| 00:00.21 | jianghongbob | A1Sheds: hi... |
| 00:00.35 | A1Sheds | hello |
| 00:01.20 | jianghongbob | A1Sheds: I am interesting in the GSoC project OpenEC32... |
| 00:03.09 | A1Sheds | ok |
| 00:03.17 | jianghongbob | A1Sheds: and I have some understanding of arm cross-compile toolchain and u-boot loader... Could give me some suggestion? |
| 00:03.25 | A1Sheds | post this on the ML |
| 00:03.38 | A1Sheds | arm-netbook@lists.phcomp.co.uk |
| 00:03.56 | A1Sheds | join and post your interest |
| 00:04.25 | A1Sheds | then luke or myself can get you in contact with the RTEMS group |
| 00:04.40 | A1Sheds | and we will also have your email address |
| 00:04.59 | jianghongbob | Ok. Will do this now. |
| 00:05.11 | A1Sheds | the openEC32 project is mostly getting RTEMS working with stm32 |
| 00:05.39 | A1Sheds | there is also some porting from 8bit 8052 to arm cortex-m3 32bit |
| 00:06.12 | jianghongbob | ah. I also have some experience in 8052... |
| 00:06.21 | A1Sheds | 8051/2 |
| 00:06.34 | jianghongbob | yep. The 8bit MCU from intel |
| 00:07.03 | A1Sheds | http://rhombus-tech.net./gsoc2012/ideas/openec32/ |
| 00:07.32 | A1Sheds | you would actually be working 50% with the RTEMS devs and 50% here |

| 00:12.56 | jianghongbob | A1Sheds: email sent. |
| 00:14.12 | A1Sheds | lkcl: be sure to check the ML for jianghongbob's info |
| 00:14.54 | A1Sheds | I hope it's not too late for the RTEMS guys |
| 00:15.48 | A1Sheds | jianghongbob, you might want to look at http://www.rtems.com/ |
| 00:17.00 | jianghongbob | A1Sheds: Thanks. checking it. |
| 00:18.31 | A1Sheds | jianghongbob, you'd have to get RTEMS working on a STM32 card http://www.st.com/internet/evalboard/product/250863.jsp |
| 00:20.46 | jianghongbob | A1Sheds: has any code done for this board or I need to start it from the beginning? |
| 00:21.24 | A1Sheds | jianghongbob, you'd have to convince the RTEMS devs that you can install it, there is ARM support |
| 00:21.38 | A1Sheds | so it compiles for stm32 |
| 00:21.55 | A1Sheds | but you'd have to get the peripherals going |
| 00:23.08 | jianghongbob | A1Sheds: so I need to buy a board first... |
| 00:23.40 | A1Sheds | jianghongbob, I'll have to see if they still have an opening |
| 00:23.58 | A1Sheds | then you'll have to see if they think you can handle it |
| 00:24.18 | A1Sheds | then we'll get you a board :) $10 |
| 00:24.55 | jianghongbob | A1Sheds: I think I really fit for this project :-) |
| 00:25.00 | A1Sheds | #rtems, but it might be too late today to chat with anyone about it |
| 00:25.09 | A1Sheds | you could try |
| 00:25.37 | lkcl | A1Sheds: just got it |
| 00:41.09 | mpthompson | A week ago I ordered a Mele A1000 from AliExpress. Anyone have luck from the vendor Tom Cubie through AliExpress? |
| 01:00.33 | jianghongbob | A1Sheds: lkcl RTEMS guys have 2 questions: 1. the board you recommend cant run rtems since the ram is too small |
| 01:00.57 | jianghongbob | 2. OpenEC license would need to be aligned to the RTEMS one |

| 14:05.00 | specing | blackscreened after unlocking; battery was 1/2 |

| 14:06.24 | specing | I held it for like 30s |
| 14:06.26 | specing | nothing |

| 14:08.40 | specing | mine has no charging led |

| 14:11.58 | specing | nope, still dead |
| 14:12.34 | specing | Ah we have life! |
| 14:12.49 | specing | and dead again |

| 14:13.17 | mnemoc | maybe loose connector? tried usb? |
| 14:14.11 | specing | I've got the the ADB shell! All hope is not lost afterall |

| 14:15.31 | specing | Ah, now it boots after manually mounting /data from adb shell |

| 14:17.27 | specing | on tmpfs ofcourse |
| 14:17.37 | mnemoc | :p |
