| 01:39.10 | bsdfox_ | is mele A1000 usable as a linux desktop yet? |
| 01:42.30 | bsdfox_ | it seems like ethernet and accelerated video are missing |
| 01:43.27 | furan | accelerated 2d/3d is there, just not video decoder acceleration |
| 01:44.18 | WarheadsSE | eth should work fine. |
| 01:44.20 | bsdfox_ | so desktop is fine just no video? that's ok |
| 01:45.14 | WarheadsSE | no accelerated video decoding |
| 01:45.30 | furan | you can watch video, it's just cpu-bound |
| 01:46.13 | bsdfox_ | gotcha |
| 01:46.29 | bsdfox_ | http://rhombus-tech.net/allwinner_a10/hacking_the_mele_a1000/bootlog_sata_ubuntu_mini_log.txt seems to indicate a lack of eth support |
| 01:49.39 | bsdfox_ | I supposed that may be a kernel configuration issue |
| 02:00.08 | furan | it does? |
| 02:00.12 | furan | the ethernet driver loads fine |
| 02:01.01 | furan | yeah if no inet maybe that's true |
| 02:06.07 | lundman | eth works |
| 02:07.36 | Turl | I use my mele as a server, eth works just fine :) |
| 02:09.07 | bsdfox_ | is it true the A1000 has 2GB formatted and 2GB raw that's usable and the A2000 enables it or is there another difference? |
| 02:09.59 | Turl | no idea, I have a 2000 |

| 07:25.12 | lundman | but anyway, what I mean is, everything should be watched over network, that's what its for. Doesnt make any sense to me to hang a bunch of USB drives off your tv dongle sort of thing |
| 07:25.31 | lundman | and wifi is not an option if you like 1080p |
| 07:25.43 | lundman | which you must do, if you like media, and want to have a media player :) |
| 07:26.29 | Mazon | shouldn't wifi be good enough? - even raw bluray is never above 45mbit ? |
| 07:26.51 | Mazon | and thats only peaks |
| 07:27.17 | lundman | alas, it is not.. wifi cant do sustained streams |
| 07:27.21 | Mazon | I'm not saying that we should base media distribution on wifi, but 1080p shouldn't be an issue on wifi |
| 07:27.31 | lundman | now, I've not tried 'n', but no good |
| 07:27.53 | lundman | on 'g' |
| 07:28.08 | Mazon | I've been doing 720 mpeg2 streams on wifi for quite a while - probably 15mbit peaks, but usually 3-7mbit |

| 07:29.01 | Mazon | I've since switched to powerline, which is much better (but still far from the theoretical PHY) |
| 07:30.09 | lundman | yeah, 720p just about works over wifi nearly all the time |
| 07:30.24 | lundman | I did transcoding for llink too, works with ps3. but everyone just goes for "ps3mediaserver" |

| 07:31.47 | RaYmAn | One thing ps3mediaserver did nicely, was that it could just remux mkvs to MPEG4-TS |
| 07:31.52 | RaYmAn | for PS3 |
| 07:32.00 | RaYmAn | a much cheaper operation than actual transcoding =P |
| 07:32.40 | lundman | yes, llink does that, just change the container |
| 07:33.57 | Mazon | my problem is I need the subtitles - so it needs to transcode them :/ |
| 07:51.01 | Marex | lundman: 22Tb ? nice ;-) |
| 07:51.03 | popolon | there are still devices that doesn't support MKV container ? |

