hanetzer: TL;DR robher did some work upstream, so now instead of a giant list of "rockchip meson exynos..." it's just "kmsro" and that can do whatever
<stikonas>
if you have another card, you might need a similar patch
<hanetzer>
stikonas: there is something close to that in rk3399-gru.dtsi
<hanetzer>
except its mali-supply = <&ppvar_gpu>
<mearon>
sorry for the beginner question. is it (relatively) easy to try out panfrost on a chromebook plus (rk3399)? I run ArchlinuxARM with the mainline kernel but never compiled linux / any modules myself...
<alyssa>
mearon: Panfrost isn't really ready for general use / playing with
<mearon>
alright, thanks.
<alyssa>
mearon: Expect that answer to change in the near future, tho ;)
<mearon>
*.* =) happy hacking in the meanwhile!
<alyssa>
Thank you!
<alyssa>
Working on a patch to get the standalone Midgard shader toolchain working against vanilla upstream
<alyssa>
(FWIW, that means "userspace is frozen for a few days until we can get stuff moved around", but I'm the one who does much in userspace anyway so I don't think anyone cares? :P)

Trying to figure out how much, if any, of the cmdstream stuff I want to include in this series
<alyssa>
Since regardless of how much, it'll be inoperable due to lack of kernel

alyssa: Nice
jolan has joined #panfrost
<alyssa>
Actually, no, the cmdstream stuff is way too complicated... thinking of just sending the first two out tonight and seeing what happens
* alyssa
is slightly worried sending off the patch will make premature noise on social media but I digress
<alyssa>
If nobody has objections, it'll be sent off as soon as I finish recompiling Mesa (just to be 100% sure nothing broke since, uh, last night :P)

alyssa: you don't happen to know if anyone is working on fbo's yet?
<alyssa>
raster: No update since the last time you asked ;P
<raster>
no one working on it tho - not if it's done... but if it's underway...
<alyssa>
raster: It's on my todo list. I'm just concentrating on other parts of the stack right now, so it hasn't come up quite yet
<raster>
got it
<raster>
so maybe i or someone else could figure it out and take it off the todo for you :)
<raster>
any pointers on which bit of mesa to look at?
<alyssa>
If I knew I'd know how to do it myself ;)
<raster>
oh
<raster>
hahaha
<raster>
ok
<alyssa>
But there's quite a bit of magic in, e.g. set_framebuffer_state, etc
<raster>
need to find out then...
<HdkR>
alyssa: I see Larabel has already gotten an article :)

Nice, pinebook pro announcement
<HdkR>
Looks really nice
<anarsoul>
for $199!
<anarsoul>
I'm really excited
<HdkR>
Seems like a really good choice for Panfrost midgard dev :D
<anarsoul>
yeah
<davidlt>
just saw in on twitter
<davidlt>
finally! took a year
<hanetzer>
huh. you know, chromeos on the kevin is 32-bit arm
<hanetzer>
nifty @pinebook pro. Would be funny to port chromeos to it :P
* hanetzer
considers registering on pine forums for the 128gb upgrade :>
<anarsoul>
who needs chromeos if you can run linux?
<hanetzer>
anarsoul: 'needs' is not a concern in that thought. Just a 'can I do it?' challenge/question :)
<anarsoul>
I see
jernej has quit [Ping timeout: 268 seconds]
<hanetzer>
ah, pinebook uses u-boot?
<anarsoul>
yes
<anarsoul>
hanetzer: why?
<hanetzer>
just curious. as of right now I'm only aware of two boot solutions (aside from vendorware) for rk3399 devices, coreboot and u-boot, and was wondering which was used :)
<davidlt>
I can make some pictures of Pinebook Pro
<hanetzer>
honestly though, I rather like my kevin; would be interesting to yank some stuff from chromeos's build system and start rolling binary images for it from gentoo
<hanetzer>
davidlt: oh? are you with those guys?
<davidlt>
I will be spending most of Saturday in the same building
<davidlt>
Nah, at FOSDEM
<hanetzer>
ah kk.
<davidlt>
RISC-V devroom is in the same building
<davidlt>
so I can snap some photos & videos of the prototype if you are interested
<hanetzer>
sure. it looks to be more of a 'traditional laptop' than kevin eh?
<davidlt>
yeah
<davidlt>
incl. M.2 SSD support
<urjaman>
yeah i looked up the specs and my response was essentially that it's too big for me but looks like a nice laptop (and i'd still kinda want it because BLACK)
<hanetzer>
is that nvme or just sata?
<urjaman>
NVMe is what i read
<davidlt>
their SBC use NVMe
<davidlt>
there are 4 PCIe lanes, I don't know if it's 2x or 4x for M.2
<anarsoul>
my guess it'll be rockpro64 with LCD in one case
<davidlt>
most likely 2x would be enough for this device
* urjaman
should still disassemble the C201s and make one of them black and silver instead of blue and silver...
<davidlt>
+ keyboard + battery
<anarsoul>
yeah
<HdkR>
2x is fine for a $200 device
<HdkR>
Make sure to stick a $250 1TB 970 Evo Pro in to it
<HdkR>
er, Evo Plus even
<anarsoul>
:D
<hanetzer>
yeah. would be interesting to disassemble kevin to its frame and get it black anodized if possible
<hanetzer>
oh, and apparently using 'linux on chromeos' makes use of xwayland
<urjaman>
yes
<urjaman>
i havent actually used that (since they didnt really ship it for the C201... havent checked in a while) but i did compile the wayland "proxy" server that allows using the inside-container Xwayland to eventually talk to the ChromeOS wayland compositor
<urjaman>
whatever it was named ...
<urjaman>
sommelier
<urjaman>
since i last ran my userspace arch "container" on CrOS they've added more security features to break it
<urjaman>
that's both the most amazing thing and the most annoying thing about CrOS at the same time: built like a tank inside of a tank inside of a tank
<hanetzer>
yep. the more secure a system is, the less user friendly it is :P
<Lyude>
ironically
<Lyude>
the less user friendly system is, the less practically secure it is :)
<hanetzer>
like, to 'hack proof' a system, air gapping it is great. however, how will I view the youtubes if I'm not online?
<HdkR>
The more secure it is, the more likely someone is just going to wipe it and sell it on Ebay
<hanetzer>
yep. but, at least they don't get your private datas :)
