if it at least displayed why dt configuration failed :)
<Ashleee>
yup I am missing some driver, grabbed armbian conf and it works
<Ashleee>
now which driver it is :D
<Ashleee>
maybe eFuse :)
<Ashleee>
if it generates MAC based on the device id from fuses
<Ashleee>
yup very much so
<Ashleee>
:D
<Ashleee>
that's 3 hours of my time gone :)
<Ashleee>
oh reboot gets stuck but I can get around that, not the first device with such problem :D
<Ashleee>
now about mainline u-boot :D :D
<Ashleee>
nah just kidding, I am gonna give up on that, there's no support for meson8b in mainline it seems
<Ashleee>
and sadly the ancient hardkernel one gives exception and resets on tftp boot
<Ashleee>
ah well, better than nothin
<Ashleee>
btw in /sys I cannot find cpufreq nodes, did I miss something again or is it working-but-hidden? I swear I have now all dtb things enabled :)
<Ashleee>
don't see it being loaded in kernel log
<Ashleee>
yes I forgot .. :)
<Ashleee>
today's not my best day :D

meson8 is still a bit uncharted with maineline

swimm3r:
<efqw>
swimm3r: you need to use pyamlboot to start u-boot over USB and work from there
<efqw>
Probably need one of those USB-A to USB-A cable.
<efqw>
You can probably use ATF binaries from other gxl boards for s905d.
<efqw>
narmstrong: is there a way to talk to the mainline u-boot over USB? Currently I'm still using serial console for actual mmc operations, I wonder if there's a way to flash the emmc without having to open up the box and hook up the serial console.
<narmstrong>
efqw: ums will share the emmc as usb mass storage
<efqw>
cool, so we can just dd to the usb mass storage then?
<narmstrong>
efqw: yes
<efqw>
Nice, that's much easier than I've thought.

Looks like the HDMI dongle trick don't work on absolutely everything
<efqw>
I have this p230 based board and the two HDMI dongles I have don't do anything at all. The USB boot one should make the bootrom wait for a copule of seconds and print USB in the first line.
<efqw>
but nothing happens, the board insists on booting from emmc
<efqw>
The same dongles I used work great on other gxl/gxm boards.

efqw: the hdmi dongle does not work perfectly on all boards, especially gxl and gxm tv boxes in my experience - what always worked for me in such cases was to interrupt the legacy u-boot from emmc and then type reset: then the dongle forced boot usually works
<efqw>
hexdump0815: very interesting, just tried it and indeed it's working after a hot reset from the legacy u-boot
<efqw>
Actually I think I know what's wrong now, can't believe I missed something as simple as this.
<efqw>
On some boards hdmi power is not enabled by default, so the eeprom is not even powered on.
<efqw>
The light on the dongle only comes on just before u-boot starts
<efqw>
That is indeed the problem. I powered on the eeprom with an external 3v3 source and the bootrom is now waiting for USB.
<efqw>
I feel super uncomfortable feeding power from the wrong direction like this though, I think I need some diodes to make this less terrifying for me.

chewitt: sorry yes I misunderstood, I was of the impression it was a usb problem with vendor uboot only
<xdarklight>
Ashleee: I'm still catching up with mails and stuff. do you have your kernel .config at hand?
<xdarklight>
Ashleee: and the full kernel boot log output on a pastebin would be great :)
<narmstrong>
efqw: it’s exact on most of the tv boxes the hdmi 5v is not powered on a cold boot
<efqw>
and if I'm not mistaken in most cases hdmi power is tied to usb power