| 08:00.25 | TomNL | dont know, you said co-worker made a mistake, but gimli said there has been no new contact |
| 08:00.54 | hipboi | maybe my workmate is working on it |
| 08:01.00 | hipboi | with complaining |
| 08:01.45 | lundman | i know several people holding off on getting A10 based entirely on the xbmc outcome |
| 08:01.57 | lundman | so one would think allwinner would send some files over :) |
| 08:02.28 | popolon | there is an arm version of powertop, I would like to run it on my android, default android power stats doesn't write the truth |
| 08:03.25 | TomNL | lundman: i don't think its just the xbmc, it's about the image of allwinner as an company willing to work with people outside the company |
| 08:04.32 | lundman | sure, but often chinese companies do just want to come on, flood the market of something, then disappear, this could be allwinners idea too |
| 08:05.12 | lundman | I tried to buy a pivot as soon as I heard it had xbmc support, but they dont sell outside usa |
| 08:07.27 | TomNL | i think they will get available (or similar devices) soon outside usa |
| 08:08.03 | TomNL | but it's a shame, the nice thing of allwinner is the wide variety of devices it's used in |
| 08:08.04 | lundman | yeah so, will we buy pivot, or.. allwinner |
| 08:09.21 | popolon | hope that allwinner will understand the benefits of more customers worldwide |
| 08:09.26 | lundman | but 5 mins someone asked me if they should buy mele |
| 08:09.36 | lundman | I had to say "wait and see what happens with xbmc" |
| 08:10.52 | popolon | I would like a mele has lightweight working station, but still wait |
| 08:11.38 | TomNL | popolon: i am also still waiting on good X support to try and use mele as a spice client |
| 08:16.19 | Mazon | lundman, afaik, pivos will sell it to you for US price + shipping - you just have to mail them directly |
| 08:16.50 | Mazon | that said, its just a geniatech rebranded, same as cyclone afaik |
| 08:16.59 | lundman | and yet, its a 2 min tasks to tick "International OK" on their amazon shop |
| 08:17.13 | lundman | they just dont like my money, its not good enough +) |
| 08:18.48 | Mazon | I know, it's really anoying with all of these devices not having a proper eu reseller |
| 08:20.26 | Gumboot | What's " the XBMC outcome"? |
| 08:20.26 | TomNL | so how big is allwinner as a company anyways? |
| 08:20.30 | lundman | screw eu :) |
| 08:24.50 | popolon | big enough to have SoC used in lot of cheap devices |
| 08:25.29 | TomNL | hipboi: no way to ask your workmate what the status really is? Dont want to put you in any bad position ofcourse, as you already did a lot for the community |
| 08:25.54 | lundman | buy him a coke, then go ask :) |
| 08:27.11 | popolon | 加油 ;) |
| 08:28.28 | popolon | better is to wait, don't do to much pressure |
| 08:28.45 | lundman | waiting is what caused this problem |
| 08:29.17 | lundman | i dont think they can take too long, xbmc has already moved on, but show something now and people are still in the frame of mind |
| 08:29.36 | TomNL | I dont know very much about cultures within chinese companies, thats why i am wondering how things like these work in a company like allwinner |
| 08:31.00 | hipboi | well, let me tell you how things like of work in allwinner |

| 08:35.07 | TomNL | hipboi: how is communication across workmate's...does culture makes it difficult to ask questions? |

| 08:36.33 | ejstacey | I guess it's good that a10s are getting to this point |

| 08:39.02 | ejstacey | TomNL: No offense, I'm just of the opinion that if hipboi his workmate get bugged too much, they'll abandon here/this completely and just do it all themselves |
| 08:39.04 | ejstacey | and we'll get nothing |
| 08:39.24 | lundman | no, it is already too late |
| 08:39.33 | lundman | there is a tiny windows where they could come back and interest xbmc |

| 14:06.43 | Dandel | TomNL: I know that the issue is more that the major SOC's support OpenMax IL w/o android ( so it's broadcom, TI, nvidia, and as for amlogic they have user space that's easier to use directly from ffmpeg ) |
| 14:08.26 | TomNL | Dandel: yes thats true, but if they could make the changes gimli is suggesting maybe the adaption towards ffmpeg is getting easier |
| 14:12.12 | Dandel | i know that my projects actually do have major features dependent on being able to do as much as possible from lowest levels... namely a small image with glibc ( or uclibc ), busybox, client libs, and a few other things ( but nothing anywhere near as complex as android/x11/xorg ) |

