Ok how do I get actual hardware OpenGL(ES) of some flavor on the N2? I see panfrost is loaded
<[TheBug]>
not sure I am understanding y our question
<[TheBug]>
if the grphical drivers are installed and working then opengl should be exposed
<[TheBug]>
so your questions seems a bit odd
<archetech>
xperia64: pfrost will fault es2 or plain gl

<xperia64>
The N2 seems to be defaulting to llvmpipe
<xperia64>
Under glxinfo at least
<TRS-80>
I am not sure if people who have N2 are here right now.
<xperia64>
Honestly I'm not sure if panfrost is what I need at the moment, might try something with the binary driver :P

но это было немного позже уже, я уже осознал свой интерес к опенсорсу и фрюниксам.

<Tony_mac32>
So I've been using another machine for building Armbian instead of my gaming computer/main machine, then I remembered: I have 64 GB RAM
<xperia64>
I tried the etc environment, but glxinfo still claims llvmpipe

<TRS-80>
Tony_mac32: You do? wtf
<archetech>
ya need a patched kernel and mesa-git
<Tony_mac32>
TRS-80, there were empty slots. I couldn't take it *OCD intensifies*
<TRS-80>
Like real RAM? Or like an NVMe mounted as zram?
<archetech>
for panfrost to begin to work for where its at dev wise
<Tony_mac32>
I have an i7-6800k with quad-channel ram
<Tony_mac32>
so I put 8 8 GB sticks in it
<TRS-80>
I thought I was only one with server type motherboard for workstation. Or are gayming / enthusiast bords supporting that much RAM these days?
<Tony_mac32>
well I mostly play Planetside 2, which is basically a crapily written CAD software
<nekomancer[m]>
hope ECC?
<TRS-80>
nekomancer[m]: In my case yes

Tony_mac32: Well I use Firefox
* Tony_mac32
is not in the 1%, nekomancer[m] and cant afford that bourgeois shit
<Tony_mac32>
XD
<TRS-80>
It's not much more than regular RAM, really, is it?
<Tony_mac32>
It's been a while since I bought it, I don't even remember
<TRS-80>
I found a good deal on these sticks on eBay, I lucked out. They were New In box, guy claimed they were bought for customer/job and never used.
<Tony_mac32>
nice
<TRS-80>
yeap
<TRS-80>
OK, dinner / family time
<TRS-80>
cheers
<nekomancer[m]>
ecc problem now not ram itself. the problem is ecc unsupported by not-server motherboards and processors.
<Tony_mac32>
right, and this is not a server processor
<Tony_mac32>
it's about 80% a server processor
<Tony_mac32>
ECC being part of the reason it's not 100%

hi folks I'm trying to fix this poorly amlogic tv box
<driver42>
I can get it to boot up using coreelec on a SD card but normally it won't boot.....is there a script or image can use to get an armbian setup going?
<Werner>
Try tv boxes club and start digging there. I think nobody here deals with tv boxes actually

<Werner>
You can ask in forums if somebody would take it in exchange for some bucks for shipping and handling
<Werner>
nobody deals with rpis so no idea. opi devices are pretty decently supported except the H616 which is fairly new SoC
<Werner>
odroid are more powerful but also more expensive. at the bottomline it all depends on your needs
<Werner>
want a cheap sbc that serves pihole at your home go for OrangePi One which are about 15 bucks including shipping. want a powerful NAS go for helios64

