07:01 <theslowcoder> Guys, how do these chips normally reboot? Using the WDT ?

07:51 <Jookia> theslowcoder: which chips? for the t113, u-boot psci does a reboot

14:18 <warpme> guys: i got on table h728 based tv box to play with mainline kernel. prepared uboot (based on t507 code for orlinx,okt507-c); flash to sdcard via dd if=u-boot-sunxi-with-spl.bin of=/dev/sdb bs=8k seek=1; inserted card; power on; and nothing on uart :-( Does h728 require spl in different location that i.e. h616?

14:29 <wigyori>

14:35 <MasterR3C0RD> warpme: H728 appears to be an A523; we don't have U-Boot yet

14:36 <MasterR3C0RD> For now you'll want to use SyterKit: https://github.com/YuzukiHD/SyterKit

14:40 <warpme> MasterR3C0RD : do ypu think it is worth to try build for A527 and try it on H728?

14:42 <warpme> or maybe you have setup SyterKit and can quick build A527 syter_boot_bin_card.bin ?

14:42 <MasterR3C0RD> A527, A523, H728 appear to all be sun55iw3, so you should be able to get something running

14:43 <wigyori> MasterR3C0RD: what about t527 - that's roughly the same as the a527, right ?

14:44 <MasterR3C0RD> wigyori: Yep, https://linux-sunxi.org/A523

14:45 <MasterR3C0RD> Mainline doesn't have all of the patches needed yet to bring up the board either; apritzel submitted patches on Monday to add initial support

14:45 <wigyori> cool, will take a look at that, thanks

14:46 <MasterR3C0RD> They're three separate series on the mailing list, but they're on a single branch on his GitHub: https://github.com/apritzel/linux/commits/a523-v1/

14:46 <wigyori> sweet, thanks

14:48 <MasterR3C0RD> warpme: I'll be working on U-Boot support for the A523, just waiting on boards :-) so I don't have SyterKit as I'll be completely bypassing the use of it

14:52 <warpme> MasterR3C0RD : what - rough - timeframe for a523 you have in your calendar?

14:53 <MasterR3C0RD> warpme: Can't give any sort of timeframe, as the boards haven't been shipped yet and I'm focusing on A133 at the moment

14:53 <warpme> ok thx!

14:54 <MasterR3C0RD> But the main blocker for U-Boot is DRAM init code; luckily however the DRAM controller/PHY look similar enough to the H616/A100 that after some refactoring, they should be able to share the same driver with some quirk flags

14:55 <warpme> yeah - dram init - as always biggest kid in the block :-) I really like rockchip approach here....

14:57 <MasterR3C0RD> It's annoying, but assumably they must be keeping the DRAM code private for licensing reasons. No real reason otherwise to be so secretive about it

14:59 <MasterR3C0RD> We haven't been able to figure out whose IP this generation of DRAM controllers/PHYs uses though; there's some theories that it's Allwinner's own, but if that's the case AW's just being a PITA by not releasing any info on it

15:00 <MasterR3C0RD> Well, actually, we know the controller is Synopsis at least (uMCTL2), but the PHY is the mystery
