I'm trying to get VPU accelerated debian on gk802 & everything I've tried in the past week hasn't worked -- no screen. My monitor & projector can't detect an attached HDMI device. Any ideas on what I've doing wrong?
<dshankar>
clearly I'm doing something wrong because I have the original sd card and that boots just fine to stock android.

thats based on your previous xubuntu script right?
<hste>
yes
<dshankar>
I went through most of those steps manually myself, though I used a different uboot

thanks for all the help hste
<dshankar>
managed to get a terminal (which is promising!)
<dshankar>
found another problem. the precompiled boot.scr sets root = /dev/mmcblk0p1, which isn't the case for everyone. mine is /dev/sdc1 for example. will compile my own. that should fix everything :-)

nevermind the above. i was wrong... still stuck on the console though. just a blinking cursor and a usb keyboard doesn't do anything. without a usb keyboard, I don't even get a blinking cursor. just a black screen :(

i'm stumped. just a console with a blinking cursor. perhaps debugging via serial console will help? going to buy a usb-ttl cable tomorrow

dshankar: I thought I had fixed that on the lxde version of the image that beeing used in the installerscript., but try to switch console wiyh ctrl-alt-f1 login as root/root and do a dpkg-reconfigure lightdm
<dshankar>
hste__: ah ok
<dshankar>
will try that now
<dshankar>
hste__: ctrl-alt-f1 isn't doing anything - perhaps my keyboard isn't being recognized?

dshankar: does the numlock toogle work?
<dshankar>
hste__: now I'm not even getting a console. my screen doesn't think a device is connected
<dshankar>
i don't think my keyboard is getting any power, because toggling capslock/numlock doesn't turn on my capslock light (it does on other computers)
<abrasive>
you might want to test one of them and see. eg. dd a 7.4gb file over one of them, then check the md5sum
<abrasive>
yeah

I have a sdcard that works ok with exfat, but untar a rootfs on the sdcard partioned with ext4 gives a lot of input/output errors.

what's the network configuration process here? manually edit the files?
<dshankar>
looks like there's no ifup/ifdown either
<hste__>
dshankar: the lxde image should have networkmanager in the gui. Do you have a wlan0 interface running ifconfig -a?
<dshankar>
i can't run ifconfig
<hste__>
sudo ifconfig -a
<dshankar>
nope
<dshankar>
ifconfig command not found
<dshankar>
haha whoops! forgot sudo
<dshankar>
yeah now it's easy to setup via terminal. was surprised when i could do ifconfig etc. :-)
<dshankar>
now to attempt to get chromium up and running! i remember some armhf issues with chromium before
<hste__>
dshankar: I think it should just be to apt-get install chromium

all, I've got the following error in my Xorg.log: (EE) AIGLX error: vivante exports no extensions (/usr/lib/dri/vivante_dri.so: undefined symbol: __driDriverExtensions)
<JBD1986>
I've recently upgraded to Dora, from dylan
<JBD1986>
I'll have to go back and check, but I believe this error was present in dylan as well
<JBD1986>
I was using fbdev in dylan, and am now using the vivante driver in dora.
<JBD1986>
I'm experiencing lag when dragging windows around the desktop (openbox is the window manager).
<JBD1986>
I'm hoping this is related to the DRI issue
<hste>
JBD1986: Thats normal and not a problem. We don't need AIGLX. Do you have a pastebin of your logfile?
<JBD1986>
with top, I can see that while dragging windows around, the x server listener jumps up to around 50% cpu (1 full core out of 2).
<JBD1986>
note: small windows are reasonable. They barely lag, if at all, while dragging
<JBD1986>
once the window takes up about 25-30% of the screen it gets bad
<hste>
JBD1986: The xorg looks ok
<JBD1986>
and any larger than that comes to a crawl
<hste>
JBD1986: Do you have /opt/ samples files?
<JBD1986>
no
<JBD1986>
going to lunch, will provide more details after
<hste>
JBD1986: try unset fbmem in boot 32M maybe to litle

