2016-04-17 11:10:52	locusf	hmm
2016-04-17 11:11:03	locusf	kido: are you around?
2016-04-17 14:28:00	@kido	locusf: I will soon be :)
2016-04-17 14:28:04	@kido	what's up?
2016-04-17 15:09:34	Nokius	did some tried BT PAN?
2016-04-17 15:19:44	@kido	Nokius: no I never tried that but this could be nice
2016-04-17 15:21:14	@kido	I'm currently investigating the possibilities of iotivity for the connectivity of asteroid and I'll be in holidays for the next two weeks so things should be moving quite a bit
2016-04-17 15:22:41	@kido	Nokius: BT PAN would be awesome for ssh on the g watch, please let me know if you manage to make something work
2016-04-17 15:23:05	@kido	I'll try to fix the broken qmsystem recipe you had later today
2016-04-17 15:54:32	locusf	kido: eh I was late
2016-04-17 15:54:45	locusf	I was going to hack on asteroid but I did some CHIP stuff instead
2016-04-17 16:35:06	dr_gogeta86	chip works well ?
2016-04-17 16:41:04	@kido	oh great, if you meet problems with your CHIP's kernel you can blame kos_tom :)
2016-04-17 16:41:27	@kido	that would be great if we could make your zenwatch's usb otg work today
2016-04-17 16:46:47	@kido	Nokius: qmsystem's recipe is fixed, it was a stupid mistake from me
2016-04-17 16:56:48	Nokius	kido: :)
2016-04-17 16:57:09	Nokius	I will see may I have time to kill during the week
2016-04-17 16:58:12	@kido	great
2016-04-17 17:59:52	locusf	ok got an image for CHIP
2016-04-17 18:00:21	@kido	by the way at which point is nemo on OE?
2016-04-17 18:00:39	locusf	there wasn't much to do really
2016-04-17 18:01:49	@kido	but I mean, did you move to OE now? and are you using meta-asteroid for that?
2016-04-17 18:12:40	locusf	only I have moved to OE :)
2016-04-17 18:12:53	locusf	faenil did try with n9/50 but I don't know his progress on that
2016-04-17 18:13:36	faenil	locusf: I only tried once, building Asteroid for the watch, but there was a dep error that I reported here, haven't tried since then
2016-04-17 18:14:32	locusf	okay
2016-04-17 19:07:49	@kido	hi flasheater 
2016-04-17 22:35:11	Nokius	the Huawei price tags looks line lately
2016-04-17 22:36:00	@kido	still quite expensive
2016-04-17 22:36:04	@kido	are you planing on buying one?
2016-04-17 22:37:20	Nokius	mh not sure the LG G R is now gone
2016-04-17 22:37:42	Nokius	there some for 250? now
2016-04-17 22:37:51	Nokius	will observe the market
2016-04-17 22:38:38	Nokius	I'm still interested to adapt one watch
2016-04-17 22:39:40	@kido	you could have a chance with a used watch
2016-04-17 22:44:16	Nokius	kido: checking the deals in the online shops
2016-04-17 22:44:33	Nokius	gn8
2016-04-17 22:45:00	@kido	see you
2016-04-17 22:52:32	TheAppleMan	so my watch lasted just under 2.5 days
2016-04-17 22:52:56	@kido	quite good
2016-04-17 23:35:27	@kido	hi sonysw3guy 
2016-04-17 23:35:32	sonysw3guy	hey
2016-04-17 23:35:38	@kido	nice nickname :)
2016-04-17 23:35:46	sonysw3guy	descriptive
2016-04-17 23:36:28	@kido	so I guess you are coming for info about the current support of asteroid on sony sw3, am I right?
2016-04-17 23:36:39	sonysw3guy	i figure i have an extra watch i dont mind destroying, so why not try porting to it
2016-04-17 23:37:17	sonysw3guy	i need to find something to do while i procrastinate on my hw
2016-04-17 23:37:18	@kido	this is great however I've been working on the sw3 for one month now without much success
2016-04-17 23:37:53	@kido	what's the other watch?
