**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sun Dec 23 03:00:00 2018 Dec 23 06:43:47 Hi all Dec 23 06:45:38 I have a simple question....is there in coming wrt open firmware the intention of include the support for technicolor dga4132? Dec 23 07:29:27 irc newbie Dec 23 10:29:30 Hauke: you'll find my latest thoughts on rixi in the email - hopefully I've not been too stupid Dec 23 10:31:19 Hauke: I remain confused by the upper bits of config3 Dec 23 10:43:55 ldir: all the upper bits seem optional stuff, them being 0 just means nothing of them is implemented Dec 23 10:56:53 KanjiMonster: well I've done my Christmas dive into the kernel and suitably scared myself :-) Dec 23 11:08:14 I am also not supprised that all the higher bits are unset, it looks like they start with the lowest bits and use the next free one for a new options they introduce Dec 23 11:08:34 in some older docuemnt only bits 0 and 1 wrere documented Dec 23 11:09:28 the document you linked is pretty recent and also contains the new extensions, but the 24Kec core is already some years old Dec 23 11:15:59 Hauke: at least I've answered some of the questions :-) Dec 23 11:17:05 earliest reference to 24k I can find is from 2004, so even more than a decade old ;) Dec 23 11:17:51 wow - time flies when you're having fun Dec 23 11:23:10 The RXI bit was added to the document in rev 2.81 from Sep. 2009, it looks like the document revision matches the MIPS32 revision Dec 23 11:23:41 It could be integrated in late 24Kec cores, but I do not think that many of them will be around Dec 23 11:24:14 I think KanjiMonster was correct that most MIPS cores do not support RIX Dec 23 11:27:48 Hauke: looks like the 74k was introduced in 2007, so would also predate RXI Dec 23 12:15:56 KanjiMonster: there are often different revisions of the same processor core, like the recent MIPS interaptiv versions support mips16e2, this was introduced after the initial MIPS interaptiv core Dec 23 12:17:52 Hauke: sure, but as we can see in ldir's output, even being 74k 5.0 doesn't mean it supports RIXI ;) Dec 23 12:19:51 it is optional, so SoC vendors can activate it or not, this will increase chip size and validation efforts and could increase license costs Dec 23 12:20:10 It is madatory in MIPSr6 ;-) Dec 23 12:20:15 MIPS32r6 Dec 23 12:25:56 good luck finding router with a mips32r6 core ;) Dec 23 12:26:07 (or mips64r6) Dec 23 12:30:13 MIPS32r6 ISA will be open source soon, there are some SoCs with MIPS32r3 (InterAptive) and I think Mobile Eye uses some recent MIPS core, but otherwise only the old ones are used as far as I know Dec 23 12:31:51 if you look at the stb segment you'll find RIXI capable SoCs (AFAICT the bmips4380 / bmips5000 cores as found in bcm7xxx SoCs support it) Dec 23 12:31:59 anyone ever seen this? https://www.aliexpress.com/item/MTK-MT7623A-Enterprise-Router-Firewall-Gateway-LTE-4G-WIFI-PCBA-ODM-OEM/32816965570.html Dec 23 12:38:12 KanjiMonster: yes I saw that the RIXI kernel config options was selected for some of the recent BMIPS CPUs Dec 23 12:38:29 but I never looked into the BCM7xxx SoCs Dec 23 12:39:21 some very old broadcom ethernet router SoC usesd BMIPs CPUs, but then they switched to MTI cores for their ethernet routers Dec 23 13:43:07 * ldir has eaten too many mint chocolates - urgh Dec 23 13:46:11 there's no such thing as too many mint chocolates, I don't believe you Dec 23 13:48:35 drinking beer or scotch after too many mint chocolates will make you feel better Dec 23 14:17:35 nmrh: cherry long drink Dec 23 14:17:54 s/c/s/ Dec 23 14:37:17 * nmrh looks up sherry long drink Dec 23 14:38:25 hmm something sweet, I was thinking bitter/peaty to counteract the sweet but ok Dec 23 15:02:44 You can tell my kids are off school Dec 23 15:02:47 Uptime Dec 23 15:02:47 3d 1h 38m 36s Dec 23 15:02:56 RX: 145.94 GB (95988892 Pkts.)

Dec 23 15:06:51 Tapper: the level of testing one UK ISP goes to https://www.revk.uk/2014/09/in-line-of-fire.html ;-) Dec 23 15:07:25 gaming and youtube Dec 23 15:07:48 I am the only one aloud to torent! lol Dec 23 15:08:04 going to look at that link now ldir Dec 23 15:09:20 ldir lol so true man Dec 23 15:19:55 * ldir needs to borrow xback's refresh box Dec 23 16:30:17 updated openwrt/upstream, https://sdwalker.github.io/uscan/index.html Dec 23 19:13:58 https://scotthelme.co.uk/securing-dns-across-all-of-my-devices-with-pihole-dns-over-https-1-1-1-1/ Dec 23 19:37:12 ldir: Hauke: https://patchwork.linux-mips.org/patch/21314/ - so mt7688 doesn't have RXI either - which I guess will be the same for other earlier SoCs as well **** ENDING LOGGING AT Mon Dec 24 02:59:59 2018