| 16:00.40 | popolon | tehre is a Telechips TCC8925 too as Z900 |

| 16:02.58 | xxiao | adding the SATA then it's a real pc |
| 16:03.26 | traeak | hmm? did someone add an esata port to one of these sticks? |
| 16:04.14 | xxiao | if possible, bluetooth too |
| 16:04.19 | xxiao | for keyboard/mouse |
| 16:04.35 | xxiao | but that can be done with usb-hub and usb keyboard/mouse |
| 16:04.47 | xxiao | so please adding sata to mk802 III |
| 16:07.03 | phh | would be nice needed |
| 16:09.09 | popolon | :) |
| 16:09.23 | phh | people might start to call it a mele though :p |
| 16:09.48 | popolon | but if that's via usb 2.0 port, this should be only 30MB/s debit, like a sdcard class 30, well fastest are class 10 today |
| 16:10.09 | popolon | far from the 300MB/s of SSD |
| 16:10.17 | popolon | or more (400MB/s for some) |
| 16:10.18 | rm | xxiao, you have better chances seeing USB 3.0 in such device |
| 16:10.40 | popolon | is Allwinner SoC supporting USB 3.0 ? |
| 16:10.48 | xxiao | no |
| 16:10.49 | popolon | don't believe |
| 16:11.37 | xxiao | usb3==sataII? or sataIII? |
| 16:11.45 | popolon | well 30MB/s is already nice,~ 3* ethernet 100 |
| 16:12.28 | xxiao | yes if usb3 is there why need mSATA/eSATAp/etc |
| 16:12.35 | popolon | SATA2 : 280 MB/s , USB 3.0 300MB/s |
| 16:12.47 | xxiao | so it's about SATA2 then, good enough |
| 16:12.48 | popolon | SATAIII : 600 MB/s |
| 16:12.59 | rm | I mean in an Android TV Stick -like device |
| 16:13.07 | rm | no way you will see SATA |
| 16:13.10 | xxiao | most SSD is like SATA3 i think |
| 16:13.13 | rm | SATA carries no power connection |
| 16:13.22 | orly_owl | usb 3.0 is 5gbps |
| 16:13.23 | xxiao | rm: not if it's eSATAp |
| 16:13.29 | popolon | SATA I : 150MB/s |
| 16:13.30 | rm | no one supports that |
| 16:13.34 | rm | no enclosures |
| 16:13.34 | rm | etc |
| 16:13.36 | xxiao | but again i think usb3 will take overthe market before eSATAp has a chance |
| 16:13.41 | popolon | Gb is not GB |
| 16:13.41 | rm | USB 3.0 enclosures are $7 today |
| 16:13.48 | rm | and provide the same speed + power in one cable |
| 16:14.09 | rm | so a future SoC + devices based on it are much more likely to support USB 3.0 for external storage |
| 16:14.12 | rm | not any sort of SATA |
| 16:14.23 | xxiao | i agree |
| 16:16.04 | popolon | not sure it will fast as SATA, that's a more general protocol, to be verified... |
| 16:16.51 | popolon | and if you use an usb HDD, it will probably have an SATA interface in the box |
| 16:27.03 | traeak | uhh....usb3's overhead would kill the SOC |
| 16:27.07 | Guest90267 | lol |
| 16:29.45 | traeak | so the more bits you push through usb3 the more stressful to the whole system |
| 16:30.41 | traeak | so the issue of real throughput compared with theoretical throughput comes up |
| 16:31.04 | traeak | an allwinner a10 is NOT an ivy bridge with tons of cpu cycles to burn |
| 16:31.04 | popolon | http://liliputing.com/2012/08/gonote-android-4-0-netbook-heading-to-the-uk-for-235.html |
| 16:31.22 | popolon | hu, and dma ? |
| 16:31.51 | popolon | that's the role of the DMA to transfert data, not of the SoC |
| 16:31.59 | traeak | a bit shame, the a10 based netbook should have provided a way to connect an internal 1.8 or 2.5 sata |
| 16:32.38 | popolon | notebook with Rockchip arm, 4usb & hdmi, 1GB ram, not so bad |
| 16:33.04 | xxiao | the problem, why do I want to run android on a netbook? |
