07:21 <narmstrong> basically for the PHYs (DDR, usb, pcie) the fab will basically force them to use pre-routed analog blocks, usually from Synopsys, but most of these PHYs don't have register interface so each vendors do their secret sauce but the fields still the same

07:21 <narmstrong> since rk, aml, allwinner, nxp... all goes to TSMC and uses the same technology they all share the same ddr controllers & co

08:55 <f_> 00:48 <CyReVolt> yea, quite likely

08:55 <f_> well, it's all synopsys ddr phy

08:55 <f_> The real question is which version of it

09:09 <CyReVolt> <narmstrong> "since rk, aml, allwinner, nxp......" <- ah that makes sense, I didn't know that the fab also plays such a significant role - thank you!

09:14 <f_> https://ircb.dersco.re/uploads/funderscore/2720bf66c77984ea

09:49 <f_> ok who told amlogic about the existence of the postmarketOS wiki

09:50 <f_> https://wiki.postmarketos.org/index.php?title=Category%3AAmlogic&diff=79646&oldid=78293

09:50 <f_> > Marketing department of Amlogic (USA)Ltd

09:50 <f_> > @amlogic.com email address

09:50 <f_> ????????????

10:03 <jn> oof, marketing slop

10:04 <f_> jn: Marketing slop from an official @amlogic.com email address!

12:22 <narmstrong> nice

12:41 <f_> hehe

12:41 <f_> > [ amlogicwiki ] FerassElHafidi: Message to AML2025 (Amlogic marketing dept): please do not add marketing slop to a technical wiki page. Thank you for your understanding. - https://wiki.postmarketos.org/index.php?title=Category:Amlogic&diff=79654&oldid=prev

12:43 <f_> hopefully they stop acting like a spambot and actually improve the docs :D

12:44 <f_> inb4 "[PATCH reversing-gxbb-bl2] add introduction about amlogic [From: Amlogic Marketing Dept]" /j

12:44 <f_> (no they did not send a patch .. yet)

12:44 <f_> Do they do that kind of stuff often?

13:25 <f_> ok it would seem that bpi-cm4 BL2 stuff is mostly the same as alta

13:25 <f_> so if I get one of them working I get both of them working I believe

13:27 <f_> and it would seem that I have an old postmarketOS-edge installed on the eMMC chip on the BPI-CM4

13:29 <f_> however it seems like I get no uart output .. great :p

13:51 <CyReVolt> lol

17:55 <CyReVolt> I like Rockchip's 404 page :D https://www.rock-chips.com/404

17:55 <CyReVolt> Is there a Matrix channel for Rockchip development, on that note?

19:17 <f_> dunno

19:17 <f_> all I know is #linux-rockchip on I forgot which IRC network

19:17 <f_> I think on libera

19:18 <f_> CyReVolt: I also like how rockchip's domain is "Rock Chips"

20:28 <f_> got uart output, I was stupid

20:28 <f_> I accidentally forgot to disable CONFIG_SPL_SHARES_INIT_SP_ADDR .. well obviously things work less well when you try to access the DRAM while it's not even working yet :^)

21:37 <CyReVolt> Noice, congrats!

22:11 <linkmauve> CyReVolt, #linux-rockchip at irc.libera.chat, indeed.

22:18 <CyReVolt> Right, thanks! I hope I can join via Matrix. I think libera had some issues somehow. Might be outdated memories.

22:24 <linkmauve> I’m joined just fine from XMPP, I doubt it’ll be an issue.
