marexAsmadeus: next 20210618 on mx8mq picopi works , including ethernet , maybe that piece of information is useful06:25
Asmadeusmarex: oh, thanks. It could also very well be my driver (different phy) or something specific to imx8mp (not on reform yet), but it's good news!06:42
ex-parrotseems like the New Zealand import paperwork has got a lot simpler since Novena happened07:07
ex-parrotI now have an Importer Code :P07:08
Asmadeusyou might actually get it before me :) It's planned for the end of the week here07:14
ex-parrothmm last shipping update was the machine leaving Germany so probably similar timing I think08:26
ex-parrotplus I haven't paid my import tax yet :P but I'll hopefully do that tomorrow08:27
mntmnex-parrot: ohh i hope everything goes smoothly!11:05
+ mjw (~mjw_@2001:1c06:2487:f800:9e5c:8eff:fe8f:a440)11:25
ex-parrotmntmn: so far it is exceeding expectations. From “please call us” SMS to being registered with Customs as an Importer was about 3 hours 11:38
mntmnex-parrot: very nice11:38
ex-parrotWhich I thought I’d done already for the Novena but Customs had no record of it 11:39
ex-parrotThey said there are nine other people with my surname registered as importers :P11:39
ex-parrotOne of which is my brother 11:39
ex-parrotSo tomorrow I’ll pay tax and hopefully the machine arrives maybe Friday 11:40

marexAsmadeus: 8mp dwmac or fec ?12:49
- S0rin (QUIT: Ping timeout: 268 seconds) (~S0rin@user/s0rin)12:54
mntmnex-parrot: how mach duty is it? how's the VAT in NZ?12:54
Asmadeusmarex: really didn't look into it yet, one is gone (I think dwmac, not listed in interface list) and the other is present and pretends to be up but says it can't find the phy when trying to manipulate it. Hasn't really been a priority but I'll try to look at it later this week, don't mind me :)13:33
marexAsmadeus: there is some phytec board upstream which should have both interfaces working, so you can inspire yourself there13:44
blueriseIssue for MP I think is that it only has one PCIe port :/13:54
blueriseunless you add some PCIe bridge to the SoM heh13:54
marexbluerise: I just wish there was one of the mx8m that would really be the ultimate model13:55
blueriseWell, question is what is "ultimate".13:55
marexso far there are 4 (not counting the ulp) and every one is limited in one way or the other13:55
blueriseThe LX2160A is nice, but too hot13:55
blueriseand no graphics13:55
blueriseYup, ack13:55
blueriseI'd still get the plus though13:56
blueriseI met with NXP and they were like 'oh, well, the MQ,... you should switch to Mini or Plus"13:56
mntmnbluerise: there's a smaller LX2162A13:57
mntmnbluerise: yes NXP told me the same, but it's nonsense. i'd rather wait for mx913:57
marexbtw the 8mn and mp bootrom was designed by another team than 8mq/mm, so they e.g. removed PERSIST_SECONDARY_BOOT option, which allowed testing bootloader updates (you write bootloader B-copy, set the bit, enable WDT, reboot and see if it works)13:57
marexif it doesn't , WDT switches you back to A-copy13:57
mntmnthe mx8mq finally works well 13:57
mntmnthey should just shrink it to 14nm lol13:57
mntmnor less13:57
marexwith mn/mp, they left only eMMC boot partitions, which are non-volatile, so you switch and if B-copy doesnt work, ... too bad13:57
blueriseAh, one thing they also said: Mini/Plus are much better, because it's using some Samsung iirc transistor technology usually used for phones, and the MQ isn't13:58
marexmntmn: yes ... 8mq overheats :(13:58
blueriseso the 'the hotter, the more voltage' curve is a lot better on MM/MP13:58
marexyes, the mm/mn/mp emit much less heat13:58
mntmnmarex: just use a big chunk of aluminum or copper ;)14:00
bluerisemarex: our product uses MQ and has like 100 layers of thermal pads14:00
mntmnok, maybe mp could be an option for saving more power while giving up some IO14:00
marexI had to add blower fan, but that wasnt on reform of course14:00
mntmnLS1028A also doesn't get super hot14:00
mntmnsurprisingly14:01
bluerisemntmn: maybe a PCIe switch if that's not too expensive?14:01
mntmnbluerise: medium expensive14:01
+ S0rin (~S0rin@user/s0rin)14:04
mntmnbluerise: but developing a SOM takes quite a lot of effort. i'm experiencing this now with the kintex-7 module.14:04
mntmn(it is probably more complex than a mp module though, because it has more support chips)14:05
mntmnbut the memory is tricky14:05
blueriseyeah... NXP also said "you really shouldn't design the memory layout yourself, just use the reference design or a SoM"14:07

