stikonas: what distro are you running on your rockpro64?
<Ashy>
i've still only tried ayufan's bionic lxde image so far
<Ashy>
if i try his newer kernel images it won't boot, havent managed to get his extlinux instructions to successfully show me a boot menu either yet
<Ashy>
i'm still finding my way around arm, somewhat confusing with uboot etc compared to x86 where you just boot whatever installer from 6Million different distros/bsds...
<stikonas>
Ashy: gentoo
<stikonas>
Ashy: I managed to boot newer kernels using UEFI
<stikonas>
(and grub for convenience)
<Ashy>
ah nice
<stikonas>
I'm not feeling well now (probably food poisoned), I'll go to sleep. maybe ask me some other time

<Ashy>
aww, hope s/he's ok
<Ashy>
i was also going to ask if anyone has tested an nvme drive in their rockpro64 yet
<Ashy>
i bought the pci adaptor for it but havent bought another nvme drive yet
<TheCycoONE>
alyssa: do you know if 4.4.168 fixes the black screen boot issues from 4.4.166?
<TheCycoONE>
to answer my own question: no
<alyssa>
TheCycoONE: Ni idea

Lyude: Let you know as well. I plan to start doing more tomorrow. My goal is to get some sort of codegen andd visuals working before the 7th of Jan
<alyssa>
HdkR: Codegen *and* visuals? Ambitious
<HdkR>
Even if it is super hacky stuff for testing :P
<alyssa>
HdkR: Hint: do just codegen. It'll take you to the 7th
<HdkR>
hah
<alyssa>
But if you can get reasonable shaders (fragment first, then vertex -- I can help with the latter) totally compiling
<HdkR>
Will see how far I get :
<alyssa>
You'll be in a really good spot for cmdstream portion
<alyssa>
Which I can help with but is a mammoth task in and of itself
<alyssa>
And Connor's the only one who's been paying a lot of attn to that
<alyssa>
I recommend against doing cmdstream first; that's a formula for frustration tbh :p
<HdkR>
oo, frustration is the best
<alyssa>
Pff
<HdkR>
Gives time to first triangle a whole new meaning
<alyssa>
I envy you not

Ashy: on rockpro64 I think in principle it would be possible to write u-boot to SPI flash which boots from ESP partition and then it would be much more similar to x86_64...
<stikonas>
I think even device tree file can be passed from u-boot to kernel

i've already got the pci adaptor and ordered a samsung nvme today

Ashy: no, I didn't try. I have a spare SSD M.2 drive though, but no adapter
<stikonas>
Ashy: but I think you can't boot it directly via u-boot
<stikonas>
so I think /boot partition has to be on eMMC
<stikonas>
hopefully pci adaptor is faster than eMMC
<stikonas>
I guess you won't get full performance of NVMe
<stikonas>
maybe 80 MB/s

I'll run some phoronix benchmarks when the nvme arrives

Good news y'all
<alyssa>
I went ahead and implemented some basic memory management for textures
<alyssa>
So now our memory footprint is only, like, 50% as terrible as before ^_^
<alyssa>
Following patchset will deal with the other 50% ;)

Oh look, changes
<alyssa>
I'm making mooore changes
<alyssa>
Building on the code from that commit to do proper memory management (with pooling) of the transient cmdstreams
<alyssa>
Which will -also- help a lot with shtuff
<alyssa>
Shtuff = our memory footprint and crashiness
<Lyude>
hooray
<Lyude>
!
<alyssa>
:)
<alyssa>
New transient stuff is also showing signs of life

HdkR: btw; what day do you think you're going to try to get started on the Bifrost stuff?
<HdkR>
Today
<Lyude>
HdkR: what can I help with right now then? I don't have access to my bifrost system right now (wasn't expecting to need it over vacation)
<HdkR>
Not sure yet. I'm assuming the first few days will be figuring out the structure of the source and making sure we can build the Midgard and Bifrost portions at the same time
<Lyude>
I would imagine so
interface{} is now known as empty_string

<Lyude>
if you don't have the time to answer that though that's ok

i'm having trouble getting anything running with the winsys on the vim2 still :s
<Lyude>
it sounded like all of the problems with this should have been fixed already
