<R0b0t1>
anyone have leads on how I can increase i2c bus speed?

<R0b0t1>
ok, revised question: if I compile a kernel how do I modify the dts?
<plntyk>
add a patch file in patch/kernel/<architecture> of armbian build system that changes the dts
<R0b0t1>
`find arch/arm/boot/ -name '*sun8i-h*dtb'` produces a lot of candidates
<R0b0t1>
ah no I missed something about the build process, there is an exact dtb in my /boot
<R0b0t1>
hm
<plntyk>
./patch/kernel/sunxi-current/board-h2plus-nanopi-duo-add-device.patch in armbian buildsystem adds that functionality because there is no mainline support yet it seem
<plntyk>
or not for armbian-current variant
<R0b0t1>
ah thanks appreciate it
<R0b0t1>
ok this is probably the time I need to actually build armbian for real
<R0b0t1>
alright I made a lot of progress
<R0b0t1>
but I can't actually figure out where the clock prescaler or w/e is set
<R0b0t1>
hmm
<Werner>
Good morning

R0b0t1: according to https://linux-sunxi.org/Linux_mainlining_effort I2C for H3 (which should be compatible to h2plus in nanopi du) was done in 4.9 so look for patches/changelog in that kernel to find where in the source this was done or sth should be in documentation of dtb / i2c subsystem

@VeryMetal_dev (Henri ⌨️🖥️👨🔧🖋️✏️😷): @chriseppstein Just fixed the sound of my Orange Pi 3 with a generic external USB soundcard and listening radio via Bluetooth because of USB Bluetooth adapter. Gotta avoid getting caught up in config files any way possible. So yeah, the zone! Orange Pi 3 / Armbian configuration. (16s ago)

<R0b0t1>
where is the check for bionic?
<R0b0t1>
I'd like to comment it out, I keep the pieces etc
<plntyk>
hopefully the images on dl.armbian.com will work after that
<R0b0t1>
ok... that's not working
<Werner>
./compile.sh NO_HOST_RELEASE_CHECK=yes should work
<R0b0t1>
Werner: I'm on ubuntu cosmic (18.10) and the build aborts with invalid distro
<R0b0t1>
ah
<R0b0t1>
I mean, 18.10 vs 18.04 figuring it should work, if not I'll try docker
<R0b0t1>
can't upgrade atm
<Werner>
Just try but do not report any issues that may occur using this parameter ;)
<R0b0t1>
yeah, wasn't gonna waste anyone's time with that
<R0b0t1>
granted, I do use Gentoo most of the time, and find keeping everything super recent tends to reduce issues
<R0b0t1>
it's just the cross toolchains are kinda broken (I think the project does arm builds on some servers for sbc stuff)
<R0b0t1>
I don't have the time to fix the crosschain or wait for the builds, so...
<IgorPec>
plntyk: i will remade images for c1 along with c4 which i just fixed some critical issues. tnx
<R0b0t1>
ok build system is kinda nice

<R0b0t1>
if there were a way to avoid packaging the compilers and relying on upstream there would be no reason to tie to a distro release
<R0b0t1>
am working through some errors, seems only real one is a libc++ issue, aside from some packages not being installed (but being otherwise available)
<R0b0t1>
think I'll move to docker
Tenkawa has left #armbian [#armbian]
<IgorPec>
i am compiling on linux mint and debian buster, natively
<IgorPec>
but some proper inspection should be done to declare all as official.
<IgorPec>
other distros are mainly problematic for their default packaging manager - more (un-needed) changes
<R0b0t1>
yeah I think sticking to a single pm is fine
<R0b0t1>
I like apt the best fwiw

I drop it into patch/kernel/sunxi-current/board-nanopi-duo-i2c-speed.patch
<R0b0t1>
but it fails to apply
<R0b0t1>
any way to get better output? I'm using docker, so everything is in the docker image
<R0b0t1>
I got it using git diff from a vanilla tree of a similar branch
<R0b0t1>
I find a similar file in ./cache/sources/linux-mainline/orange-pi-5.4/arch/arm/boot/dts/sunxi-h3-h5.dtsi
<lanefu>
R0b0t1: output/debug/*.log
<R0b0t1>

