| Tenkawa | steev: nice box so far | 01:39 |
|---|---|---|
| steev | indeed | 01:40 |
| Tenkawa | once I figured out I typoed my wifi info the first time I flashed the os lol | 01:41 |
| Tenkawa | i copied the wrong prep file in | 01:41 |
| steev | nice | 01:58 |
| Tenkawa | yeah sometimes… oops | 02:00 |
| parabyte | Tenkawa, hi again | 02:38 |
| parabyte | iv not been working on stuff at all, been a wild weekend! ended up getting dragged into helping a friend move house! sigh | 02:39 |
| parabyte | Tenkawa, i remember you saying you use syslinux, was you meaning you actually use syslinux instead of u-boot on your boards?! | 02:39 |
| Tenkawa | we use syslinux/extlinux for the /boot side to boot a uboot bin/fips.. c0rnelius can give you better details (I could in the am… my head is mush at night) | 02:42 |
| parabyte | Tenkawa, i have configured the version of u-boot i have built to use extlinux.conf | 02:43 |
| parabyte | seem to be the most standard thing people are doing to casually boot linux from a removable sdcard/usb device | 02:43 |
| parabyte | Tenkawa, I was presented with many options the other day, efi, traditional uboot boot lots of options! sort of blew my mind! | 02:44 |
| Tenkawa | we've been playing with (mostly me) multiple os booting… you can create menus fairly easy now | 02:44 |
| Tenkawa | even scan a card ie grub style to build a menu | 02:45 |
| Tenkawa | I need to find those docs | 02:46 |
| Tenkawa | right now its radxa experiment time for the next few days (we are about to get hit with a fairly major snow/ice storm) | 02:47 |
| parabyte | what boards are you using? | 02:47 |
| parabyte | oh yes sorry | 02:48 |
| Tenkawa | radxa zero | 02:48 |
| parabyte | i remember now | 02:48 |
| parabyte | you got a m1 box | 02:48 |
| Tenkawa | just got the radxa zero today | 02:48 |
| parabyte | what soc is that? | 02:48 |
| Tenkawa | soc soc0: Amlogic Meson G12A (S905Y2) Revision 28:b | 02:49 |
| parabyte | lol i got bunches of amlogic android tv box's | 02:49 |
| parabyte | good stuff there! | 02:49 |
| Tenkawa | this is a bit stronger lol | 02:49 |
| parabyte | i cant remember what they are um x905 something like that | 02:50 |
| Tenkawa | quad 1.8ghz 4gb ram 64gb emmc | 02:50 |
| parabyte | my all time favourite soc vender is allwinner which might surprise you | 02:50 |
| Tenkawa | my allwinners are annoying | 02:51 |
| parabyte | oh how so? | 02:51 |
| Tenkawa | mine are FriendlyElec NanoPi's | 02:51 |
| parabyte | i think allwinners are fantastic, i find them very hard to break/brick | 02:51 |
| parabyte | if impossible | 02:51 |
| Tenkawa | they get ultrahot | 02:51 |
| parabyte | oh yeah they do get hot, | 02:52 |
| parabyte | my reason for liking them is well there so cheap and plentiful ! | 02:52 |
| Tenkawa | I have a fulltime fan and 2 heatsinks on it | 02:52 |
| parabyte | is the cpu clocked too high? | 02:52 |
| Tenkawa | no. I keep it down low | 02:53 |
| parabyte | i do not see that sort of extremes on the nasty h3's | 02:53 |
| Tenkawa | these are h5's | 02:53 |
| Tenkawa | way too much cpu for their physical size | 02:53 |
| parabyte | im waiting patiently for some vendor to release something like the m1 ;) | 02:54 |
| parabyte | so i can think about jumping ships from x86 | 02:54 |
| Tenkawa | heheh I am very glad I did.. | 02:55 |
| steev | it'll be a while before we get something along the lines of the m1 from someone else | 04:27 |
| Molnija | x86 won't be dead to me until a <$1500 ARM workstation supporting modular memory in both UDIMMs and RDIMMs with ECC memory correcting single bit and detecting double bit errors ships out. | 05:28 |
| Molnija | i know, it will never happen, but a dragon can dream, right? | 05:28 |
| c0rnelius | Not sure why it matters and I'll probs be dead or not care by the time it happens. | 05:35 |
