| 16:36.50 | zoolooc | not that it where not understandable, but I'm not at all into such low level programming, at least not now. Last time I had contact with such things was 15 years ago, I guess, when we had a uController architecture course at university :-) |

| 20:56.26 | J4k3 | blah. its a shame htc is such a stupid microsoft-centric company. I'd pay more than I paid for my apache for the ability to load linux with complete driver support... |
| 20:57.26 | dcordes | same here |
| 21:03.51 | J4k3 | theres a general lack of 'fun' CDMA devices. The GSM coverage where I live is fairly spotty |
| 21:05.13 | J4k3 | oh well, the apache will go back to ebay :| |
| 21:07.17 | dcordes | is apache gsm or cmda? |
| 21:13.40 | cr2 | J4k3: what's wrong with apache ? |
| 21:14.07 | J4k3 | cr2: eh.. WM5 is painful, the hacked WM6 is painful. :| |
| 21:14.22 | J4k3 | then I screwed up and loaded Verizon AKU3.3 on it, which is appareently blocking me from loading WM6 back on |
| 21:14.32 | J4k3 | so its extra painful to use. |
| 21:14.34 | cr2 | i have heard, once, that there the CDMA version of blueangel was working. |
| 21:14.48 | dcordes | hi cr2 |
| 21:14.52 | cr2 | J4k3: but there are not other working cdma phones afaik |
| 21:14.54 | cr2 | ho dcordes |
| 21:15.30 | cr2 | dcordes: i've looked at the android code today, and i'm actually more optimistic than i was before. |
| 21:16.38 | dcordes | sounds like very good news! |
| 21:17.15 | cr2 | dcordes: there are 2 core problems to boot the kaiser: mddi init of your toppoly LCD and the uncertainty about the gpio setup and operation. |
| 21:18.16 | dcordes | cr2: ok. how can I help? |
| 21:18.31 | cr2 | J4k3: apache has the best chances between CDMA phones to have linux support, you just need to invest some time into the CDMA modem operation research. |
| 21:19.38 | cr2 | J4k3: Kevin2 has done the initial traces, and there were some open questions. i have no idea about it because CDMA is very far away from me :) |
| 21:21.10 | cr2 | dcordes: it's a problem. actually, it's not a very big deal to make linux run on kaiser for a qualified person. in the PDA mode, with the already available information. |
| 21:23.15 | dcordes | cr2: what are the main requriements to be met in order to go from qualcomm to such linux? |
| 21:23.37 | dcordes | sorry- from the android kernel to a kernel that boots on kaiser |
| 21:24.28 | cr2 | the most realistic way to do it is just to analyze the kaiser SPL code, and adapt the android kernel to our needs. |
| 21:25.10 | dcordes | what's SPL code and how can I help analyzing it? |
| 21:25.39 | cr2 | the android kernel has the necessary information and code in a bit obfuscated form sometimes, but it's nevertheless priceless :) |
| 21:25.56 | cr2 | SPL is your secondary HTC bootloader |
| 21:26.15 | dcordes | is that similar to the different bootloader stages on the ipaqs? |
| 21:26.28 | cr2 | you can see it at 0x0 address, and it takes the first megabyte. |
| 21:26.45 | cr2 | yes, thek on it as a bios. |
| 21:26.57 | cr2 | it's loaded from NAND into SRAM at boot |
| 21:27.11 | cr2 | and can control your hardware. |
| 21:27.36 | cr2 | you can also dump the wince kernel from SDRAM, it also has all the necessary information |
| 21:29.05 | cr2 | and the spl is written based on the same qualcomm toolkit i guess. |
| 21:29.10 | dcordes | ok I will look for info on how to do so |
| 21:29.22 | cr2 | the overlaps between the code used by htc and android are sometimes amazing. |
| 21:29.45 | cr2 | even the debug messages are the same. |
| 21:33.14 | cr2 | it's not that important. |