tanks for the feedback folks...found Orange Pi Zero 2 1GB on Ali for less than €20 delivered so think I'll have w play with one of them....RK3399 looks cool but devices still quite expensive which surprises me cos it's been out for ages now...
<Werner>
OPi zero 2 is a bad idea atm....
<driver42>
will stop buying raspberry pis if they are not open source and wait for a risc-v board to replace my desktop methinks lol
<driver42>
why is zero 2 bad? not supported?
<Werner>
As mentioned earlier H616 support is experimental at most
<stipa>
driver42: it's new, devs are working on it
<Xogium>
afternoon folks
<IgorPec>
one year to get zero2 usable, 5 to get risv-v boards usable
<Werner>
fun fact. I laughed as I heard it will take a year or more to get h6 stable....well today I know Igor was right...
<driver42>
ok I found a Orange Pi One Plus for less than €21 and a Orange Pi 4 4GB for €52.17........blimey 1 year to get zero2 usable, wow!
<Werner>
OPi1+ is decent. Have one myself. running headless most of the time
<IgorPec>
new hardware is for developers
<IgorPec>
not for users
<IgorPec>
if you want to use things without much hassle, H3 / H5 also H6 is gettin there
<Xogium>
risc-v sounds nice

why?

No risc no fun :P

No risk no fun :) "Risk is a strategy board game of diplomacy, conflict and conquest[1] for two to six players."

what you guys think about the picorio board ?

and no resources to deal with them. that's the first problem

IgorPec, I just tested Armbian 20.11.3 Focal with Linux 5.9.10-meson64 odroidc2: HDMI sound OK, usb-stick detected, minor quirk: kbd selected wrongly on 1st boot
<IgorPec>
great!!
<IgorPec>
what's wrong with kbd?
<HerculeP>
kbd issue easy to fix via armbian-config :D
<IgorPec>
understand, but what happens? that we can fix
<HerculeP>
kbd was selected as (us,DE)
<IgorPec>
us is default, but de should be just added
<IgorPec>
its added as DE but it should be de ?
<HerculeP>
although I selected 1. DE_de
<HerculeP>
worked better before on 5.4 IIRC
<IgorPec>
there were complains in the previos versions after changing ... so now we don't change the keyboard but only add
<HerculeP>
not a big deal, just reporting
<IgorPec>
sure, tnx
<HerculeP>

<HerculeP>
TZ etc detect was ok

I will repeat /w the buster DT img tomorrow, too lazy today ;)
<Werner>
lol did not catch that until you mentioned
<fromport>
what would make sense? >= 2GB ram ?
<Tonymac32>
fromport that isn't the issue
<Tonymac32>
u-boot between them will be different
<Tonymac32>
and they share the same name
<fromport>
ahh.
<fromport>
yeah, that will be tough
<Tonymac32>
They don't show a different image in their listing though
* Tonymac32
squints at it and wonders
<Tonymac32>
well, except they have an armbian nanopi M4 image and a NanoPc T4 image under Armbian.
* Tonymac32
squints harder
<Tonymac32>
I don't like it
<Xogium>
heh, something I just thought of, for fun… would it be legal to sell boards that run armbian ?
<Tonymac32>
? like with it pre-flashed?
<Xogium>
yea
<Tonymac32>
it's open source, so why not?
<Xogium>
well sometimes you have these things where you can't actually sell, but its free for your own usage
<Werner>
So basically there is no choice but to create two board configs. R4S-1G and R4S-4G
<Xogium>
ran into this with the mbrola project… the software itself has finally been opened, but the voices you have no right to sell
<Tonymac32>
it looks that way unless they have dark u-boot magic
<Xogium>
needless to say, mbrola without voices is hmm… not so useful
<Werner>
I'd simply do that because merging later is easy I guess
<Tonymac32>
eh maybe. I'd almost be *that guy* and only support the big one
<Xogium>
so we wanted to sell our hardware with software pre-flashed. We can do that with the version that only has espeak, but if people want to switch to the mbrola version they'll have to do it themselves, since we have the right to sell
<Xogium>
*haven't, rather
<Tonymac32>
gotcha
<Xogium>
you can distribute but not sell… Yeah, at least that
<Xogium>
or, tehcnically, we could get the right to sell if we send an email to every person who ever gave their voice to the mbrola project, and they agreed
<Xogium>
much easier to go the no selling route
<Tonymac32>
yeah so the property is around the voices
<Tonymac32>
makes sense
<Xogium>
yep
<Xogium>
and since mbrola is at least 20 years old, the info on each person might be totally outdated lol. Heck some of them might even be dead
<Xogium>
the source code was finally opened last year iirc, or the year before. Took a long while, in any case… And it was more than about time they did it lol
<Xogium>
mbrola had started breaking on every platform they ever made a binary for
<Xogium>
like segfaulting at every word or sentence it said
<Xogium>
I, hum, actually ended up with 8 gb of *compressed* core dumps
<Xogium>
lucky for us, all it needs is a rebuild against more recent libs and with a more recent gcc and everything works
<Werner>
retry until it uses a different mirror. UK seems buggy
<Werner>
or not fully synced yet
<Werner>
or both :D
<Tonymac32>
Were the servers provided by Lucas Electric?
<Xogium>
I don't know if they want new voices. I think the project is sort of dead, and noone resumed
<Xogium>
but they did make the tool to create new voices from available also, but this is a really huge amount of work to provide all the phonemes and samples required in the exact format the tool is expecting
<Xogium>
yeah and sounds like there's barely any doc to explain the file formats
<Tonymac32>
raw 16 bit WAV looks like. now the naming for the things looks like a trip

