<peterbjo1nx> turns out my initrd was too large (>1mb) and the kernel wasnt using it
<peterbjo1nx> so i made it smaller and now i have a working fbcon shell with usb keyboard :)
<peterbjo1nx> i still dont gett w
<peterbjo1nx> *get why the stock bootloader doesnt work anymore
<peterbjo1nx> even after a reflash
<libv> cool, can you document this issue?
<peterbjo1nx> i will, but there is little to document about it
<libv> you're doing initramfs, right?
<peterbjo1nx> yes
<libv> then i think it should fit somewhere on http://linux-sunxi.org/Initial_Ramdisk
<peterbjo1nx> ok
<libv> ah... wait...
<peterbjo1nx> it might have more to do with the way fel ramboot passes it
<libv> the initramfs is being loaded at 0x45000000 if my memory of my quick glance of before is solid
<peterbjo1nx> yes
<libv> there's some issue with these things being loaded at specific places, as some of that ram gets used afterwards
<libv> so it could be that this just a limitation of our setup
<peterbjo1nx> any clue as to why i cant access my sd card from linux?
<peterbjo1nx> i have the sunxi-mmc driver built into the kernel
<libv> did you enable uart in the fex and disable the mmc?
<peterbjo1nx> no, i am using the stock fex
<peterbjo1nx> i can access the card from uboot just fine
<peterbjo1nx> but linux doesnt recognize it
<libv> then no, on my a13 it just works
<peterbjo1nx> hmm, maybe i should take another look at my kernel config
<libv> and i brought that up just 1.5 months ago
<peterbjo1nx> anyway, im going to sleep now, ill update the wiki tomorrow
<libv> document your issue in the wiki first
<libv> otherwise it will never happen
<peterbjo1nx> done, on the usb boot page
<peterbjo1nx> as i think the issue is caused by the way fel usb boot loads the images
<libv> i think it would be because of how memory is used and where our u-boot loads the initrd
<libv> but thanks
<libv> goodnight

<Turl> mripard: ping :)
<razlept> i git pull build kernel with the same .config as before and now while botting i get Waiting for /dev to be fully populated...usb 2-1.4: device descriptor read/64, error -110
<razlept> pfff
<razlept> just poweroff board.. remove powersource.. powerit on again.. and now is working fine
<razlept> anyone about the kernel build process failure?
<mripard> Turl: pong
drfu_ has joined #linux-sunxi
<Turl> mripard: nm :)
* Turl is still half asleep
<razlept> Turl: can you help me on that ?
<razlept> i am trying to build a kernel without sound and video support.. and build is failed
<Turl> razlept: turn more stuff off until it builds? dunno :)
<razlept> Turl: basicaly alsa is the problem
<razlept> Turl: if i have alsa enabled .. it compiles just fine.. if i disable alsa support it not
<libv> razlept: do you really want Turl to waste time on fixing the build of your highly specific setup?
<razlept> libv: i just ask if its easy to give a look
<libv> razlept: just fix the issue yourself
<libv> razlept: don't ask if it is easy to fix any issue.
<libv> that's pointless
<libv> just fix the issue, and then you can afterwards determine whether it was easy or not.
<razlept> libv: easy for you or Turl
<razlept> for its not
<razlept> if it was i would solve it from yesterday till now
<libv> razlept: so if you spent that long, why do you ask Turl directly whether it is easy to solve it?
<Turl> razlept: I haven't even seen the build error for what it's worth
<Turl> 1GB A20 box :)
<Turl> who was it that was looking for 1GB hw the other day?
<libv> Turl: the build error is some symbols being depended on from alsa
<razlept> because he is thousand times better than me
<libv> razlept: ok.
<libv> Turl: tell razlept that it is easy.
<libv> Turl: no need to quantify it
<razlept> libv: come one libv
<libv> razlept: stop asking useless questions, and stop grabbing people just because they happen to be around
skaczor has joined #linux-sunxi
<libv> Turl: i have a cubietruck btw, a20 olinuxino
<Turl> razlept: those are linking errors, and "staging.c" is really not too specific
<libv> the cubietruck has 2gb _and_ vga
<Turl> libv: there was someone here the other day, with a mele that he didn't like and saying there was not enough 1GB hw
<libv> so i was not the one who complained there
<libv> pretty much everything made since H2 2012, anything that wasn't a13/a23 has 1gb :)
hramrach has quit [Ping timeout: 265 seconds]
<libv> oh, there's the lime :)
<razlept> Turl: thank you for your time
<libv> razlept: have you tried doing the logical thing and tried finding out where those functions that need those symbols live?
hramrach has joined #linux-sunxi
<razlept> libv: yes i done that but didnt the found where the symbols live
<libv> razlept: then why not just build with alsa included?
<libv> do those few kb really warrant all that time wasted?
<razlept> i would learn from that libv
<Turl> if I had to take a guess I'd try disabling the android usb gadget
<libv> razlept: by asking people to solve the problems for you?
<libv> where's the learning in that?
<razlept> libv: i didn't ask YOU anyway
Gerwin_J has quit [Ping timeout: 252 seconds]
<razlept> and there is no stupid question.. there is stupid answers
<razlept> also you spend too much time to tell all that
<razlept> i would learn from that
<libv> razlept: that's just a mantra used by people who haven't learned how to ask proper questions and haven't learned to fix problems for themselves.
<libv> razlept: have you heard about this tool called "grep"?
<libv> Turl just used it.
<libv> and so did i.
<razlept> yes i know that tool called it grep
<libv> razlept: good.
<libv> Turl: we really got quite lucky a few years ago with allwinner
<libv> and allwinner should count itself really lucky as well
<libv> if some of its device makers hadn't leaked source, they might be pulling similar stupidity today still
<libv> speaking of which, where is our a23 u-boot source?
<Turl> oliv3r!
<Turl> speaking of which.. I should review the packt stuff
<Turl> I'm already 1 day late
<libv> :)

