gnarfaceagneli: i've got issues with firefox memory leaks all the time on every architecture and every version for the past decade and a half or so, i just try not to leave it running anymore when i'm done with it.22:36
* rrq still looking for a way to have my aarch64 h/w boot an aarch32 kernel...23:03
gnarfacerrq: did you dig around in the menuconfig settings? maybe you have to set something in there too23:19
rrqI haven't found any boot variant to boot aarch32; I might have to invent my own.23:31
rrqI've come as far as to isolating the missing assembly snippet23:32
gnarfacei'm sure i did it accidentally once, maybe with a pre-built copy of u-boot stock on my pinebook, but i'm sure it's possible23:32
gnarfacei guess the details may be board specific...23:32
rrqwell, the assembly involves 'exception level' transition into the aarch32 execution... actually maybe it's something with the dtb(?)23:34
rrqso may wheels within wheels :)23:34
rrqI meant that maybe u-boot does the transition but then the kernel gets upset iwth the arm64-compiled dtb23:35
gnarfaceit's over my head, but aiui, yes the dtb is where hardware-specific parts go23:44
gnarfaceso that would make sense23:44
gnarfacei forget, are you using the exact right dtb for your board or just one similar?23:44
onefangdtb is device table if I recall.23:44
rrqyes the exact one sun50i-h6-orangepi-3-lts.dtb23:46
rrqyes "dtb" means "device tree blob" which is a compile from one or more "dts"23:48
gnarfacesomeone around here must know what the trick is23:49
rrqhmm my dtb isn't on denx.de/u-boot/u-boot.git master branch23:53
rrqit has only sun50i-h6-orangepi-3 and not sun50i-h6-orangepi-3-lts23:54
