<DC-IRC> <terrorpup> 256 MB, you could run a dns server or something simple, but not IoT
<DC-IRC> <nicod_sbc> Boy, they send me something to review and it's only got 256MB. What do I have to do with this?
<DC-IRC> <nicod_sbc> It is kinda dumb. But I'll find something... I hope.
<DC-IRC> <terrorpup> They keep sending R Seriers board, I don't need routers
<DC-IRC> <terrorpup> Good Luck
<DC-IRC> <nicod_sbc> Thanks. I expected at least 512MB πŸ˜† Can't even run my benchmarks.
<DC-IRC> <terrorpup> Ouch
<DC-IRC> <nicod_sbc> And... They are using this stupid patition this where filesystem only has 3.2GB and a userdata partition. Why do people do that? I'm now even unable to install any software. So many vendor software come like this these days. It's stupid.
<DC-IRC> <terrorpup> Sound like android
<DC-IRC> <nicod_sbc> Indeed. It is the Android partitioning way.
<DC-IRC> <terrorpup> But remember Banana-Pi loves to their 8 Gig emmc for some strange reason
<DC-IRC> <terrorpup> OMG, that's an Android file system
<DC-IRC> <nicod_sbc> Everything vendor that's Rockchip comes like that these days. I don't get it.
<DC-IRC> <nicod_sbc> I know there's a way to use it, you got to give the user rights for it and so. But it's stupid.
<DC-IRC> <terrorpup> I need to learn the Ambrian Build, for now let me get in mine up
<DC-IRC> <nicod_sbc> Armbian build is very simple. At least it can be simple.
<DC-IRC> <terrorpup> hmmm, if there was only a video that explains how too, LOL
<DC-IRC> <terrorpup> Oh, wait there is
<DC-IRC> <nicod_sbc> I made tons of them.
<DC-IRC> <terrorpup> I know that why I was laughing
<DC-IRC> <terrorpup> my text doesn't come across funny
montjoie has quit [Ping timeout: 255 seconds]
<DC-IRC> <tenkawa42> videos... the one thing you won't see me do... Ironic considering how much live instruction I do here where I live.
<DC-IRC> <tenkawa42> I am just not good in front of a camera (imo)
<DC-IRC> <nicod_sbc> I fell into it. Never thought I'd be doing that.
montjoie has joined #armbian-rockchip
<DC-IRC> <tenkawa42> Ironic even considering I have been a DJ so being in front of an audience isn't even a problem either.
<DC-IRC> <nicod_sbc> I'm no good in front of camera either. I stutter like crazy and constantly repeat my sentences until they come out a bit ok. And that's all cut out.
<DC-IRC> <terrorpup> I needed to do it, it's a release
<DC-IRC> <terrorpup> plus I am learning a lot too
<DC-IRC> <terrorpup> oh, if ppl like this can make video
<DC-IRC> <terrorpup> This guy video seem more of rant and boosting
<DC-IRC> <nicod_sbc> Is that Eli the computerguy?
<DC-IRC> <terrorpup> yes
<DC-IRC> <terrorpup> I didn't like his video
<DC-IRC> <nicod_sbc> wtf, didn't know he was still making videos.
<DC-IRC> <nicod_sbc> He's not a pleasant person to watch, annoys me a lot.
<DC-IRC> <terrorpup> Yeah
<DC-IRC> <nicod_sbc> But I do that to others I guess πŸ™‚
<DC-IRC> <terrorpup> Me too
<DC-IRC> <filoozom> Hey, has anyone here had luck with the NanoPC T6? Armbian does boot on SD, but installing it to eMMC never works.
<DC-IRC> <terrorpup> I was up at 4am that come up my feed
<DC-IRC> <terrorpup> UART Cable?
<DC-IRC> <nicod_sbc> How did you install to eMMC?
<DC-IRC> <terrorpup> @filoozom find the speed for the board, and hook up the UART to, I wonder if you need to update SPI to boot from eMMC
<DC-IRC> <filoozom> With `armbian-install`, is that not the right way?
