May 15 06:19:42 <Marex> greguu: how does kexec relate to fbdev support ?
May 15 06:21:07 <greguu> Marex: just if you like to have a graphical bootmenu as we used in kexecboot
May 15 06:39:36 <Marex> greguu: ah, I dont :)
May 15 06:40:03 <Marex> ah, kexecboot was that thing from zaurus ?
May 15 06:40:15 <Marex> you can use fbdev emulation on top of KMS framebuffer too
May 15 06:41:16 <greguu> Marex, yes we used kexecboot on the zaurus, but other devices use it too
May 15 06:44:27 <Marex> :)
May 15 06:55:55 <greguu> petiteboot also supports arm64 it seems, but never used it
May 15 07:09:50 <Marex> greguu: my goal is to get U-Boot going on the device (which I have already done) with USB support
May 15 07:14:52 <greguu> great, will this allow booting from sdcard eventually too?
May 15 07:23:22 <Marex> greguu: do you want to fiddle with the driver ? :)
May 15 07:23:39 <Marex> greguu: there is one in U-Boot, although the register layout looks slightly different
May 15 07:23:46 <Marex> greguu: it might need some adaptation for the MT6797
May 15 07:23:58 <Marex> greguu: it might make it possible to use flashair cards then
May 15 07:24:04 <Marex> greguu: I think the SD slot IP is at 0x11240000
May 15 07:25:10 <greguu> Marex, my uboot knowledge is < 0, but happy to look into it
May 15 07:26:10 <greguu> Marex: I will be in Europe the next 4 weeks so when back..
May 15 07:57:43 <greguu> l
May 15 08:14:33 <Marex> greguu: that fills me with sadness, considering you went through E-ALE-NZ
May 15 08:14:36 <Marex> ;-/
May 15 12:45:59 <greguu> Marex: ha!, true. I meant more the src of uboot than how it works in principle.
May 15 12:46:30 <Marex> you can always learn ;-)
May 15 18:22:06 <greguu> \
May 15 19:00:35 <greguu> Marex: sure will, as you are a good teacher :-)
May 15 21:21:47 <Marex> greguu: I prefer feedback over flattery ;-)
May 15 22:38:15 <greguu> Marex: not flattery, compliment.. anyway :)
May 15 22:38:48 <greguu> Marex:I fetched the uboot src and will build it now, but I guess I need the UART cable to see whats happening ?
May 15 22:40:27 <Marex> greguu: yep, I cooked me a uart cable real quick
May 16 00:22:36 <amsomniac> Hey! I just got root working in 8.1, I'm super happy about it.
May 16 00:22:42 <amsomniac> no twrp unfortunately
May 16 01:11:56 <greguu> Marex: I was not so adventurous as I had no spare type C to cut in pieces, so I ordered a USB type C UART cable online.. lazy me..shame
May 16 01:12:23 <greguu> but it worked fine out of the box and its glittery gold cable makes it look special
May 16 01:16:02 <greguu> Marex: what toolchain you use for building aarch64 U-Boot ?
May 16 01:27:53 * greguu used gcc-aarch64-linux-gnu from deb repo
May 16 01:36:44 <greguu> Marex: feedback - the mkbootimg is crying for ramdisk. adding --ramdisk u-boot.bin.gz correct ?