<JBD1986>
is there a way to see how much fbmem is actually set to while linux is running?
<JBD1986>
I suspect that number is overwritten automatically
<hste>
try not to set it
<JBD1986>
setting it to 128 didn't help, will try removing the line
<JBD1986>
nah, didn't change anything
<JBD1986>
note: while dragging the window around, the background of where the window was is gray. That fills in with the desktop background quickly, but it is noticeable
<JBD1986>
Ah! even more interesting
<JBD1986>
if i drag the window straight up, there is no gray area, and it doesn't lag

jas-hacks, I made some posts above regarding the following error:
<JBD1986>
(EE) AIGLX: reverting to software rendering
<jas-hacks>
do you have the vivante samples installed?
<JBD1986>
No
<JBD1986>
I suppose I could kick off a build and add those and glxinfo in
<JBD1986>
jas-hacks, do you know the package name for the vivante samples by any chance?
<jas-hacks>
JBD1986: sorry don't know
<JBD1986>
no problem
<JBD1986>
i'm guessing it's vivante-gpu-sdk
rz2k has joined #imx6-dongle
<JBD1986>
jas-hacks, I'm building those in now, will take some time. Any ideas on the lagginess while dragging windows? Only lags when the window being dragged would leave some new desktop background exposed.
<jas-hacks>
I just tested on the debian image, I don't get lag when I drag
<jas-hacks>
I get margin repaint issues when resizing a window
<JBD1986>
can you try making the window you are moving around larger?
<JBD1986>
like make it take up 50% of the screen
<jas-hacks>
thats works fine
<JBD1986>
well that would lead me to believe that I am missing something, or am applying some feature that is bogging down the system
<jas-hacks>
do you have libg2d.so
<jas-hacks>
if you are using the 3.10.1 gpu libs?
<jas-hacks>
3.10.9-1 gpu libs
<JBD1986>
i did "find / -name "libg2d.so"
<JBD1986>
no results
<jas-hacks>
is dora on 3.10.9-1 gpu libs?
<jas-hacks>
looks like it is
<JBD1986>
gpu-viv-g2d_3.10.9-1.0.0.bb
<jas-hacks>
then it is missing gpu-viv-g2d-3.10.9-1.0.0.bin
<JBD1986>
ok, so in theory I can include that. Does the vivante driver attempt to load that, or do I need to tie it in?
<jas-hacks>
it will use it for 2d stuff if it is there. It contains just one lib file so you can copy it over.
<JBD1986>
jas-hacks, so all I have to do is copy that to /usr/lib/ ?
<jas-hacks>
so be ok in /usr/lib
<JBD1986>
ok, did not solve issue, any way I can verify the module?
<JBD1986>
I strongly suspect it isn't being loaded
<JBD1986>
i think there is more than just the *.so
<jas-hacks>
which module?
<JBD1986>
jas-hacks, I've added the package in, and I'm doing a full build. Will test tomorrow
<JBD1986>
libg2d
<jas-hacks>
it's used by the 2d examples in glmark2 and glmark2-es2
<JBD1986>
But is there any way to tell it was loaded at startup?
<JBD1986>
find ${D}${libdir} -type f -exec chmod 644 {} \;
<JBD1986>
find ${D}${includedir} -type f -exec chmod 644 {} \;
<JBD1986>
}
<JBD1986>
so there is something to go in /usr/include/
<jas-hacks>
/usr/include is where the gl/egl/gles headers files are placed, but aren't needed for running only for compilation
<JBD1986>
jas-hacks, Well, there was no improvement by adding that library
<JBD1986>
jas-hacks, I'll test the full image tomorrow, but I'll have to look for other possible issues

hste__: apt-get install chromium doesn't work (no installation candidate). I'm guessing I don't have the apt repository for chromium then. Will have to find it and add it
<MikeSeth>
dshankar: there's no ARM port for chromium
<MikeSeth>
well, there is, ust not in debian
<dshankar>
MikeSeth: I thought chromium has been on debian armhf for awhile now?
<dshankar>
ah. so i'll have to compile from source then?
<MikeSeth>
apparently not
<MikeSeth>
if you need a browser install iceweasel
<dshankar>
i specifically need a recent version of webkit
<dshankar>
doing some webrtc stuff
<MikeSeth>
then tell me how it went, I prefer chrome too
<jas-hacks>
not sure if chromium is still in 'unstable' category
<MikeSeth>
I just checked p-d-o, it's not in any of them