scopsmntmn: i just switched back to sd card boot .... but still the same :( nothing on screen... the uart/usb cable is shipping ... but stil takes time... any ideas? looking bad if sd card boot doesnt work, right? :(17:33
mntmnscops: yeah. when will you get the UART cable?17:35
scopsdont know... this week i hope17:36
mntmnscops: they don't have tracking? where did you order?17:38
scopsthe shop u suggested17:38
mntmnok, last time they were super fast17:39
mntmnscops: hell, actually you _can_ do more with the sd card17:41
mntmnscops: do you have a HDMI monitor?17:41
scopsyes17:42
mntmnscops: copy the dual display dtb over the imx8mq-mnt-reform2.dtb on the sd card, connect hdmi and boot with that 17:42
mntmnscops: also if you flash the new uboot it can already show something on hdmi17:42
scopsi could just flash the new image with dd to the sd right?17:43
mntmnscops: yes17:43
mntmnscops: but still you have to copy the dtb 17:43
scopsyes17:43
mntmnscops: because default is single display17:43
mntmni think it should be possible to modify the u-boot so that it would not directly boot but instead bring up usb and use it as keyboard and hdmi as output17:44
scopscheck... i will try that later :) thanks17:44
mntmni'm building an u-boot now that could help with this17:48
mntmnhmm the hdmi framebuffer doesn't want to work as a "vga" output for setenv stdout18:08
mntmnusb keyboard is not detected, but trackball is, strangely18:20
mntmn(by u-boot)18:20
mntmnok, too stressful for me to figure this out right now... but you should at least get the denx logo for 1 second on HDMI on startup scops 18:23
* mrusme -> mrus18:35
mntmnmarex: any hints on how to debug "setenv vga" in u-boot? without *ahem* driver model... it's using "fbpanel", looks imx specific18:39
mntmnmarex: i get the denx splash and a line of text but nothing further... i can switch back and forth between serial and vga but vga never prints anything to that framebuffer18:40
mntmni get the "U-Boot" version + date line on hdmi too18:40
marexmntmn: er ... you can set stdout to multiple values18:41
marexrun coninfo , that should give you the options18:41
marexsetenv stdout serial,vga should work I think18:41
mntmnmarex: yeah, did that. i get output on serial but never on vga18:42
mntmn=> coninfo18:44
mntmnList of available devices:18:44
mntmnvga      00000002 .O stdout stderr 18:44
mntmnserial   00000003 IO stdin 18:44
mntmnnulldev  00000003 IO 18:44
mntmnmxc_serial 00000003 IO 18:44
marexmntmn: maybe vga init is not working ?18:49
marexmntmn: i dont think u-boot supports video output on mx8mq18:50
mntmnmarex: hmm, but it shows the denx logo and the u-boot version line18:56
mntmnmarex: (it is vendor u-boot i have to say, sorry for that)18:56
marexhum18:58
marexmntmn: you do have CFB_CONSOLE compiled in ?18:59
marexmntmn: look into drivers/video/Kconfig, there might be some hint there19:00

- S0rin (QUIT: Ping timeout: 265 seconds) (~S0rin@user/s0rin)19:17
mntmnoh it's working19:19
mntmnthe problem was that my HDMI capture device froze >:|19:22
mntmnmarex: sorry for that. now i only have the problem that any usb keyboards are ignored :D19:27
mntmnah, my fault again19:28
marexmntmn: a lot of that is likely already fixed in upstream, there were quite a few patches in that area19:28
mntmnok19:33
mntmnscops: http://dump.mntmn.com/flash.bin.hdmidebug19:35
mntmnscops: if you flash this to the sdcard, you will get some output on HDMI and a prompt. if you don't get that, maybe your SOM/SOC is broken.19:35
XgFHmm, seems some beach sand got in my trackball and now its really wonky, guess I'll have to clean it :(19:35
mntmnXgF: fortunately it's very easy to clean19:36
mntmnXgF: (see the handbook)19:36
mntmnscops: sudo dd if=flash.bin.hdmidebug of=/dev/sdx bs=1024 seek=3319:36
XgFmntmn: and maybe i should swap it out for the trackpad if its going near the vicinity of a beach in future :p19:37
mntmnXgF: hehe19:41
mntmnbluerise: didn't you have an updated u-boot somewhere?19:41
blueriseyup19:42
bluerisebut it wasn't cleaned up I think19:42
mntmnbluerise: doesn't matter19:42
bluerisewill push what I have, 1s19:44
bluerisehttps://github.com/bluerise/u-boot/tree/boundary-v2020.10-reform19:44
blueriseah, let me squash something19:45
+ S0rin (~S0rin@user/s0rin)19:46
blueriseok, re-pushed, that's better19:49
XgFmntmn: oh that was easy19:49
blueriseso, the big 'reform' commit replaces the nitrogen's dtb with the reform's. yeah, that's a hack19:49
XgFand appears to have been a complete success19:49
mntmnXgF: cool19:49
scops<mntmn "scops: sudo dd if=flash.bin.hdmi"> Thanks a lot :) i will try it tomorrow! :)20:01