<DC-IRC> <nicod_sbc> Yes it is.
<DC-IRC> <filoozom> I'm connected via the UART
<DC-IRC> <nicod_sbc> Did it show install to eMMC?
<DC-IRC> <filoozom> Actually the kernel boots but then panics because something's trying to kill pid 1
<DC-IRC> <filoozom> Yeah. But I'm getting 2 lines of input / output errors
<DC-IRC> <filoozom> (Tried this on two different boards by the way, so I doubt that the eMMC has an issue)
<DC-IRC> <filoozom> Also it should have a functional SPI, but that being said I seem to have bricked one the boards someho
<DC-IRC> <filoozom> Also it should have a functional SPI, but that being said I seem to have bricked one the boards somehow
<DC-IRC> <terrorpup> pid 1 = systemd
<DC-IRC> <filoozom> Right, it panics right after "starting kernel..." before starting anything
<DC-IRC> <tenkawa42> no pid is init
<DC-IRC> <tenkawa42> er pid 1
<DC-IRC> <tenkawa42> not systemd
<DC-IRC> <nicod_sbc> Don't worry, you can unbrick them. At least other RK3588 boards, I don't have the T6.
<DC-IRC> <filoozom> How? πŸ˜€
<DC-IRC> <nicod_sbc> With others it's connecting 2 pads at boot.
<DC-IRC> <filoozom> Right, that's what they call the "MASQ", but even with that I can't boot anything
<DC-IRC> <terrorpup> @tenkawa42 Ah, usually it is, it was bring the system up
<DC-IRC> <terrorpup> 1 ? Ss 1:35 /usr/lib/systemd/systemd --switched-root --system --deserialize=32****
<DC-IRC> <terrorpup> there is another SystemD
<DC-IRC> <tenkawa42> @filoozom does it give you multiple lines of boot over and over repetitively then fail
<DC-IRC> <tenkawa42> @terrorpup that is a pseudo process id 1
<DC-IRC> <filoozom> No, just straight fail
<DC-IRC> <c0rnelius77> boasting?
<DC-IRC> <tenkawa42> Yeah that sounds like a corrupted image
<DC-IRC> <terrorpup> 1422 ? Ss 0:33 /usr/bin/dbus-daemon --system --address=systemd: --nofork --nopidfile --systemd-activation --syslog-only
<DC-IRC> <terrorpup> This comes after udev/journctl starting
<DC-IRC> <tenkawa42> thats not systemd eother
<DC-IRC> <tenkawa42> thats dbus
<DC-IRC> <terrorpup> Well, I have read at systemd because of the --address
<DC-IRC> <filoozom> I've flashed the image to an SD and then installed it at least 10 different times
<DC-IRC> <filoozom> I've flashed the image to an SD and then installed it at least 10 different times at this point
<DC-IRC> <filoozom> Tried collabra, edge, minimal, standard
<DC-IRC> <terrorpup> can you boot with SD?
<DC-IRC> <filoozom> With SD it boots fine
<DC-IRC> <filoozom> (Well, the one I didn't brick)
<DC-IRC> <terrorpup> Ok, install gpart and wipe your emmc and try again
<DC-IRC> <terrorpup> Ok, install gparted and wipe your emmc and try again
<DC-IRC> <tenkawa42> Yeah thats a good idea.. he might just have a uboot corrupted
<DC-IRC> <filoozom> Doesn't `armbian-install` fix the uboot?
