Hey guys
- [12:00:09] * HeinervdmOff (~zimmerman@hsaggate.physik.uni-bonn.de) has joined #pandaboard
- [12:00:22] <joe_>
Just trying to get a syslink hello world running on pandaboard with ubuntu
- [12:01:07] <joe_>
have a test file with Ipc_Config config; which compiles fine but when I do
- [12:01:21] <joe_>
Ipc_getConfig (&config); I get the following error
- [12:01:34] <joe_>
undefined reference to `Ipc_getConfig'
- [12:01:36] <joe_>
from the linker
- [12:02:11] <joe_>
both Ipc_Config and Ipc_getConfig seem to be defined in IpcUsr.h
- [12:02:34] <joe_>
so it looks like I might be missing a library?

dioxin, try HDMI instead
- [13:12:53] <dioxin>
nothing is outputting to either
- [13:13:26] <ogra_>
it should have a login prompt by default (at least after the installation via serial is fully completed)

where is the output controlled tho? say if I wanted to change the resolution or something?
- [13:16:11] <ogra_>
not sure you can easily control it for console ... probably by using fbset, not sure
- [13:16:34] <ogra_>
usually the driver reads the EDID of the monitor and picks the highest available res.

not sure they still work ... ask robclark or rsalveti ;)
- [13:17:37] <LetoThe2nd>
just judging from x86
- [13:17:50] <ogra_>
they used to work in very earlxy iterations of the driver
- [13:18:21] <ogra_>
not the vga= ones but the hdmimode= stuff thats somewheer on the omappedia wiki

ah kay

:) yeah sorry guys, I'm diving in a little deep with the Pandaboard learning x86 and ARM ubuntu from scratch for the most part :(
- [13:28:55] <LetoThe2nd>
_av500_: "running wild" as the metal band? ;)
- [13:28:59] <dioxin>
basic commandline stuff is all I got to work with :)
- [13:29:11] <LetoThe2nd>
dioxin: time to learn then.
- [13:29:32] <dioxin>
yup yup
- [13:30:03] <dioxin>
and I probably havent chosen the easiest of tasks.... seeing if its possible to get a Backtrack environment running on the Pandaboard :D

dioxin: i'm, on the other hand, pretty sure that unless the funny backtrack project doesn't provide arm port repos, your task will fail dues to your non-understanding of instruction set differences. ;)
- [13:32:46] <LetoThe2nd>
s/doesn't/does/
- [13:33:02] <dioxin>
I fully understand the differences in the instruction sets :)
- [13:33:24] <dioxin>
luckily Backtrack has Arm ports for the ARMv7 which the Pandaboard runs off
- [13:33:32] <LetoThe2nd>
ah yes.
- [13:33:54] <dioxin>
I also have the repos locked loaded and the public keys working
- [13:34:08] <LetoThe2nd>
is totally enlightened that finally we have the most beloved script kiddie distribution also on the panda. time to celebrate indeed.
- [13:34:22] <dioxin>
its not quite on the Panda yet :D
- [13:34:54] <dioxin>
I tried to use the img they provided but it failed miserably due to lack of the OMAP4 parts
- [13:35:19] <dioxin>
you probably want to worry when someone ports it to the RaspberryPi :D
- [13:35:43] <LetoThe2nd>
dioxin: totally not because that ones armv5 and ubuntu doesn't support it.

- [13:38:14] <dioxin>
(although I think someone at Canonical built a PandaFarm for compiling, not much of a stretch for R-Pi too)
- [13:38:31] <LetoThe2nd>
dioxin: its certainly not impossible, but anyone capable he probably enough knowledge to be not interested into backtrack anymore, and even if he/she is then he/she is at least worth using it afterwards.

ubuntu for armv5 wont happen, so r-pi wont happen
- [13:41:51] <ogra_>
unless someone really does it at home ... but for r-pi users the general recommendation is: "use debian"
- [13:41:55] <dioxin>
r-pi isnt dependent on Ubuntu
- [13:41:56] <koen>
r-pi is armv6
- [13:42:12] <ogra_>
well, ubuntu for armv6 wont happen either :)

crosscompilers or a R-Pi farm would certainly ease the task
- [13:44:05] <ogra_>
there are crosscompilers in ubuntu
- [13:44:21] <dioxin>
for armv6?
- [13:44:26] <ogra_>
doesnt help you much beyond compiling something unpackaged from source though
- [13:44:33] <ogra_>
no, for v7 indeed
- [13:45:25] <ogra_>
ubuntu doesnt support any pre-v7 stuff anywhere anymore
- [13:45:32] <ogra_>
and wont go back
- [13:45:55] <ogra_>
next stop is a15 ... and then armv8
- [13:46:03] <dioxin>
dependent on the popularity of R-Pi they might change their opinion

we wont :)