HerculeP: Were you same guy who came in here several days (week? more?) ago about HDMI audio not working?
<TRS-80>
Xogium: Armbian build scripts are GPL: https://github.com/armbian/build/blob/master/LICENSE However there is ton of other software used like Linux kernel (also GPL) but many, many others, too... Having said that, not sure if that was more of theory or real question, if the latter I don't know if you could make enough to cover all your time doing support but you are welcome to have a go at it of
<TRS-80>
course. ;)
<Xogium>
it was mostly theory
<Xogium>
and because I was honestly curious
<TRS-80>
Then in that case it depends on licenses, the ones I would likely be most concerned with would be the blob ones from manufacturers but who knows, there could be something I am overlooking.
<IgorPec>
TRS-80: HerculeP helps us with testings.
<TRS-80>
IgorPec: OK, thanks. Someone had come in here while back saying audio was broken on HDMI but that could have been a different board, person... sorry don't remember specifics...
<IgorPec>
yeah, we had this C2 works, doesn't work, works again, ...
<IgorPec>
but now we are in "it works" position :)

Tonymac32: Maybe add some comments while you are at it (refactoring). ;)
<Tonymac32>
TRS-80 why would I bother refactoring if I wasn't going to? :D
<Tonymac32>
patch naming is the wild west at the moment XD
<TRS-80>
I dunno, it just seems like the little bit of Armbian code I have tried to study, I did not get very far because there were no comments whatsoever.
<Tonymac32>
there is that too
<TRS-80>
But I probably need to study some more. Anyway that was in general, only directed at you because you mentioned you will be working on it, not as any sort of indictment. lol
<Tonymac32>
lol well the patches for any given board are hard to track down/make sense of, so I'm working through all the "zzzz"s and fixing whatever they break when I put them where they belong in the nameology
<TRS-80>
I heard someone refer to strong "document culture" in Emacs and I think that's true (Emacs itself being called "self-documenting" text editor) which I think is quite true and something I just have become used to.
<TRS-80>
But if we are going to be a "community" project, with any hope of more people helping to maintain code, I think we might need to try and improve in this regard. Just a thought.
<TRS-80>
"documentation culture" rather
<Tonymac32>
I agree, otherwise I wouldn't worry about the patch naming scheme XD
<TRS-80>
yeah, you just brought it up, I wasn't pointing finger at you specifcally
<TRS-80>
just something in general been bothering me / thinking about
* Tonymac32
won't voice his agreement with TRS-80 ever again XD
<TRS-80>
I decided to mention it for benefit of others in channel
<Tonymac32>
and I agreed for the same reason :P
<Tonymac32>
I need to dig in and look at the script itself a bit, like how to avoid having the script config file under a folder called "userpatches"
<Tonymac32>
probably step it to /build/user, then patches under that
<Tonymac32>
we're missing lanefu

I see Oleg put some tweaks to the rk3328 dtsi in his addition of the Firefly Station boards... I didn't test anything to see if that broke anything
