15:03:10 <pwhalen> #topic 1) ==== Userspace Status  ====
15:03:53 <pwhalen> Anyone aware of any new problems?
15:04:58 <pwhalen> #info No new issues reported.
15:05:08 <pwhalen> #topic 2) ==== Kernel Status ====
15:05:17 <pwhalen> #info kernel-5.10.0-0.rc3.68.fc34
15:05:23 <pwhalen> #link https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=1639995
15:05:51 <pwhalen> Started testing this yesterday, seems ok so far.
15:06:02 <jlinton> The coresight/module patches landed in 5.10, so that should allow us to enable the coresight modules.
15:06:02 <coremodule> I will give this some cycles today
15:06:43 <pwhalen> jlinton: nice
15:07:40 <pwhalen> Any one having issues with 5.9?
15:08:05 <pwhalen> I would guess that goes stable this week.
15:08:17 <coremodule> Nothing here, I ran the kernel regression suite on it last week and everything passed
15:08:23 <coremodule> on an RPi4
15:08:33 <coremodule> 5.9 that is
15:08:45 <pwhalen> Awesome, thanks.
15:10:17 <jlinton> Oh, thats good, the regression suite was failing on the rpi4 due to running out of ram/being slow for a long time.
15:10:59 <coremodule> it was on a 4gb pi with aarch64 so maybe that helped... it ran well! :)
15:12:39 <pwhalen> back, just had a power outage here
15:12:55 <coremodule> oh wow, is that common?
15:13:22 <pwhalen> no, they're doing some digging in the neighbourhood
15:13:28 <coremodule> ah gotcha
15:13:47 <pwhalen> #info Please test and report any issues to the list or #fedora-arm.
15:13:57 <pwhalen> #topic 3) ==== Bootloader Status ====
15:14:34 <pwhalen> #info Latest U-Boot available for testing -  uboot-tools-2020.10-3.fc34 (building now)
15:14:41 <pwhalen> #link https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=1640445
15:15:19 <pwhalen> Looks like that has a couple enhancements for the Pinebook Pro
15:15:40 <pwhalen> #info Please test and report any issues to the list or #fedora-arm.
15:15:43 <coremodule> very cool. thanks pbrobinson
15:16:13 <pbrobinson> next up is me documenting it all
15:16:28 <pwhalen> everyone loves documentation :)
15:16:55 <coremodule> do you need any help?
15:16:58 <pbrobinson> then people can stop bothering me about that and continue bothering me about other randeom devices
15:17:04 <pwhalen> LOL
15:17:12 <pwhalen> it will never end. Always something new
15:17:13 <pbrobinson> coremodule: depends on how well you know the low levels of firmware and SPI flash
15:18:18 <coremodule> hmmm, I don't know either... I understand some bits, but I want to learn more... if I can help somehow, I'm glad to
15:18:50 <pbrobinson> coremodule: if you have a PBP once I've posted details feedback would be great
15:19:11 <coremodule> sounds good
15:20:00 <pwhalen> #topic 4) ==== Fedora 33 ====
15:20:33 <pwhalen> Checking F33, looks liek the alt website still needs updating to point to the new images. Will ping on the ticket.
15:20:59 <pwhalen> Anyone aware of any other issues in F33?
15:21:10 <pbrobinson> thanks pwhalen, do you have the ticket handy?
15:22:57 <pwhalen> https://pagure.io/fedora-web/websites/issue/158
15:24:36 <pwhalen> Anything else for F33?
15:24:48 <pwhalen> #topic 4) ==== Fedora 34 ====
15:25:32 <pwhalen> Any plans for F34? I think we plan on moving to the uefi images as the default for armhfp
15:26:05 <jlinton> I've been considering MTE lately, although I think F34 might be to early to enable it
15:26:39 <jlinton> (thats the arm v8.5 memory tagging extension)
15:27:05 <jlinton> An early version of the kernel code landed in 5.10 too.
15:27:23 <pbrobinson> yes, I've got on my list to look at UEFI on ARMv7 for everything
15:27:44 <pbrobinson> also looking at GPT as I think now rpi firmware supports loading from GPT
15:28:31 <pbrobinson> and adjusting where the partitions start to give us some room at the beginning for rockchips U-Boot to make it easier to support that
15:28:34 <jlinton> I also want to figure out how to re-enable https boot.
15:28:43 <jlinton> that might be a better F34 feature.
15:28:46 <pbrobinson> jlinton: where was it disabled?
15:29:24 <jlinton> Well, it could be edk2, but when I test https booting the grub.cfg isn't right, and the kernel/initrd need to be part of the initial load.
15:29:45 <jlinton> its 99% working at the moment, but needs a couple of slight tweaks.
15:29:57 <jlinton> to be able to boot directly from the mirrors.
15:30:25 <pbrobinson> jlinton: that would be fab. let me know if i can help
15:31:51 <pwhalen> that would explain the issues I had when testing in f33.
15:32:49 <pwhalen> #topic 5)  == Open Floor ==
15:33:00 <pwhalen> Anything else for today?
15:33:13 <coremodule> just fyi
15:33:15 <coremodule> I spent some time playing with hexxeh's upstream new .dtb for the RPi400 and aarch64 rawhide yesterday, couldn't make it boot. It complains about not being able to access the phy, then dumps me to a uboot prompt. But I have the hardware for testing for when it makes it's way to us.
15:35:14 <pbrobinson> coremodule: there's a new firmware for it, I've not pushed it yet because I've not tested that on anything I have
15:35:22 <pbrobinson> and it'll probably need U-boot work
15:36:16 <pbrobinson> I don't have the device and I have little urge to get one myself, I'm mostly burned out on the rpi in general so it'll likely have to wait until stuff is upstream I can consume
15:36:17 <coremodule> pbrobinson, is there any documentation that you know of on properly installing/testing the firmware? just so I can run some tests to try to save you some time
15:36:36 <pbrobinson> coremodule: I can do you a scratch build
15:36:44 <coremodule> that would be great
15:36:50 <pbrobinson> I have most of that side of things done, I just haven't done any testing
15:37:07 <coremodule> I'm trying to share the load, so the burden of rpi on fedora doesn't fall solely on you
15:38:17 <pwhalen> ok, lets continue in channel.
