<slapin> hi, all!
<slapin> what is difference between Allwinner H5 and A64?
<miasma> did you check the wiki pages http://linux-sunxi.org/A64 http://linux-sunxi.org/H5
<apritzel> slapin: high level: H5 has three USB host + 1 OTG, A64 has only one USB host + 1 OTG
<apritzel> H5 has Mali450, A64 has Mali400
<apritzel> H5 has a slightly newer core, one critical erratum is fixed
<apritzel> slapin: for the low level stuff the H5 is very close to the H3, much closer than the A64
<apritzel> slapin: also the manual speaks of MMC 5.1 for the H5 vs. MMC 5.0 for the A64, but this may just be marketing
<apritzel> nobody knows because of the lack of proper documentation

<tkaiser> H5 datasheet (705 pages) sent by Xunlong. Exceeds 16 MB upload limit (25 MB) :(
<KotCzarny> o.O
<KotCzarny> 705 ?
<tkaiser> https://transfer.sh/Jmt1l/allwinner-h5-datasheet-v1.0.pdf -- can anyone with access to dl.linux-sunxi please upload the file and relink it
<tkaiser> KotCzarny: A user manual called datasheet obviously
<KotCzarny> user my ass, hehe
<KotCzarny> but seriously, what do you write on 705 pages?
<jelle> KotCzarny: cats
<KotCzarny> otoh, if they are correct, its a very nice move on behalf of allwinner
<tkaiser> KotCzarny: it's a link, click on it, start to read ;)
<jelle> tkaiser: thanks for the datasheet
<tkaiser> jelle: IgorPec transferred it
<KotCzarny> i hope they could be used to dismantle remaining mysteries of h3/a64
<montjoie> yeah user manual!
<jelle> hmm H5 has an rtc clock which can be operated by a battery?
* jelle wonders where the power pins forthe rtc clock are then
<KotCzarny> 4.16.1 is dissapointing
<tkaiser> jelle: Could. On OPi PC 2 it's not connected to a battery. So typical OTT box mode: RTC while device is connected to mains ;)
<jelle> tkaiser: yeah thought so

<KotCzarny> you might see what mainline a20 thermo driver does, maybe formula is fitting too
Ultrasauce has joined #linux-sunxi
tkaiser has joined #linux-sunxi
<tkaiser> KotCzarny: C'mon, please stop this.
<tkaiser> KotCzarny: thermal sensor in A10/A20 sits there by accident, this is different with H3 and all more recent Allwinner SoCs. We also know that we get thermal readouts that are somewhat off (too low) with mainline u-boot compared to BSP u-boot
<KotCzarny> tkaiser, so what do you propose? finding formula by 'calibrating' ?
<tkaiser> KotCzarny: A10, A13 and A20 needed a formula. With H3 it's easy: It's 10¡C to 15¡C more than reported by sensor
<KotCzarny> so yeah, 'calibrating'
<tkaiser> At least that was the difference when I tried this out in early 2016. Same kernel/image only one time used Allwinner's 2011.09 u-boot, the 2nd time mainline u-boot
<tkaiser> KotCzarny: If you have too much time, then send patches. I prefer to don't give a sh*t and adjust throttling values accordingly

fkluknav has joined #linux-sunxi
florianH has joined #linux-sunxi
<tkaiser> KotCzarny: I don't know whether any person using u-boot 2011.09 did thermal measurements on the surface so all we currently know is that numbers differ based on u-boot version for reasons unknown (clock stuff?)
Christos_ has joined #linux-sunxi
<KotCzarny> heck, thermal readout depending on clocks? thats crazy talk
<tkaiser> KotCzarny: Feel free to find the real reason. That was a quick though by ssvb. I don't have any clue here at all. I just wasted some of my time to do the comparison.
LargePrime has quit [Ping timeout: 246 seconds]
Christos_ has quit [Client Quit]
<tkaiser> And then decided to use 'max temp' for throttling somewhat lower than normal
<KotCzarny> does throttle happen in software or there is throttling settable in soc?
<tkaiser> To have some safety headroom regarding H3's 125¡C max even if we know that readouts are too low.
<tkaiser> KotCzarny: Read the famous user manual ;) With BSP kernel maybe ARISC is involved, with mainline it's kernel code (as megi implemented it)

gumblex has quit [Quit: Bye.]
<tkaiser> IMO the only (real9 purpose of those thermal sensors in more recent SoCs is to prevent damage/overheating so lets simply use them for that and choose values that ensure not exceeding some tresholds. No matter how the actual numbers the driver produces look like.
juri_ has joined #linux-sunxi
<tkaiser> ErwinH: Did you also run some lightweight stuff (sysbench) or something heavy (cpuburn-a7 for example)?
<ErwinH> No, because it's running without heatsink and I don't trust my image at the moment. Somehow megi's branch doesn't give me a good working image.

