| 08:44.08 | mnemoc | hipboi: hi, do you have something in english about booting from sd? |
| 08:47.13 | hipboi | mnemoc: hi |
| 08:47.21 | hipboi | mnemoc: sorry, not yet |
| 08:47.39 | hipboi | mnemoc: i am working on u-boot spl |
| 08:47.53 | eduprey | hipboi: was that you on the list with the adapter board? who was doing that? |
| 08:48.11 | eduprey | uSD breakout board for serial or something |
| 08:48.54 | hipboi | we use the breakout board a lot in allwinner |
| 08:49.08 | hipboi | debugging product |
| 08:49.15 | mnemoc | hipboi: do you sell it? :) |
| 08:49.27 | hipboi | it's very cheap.. |
| 08:49.32 | hipboi | i can send you some |
| 08:49.41 | mnemoc | :D |
| 08:49.52 | hipboi | but the fee seems high |
| 08:50.10 | mnemoc | do you have paypal? |
| 08:50.17 | hipboi | no.. |
| 08:50.30 | hipboi | because i don't have credit card |
| 08:51.31 | mnemoc | luke has a friend in hk... maybe we can coordinate something when the eoma68 cards are built |
| 08:51.48 | mnemoc | so both are shipped together |
| 08:52.00 | mnemoc | A2Sheds: ---^ ? |
| 08:53.36 | hipboi | i think it's ok |
| 08:54.15 | mnemoc | does your breakout board have pins and switchs or it's for soldering your wires? |
| 08:55.10 | hipboi | the breadout board is with a usb cable |
| 08:55.39 | hipboi | the usb cable has a usb to serial converter |
| 08:55.40 | mnemoc | perfect |
| 08:56.12 | eduprey | hipboi: FT232R based or something? |
| 08:56.17 | hipboi | yes |
| 08:57.45 | mnemoc | hipboi: how much do you thing it would cost to buy one and get it shipped over normal airmail? |
| 08:59.37 | hipboi | let me check |
| 09:00.45 | eduprey | hipboi: so you don't use JTAG/ |
| 09:00.59 | hipboi | sometimes |
| 09:01.23 | hipboi | at the early stage of porting u-boot |
| 09:01.28 | hipboi | i use jtag |
| 09:01.45 | eduprey | hipboi: how do you load u-boot if SD is a breakout. boot off USB or flash? |
| 09:02.20 | hipboi | boot from nand flash |
| 09:02.48 | eduprey | cool |
| 09:02.51 | hipboi | if you want sd breakout, you can not use it as sd |
| 09:03.23 | eduprey | hipboi: is there like a PMIC that changes routing of the SD connector pins or something like that? |
| 09:03.47 | eduprey | so much I need to learn about this :) |
| 09:04.51 | eduprey | or whatever you call a software controlled mux |
| 09:04.58 | hipboi | it's like the uart tx can be connected to two pins |
| 09:05.24 | eduprey | hipboi: does uboot change it or is it a physical detection of some kind though |
| 09:05.29 | eduprey | in the SoC |
| 09:05.40 | hipboi | software change it |
| 09:05.44 | eduprey | kk |
| 09:05.49 | eduprey | that's what I figured |
| 09:09.10 | hipboi | mnemoc: ems from China to Spain is rmb 280 |
| 09:09.48 | mnemoc | hipboi: and normal airmail? (not express) |
| 09:12.48 | hipboi | it's 18 rmb for 100g |
| 09:13.08 | hipboi | not expensive ; ) |
| 09:14.09 | mnemoc | so, now the problem is how to get you the money |
| 09:15.05 | hipboi | the problem is how to send the airmail |
| 09:15.08 | hipboi | let me check |
| 09:15.17 | hipboi | if it's that cheap |
| 09:15.22 | hipboi | i can pay for it |
| 09:16.56 | eduprey | hipboi: http://www.sparkfun.com/products/9419 this should to it with an TTL -> USB breakout like this I think http://www.sparkfun.com/products/9873 |
| 09:17.06 | eduprey | if it's just TTL serial |
| 09:17.19 | eduprey | same FTDI chip I mentioned |
| 09:18.12 | hipboi | seems the same |
| 09:18.37 | hipboi | but $9 |
| 09:19.01 | hipboi | i think the breakout board i use worth less than 1 rmb |
| 09:19.36 | hipboi | and the cable worth 5 rmb |
| 09:19.36 | eduprey | hipboi: do you have more you could send? and if so do you know what it would cost to send to US and how log it would take? |
