It looks like HDMI and 3D will go into linux 4.12 they are a bit late for 4.11

firefox-52.0.1-r1 emerge seems stuck on
Code:
Executing /var/tmp/portage/www-client/firefox-52.0.1-r1/work/firefox-52.0.1/ff/dist/bin/xpcshell -g /var/tmp/portage/www-client/firefox-52.0.1-r1/work/firefox-52.0.1/ff/dist/bin/ -a /var/tmp/portage/www-client/firefox-52.0.1-r1/work/firefox-52.0.1/ff/dist/bin/ -f /var/tmp/portage/www-client/firefox-52.0.1-r1/work/firefox-52.0.1/toolkit/mozapps/installer/precompile_cache.js -e precompile_startupcache("resource://gre/");

it seems emerge was executing python and xpcshell processes forever ...
and now python and xpcshell seem to wait for something that never comes.
update
same for firefox-52.0.2
same for firefox-53.0
same for firefox-53.0.3
see Firefox and Thunderbird on arm64 thread
firefox-54.0 build succeeds

Sorry I am a bit too busy to help with firefox, my box is a nextcloud server ...

Anyway, it's official support for HDMI and off-tree mali driver have been submitted (& merged) for kernel 4.12, yeahhhh, Odroid C1 - C2 are supported as well so it's time for a aarcch64 explosion :-)

Quote:
code cleanup in the GX family MMC driver (Heiner Kallweit - merged for v4.12)
improved support for the Amlogic P212 reference design (Martin Blumenstingl / xdarklight - merged for v4.12)
Support for the Khadas VIM [Pro] boards (Martin Blumenstingl / xdarklight - merged for v4.12)
DRM for Video Pipeline/HDMI (Neil Armstrong / narmstrong - merged for v4.12)
Mali clocks and devicetree support for GXBB and GXL (Neil Armstrong / narmstrong - merged for v4.12)
Basic MMC calibration for HS modes on GX family (Heiner Kallweit - merged for v4.12)
performance improvements (scatter-gather) for the GX family MMC driver (Heiner Kallweit - merged for v4.12)
Meson8 and Meson8b support the the SAR ADC driver (Martin Blumenstingl / xdarklight - merged for v4.13)


I hope to find some time to test it.

With the upstream kernel support for the C2 nearing completion, I'm interested in a Gentoo image for my stack of C2s, as the "official" available Debian/Ubuntu LTS minimal/desktop images don't make me that happy.

So I searched for the current state of aarch64/arm64 support for Gentoo:

This forum appears where to be where the ARM(64) people hang out.
There is an experimental ARM64 stage3 at https://gentoo.osuosl.org/experimental/arm64/
ARM64 keywording seems to progress slowly in Gentoo as RPi3 64-bit support took way longer than C2(?), but people own more RPi3s
There appear to be several C2 specific Gentoo overlays: https://github.com/psychedup/gentoo-c2 https://github.com/teragonAT/odroidc2-overlay https://github.com/nxmyoz/c2-overlay ... ...
Some people also tried to assemble Gentoo on their own for C2: https://forum.odroid.com/viewtopic.php?f=138&t=21675
...
...did I miss anything else?

So.... can we deduplicate these efforts somehow?
I dream of a ready-to-write SD card image of Gentoo for the C2 with
upstream kernel
stage 3
DHCP network enabled so one can login headless
auto partition resize to microSD card size script upon first boot

....just like the already available Debian/Ubuntu builds.

How much effort is about needed for that?
How far is official arm64 architecture support in Gentoo?
Infrastructure for nightly snapshot?
ARM64 package CI infrastructure to raise them to their amd64 package stable states?
....

I'm both exited and confused... ;-)

The latest stage3 image Gentoo_8gb_20170305.img I put on https://yadi.sk/d/8WUMwurb38CYTi uses balbes 3.14.29 kernel.
Next one will hopefully use mainline 4.12.0 kernel. Right now with latest 4.12.0 RC, I cannot get ethernet to work yet on my minimx-g.
update
balbes gave me an adjusted dtb for my minimx-g to make ethernet work.
there are few things TBD
- no audio
- nbd appears to give ext4 filesystem errors
I will try harder.