- [13:48:57] <rsalveti>
don't see porting it to armv5/6 as a problem
- [13:49:06] <mru>
and any arm compiler can compile for armv6 as well as v7

it's just a matter of flags

rsalveti, apart from resources and infrastructure

only issue is that the archive will still be incompatible

Hi, anybody knows why the FAQ ( http://omappedia.org/wiki/PandaBoard_FAQ#Where_can_I_buy_OMAP_4_platform_silicon.2Fdevices.3F ) says that's OMAP4 is not intended for "non-mobile" equipment ?
- [13:53:12] <_av500_>
BobLeRenard: because it wants to be free
- [13:53:21] <_av500_>
not shackled to a power cord
- [13:53:35] <_av500_>
so it has to be movin' movin'

rockin' rollin'
- [13:53:47] <LetoThe2nd>

- [13:54:21] <dioxin>
BobleRenard, its probably due to the way the chip is designed, it aint exactly a processing powerhouse
- [13:55:22] <mru>
no, it's all about how it is _sold_
- [13:55:37] <dioxin>
would anyone here sanely use the Pandaboard as a full desktop environment ?
- [13:55:43] <LetoThe2nd>
BobLeRenard: now think a bit about under what faq point this is written, and you might come to the conlusion that "not for non-mobile" should be read as "not for companies we do not want to sell to, and that will be anything not high-volume and mobile in most cases."
- [13:55:48] <mru>
if you buy a million chips, they do not care what you do with them
- [13:56:13] <ogra_>
dioxin, i use something similar for my day to day work (a tegra2 laptop)
- [13:56:29] <mru>
dioxin: I would not
- [13:56:30] <ogra_>
it is *possible* but requires a certain amount of masochism
- [13:56:57] <dioxin>
hence the questioning of sanity ;)
- [13:57:00] <mru>
sure, it's faster than the laptop I had 5 years ago
- [13:57:02] <ogra_>
and that your day to day work doesnt require more than 20 browser tabs :)
- [13:57:56] <mru>
so if you're content to run 5y old software, it'll probably be ok
- [13:57:57] <dioxin>
btw guys cheers for the help with the SD Card imaging of snapshots ;) it works
- [13:58:07] <_av500_>

you get a funky paperweight

in the minimum quantity it sure is

mru: +1
- [14:18:47] <dioxin>
I wonder what the minimum quantity is....
- [14:19:10] <mru>
not less than 100k, possibly more
- [14:19:18] <dioxin>
pretty sure its much higher than the quantity of Pandaboards....
- [14:19:22] <LetoThe2nd>
dioxin: rumour is ranging around 500k to 1000k per anno usually.
- [14:20:05] <LetoThe2nd>
might be less if your product is super cool and selected by ti sales, but in general thats the range AFAIK.

- [14:39:37] <ogra_>
unity-2d is pretty lightweight already
- [14:39:46] <dioxin>
(gnome vs xfce or soemthing)
- [14:39:54] <ogra_>
and its not causing the actual slowness you will see
- [14:40:01] <ogra_>
SD cards are
- [14:40:43] <dioxin>
i presume that using a usb HDD wouldnt help performance=
- [14:40:51] <dioxin>
?*
- [14:40:52] <ogra_>
it does
- [14:41:23] <ogra_>
in fact (since ubuntu focuses more on arm server atm) we only use USB HDDs for server testing atm
- [14:41:25] <earl-ger>
usb 2.0 ssd
- [14:41:38] <ogra_>
what would an SSD gain you
- [14:41:42] <earl-ger>
would be considerable for mobile applications
- [14:41:45] <ogra_>
apart from being expensive
- [14:41:50] <LetoThe2nd>
ogra_: its way ,pre cool!
- [14:41:57] <LetoThe2nd>
more.
- [14:41:58] <ogra_>
heh
- [14:42:22] <noname^^>
an ssd will gain you loads obv
- [14:42:37] <dioxin>
isnt it still limited by usb 2.0 ?
- [14:42:45] <ogra_>
noname^^, in what way ?
- [14:42:50] <ogra_>
dioxin, exactly :)
- [14:42:52] <noname^^>
perceived performance
- [14:42:59] <LetoThe2nd>
rice factor.
- [14:43:00] <earl-ger>
yes but compare it to a small 2,5' hdd
- [14:43:12] <noname^^>
it's still super low latency compared to an ssd
- [14:43:16] <ogra_>
noname^^, so how do you squeeze more than 24MB/s out of USB 2.0 with an SSD ?
- [14:43:36] <earl-ger>
ok convinced...just an idea :D
- [14:43:45] <noname^^>
I'm sure it can do at least 50MB/s
- [14:43:49] <noname^^>
if you just have a mouse on there
- [14:43:59] <noname^^>
but I said latency, not bandwidth
- [14:44:02] <LetoThe2nd>
noname^^: thats all true once the link from disk to cpu/ram is way faster than your disk latency. that does not necessarily hold true for the omaps usb 2.0 controller...
- [14:44:04] <ogra_>
you want to have a mouse with builtin SSD ?
- [14:44:08] <noname^^>
ssd's are just... ugh
- [14:44:20] <noname^^>
ogra_, the mouse is also on the USB bus
- [14:44:32] <earl-ger>
yes...and the mouse uses loads of bandwith
- [14:44:33] <noname^^>
LetoThe2nd, true
- [14:44:37] <noname^^>
I haven't tried it
- [14:44:39] <earl-ger>
;-)
- [14:44:40] <noname^^>
has anyone?
- [14:44:51] <noname^^>
earl-ger, it saturates the bus
- [14:45:04] <earl-ger>
yea
- [14:45:15] <noname^^>
but as long as you're not using like a network card or something on there I'm sure it'll be fine
- [14:45:30] <dioxin>

