21:13.09hnomnemoc, axp should force shut down power if you hold the power button for 10 seconds or so.

21:17.44mnemochno: true... I wanted a clean shut down... and then got pissed :p
21:19.10mnemochno: can we use our u-boot nand on the A13 as-is? considering dram initialization is already done by boot[01]
21:20.45mnemocI don't really like the idea of touching the nand until I know the thing will work
21:20.50mnemocwhich isn't the case
21:21.16RaYmAnDid you get it in fel mode yet?
21:21.17mnemocbeed to review this script.bin.... at first sight things should be working
21:21.39mnemocRaYmAn: haven't tried... was truing to make sense of the pins in the schematic
21:22.10mnemocatm I don't know which is the FEL pin
21:22.25RaYmAn'k, just figured that'd be a good start before playing with replacing NAND stuff
21:22.49mnemocyes, absolutely
21:23.00RaYmAnit's named UBOOT on the schematics I think
21:23.15mnemocI see it on the chip... but where does it end?
21:23.32RaYmAnit's mentioned on the button part
21:23.47RaYmAnthough, I'm not sure what exactly that means..holding down all buttons? or any button? :S
21:24.08mnemoc:S
21:24.30RaYmAntbh, that'd be a good test of sd wouldn't it? Popping in a fel-boot image
21:26.05mnemocrandom button worked
21:26.09mnemocso means "any"
21:26.16RaYmAn'k
21:26.17mnemocAWUSBFEX 00162500 00000001 ver=0001 44 08 scratchpad=00007e00 00000000 00000000
21:29.04mnemocback to pin docu mode
21:36.36libvtraeak: there are many unknowns still
21:37.10mnemocfortunatelly.... an almighty life would stink
21:38.06mnemocs/mighty/knowing/
21:44.19rz2k<RaYmAn> though, I'm not sure what exactly that means..holding down all buttons? or any button? :S - on ly-f1 you need to press any button except power, connect usb still pressing button and then rapidly press power 3-6 times.
21:44.32rz2kinstead of power up cpu goes to fel
21:46.14rz2ks/power up/u-boot/
21:56.19RaYmAnyeah, that method worries me kinda
21:56.28RaYmAnas far as I can tell, that's boot0/boot1 that does it?
21:56.31*** join/#arm-netbook Gujs_ (~Gujs@cpe-92-37-83-13.dynamic.amis.net)
21:56.42RaYmAnor is it bootrom?
22:04.32mnemocRaYmAn: brom is checks the pin
22:04.54mnemocRaYmAn: boot1 check the break dancing on the keys
22:05.09RaYmAnyeh, exactly :/
22:05.32RaYmAnthough, I guess if boot1 is fubared, it'll probably enter FEL automatically
22:05.49RaYmAnassuming it's broken in a detectable way anyways
22:05.59mnemochno made a "bootloader" to jump to FEL from SD
22:06.35RaYmAnyeah, I know - that's what I suggested you used to test SD if you haven't
22:06.36RaYmAn:P
22:06.44mnemocbut I'm starting to think my board has troubles on the SD
22:07.01mnemocgood idea
22:08.01mnemocbut wanted to review the .fex fier
22:08.03mnemocfirst
22:08.39mnemocI should actually test the /dev/nand patch first and get that merged
22:08.51RaYmAnraw dump patch?
22:09.21mnemocfull nand block device
22:09.29RaYmAncool
22:09.49mnemocand a toy to repartition which will go to sunxi-tools
22:10.02RaYmAncool
22:10.53mnemocmuch cooler than documenting pins in a wiki :p
22:16.45Turlmnemoc: repartition \o/
22:16.56Turlmnemoc: we'll need that one for jellybean :P
22:17.34mnemocit's from a guy called patrick h wood
22:18.07Turlnever heard of him
22:18.13Turlat least not using his name
22:18.19mnemocneither have i
22:19.46TurlI got my relay card now and a usb extension cable
22:19.53TurlI can UART mele at a distance now :P
22:20.20mnemoc:)
22:20.25mnemocan OTG?
22:20.31mnemocs/an/and/
22:20.33Turlno
22:20.40Turla male to female usb cable
22:20.49Turlmy PC is far from the mele :)
22:21.11mnemocI mean, will you get OTG too?
22:21.29Turlwhy would I?
22:21.34Turlmele has no otg port o.O
22:21.45mnemocit has, on the inside
22:22.20Turlwith a usb connector? o.O
22:22.28mnemocwith pins
22:22.41Turlwhy would I want an otg cable then if it's just pins?
22:23.16mnemocto play with fel and usb gadget
22:23.27mnemocand adb
22:23.29Turlyeah but why OTG?
22:23.35Turlyou'll need to strip the connector anyway
22:24.06mnemocsorry, I my misuse of the term confused you
22:25.23mnemocI talking about using the slave port as slave, not about using it as master
22:25.34mnemochost*
22:25.47mnemocwhatever :-/
22:27.15Turlyeah but the kind of cable doesn't matter
22:28.52RaYmAnTo complicate things further, usually when people refer to OTG cable, it's the cable that makes host mode work ;)
22:29.49mnemocTurl: forget it, doesn't matter... I'm too tired to talk straight
22:30.42Turl:P
22:58.12rz2k[02:05:33] <RaYmAn> though, I guess if boot1 is fubared, it'll probably enter FEL automatically - thats right, if you dont end flashing with livesuit right way, device will be stuck in FEL. there are definetely some checks on that.
23:00.28mnemocaaarg... my ttl/usb is drunk again
23:03.56Turldrunk?
23:04.03Turldropped it inside alcohol? :P
23:04.28mnemocnope, it just likes to stop working when I need it most
23:08.18*** join/#arm-netbook ssspiff (~quassel@unaffiliated/yukito)
23:12.01mnemocwants to test 3.0.39 and the dongle decided to halt just when I needed to access u-boot
23:15.08mnemocgood, after a short nap it's back operational :)