I use it as a home server, nextcloud (LAMP), postfix, dovecot, syncthing, emby (there's not enouh ram for that, but it works) and I have absolutely no problems using ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="*" , I find it is the perfect solution. It means I accept any stable ebuild, this means the stable for amd64 ....
This is my config, as you can see I use the stable amd64 without any particular problem, apart for java but it was easy to solve.

IMHO don't care about official support and just use gentoo amd64, mDup run a desktop using gentoo amd64 and it works. It's a 64 bit architecture after all, just like amd64.

I've used mDup's image to set up gentoo on my mini m8s ii but cannot launch kodi/xorg. I've got xorg-server with mesa and fb drivers but xrandr cannot get full display params so ends up with:
Code:
localhost ~ # DISPLAY=:0.0 xrandr
xrandr: Failed to get size of gamma for output default
Screen 0: minimum 1920 x 1080, current 1920 x 1080, maximum 1920 x 1080
default connected 1920x1080+0+0 0mm x 0mm
   1920x1080      0.00*


I'm not familiar with x servers on linux but i guess xorg.conf has to be filled manually, could you help me with this?

Did you build some X window manager? twm for example?
If so does 'startx' launch X?

Right, looks like it's just kodi denies to launch because of incomplete display detection(?).
To get opengl support i need xf86-video-armsoc and kernel 4.12, any luck with this already?
I'll be happy to mess around with mainline kernel but is there any way to get rid of bootimage (android on internal) and see whole kernel logs on tv without soldering uart?

if you set
previous_dmesg="YES"
in
/etc/conf.d/bootmisc
then at least you keep previous dmesg as /var/log/dmesg.old
This is what I used as long as I had no HDMI for 4.1x kernels.
And I keep it that way now.

You want to launch kodi in X, wayland or fb ?
In any case I don't think there is reasonable performance yet, at least not when I tried last time.
Another trick is to have an ubuntu chroot and try to run ubuntu binaries.
For example I cannot compile latest gentoo firefox but I, as user, can run latest ubuntu firefox form chroot.
Code:
xhost +
chroot /root/ubuntu firefox

Own compiled mainline linux 4.12rc kernel works with balbes config and correct dtb.
But my network NBD drive was not stable and audio did not work. Perhaps other things do not work either.
I will retry when 4.12 is out. Credits go to balbes.

gles/opengl needs additional drivers in user space etc. so i decided to stay away until 4.12 gets out and trying to start in X with fbdev (without hw)

It doesn't save kernel panic if i'm correct so without working kernel config this can be veeery long ride.

Clever but that's not exactly what we're trying to do here :-).

I took config from balbes boot partition and verbatim kernel.org code.
But there were 2 tiny changes kindly provided to me by balbes.
one to change arm64/kernel TEXT_OFFSET
one to change the eth_phy0 for my minimx-g meson-gxbb-p200.dts

I just emerged kodi 17.3 which runs inside X, but it is unusable (one can hardly move mouse)

Running kodi standalone fullscreen on framebuffer gave:
ERROR: Unable to create GUI. Exiting.

kodi runs in wayland too but is even less usable.

All 3 above test with libmali built from buildroot-openlinux in LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

running kodi standalone from zesty ubuntu chroot fails (it says pulseaudio requires shared memfd call which 3.14.29 does not have).

Note that for day to day usage I still run 3.14.29. This may change as soon as I can build 4.12 which has audio en stable network.

I will update the stage3 image then.

Agreed, but sometimes it helps, like: to emerge rust one needs rustc (chicken end egg) and rust-bin does not emerge.
So I wrap ubuntu chroot rustc in a bash script in /usr/local/bin ...

Exactly what i was dealing with. Messing around with fbdev is not worth it when main kernel with gles is on the corner. Unfortunately i cannot boot mini m8s II with 4.12 config or even armbian untouched image - stuck on bootimage so kernel panic i guess :/


If someone want to test 4.12+ there is nice recipe https://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-amlogic/2017-June/004092.html

But there must be some way to configure to build kodi to run on fb with 3.14.29 ...
Because that is what LibreELEC does. I run (own built 64bit) kszaq LE myself on a s905s.