hey guys did anyone get x-server to run on his pandaboard on gentoo, with either omapfb or pvr-omap4 drivers? i tried the omapfb way but get a "no screens found" error ?
- [16:19:17] * JackyAlcine (~desktop@sii/jackyalcine) has joined #pandaboard
- [16:20:21] <Crnkoj>
or for that matter did anyone get x-server to run on anything but ubuntu?
- [16:20:51] <dioxin>
I currently have the no screens found, and I'm working to find out what the ubuntu settings are to get it running
- [16:20:59] <dioxin>
xorg -configure gave me nothing
- [16:21:21] <troffmo5_>
with arch i had no success
- [16:21:26] <Crnkoj>
dioxin, i see i checked into ubuntu aswell, there is such a mess
- [16:21:57] <Crnkoj>
i even have a very hard time compiling the kernel on the pandaboard from the gentoo omap4 kernel sources
- [16:22:17] <Crnkoj>
seeing issues i have managed to circumvent with the ubuntu kernel sources and compiling on my pc
- [16:22:28] <troffmo5_>
Crnkoj, where did u get pvr-omap4 drivers ?
- [16:22:59] <Crnkoj>

troffmo5_, they are in the pandaboard overlay for linux (i think armin76 is maintaining it), but i dont think they are hardfloat yet, while my system is hardfloat, thats why i did not try them
- [16:23:54] <Crnkoj>
thats why i try getting omapfb to use
- [16:24:34] <dioxin>
I'm currently working from an ubuntu server environment trying to get a gnome session running

troffmo5_, yes, a few days ago one of the guys here said they have hardfloat pvr-omap4 drivers and are testing them, just need to release them (for ubuntu at least)
- [16:27:03] <prpplague>
ron_frown: you get your package?
- [16:27:42] <troffmo5_>
why are they not officially distributed by TI?
- [16:28:23] <Crnkoj>
troffmo5_, i dont know you might have to ask TI about that :) but i guess they will be soon