| 09:19.55 | eduprey | long |
| 09:20.01 | hipboi | let me google |
| 09:20.41 | hipboi | to north america is the same price as to spain |
| 09:21.40 | hipboi | 10 - 20 days to america |
| 09:22.00 | mnemoc | I love gifts :) but I would feel better payothers would most probably want to buy your tf-to-usb adapter and could be a nice extra income for you.... maybe aliexpress gives you means of been paid using paypal and receive the cash in your normal bank account? |
| 09:22.35 | mnemoc | s/payothers/paying, and others/ |
| 09:25.34 | hipboi | it seems to be a business ; ) |
| 09:26.26 | mnemoc | hipboi: yup, you could make a good one selling stuff to western hackers :) |
| 09:27.31 | mnemoc | to buy a plain pcb + shipping starts in $15-$20 here |
| 09:27.53 | eduprey | hipboi: wow it must be amazing the things you can get in china for so little money |
| 09:28.23 | hipboi | interesting |
| 09:28.47 | eduprey | hipboi: quantity 1 of that FTDI chip from digikey here costs 4.5 USD ~28 RMB |
| 09:30.37 | hipboi | sorry, i need to have meal now, will be back half an hour later |
| 09:30.50 | eduprey | you say you can find a breakout + TTL -> USB cable and ship it here for less than 5 USD, wow |
| 09:31.17 | eduprey | hipboi: ttyl |
| 09:31.39 | mnemoc | hipboi: you could sell a few dozens of those "kits" for $15-20 without troubles |
| 09:31.46 | mnemoc | hipboi: cu |
| 09:34.42 | mnemoc | I'll give my aura ly-f1 to my 10yo daughter as bday present and just ordered an ainol novo7 elf from aliexpress. having this tf-to-usb would make the hacking experience FAR nicer ... specially for those of us who can't solder |
| 09:42.31 | eduprey | mnemoc: ah yes the novo7 elf has 1gb |
| 09:44.19 | mnemoc | it's $134 (shipping included) in aliexpress |
| 09:45.20 | eduprey | hmmm for some reason all the ones that say free shipping, to me, then pop up with a shipping price |
| 09:45.23 | eduprey | strange |
| 09:45.50 | mnemoc | you can choose different shipping methods, not all are free |
| 09:46.16 | mnemoc | also be sure to filter by minimal quantity |
| 09:46.19 | eduprey | none are free to US that I can see :( |
| 09:46.57 | mnemoc | http://www.aliexpress.com/product-fm/525858566-Free-shipping-Ainol-Novo-7-ELF-android-4-0-tablet-pc-Multi-Core-7-capacitive-Multi-wholesalers.html |
| 09:47.02 | mnemoc | tried that one |
| 09:47.06 | mnemoc | try* |
| 09:47.41 | eduprey | ah yeah that works |
| 09:48.16 | mnemoc | but been in the US you can get it faster (without importing punishment) using dhl |
| 09:49.42 | eduprey | I don't know a lot about importing. punishment of what kind? |
| 09:50.36 | mnemoc | in EU you get heavily taxed when using fancy couriers |
| 09:50.57 | mnemoc | that doesn't happen in your country |
| 09:51.50 | eduprey | ahhh |
| 09:52.20 | eduprey | hmm but EMS is $20 more, DHL $33 :-/ |
| 09:53.13 | mnemoc | fancy couriers here force the packages to be taxed so they can then charge you a fee for their kindness of paying the taxes and customs fee |
| 09:53.24 | eduprey | lame |
| 09:56.47 | mnemoc | that's why I prefer to wait 3 weeks even if sometimes the shipping using regular airmail is more expensive at first than dhl or ups |
| 09:57.48 | eduprey | mnemoc: do you know if Novo7 has shared source code (for any of the non-A10 bits IOTW)? |
| 09:58.15 | eduprey | I know GPL should require it but it seems to be fast and loose sometimes |
| 09:58.32 | mnemoc | afaik ainol is very honest on that field |
| 09:59.09 | eduprey | http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1413455 Ainol Novo 7 ICS source code was released |
| 09:59.18 | eduprey | cool |
| 10:00.25 | eduprey | err I think |
| 10:00.47 | mnemoc | ainol has several different 'novo7' tablets, not all are a10 |
