08:24 <qschulz> sre0: same opinion as you on the ABI part but nothing worth fighting for :)

12:35 <CyReVolt> Hey everyone, just a quick drop here - I'm currently translating the DRAM init code for the RK356x to Rust for use in oreboot.

12:35 <CyReVolt> I am taking the smallest binary from the rkbin repo, which is for lower speed, as a starting point.

12:35 <CyReVolt> In case anyone wants to follow along or team up, please just poke me. I'd be happy to see this also ported to U-Boot (SPL). :)

12:35 <CyReVolt> https://cfp.gulas.ch/gpn23/talk/CKHL93/ this

12:35 <CyReVolt> Talked about it at GPN last weekend, if anyone's curious.

12:40 <qschulz> CyReVolt: U-Boot TPL* :)

12:42 <qschulz> GPN?

13:13 <CounterPillow> CyReVolt: cool!

14:44 <CyReVolt> <qschulz> "CyReVolt: U-Boot TPL* :)" <- yea I mean, once done, TPL is no longer necessary :)

14:44 <CyReVolt> that is currently the blob that is integrated in U-Boot

14:44 <CyReVolt> when it's C code, it can just be part of SPL

14:44 <CyReVolt> <qschulz> "GPN?" <- GPN is one of the major CCC events in Germany

14:44 <CyReVolt> once started as Gulaschprogrammiernacht, now a 4-day event

14:44 <qschulz> CyReVolt: we typically always have DRAM init as part of TPL on Rockchip

14:45 <qschulz> (as far as I remember, maybe I missed something :) )

14:45 <qschulz> the point is also to make it easier to switch between the blob and the open-source implementation (if there's one)

14:45 <qschulz> CyReVolt: thanks for the info :)

16:24 <CounterPillow> mmind00: am I the first to notice that the HYM8563 looks to be a register-compatible clone of the PCF8563 and probably shouldn't have its own driver, or am I missing something? :D

17:13 <CounterPillow> ok, apparently this was noticed a while ago and needs careful merging according to sebastian

17:28 <CyReVolt> <qschulz> "the point is also to make it..." <- ah gotcha, well I'll leave that up to U-Boot devs/experts 😅

21:51 <mmind00> CounterPillow: yes past-mmind00 didn't realize to look for similarities when writing the hym8563 driver ... sins of youth and all ;-)

21:53 <mmind00> CounterPillow: and nowadays I guess ... "it's an RTC driver" ... not seeing much "development", so nobody has been bothered enough to dive into that mentioned merging

21:54 <CounterPillow> maybe it'll get done before 2069 when the pcf8563 driver breaks due to the year counter overflowing :D
