Tonymac32: okay i just totally overhauled my desk... which stuff would be helpful for me to test... potato? n2? rock64?
<lanefu>
i have 2 ethernet ports and a 8 port switch in my office and I'm still out of ports
<lanefu>
i may start demoting 100mbit devices to wifi
<lanefu>
anyway i havent been tracking.. is there a branch i need to build from? or just like master, dev kernel?
<Tonymac32>
hmmmm, I think there is a PR for the 5.6
<Tonymac32>
I'm about to hit go on N2 mainline u-boot, did we mark it "supported" yet, or is it still "WIP so when boot.ini bullshit doesn't work it's ok?
<lanefu>
IMHO it was still WIP... once 4K works then i'd say its legit
<lanefu>
i need to test latest on that too

<Tonymac32>
do we really need to keep that Hardkernel 4.9? Might as well I guess...
<Tonymac32>
hmmm, in meson64_common.inc I don't think the u-boot target map even matters, uboot lives on the SPI and we don't touch it
<Tonymac32>
also lanefu: with Neil having added his fips repo to the build system, we can move these boards away from the "odroid-c2blobs" repo if we like.
<lanefu>
fips? i know that as a fips authentiation standard
<Tonymac32>
haha it's the blob directors on Amlogic
<lanefu>
Tonymac32: In case you don't know the trick for checkout out PRs locally
<lanefu>
and if you use origin as your armbian repo that works too.. just change REMOTE_REPO to origin
<lanefu>
remove the y from `mergey` lol paste fail
<Tonymac32>
I was going to ask. :P
<lanefu>
had to hit control-y to say yes to spam channel
<Tonymac32>
my git skills are still weak, I went from a microcontroller programmer / flat memory model ASM programmer (read, no version controls, for better or worse) to Linux SBC hobbyist in 1 jump, so...
<lanefu>
yeah i just made taht script and threw it in my userpatches folder
<lanefu>
so i can call it
<lanefu>
i should probably just fetch the 1 PR :P

I picked up a "non-Armbian" type of board to check out, I've been debating (for well, forever now) spinning off a minimal Armbian for the more microcontroller oriented boards, like the DUO, the Atmel boards, etc.
<lanefu>
Tonymac32: you could go on the wall for treason
<Tonymac32>
nahhhhh
<Tonymac32>
:)
<lanefu>
lol
<Tonymac32>
Check out the Giant Board, it's an ATSAMA5
<Tonymac32>
really no use to the typical Armbian user
<Tonymac32>
but right in line with what someone buying a DUO is looking for
<Tonymac32>
yeah, if you've seen those Blackberry keyboard/screen combos, this works with that
<lanefu>
oh yeah i saw one of those recently... pretty neat
<lanefu>
so cortex A-5... armv7... so does that support armhf with teh hard float?
<Tonymac32>
I guess as far as price goes, Pro: it has ADC's/etc built in, con: no wifi
<Tonymac32>
hard float I'm not certain
<Tonymac32>
yeah it does
<lanefu>
then yeah that's a winner for linux binaries then
<Tonymac32>
I have a horrible idea in the back of my mind that will be far too much time, but stick FreeRTOS on it.
<lanefu>
soo interesting you mention that
<lanefu>
so in $dayjob were like AWS partners... and i gotta like blog n stuff for branding etc
<lanefu>
naturally i wannd o fun stuff
<lanefu>
so i was thinking abotu doing a thing with AWS's FreeRTOS and your uhmm i forgot yoru esp32 board that i have lol
<lanefu>
obsideon
<Tonymac32>
haha well that is the IDF's base
<Tonymac32>
I was messing around spawning tasks on the secondary processor in Arduino
<lanefu>
its fnny the ESP32s2 is back to single core.. but way faster..?
<Tonymac32>
sort of
<Tonymac32>
So the ESP32-S2 is the replacement for the ESP32-S
<Tonymac32>
there are a few more parts supposedly in the pipeline, I assume a dual-core extensa-7 is among them
<Tonymac32>
(spelling, not looking it up)
torv has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
* Tonymac32
is a liar and did look it up, xtensa lx7
<Tonymac32>
as far as "faster": In specific situations yes
<Tonymac32>
but, for instance, if you want to do parallel tasks, or not have the WiFi destroy your idea of "real time"
<Tonymac32>
then you're still better off with the ESP32
torv has joined #armbian
<lanefu>
yeah makes sense
<Tonymac32>
I have artwork for an S2 board (two of them actually)
<lanefu>
support your local artist
<Tonymac32>
one of them I'm halfway waiting to see if a dual-core comes out with shared pinout, the other I'm debating battles with regulatory bodies
<Tonymac32>
and time
<Tonymac32>
I have an S2 module, and I have the S2 dev kit that doesn't have functional USB
<Tonymac32>
There is a RISC-V in the S2 you can use as the low-power processor
<lanefu>
whoa thats hella cool