<tkaiser> If you press your thumb on H3 and reported temperature gets below 37¡C you know something's wrong (either with you or the numbers a driver is spitting out ;) )

<tkaiser> ErwinH: megi's throttling tresholds are pretty low, there's not that much to fear
<dgp> The temp reading from the THS driver for mainline seem to be totally out of whack on the h2.. so I start throttling at 40c I think
<dgp> I can compile a kernel on all 4 cores without it melting down like that :)
<ErwinH> Ok, but I can't get megi's branch to create a usable image :(
<dgp> bh_printk(XRADIO_DBG_TRC,"%s\n", __FUNCTION__);
<dgp> oops
juri_ has quit [Ping timeout: 246 seconds]
<ErwinH> dgp: The temp reading seemed reasonable for me on my OPi Zero. 29C idling and it does feel a lot cooler then the OPi One at 40C.
<tkaiser> dgp: I would assume H2+ being identical with H3 here. But my tests date a bit back. When testing temperatures did not exceed 70¡C and cpufreq jumped between 816 and 1008 MHz (without using the possible 912 MHz in between)
<tkaiser> dgp: Yes, orangepi-4.9 branch
<KotCzarny> i would assume h2+ to be cooler than h3 because of few components removed/disabled
<KotCzarny> but it might be hotter because of small board
<dgp> tkaiser: I felt it getting really hot but still reading 45 - 50 which didn't seem right
juri_ has joined #linux-sunxi
<tkaiser> ErwinH: Do the thumb test. You body is a huge heatsink and heat dissipation is more effective.
<KotCzarny> hehe, thumb test with soc running cpuburn might hurt
<tkaiser> dgp: What's really hot? It hurts when you touch the SoC?
<dgp> ErwinH: I have that repo + rc6 merged
<ErwinH> That was a thumb test, or index finger actually :)
<dgp> tkaiser: yeah, like almost burning skin hot
<tkaiser> KotCzarny: Idle temperature
<KotCzarny> dgp, grab ir thermometer, they usually have 'object temperature' setting which is not that bad, they are cheap too
<jelle> oh nice u-boot has 2 new maintainers for sunxi
<KotCzarny> and there is a high chance you have one already
<tkaiser> dgp: Then there's something really wrong.
<dgp> KotCzarny: I don't have one at the moment but I will get one from banggood if I remember
<dgp> tkaiser: yeah that's what I thought. I found the temp reading for the highest temp I thought would be acceptable and adjusted the trip points for that
<tkaiser> dgp: If it's too hot then this won't work. But normally the thumb test is pretty simply, start temperature monitoring and press your thumb on the SoC and watch temp behaviour
<tkaiser> dgp: Ah, by fiddling around with trip points wrongly (BSP kernel) I managed a few times to do the wrong thing. Always feeding 1.3V even at lowest clockspeeds.
juri_ has quit [Ping timeout: 248 seconds]
<tkaiser> dgp: But I doubt that can be possible with mainline
<tkaiser> But with BSP kernel with wrong settings ARISC got crazy in the background
<dgp> It's possible, but the pi zero only has 1.1v or 1.3v. My regulator setup seems to work as I'm reading 1.1v most of the time
<tkaiser> dgp: Multimeter?
<dgp> yeah, there is a test point for the cpu voltage regulator output
<dgp> I added regulators in my dt for the dram etc too so something else can't grab the gpios.. but for some reason they get turned off at boot so everything stops ;)
<MoeIcenowy> dgp: did you specify regulator-boot-on?
<MoeIcenowy> or regulator-always-on (I think this is proper
juri_ has joined #linux-sunxi
<dgp> MoeIcenowy: yes, but the gpio seems to go into the disabled state when the pinmux is configured
<dgp> so it gets set to output, goes low, DRAM turns off

<KotCzarny> then its either buggy or requires fiddling
<tkaiser> Or blacklisted since known as buggy
<tkaiser> drivers/usb/storage/uas-detect.h is great reading
<KotCzarny> maybe its just new vendor, which means ids arent added yet?
<MoeIcenowy> there's no info of this vendor id in kernel

<KotCzarny> and we can profit from confirming ns1066 is worth buying too
<MoeIcenowy> but many documents say that ns1066 is not capable of uasp...