| 21:33.42 | cr2 | motorola is certainly there, and after a780 i don't trust anything that comes out of motorola. |
| 21:34.31 | J4k3 | cr2: well, I'm tempted to go to GSM. I have a 150 ft (45M) tower on this place, I'd just need one of those amplifier-things |
| 21:34.37 | cr2 | it is a great linux device, but the way how motorola dealed with it, is simply mindbreaking. |
| 21:34.49 | cr2 | J4k3: that's certainly easier. |
| 21:34.53 | dcordes | cr2: could you point me into a direction regarding wince kernel dump from SDRAM? |
| 21:34.54 | J4k3 | I can get ok GSM coverage in my yard, and full signal about 1/3rd of the way up the tower. |
| 21:36.09 | cr2 | dcordes: it's probably easier to deal with the SPL, because the wince kernel has a lot of microsoft cruft inside, and you need to have some experience with it. |
| 21:36.14 | cr2 | SPL is much cleaner. |
| 21:36.24 | cr2 | J4k3: which phone you'd like to get ? |
| 21:37.32 | dcordes | cr2: see I try everything you tell me to. Just put orders ^^ |
| 21:37.55 | J4k3 | cr2: well thats the tough part. I want something with working wifi, bt, and cellular, and touch screeen |
| 21:38.29 | J4k3 | well, touch screen + keyboard |

| 21:39.36 | goxboxlive | pH5: any idea why tslib isent included anymore in console-image? |
| 21:40.10 | cr2 | dcordes: if he just wants to have a working linux phone, universal or blueangel is a much better option. |
| 21:40.38 | J4k3 | well, it doesn't *have* to be linux, I just see linux as having the highest chance of reliability. |
| 21:40.53 | J4k3 | wm just leads to cursing. |
| 21:41.28 | dcordes | agreed |
| 21:41.40 | cr2 | J4k3: this channel is about linux on htc phones :) |
| 21:41.50 | dcordes | although I only used wm for a day yet |
| 21:41.51 | J4k3 | cr2: I know :) |
| 21:42.43 | dcordes | cr2: are these cdma? |
| 21:43.02 | cr2 | wince is slow and unreliable, but working. just like other microsoft products. |
| 21:43.10 | cr2 | dcordes: umts/gsm |
| 21:43.32 | dcordes | I think he wants to go for a cdma device |
| 21:43.38 | J4k3 | yeah... wm6 reminds me of my first experiences with win95 on a 386DX/40 with 8MB ram. Slow, buggy, but cooler than anything else I'd seen before. |
| 21:43.43 | pH5 | goxboxlive: no. should it be in there? console doesn't have ts support anyway. |
| 21:44.06 | J4k3 | well, the iphone is slick too. my friend thats a manager for apple ts says they're fragile and sketchy |
| 21:44.26 | goxboxlive | pH5: it had before. |
| 21:44.38 | goxboxlive | ts_calibrate was included, but not now |

| 22:22.44 | dcordes | cr2: hm I can't figure how to do this. tried "cat * | grep MSM_MDP_BASE" but how do I get the filenames? |
| 22:24.38 | cr2 | grep MSM_MDP_BASE * |
| 22:26.08 | cr2 | you get a lot of stings like MSM_MDP_BASE + 0x40420 |
| 22:26.11 | dcordes | cr2: ok what can I take fro mthis? |
| 22:26.14 | dcordes | yes |
| 22:26.31 | cr2 | some are documented , others not. |
| 22:27.02 | dcordes | what does that mean 'a string is documented'? |
| 22:27.58 | cr2 | mdp_hw.h:#define MDP_INTR_STATUS (MSM_MDP_BASE + 0x00024) |
| 22:29.15 | dcordes | ok I get the impression that only the strings in mdp_hw.h are documented, right? |
| 22:31.00 | Zoolooc | hey, seems that some really serious hacking begun here |
| 22:31.12 | dcordes | hi Zoolooc |
| 22:32.48 | cr2 | yes. |
| 22:33.01 | cr2 | but can also see what values are written into other regs. |
| 22:33.55 | cr2 | since you know the MSM_MDP_BASE, you can write down the list of all registers referenced by the android code and (1) put them into a table. |
| 22:34.12 | cr2 | (2) you can check with haret, if you have different values. |
