parabyteokay people are using a really REALLY old build of uboot that does not even support ext402:59
parabytelol02:59
parabytemy platform asus tf10102:59
parabyteim currently working on getting uboot current working02:59
gnarfaceyou should be able to enable several other filesystems too03:04
gnarfaceif you make a custom build03:04
parabytegnarface, its going to take me a few evenings, i was unaware how vasty uboot has changed in the past 11 years13:10
parabytei must admit its lots nicer now the build system, but the old dts files no good and need adapting13:11
parabytei was hoping i could just drop the dts write a few make files etc etc lol13:11
parabytenothing ever that easy, but i got it working today, just bit stumped by a few things,13:11
parabytei used nvidia fex loader tool to try uboot in ram13:11
parabytegnarface, do you know where all the definitions for the gpio are stored for different platforms in uboot?17:02
parabyteim stumbling with gpio's17:02
parabytegnarface, figured it out!17:13
parabyteall in the includes sorry for bothering you17:13
gnarfaceparabyte: no worries, but i didn't know anyway23:05
qwestion2Anyone using arm server class hw as gui desktop?23:10
qwestion2Or seen on ml etc?23:10
gnarfacei'm not but i'm curious about it23:14
Tenkawaqwestion2: what do you consider server class arm hardware?23:18
qwestion2Tenkawa: synquaecer , honeycomb or pricier and thunderx etc23:19
qwestion2Amd*23:19
Tenkawathe few arm "servers" I've seen only run 2d graphics unless you addon pci-e graphics23:21
Tenkawasome of them don't even have gpus23:22
TenkawaI would like to get my hands on a honeycomb though23:23
Tenkawaalthough now that I have a M1 running several linux instances on it… not really needed23:23
Tenkawadevuan runs great on my M1 paravirt23:24
bb|hcbqwestion2: I have got a SynQuacer board but haven't started it yet23:33
Tenkawabb|hcb: yeah I was just reading the specs on that one.. same deal there.. have to provide your own graphics so their gui desktop question is kind of a skewed question23:36
Tenkawaits got a ton of raw horsepower.. but its not "designed" to be a desktop so graphics bandwidth io is not going to be its forte I would imagine23:38
bb|hcbMy plan is to use it as a server, maybe adding a 10ge card instead of video; I am also curious how well it will work as a desktop, most probably will try that too23:43
Tenkawabb|hcb: from the specs looks good as a server23:44
bb|hcbBTW. chip1stop promise in their shop that they will give RAM but that is not true; and it looks like I do not have the proper RAM in my drawer and the board is picky about the RAM23:44
Tenkawabummer23:45
Tenkawaright now I just use a cluster of 8 rpi4's and 2 Odroid N2/N2+ 's23:47
Tenkawa(afk for a few)23:48
qwestion2bb|hcb: u bought it after all?23:48
bb|hcbyep, it arrived today23:49
qwestion2> BTW. chip1stop promise in their shop that they will give RAM but that is not true; and it looks like I do not have the proper RAM in my drawer and the board is picky about the RAM23:50
qwestion2Damn, and try were promising a lot, that's not professional of them23:50
qwestion2S try they23:51
