projects/imx6: final merge of all changes

[vpeter4]

tested on TBS Matrix v2.1 and CuBox-i4Pro

[fritsch]

be careful here, that only initialises default-trigger

[vpeter4]

What do you mean by that? Any problem I can have with this?
Default trigger is heartbeat so as soon kernel starts led starts blinking. Later from service it is set to default-on.

[fritsch]

First I think I have mixed that with c code :-)

in C:

int x, y = 5;

will only initialze y to 5, so afterwards calculating with x yields undefinied behaviour. Not sure what dtsi is though.

Edit: Oh, I see it's "linux,default-trigger" <- the complete thing is a var: http://www.cs.fsu.edu/~baker/devices/lxr/http/source/linux/Documentation/powerpc/dts-bindings/gpio/led.txt

[jenkins101]

very good @vpeter4!

[vpeter4]

No more interest for imx6 and openelec? I mean other systems beside cubox-i.
TBS Matrix working, Udoo working, Wandboard also working.

[jpulz]

+1 for Wandboard (Quad Rev. B1 in my case)

[ghost]

Wandboard support is not integrated to this pull request.
What is the best ?

• merge this and made a second pull request for the Wandboard (and Udoo)
• or create a new pull request with the support for all the additional imx6 support.

[vpeter4]

I don't have Wandboard so I would prefer second PR for it.

[jenkins101]

+1

[ghost]

I wait for integration of this, and after I would do a Pull request for Wandboard management.

Thank you.
PS: Lakka project wait this to resurrect their Wandboard version.

[piotrasd]

+1

[vpeter4]

So I see OpenELEC 5.0.2 and still no sign of merging this PR. And I though this will be done after 5.0.0.

@sraue: is there any interest of OpenELEC to support more devices based on i.MX6 SoC or not?
If yes then do it and if not then tell us so we can move on and stop waiting for official landing (like ignoring all other devices because I see no point of supporting them manually which I have no interest).

[piotrasd]

@vpeter4 could you rebase ? Thanks

[vpeter4]

@piotrasd: why waste time if not merged anyway. So I should rebase again and again every few days....
When it will be clear that merge will happen then I will rebase.

[vpeter4]

I'm giving up on this so closing PR. To bad.

[CvH]

At least a short statement from @sraue should be doable :-(

[JoostK]

Please merge this so OpenELEC may benefit from the additionally support devices. @vpeter4 has done some awesome work here, I have been running his UDOO build for several months already without issues.

[fritsch]

@sraue A statement is needed if you want to have that integrated or not. Shipping and providing another 4 images is a completely different topic and from my POV unlikely to happen.

[sebguilbaud]

what to you mean by the "statement" term ? (french spoken here)
@vpeter4's work should not remained unused, it is not clean enough to be merged ?

[vpeter4]

@xoddark took over my work here: https://github.com/xoddark/OpenELEC.tv/commits/imx6_multi_devices
I will help him as much I can. Hope his work will not decay as mine. Seems official OpenELEC cares only for official partners and sponsors.

[RadiatorTwo]

I want to make OpenELEC run on the RIoTBoard.
I managed to compile and boot the version from @xoddark.
I used the mainline u-boot and dtb from mainline Kernel though. Boots up without problems and can get a picture in u-boot over HDMI.
But I can´t get a picture on when OpenELEC starts.

I´d like to integrate the needed code, but I´m no kernel/driver programmer and would need some help on what I have to change to make it run.
Only need the Info in what places I have to make changes.

[vpeter4]

You need to use appropriate dtb for kernel 3.14 which is used for imx6 project - in general you can't mix dtb's between different kernel versions. So you have 2 options: use mainline kernel or port required changes to kernel used by openelec.

[RadiatorTwo]

Ok then I´ll stick to the mainline kernel since all changes are in there.
Will only have to look on how to boot up the rootfs.
Thanks for the reply.

[ElreboCM]

@RadiatorTwo Are you sure that the mainline kernel supports vpu and gpu?

[s00500]

Please merge this! @vpeter4's work is really cool and running Openelec on the i.mx6 is a really nice thing! I can't understand why this request hasn't been accepted yet