<tkaiser> Seppoz: But depending on your needs it's better to use AXP209 temperature, more reliable and available via sysfs
<Seppoz> i dont have axp
<Seppoz> othwerwise np
<tkaiser> Seppoz: Search for testers-wanted-sunxi-adjustments-for-rpi-monitor and check /sys/devices/platform/sunxi-i2c.0/i2c-0/0-0034/temp1_input

<tkaiser> Seppoz: Since you loose so much features?
<av_> any ideas?
<Seppoz> like what?
<KotCzarny> battery charging for one
<Seppoz> no need
<tkaiser> Seppoz: voltage regulation, battery charging? Without that (and SATA) A20 would be useless for me
<Seppoz> its a very specialized product
<dan0_0> Ya think Xunlong or FriendlyARM will make a board with 3GB of DDR3?
<KotCzarny> dan0_0: unlikely, too expensive
<KotCzarny> peoply only buy the cheapest
<tkaiser> KotCzarny: Not true, see Pine64. 2GB version is pretty overpriced but sales best.
<dan0_0> Eh, why'd they make any variants with 2GB of ram then?
<KotCzarny> tkaiser: marketing.
<dan0_0> Yea, at these smaller sizes, people will pay for more ram
<KotCzarny> Seppoz: neat
<tkaiser> KotCzarny: product development, if you look at Pine64 they made their money with clueless people thinking they would *need* as much DRAM as possible and accessories. The Wi-Fi/BT module is the same as on the CHIP but the whole CHIP costs $1 less ;)

<Seppoz> its not that easy to switch to mainline kernel tho

<tkaiser> 't trust too much in it, the thermal sensor in A20 is part of another IP block and not designed to protect from overheating. It's there and it can be used and some linux-sunxi folks did calibration some years ago

<NiteHawk> tuxillo: if you're around, could you check if https://github.com/n1tehawk/sunxi-tools/commit/963290fb179283536bc8f42a7b6c3f7319cdf6bb solves your compilation problem for sunxi-tools on Dragonfly? I'd like to address the various BSD problems in a more 'generic' way
lemonzest has quit [Quit: Leaving]
<tuxillo> NiteHawk: can't try right now
<tuxillo> NiteHawk: but just by looking at the patch it looks like a nicer approach imho
<NiteHawk> tuxillo: yes, it should be more foolproof, especially with regards to older BSD versions that still might require those #defines from the original gist
<NiteHawk> tuxillo: you may just leave some feedback in the PR discussion on GitHub. if you approve the new patch, i could pull it into sunxi-tools and then close your request

<tkaiser> hojnikb: 'Needed for now'... I merged the 'Debian Server' stuff from Xunlong with an Armbian desktop image. Worked but already deleted since why?