| 16:33.21 | popolon | I want to remove it and install linux on it :) |
| 16:33.47 | traeak | USB is a host controlled protocol. Very little is typically offloaded at the chipset level. With SATA the chipset controls "most of it and the CPU deals with the data as little as possible." |
| 16:33.52 | xxiao | the firt thing i like to do with mk802 is to get rid of that android |
| 16:34.00 | popolon | but use a tablet with those pocket+keyboard stuff should be about the same |
| 16:34.02 | xxiao | traeak: that's correct |
| 16:34.38 | xxiao | one perspective is that you need a usb stack to run usb, for SATA there is no stack, just a hardware drive |
| 16:34.42 | xxiao | s/drive/driver/ |
| 16:35.15 | xxiao | so for high-performance NAS/SAN nobody uses usb drives |
| 16:35.29 | popolon | sure :) |
| 16:35.40 | xxiao | but for home and small business USB is more convenient |
| 16:35.43 | popolon | that's good enough for streaming vidéo |
| 16:35.58 | traeak | depends on your slowest link |
| 16:36.31 | traeak | gigabit right now i think would be the bottleneck even with usb3, especially if all the soc is doing is serving the files |
| 16:36.37 | traeak | but point is well taken |
| 16:36.49 | xxiao | similar situation when you want to use usb-wifi-stick with a MCU, the usb-protocol could kill the MCU when it's busy |
| 16:37.24 | xxiao | traeak: that's when you need run network-storage, for local backup it should be fine |
| 16:38.57 | popolon | for now A10 only support 10/100 ether and usb 2.0, no sata, USB 3.0 or Gb ether |
| 16:39.17 | popolon | that's already enough for lot of usages |
| 16:39.29 | xxiao | A10 does have SATA |
| 16:40.03 | xxiao | i hope they can have a A15(that is, after A10, and A13) that has no codec and i can buy at $2 a piece |
| 16:40.23 | traeak | yup, the a10 has sata but no gigabit or pci-e |
| 16:41.08 | traeak | and hopefully they don't cut out the sata |
| 16:42.27 | xxiao | look at powerpc 8308, it's 400Mhz cpu, but runs 2 gibabit ethernet and one pcie, and usb2/mmc/etc |
| 16:43.05 | xxiao | 1Ghz arm could not match that, the internal soc performance is still very lacking in ARM, if codec is not the major focus |
| 16:43.08 | traeak | anyone doing anything with it that's price competitive with x86 based solutions? |
| 16:43.29 | traeak | if the ppc8308 has altivec that would be nice |
| 16:43.42 | xxiao | traeak: quite some customers using that as far as i know |
| 16:44.09 | traeak | xxiao: consumer level ? |
| 16:45.02 | xxiao | yes, storage box, gateway,etc |
| 16:45.31 | xxiao | 1.3W, guaranteed for 10-year-long supply |
| 16:45.53 | xxiao | i would love to find ARM that can do the same without codec inside |
| 16:47.05 | Gumboot | What's this bit-rate comparison business?? |
| 16:47.35 | Gumboot | Look back at USB2 versus Firewire-400. USB2 has the higher headline figure, but Firewire has the higher transfer rates. |
| 16:47.57 | Gumboot | I think USB2 got something like half its headline, while Firewire got most of its headline. |
| 16:48.13 | Gumboot | That's before you get to software overheads. |
| 16:48.59 | Gumboot | USB2 is a screaming disaster for mass storage. I haven't looked at USB3, but my working assumption is that it's not going to be much better. |
| 16:49.38 | xxiao | Gumboot: i do use usb3, it's very cpu intensive |
| 16:49.55 | popolon | which documentation about allwinner A10 is the good and uptodate |
| 16:49.57 | Gumboot | I thought that might be the case. |

