+10:53 < wsa_> hi there!
+10:54 < geertu> hi
+10:54 < shimoda> hi!
+10:57 < geertu> horms: The runtime dependencies in me/r8a7795-ravb-driver-and-integration-v2.runtime  are now in -next
+11:00 -!- horms [~horms@121-80-213-238f1.hyg1.eonet.ne.jp] has joined #periperi
+11:00 < wsa_> horms: perfect timing :)
+11:00 < wsa_> morimoto: you there?
+11:00 < horms> hi
+11:00 < morimoto> yes
+11:00 < wsa_> \o/
+11:00 < geertu> horms: The runtime dependencies in me/r8a7795-ravb-driver-and-integration-v2.runtime  are now in -next
+11:01 < horms> nice
+11:02 < wsa_> so, let's start, shall we?
+11:02 < wsa_> mostly Gen3 related topics on the list, what a surprise
+11:03 < wsa_> as i understand, the SPI patches are around but not fully tested due to not connected HW, right?
+11:03 < geertu> Correct
+11:04 < wsa_> and HSCIF and USB func patches are due next week according to our todo-list. is that still true?
+11:04 < geertu> I ran spidev_test on MSIOF
+11:04 < geertu> it seems to work, as far as I can tell from this limited test, both with and without DMA
+11:04 < geertu> HSCIF works, but I haven't resend the patches as all of this depends on the clock-output-names
+11:05 < geertu> (to be or not to be, that is)
+11:05 < wsa_> yes
+11:07 < wsa_> shimoda-san: what about the thermal driver for Gen3? When is it expected?
+11:08 < shimoda> wsa_: this needs end of Nov. in the Gen3 BSP
+11:08 < wsa_> And related: Does somebody know of an updated documentation somewhen soon maybe perhaps? :)
+11:08 < wsa_> end of November, noted
+11:08 < geertu> Newer than 0.50E?
+11:09 < wsa_> yes
+11:09 < wsa_> like with the converstion table for the thermal unit :)
+11:09 < horms> i believe he is specifically referring to thermal documentation
+11:10 < wsa_> I recall morimoto-san said somewhen something about v0.8 being in the making, but I may be wrong there...
+11:11 < morimoto> Now datasheet team is creating v0.8, but I don't know when we can get it
+11:11 < wsa_> ok
+11:12 < wsa_> I'm cheering for them ;)
+11:12 < morimoto> Of course I will forward it to you guys ASAP
+11:12 < wsa_> End of November is also the deadline for the PCIe driver, right?
+11:13 < wsa_> which needs ARM64 updates
+11:13 < shimoda> wsa_: about PCIe, yes
+11:14 < shimoda> BSP team are investigating the PCIe driver to use it on gen3
+11:14 < geertu> I think there are other examples of PCI drivers converted from arm32 to arm32+arm64
+11:15 < shimoda> at the moment, it doesn't work (pcie device (giga nic) is not enumerated )
+11:16 < shimoda> geertu: i think so
+11:17 < wsa_> yes, iproc-driver at least
+11:18 < wsa_> so, BSP team currently researches
+11:18 < wsa_> is there anything we can do right now?
+11:19 < wsa_> regarding PCIe
+11:20 < wsa_> I'd think it makes sense to wait until our boards arrive
+11:20 < wsa_> or is that too late?
+11:20 < horms> it would be nice to have a plan B in place, IMHO
+11:21 < morimoto> About boards, it is under export paper work dark side.
+11:21 < geertu> If Magnus plugs in a PCIe card, it can be done remotely?
+11:21 < morimoto> This is secret, but who goes to ELCE ?
+11:21  * wsa_ goes
+11:21 < morimoto> Our last plan is ELCE
+11:21  * geertu goes
+11:21 < horms> not strictly relevant, but i am not planning to attend in person
+11:22 < geertu> by proxy?
+11:22 < morimoto> Hand Carry is not allowed, but...
+11:22 < horms> geertu: i may phone in if you guys have a meeting
+11:22 < wsa_> i did some enumeration debugging remotely once
+11:22 < geertu> s/if/when/
+11:22 < morimoto> Simon is no problem, beacuse you are in Japan :)
+11:23 < wsa_> so we could ask Magnus about adding a PCIe card
+11:23 < wsa_> I will do this
+11:23 < geertu> wsa_: Do you have a PCIe analyzer?
+11:23 < shimoda> wsa_: thanks!
