| 00:30.26 | lundman | oh heh I fiddled with the config file |
| 00:30.29 | lundman | ok, rebuilding |
| 00:30.48 | Turl | make sure you have the cedarx stuff enabled in the kernel config |
| 00:31.29 | Turl | lundman: btw, how's the eth stuff coming along? |
| 00:31.39 | lundman | slaps turl |
| 00:31.56 | Turl | feels slapped |
| 00:32.46 | Turl | (why was that btw?) |
| 00:32.50 | lundman | after I rebuild kernel, and android boots with my kernel that supports video drivers, I can finally test my nic with playing video |
| 00:32.53 | lundman | :) |
| 00:33.03 | Turl | ah :P |
| 00:33.40 | lundman | now what was the script file that added "+" to version if it has git |
| 00:35.13 | Turl | there's a config variable that controls that |
| 00:35.21 | Turl | LOCALVERSION_AUTO or something like that |

| 01:14.08 | ZaEarl | android? |
| 01:14.29 | furan | hipboi: I figured with the a10's flash stuff in brom |
| 01:14.38 | furan | not sure it supports 32gb nand chips though |
| 01:15.06 | hipboi | 32GB? |
| 01:15.09 | furan | yeah |
| 01:15.18 | furan | gB not gb |
| 01:15.20 | lundman | ok A10 is back in my good books |
| 01:15.26 | hipboi | i think i should be tested |
| 01:15.28 | lundman | the new nic drivers are smooth on 1080p as well |
| 01:15.35 | furan | ok. well, I'll be testing it out this week |
| 01:17.37 | lundman | testing higher bit rate see were the limit is |
| 01:18.36 | RITRedbeard | how about drawing out the SATA lines, eh? |
| 01:18.54 | lundman | homer cares not about sata! |
| 01:19.05 | lundman | although, I did port zfs to it |
| 01:20.02 | ZaEarl | lundman, try these http://www.auby.no/files/video_tests/ |
| 01:20.12 | furan | ok. a10 definitely supports at least 32gb nand flash, but that might be in total |
| 01:20.27 | furan | actually I take that back |
| 01:20.43 | furan | yep at least 32gb |
| 01:21.11 | hipboi | furan: you can take a look at the nand driver |
| 01:21.16 | lundman | just pulling in planet earth, bird scene is always a good test |
| 01:21.24 | hipboi | all supported nand chip information are there, i think |
| 01:21.30 | furan | ooh |
| 01:21.33 | furan | good idea |
| 01:23.18 | RITRedbeard | wait |
| 01:24.03 | ZaEarl | a10 should be smooth on all those samples |
| 01:24.30 | RITRedbeard | is this under linux or android? |
| 01:25.00 | lundman | dunno if you are talking to me, but I'm playing under android |
| 01:25.01 | RITRedbeard | I wasn't aware the lima folks got that far yet unless there is a way to boot the blobs under linux? |
| 01:25.09 | ZaEarl | lima doesn't do video |
| 01:26.07 | ZaEarl | android has a proprietary blob for the cedarx video chip |
| 01:36.42 | furan | hipboi: what happens when the block driver doesn't know what to do with a nand chip? |
| 01:36.50 | furan | e.g. there isn't a table entry for the part |
| 01:37.46 | hipboi | i have tried to created partition table on a nanda part |
| 01:38.40 | furan | I guess if I'm really lazy I can patch the block driver binary |
| 01:38.46 | furan | easy enough to modify a table entry |
| 01:39.11 | hipboi | that will be good |
| 01:41.54 | furan | the other thing I'm wondering about is if there is a hardcoded nand table in on chip BROM, used when flashing the device |

