| mkfx | hi hi! | 08:58 |
|---|---|---|
| dsc__ | morn | 09:04 |
| mkfx | Wizzup: I think I've found a A33 tablet clone, is it a good idea to buy it? | 09:05 |
| freemangordon | mkfx: I had to change the battery of my A33, and still have it booting with leste beowulf, was working quite nice | 09:31 |
| freemangordon | however, we need proper kernel | 09:31 |
| mkfx | do we use bsp? | 09:32 |
| freemangordon | sorry, it was quite a while ago, bsp? | 09:32 |
| freemangordon | ah, the kernel | 09:33 |
| freemangordon | don.t remember, really | 09:33 |
| freemangordon | I can try to dig what I have done back then | 09:33 |
| Wizzup | mkfx: depends, the nice thing is that we know we can make it work, the downside is that each a33 tablet can be a bit different, esp in display timing | 09:33 |
| Wizzup | we use mainline, not the bsp kernel, so you need to make your own dts | 09:33 |
| freemangordon | Wizzup: but it is quite easy to get them from android | 09:33 |
| Wizzup | sure, if you want to help | 09:34 |
| Wizzup | just trying to say that it won't be 'flash and it will work' | 09:34 |
| freemangordon | heh | 09:34 |
| freemangordon | he got disconnected | 09:34 |
| freemangordon | Wizzup: BTW, I see 6.12 in the repo | 09:35 |
| freemangordon | uvos did something, but it is not finished (and don;t compile either) | 09:35 |
| freemangordon | anyway, I am going to send patches for audio and motmdm serdev, I wonder if it is a good idea to try to have 6.12-omap | 09:36 |
| freemangordon | but based on letux kernel with whatever needed on top | 09:36 |
| freemangordon | unfortunately I don;t have a list of patches that are still needed, any idea? | 09:37 |
| sicelo | i'm glad to see sre merged 2/4 of my bq patches. one more just needs rewriting the commit message, and the last one ... not sure, but i guess it's waiting on someone's ack | 09:38 |
| freemangordon | yeah, good job :) | 09:39 |
| freemangordon | I wonder why noone responded to both mails I sent | 09:39 |
| freemangordon | christmas holidays perhaps | 09:39 |
| dsc__ | Wizzup: could we have my vkb repo separate from qt-maemo-plugin repo? because this is much easier in terms of development/debugging to have a standalone thing, also the input module would be standalone anyway even if moved to qmake @ maemo-plugin | 09:46 |
| dsc__ | im also not duplicating any functionality like enums/symbols because I include those from the hildon-input-method package | 09:47 |
| Wizzup | freemangordon: not sure @ 6.12 and what uvos did or didn't do | 09:48 |
| Wizzup | dsc__: would prefer it in the same repo but no strong opinions either way | 09:48 |
| Wizzup | do you mean the debug cycle is faster because of the build time, or? | 09:48 |
| Wizzup | I think it would be a separate .so regardless, even if it is in qt-maemo-platform repo | 09:49 |
| dsc__ | CMake integrates into the IDE | 09:49 |
| freemangordon | I gues he tried, but gave-up because audio patches are not trivial to port | 09:49 |
| Wizzup | oh, the qt-platform-maemo is qmake? | 09:49 |
| dsc__ | it is yeah | 09:49 |
| freemangordon | however, I am talking about other patches, not mine | 09:50 |
| Wizzup | dsc__: ok, like I said, no strong opinions, we can add additional pkgs to the meta pkgs | 09:50 |
| Wizzup | freemangordon: ok | 09:50 |
| dsc__ | thanks! | 09:50 |
| freemangordon | so, besides my patches and pvr ones, do we have a list of what else is needed? | 09:50 |
| dsc__ | Wizzup: so please make a repo @ maemo-leste, also CI, ill make a debian package | 09:51 |