<DC-IRC> <tenkawa42> (in the hidden areas)
<DC-IRC> <tenkawa42> not always
<DC-IRC> <terrorpup> I had to do that a few on a couple Banana-Pi
<DC-IRC> <tenkawa42> a dd wipe is cleaner
<DC-IRC> <filoozom> Sure, I can do that
<DC-IRC> <tenkawa42> or gparted
<DC-IRC> <filoozom> Although I'm pretty sure I've tried that before as well
<DC-IRC> <terrorpup> gparted is easier if you don't know how to do a dd
<DC-IRC> <tenkawa42> indeed
<DC-IRC> <filoozom> No I'm normally a pretty advanced linux user, I just forget all the uboot / ARM stuff all the time because I don't use it that often
<DC-IRC> <filoozom> Also generally prefer Alpine. Got it running on RK3399 but can't seem to on RK3588 yet πŸ˜…
<DC-IRC> <filoozom> And don't want to spend weeks on it again haha
<DC-IRC> <tenkawa42> @terrorpup too bad these wont work to a strong magnet lol
<DC-IRC> <terrorpup> Man, the Magnet Gun we has the station was great for clean stuff, I wipe out a few games by mistake because I was too close when I use to zapped a bunch audio tapes for making new production
<DC-IRC> <filoozom> And what do you need to do after that?
<DC-IRC> <filoozom> Do you even need uboot on eMMC + SPI?
<DC-IRC> <tenkawa42> oops
<DC-IRC> <nicod_sbc> You need RKDevTool to write spi and image after un-bricking it.
<DC-IRC> <filoozom> Ah, that's kind of what I figured but didn't have any luck. Is it in "Upgrade Firmware" and then select the u-boot image?
<DC-IRC> <tenkawa42> @terrorpup you were right about systemd proc 1 .. unfortunately me discovering this uncovered something I didn't like finding in the way it presents the process to the os.. its a symlink... thats kind of dangerous
<DC-IRC> <tenkawa42> if I break the /sbin/init link at any point on the other end I'm toast
<DC-IRC> <nicod_sbc> @filoozom Here an example with Mekotronics board. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1rcAOf_ealADDLF7QpzvGRHXPV66ftgwP/view?usp=drive_link
<DC-IRC> <tenkawa42> /sbin/init shouldn't be a symlink imo... minimally a hardlink
<DC-IRC> <filoozom> Does this flash a full OS to the eMMC or just an image on the SPI?
<DC-IRC> <nicod_sbc> This is for their images. One moment.
<DC-IRC> <filoozom> I've had no luck at all with RKDevTool, but I can't remember the error, I'll have to check again tomorrow
<DC-IRC> <tenkawa42> Cheers all.. time to head out til tomorrow..
<DC-IRC> <nicod_sbc> In this video I show how to install Armbian on Rockchip device with RKDevTool.
<DC-IRC> <nicod_sbc> minute 5 for Armbian.
<DC-IRC> <nicod_sbc> It's the same for all RK3588 devices. Need to do it with some that don't have sd-card reader
<DC-IRC> <filoozom> Brilliant, thanks! Will try tomorrow!
<DC-IRC> <filoozom> Can the fact that on the bricked board I can't boot from SD anymore be related to a broken SPI?
DC-IRC has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
DC-IRC has joined #armbian-rockchip
<DC-IRC> <nicod_sbc> Possible.
<DC-IRC> <gambl0r> @amazingfate I'm using your opensuse GPU debs on opi5+ bookworm with KDE plasma. It works and it's semi stable. Thanks
<DC-IRC> <amazingfate> Glad to hear that :).
<DC-IRC> <rpardini> Pushed Joshua's rebase to https://github.com/armbian/linux-rockchip/tree/rk-5.10-rkr6
<DC-IRC> <rpardini> Built a few images with it, they do boot on mine, but didn't do extensive testing.
<DC-IRC> <rpardini> Images at https://github.com/rpardini/armbian-release/releases/tag/23.10.01-rpardini-570 (kedge2 / meko / mixtile / opi5 / opi5plus / opi3b / rock5a / rock5b)
<DC-IRC> <tenkawa42> What I can't figure out is why Rockchip/et others don't try to move it forward more than past 5.10.160... that's starting to age quickly
<DC-IRC> <rpardini> No idea, but my guess is .161 has a huge conflict with their stuff, so they just gave up
<DC-IRC> <tenkawa42> Probably
<DC-IRC> <efectn> Do you have kernel packages
<DC-IRC> <rpardini> Yep, in my testing repo, for debs:
<DC-IRC> <efectn> The dormitory i stay has really bad internet πŸ˜‚ Chrome tells me it will take 1-2 hours to download the kernel package
<DC-IRC> <rpardini> Yeah I've a gigabit link, although repo is served by a rk3568.