| onefang | Well I built myself a super desktop out with AMD Ryzen Threadripper 3990X 64-Core Processor (4.1 MHz) and 256 GB of RAM. In about a decade when it needs replacing, I hope I can replace it with a better ARM or RISC-V. | 05:51 |
| c0rnelius | steev: using a basic debian/xfce install the radxa zero can do 1080p x264 vid play back no probs. it fails like the pi at x265, but thats expected. | 06:19 |
| c0rnelius | my testing is using vlc. also did a custom mesa install, but I doubt thats really contributing. | 06:20 |
| steev | mesa 22 is rather broken on G31 | 06:30 |
| steev | panfrost is definitely holding things back, but the meson vpu stuff needs more work too, i think | 06:31 |
| steev | https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/v5.16/gpu/meson.html | 06:32 |
| steev | PHY, Clock and Mode setup for 2k && 4k modes still missing | 06:32 |
| steev | which makes me sad, because i have some 8.9" 2K displays coming that i wanted to use with them | 06:33 |
| Tenkawa | steev: c0rnelius: either one of you around yet this morning/today? | 14:18 |
| steev | yep | 14:18 |
| steev | because i suck at the sleep thing | 14:18 |
| Tenkawa | does your radxa connect up to 5.4ghz ok? I'm seeing the same thing I have happen with my 400… it only hits g/n | 14:19 |
| Tenkawa | seems like every device so far I've had with brcmfmac43456 can't access my 5.4ghz AC's properly where everything else can | 14:20 |
| Tenkawa | all the other devices (rpi4, apple, etc) in the house have no trouble with that AP | 14:21 |
| Tenkawa | but the 400 and this radxa both can't even see it | 14:21 |
| Tenkawa | (fortunately I have multiple AP's so I am still able to get it online) | 14:22 |
| Tenkawa | when I run a iwlist scan for the neighborhood I don't even see the ones I expect to see | 14:25 |
| Tenkawa | heh | 14:25 |
| bb|hcb | Tenkawa: does the regulatory domain match? if your radxa is configured for a place that filters certain channels and your ap is on one of those, they will never see each other... | 14:27 |
| Tenkawa | bb|hcb: of course.. and thats my point.. why would it only be "that firmware" | 14:28 |
| Tenkawa | if all variables are equal other than that | 14:28 |
| Tenkawa | I am worried that driver is not reading crda at all | 14:29 |
| Tenkawa | because this has been happening to the 400 for months too | 14:29 |
| Tenkawa | out of 11 total machines I have online right now these are the only 2 exhibiting the problem and that is their common variable is their chip | 14:31 |
| Tenkawa | I think I'm going to have to dig in with traces soon | 14:31 |
| Tenkawa | it even logs that crda is properly updating countty | 14:33 |
| Tenkawa | er country | 14:34 |
| Tenkawa | CTRL-EVENT-REGDOM-CHANGE init=USER type=COUNTRY alpha2=US | 14:34 |
| Tenkawa | now here's what is bothering me | 14:36 |
| Tenkawa | global | 14:37 |
| Tenkawa | country US: DFS-FCC | 14:37 |
| Tenkawa | its set | 14:37 |
| Tenkawa | but next to no channels under it | 14:38 |
| Tenkawa | and the phy is unset | 14:38 |
| Tenkawa | ok there we go.. if I run the freq cmd I get a ton og 5ghz freqs back | 14:39 |
| Tenkawa | I think I see what I need to do | 14:39 |
| steev | Tenkawa: you can try changing the ccode in the .txt file? | 14:47 |
| steev | hm, it's not in theirs by default | 14:48 |
| steev | you can try adding "ccode=all" in there at the bottom of the file - but mine connects to my 5GHz network fine | 14:50 |
| steev | i do run 5GHz as a separate network though, not the same ssid | 14:50 |
| Tenkawa | it was the router channel… although it was a "valid" one by the fcc standards the chip did not like it | 14:58 |
| Tenkawa | I adjusted it down the table some and now it likes it | 14:58 |
| Tenkawa | had to take everything offline to do that… that was wild in a rush | 14:59 |
| Tenkawa | much better now on 5ghz :) | 15:06 |
