09:16 <manawyrm> jn: haha, small world :)

09:16 <manawyrm> and hi :)

09:16 <manawyrm> (this stuff in openocd is not related to ppc though, instead it's for BMC ARM CPUs -> https://github.com/amboar/culvert/pull/57 )

09:21 <PaulFertser> manawyrm: oh, that's very cool!

09:21 <PaulFertser> Are you porting OpenBMC to a new target?

09:24 <PaulFertser> Is that one of those Gigabyte MJ11-EC1

09:25 <PaulFertser> BTW, have you considered "just" adding a TCP transport to CMSIS-DAP/DAPLINK protocol? It's openly documented, has good batching support in OpenOCD etc.

09:25 <Haohmaru> did someone say daplink and TCP

10:17 <manawyrm> PaulFertser: heh, I was one of the people responsible for the MJ11-EC1 back when they were in service where all of those came from :)

10:17 <manawyrm> But that's just a lucky accident, really

10:17 <manawyrm> I'm doing BMC stuff at another cloud provider now and needed this feature to debug some OpenBMC trouble there

14:09 <PaulFertser> manawyrm: kernel level? How do you find OpenBMC so far?

14:12 <manawyrm> PaulFertser: Yeah, early kernel decompression in a special edge case

14:13 <manawyrm> I think it's related to a super old ARM11 core errata, but I'm not quite sure yet

14:13 <manawyrm> OpenBMC is a welcome change from AMIs SDKs, at least it's a unified platform so far.

14:29 <PaulFertser> I'm working with OpenBMC as part of my dayjob and not happy at all. Yes, it's open, but IMHO the project has too few sane maintainers and too many corporate monkey coders to be enjoyable.

14:41 <manawyrm> PaulFertser: I didn't want to say it this clearly, but yeah, well...

14:41 <manawyrm> But it's better than what we had previously.

22:17 <PaulFertser> manawyrm: btw, gpioset 0 4=0 is not guaranteed to continue driving the pin low, depending on the driver the default state might be floating. This whole libgpiod API is messy and surprising.

22:20 <PaulFertser> And specifically on ast2500 bmc soc using gpioset works as expected only while the process continues running and holding that file descriptor.