they are done by TI in the ubuntu omap4 PPA

- [16:35:46] <ogra_>
that doesnt need an xorg.conf
- [16:36:04] <Crnkoj>
Humpelstilzchen, i have a hardfloat gentoo system, evreything runs great, but well x-server gives me the no screen found error, adn i think there is no hardfloat pvr-omap4 for gentoo yet
- [16:36:05] <ogra_>
in fact xorg should just use it if its there
- [16:36:29] <Crnkoj>
let me pastebin the log
- [16:36:37] <ogra_>
do you want to use omapfb or pvr ?
- [16:36:43] <Humpelstilzchen>
Crnkoj: And what kernel is that? I had problems with one linaro kernel to start xorg
- [16:37:33] <Crnkoj>
Humpelstilzchen, i tried with the 3.2.1 kernel from TI site and with a 3.0.0 kernel from gentoo-sources, both produced the same erro, ive configured omap3+ gpu support in the TI one and powervr in the gentoo one
- [16:37:38] <ogra_>
(omapfb is just xfbdev on steroids and will be autodetected by xorg on start, at least thats what happens in ubuntu if you dont have pvr installed)
- [16:37:42] <Crnkoj>
sadly there is no additional info as to how to get it to work on gentoo
- [16:38:01] <Humpelstilzchen>
ogra_: The xorg in my debian wanted fbdev first
- [16:38:19] <Crnkoj>
ogra_, yes i know that, but it does not get autodetected, sadly, thats why im asking, as far as pvr goes as said i dont think there is a hardfloat version for gentoo yet, so i cannot use that
- [16:38:25] <ogra_>
Humpelstilzchen, oh, well, if you have the omapfb debian package installed that should be preferred
- [16:38:30] <Crnkoj>
Humpelstilzchen, yes its crying there is no fbdev
- [16:39:01] <ogra_>
do you get X without any pvr stuff installed ?
- [16:39:03] <Crnkoj>
i even have VIDEO_CARDS="omapfb" in my make.conf which tells the system to install omapfb drivers
- [16:39:07] <ogra_>
xfbdev should always work
- [16:39:12] <Crnkoj>
ogra_, i dont have any pvr stuff isntalled, jsut omapfb
- [16:39:17] <ogra_>
and be autodetected
- [16:39:22] <Crnkoj>
hmm let me try that
- [16:40:02] <Humpelstilzchen>
Crnkoj: sorry no longer have the fbdev xorg.conf it seems. But iirc I needed a device section with driver omapfb and device fb0 or fb1
- [16:40:24] <Crnkoj>
Humpelstilzchen, let me fetch you one i have found and oyu can check
- [16:41:11] <Crnkoj>
Humpelstilzchen, http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.embedded.pandaboard/2458 here the guy has a sample one, using fb0
- [16:41:34] <Humpelstilzchen>
Crnkoj: that should do
- [16:41:46] <Humpelstilzchen>
I remember the post, I got it from there :)
- [16:41:50] <Crnkoj>
Humpelstilzchen, i have /sys/devices/platform/omapdrm.o/graphics/fb0
- [16:42:00] <Crnkoj>
so i should use fb0 there
- [16:42:02] <Crnkoj>
but no avail
- [16:43:44] <Crnkoj>
im recompiling xorg-server with some different things now and will see what happens, than ill try with xf86-video-fbdev if that works
- [16:43:49] <Humpelstilzchen>
Crnkoj: May be its broken in your kernel? I had problems with a linaro 3.xer kernel while it was working with linaro 2.6.38
- [16:44:59] <Crnkoj>
Humpelstilzchen, yes i sadly cannot rule that out totally, i have to reconfigure the 3.0.0 gentoo kernel, i used to pull the config from the 3.2.1 kernel and do make oldconfig but it all went foobar, had to do menuconfig but still missing some things in the kernel =/
- [16:45:14] <Humpelstilzchen>
(So I had a 3.0 kernel with working syslink but no X and 2.6er with working X but no syslink - thats were I moved to ubuntu...)
- [16:45:50] <Humpelstilzchen>
Crnkoj: uhm does the 3.0 gentoo even has audio? (If it is mostly vanilla kernel.org then probably not)
- [16:46:05] <Crnkoj>
but if i get fbdev to work and get xorg to work it will be much better because i can than work on the board itself and dont need to ssh to it (my monitor isnt being properly recognised so parts of the screen are missing ... if connected to the hdmi)
- [16:46:11] <Crnkoj>
Humpelstilzchen, it does
- [16:46:19] <Crnkoj>
Humpelstilzchen, which audio part are oyu interested in
- [16:46:41] <Crnkoj>
Humpelstilzchen, it even has a powervr SGX driver that is absent in the ubuntu 3.2.1 kernel
- [16:47:11] <Humpelstilzchen>
ok
- [16:47:20] <Crnkoj>
which confuses me a lot
- [16:47:32] <Humpelstilzchen>
So you better should use pvr then
- [16:47:39] <Crnkoj>
because the description doesnt say if its the proprietary from powervr or if its the opensource one
- [16:47:54] <Crnkoj>
but i dont think there are pvr ahrdfloat binaries out yet
- [16:48:02] <Crnkoj>
ill do so
- [16:48:08] <Crnkoj>
ill try with fbdev now
- [16:50:22] <Humpelstilzchen>
Crnkoj: if you really want a good tip: Use ubuntu for now and wait for the driver mess get sorted a bit
- [16:50:52] <Crnkoj>
Humpelstilzchen, ah i know, i have it on a second sdcard, im not impressed by it at all, and i kind of got the board to use it with gentoo specifically :)

