Core-chat-meeting-2017-12-14

09:33 < wsa_> and with that I'd hand over to Geert for the core meeting
09:33 < geertu> One more questions (joined with core)
09:33 < wsa_> sure
09:33 < geertu> Meeting before FOSDEM
09:33 < geertu> Who will join:
09:33 < geertu>   1. Core Meeting (Friday morning)
09:33 < geertu>   2. Meeting Lunch
09:33 < geertu>   3. I/O Meeting (Friday afternoon) (or swap with morning?)
09:33 < geertu>   4. Meeting Dinner (@ KoKoB?)
09:34 < pinchartl> I plan to attend the whole day
09:34 < morimoto`> From Renesas side, noone goes to FOSDEM
09:34 < jmondi> me for 1) 2) 3) and 4)
09:34 < wsa_> I will be there
09:34 < horms> I plan to arrive on Thursday for dinner and depart on Saturday. I will likely need to step out for an hour, around 1600, on Friday
09:35 < wsa_> geertu: we also want to have add. task discussion on Friday
09:35 < horms> I already booked a room at Hotel BLOOM :)
09:35 < geertu> wsa_: OK, so meeting schedule is flexible
09:35 < horms> I have not yet asked the boss (my wife)
09:35 < neg> I will join the whole day
09:36 < geertu> horms: But you booked anyway ;-)
09:36 < wsa_> geertu: you plan the meeting room @ BLOOM again?
09:36 < horms> geertu: yes, i did :)
09:36 < geertu> wsa_: Yes
09:36 < pinchartl> morimoto`: so all trips have been cancelled ? :/
09:36 < Marex> I'll join 1)...4) too
09:37 < Marex> morimoto`: :-(
09:37 < geertu> uli___: pinchartl : What about you?
09:37 < pinchartl> geertu: 09:34 < pinchartl> I plan to attend the whole day
09:38 < geertu> And no delegation from Japan? ;-(
09:38 < morimoto`> pinchartl: Yes. Renesas side doesn't go
09:38 < uli___> geertu: ask me again next year, please :)
09:38 < pinchartl> dammsan: how about you, do you plan to attend the FOSDEM ?
09:38 < morimoto`> I will miss you...
09:38 < pinchartl> morimoto`: that's bad news :(
09:38 < neg> uli___: :-)
09:39 < geertu> uli___: Will the answer be different?
09:39 < morimoto`> dammsan is included as "Renesas side"
09:39 < wsa_> so add. task meeting will be way more difficult
09:39 < uli___> geertu: possibly
09:39 < wsa_> and, yes, you guys will be missed
09:40 < horms> Can we schedule some sort of remote access to part of the meeting?
09:40 < geertu> morimoto: I thought he was ÖpenSöurce? ;-)
09:40 < horms> Not ideal but perhaps better than nothing
09:42 < morimoto`> geertu: He has many color of hat, Renesas, Jinso, OpenSource :)
09:42 < geertu> morimoto`: Igel? ;-)
09:42 < morimoto`> He "was", not now :)
09:42 < geertu> Yes, you guys will be missed. But as we have Internet, skype could be an option.
09:43 < geertu> morimoto: Tell LinkedIn ;-)
09:43 < geertu> OK, time to really start the Core Meeting
09:43 < geertu> Welcome to today's Core Group Chat
09:43 < geertu> Agenda:
09:43 < geertu> 1. Status updates
09:43 < geertu> Topic 2. Core additional tasks for Q1/2018
09:43 < Marex> geertu: or Ekiga rather than proprietary MS solutions ?
09:43 < geertu> 3. Meeting before FOSDEM (done)
09:43 < geertu> Marex: It's been a while I used Ekiga...
09:44 < geertu> 4. Discussion Topics
09:44 < geertu> Topic 1. Status updates
09:44 < geertu> A) What have we done since last time
09:44 < geertu> Marek worked on initial support for r8a77970/eagle and r8a77995/draak in 
09:44 < geertu> U-Boot, wrote https://elinux.org/R-Car/Boards/U-Boot-Gen3, and patched 
09:44 < geertu> meta-renesas for mainline U-Boot at https://github.com/marex/meta-renesas.
09:44 < geertu> Shimoda-san submitted usb3.0 phy and peripheral patches, and investigated 
09:44 < geertu> M3-N IPMMU issues, which need workarounds. 
09:44 < geertu> Simon resolved Gen3 no-reg warnings, and worked on Z/Z2/CpuFreq for Gen3.
09:44 < geertu> Geert worked on sh-sci Kconfig, and fixed locking and memory bugs in DT 
09:44 < geertu> overlays and PCIe.
09:45 < geertu> B) What we plan to do till next time
09:45 < geertu> Marek will work on RPC SPI support.
09:45 < geertu> Shimoda-san will continue evaluating M3-N IPMMU HW.
09:45 < geertu> Simon will continue no-reg work for Gen2 and RZ, Z/Z2/CpuFreq on Gen3, and 
09:45 < geertu> repost IPMMU bindings patches.
09:45 < geertu> Geert will send clk-renesas and sh-pfc pull requests, continue bisecting 
09:45 < geertu> "unhandled level 0 translation fault", and preparing additional tasks.
09:45 < geertu> C) Problems we have currently
09:45 < geertu> Marek remarks that the SD/MMC maintainer in U-Boot is slow.
09:45 < geertu> Simon has issues with Z/Z2 clock divider handling in conjunction with 
09:45 < geertu> CPUFreq.
