02:56 <abrasive> ajayr: thanks for that

05:00 <ajayr> abrasive another thing that puzzles me ... http://u-boot.10912.n7.nabble.com/PATCH-mx6-Fix-the-reading-of-CPU-revision-td150715.html

05:01 <abrasive> the ATAG that the VPU driver uses is, as far as I know, the board revision

05:01 <abrasive> which we report as one of the MX6Q types

05:02 <ajayr> we hard code get_board_rev to 0x63011 which means that the last 1 is cpu rev 1, from what I can see the rev 1 was in the initial lot of GK802 sold in Jan but the later lots in mar have v 2

05:02 <abrasive> it is a dirty, dirty hack on the driver's part.

05:02 <abrasive> pretty sure the kernel reads the version independently

05:02 <ajayr> i can see y cpu is a type 2 so ist that one of the issues for not seeing hdmi edid?

05:02 <abrasive> if you look at the start of the boot messages it tells you the correct chip revision

05:03 <abrasive> it certainly looks to be revision related, but is there any code in the tree that acts differently on different cpu revisions?

05:03 <abrasive> you could always try changing the get_board_rev value to the -2 revision and then see if that fixes anything.

05:04 <ajayr> I dont know ... I am still looking at why my LG TV LM6200 pust out EDID of 00

05:04 <abrasive> it's not just you :)

05:04 <abrasive> a lot of newer revision GK802 have that problem

05:04 <ajayr> that is a small consolation

05:04 <abrasive> the board itself has a different revision number

05:04 <abrasive> well, yes, but it means that only one person has to find the cause and a lot of people will be very happy.

05:05 <ajayr> my inital project for fedora fell flat since I cannot find a x 1.11 in F15 and F17 has 1.13 so I am waiting for yocto to work

05:05 <abrasive> me too.

05:05 <ajayr> till then the sticks are in a draw waiting for some love!

05:06 <abrasive> i have a lovely arch instgall but with no VPU

05:06 <abrasive> well, if you have a bus analyser or oscilloscope, and a bit of time... it'd be great if you could figure out the i2c issue ;)

05:07 <ajayr> unfortunately no 'scope and stuff for me at home ... havent done hardware for 10 years now, I doubt if my eyes and hands are steady enoght to to smt rework

05:08 <abrasive> i wish i had a new revision gk802 around to fix that problem

05:08 <abrasive> it's been bugging me.

05:09 <ajayr> i am planning that once i get the new u-boot working I may see what upstream linux wit DT looks like on iMX6 after all gpu vpu does not work for me and I dont even need it - that may be a fun way to tear some hair out!

05:10 <abrasive> hahaha

05:10 <abrasive> i like your definition of fun.

05:11 <abrasive> i need to get that uboot patchset merged upstream

05:11 <abrasive> so many things to do.

05:12 <ajayr> well best of luck - its best to wear your best flame retardant suit before you post on the u-boot list, reviews a quite harsh there

05:13 <abrasive> yeah, i don't doubt it

05:13 <abrasive> most of the gk802 stuff is similar to what is elsewhere in the tree

05:13 <abrasive> but i expect to get a vicious beating over the recovery mode hook

05:14 <abrasive> i'm considering tossing it just for that reason.

05:19 <ajayr> hopefully I will have a test and log for you in the next 6 - 8 hrs, I should get some time to work with the stick in a bit and will try some options and report back

05:19 <ajayr> bye for now

05:20 <abrasive> thanks. take care!

07:30 <projectgus> abrasive: i missed this before. so the problem with i2c/edid not reading on some TVs is probably hardware you think?

07:30 <projectgus> and some older GK802s can read TVs that newer ones cannot?

07:52 <abrasive> no, I don't know why it is

07:52 <abrasive> but it's certainly board revision related

07:53 <abrasive> suspect that i2c is just not being enabled right on some chip revisions

07:53 <abrasive> needs more information.

10:10 <dgp> abrasive: old version == the one with the can top package?

10:13 <abrasive> can top?

10:14 <dgp> there is a can version of the imx6

10:14 <dgp> i thought that was the version in the old boards

10:31 <abrasive> can as opposed to bare-backed flip die?

10:31 <abrasive> mine is old and bare die

10:41 <dgp> mmm I thought that as how you could tell which revision it was.. oh well.. anyhow I still have a new one with broken BT that I haven't depopulated yet

10:41 <dgp> I could send you that if it would help

10:57 <abrasive> that would help... it has broken edid too, right?

10:59 <dgp> it works with my stuff but I've only tested it with one display

11:00 <dgp> and I think I have the display mode hardcoded

12:01 <abrasive> oh right

12:01 <abrasive> if it reads the EDID as all zeroes then it's a candidate for debugging

12:08 <dgp> I'll check that when I next boot it up

18:46 <ArnieTheBest_> projectgus: tried your netinstaller...

18:46 <ArnieTheBest_> projectgus: worked fine

18:47 <ArnieTheBest_> had one kernel crash though. the first on my gk802....