<freemangordon> Wizzup: seems I bought the right one by chance :) - Q8H_HD , 1024x600, quad core A33
<freemangordon> jelle: does ^^^ model seems about right to you?
<Wizzup> freemangordon: I think that may be similar to what I got today (from plesio)
<Wizzup> I will unpack it tomorrow
<freemangordon> waht is weird is there is no manufacturer name written on the device, or in the user manual :)
<freemangordon> ok, lets find the quick howto-boot-linux :)
<KotCzarny> fmg: 1/ uart pads
<KotCzarny> (just in case).
<KotCzarny> 2/ sdcard with proper uboot, kernel and the rest
<hojnikb> hmmm, debian image seems pretty snappy
<MoeIcenowy> KotCzarny: I think UART pads on A33 devices are usually useless
<MoeIcenowy> as all my seen A33 devices are designed to use PF2/PF4 as UART pads
<MoeIcenowy> which can be easily retrieved by uSD Breakout
<freemangordon> so, is there a "test" image I can do a quick test with?
<hojnikb> a armbian image would be great
<hojnikb> an*
<freemangordon> KotCzarny: I guess I have to disassemble to access uart pads?
<hojnikb> maybe tkaiser will find his image somewhere :)
<MoeIcenowy> verified on: (A33) Aoson M751s (no UART pads, but official firmware's boot0/u-boot debugging info is outputed via PF*), iNet D978 Rev02 (UART pads are PF2/PF4); (R16) Parrot (UART socket is PF2/PF4), Nintendo NES Mini (UART test pads are PF2/PF4)
<MoeIcenowy> freemangordon: maybe it will be better to purchase a uSD Breakout, as what I said
<freemangordon> MoeIcenowy: sorry, I am new to all this stuff, could you elaborate
<freemangordon> all this == allwinner
<MoeIcenowy> you can build a A33 image manually
<MoeIcenowy> with mainline
<MoeIcenowy> are you familiar with U-Boot and Mainline ARM Linux?
<freemangordon> MoeIcenowy: yes, but this is step 2 or 3, I first want to know if I can boot something at all
<freemangordon> MoeIcenowy: yes
<MoeIcenowy> ok you can boot just a simple U-Boot.
<freemangordon> mainline?
<MoeIcenowy> yes
<freemangordon> good
<MoeIcenowy> you can try q8_a33_tablet_1024x600_defconfig
<KotCzarny> fmg: as MoeIcenowy said, those tablets usually mux the uart. hum.
<MoeIcenowy> but before going to mainline guys, you should check your touchscreen
<KotCzarny> MoeIcenowy: is there other way to see serial messages?
<freemangordon> yeah, I was about to ask for dtb :)
<MoeIcenowy> freemangordon: for dtb? sun8i-a33-q8-tablet.dtb
<freemangordon> ok
<freemangordon> thanks
<MoeIcenowy> BUT BEFORE YOU GOING TO MAINLINE GUYS
<MoeIcenowy> CHECK YOUR TOUCHSCREEN
<MoeIcenowy> IF IT'S A SILEAD GSLX68X
<MoeIcenowy> PLEASE BACKUP THE ANDROID VENDOR DRIVER
<MoeIcenowy> A FIRMWARE LIES IN IT
<KotCzarny> MoeIcenowy: can it boot from sdcard without touching nand?
<MoeIcenowy> of course yes
<freemangordon> MoeIcenowy: how to check TS from non-rooted android?
<MoeIcenowy> try to lsmod?
apritzel has joined #linux-sunxi
<MoeIcenowy> I think many AW tablets have adb root access
<MoeIcenowy> especially brandless ones
<freemangordon> keep in mind I try to not touch android no matter what, so I have no android SDK around :)
<MoeIcenowy> to be honest it's not so easy to touch android guys from mainline :-)

<MoeIcenowy> is A64 eMMC support stable now?

<apritzel> not really
hojnikb has quit [Quit: Page closed]
<apritzel> MoeIcenowy: it was a hack only anyway
<MoeIcenowy> freemangordon: to be honest, currently no one can replace it on nand with mainline guys :-)
<freemangordon> :)
<MoeIcenowy> I did the experiment, and failed :-(
<apritzel> MoeIcenowy: also I still see it hang (for up to half a minute, sometimes), but at least it always continues eventually
<MoeIcenowy> I cannot even make a SPL which can read the main U-Boot binary :-(
<MoeIcenowy> apritzel: mysterious...
<apritzel> MoeIcenowy: I have no proof, but I guess this is eMMC driver related
<MoeIcenowy> is H3 eMMC boards working properly?
<MoeIcenowy> is A83T eMMC boards working properly?
<apritzel> MoeIcenowy: I don't have any, so cannot say
<MoeIcenowy> I think these two revisions do have all small advances
<apritzel> MoeIcenowy: but I don't remember any complaints
<MoeIcenowy> montjoie seems to have both
<MoeIcenowy> so do I
<freemangordon> well, when it comes to it, I will try, I have some experience with onenand on omap3, however now my aim is userspace so SD card image should suffice
<apritzel> MoeIcenowy: A64/H5 eMMC is quite a difference, though
<MoeIcenowy> freemangordon: I think you should surely retrieve enough info from Android
<MoeIcenowy> at least, script.bin
<MoeIcenowy> which can be only read by reading /dev/mem now
<MoeIcenowy> which needs root
<apritzel> MoeIcenowy: do you want to send out any U-Boot bits for the OPi Zero?
<MoeIcenowy> but you can try "rootmydevice", the famous aw backdoor
<apritzel> MoeIcenowy: if not, I could send out what I use here ...
<MoeIcenowy> apritzel: after the Linux dt is mainlined
<freemangordon> if I only know how . Seems I will have to RTFM :)
<apritzel> MoeIcenowy: yeah, OK
<MoeIcenowy> as Orange Pi One ones works properly here :-)
<apritzel> MoeIcenowy: yeah, but I have a SPI flash soldered, so need some changes anyway
<MoeIcenowy> for rootmydevice backdoor, you can google it :-)
<MoeIcenowy> apritzel: not everyone have it soldered...
<MoeIcenowy> I still don't dare to solder it by myself
<apritzel> MoeIcenowy: but the CONFIG_ options will not hurt
<MoeIcenowy> yes
<MoeIcenowy> freemangordon: for any problems related to A33 tablet hacking, feel free to ask me ;-)

