speakers not yet, need to figure out what darn switch it was :)
<Wizzup>
wifi is very unstable atm
Wizzup has quit [Quit: Lost terminal]
Wizzup has joined #linux-exynos

swabbles: do you remember the name of the wifi firmware?
<Wizzup>
anyway.
<Wizzup>
I took the firmware from chromeos.
<Wizzup>
for wifi.
<Wizzup>
Now it works as expected.
<Wizzup>
as in, it doesn't fail miserably
<Wizzup>
so yeah.
<Wizzup>
getting there.
<Wizzup>
as far as I am concerned the important thing now is finding out why /dev/fb0 acts so weird
<Wizzup>
but I know so little about the graphics stacks...
<Wizzup>
ah...
<Wizzup>
Frame buffer device information:
<Wizzup>
Name :
<Wizzup>
Size : 0
<Wizzup>
Address : (nil)
<Wizzup>
That WOULD explain it.
<swabbles>
Wizzup: the last time the firmware for Marvell WiFi was updated was somewhere in 2013, I believe.

Or at least, the binary that the Chromebook 2 is supposed to use.
<Wizzup>
maybe a DT thing
<Wizzup>
swabbles: the one from linux-firmware-20140603 oesn't work though
<Wizzup>
it dies very rapidly
<Wizzup>
swabbles: do you know if the FTD contains FB entries?
<swabbles>
Only fimd and lcd, IIRC.
<swabbles>
Or well, that would be close to what you are looking for.
<Wizzup>
yes. I found that
<Wizzup>
Looking at the other chromebook is so weird after this high res.

I guess it's all relative.
<Wizzup>
lol
<swabbles>
Wizzup: what kind of issues did you get with the linux-firmware blob?
<swabbles>
Because it seems that I have associated with the AP, DHCP seems to work fine, but pinging doesn't (for instance).
<Wizzup>
Yes. It's super slow and quickly halts.
<Wizzup>
I got a dhcp lease, tried ssh
<Wizzup>
and didn't get far.
<Wizzup>
waited for minutes, too.
<Wizzup>
Just copy the mrvl folder from chromeos /lib/firmware
<swabbles>
You only need sd8897_uapsta.bin IIRC.
<Wizzup>
or rather, I copied the entire /lib/firmware from cros to my /root/ and mv mrvl mrvl_old in my own lib/firmware and copied the mrvl folder from /root/chros_firmware.
<Wizzup>
and then it works just as nice as the cros wifi.
<swabbles>
Heh, it is complaining that s5p_mfc firmware is missing.
<Wizzup>
yes
<Wizzup>
which is weird
<Wizzup>