Good morning

good morning

technically it is morning here by 18 minutes
<Werner>
It all depends on what you define as morning ;)

hmmm, on th bright side U-boot loaded the kernel. On the not so bright side it hung, is kernel 5.4 working, or did I make a tactical error?
<Tonymac32>
(N2)
<Tonymac32>
no, I'm running 5.4 on my normal image,

<chewitt>
^ was needed for u-boot, but hasn't been investigated further yet
<chewitt>
all my testing has been done with mainline u-boot not the vendor one
<IgorPec>
mine too and i suspect something like that, but now i am out of the game :) until Hardkernel provides me replacement
<IgorPec>
will this hack affect other boards ?
<IgorPec>
HACK: mmc: core: always re-init sdcards to set default 3.3v regulator
indy has quit [Ping timeout: 260 seconds]
<chewitt>
^ that hack was targeting something on an older GXBB device IIRC
<chewitt>
but the same issue exists on all
<IgorPec>
yeah, its not new
<chewitt>
it's mostly not an issue, but some hardware seems to get stuck and fail
<IgorPec>
with c4 we seems to have those issue, on SD card its almos 10 out of 10 reboots that it stuck
<IgorPec>
at least with the SD card i tried

I'm setting a lime2 with armbian and trying to get DE working. enabling lightdm didn't install Xorg so I did through apt manually. But now lightdm is a plain shell... ?
<IgorPec>
which image?
<IgorPec>
armbian-config -> enable desktop or some other way?
R0b0t1 has joined #armbian
<thomassgn>
I got the image from the lime2 pages on armbian.com. I did armbian-config enable desktop
<IgorPec>
ok, on that image ... desktop should bo up normal way
<buZz>
did you check /var/log/Xorg.* ?
<thomassgn>
yes, I installed X on my own after enabling DE. Will check 2 sec
<IgorPec>
rather start with a "Buster Desktop" image, less troubles
<buZz>
i have no idea what 'lightdm is a plain shell' is supposed to mean
<thomassgn>
IgorPec: allright, I'll retry with the desktop image - didn't notice the option earlier. Thanks.
<thomassgn>
buZz: I meant that when lightdm logged in I was presented with a fullscreen black shell, prompt in the top left corner. I was expecting something else. Idk.
<buZz>
thats not lightdm then ;) check /var/log/Xorg*
<buZz>
KMS can set -any- resolution for your textmode, that doesnt mean its running X
<IgorPec>
also desktop image 1st run will be in text mode
<IgorPec>
only after you login in and create a user, desktop will go up. you need a normal user, under root it will not run
<chewitt>
his repo is largely (originally) downstream from mine
<chewitt>
I have a couple of extra bits in mine I think, but probably not anything Armbian would be interested in
<Tonymac32>
OK. the U-boot portion of this (2020.04) seems to be working fine with the N2, but the kernel (5.4.y) hangs immediately, I need to look around a bit.
<Tonymac32>
probably what I'm passing from one to the other
<Tonymac32>
I was only concerned with the u-boot compiling last night, later I'll figure out where I went wrong
<chewitt>
I don't recall any issues with 5.4 .. but that was some time ago :)
<chewitt>
onwards and upwards!
<Tonymac32>
Well, my image with the old crusty u-boot doesn't either. ;)
<Tonymac32>
So I have a difference in bootargs or something I overlooked

lanefu: old classic h3 lite?
<lanefu>
yeah h3 lite
<IgorPec>
two weeks ago was working ... i am just about to flash all test boards with latest, probably tomorrow
<IgorPec>
and lite is among
<IgorPec>
actually i can try
<IgorPec>
no, sory its one, not lite :(
<IgorPec>
fount it , let me try
<lanefu>
okay it looks like my other job built
<lanefu>
i'll blame cruft in a temp folder... i thought i scrubbed enough lsat time
<IgorPec>
we could start with a .RC0 soon?
<lanefu>
wtf its still failing on my normal git checkout
<IgorPec>
failing to build or boot?
<lanefu>
build
<IgorPec>
i am building normally ... huh
<lanefu>
its failing somehwere on a wireless driver
<IgorPec>
aha, one moment ... 5.4 or 4.19 ?
<lanefu>
..but it just worked on my jenkins run... 5.4