| 22:34.52 | cr2 | for the "dynamic" registers like irq status it's not very useful, but for some others it's very useful. |
| 22:35.02 | cr2 | to know how they are set up. |
| 22:40.42 | dcordes | cr2: Ok I made a list of all commented MSM_MDP_BASE strings found in mdp_hw.h |
| 22:41.50 | cr2 | dcordes: what about the others ? |
| 22:42.41 | dcordes | which others? |
| 22:43.09 | dcordes | I thought the undocumented strings were not of interest |
| 22:43.36 | cr2 | undocumented MSM_MDP_BASE + 0x50200 |
| 22:43.39 | cr2 | like that. |
| 22:44.20 | cr2 | this one is documented MSM_MDP_BASE + 0x5fffc |
| 22:44.42 | cr2 | but the name is not used ;) |
| 22:44.45 | cr2 | mdp_hw.h:#define MDP_SCALE_COEFF_LSB (MSM_MDP_BASE + 0x5fffc) |
| 22:46.12 | cr2 | f 2a 43 5e |
| 22:46.22 | cr2 | 69 |
| 22:47.17 | cr2 | 15 42 67 94 105 |
| 22:47.59 | dcordes | I cannot figure the difference between your example of undocumented and documented strings |
| 22:48.34 | cr2 | the register MSM_MDP_BASE + 0x5fffc is "documented", it's called MDP_SCALE_COEFF_LSB |
| 22:48.58 | cr2 | but there are registers that are used, but have no cleartext names. |
| 22:51.47 | *** join/#htc-linux AC_Mast (i=s@gateway/tor/x-19edfa58ed9f9ad9) |
| 22:52.29 | dcordes | ok |
| 22:52.45 | dcordes | I think I got now what's documented |
| 22:56.35 | dcordes | what I don't understand is the purpose of the mission: What's MSM_MDP_BASE and why should I compare it with stuff on kaiser? |
| 22:56.43 | dcordes | *currently on kaiser |
| 22:59.08 | cr2 | these are video setup/control registers. |
| 22:59.16 | cr2 | and you have a different panel. |
| 23:00.23 | dcordes | ah I see- so I want to figure the difference between how my panel is controlled by the kernel, and how the halibut one is controlled by the kernel? |
| 23:01.23 | cr2 | yes. |
| 23:01.36 | Zoolooc | msm is halibut's framebuffer driver? |
| 23:01.49 | Zoolooc | and kaiser has this other panel, topolly? |
| 23:02.28 | Zoolooc | sorry, meant mdp |
| 23:02.31 | pH5 | MDP stands for Mobile Display Processor. |
| 23:02.57 | Zoolooc | so that's something generic, not specific to this soc? |
| 23:03.07 | pH5 | mdp/mddi is the display configuration part in the qualcomm chip, and the configuration has to be different for different lcds |
| 23:03.20 | pH5 | Zoolooc: it is specific to the msm7k soc. |
| 23:03.42 | pH5 | omap has the lcdc (lcd controller), pxa has pxafb (pxa frame buffer), etc. |
| 23:04.18 | dcordes | ah ok. that clearifies things |
| 23:04.30 | Zoolooc | hmm, and on kaiser it's also the same, only that these registers are used slightly different? |
| 23:04.44 | pH5 | think of it as parts of a graphics card embedded into the main cpu. |
| 23:05.14 | pH5 | Zoolooc: right, kaiser also uses a msm7k cpu. |
| 23:07.16 | cr2 | pH5: i don't see any big differences between the 7200 and 7200A gpio config. yet. |
| 23:07.37 | dcordes | cr2: is there anythign more specific I can do right now with haret? |
| 23:08.06 | pH5 | cr2: all the better |
| 23:09.39 | cr2 | dcordes: MDP_BASE is 0xaa200000 |
| 23:10.04 | cr2 | dcordes: you can just dump this area, so we can compare the values. |
| 23:10.29 | cr2 | the mddi setup is too complicated to be done traced with haret. |
| 23:10.36 | dcordes | what do I define as beginning and ending? |
| 23:11.06 | cr2 | pH5: but there are some other registers not used by androids. |
| 23:14.22 | pH5 | cr2: did you already find the imageon based part of the msm7200? |
| 23:15.18 | cr2 | pH5: these MDP offsets control the video part. |
| 23:15.42 | cr2 | i don't know how does it overlap with w228x |
| 23:15.51 | pH5 | cr2: that's what I'm curious about :) |
