<hste> jas-hacks_: got the yocto up :) Now I'll going to try to set up a chroot system
<jas-hacks_> hste: Good ... interesting to see if it works. Did you try plain yocto?
<jas-hacks_> hste: Have got video working on 12.04 just need to verify that sound works.
<hste> jas-hacks_: only rootfs
<hste> jas-hacks_: only rootfs with gui
<hste> jas-hacks_: good work
<jas-hacks_> hste: gui is suited to touch screen
<hste> jas-hacks_: I'm thinking of using lightdm from chroot the way easydebian worked on my n900
<GasVesa> less than 50 days: www.iomtt.com
<GasVesa> yarrr!
<GasVesa> oppps
<GasVesa> wrong chat

<GasVesa> i'm a little confused: it's ok to format the ROOTFS partition and then copy the expanded content of 12.04 archive in it?
<GasVesa> i mean this archive: linaro_12_04_gpu.tar.gz
<jas-hacks_> GasVesa: no need to format unless you want too, you can just delete everything on it and untar.
<GasVesa> jas-hacks_, ok, tnx
hste_ has quit [Ping timeout: 245 seconds]
<jas-hacks_> GasVesa: make sure you delete the 'ubuntu' partition.

<hste> otavia: is it possible to add Xephyr to the build?
boxer has joined #imx6-dongle
<hste> otavia: it would be nice if it was possible to add sth like this http://gitorious.org/xephyr-with-gl-acceleration/xephyr-with-gl-acceleration
<hste> otavio: sorry wrong nick
<drachensun> This is kind of a generic driver question, why would a driver never be probed? I'm trying to setup the LCD driver on my imx tablet
<otavio> hste: it is better to use RDP server and RemoteFX
<otavio> ;)
<hste> otavio: I need it in a chroot on the yocto rootfs
<otavio> hste: :-) So it is a nice project to have as a goal ;-)
<otavio> hste: Xephyr well it uses kdrive
<otavio> hste: kdrive is dead
<hste> otavio: :)

eebrah has joined #imx6-dongle
<otavio> hste: I think you'll have a bad time
<otavio> hste: what is your idea?
<hste> otavio: I want to use yocto as a backend. Running my chroot distro with a nested xserver like I had on my nokia n900 easydebian
<otavio> Ah! I see
<otavio> But you may start Xorg from the chroot
<hste> otavio: yes I could but I want to use the gpu stuff build from yocto since it maybe get supported by freescale in the future :)
<hste> and I could use external sdcard or usb for the distro I chose in a chroot
<hste> otavio: btw the rpm build was ok, but the deb build failed
<otavio> hste: yes; start the Xorg from the chroot with Yocto
<otavio> :)

<jas-hacks_> drachensun: driver wouldn't probed if the hardware hasn't been detected.
<drachensun> ok, sorry if this is a dumb question, is udev involved in that?
<drachensun> I can see a bunch of init for the imx on the Android side but I dont see the same rules for udev
<drachensun> and the driver isn't popping up in dev
<drachensun> so I added some debug and sure enough the driver isn't being probed
<drachensun> I should say I see a bunch of Android init obviously related to the LCD ldb device
eebrah_ has quit [Ping timeout: 255 seconds]
<jas-hacks_> drachensun: the drivers normally get detected by the kernel either because they are included in the kernel when built or as modules using modprobe.
<drachensun> its a built in driver
<drachensun> and I know it loads
<drachensun> I can see the call to init
<drachensun> so basically ldb looks like the main lcd driver I need
<drachensun> it is loading and call the platform register function
<drachensun> and nothing else happens,
<drachensun> next mxc_ipuv3_fb comes along and inits
<drachensun> and doesn't see any LCD devices, so it just throws an error and quits
<jas-hacks_> drachensun: but lcd screen has its own driver depending on the manufacture of the LCD.
<jas-hacks_> drachensun: do you have the pastebin of android boot?
<drachensun> hmmm
<drachensun> I see the mipi DSI driver
<drachensun> Here is my current boot log
<jas-hacks_> Do you see this in yours:
<jas-hacks_> mxc_sdc_fb mxc_sdc_fb.0: register mxc display driver ldb
<jas-hacks_> _regulator_get: get() with no identifier
<jas-hacks_> imx-ipuv3 imx-ipuv3.1: IPU DMFC DP HIGH RESOLUTION: 1(0,1), 5B(2~5), 5F(6,7)
<drachensun> yup
<drachensun> So in Linux I am getting ] mxc_sdc_fb mxc_sdc_fb.0: NO mxc display driver found!
<jas-hacks_> Thats because its not detecting the hardware, your missing this:
<jas-hacks_> mxc_sdc_fb mxc_sdc_fb.0: register mxc display driver ldb
<drachensun> well I have that line in both
<jas-hacks_> yes but you have this "mxc_sdc_fb mxc_sdc_fb.0: NO mxc display driver found!" after
<drachensun> but the mipi driver isn't in both
<drachensun> so maybe that is the missing piece
<drachensun> yup so I need a "IPU DMFC DP HIGH RESOLUTION:" of some type
<jas-hacks_> You are not initialising the hardware correctly!
<drachensun> ok
<jas-hacks_> We had to workout the hardware configuration in order to initialise it correctly. Our code is in hdmi_dongle.c, you need to figure out the same kind settings for your tablet.
<drachensun> I'll take a look at that, it seems like they mentioned a tablet when they initially posted the code, so I'm hoping I just need to find the right setting
<drachensun> was it richietech that posted the source? I see their name all over the uboot for this device
<jas-hacks_> drachensun: Its a lot more work than you think!
<drachensun> heh yeah, I'm digging in now for a long haul with this thing
<jas-hacks_> drachensun: ... best to start reading the im6q ref manual ... also this file "board-mx6q_arm2.c" may help you.