| 01:43.57 | hipboi | when flashing, there are program downloaded into dram |
| 01:44.08 | hipboi | that contains the nand table |
| 01:44.16 | furan | same block driver used? |
| 01:44.24 | hipboi | yes, i think |
| 01:44.26 | furan | ok |
| 01:44.32 | furan | this will be interesting :) |
| 01:44.43 | Turl | furan: you can always boot from SD Card though |
| 01:45.03 | Turl | boot a linux supporting the new chip and flash that way |
| 01:45.23 | lundman | i boot linux, modprobe nand driver, and dd a new android kernel |
| 01:45.32 | lundman | but then I7m crazy |
| 01:45.40 | Turl | lundman: I dd them inside android :) |
| 01:45.44 | CIA-122 | rhombus-tech: Casey master * r353efdfb5bfc /allwinner_a10/orders/CaseyAU.mdwn: |
| 01:45.54 | lundman | that works when kernel is good enough to boot :) |
| 01:45.58 | Turl | lundman: actually I don't even dd them |
| 01:46.03 | Turl | I cat them and pipe :P |
| 01:46.38 | hipboi | if you don't have a working kernel |
| 01:46.39 | Turl | lundman: if your kernel is crap you can boot the recovery partition with a key combo usually |
| 01:46.49 | lundman | too much effort |
| 01:46.49 | Turl | and dd another one |
| 01:46.50 | hipboi | you can boot it and test with fastboot |
| 01:47.02 | lundman | :) |
| 01:47.11 | Turl | hipboi: fastboot boot works? |
| 01:47.14 | furan | i like how hackable the a10 is |
| 01:47.23 | furan | wish there were more docs |
| 01:47.32 | hipboi | Turl: yes, it works though the code is ugly |
| 01:47.35 | Turl | the one time I tried fastboot it was too fragile, even fastboot reboot broke it :P |
| 01:47.36 | furan | I've been reading the rhombus-tech site |

| 01:48.17 | lundman | took code from dm9000 and inserted into wemac |
| 01:48.45 | Turl | lundman: any relation between wemac and dm9000? |
| 01:48.49 | lundman | there is "script parsing" code, which appears to read the boot/script.bin files for settings |
| 01:48.54 | lundman | which mainline dm9000 just dont have |
| 01:49.43 | Turl | but otherwise it's the same driver? |
| 01:49.45 | hipboi | lundman: you can just remove script parsing |
| 01:50.10 | hipboi | i think with script parsing, the kernel code can never be mainlined |
| 01:51.19 | lundman | yes, but it needs it to get MAC address, and without MAC I could never get dm9000 to "link up" |
| 01:51.49 | hipboi | MAC address can be passed by bootloader |

| 03:41.52 | A2Sheds | and yeah, the dual core module + IO board with SATA is $350 |
| 03:42.58 | A2Sheds | maybe they have a volume application for the quad core so they get better pricing? |

| 03:50.53 | lundman | i looked at nexus q, it does not fit the specs of a mediaplayer :) |
| 03:51.20 | Turl | huh? |
| 03:51.27 | Turl | it is designed to be a media player :) |
| 03:52.09 | Turl | (and has waay more chance of playing an unsupported format with sw decoding than an A10 device I must say :P) |

| 03:53.06 | A2Sheds | Yes. You will get the full schematics of Exynos4412 CPU module and ODROID-X base board. |
| 03:53.22 | lundman | no, its designed to search for things to play, like youtube, netflicks etc. |
| 03:53.22 | A2Sheds | Can I get layout file and gerber file? |
| 03:53.22 | A2Sheds | No |
| 03:53.31 | lundman | if you like in a country without those services... :) |

| 03:54.34 | Turl | let me find out |

| 15:09.21 | rm | my second MK802 is at "Departure from outward office of exchange" from China |
| 15:09.28 | gnexus | it seems rooting ICS is not so easy as 2.3. . . |

| 15:10.48 | gnexus | mnemoc: busybox pkg will not install. . . |
| 15:10.49 | DonkeyHotei | your ip address appears to be irish. fitting, since xchat shows your nick in green |
| 15:10.56 | traeak | the new ofifcial ICS is interesting in that it seems they dont' hvae all the canned applications |
| 15:11.18 | gnexus | traeak: Mele ICS needs rooting. |
| 15:11.37 | traeak | gnexus: ahh okay...i just installed it to look at it, then went back to my linux install :-p |
| 15:11.41 | gnexus | traeak: the Mele apps are in a single install |
| 15:11.56 | traeak | gnexus: a different installerthen? |

| 15:16.10 | gnexus | I just wish there was an easier way to root it. |
| 15:16.26 | Turl | rm the funny thing is, as soon as they reach the country, they add a tracking # to all packages |
| 15:16.33 | gnexus | the Mele apps are cool! |
| 15:16.41 | rm | yes but you know it only after you get the package :) |
| 15:16.46 | Turl | rm yeah :P |
| 15:17.10 | Turl | rm for the china tracked ones, you can put the intl code on their site and it tells you the local tracking after it arrives on the country |

