thats about a functional FM radio in droid4 :O
<buZz>
>
<buZz>
There is also a TX firmware. The Droid 4's chip should support this,
<buZz>
but I don't know if there is audio routing for this feature.
<buZz>
wtf
<sicelo>
the radio does work in android. i've used it, so it should work in linux. i did try the stuff on that page. iirc it didn't work because serdev
<sicelo>
s/radio/receiver/
<buZz>
i'm kinda suprised its a v4l2 device
<sicelo>
what should it be? :-)
<sicelo>
v4l2 is used for most media stuff that has controls (besides mixers, of course)
<sicelo>
even the TX is a v4l2 device
<buZz>
the FM TX?
<sicelo>
yes
<buZz>
oh, FM TX works in android too?
<sicelo>
no idea
<sicelo>
i meant, fm tx is a v4l2 function. not necessarily in connection with working on d4
<sicelo>
tbh, i don't know what chip has fm tx on d4, although i've heard it mentioned.
<buZz>
that thread seems to suggest the same chip
<sicelo>
ah
<sicelo>
that would need an antenna though
<buZz>
yes, RX aswell, according to that thread
<buZz>
the antenna = headphone cable
<sicelo>
i mean TX ..
<sicelo>
RX is usually always the headphone. but i'm not sure the same one will work well for TX
<buZz>
well, wavelength is the same :P
<Wizzup>
dsc_: cmake, automake, pick your poison :p
<buZz>
build.sh
<buZz>
:P
<sicelo>
loooks like wifi is broken (at least for N900) on 6.2-rc1 :'(
<sicelo>
buZz: at least N900 has a separate, shorter antenna for tx
<buZz>
yeah, thats really nice
<Wizzup>
sicelo: any progress on the modem oops so far?
<sicelo>
no. no serial :-)
<Wizzup>
I'm not sure how the serial matters, it resets with a known trace right?
<Wizzup>
or do you mean it's harder for you to bisect?
<sicelo>
yes, not easy to bisect this if you can't see how/where it fails
<sicelo>
but i'll try
<sicelo>
the problem is that going back, you end up with non-working screen, and for my skill levels, things get confusing quickly at that point. i think serial will help a lot
<buZz>
sicelo: do you need me to make you such a cable?
<buZz>
i still need to make one for myself
<sicelo>
will make it soon ... the stuff that's been keeping me too busy is almost over now. last bits should be out of the way by weekend hopefully
<buZz>
but would be more motivated if second one is needed :P
<sicelo>
buZz: i'll make it, but very rudimentary
<buZz>
hehe is there any other way?
<buZz>
fyi; the 18650 holder droid4 emptied itself over night, while connected to charger :) will replace cables later today probably
<sicelo>
i mean - just putting things together so it works, at least for RX side (this doesn't need level conversion too)
<Wizzup>
sicelo: I think going back to the version that worked, with the revert, adding some prints to see if it uses dma or not, and which paths it takes, is helpful
<buZz>
i think i'd just make it '6 pins' so i can use those cheapass USB-UART things i have around
<Wizzup>
but I do not have a good understanding of how it works
<buZz>
2.7V .. i think that should work with a 3.3V uart without issues?
<Wizzup>
nope
<Wizzup>
you'll burn the ports
<Wizzup>
read the page ;)
<Wizzup>
>For kernel debugging purposes one wants to have access to a serial port on embedded hardware. The Nokia N900 has such a port available, but it’s under the battery and is not 3.3 Volt tolerant (so no cheap USB-TTL Adapters can be used).
<buZz>
oh, n900
<Wizzup>
yes, d4 cable is trivial
<buZz>
i thought it was about d4 :)
<sicelo>
okay looks like the N900 wifi breakage might just be as simple as making some adjustments in dts
<sicelo>
they did some work on wl1251
<sicelo>
for the serial/modem, i think it would have been easier if i knew how to make mtdoops or pstore work

Hello everyone, do you need to upload a new image to the SD card or is there another way to update?
<Wizzup>
typically, normal updates are installed with 'apt update' and 'apt upgrade'
<Wizzup>
or 'apt dist-upgrade' even
<buZz>
kinda depends how old the install is :)
<buZz>
but -usually- just apt update; apt upgrade; works fine
<Guest47>
ok thanks
<Guest47>
Is there a way to install multi-boot on the latest version from the community? (10/10/2015 - 2011/21/38-1Tmaemo11+thumb0)
<Guest47>
Nokia N900
<sicelo>
multi-boot?
<Guest47>
Yes, downloading maemo-leste via a laptop every time is not convenient.

i'm not sure i follow :-)
<Wizzup>
Guest47: install leste on the sd card, then you can boot from fremantle/cssu on emmc and leste from sd
<sicelo>
Wizzup: i'm bisecting now for the wireless regression. i know it was working in 6.1-rc7, and it's broken in 6.2-rc1. should i do a `make mrproper` between builds?
Twig has joined #maemo-leste
<Wizzup>
I honestly don't know, sorry
<Wizzup>
if you have a powerful machine, then probably a good idea
<sicelo>
actually,let me add wireless tree, so i don't waste time moving around unrelated points in the history
<Wizzup>
to the bisect you mean?
<sicelo>
i mean add a remote for one of the wireless-* repos, then bisect from that, i hope
<sicelo>
and of course, if you come up with a nicer keymap for yourself, you can show it here, and open a PR against leste so it can be added for other pp users. or open it against upstream xkb, whichever you prefer :-)
<buZz>
i think norayr is talking about console keymap?
<buZz>
instead of xorg
<sicelo>
xkb map, perse said ... anyway let's hear which was meant
<norayr>
i need an xkb map
<norayr>
let me see your link
<sicelo>
buZz: at least i can see Alt + 7 => - in that xkb-data commit
<norayr>
do you think 'setxkbmap -model pinephone' should work? it works now but nothing changes.
<norayr>
ah ppkb it is called
<norayr>
witth current map it didn't work.
<norayr>
i'll try to replace the files. the file? let me see.
<norayr>
btw, uvos, volume up or down doesn't trigger the onscreen kbd on pp.
<sicelo>
norayr: so leste has forked xkb-data, and that fork doesn't have anything for pp
