then again, perhaps not....

question
<peterm6881>
if i make a change in menuconfig, do I have to do a make clean?
<peterm6881>
or can I get away with just make -j5, will it overwrite the sdcard.img and save a lot of time
<Xogium>
its probably a good idea to
<peterm6881>
aww
<peterm6881>
easy for you to say, with your 3 minute builds lol
<Xogium>
sometimes when you enable some things its needed to make clean, and sometimes its not needed
<Xogium>
it depends what
<peterm6881>
ok make clean it is then
<Xogium>
so,in general its a good reflex to make clean
<peterm6881>
interestingly, when you enable wide character support, alsamixer is automatically enabled within alsa-utils
<Xogium>
buildroot isn't aware of dependencies and doesn't track them, So if you build something that can optionally use openssl, but don't enable it, then later enable openssl, the thing that may depend on openssl will not be rebuilt unless you use make clean
<peterm6881>
cannot open mixer: No such file or directory
<peterm6881>
does this mean we have no audio in the current licheepi_zero_defconfig
<peterm6881>
at least we know it builds in current lts and master
<Xogium>
seems that audio is borked…
<Xogium>
I don't see any audio stuff, come to think of it
<Xogium>
meh, you better send me a board and I'll test things before I send you an image anyway
<Xogium>
if I'm lucky itr will just be a question of setting audio to okay like on orange pi…
<Xogium>
if I'm not, well then I bloody don't know
<Xogium>
I don't get how amixer could work but alsamixer fail, anyway
<peterm6881>
where do you set audio to ok
<Xogium>
in the device tree, possibly
<Xogium>
in the kernel source code
<Xogium>
what I don't understand is amixer listed a whole bunch of controls just fine earlier so why would alsamixer fail
<peterm6881>
i can answer that question
<peterm6881>
amixer was from the NEC
<peterm6881>
can you check the audio setting you mention
<peterm6881>
im very reluctant to send you any hardware that hasn't been fully tested, for the simple reason that once it goes out my door, I have no further control whether anything works or not, and if you tell me something isnt working, there is literally nowhere to go from there
<peterm6881>
and then experience has told me, the very next thing that happens is the board goes pffft with a burning smell
<peterm6881>
its important to avoid that situation, because I only have 3 of these, and it took 6 weeks to get them
<peterm6881>
so with the greatest respect, its a much better idea that I be the hardware test guy, and you turn shit on in the software
<peterm6881>
I will send you one, but only after we have a working image
<peterm6881>
its vital we manage risk to these boards
<peterm6881>
force of habit, 12 years in manufacturing, I never sent out a piece of hardware I hadn't personally tested.
<peterm6881>
let me know if you intend to go on strike over it
<Xogium>
I'm not planning on a strike but I like to be able to test my stuff, and that I can't do as efficiently as I'd like
<Xogium>
its just bothering me a bit, but I understand where you're coming from
