03:05 <lanefu> Oh sweet!... It looks like gpiod has PULL_UP and PULL_DOWN support now... which means.. libgpiod is actually now useful!

05:26 <Werner> Good morning

05:29 <IgorPec> good morning

05:51 <Werner> help irc

05:51 <ArmbianHelper> You want some? There you go: Terrific knowledge about our IRC services! https://docs.armbian.com/Community_IRC/

05:51 <Werner> help

05:51 <ArmbianHelper> Check out our awesome documentation! It's tremendous, promise! https://docs.armbian.com/

05:52 <Werner> Regex for both is ^help$ and ^help irc$ so there should not occur many (or any) false catches.

06:14 <plntyk> why not make it like other irc-bot commands - !help !rules - those are common on irc chatbots https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IRC_bot

06:14 <plntyk> !help sourcecode

06:14 <plntyk> etc

06:15 <Werner> Sure. Possible too.

14:45 <willmore> Good that it doesn't pick up help in the middle of sentences or even words like whelp.

14:45 <willmore> I had a friend who hated the orly (Oh, really?) abbreviation, so he put a regex to kick anyone using it. Well, that was all good and fine until my brother in law flew to France and landed in Orly....

15:22 <ram_> any body tried armbian on A95X F3 AIR box?

15:24 <chewitt> ram_ no, but I have a mostly-working device-tree in my kernel branch

15:24 <chewitt> https://github.com/chewitt/linux/commit/735b152d908bfa3bfbd4363b2192bf27906ad9d9

15:24 <chewitt> no wifi and ethernet is forced to 100-BaseT or it doesn't work

15:25 <ram_> is it meson-sm1-sei610-ethfix.dtb

15:26 <chewitt> in my branch it's meson-sm1-a95xf3-air.dtb

15:26 <chewitt> i've no idea what sei610-ethfix is

15:26 <chewitt> would be interested to see tho

15:26 <ram_> can you pls share dtb link

15:27 <chewitt> it will be in here https://chewitt.libreelec.tv/testing/9.80/LibreELEC-AMLG12.arm-9.80.0-box.img.gz

15:27 <chewitt> I don't have the dtb only kicking around

15:28 <chewitt> that's also an image for 5.7 kernel although it will probably be fine on 5.6 too

15:28 <ram_> ok thx i will give try now i am running on k3 pro

15:28 <chewitt> k3 pro is an S912 device IIRC

15:29 <ram_> rt i have got

15:29 <ram_> both boxes

15:30 <chewitt> ahh.. that dtb is configured for rgmii-id ethernet so requires 5.7 + some 5.8 patches

15:30 <chewitt> you'll need to compile your own kernel from https://github.com/chewitt/linux/commits/amlogic

15:31 <ram_> k3 pro i have no issues works fine

15:31 <ram_> will try ur dtb on F3 air4

15:31 <chewitt> ethernet will not be recognised on 5.6 or plain 5.7 kernel

15:32 <ram_> having said that k3 pro internal wifi didnt work so using a

15:32 <ram_> wifi usb adapter

15:34 <chewitt> what chip is in the K3 pro?

15:34 <[TheBug]> ram_: if you get the box working correctly and you have some time would you go on the forum and document how you got that TV box working -- it will help others who search for the same answers :)

15:35 <[TheBug]> chewitt: do you do work for any other TV boxes?

15:35 <ram_> k3 pro has amlogc s912

15:36 <ram_> i some time p

15:36 <ram_> play with enigma

15:36 <ram_> boxes

15:36 <chewitt> I work on whatever I get my hands on, or whenever the other person has half a clue and can follow instructions

15:36 <[TheBug]> chewitt: I am currently compiling a list of people who are interested in participating in Armbian TV Box support discussions, if you have any interest in helping support or some idea on how that can be done, let me know and I am happy to invite you -- you can pm me your forum nick or your e-mail if you like

15:36 <ram_> sorry have bad key board hw

15:36 <ram_> here

15:37 <chewitt> I don't have A95X-F3 or X96-air but they appear to be working okay .. or with the same common faults

15:37 <ram_> sure

15:38 <chewitt> [TheBug] I have no direct interest in working on Armbian, but there is large overlap with LibreELEC (which I work on) so happy to participate

15:38 <chewitt> Oleg (balbes150) has been using my kernels to push Armbian on TV boxes for a while

15:39 <chewitt> we're all chasing the same kernel bits

15:39 <chewitt> I'm 'chewitt' on the Armbian forum

15:40 <[TheBug]> chewitt: yes balbes150 and a bunch of others are also participating -- the conversation is more so what the long term support of Armbian for TV boxes will look like, if Armbian will take a vested interest in keeping things up to date, etc. We are in need of both input on how that can be done as well as people who have some time to vounteer and help with those processes -- if you do think

15:40 <[TheBug]> any of that would interest you, would be great to have your input.

15:42 <chewitt> I'm already maintaining TV boxes so happy to share my experiences of what works, what to avoid

15:42 <chewitt> not sure I can volunteer for anything .. one distro is enough :)

15:42 <[TheBug]> Okay, in the next few days I will send you a message on the forum :) I am currenly finalizing a few things and we will likely have a private forum thread for this discussion which I will invite you to

15:42 <ram_> YOU guys are doing grate work. i will share my results with you

15:42 <chewitt> but being good neighbours with Armbian would be great

15:43 <ram_> laterally one can get experience of computer on such compact small boxes

15:44 <[TheBug]> ram_: sure just make a forum post and outline your steps to make your box work and include links to any resource you may need -- this will allow others to easily search forum for same thing

15:45 <ram_> @Thebug ok let me give try tonight

15:46 <ram_> on A95X F3

16:11 <ArmbianTwitter> @TonyMac_32 (Thomas McKahan): @A13_technology @armbian Works with my Linux PC no problem. https://t.co/VnlvVhOXH8 (26s ago)

16:14 <ArmbianTwitter> @TonyMac_32 (Thomas McKahan): @A13_technology @armbian I had it scaled down from 1080p to fit on my screen since my 4k monitor is attached to the PC that tried to turn itself into a pile of ashes... (11s ago)

16:15 <chewitt> ahh, reading an Armbian forum thread, the ethfix dtb is with 100Mb speed forced, so not a 'fix' and no further in the investigation than I got :)

16:16 <chewitt> there's some juju needed in the driver to fix this I think

16:16 <chewitt> Martin B was looking at the bsp sources to see what might be missing

22:59 <ArmbianTwitter> @A13_technology (∆13🏳️‍🌈): @TonyMac_32 @armbian Wow that was fast. Where did you ordered ? (18s ago)

23:12 <ArmbianTwitter> @TonyMac_32 (Thomas McKahan): @A13_technology @armbian eBay, I was surprised to get them already... (30s ago)