| 19:14.56 | dolapevich | well, some things have a place, and if you use it at their place, they work just ok. |
| 19:15.03 | dolapevich | Ftp was designed in the 80´s |
| 19:15.08 | jelly-home | specing: everyone knows that already. |
| 19:15.09 | dolapevich | just like rpc/nfs |
| 19:15.25 | dolapevich | and they do what they were designed for |
| 19:16.00 | specing | http://mywiki.wooledge.org/FtpMustDie |
| 19:16.18 | dolapevich | hey, hold on, I am the first to use ssh/scp/sftp |
| 19:16.25 | dolapevich | but at times, it is needed. |
| 19:16.36 | dolapevich | specially when performance is an issue. |
| 19:17.03 | jelly-home | because frankly, webdav is sillier |
| 19:17.32 | specing | I use NFS a lot |
| 19:17.40 | dolapevich | poiting ftp or webdav or sftp as an issue is like saying the bullet is the culprit. |
| 19:17.43 | dolapevich | They are tools. |
| 19:17.54 | specing | I am still looking at a proper clustered FS |
| 19:18.26 | dolapevich | Lustr or OCFS2 works. |
| 19:18.43 | dolapevich | I have used OCFS/OCFS2 with success.. |
| 19:18.50 | dolapevich | not on this devices :) |
| 19:20.13 | specing | I want a FS with built-in encryption and strong authentication |
| 19:20.40 | dolapevich | cryptoloop |
| 19:21.21 | dolapevich | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryptoloop |
| 19:21.28 | specing | dolapevich: DISTRIBUTED |
| 19:21.46 | specing | I already use DM-Crypt for local storage |
| 19:22.05 | dolapevich | andrewfs was a big hope on that sense, but was too complex. |
| 19:22.28 | dolapevich | anyway, using ocfs2 + some user lever encription should work. |
| 19:22.39 | dolapevich | I never did that through. |
| 19:22.45 | dolapevich | What are you planning to do? |
| 19:23.04 | specing | home network :) |
| 19:23.33 | dolapevich | :P |
| 19:25.14 | dolapevich | I was not aware but it looks OCFS2 supports transparent encription. |
| 19:25.16 | traeak | ftp is simple and fast |
| 19:25.41 | traeak | i use it now and then for bulk internal transfers |
| 19:26.15 | dolapevich | Indeed. anyway, the design principle was ok at the 80´s not now. Having two ports for data and control makes no sense now. Specially if the server must initiate a connectiong to the client :P |
| 19:27.02 | dolapevich | and many ftp daemons are so broken that they can´t do a 2 gigs ftp transfer. |
| 19:27.13 | dolapevich | but it is an option, indeed |
| 19:28.02 | traeak | answer to clustered filesystem security == subnet |
| 19:28.04 | traeak | heh |
| 19:28.40 | dolapevich | yes, or freeswan ipsec is an option too... |
| 19:28.48 | dolapevich | good luck with that anyway :P |
| 19:29.25 | traeak | i guess i've had too many bad experiences with condor clustering |
| 19:29.33 | traeak | which is itself truly a cluster something |
| 19:29.40 | dolapevich | never used that... |
| 19:30.10 | traeak | when i was forced to work with it there was no Q&D setup option |
| 19:30.23 | traeak | regardless of what you did you had to learn aobut and fully set up security policy |
| 19:30.41 | traeak | my take was that if i'm going to run a computational cluster i'm going to subnet it and handle security that way |
| 19:30.43 | Mazon | new dualcore media stick up on oval elephant: http://www.ovalelephant.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=2077 |
| 19:30.56 | Mazon | pre-order it seems |
| 19:31.04 | RaYmAn | is it the A5 one? |
| 19:31.12 | Mazon | rockchip 3066 |
| 19:31.46 | Mazon | probably have heat issues ... but has lots of holes in it :) |
| 19:32.00 | RaYmAn | cortex a9 they claim, hmm |
| 19:32.13 | Mazon | does rockchip provide the VPU lib or ? |
| 19:32.14 | dolapevich | traeak: condor looks very interesting... |
| 19:32.22 | dolapevich | and they do have a stable release as of now :) |
| 19:32.44 | traeak | it was a pain |
| 19:32.52 | traeak | our competitors deployed their software iwth condor |
| 19:33.08 | traeak | i think the biggest problem with that was they were clustering windows |
| 19:33.27 | furan | asking again since folks are around. if I wanted to do usb video capture, what is supposed right now for a10 linux? |
| 19:33.29 | dolapevich | well... that _is_ usually a problem :P |
| 19:33.52 | dolapevich | furan: is your camera recognized? |
| 19:33.55 | RaYmAn | furan: I must say, I have no idea what you are asking :P |
| 19:34.02 | traeak | furan: i asume the usb capture device does all the encoding? |
| 19:34.23 | traeak | ie: look for a usb device that has a builtin encoder chip |
| 19:34.34 | traeak | and if it has linux drivers then you are good to go |
| 19:34.36 | dolapevich | furan: please describe what you are trying to accomplish |
| 19:34.43 | RaYmAn | yeah - preferable one that outputs mpeg4 |
| 19:34.55 | furan | yeah. what I was thinking of is using an mk802 with usb capture to do upscaling from composite input to hdmi output with custom filters |
| 19:35.00 | furan | 2xsai etc |
| 19:35.09 | furan | I think it'd be a great use of the device |
| 19:35.24 | traeak | the DSP device isnt' working |
| 19:35.27 | RaYmAn | just don't expect latency to be sane |
| 19:36.15 | furan | yeah I was worried about that |
| 19:36.27 | furan | I have a project to do it in fpga, still working on it but I have output |
| 19:37.48 | RaYmAn | Anything that involves software will be slow (comparatively =P) |
| 19:39.55 | furan | sure |