09:45 < geertu> Geert suffered from stuff that got broken (DT overlays, unhandled level 0 
09:45 < geertu> translation fault, DRM hang, ...)
09:45 < geertu> --EOS--
09:46 < geertu> Anything I missed?
09:46 < geertu> Topic 2. Core additional tasks for Q1/2018
09:47 < geertu> I've received the following candidate tasks:
09:47 < geertu>   - JTAG Support for Gen3 platforms using OpenOCD (Kieran)
09:47 < geertu>   - Virtualization (TBD later)
09:48 < geertu> I guess we should also start upstreaming initial support for Salvator-X with R-Car M3-N.
09:48 < geertu> Are there any other proposals or requests, especially from the Renesas side?
09:49 < Marex> PCIe support in U-Boot for example ? :-)
09:51 < shimoda> geertu: I'd like to improve IPMMU driver somehow but main person will be dammsan? :)
09:51 < dammsan> pinchartl: I dont plan on going to FOSDEM but it may change
09:52 < wsa_> maybe side question: morimoto-san said "M3N Salvator-XS board export paper work". Who will is planned to get one?
09:52 < wsa_> -will
09:53 < geertu> wsa_: I think I am, as Morimoto-san already sent the "official email" to me.
09:53 < pinchartl> dammsan: OK
09:53 < geertu> Dunno who else is planned
09:53 < uli___> i am, apparently
09:54 < horms> likewise
09:54 < morimoto`> wsa_: for all member
09:54 < morimoto`> but, 1st ship is for 4 member
09:54 < wsa_> morimoto`: I see
09:55 < wsa_> thanks, always nice to know who has what :)
09:55 < uli___> morimoto`: when is shipping expected, btw? i'd prefer to not get anything before january for logistical reasons (vacation)
09:55 < morimoto`> wsa_: you are 2nd ship member ;)
09:55 < morimoto`> uli___: it will be next year
09:55 < morimoto`> for some reason
09:56 < uli___> ok, thanks
09:56 < wsa_> no problem. no urgency on my side
09:56 < morimoto`> uli___: wsa_: thanks
09:57 < geertu> There's already a remote one in Magnus' farm
09:58 < dammsan> geertu: the soc is same but board is X not XS (i think)
09:58 < geertu> dammsan: Yes, It's X
09:58 < geertu> AFAIK
09:59 < geertu> No more task suggestions?
09:59 < geertu> Anything else to discuss?
09:59 < Marex> geertu: testing mainline u-boot ?
10:00 < Marex> geertu: who wants to start testing ? I have binaries available for M3/H3 ULCB and Salvator-X (only H3 ES2.0+ supported)
10:00 < Marex> or well, even better, you can build the whole stuff yourself ...
10:00 < dammsan> Marex: i want automated updating via script somehow
10:00 < geertu> And M3-W Salvator-X?
10:01 < Marex> geertu: what's 7796 salvator-x , right ? I didn't test, but should work, wanna try ? :-)
10:02 < Marex> geertu: wait, I tried 7796 salvator-x and 7795 salvator-xs ...
10:02 < geertu> Marex: Good, that's what I have ;-)
10:02 < Marex> dammsan: of uboot ? that can be done already (read: I use that to make my life easier), although it's undocumented, just like unlocking the RPC, for obvious reasons
10:03 < Marex> dammsan: I can documented that internally somehow though
10:04 < dammsan> neg: tack - behover tva separata men kan separaera sjalv sa inga problem
10:05 < geertu> Looks like we're finished.
10:05 < geertu> Thanks for joining, and have a nice continued day!
10:06 < dammsan> Marex: Documenting stuff is always good. Knowledge how to detect which version of various boot loader stack that are installed would be nice to document too
10:06 < horms> Thanks Geert!
10:06 < pinchartl> I'll give everybody a few minutes for a restroom break and we can then start with multimedia
10:06 < Marex> dammsan: we have "version" command and the version is printed upon boot too :-)
10:07 < Marex> dammsan: where are you aiming with this, some sort of update automation ?
10:07 < geertu> kbingham: Will you join the activities on Friday before FOSDEM? (cfr. "Meeting before FOSDEM" at 8:33 your time)
10:07 < Marex> dammsan: might be better to have some sort of "update_uboot" script in U-Boot, which you run to reinstall everything
10:08 < Marex> dammsan: hmmm, maybe you could deliver the update as a fitImage, containing all the components ... hmmmmm
10:08 < dammsan> Marex: I am thinking of more components than just U-bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbboot, butnks!!
10:08 < Marex> dammsan: feels like we're reinventing the UEFI update capsule
10:08 < dammsan> maybe so
10:08 < dammsan> automation would be nice to have
10:08 < Marex> dammsan: you mean updating IPL and U-Boot or even more stuff ?
10:09 < dammsan> yeah
10:09 < wsa_> gotta run
10:09 < wsa_> cya!
10:09 -!- wsa_ [~wsa@p54B3351E.dip0.t-ipconnect.de] has quit [Quit: ...]
10:10 < pinchartl> alright
10:10 < kbingham[m]> geertu: I'm planning to bring Hugo and Keri to Brussels for a trip and Hugo's first plane ride. So I'll be around but my schedule might be variable. But I'll treat most of the week as a working week
10:10 < Marex> dammsan: yes as in IPL and U-Boot or yes as in IPL/U-Boot/and-more-stuff ?