| dsc__ | :P | 09:51 |
| * freemangordon reboots his d4 into 6.12.y | 09:51 | |
| Wizzup | freemangordon: maybe just check whatever we apply on our current kernel | 09:52 |
| Wizzup | I think there's a bunch | 09:52 |
| freemangordon | heh, thanks :p | 09:52 |
| Wizzup | patches for droid3 | 09:52 |
| Wizzup | other dts changes | 09:52 |
| freemangordon | I know I can check | 09:52 |
| Wizzup | builddeb pkg changes | 09:52 |
| tmlind | freemangordon: plain mainline v6.12 behaved on d4 for me when i tried for minimal features | 09:52 |
| Wizzup | freemangordon: I can try to make a list later, in a few hours | 09:53 |
| tmlind | best to set up various topic branches, easier to rebase them | 09:53 |
| freemangordon | tmlind: I am trying openpvrsgx | 09:53 |
| tmlind | freemangordon: ok we only have a few pm related patches on top | 09:53 |
| freemangordon | tmlind: behaved == didn;t work properly? | 09:53 |
| tmlind | worked as expected | 09:53 |
| freemangordon | does not boot here with no sign of life :( | 09:54 |
| tmlind | for uart, wlan, pm and basic devices | 09:54 |
| tmlind | hmm what do you mean it does not boot? wrong command line or something? | 09:54 |
| tmlind | or maybe the lcd? mine is in a rack, can't check the lcd.. | 09:55 |
| freemangordon | I replaced zImage and copied modules | 09:55 |
| freemangordon | this is d4 that boots with 6.6 | 09:55 |
| tmlind | do you have uart access? | 09:55 |
| freemangordon | I think yes :). | 09:55 |
| freemangordon | lemme try to find the critter | 09:55 |
| freemangordon | should I have to do anything special from USB uart? | 09:57 |
| freemangordon | like special key combo or something? | 09:57 |
| freemangordon | screen /dev/ttyUSB0 is enough, right? | 09:58 |
| freemangordon | yeah, baudrate | 10:00 |
| tmlind | you need to have a 3.3V ftdi usb uart cable, it's not usb uart, remuxed to uart | 10:00 |
| tmlind | wiring info at http://muru.com/linux/d4/ | 10:01 |
| freemangordon | I have it | 10:01 |
| tmlind | ah ok yeah then on your pc it will appear as a /dev/ttyUSB port | 10:01 |
| freemangordon | [ 0.031768] printk: legacy bootconsole [omap8250] disabled | 10:01 |
| freemangordon | that's the last | 10:01 |
| freemangordon | can I get shell from there? | 10:02 |
| tmlind | do you have console=ttyS2,115200 in the kernel cmdline? | 10:06 |
| freemangordon | no idea, I just did make omap2plus_defconfig, lemme check | 10:07 |
| tmlind | should show up on the kernel logs early on if you get any output | 10:08 |
| gnarface | i think you also will have to uncomment a line in the /etc/inittab | 10:08 |
| tmlind | ah yeah | 10:08 |
| gnarface | (and set the right baud rate, as the examples are 9600 | 10:08 |
| gnarface | ) | 10:08 |
| freemangordon | ugh, why ubuntu18 does not auto-mount usb devices?!? | 10:08 |
| gnarface | it doesn't? i couldn't get UT to stop doing it... | 10:09 |
| freemangordon | oh, it is 20 | 10:09 |
| freemangordon | not 18 | 10:09 |
| freemangordon | I forgot I made one more dist-upgrade :) | 10:09 |
| gnarface | only thing that comes to mind about that is to make sure you have udisks2 installed | 10:09 |
| gnarface | that should at least add the ability, but the actual trigger to do it automatically might be a window manager level thing | 10:10 |
| freemangordon | well, I did few dist-upgrade cycles from 14.4 to 20.4 a week or so ago | 10:10 |
| freemangordon | not really sure what survived :) | 10:10 |
| freemangordon | ok, lemme reboot my PC, maybe some upgrade broke it | 10:13 |