+11:24 < wsa_> geertu: nope, just a logic analyzer (OpenLogicSniffer)
+11:24 < wsa_> dunno how fast it can go
+11:25 < wsa_> shimoda-san: what would you say has higher priority? pcie or thermal?
+11:26 < shimoda> IMO, thermal is higher priority because it is a new driver
+11:27 < shimoda> Gen3 PCIe is similar with gen2, but gen3 thermal is not similar with gen2
+11:27 < wsa_> yes, makes sense
+11:29 < wsa_> i will probably have time for this in october
+11:29 < horms> for thermal or ePCI or both?
+11:29 < wsa_> i assume most of you are busy with core stuff, multimedia stuff, paperwork...
+11:31 < morimoto> paperwork...
+11:31 < wsa_> i hope for both
+11:31 < horms> nice
+11:32 < wsa_> are there any other things which need to be working by end of november?
+11:34 < shimoda> let me see...
+11:36 < shimoda> sd/emmc, sata, pwm, hscif
+11:37 < shimoda> and etheravb with ptp driver
+11:38 < geertu> etheravb works
+11:38 < geertu> thanks to Simon
+11:39 < horms> yes, but I suspect ptp is a bit of a can of worms
+11:40 < wsa_> SATA seems to be backwards compatible
+11:41 < wsa_> SD needs some features, from the task list: "SDHI/Gen3,?,Add support for DMA, MMC, MMC-HS200/400 speeds"
+11:41 < shimoda> wsa_: yes, bsp team also works gen3 sata
+11:44 -!- geertu [~geert@d54C36A7B.access.telenet.be] has quit Ping timeout: 264 seconds
+11:46 < wsa_> shimoda-san: speaking of PWM, could you ping Thierry about your driver? Maybe he forgot...
+11:46 < wsa_> i need to do the same for my IP core switching patches
+11:47 < shimoda> wsa_: yes, i will ping Thierry
+11:47 < wsa_> thanks!
+11:48 < wsa_> ok, that were all points I know of
+11:48 < wsa_> is there something more?
+11:48 < horms> EtherAVB, basic, support is moving forwards slowly
+11:49 < horms> the main wildcard is Sergei
+11:49 < horms> I am still aiming for 4.4 for the driver changes
+11:50 < horms> And I plan to post the missing PFC update for EtherAVB very soon now
+11:51 < wsa_> great
+11:51 < horms> -- end --
+11:51 < shimoda> nice!
+11:51 < wsa_> and sergei will make sure your patches will have proper whitespacing :/
+11:51 < horms> thats right
+11:51 < horms> even if they are just moving code around
+11:52 -!- geertu_ [~geert@188.189.10.202] has joined #periperi
+11:52 < wsa_> welcome back, geert
+11:53 < geertu_> Sorry, ISP total failure (Internet/TV/Dadio)
+11:53 < geertu_> Did I miss much?
+11:54 < geertu_> Last thing I saw was SATA
+11:54 < wsa_> not much
+11:55 < wsa_> Simon reported shortly on EtherAVB; aims for driver changes in 4.4, will add PFC soon
+11:55 < geertu_> ok
+11:55 < wsa_> and then we have basic support \o/
+11:55 < wsa_> geertu_: what is the status of your SCIF patch series?
+11:56 < geertu_> Working on it. I received a few patches from Visteon to improve it.
+11:56 < geertu_> With that, DMA is much more stable.
+11:56 < geertu_> Have to do some more tests to find out which patches are critical.
+11:57 < geertu_> My plan is to submit a scif-dma-v4 later this week.
+11:57 < geertu_> After that, I'll tackle the external baud generator.
+11:58 < wsa_> interesting
+11:59 < wsa_> will be nice to see what improves DMA stability
+12:00 < wsa_> is there a deadline for the baud generator?
+12:00 < geertu_> not that I'm aware of
+12:01 < geertu_> It's part of the general SCIF improvements
+12:01 < wsa_> ok
+12:02 < wsa_> i'll mark it as v4.5 just to get rid of the '?'
+12:02 < wsa_> so we know it is a requested feature
+12:03 < wsa_> thanks, geert
+12:03 < wsa_> are we done then?
+12:03 < horms> nothing more from me
+12:04 < geertu_> same here
+12:04 < morimoto> same here
+12:04 < shimoda> same here
+12:04 < wsa_> then, let's call it a day
+12:05 < wsa_> thanks everyone!
+12:05 < horms> thanks
+12:05 < geertu_> thx, bye!
+12:06 < morimoto> bye
+12:06 < shimoda> bye!