| 15:18.26 | gnexus | only thing missing on it really is the serial port. . . |
| 15:18.28 | traeak | you mean ics ? |
| 15:18.37 | Turl | rm they also have this thing that, if it's stopped by customs and you need to pick it up, they charge you 5ARS for 'postal services'. it's free if it arrives at your home |

| 15:19.15 | traeak | for me, i really hate ICS on a tablet. put it on one of my home tablets for a short bit and then tend to end up going back to some form of cm7 |

| 15:21.13 | rm | naaaah |

| 15:21.15 | mnemoc | I get RA,RB,RC,RD,...RF and RR |
| 15:21.18 | Triffid_Hunter | traeak: I have cm7 on my phone, it's sooo sloooww.. seems to reload every icon from flash every time it's displayed, can take up to dozens of seconds to respond to swipes and things |
| 15:21.24 | mnemoc | it's the paid shipping service |
| 15:21.38 | gnexus | Linux poweroff works better on the Mele than a tablet. |
| 15:21.46 | Triffid_Hunter | the stock rom is heaps faster, but also misses various crucial features |
| 15:22.02 | gnexus | i don't like CM |
| 15:22.09 | Turl | Triffid_Hunter: you must have an ancient phone |

| 15:23.11 | Turl | Triffid_Hunter: it's an ARMv6 |
| 15:23.23 | traeak | Triffid_Hunter: and i bet ics wouldn't bothert me so much on a phone..phones are used different form 10" tablets |
| 15:23.26 | Turl | and knowing htc you probably have ~250M usable ram |
| 15:23.44 | Turl | traeak: ICS is phone oriented too |
| 15:23.46 | gnexus | this is a pita. I don't want to copy a kernel and install it just to root ICS |
| 15:23.49 | Turl | traeak: it has a diff ui on a phone |
| 15:24.41 | gnexus | mnemoc: any idea why the internal USB device port is disabled on Mele ICS? |
| 15:24.50 | traeak | Turl: i have a couple of issues with ics...i want to move that action bar around and i want to get rid of all the fancy effects. it seems the launcher i normally use isn't available on ics (at last onthe tablets i have), etc |
| 15:24.56 | Turl | Triffid_Hunter: ADW is crappy though, install some other launcher from the market and enjoy |
| 15:25.05 | Turl | Triffid_Hunter: launcher pro works fast |
| 15:25.10 | Turl | some people like go launcher too |
| 15:25.11 | traeak | Turl: oh yeah and video tanks on my tablet with ics, forgot about that one |
| 15:25.13 | traeak | anyway |
| 15:25.14 | mnemoc | gnexus: the otg? enable it in script.bin |
| 15:25.42 | gnexus | mnemoc: so how do i edit the script.bin in the flash? |
| 15:25.46 | Turl | traeak: define 'tanks' |
| 15:25.56 | mnemoc | gnexus: nanda1 is vfat |
| 15:26.19 | rm | a sad nanda |
| 15:26.34 | Turl | beware with nanda |
| 15:26.43 | gnexus | mnemoc: yes. but how do I access it with a kernel with no nvram suppt? |
| 15:26.55 | Turl | idk if it's just me, but after changing script bin, I have like a 30% chance my tablet won't boot again, even if I just copy the same one |
| 15:26.59 | gnexus | I know use another kernel ;) |
| 15:27.00 | mnemoc | gnexus: mount -t vfat ... |
| 15:27.43 | gnexus | mnemoc: no android root...no android mount. . . |
| 15:28.14 | mnemoc | gnexus: then boot linux from the uSD |
| 15:28.26 | mnemoc | gnexus: then mount nanda and make your changes |
| 15:28.31 | traeak | Turl: same video i play on cm7.2 smoothly slide shows on ICS. just means ICS isn't quite suporete yet. but i'm mostly pissed that the action bar is at the bottom for my tablet. i'll just wait for cm9 or cm10 to mature more. |
| 15:28.46 | gnexus | mnemoc: but the SD kernel does not support NVRAM. . . |
| 15:28.59 | Turl | traeak: on what device? |
| 15:29.03 | gnexus | i need a better kernel. . . |
| 15:29.17 | mnemoc | gnexus: nand support is enabled by default in sun4i_defconfig |
| 15:29.23 | traeak | Turl: thatone is tegra2 which i'm guessing is problematic. i's been awhile since i put ics on my nook color |
| 15:29.42 | gnexus | mnemoc: but not in hipboi's old kernel. . . |
| 15:29.43 | traeak | Turl: but not too relevant. i just need those to be stable since i dont' play with them. |
| 15:30.09 | Turl | traeak: http://www.get.cm/?device=encore |
| 15:30.22 | Turl | traeak: as you see, there's no CM9 there |
| 15:30.23 | mnemoc | gnexus: build your own |
| 15:30.24 | gnexus | mnemoc: i'm copying the newer kernel to sd right now. . . |
| 15:30.31 | traeak | Turl: yeah cm7.2 on th enook color works great |
| 15:30.48 | traeak | Turl: will probably hack my sister in law's nook color to run this |
| 15:30.57 | Turl | traeak: if you find any cm9 build, it's probably made by randoms, with hacked up parts which break the ICS compatibility document |
| 15:30.58 | gnexus | mnemoc: it's already built. Just did not have a mele before to try it. |
| 15:31.03 | traeak | Turl: viewsonic g tablet has about 3 ics variations |
| 15:31.27 | traeak | Turl: i also have a zt-180 that runs ics, it's also irritating in some ways. |
| 15:32.14 | Turl | traeak: my point was, it's not CM's fault that those devices work like crap on whatever CM9 build you downloaded :P |
| 15:32.40 | traeak | Turl: sry zt280 hehe |
| 15:33.08 | traeak | Turl: not cm9 on these, ICS builds.... |

