steevc0rnelius: hm, so, there's a way to do overlays in the kernel, but it's a bit confusing to me. 15d16d6dadf6 is the commit that adds it, but yeah... i'm getting errors trying to convert mine to work07:10
c0rneliuswhere is the link to the commit?07:13
steevone moment07:13

steevit's annoying that i can't paste in a hash to the search in github and get that commit07:15

c0rneliusyeah isn't that a new way they can be added or something?07:16
steevyeah07:16
steevand i'm just... not getting it07:16
c0rneliusI haven't looked into it yet I'm still doing it the old school way.07:17
steevyeah07:17
steevi figured since it went in to 5.18, i'd finally look at it for 5.1907:17
steevand what keeps happening is07:17
steevit yells at me because the dtb for the radxa zero isn't a fragment? i guess?07:17
c0rneliusyeah I really don't know. I was gonna look into it eventually.07:19
steevOverlay 'arch/arm64/boot/dts/amlogic/meson-g12a.dtsi' is incomplete (4096 / 1346656301 bytes read)07:19
steevhttps://paste.debian.net/1249368/07:20
steevi figured i'd start with that07:20
c0rneliusdo they error if you take out the compatible bit?07:20
steevyes07:21
steevli07:21
steevlike this is the weird part07:21
steevhttps://paste.debian.net/1249369/07:22
steevit's like they are flipped?07:22
c0rneliusyeah it looks pretty confusing I'm actually working on a allwinner overlay right now but just doing it the old way.07:22
c0rneliuswouldn't let me paste it at debian: https://pastebin.com/06Ywgrj207:43
c0rneliusbut thats a general add I just did. I still need to test it.07:43
c0rneliusand then just add more by dropping files into the overlays dir and updating the Makefile.07:43
c0rneliusthe new way is supposed to be simples but I haven't really seen any good docs on it07:44
c0rneliussteev: even reading through the test common files they created it just seems like it will auto detect an error. such as if you wrote it wrong.08:52
c0rneliusdoesn't armbian use like non-static overlays some how? like the dtbo is created on the fly when called upon or something and put in memory.08:55
steevre: armbian, no idea there.  the new way seems to generate an entirely separate dtb so that's... garbage18:05
pablomobileukine: We borrowed two RPi3 from the Metereological Department of our insitutution, those were the only available.23:28
