05:32 <mifritscher> hmm, whats needs to be done to be included in https://mesamatrix.net/ ?

05:34 <mifritscher> presumly panfrost needs to be added to https://cgit.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/tree/docs/features.txt ?

06:18 <HdkR> Needs to get to the point that it is actually implementing extensions in that yes :P

09:24 <bbrezillon> tomeu, robher: should I send the perfmon patches directly to the ML or should I create a MR in gitlab first?

09:25 <bbrezillon> (not sure it's a good idea to send new patches before the panfrost driver has landed)

09:42 <robher> bbrezillon: ML. Fine to go ahead and send them so we can be ready to apply them once the driver lands.

09:42 <bbrezillon> robher: ok

09:42 <bbrezillon> alyssa: same for mesa patches?

14:06 <bbrezillon> tomeu: looks like the GPU hangs with your DVFS patch

14:06 <bbrezillon> anything I should in the DT

14:06 <bbrezillon> ?

14:31 <alyssa> bbrezillon: I prefer email for patches; just make sure to CC me or I won't see it :)

15:52 <Lyude> cwabbott: you don't happen have any contacts at valve who work on steam that might have a minute to take a look at some very low hanging fruit with the steam client, do you?

15:55 <alyssa> bbrezillon: Very nice work! :)

16:27 <milloni> hi everyone, i've been looking to learn about gpu drivers and i found out about panfrost from the collabora blog. as i understand panfrost is under heavy development

16:27 <milloni> if i want to contribute, where do i start?

16:30 <milloni> all i know so far is that panfrost is a driver for Mali-T880 GPUs, as i understand these are integrated GPUs for arm SoCs

16:30 <milloni> what kind of hardware should i get to hack on it? is there a recommended SoC?

16:42 <TheCycoONE> midgard/bitfrost - so technically the target includes T-6xx to T-8xx and GXX.

16:50 <milloni> TheCycoONE: ack, so - up to the newest mali GPUs?

16:50 <TheCycoONE> yes

16:50 <milloni> how does one get started? do i get something like http://www.lenovator.com/product/135.html

16:51 <urjaman> practically right now it (somewhat) runs on T760 and T8xx

16:51 <Lyude> mhm, if you are starting out I would go for a midgard system

16:51 <Lyude> we don't even have the compiler for bifrost working yet

16:51 <milloni> right, okay

16:52 <milloni> so when you're doing development on a midgard system, what board are you using?

16:53 <Lyude> I have a couple that I've been given from a few various companies, afaik the best experience usually is with the rk3399 SoCs/laptops, alyssa uses a kevin chromebook for their dev

16:53 <TheCycoONE> rk3288/rk3399 were the earliest targets, and she was using chromebooks

16:53 <Lyude> (or did-I don't remember if they changed systems)

16:53 <milloni> hmm okay

16:54 <TheCycoONE> socs would be cheaper for the same thing if you already have a setup for it

16:54 <TheCycoONE> e.g. rockpi4 for rk3399

16:54 <milloni> yes i just saw the prices for chromebooks..

16:56 <milloni> TheCycoONE: this one? https://wiki.radxa.com/Rockpi4

16:56 <milloni> it seems to have quite an extensive documentation \o/

16:58 <TheCycoONE> yeah, that one

17:04 <TheCycoONE> https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/3/14/97

17:09 <milloni> TheCycoONE: hmm sorry, what am i looking at here in this thread?

17:17 <TheCycoONE> mainstream kernel support in linux 5.2 for the gpu on the rockpi4. You might want that?

17:18 <alyssa> TheCycoONE: "mainline" is the word you're looking

17:18 <alyssa> The mainstream kernel is some vendor mess ;)

17:19 <TheCycoONE> :) Ubuntu something? good catch

17:24 <TheCycoONE> technically not merged into torvalds yet either

17:33 <bbrezillon> alyssa: thanks. Next goal is getting gallium-hud on the screen :)

17:34 <alyssa> bbrezillon: I mean, I would hope the next goal is cleaning up the few nitpicks and getting merged :)

17:49 <bbrezillon> yes, apart from that of course :)

18:01 <alyssa> :)

18:01 <TheCycoONE> alyssa: you're on a pedant role today

18:02 <alyssa> TheCycoONE: Aren't I always? :P