| freemangordon | ok, that's crazy, normal flash drive is automounted, but uSD USB is not | 10:20 |
| sicelo | maybe there's udev or some other rule, automounting /dev/sd*. the usd usb might be named something else, e.g. mmcblk* | 10:22 |
| freemangordon | it appears as scsi disk | 10:23 |
| freemangordon | "[sdc] Attached SCSI removable disk" | 10:24 |
| sicelo | weird indeed | 10:35 |
| freemangordon | ugh, I have udisks installed alongside udisks2 | 11:24 |
| mkf | okay, i'll buy that tablet. :-) | 11:33 |
| mkf | hopefully it works out of the box | 11:33 |
| freemangordon | ok, PEBKAC, it seems back in 2014 I created udev rule to ignore /dev/sdc1 etc partitions :D | 11:50 |
| freemangordon | tmlind: CONFIG_CMDLINE="root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 rootwait console=ttyO2,115200" | 11:57 |
| freemangordon | gnarface: what line in inittab? | 12:15 |
| sicelo | coming to bite you 10 years later ;p | 12:16 |
| freemangordon | getty on serial ? | 12:16 |
| freemangordon | sicelo: yeah | 12:16 |
| freemangordon | ugh, now I cannot boot from uSD card anymore, what the? | 12:28 |
| freemangordon | boot partition is empty :( | 12:33 |
| gnarface | freemangordon: you don't see this in yours? https://paste.debian.net/1340771/ | 12:41 |
| gnarface | like i said, may have to also be edited though | 12:41 |
| freemangordon | yes, I see, but it seems I nuked /boot while trying to fix automount not working | 12:41 |
| gnarface | woops | 12:42 |
| freemangordon | yeah | 12:42 |
| freemangordon | well, better boot than / :) | 12:42 |
| Wizzup | freemangordon: should that be O2 still? | 12:51 |
| freemangordon | no idea | 12:51 |
| Wizzup | also I think first console= is what is picked up (or last) | 12:52 |
| freemangordon | that's in upstream omap2plus_defconfig | 12:52 |
| Wizzup | also config cmdline is overriden by kexecboot/leste no | 12:52 |
| freemangordon | in a minute will know | 12:52 |
| freemangordon | perhaps | 12:52 |
| freemangordon | where is that? | 12:52 |
| Wizzup | user@maindroid:~$ cat /proc/cmdline | 12:52 |
| Wizzup | console=tty0 fbcon=rotate:1 debug earlycon ro rootwait rootfstype=ext4 root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 softlevel=charge-mode | 12:52 |
| freemangordon | oh | 12:53 |
| freemangordon | how to edit that? | 12:53 |
| Wizzup | from /boot/boot/boot.cfg or something | 12:53 |
| freemangordon | ok | 12:53 |
| Wizzup | edit the .cfg file | 12:53 |
| Wizzup | /boot/boot | 12:53 |
| Wizzup | /boot/boot/zImage | 12:53 |
| Wizzup | /boot/boot/boot.cfg | 12:53 |
| Wizzup | /boot/boot/omap4-droid4-xt894.dtb | 12:53 |
| freemangordon | there is emergency shell it seems | 12:53 |
| freemangordon | lemme try it | 12:54 |
| freemangordon | cpcap-led oopses | 13:04 |
| freemangordon | https://pastebin.com/iAyEmSWg | 13:04 |
| dsc__ | ok, it is time for a dist-upgrade. historically speaking this has always resulted in complete system breakdown, wish me luck | 13:17 |
| dsc__ | nvm I survived it | 13:26 |
| freemangordon | Wizzup: got leste booting with 6.12.y, no patches applied whatsoever | 14:06 |
| freemangordon | TS does not work though | 14:06 |
| freemangordon | I guess I have to enable some driver | 14:06 |
| Wizzup | freemangordon: no pvr then? | 14:24 |
| freemangordon | with pvr | 14:24 |
| freemangordon | I meant - without our patches | 14:24 |
| freemangordon | from linux_openpvrsgx repo | 14:24 |
| freemangordon | it is upstream + pvr | 14:24 |
| freemangordon | should be | 14:25 |
| Wizzup | ah,ok | 14:25 |
| Wizzup | great, progress | 14:25 |