<nove> rellla: is because of caching, the cache for the main page has to be invalidated or just by a edit
<KotCzarny> :)
<mihlit> Guys, did I waste money? I bought friendlyarm's NanoPi M2 which uses samsung's S5P4418. I've read that this soc is obsolete, it is not supported in mainline kernel and never will be. Is it true?
<KotCzarny> mihlit: who knows, this is allwinner socs related channel
<tkaiser> mihlit: This is a Samsung/Nexell SoC
<KotCzarny> you can try returning it
<rellla> nove: ok about the caching. but i don't get the other thing... can you fix it by yourself probably?
<mihlit> Features looked good, only later I found out, it's not H3 like NanoPi Neo.
<mihlit> I don't return things I buy if it is me to blame. I did the mistake, so I will have to live with it :)
<mihlit> on allwinner topic, I made another mistake two years ago, when I bought Phoenix A20. That's another candidate for trash bin, right?
<tkaiser> mihlit: In case you bought also a FriendlyARM LCD that might fun since this really works flawlessly. And while the kernel is rubbish the OS images aren't.
<mihlit> tkaiser: yes, their os image works well, but I don't have use for hw with no future (mainline support)
<mihlit> tkaiser: yes
<rellla> nove: got it now :) will change that
<KotCzarny> mihlit: dont be confused, a20 based devices arent obsolete
<tkaiser> mihlit: Regarding this Nexell stuff your only hope is Samsung since they use some of the SoCs in their ARTIK IoT line. Maybe you've luck there. But not that much hope
<KotCzarny> and keep in mind sata on a20 is 5x faster than on any other allwinner device
<mihlit> KotCzarny: well, I have other devices with a20, but for Phoenix, there is no device tree available, afaik
<KotCzarny> try default a20 one?
<nove> rellla: another thing
<tkaiser> mihlit: If you have a fex/script.bin and some knowledge then it's not that much of a problem
<KotCzarny> or just make one using script.fex as a source for pins
<KotCzarny> and assuming it has vga port, maybe its olimex clone? ;)
<mihlit> KotCzarny: I've tried image for cubieboard2 which has same nic chip and other similarities, but it boots with usb not working, sata error messages filling console,... not good
<KotCzarny> then just compare pin setups
<tkaiser> mihlit: CB2 images are bad anyway since DRAM is clocked way too high always.
<mihlit> tkaiser: I don't have fex file, they have some images for this board available, but they are for nand and mounting that image does not work
<nove> rellla: in the description of cedrus, what was reverse engineered was the hardware
leviathanch has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
<rellla> nove: i thought about that point, but found it in http://linux-sunxi.org/CedarX/Reverse_Engineering
<tkaiser> mihlit: There are instructions somewhere to dump this sysconfig.fex stuff from memory, then you can convert it to a normal fex file and have all the pin mappings
IgorPec has quit [Quit: Nettalk6 - www.ntalk.de]
<nove> rellla: not the software, as you know the blobs libraries was only used to generate traces of how the hardware is programmed
<mihlit> KotCzarny: I've seen that, it's all nand images that can't be mounted
<nove> and nothing more
<mihlit> did anyone try to create devicetree from fex file? is it difficult? If it should take me weeks, it won't be worth it. I have just one board...
<tkaiser> mihlit: Only with 10-15 H3 devices, but there's is super simple because they're all the same more or less. But it shouldn't be that hard if you choose a board that's close to yours.