<DC-IRC> <terrorpup> @tenkawa42 I've been doing Linux for 24 years now, I started in 97 with slackware, I had to learn about Systemd as RH/SUSE use it, I also had to get up to spead on journctl, I am really hoping that what I read that systemd isn't gonna take over /home
<DC-IRC> <terrorpup> there's been talk for a few years
<DC-IRC> <Tonymac32> The NanoPC-T6 images are WIP, I haven't read back through the whole history but which kernel are you trying to use?
<DC-IRC> <filoozom> Tried 6.6.0 collabora and edge
<DC-IRC> <filoozom> Tried 6.6.0 collabora and edge. Didn't bother with current.
<DC-IRC> <Tonymac32> Ok yeah, anything mainline or mainline-adjascent will be a no-go on eMMC for now, something buggy going on with the controller
<DC-IRC> <Tonymac32> Might need slowed down
<DC-IRC> <filoozom> Ah I see, sad πŸ˜… I'll keep it on the SD card then, but I'm assuming there's no easy way to run it in RAM?
<DC-IRC> <filoozom> Ah or maybe place the root partition on eMMC and only boot from the SD?
<DC-IRC> <filoozom> Or does the eMMC not work at all, in which case maybe on NVMe?
<DC-IRC> <Tonymac32> Boot SD, root on NVMe should work
<DC-IRC> <Tonymac32> I haven't tried SPI yet because of my lack of faith in Rockchip u-boot
<DC-IRC> <filoozom> Yeah, there's always problems with Rockchip. But who else? πŸ˜…
<DC-IRC> <tenkawa42> Oh god no.. if that happens help us all... btw I started with slackware too in 93... I still think systemd is an abomination
<DC-IRC> <efectn> Hs200 works
<DC-IRC> <efectn> There are some io errors with hs400
<DC-IRC> <tenkawa42> don't touch that chip... it might be too warm.....
<DC-IRC> <tenkawa42> that's pushing it fairly hard isn't it?
<DC-IRC> <Tonymac32> Routing or phase tuning issues most likely
<DC-IRC> <Tonymac32> Or maybe the clock subsystem is still a bit off
<DC-IRC> <lanefu> You see that talk from SRE? Where short-term on mainline a bunch of things have to just be set in the on state full-time
<DC-IRC> <kwiboo> Mainline possible use wrong/bad txtap value for hs400 timings, 0xA, compared to vendor kernel and what I used in mainline u-boot, 0x9
<DC-IRC> <efectn> Cool will try to patch it tomorrow
<DC-IRC> <kwiboo> https://github.com/Kwiboo/linux-rockchip/commit/f805679708cf909cdc30777fc5e4d9d5c4a1fe46 is a patch I have been meaning to test for some time now
<DC-IRC> <kwiboo> that also include changes in strbin delay num and tapnum, used those values when I tested different emmc speeds for rk356x and rk3588 in mainline u-boot, should match latest vendor kernel
<DC-IRC> <terrorpup> @nicod_sbc So, I got my board too, and it 256M as well
<DC-IRC> <terrorpup> There nothing on their site about a 256MB model
<DC-IRC> <nicod_sbc> On the wiki it states 256/512MB
<DC-IRC> <nicod_sbc> I really don't know what to do with it. I would have to use swapfile to run anything not using hundreds of MB.
<DC-IRC> <terrorpup> they need to get their product page to make the wiki
<DC-IRC> <terrorpup> Yeah, I am going to do a setup video and webpage, it go a mic, so I guess a spy devices
<DC-IRC> <terrorpup> but I know what you mean
<DC-IRC> <nicod_sbc> I seen it somewhere but most places only 512MB is mentioned.