Are you sure it's not gles with additional drivers and modded kernel?

OPENGLES="opengl-meson"

edit: and "libamcodec" for hw accelerated decoding

I guess you exceed my knowledge about ways to run kodi and graphical methods in general.
It is not X and it is not wayland, so I assumed it was direct to FrameBuffer.
Looking at build tree, at first sight, it seems everything relevant in LE is compiled from source.
So, in theory, I suppose, one could make a gentoo overlay ebuild achieving same binary?
I must be missing or misunderstanding something...
If in my gentoo I do
Code:
lddtree kodi.bin
for the LE kodi.bin, all libraries are present (including buildroot libGLESv2).
I have not succeeded to build LE 3.14.29 kernel which, for one thing, has these special media driver modules.
I should also admit: media was not my primary goal for arm64 gentoo, bleeding edge lightweight desktop is my focus.

I don't think so, just looked at build script and saw this opengl-meson, gpu-aml etc. so i assume it's not simple fb but all this is new to me.
My understanding is we need (for 3.14):
gpu-aml - gpu drivers from official amlogic, it might be included in kernel already but in libreelec i see at least two modules mali and mali_drm
opengl-meson - some kind of modified opengl library that supports mali gpu (dunno if this can be build, libreelec just downloads binaries)

edit:To enable amcodec in kodi:
Code:
-DENABLE_AML=ON

Also the PKGBUILD of kodi-c2 from archlinux arm can be useful to get some ideas:
https://github.com/archlinuxarm/PKGBUILDs/blob/d43c636da9c82c971101cae2cf18a221bb09f005/alarm/kodi-c2/PKGBUILD
amlogic libs for acceleration:
https://github.com/archlinuxarm/PKGBUILDs/blob/dccefdad0e0d423bc2a66a2ebe38710ebc485aef/alarm/aml-libs-c2/PKGBUILD




BTW balbes has already some images with kernel 4.12 rc5 here it works fine apart the emmc too slow.

FYI: I could build and run vanilla 4.12.0 just fine but there is a network issue in that big file transferts stall. USB works.
I run on MiniMX-G and dmesg reports RTL8211F Gigabit Ethernet (and PTP not supported by HW).
I reported this upstream netdev kernel list.
update
I changed 4.12.0 drivers/net/phy/realtek.c RTL8211F code to equal the 3.14.29 amlogic/ethernet/phy/am_realtek.c code and now the networking works without TCP stalls. Also, firefox now no longer crashes. For now I do not have audio yet.
hmmm 30 min later I have NBD crashing TV box.
update
seems issue was caused by tx-delay in my particular dts.
All seems fine now for a gentoo stage3 with at least network for minimx-g.
thanks to xdarklight #linux-amlogic
Did not test other devices (have none) except one s905x which has no USB support which I feel no-go.

Great ... hopefully also cryptodev works with 4.12, on 3.14.29 it just fills the log with 'CryptoAPI failure: -22' message .... I upgraded to a S912 board and it would be nice to be able to use the ARM crypto extensions.

For those interested: I uploaded a stage3 Gentoo_8gb_20170715.img.xz
using vanilla 4.12.0 kernel with config kindly provided by balbes to
https://yadi.sk/d/8WUMwurb38CYTi

This image can potentially be used to start building any system to
your own taste.

I am not supporting it in any way. I may want to help people who try
to use it. There are a few hacks involved.

The image works on s905 [I have a minimx-g]. It also boots on s905x
[I have spot-i7-pro] but on s905x I see no hdmi output and there is no
USB support (no keyboard no mouse). One can still ssh into the tv-box
as user (password 1). root password is 1234.

It may work for s912

There are several things that do not work (like: no audio). I did not
test many things (like: bluetooth wifi ...).

I have no s912 (yet) to test ARM crypto extensions. My s905 does not support the kernel configs and complains when I modprobe the modules.