trying to bust into the docker container, not seeing it
<R0b0t1>
ok I inspected the docker volume but am not having any better luck generating a patch that applies
<R0b0t1>
the rej is just the contents of the failed patch file
<plntyk>
just check out the kernel that armbian on that board uses and try to patch it
<plntyk>
and then copy that patch file since it will work
<R0b0t1>
the patch isn't against any source code just a dts, but yeah I'll try to grab the orangepi kernel armbian is using
<lanefu>
where'd the patch come from
<lanefu>
and what kernel is it made for
<lanefu>
oh if i scroll up i can see yuo already said that
<R0b0t1>
lanefu: I made the patch myself
<R0b0t1>
it's made for any kernel, but specifically the one for my nanopi duo
<lanefu>
megous's branch usually has a lot of the sunxi stuff that isnt accepted in mainline yet, so we start from there
<plntyk>
having clones of mainline, stable, next, vendor branches and hacking/dev forks
<lanefu>
sunxi is kind of an exception because hte project is so much.... like with amlogic i think we just patch dirtectly onto mainline
<lanefu>
it's always a bit of a rats nest, but armbian gets more normalized with every release... but reality is a lot of these SBCs need extra care and feeding... which is why armbian exists
<plntyk>
yeah with openwrt you have basically a stable checkout and then a huge number of numbered patches for generic and specific subarches/targets
<lanefu>
yeah glancing around. it looks like sunxi is the main exception to us not using vanilla mainline
<plntyk>
shitty github ... clicking 2 times and "You have triggered an abuse detection mechanism"

nekomancer[m]: what IRC client do you use?
<lanefu>
your text always has like 21st century enhancements
<plntyk>
browsing linux clone on github is impossible anyway because the dts folder has too many files iirc
<R0b0t1>
lanefu: matrix
<R0b0t1>
he's a normie, can't see the desert of the real
<R0b0t1>
lanefu: yeah I'm messing with armbian because it seems to have the best and most comprehensive support
<R0b0t1>
it's just this ONE i2c issue
<R0b0t1>
saldkjfalskjf
<plntyk>
"Sorry we had to truncate this directory to 1,000 files"
<plntyk>
almost 2000 dts files
<nekomancer[m]>
<lanefu "nekomancer: what IRC client do y"> I use matrix client and matrix bridge. Why you ask?
<lanefu>
cuz your stuff looks like this
<lanefu>
<lanefu "nekomancer: what IRC client do y"> I use matrix client and matrix bridge. Why you ask?
<nekomancer[m]>
Sorry :(((
<lanefu>
lol
<lanefu>
its alright
<lanefu>
i mean i use slack all day long for other stuff
<lanefu>
just have CLI purity with screen and weechat adn armbian irc
<lanefu>
R0b0t1: so i thikn there's a seperate command line tool thats part of the patch suite, to fix line numbers..... i used it a few months ago, but i'd have to google all over again
<R0b0t1>
can you think of maybe one or two crucial words
<lanefu>
apparently not cuz my google is failing lol
<R0b0t1>
my shitty keyboard depends on you, lanefu
<R0b0t1>
Noooooooooooooo~
<plntyk>
lanefu, dunno maybe you mean "quilt" ?
<lanefu>
rediff
<lanefu>
bash_history for the win
<R0b0t1>
wow even if I editdiff rediff just fails
<R0b0t1>
no error
<R0b0t1>
ahh ok
<R0b0t1>
sigh
<R0b0t1>
editdiff works, but then it fails
<IgorPec>
R0b0t1: did you try ./compile.sh CREATE_PATCHES="yes"
<R0b0t1>
no, what are the preconditions for that
<R0b0t1>
my linux source is somewhere else entirely
<R0b0t1>
ahh ok
<R0b0t1>
trying to find location in docker volume, that is a good feature
<IgorPec>
docker is not most appropriate tool for development
<IgorPec>
its more for building an image with small changes
<R0b0t1>
unfortunately is only way I can run it atm
<IgorPec>
this is worth studing if you plan to dig deeper

niceee
<R0b0t1>
yeah i2c stuff I'm doing is now 10x as fast
<R0b0t1>
great
<IgorPec>
now you can contribute :)
<IgorPec>
somebody will be happy
<R0b0t1>
well, 1mhz base speed is probably not a sane default, and considering it is in device tree...
<R0b0t1>
the gadgetfs config maybe
<IgorPec>
i don't know how those defaults are set, huh. but you can prepare a MR and lets see what people will say about
<nekomancer[m]>
R0b0t1: how do you find final files to change?
<R0b0t1>
I found a dts for my board in the armbian repos
<R0b0t1>
and tracked through the includes until I found the i2c device definition
<R0b0t1>
someone (maybe not here?) found a patch that indicated I could add clock-frequency, it was missing, default is 100kHz
<R0b0t1>
I wasn't sure if I could just add it b/c sometimes you have to directly write a register or something
<R0b0t1>
no no that was definitely here
<nekomancer[m]>
but how about final version of kernel souces used by general build script?
<nekomancer[m]>
how do you see what of many possible kernel sources it uses in your case?
