<Jason123> ok then I think the cables I have work
<popolon>
I may be should have installed xfce-destktop (or other name metapackage then). I thought it was already in default gnome
<popolon>
That was the last thing missing to have a good workstation anyway... The old package (and sometimes trangly packaged) in ubuntu is still always an half pain, but I believe it's fine globaly
<Armbian-Discord>
<IgorPec> those meta packages might also not be fully ok
<Armbian-Discord>
<Tenkawa> If I'm reading this patch right its still nothing more than whats needed to bring up the serial console and thats all.. so its still not near ready to use yet
<Armbian-Discord>
<Tenkawa> from the dts:
<Armbian-Discord>
<Tenkawa> Add board file for the RK3588 Rock 5B board. This is a basic
<Armbian-Discord>
<Tenkawa> implementation which just brings up the eMMC and UART which is
<Armbian-Discord>
<Tenkawa> enough to successfully boot Linux.
<Armbian-Discord>
<Tenkawa> The ethernet controller is connected via PCIe so support will
<Armbian-Discord>
<Tenkawa> come in a follow-up patch.
<Armbian-Discord>
<Tenkawa> Its from the original work they did Dec 14..
<Armbian-Discord>
<Tenkawa> the official kernel.org repo still has everything in -HEAD..Nothing else has been mainlined yet into an official integration rc.
<CosmicDJ>
bummer
<archetech>
explain why kernel patchwork exists if those cant be added w/o official approval
<archetech>
if theres code avail why cant somebody try that code
<archetech>
cuz the dts is avail that enables cpie its working on 5.10.x
<archetech>
cpie=pcie
<Armbian-Discord>
<Tenkawa> it works on 5.10.. not 6.1 which is what he wanted
<Armbian-Discord>
<Tenkawa> and its not mainline
<Armbian-Discord>
<Tenkawa> its pulling from prepared sources
<archetech>
ill ask again if pcie works on 5.10 why not 6.2 ?
<Armbian-Discord>
<Tenkawa> There are no kernel.org mainline sources "released" for rk3588
<archetech>
cant they still be used unofficially
<archetech>
dont need "released" wnat a hacked nasry patch on to 6.2
<Armbian-Discord>
<Tenkawa> sure
<archetech>
want*
<Armbian-Discord>
<Tenkawa> but "nothing" is ready for 6.x yet besides a serial console
<popolon>
6.2rc1 is released but don't have all the full patch for boot
<Armbian-Discord>
<Tenkawa> no its not
<Armbian-Discord>
<Tenkawa> it has nothing
<archetech>
I know im asking is there ANY way around that
<popolon>
it has clocks, network, etc...
<Armbian-Discord>
<Tenkawa> archetech: yes if you want to do hours of manual debugging just for a serial console and nothing more..
<popolon>
* 6.2-rc2 is out since yeasterday
<Armbian-Discord>
<Tenkawa> no devices/etc
<archetech>
cant somebody take the working 5.10 bsp code and slap it on to 6.2rc?
<Armbian-Discord>
<Tenkawa> popolan: and it "still" has 0 support for rk3588
<Armbian-Discord>
<Tenkawa> go look at kernel.org git
<Armbian-Discord>
<Tenkawa> or the rc2 source
<popolon>
I looked at the source of the 6.2-rc2 and git of kernel.org
<popolon>
both have
<popolon>
for example grepRK3588 sound/soc/rockchip/rockchip_i2s_tdm.c
<popolon>
for example grep RK3588 sound/soc/rockchip/rockchip_i2s_tdm.c
<Armbian-Discord>
<Tenkawa> popolon: that is nothing
<popolon>
(among the patchs for linux/next marked as 6.2
<popolon>
all described in patches are enabled
<popolon>
boot is still missing
<popolon>
there was no path, and now there is nothing
<Armbian-Discord>
<Tenkawa> if you dont see the rk3588 dts then you have nothing to make the soc work.. learn how kernels work
<popolon>
Until you have the main dt, I agree you can't use it
<popolon>
but don't say it has nothing done
<popolon>
the boot part is always the last part added
<Armbian-Discord>
<Tenkawa> popolan: no it isn't... that is categorically untrue
<popolon>
need 6.3 for that
<popolon>
how do you boot if clocks settings isn't here ?
<popolon>
that's the most essential thing in every electronic things
<popolon>
and clocks come in the end of the merge window
<Armbian-Discord>
<ManoftheSea> Can uboot pass a dtb even if Linux mainline doesn't have one?
<popolon>
there are 2326 lines containing RK3588 in 6.2rc2, that's not nothing
<popolon>
anyway I don't speak about that again until I booted it :)
<Armbian-Discord>
<Tenkawa> And not all of those are the Rock5
<Armbian-Discord>
<Tenkawa> there is the rk3588S too
<Armbian-Discord>
<Tenkawa> and other 3588's... but I've got to get ready to go shopping... have fun all.
<popolon>
refs are RK3588 not RK3588s, but RK3588s is just a stripped down version of RK3588 :).

archetech: it's not that easy to move code from 5.10 to 6.x; the kernel has so many moving parts; even applying patches (5.10.110 -> 5.10.111) can leave you with patch conflicts or a broken kernel if you don't fix them properly
<lanefu>
archetech: can you take a Ford coyote motor and "slap it in" your blazer ?
<lanefu>
BSP kernel is genetically different than mainline
<nekomancer[m]>
lanefu be careful. possible he can.
<lanefu>
Lol. Yeah I mean you can but whole other ballgame to integrate the electrical vs build it like a track car
<stipa>
archetech: is one of those guys that bends the reality to his own needs
<stipa>
for some reason devs think that it'll all stop one day and be perfect but that's not going to happen as long as the kernel evolves

Hello. I grabbed Armbian_22.11.1_Lepotato_jammy_current_5.19.17_minimal.img.xz and confirmed the sha256 on it. I `unxz`ed it and then `dd`ed it onto an sd card. I connected to the UART on the le potato and all I get is https://dpaste.org/3w1oG/raw
<gp5st>
it's an older 2GB microsd card. I'm not above changing it, but I wasn't sure if it was the card or if it was something I've done wrong or something with the board?
<Armbian-Discord>
<RichN> you need a 7 gig or 4 gig sd
<gp5st>
ah, well then :)
<Armbian-Discord>
<RichN> 2g is way to small now days
<gp5st>
the minimal image was only 1.4GB so i figured it'd work
<gp5st>
but I'll find a larger one somewhere and try again
