| 01:58.31 | FinboySlick | Hello people. |
| 02:01.10 | FinboySlick | I was curious on the eoma-68 platform, are some of the example motherboards presented on elinux.org getting manufactured by anyone? Or are they just examples? |
| 02:05.31 | FinboySlick | I'd be mostly interested in the smaller version of the the mini-engineering board example or some equivalent. |
| 02:07.14 | hno | FinboySlick, first prio is getting a CPU module ready. |
| 02:08.30 | FinboySlick | hno: A10 version was planned for March, right? |
| 02:10.38 | hipboi | FinboySlick: yes |
| 02:11.35 | FinboySlick | I guess since what i'm interested in pretty much just amounts to connectors, it shouldn't be a very complicated first-design job. |
| 02:13.25 | A2Sheds | were are just waiting for connector sources |
| 02:13.58 | FinboySlick | A2Sheds: On the CPU side, or are you talking about mobo products? |
| 02:14.07 | A2Sheds | yes, your IO board should be pretty simple, power supply plus some passives + conectors |
| 02:14.36 | A2Sheds | the CPU is in a module/card |
| 02:14.51 | FinboySlick | A2Sheds: Yeah, I did mean the CPU module there. |
| 02:15.06 | A2Sheds | the eoma68 cards slide into an IO board |
| 02:15.24 | A2Sheds | the IO board could be a laptop, set-top-box , tablet whatever |
| 02:15.27 | FinboySlick | A2Sheds: I know. I was just clarifying which side you're waiting for connectors on. |
| 02:15.43 | A2Sheds | the actual eoma68 cards |
| 02:21.21 | hipboi | A2Sheds: why we are waiting connectors |
| 02:22.34 | A2Sheds | the brand name connectors cost more than the whole board |
| 02:25.02 | A2Sheds | so we are tracking down the lower cost equivalent connectors |
| 02:27.27 | hipboi | i see |
| 02:27.36 | hipboi | so we are waiting for seven? |
| 02:28.12 | FinboySlick | A2Sheds: How complex would it be to have a DVI/HDMI (just the video part) connector on the A10. I don't need it but it might inspire another project. |
| 02:28.54 | FinboySlick | I assume one would have to convert the LVDS output? |
| 02:29.22 | A2Sheds | it has HDMI |
| 02:29.40 | FinboySlick | Oh heh ;) |
| 02:30.14 | A2Sheds | there no LVDS output |
| 02:30.19 | A2Sheds | TTL or HDMI |
| 02:30.43 | A2Sheds | TTL is on the 68 pin connector, the HDMI is on the mini on the opposite edge of the card |
| 02:31.24 | FinboySlick | Ok. I was mostly looking at the elinux examples again and wasn't entirely sure. |
| 02:36.24 | A2Sheds | http://rhombus-tech.net./allwinner_a10/ |
| 02:36.27 | FinboySlick | A2Sheds: Do you need the connectors in the US or in china? |
| 02:36.37 | A2Sheds | china |
| 02:43.32 | FinboySlick | And to think there's likely mountains of old USRobotics modems discarded in landfills with just the connectors you want. |
| 02:43.59 | A2Sheds | <A2Sheds> worst case I'll have to send connector 3d models to co's in China to make the dies |
| 02:44.30 | A2Sheds | too old by now, we just need to find the tooling |
| 02:45.12 | A2Sheds | it's not just the 68 pin, it the usb, hdmi, audio and sd-card |
| 02:45.12 | FinboySlick | Heh, they'd be a heck of a lot more expensive to desolder than to buy even if they weren't too old. |
| 02:45.23 | A2Sheds | chat later |
| 02:45.28 | FinboySlick | Yup. |

| 08:55.53 | lkcl | hipboi: yes we're waiting for seven, and the factory. the factory has joined in the search for connectors: normally they don't do that, but in this case it's in their best interests to establish relations with components suppliers that _they_ trust |
| 08:56.12 | lkcl | anyway yes they found a company that does 68-pin PCMCIA (hooray!) |
| 08:56.22 | lkcl | the company had taken them off their web site buuuut |
| 08:56.49 | lkcl | they were (and are) still supplying a French company with parts for a Conditional Access (Satellite) module |
| 08:57.05 | lkcl | and _guess_ what Conditional Access Modules use? |
| 08:57.21 | lkcl | yeahh you guessed it, PCMCIA :) |
| 09:31.27 | hipboi | lkcl: so what others we need to do? |
| 09:38.08 | lkcl | mid-mount micro-usb AB |
| 09:38.17 | lkcl | mid-mount micro-hdmi type D |
| 09:38.32 | lkcl | mid-mount 4-pole audio (3.5mm) |
| 09:38.46 | lkcl | that's the high priority |
| 09:39.21 | lkcl | the micro sd should be easy |
| 10:37.43 | CaCtus491 | so, I've got a lot of these: |

