[Discord] <lands39> i guess its going in the trash now
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <lands39> fuck this
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <lands39> fun not allowed
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <adeepv> soc can boot from spi-flash, sdcard, emmc boot0/boot1 partitions or from main emmc partition
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <rpardini> it's funny. folks bang their heads to get an SD booting on tvbox (using the vendor emmc's blobs and spl) and then _immediately_ proceed to "install to eMMC".
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <lands39> i didn't know the emmc had important stuff
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <lands39> first time i've really messed around with arm
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <lands39> if i knew better i would have backed up the entire bootloader beforehand
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <adeepv> after realize that all the difference between boards is dts and binary blobs, it gets boring.
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <rpardini> that's excellent.
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <rpardini> also get a USB UART dongle.
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <narmstrong> It’s our goal! When enabling a new board is boring, it’s done ✅
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <lands39> if i ever do this shit again i definetly will
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <lands39> i ripped the emmc off in a last ditch attempt to get it to go from the sd card
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <lands39> i truly didn't give a shit about that thing
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <lands39> just pissed bc i was super close to having it working
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <adeepv> and then there is the question of where to get normal blobs))) for example we had bl2 from amlogic with disabled spi-nor support)
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <rpardini> I've made a s912 tvbox go with LC's Tartiflette blobs the other day. 😉
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <narmstrong> Yeah amlogic’s management of boot fws is so bad
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <adeepv> I had to disassemble the whole thing to prove it. luckily I found the right binary from my neighbors.

[Discord] <rpardini> btw how goes mainline S4 / T7? I've not kept up