2016-04-17 23:38:07	sonysw3guy	same
2016-04-17 23:38:12	@kido	ok
2016-04-17 23:38:13	sonysw3guy	i dont know how ebay works exactly
2016-04-17 23:38:55	sonysw3guy	so what do i need to know
2016-04-17 23:39:40	@kido	ok, porting asteroid to a new smartwatch involves creating a couple of "recipe" inside a "layer" which is basicaly a git repository telling the asteroid's build system (OpenEmbedded) how to support the new hw
2016-04-17 23:40:06	@kido	this BSP, for board support package involves describing the build of the linux kernel of your watch which is often quite easy to do
2016-04-17 23:40:52	@kido	and also how to include a special part of android which allows to use the proprietary blobs that gives us hardware support
2016-04-17 23:41:03	@kido	I have already done those things for the smartwatch 3
2016-04-17 23:41:57	@kido	it boots, I get usb, most of the hardware adaptation is indeed working *but* somehow the graphics drivers end up showing a black screen. even if everything seems to work as expected (the trace are good)
2016-04-17 23:42:52	sonysw3guy	hmm ok
2016-04-17 23:43:02	@kido	so basicaly we are *really* close of having asteroid running on the sw3 but this is driving me crazy and I'm not really confident anymore about it working anytime soon
2016-04-17 23:44:42	sonysw3guy	so basically we need to find what the diff is between the lg and the sony
2016-04-17 23:44:53	@kido	mhh it's a bit more complicated than that
2016-04-17 23:45:02	sonysw3guy	im sure
2016-04-17 23:45:11	@kido	the g watch and g watch urbane (and quite a lot of other models) have very similar soc from qualcomm
2016-04-17 23:45:58	@kido	libhybris works quite well on them whereas the sw3 uses a broadcom soc which isn't showing anything on screen for obscure reasons
2016-04-17 23:47:07	sonysw3guy	so since the asus zenwatch is the same soc as the lg, how has that been going?
2016-04-17 23:47:58	@kido	locusf is on it and I'm quite sure it will work as soon as he finds a little bit of time ahead of him :)
2016-04-17 23:49:11	@kido	he hasn't got a shell via usb yet but we have a track, we just need some free time to hack that
2016-04-17 23:49:58	sonysw3guy	interesting
2016-04-17 23:51:25	@kido	how confident are you with debugging things?
2016-04-17 23:51:36	mcirsta2	kido: I still dind't get the time to work on it due to working on Frugalware stuff but I still feel a pure Linux implementation is doable
2016-04-17 23:51:42	mcirsta2	no libhybris that is
2016-04-17 23:52:15	@kido	if you feel you can help on the current smartwatch 3's problems you can compile the current state of asteroid
2016-04-17 23:52:43	mcirsta2	did you talk to that guy Eric Anholt I think that's working on the open source Videocore IV driver
2016-04-17 23:52:45	mcirsta2	?
2016-04-17 23:52:46	@kido	mcirsta2: for which targets?
2016-04-17 23:53:00	mcirsta2	Qualcomm should be doable with Freedreno
2016-04-17 23:53:16	mcirsta2	and Broadcom with the RPi one
2016-04-17 23:53:22	@kido	yes I talked with him on the mesa channel, he confirmed that we could use the free videocore IV driver but it still requires to backport a mainline kernel
2016-04-17 23:53:34	@kido	same for freedreno
2016-04-17 23:53:45	mcirsta2	what kernel does it use ? 3.4 , 3.10 ?
2016-04-17 23:53:51	mcirsta2	the Broadcome one I mean
2016-04-17 23:53:56	@kido	3.10
2016-04-17 23:53:59	mcirsta2	hmm
2016-04-17 23:54:04	mcirsta2	OK , yes
2016-04-17 23:54:37	sonysw3guy	i like trying
2016-04-17 23:54:40	mcirsta2	ooor you could make the mainline kernel work :)
2016-04-17 23:54:48	mcirsta2	the Rpi one ?
2016-04-17 23:54:54	@kido	no
2016-04-17 23:54:59	@kido	the architecture is different
2016-04-17 23:55:13	mcirsta2	ah and there's not mainline port for this SOC ?
2016-04-17 23:55:21	@kido	at all
2016-04-17 23:55:21	mcirsta2	with DT and all the good stuff ?
2016-04-17 23:55:25	mcirsta2	bummer then
2016-04-17 23:56:19	@kido	I already spent a lot of time merging the sw3 support of the aosp's bcm kernel to the sony's unified kernel so I'm starting to know their code base and I *could* potentialy do that
2016-04-17 23:56:53	@kido	but this will require lot of time and I feel like asteroid has already been in "pause" for too much time because of the sw3
2016-04-17 23:57:04	mcirsta2	well I dunno the details but porting the open source driver sounds a lot more rewarding than getting the closed source one with libhybris
2016-04-17 23:57:47	mcirsta2	you decide how to spend your time on this but IMO it's better spent working Asteroid than this specific port
2016-04-17 23:58:14	mcirsta2	Asteroid codebase will live on SW3 might be history soon :)
2016-04-17 23:58:32	@kido	sonysw3guy: ok let me check if my current meta-tetra-hybris layer is pushed and then you can compile it
2016-04-17 23:59:33	@kido	mcirsta2: I totaly agree that this would be an awesome use of the open source drivers and the sw3 would become a super platform