<juanfont> related to the argument between libv and memleak: http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=MTY0MTM
<libv> juanfont: not entirely.
<libv> juanfont: memleak was arguing that X was useless and dead
<libv> and this was not based on anything he could quantify
<juanfont> i see
<libv> he even wasn't running on wayland or mir
<libv> and he blanket blamed drivers for that
<juanfont> who would? :)
<libv> which was our main point :)

<juanfont> but apart from the stability, the network, the driver support, 3d acceleration, extensibility... What have the xfree86/xorg ever done for us?
xinj has joined #linux-sunxi
<libv> it never promised something radically new in the last two decades.
<juanfont> i was using debian sid when the xfree86->xorg migration. that was quite radical xD
<Turl> I still wonder why do some distros have xf86-* package names
<libv> Turl: because i said so
<libv> Turl: people wanted to name it xorg-, but every DDX symbol started with xf86
<libv> xfree86, the organization, was dead, but the xfree86 codebase was very much alive
<libv> and i was one of the few people actually developing xf86 drivers and further the infrastructure from Q3 2003 till Q2 2006
<libv> my argument about the ddx symbols was the only thing that really stuck
<libv> and we ended up with xf86-{video,input}-$name
Gerwin_J has joined #linux-sunxi
xinj has quit [Quit: xinj]
<libv> people like keithp and anholt were working on kdrive (with k of course standing for keith).
<libv> and everyone was arguing about killing the xfree86 style DDX in a way not dissimilar of wayland vs x now
<libv> it's amazing how people have forgotten about such things
<libv> and how they still believe those who were proven quite wrong, to be absolute open source heroes

<libv> wayland only has so much traction because it is done by a former redhat current intel developer, and some people in intel believe in it

<nove> akaizen: how is the RE process steps, you ask?
<nove> akaizen: we run the player that use binaries blobs, to make traces of the registers access, we look at the traces and guess what is the function of the register

<oliv3r> jpeg, mjpeg, mpeg12 and h264 is pretty much 'discoverd' in the decoding department, some minor things missing

<oliv3r> nove: good point, not sure if i tagged cedrus page
<oliv3r> nvm someone did
<akaizen> Hmm.. is there anywork that pertains to both Allwinner and Rockchip - still a bit undecided on which platform to go with
<akaizen> I know they share a lot of Mali400 stuff
<nove> akaizen: in the vpu side?
<akaizen> in anything. completely different VPUs if i read correctly
<nove> akaizen: they still don't the vpu usable in gnu/linux
<nove> and rockchip community only recently started looking at it
<akaizen> "tonikasch: mmm, some documentation progress, how it is clear that RK3X VPU is in fact a On2 Hantro G1 (decoder) + H1(encoder)"
<nove> akaizen: i don't know what they are aim at, if to have a FLOSS driver, or only wanting to have it working with the binaries
<nove> akaizen: if the kernel interface was generic, then any userland libraries could be shared
<oliv3r> akaizen: mali would be relaly the only thing they'd potentially share
<oliv3r> but rk community is Very small and not sure how active they are
<oliv3r> akaizen: communitywise, sunxi is your best bet :p
<nove> akaizen: and our current aim, to do a kernel driver using V4L as memory-to-memory device
akaizen has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
<nove> akaizen: this could mean that the userland side would be generic

<Turl> shineworld: yes it is
<Turl> shineworld: there is also fedora 20 image now
<oliv3r> Turl: done reviewing?
<Turl> oliv3r: haven't even started :|
<Turl> oliv3r: I'll get to it now :p let me prepare a coffee
smotocel69 has joined #linux-sunxi
<smotocel69> jemk libvdpau-sunxi branch wip/osd-performance is still slow :|
<smotocel69> jemk why you did not implemented decoder in openmax libs?
<smotocel69> jemk with VDPAU_OSD=1 is slow :)
<oliv3r> Turl: with chatper1?
<Turl> oliv3r: eh? nah, it's like.. 4 I think
<Turl> I already turned the first 3 in
<jemk> smotocel69: because vdpau was the fastest way to get an easy framework to do reverse engineering. I didn't plan to write this for productive usage.
<Turl> like a week ago
<jemk> smotocel69: with which player is it slow?
<smotocel69> mplayer
<smotocel69> archlinux arm
<jemk> um, same setup here and its fast...
<smotocel69> jemk what player are you using?
<Turl> are you using fbturbo?
<smotocel69> Turl yes
<WarheadsSE> smotocel69: which driver and which kernel
<smotocel69> Linux alarm 3.4.79-1-ARCH #1 PREEMPT Tue Mar 11 07:40:39 MDT 2014 armv7l GNU/Linux
<jemk> smotocel69: mplayer on archarm with fbturbo and latest sunxi3.4
<WarheadsSE> K, which board?
<WarheadsSE> A10 ?
<smotocel69> yes

