sunshavisiceloa: what advantages would bring new u-boot to freemantle?02:58
* enyc meows06:44
MaxdamantusI think I compiled u-boot from mainline, so I imagine "new" is what you would naturally use.06:59
MaxdamantusJust as there's no maemo fork for glibc, don't need one for u-boot either, since u-boot presumably already supports rx-51.07:00
MaxdamantusMainline u-boot has contributions from Pali made this year.07:04
Maxdamantus(rx-51-specific contributions)07:05

enycMaxdamantus: hrrrm but does cssu provide a usefully updated u-boot installer package ...?09:03
enyclast I checked the u-boot installer has limited ext4 e.g. not supporting 64bit,metadata_csum ext409:04
MaxdamantusDunno. I think I've only ever built it myself.09:29
MaxdamantusAnd I just have a separate ext2 partition for boot anyway.09:30

bencohMaxdamantus: so that means current uboot/master works as expected on rx-51?10:12
Maxdamantusbencoh: I imagine so. I last built it a couple of years ago, but as I said above, there are recent rx-51 commits, so very likely it will still work.10:14
Maxdamantus(feature commits (eg, usb serial), not try-fixing-everything-because-it's-broken commits)10:15
bencohah, I thought you compiled it just recently10:15
bencohbecause yeah, there are still commits, mostly fixes to previous commits breaking compat10:16

sixwheeledbeastwhats master? I have leste booting from 2021.01-rc4...10:17
Maxdamantusmaster is v2021.04-959-g842d049be210:18
Maxdamantus(that is, 959 commits on top of v2021.04)10:19
Maxdamantuslast rc is v2021.04-rc510:20
sicelosunshavi - I don't think there are any expected benefits of new u-boot for maemo Fremantle. But with leste and others, e.g. postmarketOS, it could possibly mean dtb is handled without being appended to the kernel, making it easy to use one kernel for all devices12:22
siceloI don't know if this is really the case though, as I haven't tried it yet, but I would expect it. Appending dtb gets tedious after a while when you're hacking on the kernel12:25
siceloHi16:55
siceloWould anyone help me find the bcm2048 datasheet, please16:55
sunshavi sicelo: The near thing I remember about that is:18:39