<DC-IRC> <terrorpup> Nothing here states 256
<DC-IRC> <terrorpup> I can test the PoE, I have a dell switch that does PoE, other than that I need to think small
<DC-IRC> <nicod_sbc> The CPU probably isn't that bad. Very power efficient it should be. So for anything battery powered, but with no memory not much can be run.
<DC-IRC> <terrorpup> kinda wish puppylinux or damnsmalllinux were on Arm
<DC-IRC> <terrorpup> No Camera IO, so you can't use for Video
<DC-IRC> <terrorpup> I don't think USB would support one power wise
<DC-IRC> <terrorpup> I need to figure out why wifi/bt are showing up
<DC-IRC> <terrorpup> hmmm, anyone seen this with other rockchips?
<DC-IRC> <tenkawa42> that is definitely a 256mb chip no matter what all the docs/wiki's say
<DC-IRC> <tenkawa42> Thats the dimm on the board
<DC-IRC> <tenkawa42> 2356mb
<DC-IRC> <tenkawa42> 256mb
<DC-IRC> <terrorpup> @tenkawa42 did they send you one?
<DC-IRC> <tenkawa42> no.. zoom in here
<DC-IRC> <terrorpup> AH
<DC-IRC> <terrorpup> so dmesg, you can see it trying to bring up the bt/wifi, but it not starting, I think the current image is missing a bit
<DC-IRC> <terrorpup> but, you can see they made sure to enable ALSA, so the mic probably hot
<DC-IRC> <tenkawa42> just that rockchip-thermal message looks like a bad dtb
<DC-IRC> <terrorpup> I was talking about the x.509, I never seen one compile on start up
<DC-IRC> <tenkawa42> I hate that clk warning message.. I disable it in my kernels (you have to do it manually)
<DC-IRC> <tenkawa42> the NOTICE thing has nothing to do with x.509

<DC-IRC> <terrorpup> ok, I am still reading dmesg, trying to see what else is there, @nicod_sbc was right, the filesystem does look like android, why?! Oh, my God, who in the Hell uses ext2 any more

<DC-IRC> <tenkawa42> just a sec let me get the pkg name
<DC-IRC> <tenkawa42> is sources working?
<DC-IRC> <tenkawa42> or net?
<DC-IRC> <tenkawa42> or at least a usb/microsd?
<DC-IRC> <tenkawa42> its a standalone pkg
<DC-IRC> <terrorpup> Thevy got I think Avandi install because /etc/resolv.conf doesn't have my dhcp setting
<DC-IRC> <tenkawa42> yeah
<DC-IRC> <tenkawa42> thats fairly standard

<DC-IRC> <tenkawa42> that could be netplan too

<DC-IRC> <tenkawa42> lol
<DC-IRC> <jkent.net> (4 * 1024 * 1024 * 1024) / 8 = 512 MB
<DC-IRC> <terrorpup> LOL, so if it what I think, it will keep overwriting until you stop the service
<DC-IRC> <terrorpup> This reminds of a few back when I had to rev. engineer some FreeBSD boxes because no one had a clue what the system admin install and what was running on it
<DC-IRC> <tenkawa42> @terrorpup is the resolv.conf file a link or by itself?
<DC-IRC> <terrorpup> @jkent.net
<DC-IRC> <jkent.net> it might be a hardware bringup issue in the kernel
<DC-IRC> <terrorpup> @tenkawa42 let me go look
<DC-IRC> <tenkawa42> @jkent.net I checked the part # on the chip.. its a 256 mb chip
<DC-IRC> <terrorpup> you are bring back nightmare from the late 90's when the kernel had to be compile to support a lot of memory, the weekends I lost compiling
<DC-IRC> <terrorpup> You never compiled until you compile on 486 with 32MB of memory and staying up 72 hours making sure you kernel compile without an error
<DC-IRC> <terrorpup> @tenkawa42 nope, update dns
<DC-IRC> <jkent.net> @tenkawa42 4Gb is 512 MiB, not 256 MiB
<DC-IRC> <tenkawa42> 4gb what?
