kettenis: I was thinking of keeping a copy in the m1n1 source (there's one already, horribly outdated)
<marcan>
just need to make it all sync better with the linux version

Hi! I'm a non-developer enjoying the challenge of trying this out. Where's the best place to get some support? Here? Github? I'm currently at the stage of getting my MBP booting to the language selection page but keyboard (external or internal) not working. Sorry if spam.
<j_ey>
here is a good place
<rross101>
Thanks
<rross101>
One place I wonder if I'm going wrong is which linux kernel to build and use - is the Asahi main one the best? I presume it's something about USB support.
<rross101>
And the other thing I've found is that I can get to the langauge selection page by concatenating the kernel onto m1n1; but when I try using linux.py I instead run into a 'device reports readiness' serial error and a black screen
<rross101>
OK great I'll try that. Thank you
<j_ey>
the device reports error is fine, since linux takes over the USB
<povik>
yeah apparently there's a different wiring for audio jack used in china
<j_ey>
rross101: you can just use defconfig I believe

<povik>
ah there don't seem to be as good a match of the codec driving the audio jack with some public part from the same manufacturer as there was with the speaker amp
<povik>
the ADT and schematic has cs42l83 driving the audio jack
<povik>
the closest part i found is cs42l42, but the registers don't match exactly
<kettenis>
cs42l73 isn't a closer match?
<povik>
no suprisingly it isn't
<povik>
the registers are all different

<alyssa>
j_ey: oh do you still need testing?
rross101 has joined #asahi
Nspace has quit [Quit: Nspace]
<rross101>
OK making progress thank you. With that kernel image - concatenating and chainloading gets m1n1 rebooting with a 'kernel found' message - but not sure what to do from there. Using linux.py instead I get a decompression error after the 'FDT prepared' stage

alyssa: nah, sven did some testing!
<j_ey>
rross101: can you paste the exact commands?
<povik>
what now it boots, i didnt change anything
<povik>
and it wants to tell apple everything about the crashes
<alyssa>
povik: the best part is that the apple domain doesn't exist
<rross101>
is that the next-base branch?
<povik>
alyssa: the crash-report logging domain?
Nspace has joined #asahi
<povik>
maybe we should implement the same crash reporter into linux
<povik>
with enough confusion inside apple they would start fixing our bugs
<j_ey>
rross101: it's a date
<j_ey>
rross101: it's a tag like: next-2021somedate
<povik>
(after they finally set up the domain)
<alyssa>
povik: yeah
<alyssa>
lol
<alyssa>
panic.apple.com, right?
<povik>
i don't know, i shut it down, it was a GUI thing once it fully booted after crashes
<povik>
panic.apple.com sounds like a nice domain to send linux panics to
<alyssa>
hihi
<alyssa>
alyssa@sunset:~$ whois panis.apple.com
<alyssa>
No match for "PANIS.APPLE.COM".
<povik>
you have a typo there :-p
<alyssa>
so i do
<alyssa>
No match for "PANIC.APPLE.COM".
<alyssa>
I guess whois doesn't work for subdomains though
<povik>
i don't know
<povik>
but maybe that's what apple thinks about our panic reports
<alyssa>
no answer for `dig panic.apple.com`, though
<alyssa>
povik: the only other people that see this are hackintoshers so...
<povik>
and apple developers, if they do their work right
<alyssa>
they have radar for that
<povik>
hm?
<alyssa>
Apple's internal NIH of phabricator
* povik
looks up phabricator
<j_ey>
povik: bug tracker
<povik>
this is some issue tracker/code review tool
<povik>
i meant if apple developers do their work right
<povik>
noone but them, us and hackintoshers need to see panic.apple.com
<povik>
wait
<povik>
aren't we hackintoshers now?
<j_ey>
no!
<j_ey>
linuxtoshers
<povik>
oh they do the same thing, but reverse, of course
<povik>
we are linux sane people
<jn>
reverse-hackintosh
<rross101>
j_ey: no a clean linux-next image gives an exception immediately after 'preparing to boot kernel'. I'll try the latest commit with those lines commented out tomorrow; have to go now. I've really appreciated the live support. Thank you.