| 10:39.42 | CaCtus491 | prolly about 10% as capable as the A10 :) |
| 10:40.29 | CaCtus491 | Any suggestions on anything they could be used for? Seems a shame to turf them. |
| 10:45.52 | CaCtus491 | ...by alot of them, I mean ~150. Helped pull them from a hotel, seemed like a good idea at the time :) |

| 13:08.24 | mnemoc | we will see :) |
| 13:08.42 | zenitraM | not that i care, but i expected them to be the same as retail, we'll have to wait then :) |
| 13:09.21 | mnemoc | i asume we all want it as a devkit initially |
| 13:09.30 | A2Sheds | lkcl: let QingPei1 know the price we need to beat for the 68 pin, he's checking as well for all the connectors |
| 13:09.40 | zenitraM | i took a look at the sys_config.fex and it seems it has enabled on the config a 800x480 lcd display lol |
| 13:09.58 | zenitraM | yup, in fact i've used my tablet more time so far as a devkit that on android lol |

| 13:12.02 | zenitraM | i also got tom's as a spare |
| 13:12.11 | zenitraM | as tom's doesn't seem to block the usb port |

| 14:37.14 | mnemoc | multi-file changes when editing a wiki? |
| 14:38.14 | fil | ikiwiki isn't really a wiki -- it's a thinly disguised git repository, pretending to be a wiki, blog, bug-tracker, whatever ;-) |

| 14:38.51 | fil | (well, and VCS actually, but git by default) |
| 14:39.30 | mnemoc | sure, but I would assume one commit per change, and changes in a wiki are "likely" to only involve one file |
| 14:42.29 | fil | well, yes, when normal people are involved, perhaps ;-) http://git.hands.com/?p=rhombus.git;a=commitdiff;h=65b906839351d0c6f67aef057ee883e31d7fd975;hp=d305a1be08dc52baeae73fe9acb1c3fc77bbd9fc |
| 14:43.20 | fil | (although that's probably the only edit that isn't a single change in the whole history) |
| 14:43.24 | mnemoc | that's cheating |
| 14:44.32 | mnemoc | anyhow, "cheap hack" could check if it's only one file involved before mangling the message :) |
| 14:45.16 | fil | yeah, probably -- I need to work out what is actually being sent to CIA, so I can perhaps munge it before it gets to them... |
| 14:47.29 | fil | also, assuming anyone is likely to take advantage, I could always put some effort into working out how one enables the general public to push git changes, if others wanted to "cheat" :-) |
| 14:47.53 | fil | or you can all just send me ssh keys |
| 14:48.14 | mnemoc | nah, keep it web only |
| 14:48.53 | mnemoc | "cheating" doesn't happen often |
| 14:55.00 | fil | well, except that if anyone's planning on adding signifficant content, they'd be much better off preparing it locally, so they can get it looking as they want, using their prefered editor, and then push it all in one go -- but i guess anyone that thinks like that will send me an ssh key |
| 14:56.45 | mnemoc | :) |
| 15:02.31 | fil | mnemoc: Hmm, well, if the thing changed if a .mdwn file, the URL should probably be the rendered output rather than the source, whereas, if it's a .html page the url will include the html bit -- other cases I'm not sure about |

| 15:26.58 | mnemoc | it's quite common these days that commit notifications over irc and email include a link to the change in the version control browser |