<jelle> oh ahh I see
<apritzel> jemk has made some progress on the H5 DRAM stuff, I just need to put it on top of this branch (which isn't trivial)
<jelle> nice
<apritzel> let me just implement SW4 as a FEL button in the existing H5 SPL ;-)
<apritzel> (because if you have something in the NOR flash you lose the easy FEL access)
megi has joined #linux-sunxi
<apritzel> tkaiser: what was that button on the Opi PC 2 used for again on that AW firmware?
<MoeIcenowy> freemangordon: yes mainline touchscreen driver needs it
<tkaiser> apritzel: Huh? Which button?
<tkaiser> apritzel: SW4?
<apritzel> tkaiser: yes
<apritzel> didn't you mention something the other day?
<apritzel> that they have some kind of power off functionality or the like?
<apritzel> (or what that another board?)
<tkaiser> apritzel: 'power button', when used with BSP u-boot/kernel then it gets defined as 'sunxi key' and can then wake up from suspend to ram.
<nove> rellla: again i am nitpicking about wording, at "which aims at becoming a fully 100%", it does not _aims_ or will _become_ it is already is 100%
<tkaiser> Since 'poweroff' reboots the board and then u-boot sits there waiting for the press of a button.
<apritzel> tkaiser: so it's not "poweroff", but "pm-suspend" then?
<tkaiser> apritzel: But as far as I understand this could be used for anything.
<apritzel> tkaiser: yeah, it's just connected to PL3
<apritzel> tkaiser: I have it hacked to be a FEL button
<rellla> nove: i think the "aims" is referred to "will become" , but we can change that to "is"
<tkaiser> apritzel: Nope, it's really combined functionality. With a specific kernel settings 'poweroff' will set a flag before and issue a reboot. But u-boot will then wait for event sources (button or IR or maybe later also WiFi/BT)
<tkaiser> apritzel: And on H3 boards with BSP stuff this works pretty well but currently with the BSP stuff for OPi PC 2 consumption is way to high in this mode.
<tkaiser> apritzel: And what kind of hack is this to get FEL functionality?
<apritzel> tkaiser: so it will keep the DRAM around and save all the state as "pm-suspend" is supposed to?
<tkaiser> apritzel: In theory, yes.
<apritzel> tkaiser: so it's broken, because poweroff means poweroff and pm-suspend means pm-suspend
<apritzel> tkaiser: which is UNIX: you do as I told you
<apritzel> tkaiser: if you have something bootable in NP}
<apritzel> NOR flash, you loose easy FEL access
<apritzel> because you can't remove the SD card and boot in FEL
<apritzel> because NOR flash is between SD and FEL in boot order
<apritzel> you can put in a magic SD card which drops you to FEL
<apritzel> but this code in SPL will check the state of the button and branch to 0x20 if it is pressed
<apritzel> so if you have this specially prepared SPL in the NOR flash, it acts like a FEL button
<tkaiser> apritzel: Now i understand, it's a software and not a hardware hack. I thought you're running around with solder iron in your hand ;)
<apritzel> tkaiser: I had my share of soldering for the month already with putting that SPI flash on the OPi Zero ;-)
<tkaiser> apritzel: But that's smart :)

<tkaiser> apritzel: The Pi Zero consumes almost nothing even under 'load'. I measures 800 mW with moronic sysbench test.
<rellla> nove: but it had cedarx already in the naming scheme list before?! I just added cedrus and put bothe to the top.
<apritzel> tkaiser: but that's only true for the BCM2835, right?
<tkaiser> apritzel: Sure. And what helps here is that the Zero saves the USB hub + Fast Ethernet thingie which consumes 360 mW alone while doing nothing

<nove> rellla: cedarx was there because of the usual confusion of how to name the hardware
<apritzel> tkaiser: neat little idea to use USB OTG as the interface. Slow, but clever
<tkaiser> apritzel: But way slower than Allwinner Android implementation! ;)
<rellla> nove: so lets just link cedarx and cedrus on top of the page with a small expanation and put the extended version to the specific sites?
<tkaiser> apritzel: OT deluxe: http://climbers.net/sbc/clusterhat-review-raspberry-pi-zero/ -- with 3.4 kernel and H3 boards you get twice as much. And most probably with mainline kernel gadget mode a lot more
<nove> rellla: yes, i think that is better if you agree
<rellla> nove: also i thought about a do-not-be-confused-about-mali-cedarx-cedrus-g2d-.... page anyway...
<rellla> But i don't know where it should be placed.
<rellla> nove: yes, agree
<nove> rellla: it can be in a new page with exactly that name
<rellla> :) i will try that tomorrow maybe.
<rellla> or something like a glossar page...
<nove> also cedarx or cedarc (whatever name it goes nowdays) is not just a driver but a full media framework