| freemangordon | yeah, but can;t find why TS does not work | 14:26 |
| Wizzup | I will be offline for ~3 hours from now, but then I have the weekend off | 14:26 |
| Wizzup | hm... is it probed? | 14:26 |
| freemangordon | yes | 14:26 |
| freemangordon | but xinput does not list it | 14:26 |
| freemangordon | but, there is entry in /dev/input | 14:26 |
| Wizzup | maybe it's blacklisted | 14:26 |
| Wizzup | oh yeah that's it | 14:26 |
| freemangordon | hmm? | 14:27 |
| Wizzup | uvos has this additional ts patch for make the ts buttons work | 14:27 |
| Wizzup | so we blacklist the main ts | 14:27 |
| freemangordon | ah | 14:27 |
| freemangordon | ok | 14:27 |
| freemangordon | will pull it | 14:27 |
| freemangordon | later on | 14:27 |
| freemangordon | or tomorrow | 14:27 |
| Wizzup | we probably want to just pull all our patches later | 14:27 |
| Wizzup | sure :) | 14:27 |
| freemangordon | yeah, but I want h-d working | 14:27 |
| freemangordon | and anyway, we want that patch I guess | 14:27 |
| Wizzup | yeah, we do | 14:28 |
| Wizzup | we can look at reducing patches later I think | 14:28 |
| freemangordon | no, I want to do that now | 14:28 |
| freemangordon | to make a kind of clean start | 14:28 |
| freemangordon | to see what is obsolete etc | 14:28 |
| freemangordon | and to send what we still need for upstreaming | 14:28 |
| freemangordon | at least part of ot | 14:29 |
| freemangordon | *it | 14:29 |
| freemangordon | like I wonder if uvos sent cpcap charger ramping patch | 14:29 |
| Wizzup | ok, I don't think the patches we carry are really a burden, but sure | 14:31 |
| freemangordon | audio patches are | 14:33 |
| mkf | is it a bad idea to buy u1 a1 sdcards? | 14:47 |
| mkf | i seen it mentioned in the wiki, but are they that slow? | 14:47 |
| arno11 | mkf: it really depends how it performs with small blocks | 14:48 |
| mkf | how to check? | 14:48 |
| arno11 | you can check online benchmarking before buying one | 14:49 |
| mkf | since in theory A1 should work good for random I/O with small blocks | 14:49 |
| arno11 | maybe but in practice, that's another story | 14:49 |
| mkf | hm, okay. thank you. | 14:50 |
| gnarface | they don't all actually have small blocks in hardware, some of them have 4k blocks | 14:50 |
| gnarface | they usually don't tell you the native block size on the package though i don't think, you have to do your research | 14:50 |
| freemangordon | Wizzup: any idea what is this https://github.com/maemo-leste/droid4-linux/commit/6a90c8b0b78c69a324c47470f758f753ad350606 ? | 16:09 |
| sicelo | freemangordon: do you think i need to do anything here, https://marc.info/?l=linux-pm&m=173255762016541&w=2 ? e.g. reply? | 17:24 |
| sicelo | or it's just a matter of waiting for krzk to find time to reply? Since sre replied to the other patches, I'm guessing he skipped this one because of this uncertainty :-/ | 17:25 |
| * sicelo also starts thinking the use of Fixes: tag here may have been incorrect | 17:27 | |
| mkfx | hi again | 17:40 |
| mkfx | sorry for flooding this channel with questions | 17:46 |
| mkfx | apparently it's A23 and not A33 | 17:46 |
| mkfx | would leste boot on it (without singnificant changes)? | 17:46 |
| mkfx | Wizzup, freemangordon : ^ | 17:47 |
| Wizzup | mkfx: as stated, a33 is just the soc, most tablets are all different require special device trees and treatment | 18:56 |
| Wizzup | this depends on what you call significant | 18:56 |
| Wizzup | freemangordon: not apart from the commit msg | 18:56 |
| mkf | thank you | 22:10 |
