steevc0rnelius: hm, to use multiple, they should be separated by a space right?00:39
c0rneliusSpace and direct path to dtb in my testing. That's extlinux though.00:41
steevwhat changes did/do you make to the extlinux?00:42
steevaha, i think i know the issue, silly me00:48
steev[    0.071507] OF: /leds/led-green: could not find phandle 7900:50
c0rneliusI'm pathing from the extlinux dir as I'm only using one partition: https://paste.debian.net/1238235/00:52
c0rneliusI doubt the vendor uboot supports that though.00:53
c0rneliusbut maybe it does I'm not sure honestly? if you use mainline uboot apply this patch: https://github.com/pyavitz/debian-image-builder/blob/feature/patches/uboot/amlogic/meson64-enable-dt-overlay-support.patch00:54
steevyeah, i saw that, i need to revisit u-boot at some point00:54
steevtrying to get the kernel bits working correctly first, just not sure why it dislikes the led one so much00:55
c0rneliushmm don't know. hasn't given me any trouble lately.00:56
steevnot sure either00:58
steevit *should* be correct00:58
c0rneliussteev: does ur 5.17 dts have the entry? pretty sure its not in mainline by default.02:25
c0rneliusyeah I add it with the extra bits:02:26
c0rneliusalso why would it complain about this: `/leds/led-green` thats not even the label.02:27
c0rneliusoh never mind I see why.02:28
steevyes02:36
steevi think i might back out all the overlays stuff for now, and go back to just patching the dts itself02:37
c0rneliusI'm pretty sure my overlay patches are not exactly as radxa did it but I don't see why the finished dtbo should matter.02:40
c0rneliusmine is like a cross between how they did it and hardkernel does it.02:40
steevi mean, i could probably pull it in from the 5.1002:41
steevthey're overlays02:41
steevand i know that 5.10 works02:41
c0rneliusalright I just checked the rev 1.5 with 5.17.3 all seems ok.02:41
steevi'm assuming i screwed something up with the overlays02:43
steevthe thing is02:43
steevit works02:43
steevbut it doesn't work02:44
steevlike, i've gotten past that leds phandle thing02:44
steevno longer seeing that, i get the device in sysfs02:44
steevbut the led isn't actually on02:44
c0rneliushmm02:44
steevi know the code itself works, outside of being an overlay, because it's the same code from 5.1602:46
c0rneliuswhat does that wifi injection HACK patch do?02:46
steevit's for adding injection support to mac80211 devices - won't work on the chipset itself that's on these boards02:47
c0rneliusoh i see02:47
c0rneliusyeah I was just curious02:47
steevbut will work for usb wifi devices02:47
steevit's for wifi attacks and whatnot :)02:47
c0rneliuskool02:48
c0rneliusyeah should you really get off that vendor uboot. it behaves odd.02:53
c0rneliusyou should*02:53
steevyeah i should :D02:53
steev...16:04
steevi think i figured out why i would sometimes randomly lose access to the zeros, apparently our config puts things to sleep if they're sitting at the login manager for an hour16:05
steevthats why wifi would "die" without messages in the logs16:07
c0rneliuswell good u figured it out18:48
gordonDrogonanyone know if there is an armhf for the original Pi-b or Pi Zero? (All I can see here https://arm-files.devuan.org/ ) is armel19:03
c0rneliusThats because the SoC is armv6 and Raspbian is a hack.19:26
c0rneliusI haven't found anything that can't be done on armel vs armhf though? `sudo ln -s /lib/ld-linux.so.3 /lib/ld-linux-armhf.so.3` and the userland and what not works as it should,19:30
c0rneliusTo be fair hack is to strong of word.19:37
gordonDrogonYes. I know raspbian was a hack. I helped built it in a small way.19:48
gordonDrogon10+ years back now. how time flies.19:49
gordonDrogonI have an application that uses a shed load of floating point. it saw much improvedment on raspbian vs. the original debian all that time back. I want to use it again.19:49
gordonDrogonI recall I compiled it with the armhf abi to run under debian, but it was better under raspbian. I'll give it a go. first time I've booted a Pi in over 2.5 years now.19:51
gordonDrogonroot21:18
gordonDrogonhm.21:19
gordonDrogonwell it booted- not to find out the default login/pass ..21:19
gordonDrogonand it's not root+toor )-:21:22
gordonDrogonok, so a somewhat user-hostil setup. root password is "*" in /etc/shadow. fortunately I can edit it on another system to change it.21:28
gordonDrogonI can see this is a work in progress - no /etc/network/interfaces either.21:37
gordonDrogonbut at least I have Devian 3.1.0 on my very first raspberry Pi now. One of the first 10K ever made, so that's something.21:38
gordonDrogoneven if it's set to gaelic.21:44
gordonDrogonwell. not easy, but I have my original Pi 1B running Devuan and it compiled up my wiringPi library OK and I can play with the GPIO.22:21
gordonDrogonstuff like overclocking isn't working but that might be some crap in the foundation kernel overriding /boot/config.txt )-:22:22
gordonDrogonand of-course it slow. however it's much slower than I remember my old Pi 1B being - I could boot that into my console mode BASIC in about 5 seconds - this take over 6 seconds just to load the kernel )-:22:23
gordonDrogonthe long + short of all this is that potentially I have a classroom or 2 or 3 of Pi 1B's that I might want to run my old BASIC interpreter on as in boot to console basic. so weighing up the options of RISCOS (lots of work, big C program), raspbian or devuan ...22:46
gordonDrogonwell it runs on the console, once I fixed a few things. it's slow-ish, but it runs OK.23:28