<hste> jas-hacks_: was it hard to get totem working?
<jas-hacks_> hste: a bit of work... to find out which gstreamer packages needs to be recompiled and what patches to apply.
<jas-hacks_> hste: how did chroot go?
<hste> jas-hacks_: I got totem starting from chroot but the system froze when trying to play a video
<jas-hacks_> hste: I though it would be easier to take a debian rootfs and just build stuff on top of that.
<hste> jas-hacks_: but the rootfs from yocto wouldnt play video with the app it had
ajayr has quit [Ping timeout: 252 seconds]
<jas-hacks_> hste: when I last tried yocto (a month ago), video was working.
<hste> jas-hacks_: yes it would but then had to do the same as you to get gpu vpu
ajayr has joined #imx6-dongle
<hste> jas-hacks_: debian armhf worked well as rootfs but without gpu/vpu
<hste> jas-hacks_: waiting for etnaviv :)
<jas-hacks_> hste: But any rootfs will have same issues because of the xserver and gstreamer versions.
<hste> jas-hacks_: that is true :)
<hste> jas-hacks_: tested sound?
<jas-hacks_> hste: But it not that hard to fix them ... now that I know what to do ;).
<hste> jas-hacks_: armhf is harder to fix
<hste> jas-hacks_: did u just copy the binaries into your rootfs or did you build deb?
<jas-hacks_> hste: armhf can't be fixed until fsl release the vivante libs regardless of anything else. Hopefully that will soon.
<hste> ....or etnaviv
<jas-hacks_> hste: ... fsl will come 1st.
<jas-hacks_> hste: .. plus you still need to the vpu libs.
<hste> jas-hacks_: yes but vpu maybe be easier https://lwn.net/Articles/502587/
<jas-hacks_> hste: we should be grateful that fsl are not as closed source as the chinese soc's
<jas-hacks_> hste: I built the gstreamer debs on the gk802, it was easier to compile them.
<hste> jas-hacks_: how do u prevent them for getting "upgraded"
<jas-hacks_> hste: you just to need get the new package source and patch again if upgrading. For ubuntu armel its not a problem because not many updates occur.
<jas-hacks_> hste: no different to what ltib or yocto have to do.

<hste> jas-hacks_: whats next on your agenda? getting xbmc up on it?
<jas-hacks_> hste: that would be nice .. need to see if we can get an xbmc guy to help us out. Also may make sense to get a debian build working.
<hste> jas-hacks_: debian armel shouldn't be hard only need to do the same as you did on ubuntu to get gpu vpu up.

<jas-hacks_> hste: ... hopefully
<hste> jas-hacks_: debian armel rootfs is easy to make
<otavio> :-( I want my dongle! grr :P
<hste> otavio: I know how it is to wait for sth....
<otavio> ehehehe
<jas-hacks_> otvaio: There is/was a holiday in china 2-4th April. So nothing happens till next week.
<otavio> jas-hacks_: is has been sent already but hold in customs
<hste> otavio: luckily never had that problem yet
<jas-hacks_> otavio: Have you developed for any other imx6q boards?
<otavio> jas-hacks_: some; even the prototypes ;-)
<jas-hacks_> otavio: How good/bad is the sata interface?
<otavio> jas-hacks_: well all depends of what you're looking for
<otavio> jas-hacks_: what your plans?
<jas-hacks_> otavio: wanted to know if you can run a os from it.
<otavio> jas-hacks_: yes you can ... I don't recall if we added support for it in U-Boot thought
<otavio> jas-hacks_: but shouldn't be hard to add in case if it is need
<jas-hacks_> otavio: but it probably doesn't run at sata ii speeds?
<otavio> jas-hacks_: I need to check, but I think it does
<hste> jas-hacks_: not easy to get the needed satapins from the dongle :)
<jas-hacks_> otavio: because the ethernet max outs at around 400 Mbp.
<jas-hacks_> hste: looking at other boards ;)
<hste> jas-hacks_: 400Mbps on Gb nic?
<jas-hacks_> hste: yes, freescale's own numbers
<hste> jas-hacks_: because of design or kerneldrivers?
<jas-hacks_> hste: I think it was to do with a hardware or ARM limitation
<hste> duplex I hope?
<jas-hacks_> hste: should be
<jas-hacks_> otavio: You will need to find a heatsink for your GK802, it gets hot!
<jas-hacks_> otavio: although yocto might keep it cool ;)
<otavio> ahahah
<jas-hacks_> otavio: any xbmc support in yocto?
<otavio> jas-hacks_: yes
<otavio> I did get it building but not working
<jas-hacks_> otavio: interesting ..
<otavio> last time I worked using mx53 so I didn't try mx6
<jas-hacks_> otavio: does it interface through gstreamer?