| 16:27.37 | rmull | Is there anything available on the market (hosts, peripherals) that use the eoma68 interface? or is the a10 device on the rhombus-tech website the first device to use it? |

| 17:35.57 | Turl | source one |

| 17:38.55 | gnexus | Turl: thanks! |
| 17:42.27 | gnexus | Turl: i didn't really want to play with a new kernel right now :( |
| 17:42.29 | rm | Turl, will that one work on a Mele? |
| 17:42.53 | gnexus | but at least it boots and lets me get root for Android! |
| 17:43.08 | rm | seems much saner than the sun4i_defconfig, IPv6 and iptables actually enabled |
| 17:43.18 | Turl | rm well, I guess it could, but it'd require changes |
| 17:43.36 | gnexus | rm: sun4i_defconfig sucks! |
| 17:43.42 | Turl | rm I based it on sun4i_defconfig, enabled ipv6 and the netfilter modules for android and a couple other stuff |
| 17:44.00 | Turl | moved pretty much everything that was feasible to builtin too, so to not fight with .ko maintenance on system |
| 17:44.15 | rm | ah, that's a downside for me |
| 17:44.21 | gnexus | Turl: inet6 addr: fe80::2da:72ff:fe44:5de1/64 Scope:Link |
| 17:45.05 | gnexus | at leas that works! |
| 17:45.14 | Turl | rm all the lychee stuff is =y and not =m for example (disp, lcd, hdmi) |
| 17:45.18 | Turl | gnexus: :) |
| 17:45.53 | gnexus | Turl: no ipv6 in the defconfig . . . wtf? |
| 17:46.47 | Turl | mine has +CONFIG_IPV6=y |
| 17:48.05 | Turl | bbiab, gonna beat someone @ hedgewars |
| 17:55.42 | gnexus | i don't think the Mele would be FCC compliant |
| 17:55.57 | gnexus | it's blocking my tv signal! |
| 18:05.10 | Turl | o.O |
| 18:52.36 | traeak | are you sure it's not just a crappy digital signal? |
| 18:52.57 | traeak | i mean ever since the changeover to digital HDTV i don't get a clean signal for anything anymore |
| 18:57.57 | *** join/#arm-netbook ZaEarl (~malmrose@203-97-164-178.cable.paradise.net.nz) |
| 18:58.39 | gnexus | traeak: the signal is very bad. the mele makes it worse when you change res to 1080p. its not as bad in 720p. |
| 18:59.27 | gnexus | so at the higher res the mele makes more rf interference |

| 19:55.42 | traeak | i have a xeon, i installed a cross copmiler and i compile the kernel there |