Humpelstilzchen, do you know why if i use the ubuntu .config with make oldconfig it messes all up hardcore, that i basically have to redo most of the stuff ?
- [16:53:10] <Crnkoj>
use the .config with the gentoo 3.0 kernel

no
- [18:49:23] <Crnkoj>
i get that error both if crosscompiling on my pc and on the board
- [18:49:31] <Crnkoj>
with the same config obviously
- [18:50:24] <Humpelstilzchen>
oh, broken option in kernel
- [18:50:45] <Crnkoj>
yes i know, but which one
- [18:50:57] <Crnkoj>
i have honestly no clue which one to search for
- [18:51:20] <Humpelstilzchen>
populate_rootfs_wait obviously - check which c file provides this function
- [18:51:32] <Crnkoj>
how do i check that
- [18:51:46] <Crnkoj>
if i search in menuconfig i cant find that

yes, i see what the doc say, the reason i am double checking is because i have no output.
- [19:25:47] <LetoThe2nd>
properly prepared sd card inserted?
- [19:26:23] <gandhijee_>
well i was just seeing if i get the bootloader.
- [19:26:34] <gandhijee_>
does the bootloader reside on the SDcard?
- [19:26:55] <LetoThe2nd>
arm has no bios....
- [19:27:08] <gandhijee_>
did i say bios?
- [19:27:14] <gandhijee_>
no i didn't i said bootloader
- [19:27:19] <gandhijee_>
aka Uboot/redboot
- [19:27:29] <nhg>
yes uboot on sdcard
- [19:27:38] <LetoThe2nd>
so no sd card, no boot, no output
- [19:27:44] <gandhijee_>
whatever you want. and in this case, the bootload is the bios, as it does some stage 1 init.
- [19:28:03] <gandhijee_>
BIOS = stage 1 bootloader in arm land, grub = stage 2 bootloader.
- [19:28:10] <gandhijee_>
ok

by that definition, OMAPs have a BIOS.

- [19:38:21] <gandhijee_>
if you can write the stage 1 bootloader to an onboard flash, you can says its the same.
- [19:38:23] <gandhijee_>
IMO
- [19:38:46] <mru>
stage 1 is hardwired in silicon on omap
- [19:39:06] <mru>
and it's still a very different beast from a pc bios
- [19:39:12] <mru>
as are all the other boot loader stages
- [19:39:14] * Transformer (~Transform@ool-4a59e397.dyn.optonline.net) Quit (Excess Flood)

the pc bios does system initialisation and provides some services to the OS (although those are mostly unused nowadays)
- [19:40:01] <gandhijee_>
umm do i need OMAP3 or 4 images for pandaboard
- [19:40:10] <mru>
pandaboard is omap4
- [19:40:25] <gandhijee_>
thanks
- [19:41:02] <gandhijee_>
what does uboot provide on omap? i know on the LPC32 based devices you can have uboot be the stage 1
- [19:41:40] <mru>
mlo + u-boot do basic initialisation and load the kernel
- [19:41:47] <mru>
then they vanish from existence
- [19:42:13] <mru>
so they do some of what a pc bios does
- [19:42:30] <mru>
but unlike the pc bios, they don't stick around once they've their thing
- [19:44:12] <mru>
+done
- [19:44:26] <gandhijee_>
well thats legacy bios
- [19:44:55] <mru>
is there any other kind?
- [19:44:57] <gandhijee_>
new solutions don't stick around, unless they are kind of told to do so (ie some UEFI solution, Coreboot, BLDK)
- [19:45:01] <gandhijee_>
umm yes
- [19:45:18] <gandhijee_>
have you heard of coreboot formerly known as linuxbios?
- [19:45:23] <mru>
sure
- [19:46:08] <gandhijee_>
well there is an example of one that doesn't stick around, BLDK doesn't stick around either, just inits the hardware loads the kernel then thats it
- [19:46:09] <mru>
that's more or less replacing the bios with some small init code and a linux kernel
- [19:46:19] <gandhijee_>
ehh not so much any more
- [19:46:41] <gandhijee_>
coreboot + seabios will let you load legacy OS's
- [19:46:42] <mru>
so enlighten me
- [19:47:02] <gandhijee_>
iirc some people have coreboot to the point it can load Win7 straight.
- [19:47:53] <gandhijee_>
so it did start of as you describe, small init with a kernel crammed inside the rom.
- [19:48:10] <gandhijee_>
now it acts like a stage1 init. which can load a payload,
- [19:48:34] <mru>
and the payload could be a linux kernel, seabios, or something else
- [19:48:39] <gandhijee_>
yes
- [19:49:03] <gandhijee_>
coreboot just inits hardware, which is what stage1 does in ARM, correct?
- [19:49:24] <mru>
define stage1
- [19:49:52] <gandhijee_>
i usually call stage 1, bring up proc and init memory
- [19:50:01] <gandhijee_>
as a min,
- [19:50:15] <gandhijee_>
it can also init say the drive controllers and serial controllers as well
- [19:50:28] <mru>
in a typical omap4 setup, the first thing to run is the onchip boot rom