| 22:32.45 | mnemoc | arokux_h: it is an eoma68 board like that |
| 22:33.08 | mnemoc | arokux_h: eoma goes on the inside, the oder connectors go to the outside |
| 22:33.17 | mnemoc | other* |
| 22:35.24 | mnemoc | it can be used standalone or as the "core" of a bigger system |
| 22:35.45 | arokux_h | so it is this what is meant? http://elinux.org/images/4/42/Mini_pcmcia_engineering_board.png |
| 22:36.11 | mnemoc | that's one use, yes |
| 22:38.14 | arokux_h | mnemoc, my question is what *exactly* is preordered here: http://rhombus-tech.net/allwinner_a10/orders/ :) |
| 22:38.47 | mnemoc | an a10-based eoma68 card/module |
| 22:40.03 | arokux_h | so this thing: http://rhombus-tech.net/EOMA68-CARD00.png |
| 22:40.11 | arokux_h | mnemoc |
| 22:40.56 | mnemoc | with connectors on the external side, and without the metal case, yes |
| 22:41.15 | arokux_h | ok! now it's clear! |
| 22:41.25 | arokux_h | thanks! |
| 22:41.37 | mnemoc | yw |
| 22:47.37 | arokux_h | mnemoc, the latest news are from 18 Jan 2012, what is the current status? are there any expectation as to when this board will be manufactured? half a year, year? |
| 22:48.46 | mnemoc | might be weeks.... if A2Sheds finds a good source for the connectors soon |
| 22:50.05 | mnemoc | some still hope to have a prototype shown on CeBIT |
| 22:51.15 | arokux_h | mnemoc, actually I wanted to contact you. I've read the mailing list and get to know that you hack on the A10 kernel to port it to mainline. I've seen your git. the code wasn't touched for 2 months or so. is everything done? I'd like to help out with that. |
| 22:53.18 | mnemoc | I'm busy with my normal $work$ and don't have everything needed to test the changes I need to do, so I have my tree on hold... but there is another tree on alioth which had received more commits |
| 22:54.59 | arokux_h | mnemoc, I see. I guess a little could be done without the hardware itself? |
| 22:55.47 | mnemoc | sure, but I need to focus on what pays the bills and the meal of my children currently ;-) |
| 22:56.46 | mnemoc | arokux_h: if you want you fork my 3.0 branch and make it compile :p |
| 22:57.22 | mnemoc | that doesn't require hardware, only time |
| 22:57.26 | arokux_h | mnemoc, it doesn't compile right now?! |
| 22:57.56 | mnemoc | my 3.0 doesn't, right... some APIs have changed since 2.6.36 |
| 22:59.03 | mnemoc | not really deep changes, but require some research after each CC failure |
| 23:00.59 | arokux_h | I see. ok, I'll look into it! |
| 23:01.34 | mnemoc | awesome :) |

| 23:03.21 | arokux_h | mnemoc, why it took for raspberry pi 6 years to develop the board but for EOMA like 2 or so?! It's strange |
| 23:04.59 | mnemoc | different goals |
| 23:05.30 | mnemoc | EOMA seeks for the minimal useful set of pins |
| 23:06.56 | arokux_h | mnemoc, I do not know anything about hardware, but they end up with (almost) same interfaces or? |
| 23:07.49 | mnemoc | I haven't followed the raspberry pi thing, there is nothing interesting for me there, I can't really comment about it |
| 23:08.55 | mnemoc | for me it's just another not-compatible-with-anything toy |
| 23:11.12 | arokux_h | i see |
| 23:16.17 | mnemoc | the goal here is to have several different modules which can be connected to several different devices as needed |
| 23:17.31 | mnemoc | a cortex-a8 of 1.2GHz and 1M is only the starting point |
| 23:18.34 | mnemoc | s/1M/1GB of RAM/ |
| 23:18.42 | mnemoc | thanks ibot |
| 23:25.16 | arokux_h | mnemoc, but then, it would be a different processor and again it's data sheet should be available...? |
| 23:26.45 | mnemoc | hopefully.... been an instandard interface people can make modules with anything they want on them |
| 23:27.07 | mnemoc | s/instandard/standard/ |
| 23:27.37 | mnemoc | even x86 |
| 23:30.26 | arokux_h | mnemoc, but won't it be a proprietary black box? |
| 23:31.05 | arokux_h | which wasn't the goal of the project in the first place... |
| 23:31.27 | mnemoc | this project won't make closed black boxes |
| 23:31.41 | mnemoc | but a side effect of open standards is that anyone can follow it |
| 23:31.58 | mnemoc | to make open or closed bloxes |
| 23:32.03 | mnemoc | hopefully open |
| 23:33.33 | arokux_h | mnemoc, I see. do you compile the kernel with instructions from the wiki? |
| 23:34.20 | mnemoc | ehm... maybe .. I don't know what's there :p |
| 23:34.25 | mnemoc | need to go to sleep now |
| 23:34.43 | arokux_h | mnemoc, ok, good night, see you tomorrow |
| 23:35.20 | mnemoc | make ARCH=arm CROSS=... sun4i_defconfig |
| 23:35.27 | mnemoc | make ARCH=arm CROSS=... uImage |
| 23:35.35 | mnemoc | see you tomorrow |