| 20:00.40 | traeak | my desktop uses some stupid assed supermicro almost microatx core2quad xeon. Our real dev machines use standard atx asus boards with nehalem based i7's. Need to update those |
| 20:01.14 | traeak | i haven't bothered yet to actually set up a compile farm with the mele, don't really see the point for myself at this time |
| 20:01.16 | rzk | got stuck at weird grep problem in mali sources |
| 20:01.17 | arokux | rzk, arch is on an arm board and u are using x86? |
| 20:01.36 | rzk | x86 archlinux compiling linux-allwinner for arm |
| 20:01.49 | arokux | ok, that's not what i'm asking. |
| 20:02.02 | traeak | i just installed some cross compilation stuff from AUR and directly compile there |
| 20:02.21 | traeak | i think regardless you need the cross compiler |
| 20:02.22 | arokux | really? what package? |
| 20:02.44 | traeak | arm-eabi-gcc |
| 20:02.47 | rzk | I thought about getting archlinux-arm on my ly-f1, but after zero support from #archlinux-arm I gave up |
| 20:02.53 | traeak | and that will have you pull in all the other ones |
| 20:03.01 | rzk | A2Sheds had some troubles with arch-arm too. |

| 20:03.45 | traeak | hmm |
| 20:03.51 | hno | what's up tonight? |
| 20:03.59 | traeak | yave you run x86 arch before? |
| 20:04.10 | rzk | yep, its my laptop main system |
| 20:04.52 | traeak | you mean no documentation for an a10 system in particual |
| 20:05.16 | rzk | I didnt even get how to configure abs (arch build system) to work with ALARM (AchLinux-ARM) repository |
| 20:05.29 | rzk | on debian you have debootstrap or rootstock and you are ready |
| 20:05.41 | rzk | on gentoo I remember some tool like debootstrap too. |
| 20:05.42 | traeak | well i did sort of rig my system |
| 20:05.47 | traeak | basically i took the debian boot image |
| 20:05.56 | traeak | extracted the boot partition stuff and the modules |
| 20:06.05 | traeak | then popped the omap3 arm stuff |
| 20:06.16 | traeak | and then overlayed the stuff i extracted from the debian image |
| 20:06.52 | CIA-122 | rhombus-tech: Jeremy master * r3d3a8f6e34f3 /allwinner_a10/orders/jamarzka.mdwn: |
| 20:06.53 | traeak | although that's not necessary if you are confident enough to build and install your own kernel (and bypass the debian stuff) |
| 20:07.10 | arokux | arch ain't no debian, guys. |
| 20:07.31 | rzk | thats.. sorta not my way :3 omap is omap, we need to build our own hwpack and image, so with patches and updates that overlaying stuff will not happen again |
| 20:08.22 | traeak | omap3 ? that a mislabelling on the part of the archlinux arm guys |
| 20:08.56 | traeak | thjey need to break their binary image names into something more reasonable based on armv5/6/7 |
| 20:09.13 | rzk | also they've said that they will work on mele a100 support |
| 20:09.15 | A2Sheds | rzk: we started working with arch-arm in its infancy but the devs didn't really want to share the scripts to build it, they seem to want to have a almost open project yet keep the build process private |
| 20:09.18 | traeak | the omap3 userspace happens to be armv7 |
| 20:09.22 | traeak | not sure if it assumes neon or not |
| 20:09.36 | rzk | build process private? wtf? |
| 20:09.49 | rzk | thats totally no opensource, lol. |
| 20:10.53 | A2Sheds | rzk: they seem to want to be in control of the docs to build it, they would probably share it in exchange for money or recognition of some sort |
| 20:11.24 | A2Sheds | they ted to get upset when pressed for docs |
| 20:11.29 | traeak | interesting |
| 20:11.29 | A2Sheds | ted/tend |
| 20:11.44 | traeak | i dunno how well that meshes with the raspberry pi guys |
| 20:12.00 | traeak | since a proper rpi arch distro should do armv6hf |
| 20:13.43 | A2Sheds | we offered to create and support a tool chain for building their packages, they weren't interested, they even ended up backing all the patches out of the repos, so we went on to to other projects |
| 20:14.11 | rzk | also, toolchain for arm from AUR is broken on arch-testing |
| 20:14.28 | A2Sheds | that was over a year ago, I haven't checked on what they are up to recently |

| 20:17.13 | rzk | no wonder that mk802 will overheat |
| 20:17.34 | rzk | a10 on my ly-f1 heats up thru display |
| 20:21.32 | A2Sheds | rzk: it's similar to ubuntu, it's open source but the docs for building are never accurate and it can be difficult to actually to build from scratch |