- [19:50:56] <ds2>
the ROM does the same thing - system init and provide some services to the OS
- [19:50:59] <mru>
this searches for the next stage in various locations, but does _not_ init external memory
- [19:51:36] <mru>
usually what it loads is x-loader, u-boot spl, or something similar
- [19:51:38] <gandhijee_>
on OMAP did doesn't init external memory, correct?
- [19:51:40] <ds2>
depends on how you define system init - the same can be true of PC BIOS
- [19:51:45] <mru>
this inits dram and loads the full u-boot
- [19:51:55] <mru>
u-boot then sets up things like pin mux
- [19:51:56] <ds2>
PC BIOS doesn't init truely external memory
- [19:52:04] <mru>
and finally loads the kernel
- [19:52:23] <mru>
ds2: ps bios inits the main dram in the system
- [19:52:46] <gandhijee_>
ds2: PC BIOS always inits ram
- [19:52:47] <ds2>
mru: yes, and I argue that it is analogous to the ROM init'ing "SRAM"...
- [19:52:53] <ds2>
it is an SoC
- [19:52:59] * FunkyPenguin (~andrew@opensuse/member/FunkyPenguin) has joined #pandaboard
- [19:53:13] <ds2>
the motherboard needs in someway to map to the SoC
- [19:53:15] <mru>
I disagree
- [19:53:22] <ds2>
gandhijee_: not always
- [19:53:28] <gandhijee_>
example?
- [19:53:31] <ds2>

- [19:54:25] <gandhijee_>
but those sat in like ISA slots didn't they?
- [19:54:31] <mru>
yes
- [19:54:50] <mru>
and the ISA bus maps into the processor address space
- [19:54:56] <gandhijee_>
so they aren't directly connected to the memory system, so the processor has to be made aware of extra memory have the init
- [19:54:58] <mru>
just a tad slower than directly attached ram
- [19:55:02] <ds2>
when they were used, the systems didn't have or are capable of using PCI, etc.
- [19:55:34] <ds2>
ISA is more or less an subset of the GPMC functionality
- [19:56:12] <gandhijee_>
i have no clue what GPMC is
- [19:56:44] <ds2>
something similar to the ISA ;)
- [19:57:03] <gandhijee_>
before my time i guess =/ and i'm getting kind of old
- [19:57:21] <mru>
anyhow, trying to describe a pc and an omap with common terms is not a very useful exercise
- [20:01:02] <_av500_>
no A20 gate...
- [20:02:00] <gandhijee_>
A20 = legacy

i am looking at it from a point of view of a non legacy embedded system.

from that aspect IMO they can conform to a single model with the difference in processor instruction set.
- [20:08:28] <mru>
your opinion is flawed
- [20:08:58] <gandhijee_>
thats great you think that, are you aware that arm systems can now also run UEFI?

and the engine controller in your car runs either of those?

- [20:23:12] <mru>

mru, well, it proves that the automotive industry is using linux
- [20:31:34] <mru>
I never said the didn't
- [20:31:45] <mru>
I said they don't run linux on the engine controller
- [20:32:22] <noname^^>
and if standardized, low-power components are mass produced, they become very cheap
- [20:32:37] <noname^^>