| 20:24.36 | j1nx | a little bit more expensive, but not much |
| 20:24.42 | xxiao | kernel code is really just the first step, need all the pieces, and not sure if AML even talks to other players when you want to deal with codec related stuff |
| 20:25.14 | xxiao | do they have datasheet, even schematic etc... |
| 20:25.22 | j1nx | you can use AMplayer which talks to the in-kernel VPU driver |
| 20:26.01 | j1nx | Utilizing AMplayer it can even play uncompressed VC-1 BD without breaking a sweat |
| 20:27.11 | j1nx | something different. I have a sample of that rockchip comming my way next monday. Anybody know Rockchip their standpoint about sources? |
| 20:27.25 | xxiao | very closed |
| 20:27.48 | xxiao | i was told their leading engineer is ignorant about open source comparing to allwinner, from one single source though |
| 20:28.00 | j1nx | that's what I thought |
| 20:28.05 | xxiao | can't verify that, and it appears to be correct as i hardly can find any RK code |
| 20:28.49 | j1nx | Indeed hard to find any code released by them. Can't find any info about their VPU as well |

| 21:17.08 | Turl | Marex: it's not like it was 400K slower though |

| 22:23.24 | dolapevich | Turl: thanks, and sorry, I was AFK. |
| 22:23.51 | dolapevich | I can try to use nfs, but the SFU thing for windows is far from stable. |
| 22:24.08 | dolapevich | in fact, I don´t know if there is such a thing anymore. |
| 22:24.26 | dolapevich | as usual, windows becomes the minimum common denominator :P |
| 22:24.35 | dolapevich | divisor, I mean |
| 22:25.10 | Turl | ah, so you need windows support |
| 22:25.27 | Turl | sftp was 'decent' when compared with smb |
| 22:25.36 | Turl | the encryption killed most of the throughput though |
| 22:25.44 | dolapevich | But I don´t want to transfer files |
| 22:25.52 | dolapevich | but mount a shared drive |
| 22:26.11 | dolapevich | yeah, SFU stil exists.. |
| 22:26.13 | dolapevich | http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=274 |
| 22:26.20 | Turl | is too used to *nix and the fact that sftp, ftp etc can be mounted :P |
| 22:26.24 | dolapevich | might be an option |
| 22:26.31 | dolapevich | sshfs, right. |
| 22:26.55 | Turl | webdav? haven't tried |
| 22:27.22 | dolapevich | I am not so familiar with it, but as far as I know it allows retrival of complete files. |
| 22:27.39 | dolapevich | in fact ,what I want is to put this a10 to server videos on the network. |
| 22:27.53 | Turl | DLNA server? |
| 22:28.01 | dolapevich | it is running mpd, and has a 2 terabyte usb attached. |
| 22:28.02 | lundman | you want llink |
| 22:28.25 | dolapevich | I installed dlns but still not very sure they are the same thing.. |
| 22:28.36 | dolapevich | I can stream videos to vlc, and see pictures... |
| 22:28.43 | dolapevich | what about the books? :) |
| 22:29.09 | dolapevich | Anyway, I might keep dlna and use smb |
