<tenkawa42> yeah I already had their site bookmarked
<DC-IRC>
<tenkawa42> just didn't know you were using that repo
<DC-IRC>
<tenkawa42> Unfortunately looks like mainline risc-v is going to slowdown for a while so I might look at it again.... risc-v major targets are back to 6.6
<DC-IRC>
<.richn> clear
<DC-IRC>
<lanefu> not sure what i'm trying to do now
<DC-IRC>
<kwiboo> @lanefu for rock 5b plain u-boot v2023.07.02 should work for most parts, beside nvme, not sure collabora have included pcie3/nvme support in their tree yet
<DC-IRC>
<tenkawa42> hey.. it actually boots....
<DC-IRC>
<tenkawa42> @kwiboo I think that "was" collabora's
<DC-IRC>
<tenkawa42> that was what he was working on earlier
<DC-IRC>
<kwiboo> Yes, that is why I mentioned that plain v2023.07.02 should have very similar support as collabora tree
<DC-IRC>
<tenkawa42> plain has worked for ages
<DC-IRC>
<tenkawa42> It got upstreamed months ago afaik
<DC-IRC>
<tenkawa42> Its still unavailable for most Khadas boards so I've been uninterested
<DC-IRC>
<tenkawa42> (more..non-functional than unavailable)
<DC-IRC>
<kwiboo> v2023.07.02 is first good working version for both rk3588 and rk3568, mostly adding boards that is in pipe now
<DC-IRC>
<tenkawa42> Sadly there seems to be very few mainline resources for Khadas hardware
<DC-IRC>
<tenkawa42> Yeah my 3568 works great.. too bad the board (Odroid-M1) is just not really anything that special
<DC-IRC>
<tenkawa42> Nice and solid unit... just not going to win any speed awards
<DC-IRC>
<lanefu> boards i see in the collabora uboot
<DC-IRC>
<Tonymac32> Nice. Need to get on that train with the T6
<DC-IRC>
<kwiboo> @lanefu as I mentioned you might as well use mainline u-boot v2023.07.02 instead of collabora rc4, only diff should be usb3+dfu support and rock5a defconf
<DC-IRC>
<Tonymac32> I might brave the mailing list and submit the T6 dts to mainline, but #doubt
<DC-IRC>
<tenkawa42> they have JH7110 u-boot updates in it appears
<DC-IRC>
<tenkawa42> I wonder what they've updated for Risc-V....
<DC-IRC>
<tenkawa42> the 3588s support looks very minimal overall in the overall devicetree files
<DC-IRC>
<tenkawa42> 3588 not much better
<DC-IRC>
<tenkawa42> 3399 and 3328 has still the most coverage it appears
<DC-IRC>
<kwiboo> I will try to review any new board that hit the list, looking for possible issues even if I cannot runtime test 🙂
<DC-IRC>
<tenkawa42> 3568 looking better
<DC-IRC>
<kwiboo> Pine64 quartz64 and soquartz board should hit the list tomorrow
<DC-IRC>
<lanefu> Nice I have a soquartz and cm3 modules that have been waiting for me to give them the respect they deserve
<DC-IRC>
<lanefu> For other exciting things on horizon
<DC-IRC>
<tenkawa42> imho AT-F is kind of a pain for most practical/daily uses
<DC-IRC>
<tenkawa42> imho ATF is kind of a pain for most practical/daily uses
<DC-IRC>
<lanefu> I barely understand what it does other than less-sketchy blobs
<DC-IRC>
<mariob> atf is really useful
<DC-IRC>
<mariob> it can (and does) provide various services to the OS, such as scmi for clock management
<DC-IRC>
<tenkawa42> Only if it is utilized
<DC-IRC>
<tenkawa42> SCMI is also another horribly designed pile
<DC-IRC>
<tenkawa42> It has had too many conflicting implementations
<DC-IRC>
<mariob> it's better than nothing
<DC-IRC>
<mariob> nothing = any non-standard way of dealing with clocks
<DC-IRC>
<tenkawa42> No.. "broken" is not better than nothing
<DC-IRC>
<tenkawa42> broken is "worse" than nothing
<DC-IRC>
<mariob> what is broken here?
<DC-IRC>
<tenkawa42> When there is no "consistency" between vendors and implementations
<DC-IRC>
<mariob> this applies to any other standard, really
<DC-IRC>
<tenkawa42> Just makes me feel like I should be using Broadcom....lol
<DC-IRC>
<tenkawa42> I do agree
<DC-IRC>
<mariob> why lol? that thing is much worse
<DC-IRC>
<mariob> in this regard
<DC-IRC>
<tenkawa42> I laugh because you need to know "my" history with the company
<DC-IRC>
<tenkawa42> I've had dealings with them in the 90's
<DC-IRC>
<tenkawa42> When I was in the telecom industry
<DC-IRC>
<rpardini> damn. there he goes again 😛
<DC-IRC>
<tenkawa42> @rpardini I was wondering when you would respond
<DC-IRC>
<tenkawa42> "stops his stopwatch"
<DC-IRC>
<rpardini> I've a 250 word question about PD negotiation but gave up. will paste later 😉
<DC-IRC>
<tenkawa42> @rpardini were you online... speaking of PD.. when I made a eerie discovery about some plug adapters I have? You have to plug them in physicly twice before they actually start
<DC-IRC>
<tenkawa42> I have 5 of them (several voltages).. they all work the same way
<DC-IRC>
<tenkawa42> I thought they were all dead until I said... oh why not lets try plugging it in twice...
<DC-IRC>
<tenkawa42> all of a sudden... power
<DC-IRC>
<rpardini> PD's tricky.
<DC-IRC>
<tenkawa42> Yeah.... It is "useful" but a dual edge tool
<DC-IRC>
<tenkawa42> Can hurt quickly
<DC-IRC>
<lanefu> do it dude! get your membership card