| 23:15.52 | cr2 | but we can compare the tables. |
| 23:16.04 | dcordes | cr2: "addlist mmutrace 0xaa200000; wi 30" ? |
| 23:16.22 | cr2 | well, if dcordes will create a table, my w228x table is more or less ready := |
| 23:16.43 | cr2 | dcordes: pd 0xaa200000+XXXX 4 |
| 23:16.47 | dcordes | roger |
| 23:17.06 | cr2 | dcordes: you can even write a script to cover all the regs, and include the comments. |
| 23:17.53 | dcordes | pd 0xaa200000+XXXX 4 wrong syntax |
| 23:19.07 | dcordes | that's where the script comes to stage? |
| 23:20.18 | Zoolooc | cr2: you mean a script like the one given haret to run, like default.txt ? |
| 23:20.38 | cr2 | yes. |
| 23:21.18 | Zoolooc | ok, cmon let's do it |
| 23:21.19 | dcordes | aka bootscript? |
| 23:21.55 | cr2 | yes. |
| 23:22.09 | cr2 | pH5: the htc-egpio is limited to 8regs ? |
| 23:22.32 | dcordes | pH5: I have work to do. Is there anything you want me to trace before I leave? |
| 23:22.40 | dcordes | cr2: sorry |
| 23:22.43 | pH5 | cr2: there is some hardcoded limit currently, might be 8. if you need more, just increase it. |
| 23:23.07 | Zoolooc | will fire up wlan and mount my kaiser, cr2: you might tell me what to do before I go to bode |
| 23:23.12 | cr2 | pH5: athena uses 8 but there are 9 of them. it seems kaiser too. |
| 23:23.40 | dcordes | bbiab |
| 23:23.42 | cr2 | pH5: maybe we'll bump it up to 16. |
| 23:23.51 | pH5 | cr2: all of them 8bit, 16bit aligned? |
| 23:24.59 | cr2 | yes. |
| 23:27.26 | pH5 | I'm just thinking about how to best have this fit with the gpio_chip structure that is maybe going into mainline soon. |
| 23:27.27 | pH5 | For the 8bit CPLDs we could easily fit up to 4 successive registers into one gpio_chip structure if they all have the same direction. |
| 23:28.29 | pH5 | but just bump it up to 9 now. why waste 7 words on every machine if nobody is using them. |
| 23:28.51 | cr2 | ok. |
| 23:29.06 | cr2 | i wonder if other cplds have the same config actually. |
| 23:29.34 | cr2 | the most weird config is alpine, but nobody seems to be interested in it lately. |
| 23:30.47 | cr2 | 0xbb8 1a,1b,19 |
| 23:31.11 | cr2 | pH5: do these numbers say you anything ? it's power-related. |
| 23:32.50 | pH5 | nothing. what are those numbers? |
| 23:33.29 | cr2 | no idea yet. |
| 23:33.44 | pH5 | 3000 could be a delay, 26,27 and 25 gpio numbers. |
| 23:33.53 | pH5 | you see, I have absolutely no idea about their context. |
| 23:35.12 | cr2 | ok. good idea actually. |
| 23:35.16 | cr2 | but the power can wait. |
| 23:35.26 | cr2 | i've localized all the gpio control stuff. |
| 23:35.41 | Zoolooc | cr2: anything useful you want me to dump from the kaiser? |
| 23:37.22 | cr2 | Zoolooc: the gpio register areas. |
| 23:37.32 | cr2 | looc at the titanmemorymap page. |
| 23:38.10 | Zoolooc | this one? |
| 23:38.13 | Zoolooc | http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=TitanMemoryMap |
| 23:38.48 | cr2 | yes. the blockes named *GPIO* |
| 23:39.06 | cr2 | hehe. my spelling is great. |
| 23:39.14 | cr2 | probably drunk too much :) |
| 23:39.34 | Zoolooc | eyes tend to interpolate right, anyway :) |
| 23:39.44 | pH5 | heh, good night :) |
| 23:40.13 | cr2 | mcr p15. now i need a wiki page for them. |
| 23:40.27 | Zoolooc | cr2: alright, what's the exact command? pd ? |
| 23:41.37 | Zoolooc | like 'pd 0xa9000000 1' ? |
| 23:45.41 | cr2 | 4 at the end. |
| 23:51.07 | Zoolooc | cr2: http://rafb.net/p/1zUXpW28.html |
| 23:56.53 | cr2 | Zoolooc: you should add the offsets |
| 23:57.49 | cr2 | 0xa92* +0x834 to read the gpio0 registers |
| 23:58.18 | Zoolooc | that's MSM_MDP_BASE ? |
