 (not s) hangs which could be explained by this too. Either way, the code is broken, and NO_HZ triggers its usage
<hansg>
libv, iow this is unrelated from your overclock problem, but still something worth working around before your fosdem demo :)
<jinzo>
Regarding various ARM SoC's and performance, a year and a half ago I worked for a company and we used the IGEP platform (the DM38xx SoC from TI) for some "server" work. We benchmarked and tweaked the ass out of that board
<jinzo>
and yes, the relatively low amount of RAM kills you once the device can't write fast enough to the SDCard
<jinzo>
even with top-of-the-cream Class 10 SDCards, the performance is sucky and rarely reliable (at least when you push them)
<Gumboot>
_jm: This guy's in someplace near Hong Kong which isn't Shenzhen; but I know someone going from Beijing to Shenzhen soonish, so maybe they'll do a mercy run.
<jinzo>
I really have to get something with eMMC to see how it pans out
<hansg>
Just import some old amsterdam :)
<hansg>
jinzo, isn't eMMC just an sdcard without the casing ? IOW won't it suck just as hard ?
<Gumboot>
guangzhou, I think.
<jinzo>
nope, it has advertised "up to 2x the performance of Class 10 SD Cards"
<jinzo>
I don't expect miracles, but I would like to see how much claims like that actually hold water.
<_jm>
Gumboot: DHL it :)
<Gumboot>
That'll baffle them on two levels!
<hansg>
The problem is cheese needs to be transported cooled, and also importing foods likely needs to meet some extra rules, so it likely won't get past customs
<_jm>
hansg: LeFromagerdepekin is in Beijing, so at least the customs won't be a problem.
<hansg>
true
<Gumboot>
I think regulation (or at least obedience) is pretty lax in China anyway.

<hramrach>
jinzo: at least on A10 the speed of SD is limited to just below 10MB/s it seems
<hramrach>
by the mmc controller
<oliv3r>
jinzo: Class 10 doesn't mean fast random access, class 10 only 'guarantees' fast performance in certain situations (writing sequential video usually)
<hramrach>
so no matter hopw fast the card you do not get any more out of it
<hramrach>
class6 and U1 perform the same
<jinzo>
I wouldn't say they perform the same, we saw major performance differences in between the classes and manufacturers etc...
<hramrach>
well, the U1 is supposedly faster for writing and random i/o
<hramrach>
but not by much in practice with such mmc controller
<hramrach>
I did not do any real thoutgh benchmarks
<jinzo>
hramrach, I am more aiming at Exynos based products that frequenr eMMC (didn't see that much eMMC on the Allwinners SoC)
<hramrach>
yes, eMMC or faster controller coud be better
<hramrach>
also cards evolve
<hramrach>
the U1 spec cards also state iops rating
<hramrach>
something you would not see on a SD card a year ago
<hramrach>
and was abysmal on most
<hramrach>
but with A10 the single core severely limits what you can do to the card
<jinzo>
yes I know that the resoults/experiance is old, but just wanted to share a bit. Hopefully stuff got a lot better, because in that time it was really limited use (and not even that chip)
<hramrach>
with A10 the limit is the SoC
<hramrach>
the cards can do better than the chip
valhalla has joined #arm-netbook
<jammi>
some multi-core arm's with enough ram (basically 64bit required) might make even pretty nice servers
<hramrach>
it depends on the server purpose
<jinzo>
that's good to hear, but I would bet it's still quite hard to source a quality SD Card consistently.
<hramrach>
an A10 would make nice server for some uses
<jammi>
well, an A10 might be a replacement for a 15 years old server
<jinzo>
with all the GPU/VPU overhead, not imo.
<buZz>
or a 1 week old raspi
<buZz>
:P
<jammi>
or something requiring what an average server provided back then
<jinzo>
jammi, debatable.
<hramrach>
jinzo: if they have IOPS rating they at least try to answer the question how the card will perform
<jinzo>
but that's far from what you can trust in a production run :D
<jinzo>
if I would trust everything that the vendors say, just to sell their products... :D
<jammi>
jinzo: you'll need several servers anyway if you want some actual redundancy
<hramrach>
you can benchamrk them on something that actually can reach those speeds on mmc controller
<hramrach>
neither an A10 nor an USB reader comes anywhere close so I can't say anthing about validity of their claims
<oliv3r>
shipping will be more expensive then the cheese in any case
<hramrach>
likely
<oliv3r>
Get some cheep (aldi) vaccum seeled cheese and ship it 'express'
<oliv3r>
or ask someone from a proper cheese country to do it for you. expect to pay around 50E for 2kg of cheese I guess
<hramrach>
that's why finding local reseller is way better
<oliv3r>
Keeping it cool, not so sure, specially this time of the year. It's not cooled where it's sold anyway. And 'best before'-date, non-issue, cheese sits on shelves aging for months. Really good cheese is usually 2+ years old :)
<oliv3r>
yeah but our 'cheap crappy' cheese may still be miles better then expensive local cheese :)