| 22:29.12 | lundman | on the NMTs, llink is fasterthan NFS, is faster than SMB:) |
| 22:29.16 | dolapevich | for books and some other things. |
| 22:29.20 | Turl | I use it for about the same |
| 22:29.22 | Turl | run mpd too |
| 22:29.25 | Turl | 1T over usb |
| 22:29.26 | dolapevich | LLink? |
| 22:29.32 | Turl | nope, nfs |
| 22:29.36 | lundman | just upnp server |
| 22:29.52 | Turl | but yeah if you want multimedia, use some upnp/dlna server |
| 22:29.59 | dolapevich | lundman: oh, minidlna works as upnp server too. |
| 22:30.11 | lundman | sure, but its not llink :) |
| 22:30.22 | dolapevich | is llink something better? |
| 22:30.31 | lundman | I think it's the best! |
| 22:30.34 | Turl | the first l stands for lundman I'm guessing |
| 22:30.35 | Turl | ;) |
| 22:30.41 | lundman | alsok, it streams from rars :) |
| 22:30.54 | dolapevich | now _that´s_ something I am interested.. |
| 22:31.05 | dolapevich | I got used to foobar on windows |
| 22:31.10 | dolapevich | that is able to open zip and rar |
| 22:31.14 | dolapevich | to play music |
| 22:31.46 | lundman | and it runs on almost everything, compiled for most NAS types etc |
| 22:32.00 | dolapevich | mmm not on debian, let´s see the web |
| 22:32.23 | dolapevich | lundman: lundman.net ? :) |
| 22:32.25 | lundman | debian is justlinux, for grab x86 or x64 |
| 22:32.30 | lundman | lundman.net :) |
| 22:32.32 | dolapevich | is it your development? |
| 22:32.38 | lundman | woooo |
| 22:32.47 | lundman | open source, full sources there for you :) |
| 22:33.20 | dolapevich | well, in this case it is armhf :P |
| 22:33.31 | dolapevich | will need to crosscompile |
| 22:33.46 | lundman | heh ah :) I cross compiled for several arm |
| 22:33.52 | lundman | but not sureif armhf sp@ecifically |
| 22:34.00 | dolapevich | I see an arm here |
| 22:34.05 | dolapevich | for the buffalo |
| 22:34.36 | dolapevich | but it looks like the correct project to understand how to cross compile instead of copying recipes from the net :P |
| 22:35.18 | lundman | one of the synology builds ran on mele |
| 22:36.00 | dolapevich | synology? |
| 22:36.08 | lundman | arm nas |
| 22:36.49 | dolapevich | oh.. |
| 22:37.48 | dolapevich | same as qnap it says.. |
| 22:38.06 | dolapevich | downloading.. |
| 22:38.12 | lundman | cross compile is something like ./configure --host=mipsel-linux-uclibc --enable-static |
| 22:38.18 | lundman | ah qnap |
| 22:38.55 | dolapevich | Right, when your environment is configured, and all tools for the target architecture are installed |
| 22:39.31 | dolapevich | but I am still unsure as of which tools are needed and such |
| 22:39.57 | dolapevich | anyway, thanks for the pointers, |
| 22:40.08 | dolapevich | will try this and report :) |
| 22:49.00 | lundman | pretty muchy llink.conf, change ROOT to point to media, then ./llink |
| 23:47.48 | lundman | ok, new day. any files from allwinner today? |