- [20:33:18] <mru>
let me rephrase: if you're building a device to run something non-windows, why would you build it such that it can only run windows?
- [20:33:53] <noname^^>
why are you asking this question?
- [20:34:40] <mru>
in an attempt to get the point across
- [20:34:44] <mru>
apparently if failed
- [20:35:01] <noname^^>
if you're a chip maker you develop the chips so they CAN run windows. what the specific devices use is not important
- [20:35:22] <mru>
but if the chip is capable of running anything, what's the problem?
- [20:35:26] <noname^^>
they can use whatever operating system they like. it's just that if those devices are to run windows, they (the devices) have to be windows only
- [20:35:30] <noname^^>
not hte chip or the specification
- [20:36:07] <mru>
so.. if you don't want to run windows on your phone, don't buy a phone with windows
- [20:36:10] <noname^^>
problem? there's no problem. I'm just saying that microsoft will have the industry standardized around a (their) specification
- [20:36:15] <mru>
is that too straight-forward?
- [20:36:55] <mru>
if you want to run your car on petrol, don't buy a diesel
- [20:37:37] <noname^^>
why are you telling me these things? have you confused me with someone else you had an argument with earlier? I don't get it...
- [20:37:49] <mru>
you're the one who started arguing
- [20:38:04] <mru>
maybe you confused yourself with someone else
- [20:38:37] <noname^^>
I'm not arguing with anyone! I just made a statment that microsoft will standardize the arm industry much like they did the PC-industry. after that you started telling me weird stuff
- [20:39:25] <mru>
so you think they'll run windows on the engine controllers?
- [20:39:49] <noname^^>
no, but the chip makers will develop chips that CAN run windows, and they will be super mass produced
- [20:39:53] <noname^^>
and be really cheap
- [20:40:06] <noname^^>
and run whatever operating system that can run on that specific, wide spread standard
- [20:40:12] <mru>
if you are building engine controller chips, you do not give a fuck about windows
- [20:40:12] <noname^^>
so the car manufacturers will buy them
- [20:40:26] <noname^^>
because of the price/performance ratio obv
- [20:40:30] <mru>
same for any industrial application
- [20:40:55] <noname^^>
so you agree then?
- [20:40:58] <mru>
no
- [20:41:00] <noname^^>
haha, ok
- [20:41:05] <noname^^>
whatever, let's agree to disagree
- [20:41:10] <mru>
the vast majority of ARM chips are nowhere near windows
- [20:42:03] <mru>
if, and only if, windows should become popular on phones, they might influence the _phone_ chip designs
- [20:42:28] <noname^^>
I'm betting they're putting their money on pads
- [20:42:39] <mru>
same thing
- [20:42:42] <noname^^>
same chips though
- [20:42:43] <noname^^>
yeah
- [20:43:01] <mru>
and those chips are totally unsuitable for industrial control applications, for example
- [20:43:26] <noname^^>
what, you don't want to play h. 264 video on your chain saw? :P
- [20:43:59] <noname^^>
I guess it depends on what kind of HMI we'll see on those type of devices in the future
- [20:46:40] <_av500_>
on a chain saw, the HMI is the chain

:PP
- [20:52:04] <_av500_>
windows on arm is the same as linux on PC, a bargain to get intel to reduce chip prices

hey guys jsut wanted to say, i managed to get omapfb to run on gentoo for x-server
- [20:54:04] <Crnkoj>
it all came don to the wrong omapfb driver enabled in the kernel (omap-drm)
- [20:55:00] <_av500_>

- [21:19:05] <gandhijee_>
my question is why am i not getting console output on the serial port. i guess that the port isn't ttyS2
- [21:19:15] <_av500_>
old uboot ftw
- [21:19:27] <_av500_>
gandhijee_: ubuntu has no console output
- [21:19:31] <gandhijee_>
this is the ubuntu 11.10
- [21:19:33] <_av500_>
only the server version
- [21:19:39] <_av500_>
which has no X11 in return

you cannot have both
- [21:19:46] <gandhijee_>
_av500_, wrong again
- [21:20:09] <gandhijee_>
have debug messages output via serial and a X display is a valid configuration
- [21:20:22] <mru>
not in ubuntu
- [21:20:26] <gandhijee_>
you can have the kernel messages come out over serial

hey guys i would like to use the secondary DVI-D output on the pandaboard, which driver needs to be selected or deselected int eh kernel to work on boot ?
- [21:37:31] <prpplague>
Crnkoj: secondary dvi-d?
- [21:37:39] <prpplague>
Crnkoj: panda only has one dvi-d outpit
- [21:37:41] <prpplague>
output
- [21:37:53] <Crnkoj>
well yes the DVI-D output, i refered to it as the secondary since the HDMI is the primary

- [21:41:30] <Crnkoj>
so any knowledge about outputting to the primary DVI-D ?
- [21:43:29] <prpplague>
Crnkoj: it all depends on which kernel version you are using, what distro your are running, and what you want to do with it
- [21:43:35] <gandhijee_>
another question. my ubuntu was working with keyboard and mouse on ubuntu. but it just stopped, i can see the cursor move inside X windows, but i cant really click anything. also the keyboard doesn't seem to work. i can see that the kerenl is picking up the devices and is seeing the input from the keyboard and mouse
- [21:43:51] <prpplague>
Crnkoj: you can pass command line boot args to set it on most prebuilt kernel distros
- [21:44:35] <Crnkoj>
prpplague running the TI-omap ubuntu 3.2.1 kernel and gentoo, as the system, i have all working now over hdmi (x-server omapfb and so on), but would like to use the DVI-D port because my monitor doesnt give out the right EDID on HDMI
- [21:44:57] <prpplague>
Crnkoj: then i'd ask over in gentoo
- [21:45:41] <Crnkoj>
so you say i should set teh boot.scr args to output to DVI-D, how should that arg look like ?
- [21:46:11] <Crnkoj>
prpplague ye thats harder since noone ahs a pandaboard and besides its generally the same over all distros to get output to one or the other output at boot
- [21:47:13] <prpplague>
Crnkoj: generally yes, but not nessarilly
- [21:47:21] <prpplague>
Crnkoj: might ask over in #ubuntu-arm
- [21:47:40] <Crnkoj>
ye ok thanks
- [21:48:06] <Crnkoj>
ill reform the question, does anyone here run the DVI-D port on the pandaboard at boot as the first screen output ?