<DC-IRC> <jkent.net> thats 4Gb (gigabits)
<DC-IRC> <tenkawa42> noone said anything about 4gb
<DC-IRC> <jkent.net> ram is mesaured in bits not bytes
<DC-IRC> <jkent.net> when dealing with chips
<DC-IRC> <tenkawa42> Organization
<DC-IRC> <tenkawa42> 256M x 16
<DC-IRC> <tenkawa42> you are reading something completely different
<DC-IRC> <tenkawa42> its 4gb dense
<DC-IRC> <nicod_sbc> Is it ddr2?
<DC-IRC> <tenkawa42> this can't even be the right chip
<DC-IRC> <tenkawa42> contrary to what it says
<DC-IRC> <jkent.net> it has a 16-bit wide bus
<DC-IRC> <tenkawa42> I agree with jkent
<DC-IRC> <jkent.net> its probably being initialized as a 8-bit wide device
<DC-IRC> <jkent.net> causing the 256 MiB
<DC-IRC> <tenkawa42> Reading the details there's no way this stamping is accurate
<DC-IRC> <tenkawa42> I think they put the other model pic on the wiki
<DC-IRC> <tenkawa42> (there's 3 models)
<DC-IRC> <jkent.net> Ah.
<DC-IRC> <tenkawa42> I found another one.. completely diff chip
<DC-IRC> <tenkawa42> Can't read the part # though
<DC-IRC> <tenkawa42> its too fuzzy
<DC-IRC> <tenkawa42> bbl... gotta make dinner lol
<DC-IRC> <tenkawa42> @terrorpup if you can get them on there get locales and locales-all then it should let you configure it
<DC-IRC> <terrorpup> I am updating time, now

<DC-IRC> <tenkawa42> (unless you really want utc heheheh)
<DC-IRC> <terrorpup> Only at work, I was just going to point to my ntpd server
<DC-IRC> <terrorpup> lucky it on there
<DC-IRC> <terrorpup> ntp I mean
<DC-IRC> <tenkawa42> you'll need to reconfigure tzdata though to make it show up in localtime
<DC-IRC> <terrorpup> it only 9:04 UTC
<DC-IRC> <nicod_sbc> I send a mail to my BPi contact for more info.
<DC-IRC> <tenkawa42> yeah that sounds like ntp catchup πŸ™‚
<DC-IRC> <tenkawa42> needed
<DC-IRC> <tenkawa42> just use rdate
<DC-IRC> <tenkawa42> if you need manual
<DC-IRC> <tenkawa42> I like rdate -s time.mit.edu in the states personally
<DC-IRC> <terrorpup> I am good now, I was about to see if I could get chronyd working
<DC-IRC> <terrorpup> I am cooking with gas now
<DC-IRC> <tenkawa42> nice
<DC-IRC> <tenkawa42> done with dinner
<DC-IRC> <tenkawa42> Not sure about the rest of you in the Northern Hemisphere however it is way too warm for this time of year here.... very .. odd
<DC-IRC> <terrorpup> sort of it not changing the locale
<DC-IRC> <tenkawa42> in x or console?
<DC-IRC> <tenkawa42> if in x you might be missing fonts too.. check you have these set in your env too (with appropriate language/charset for your region)
<DC-IRC> <tenkawa42> LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8
<DC-IRC> <tenkawa42> LANG=en_US.UTF-8
<DC-IRC> <tenkawa42> LC_MESSAGES=en_US.UTF-8
<DC-IRC> <tenkawa42> LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8
<DC-IRC> <terrorpup> no console, keeps reverting to Chanese
<DC-IRC> <terrorpup> I will figure it out
<DC-IRC> <tenkawa42> ahhh you might need dpkg-reconfigure console-setup
<DC-IRC> <tenkawa42> I formerly worked on mult-language support on Unix... but not on Linux in my business/working life... Linux support was never very good by the time I stopped working.
