Vivante GC320 support

[pepedog]

For utilite the only thing missing for xbmc to run using official repo is the kernel. Was testing one yesterday and it looks real good.

I install the custom kernel from Ralix git. For the rest I use the packages from the regular repo.

I have had problems when using this kernel that booting is not performing ok. After recompiling and running fsck a couple of times it seems to work.

Second problem is that xbmc segfaults when I try to run it.

morning,

That with xbmc I had even after I have taken all the packages from the ArchRepo and have not rebuilt my kernel with this patch:

# Allow use of 3:10:17 gpu binaries
patch - ignore-whitespace-p1 <.. / ENGR00278350-gpu-viante-4.6.9p13-kernel-part integra.patch

That was not yet in my Git .. Sorry! Try it again


Greetings Ralix

Thanks a lot Ralix, that solved the problem!

Now the only thing that does not work for me is the HDMI-CEC. When I log in and start xbmc as root it works, but not when autostarting as xbmc user. I have followed the Arch xmbc howto and added the user xbmc to groups uucp and lock but the problem is still there. Obviously it has something to do with wrong permissions since it works for root user. I have found some information about similar issue where the solution was to set chmod 777 to directory /run/lock but this also did not solve the issue for me.

Morning...

I'm a little confused ... Which package I need to install?

[root@mordor-dev ~]# pacman -Qe | grep linux
...
linux-utilite 3.0.35-10
linux-utilite-headers 3.0.35-10
...

[root@mordor-dev ~]# pacman -Suy

I am also having issues with this. Did you manage to fix it? Which libraries should be installed?

[pepedog]

Headers shouldn't be an issue now, remove them
This should install libraries, if you are after xbmc
pacman -S xbmc-imx-git
And you might want this

Remove linux-headers-imx6-cubox or linux-utilite-headers? Surely the later ones are needed for the custom kernel?

[pepedog]

Only when building something that requires the headers.
I got a whisper, etnaviv may soon be working on mainline 3.14 soon, with dri