- [21:52:18] <Crnkoj>
prpplague so you are, do you run it by means of boot args in boot.scr or by means of enabling/disabling certain drivers in the kernel?
- [21:52:54] <prpplague>
Crnkoj: i set the default display device in the panda machine file
- [21:53:07] <prpplague>

prpplague machine file ? how should the boot arg look like than ?
- [21:53:53] <prpplague>
Crnkoj: don't need any bootargs if you set it in the machine file
- [21:54:05] <prpplague>
Crnkoj: http://omappedia.org/wiki/PandaBoard_FAQ#How_do_I_enable_DVI_output.3F
- [21:54:20] <Crnkoj>
prpplague ok, still i dont know what the machinefile is
- [21:54:27] <Crnkoj>
thank you
- [21:54:53] <prpplague>
Crnkoj: machine file is the .c file in the linux kernel that defines how the pandaboard is configured
- [21:55:28] <Crnkoj>
oh ok, maybe ill do that in a few months, when i know it better :D , so the link you gave me enables both hdmi and dvi-d at boot i assume
- [21:56:19] <prpplague>
Crnkoj: both are normally enabled on boot, but only one is the default display
- [21:56:44] <Crnkoj>
ah that makes it the default than i guess
- [21:56:55] <prpplague>
correct
- [21:57:54] <Crnkoj>
and if i remove the dvi-d bootarg it will make hdmi default again, i assume, secondly what does the MR-24 mean in here omapfb.mode=dvi:1280x1024MR-24@60 ?

nope
- [22:08:40] <prpplague>
gandhijee_: i'd ask over in #ubuntu-arm then

only "custom" think i did was enable the serial output for kern msgs
- [22:09:05] <gandhijee_>
gonna remove that and see what happens

gandhijee_: as boot args?

people used apple 1's as their only computer....

ds2: but that had specific expectations

hey guys what fps do you get with glxgears on your builds? i get a measly 26fps with omapfb
- [23:48:34] <Crnkoj>
on the stock size that is
- [23:48:44] * prpplague assumes glxgears is some android test app
- [23:48:52] <Crnkoj>
linux
- [23:48:56] <Crnkoj>
its a mesa program
- [23:49:10] <ds2>
hehe
- [23:49:11] <Crnkoj>
for gentoo its in mesa-progs
- [23:49:30] <ds2>
are you SURE it is using mesa?
- [23:49:32] <Crnkoj>
x11-apps/mesa-progs
- [23:50:00] <Crnkoj>
ds2 i might not be, because if i do eselect mesa list i dont see anything omap related there
- [23:50:23] <ds2>
you do not want it to use mesa
- [23:50:55] <Crnkoj>
what do i want it to use than ? as far as i was using fb drivers for my pcs it uses mesa

mesa is openGL emulation
- [23:51:24] <Crnkoj>
ye, obviously for fb you ahve to do that
- [23:51:27] <ds2>
unless mesa includes a GLES to GL emulator, it won't work (well?)
- [23:51:46] <Crnkoj>
i think it does
- [23:51:47] <ds2>
the HW on these SoC's are GLES so your demo program needs to be setup to use GLES
- [23:53:49] <Crnkoj>
ds2 i was looking in here http://dev.gentoo.org/~armin76/arm/pandaboard/hwdrivers.xml and installed omapfb, since i didnt see that hardfloat pvr-omap4 drivers were around for gentoo, judging by the comment in green just under SGX, i woudl say mesa supports this

- [23:55:30] <ds2>
mesa is emulation
- [23:55:48] <Crnkoj>
i understand that
- [23:56:17] <Crnkoj>
ds2 what setup would you suggest then ?
- [23:56:29] <ds2>
a custom one.
- [23:56:30] <ds2>
:D
- [23:56:39] <Crnkoj>
verywell this wont work
