00:20 <DarkNeutrino> Ah yea. Well i guess we can only wait

13:01 <DarkNeutrino> apritzel: i guess we just have to wait for now right ?

18:26 <DarkNeutrino> I have an issue im trying to debug. So i have u-boot that can boot to Manjaro just fine. The issue is that the initramfs they provide is in initramfs-linux.img format. And when i try to give this to uboot it tells me that it has no idea what that is "Wrong Ramdisk Image Format. Ramdisk image is corrupt or invalid". As it would be kind of a massive pain to parse every initramfs file trough their mkimage utility i want to know i

18:27 <DarkNeutrino> Updating the system would become also pain :)

18:29 <DarkNeutrino> The u-boot version is U-Boot 2021.10

18:29 <DarkNeutrino> Quite old im aware. But it gets me to boot every time instead of the 1 i made which would be rolling a dice haha

18:41 <DarkNeutrino> jernej: With the introduction of the DRAM settings in U-Boot. How should one go about finding the right values ? :)

18:59 <jernej> DarkNeutrino: you mean new H616 & co. DRAM settings?

19:00 <jernej> those values can be obtained from vendor image

19:01 <jernej> either from DT or better yet, extracted from boot0 (vendor replacement for SPL) using program like https://gist.github.com/jernejsk/1957a252267e72979935f1d5236018c8

19:02 <jernej> (ignore last part of it)

19:02 <DarkNeutrino> yeaaaaaa so the issue. BTT decided to use u-boot with spl. And the orangepi zero 2 dt

19:04 <DarkNeutrino> I have no idea why they thought that the 2021 release was the way to go. I guess thats what was in BSP

19:06 <apritzel> DarkNeutrino: regarding the initramfs: what is your booti line? For a U-Boot legacy image wrapped initrd, you would just give the start address

19:07 <apritzel> but for a raw image, you also need to specify the length, after a ':'

19:07 <apritzel> so: booti $kernel_addr_r $ramdisk_addr_r:$filesize $fdtcontroladdr

19:07 <DarkNeutrino> booti ${kernel_addr_r} ${ramdisk_addr_r} ${fdt_addr_r}

19:07 <DarkNeutrino> ah

19:07 <DarkNeutrino> the length

19:07 <apritzel> given that you loaded the initrd last, as $filesize holds the size of the last loaded image

19:08 <DarkNeutrino> yea that wasnt mentioned anywhere haha

19:08 <apritzel> if there is no colon, it expect an U-Boot image, and you will get this message if there is no U-Boot image header

19:08 <DarkNeutrino> Are the {} brackets necessary ?

19:09 <DarkNeutrino> uboot docs have it without. OK lets go with that :)

19:12 <apritzel> normally you don't need the brackets. you might need them in scripts, or if you concatenate variables like ${prefix}${stub}${suffix}

19:14 <DarkNeutrino> jernej: i checked the boot partition of the vendor image if they left it somewhere. Sadly doesnt look like it :(

19:18 <DarkNeutrino> apritzel: that got the initramfs working. Thanks so much

19:18 <DarkNeutrino> Also i asked this earlier. What do we do now with the AXP313a ? Do we just wait or ?

19:19 <jernej> what kind of board is this?

19:20 <DarkNeutrino> BigTreeTech CB1

19:20 <DarkNeutrino> Or well their BTT Pi variation which they just released

19:20 <DarkNeutrino> But uses the same image as CB1

19:20 <jernej> and they don't have BSP based image anywhere?

19:21 <DarkNeutrino> https://github.com/bigtreetech/CB1

19:21 <DarkNeutrino> This is the only thing

19:21 <DarkNeutrino> There is the system image with uboot but thats the spl based one

19:22 <DarkNeutrino> https://github.com/bigtreetech/CB1-Kernel

19:22 <DarkNeutrino> Here is the full source of it all

19:23 <jernej> in general, board makers send their boards to AW in order to obtain DRAM settings

19:23 <jernej> I wonder if they've done that

19:24 <DarkNeutrino> Prob not :)

19:24 <jernej> if not, then just take OrangePi Zero2 settings, since that's what original driver was based on

19:25 <DarkNeutrino> I can ask one of the engineers but since they are in shenzen the communication is a bit of an pain

19:25 <DarkNeutrino> Due to timezones

19:25 <jernej> that would be ideal. In the mean time, you can use OPi 0+ settings

19:26 <DarkNeutrino> gotcha

19:29 <DarkNeutrino> jernej: am i correct in assuming AW being AllWinner ?

19:41 <apritzel> DarkNeutrino: we can't do much else other than waiting, can we?

19:42 <DarkNeutrino> I guess not

19:42 <DarkNeutrino> Hopefully they pick it up

19:44 <jernej> DarkNeutrino: correct
