<ellyq>
welp, it clearly sees eMMC now but craps itself just like MT8195 does
<dcz[m]>
""Synchronous Abort" handler,"?
<ellyq>
yep
<dcz[m]>
ellyq: seeing that you're already working, do you want to help me write an MoU and open the money faucet?
<ellyq>
i gotta catch some sleep, i spend entire night on this driver
<ellyq>
s/spend/spent
<dcz[m]>
I am also not eager to start now :P
<dcz[m]>
just wondering if you're ready to get serious
<ellyq>
yes, it would be nice to get MT8196
<ellyq>
UFS should also be less of a PITA than eMMC
<dcz[m]>
was that log from MT8196?
<ellyq>
nah, 8186
<dcz[m]>
do you think 8188 is coming soon?
<ellyq>
MT8186 now gets to the point where it detects the eMMC but panics, MT8195 deadlocks while trying to touch the eMMC
<dcz[m]>
80% of the reason I'm doing this is I want a new computer and I'd rather wait for a convertible than get the 8196 laptop now (especially when I'm still working on the other project)
<ellyq>
you mean MT8189? MT8188's been out for a while but it's a terrible value
<dcz[m]>
um, I probably mean the 8189... Skywalker or something
<ellyq>
yeah, likely in upcoming months
<dcz[m]>
cool, then I'll wait
<dcz[m]>
if the input method project collapses that'll be soon anyway
<timon25h[m]>
you've got a repo somewhere for most of this? or I guess it's spread over a few?
<timon25h[m]>
ellyq: sorry I'm still quite hazy on everything, but as far as I got it: we're hoping upstream coreboot and the linux-kernel will support the hardware (at least mostly) and the bulk of the work is to get u-boot to also support it leveraging code/info from coreboot and linux as needed?
<timon25h[m]>
I'm assuming there's no proper detailed docs available for most of the hardware?
<ellyq>
there's absolutely zero documentation about the hardware
<ellyq>
coreboot isn't a problem, i can get patches in if needed, linux is mostly there but not quite
<ellyq>
we get no schematics, no SoC documentation, you need to figure it out by looking at linux/MTK u-boot