<Turl> oliv3r: question, can you 'wq' on fdisk and the like?
<Turl> (I mean both in one shot)
<smotocel69> jemk now i understand your work
<jemk> smotocel69: the wip/osd-preformance branch isn't perfect, but it should eliminate the most bottlenecks, except the XClearWindow which could be pretty slow for big screens/windows
mrnuke has joined #linux-sunxi
<smotocel69> jemk 720p is big? :)
<oliv3r> Turl: yeah; aren't you testing it? :p
<Turl> oliv3r: I trust you copy pasted correctly :p
<Turl> oliv3r: sigh, melita sent me a .doc
<Turl> I hope she doesn't mind me converting it to odt
indy has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
<jemk> smotocel69: is it faster without osd?
<smotocel69> jemk yes
<jemk> then it's not XClearWindow

<pirea> nove yes
notmart has quit [Quit: notmart terminated!]
<nove> pirea: cpu usage with osd?
<jemk> I tried on a10 now, its really slow there ?!
<oliv3r> Turl: the funny thing is; I sent an odt, so someone converted it
<WarheadsSE> jemk: you're saying that is it slow on the a10, but okay on the a20?
<oliv3r> Turl: and yeah i do copy paste everything; but it all needs to be tested obviously :p
<oliv3r> to catch errors!
<jemk> WarheadsSE: yep, seems so. a10 slow a20 ok
<pirea> nove 50% when i play videos
<rellla> jemk: a10 here.
<ssvb> active colorkey or alpha layer consumes more memory bandwidth, this could be the reason
<nove> can display sprites be a alternative to g2d?
<ssvb> pirea: if you have high cpu usage, you can run perf to profile and identify what exactly is using it
<Turl> oliv3r: do you send them with _LR in the name?
<pirea> ssvb 2 sec
<pirea> now cpu usage is 2%
<ssvb> is the performance good now?

<pirea> all cpu usage is 50-60%
<pirea> X use max 10-20%
<oliv3r> Turl: nope, no _LR in the name
<pirea> ssvb you know a tool to do a graphic in time with cpu usage
<pirea> ?
<pirea> brb
<Turl> oliv3r: your math on the stride stuff doesn't add up :p
<oliv3r> see, good; fix it up :D
<Turl> I'm not familiar enough with that to fix it up
<Turl> but I've left a note :)
<oliv3r> i'm not entirely sure if i want that bit in the book; oth it can be the speed booster though
<oliv3r> how can it not add up, if you don't know it
<Turl> oliv3r: you say stride-size is 8KiB/4KiB, so 2
<Turl> then on the calculation just above you use 8KiB instead of 2
<Turl> :p
<oliv3r> ah, ok
<oliv3r> i'll fix it :p
<oliv3r> the propermath, is an excersize left to the reader!
<Turl> lol :p

<ssvb> pirea: what kind of a10 device/devboard are you using?
<pireaa> ssvb cubieboard
<ssvb> ok, at least it has 32-bit memory interface, and dram clocked at 480MHz
<pireaa> ssvb yes
<ssvb> performance problems with A10-OLinuXino-LIME would be easier to blame on slow memory :)

<Turl> oliv3r: read the man page :p
<oliv3r> btw, most of these commands will be talked about in the appendix
<peterbjo1nx> turns out i couldnt get all those peripherals to work because i was loading my initrd and kernel too high in memory
<oliv3r> Turl: i don't have -r; only -l :p
<Turl> oliv3r: big R
<oliv3r> i only have small -r, not capital -R
<oliv3r> i swear to you on many peoples grave
<oliv3r> there is no -R
<oliv3r> but -l is 'better'
drfu_ has quit [Quit: Page closed]
<oliv3r> the man page date is the same, aug 2012
<oliv3r> why do i not have -R
<oliv3r> must be a stupid gentoo thing
<ccaione> oliv3r: I have gentoo and I have -R
<nedko> i have gentoo i dont have -R in the umount man page
<ccaione> ups, I saw mount
<ccaione> yeah, no -R
akaizen has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
<Turl> oliv3r: you should check on fedora :p
<Turl> which is what people will be using
<oliv3r> fedora has -R
<oliv3r> well -l is everywhere, and better anyway :p
maksimlin has joined #linux-sunxi
<Turl> oliv3r: going by what the man page says, l doesn't make any effort to recursively umount
<oliv3r> but it does strangly enough :)
<oliv3r> but i'll do -lR :D
<Turl> :P
<oliv3r> but -R isn't available everywhere :p

<Turl> you can't login :(