I don't want to know the shipping costs for a loaf of cheese
rz2k has joined #arm-netbook

so import probably happens in containers by ship

just a little more dense than water, on average

Hmm, HMM, I've found why A10 sun4i users have not been hitting the NO_HZ issue, the sun4i core code declares timer0 (the code for which is seriously bugged in periodic mode) as a timer with a priority of 100, where as the sun5i decleares it with a prio of 300

So sun4i is using timer1 in NO_HZ mode and sun5i timer0

hmm, maybe only exynos5 has
<slapin>
mnemoc: is there any original mk802 or mk802ii with working USB gadget?
<hramrach>
exynos 4210 is supposed to have 2 sata channels
<mnemoc>
slapin: i assume usb gadget works on 3.0/android
<mnemoc>
slapin: i haven't tested it. and don't have any hdmi dongle :|
<slapin>
mnemoc: I mean stock firmware, I can attach keyboard over converter, but no USB device, and no android debugging
<mnemoc>
no clue, sorry
<TestModule>
slapin, the default 1gb mk802 can host devices over the lapdock over the otg
* slapin
tries to make ad-hoc children-entertainment device to be able to do some hacking without interrupt storm
<TestModule>
but only one at a time so you have to remove the kb/trackpad
<slapin>
TestModule: host works, I try to make USB device (gadget) mode work
<TestModule>
Ah
<TestModule>
Isn't that in the kernel configs?
<slapin>
TestModule: host port is ok, OTG port works only in host mode for some reason
<TestModule>
Ahhhh
<TestModule>
I had to do a solder mod originally
<TestModule>
shorting 4->5
<slapin>
USB pins?
<TestModule>
yeh
<slapin>
weird...
<TestModule>
flipped the back portion up with a knife, then stuck a super small bit of tin-foil between, then solder
<slapin>
ID to GND? strange
<TestModule>
oh wait, possibly flip that
<TestModule>
the ones on the far left
<slapin>
The type of the plug inserted was detected by the state of the pin ID (the mini-A plug has the ID pin grounded while the ID in the mini-B plug was floating).
<slapin>
hmmmm
<slapin>
ID to gnd = host, ID = floating = device, so ID to GND means it goes to host mode (and it already works like that).
<TestModule>
No idea why, it didn't make sense to me, but it was posted as a fix.

Jef, they get it under XBMC didn't they?
<Jef91>
techn_: which players have the best support for this decoder?
<techn_>
Jef91: currently only ones are vlc and xbmc
gimli has joined #arm-netbook
<techn_>
no one has implemented support below generic api
<Jef91>
kk techn_ I'll take a stab at compiling VLC with support for it then
* mnemoc
still hopes someone will start writting the libva plugin

Hi all. Could anybody explain, why I getting this in my custom android fw for A10:
<Xlab>
E/gralloc ( 80): UMP open failed
<Xlab>
E/FramebufferNativeWindow( 80): couldn't open gralloc HAL (Operation not permitted)
<Xlab>
E/FramebufferNativeWindow( 80): couldn't open framebuffer HAL (Operation not permitted)

Kernel modules for mali are r2p4 and all the libraries libMali, libUMP, libEGL, libGL* have been taken from the original rom (they're r2p4 too).
<Xlab>
I give up :(
<Jef91>
Has anyone played around with formatting the nand in the MK802 and installing Linux to it isntead of Android?
<GeorgeIoak>
i'm just using a resistive screen with the sun4i_ts module
hark has joined #arm-netbook
<GeorgeIoak>
without a conf file in xorg.confd everything works except the touchscreen, if i make a 20-ts.conf file then i loose keyboard, mouse, and touch still doesn't work
<GeorgeIoak>
hmmm, i don't think 4-wire touch can send multi-touch
<GeorgeIoak>
do you have any hints how i can debug the touch in xorg? since ts_calibrate works it seems like i am close?
<Xlab>
nope :(
<specing>
4 wire as in ... SPI?
<xenoxaos>
4 wire as in resistive?

4 wire as in resistive so it directly connects to the A10

Does the BSP disable / remove android-only features from the kernel configs when a non-android kernel is being compiled from the sun**_defconfig ?
<mnemoc>
different defconfig is used for android and not-android
<TestModule>
awesome, thanks

so succesfully restored original linux.ini, replaced u-boot with lychee-dev sun4i
<hramrach>
now it complains there is no boot partition
