| 10:00.37 | oliv3r | anybody want int? jinzo? :p |
| 10:00.46 | lundman | huh, I've all but abandonned a10 |
| 10:01.02 | lundman | i was going to get a pivos, but they wouldnt sell overseas :) |
| 10:01.16 | oliv3r | i'm in NL, bought one before getting into the A10 |
| 10:01.46 | oliv3r | so now i have a pivos, but not doing anything with it |
| 10:02.12 | oliv3r | checking the pivos github page, hardly any forks, very little development, community around the amlogic seems non-existant |
| 10:02.14 | lundman | yeah but a10 is a deadend :) |
| 10:02.15 | oliv3r | so why bother? |
| 10:02.22 | oliv3r | lundman: how so? |
| 10:02.38 | oliv3r | linux-sunxi.org/XBMC gives hope? |
| 10:02.55 | mysteryname | yes.. Hope :D |
| 10:03.09 | oliv3r | mysteryname: do i smell some sarcasm there? :) |
| 10:03.26 | mysteryname | yes a little however I'm rather invested in the a10s |
| 10:03.47 | mysteryname | I have two sitting on my table and all of this is over my head so I'm following what I can |
| 10:03.50 | oliv3r | so how is hope bad? |
| 10:04.43 | mysteryname | sorry, hope is not bad. I fear it's not enough :P |
| 10:04.57 | lundman | yeah I think it could just-about-almost be amedialpayer |
| 10:04.59 | oliv3r | mysteryname: what else would be needed you think? |
| 10:05.06 | lundman | but it will never be enough |
| 10:05.09 | oliv3r | lundman: why not? |
| 10:05.22 | lundman | so, personally, I'm looking at teh duals or quads, not that they are out |
| 10:05.48 | mysteryname | oliver3: I think if it makes a breakthrough for the hardware acceleration, it will ignite. |
| 10:06.06 | oliv3r | so your complaint is libcedarx driver support |
| 10:06.24 | mysteryname | lundman: I think it can do it and it can when using android. but I want linux so I can have more power over it. |
| 10:06.31 | oliv3r | lundman: well lets assume the a40 will be available in an mele a4000 in a year or so |
| 10:06.36 | oliv3r | a lot of work done here will still be relevant |
| 10:06.50 | lundman | oli: yes, definitely. I said I gave up on A10, not allwinner |
| 10:07.06 | mysteryname | oliv3r: agreed. |
| 10:07.18 | lundman | for me, to be a media player, it needs to be 1080p, and do more than stereo. but a10, everything is geared towards ICS |
| 10:07.43 | lundman | mystery: I'm hoping for android, in that, maaayybee google can do a good itunes replacement, ie, get tv and movies from play |
| 10:07.55 | lundman | then to have a legal solution finally would be nice |
| 10:07.56 | mysteryname | It can do that in ICS right? |
| 10:08.13 | Turl | lundman: google already does that with play :P you can buy movies and music and books |
| 10:08.18 | mnemoc | google play rents (overpriced) movies and mosuic in mose countries |
| 10:08.27 | lundman | turl: alas, only for some areas |
| 10:08.38 | mysteryname | indeed. |
| 10:08.41 | oliv3r | lundman: stereo is fine for me |
| 10:08.45 | lundman | it shouldnt matter one bit where I live, if I am willing to pay |
| 10:08.55 | Turl | lundman: go tell that to copyright owners |
| 10:09.01 | oliv3r | 1080p it should do more then easily (it does quad HD iirc) so 1080p stereo = fine :) |
| 10:09.08 | oliv3r | doesn't it do dolby passthrough however? |
| 10:09.11 | Turl | lundman: you alternatively can use a VPN to USA and buy still |
| 10:09.13 | lundman | oliver: then if quality doesnt matter, you might be happy with A10. half the framerate, steam poewr |
| 10:09.14 | mysteryname | lundman: for sure. |
| 10:09.45 | lundman | turl: its an exercise in getting shit legally, so to illegally gain access to the shop would defeat the purpose |
| 10:09.51 | mnemoc | lundman: it's mostly due to the contracts each copyright owner has with distributors on each country |
| 10:09.51 | lundman | I am already the biggest pirate in asia |
| 10:09.53 | mysteryname | Turl: sometimes credit card numbers can be country orientated, I tried to buy in the US once and It knew I had a AUS card. |
| 10:09.57 | lundman | lies |
| 10:10.19 | lundman | mnemoc: oh i know why it is, it is almost very out dates and stupid |
| 10:10.32 | lundman | and I understand trhey dont want to change what they are already making millions on |
| 10:10.53 | mysteryname | lundman: if too many companies resist change it'll bit them hard. |
| 10:11.30 | mysteryname | lundman: look at dymocks (I don't know how it;s spelt) they resisted change and went from the biggest book store to bankrupt. |
| 10:11.33 | lundman | we've gone through a decade of "piracy is the root of all evil" but now we are finally changing, itunes, amazon video, yahoo video, google video.. just needs to get ridof region blocking :) |
| 10:12.04 | Turl | and DRM |
| 10:12.05 | mysteryname | agreed. Mega upload had something ground breaking going till the FBI rocked up and stole everything |
| 10:12.23 | lundman | the worst is itunes japan "oh hi, we have jpop!" "what about tv?" "jpop!" "ok, movies?" "sure, dubbed!" |
| 10:12.47 | mnemoc | google play only has dubbed movies here in spain :< |
| 10:12.53 | oliv3r | half the framerate? you say it DOES do quadHD video decoding, but only at 15FPS? then full hd should be fine @ 30fps. if it does 15fps at fullHD, what are those 4k HD claims then? 5FPS? |
| 10:13.40 | lundman | o9li: last test I did, on ahh beta3, it could not play bluray TS at more than 12fps, it could do "scene standard 1080p" most of the time, but had frame drops |
| 10:13.55 | lundman | 1080p 4frames and less was ok, 720p was ok |
| 10:14.23 | lundman | very far from acceptable, if you actually care about entertainment |
| 10:14.26 | oliv3r | lundman: but passthrough surround? does it do that? |
| 10:14.35 | lundman | no, ICS only does 2ch |
| 10:14.42 | lundman | everything is decoded to stereo |
| 10:14.43 | oliv3r | nono, native xbmc i'm talking |

| 10:42.36 | oliv3r | sspiff: i run JB on my A10 tablet and little/no issues |
| 10:42.58 | oliv3r | (it sometimes doesn't sleep when i turn the display off, thus draining the battery to fast, could be an app causing that of course) |
| 10:43.28 | sspiff | oliv3r: hmmm, interesting, are there any play by play instructions to get that running? |
| 10:43.34 | oliv3r | and it sometimes doesn't wake (battery usage just says from full to null, could also be battery related) |
| 10:43.41 | oliv3r | for my specific tablet? yes :) |
| 10:43.44 | sspiff | Turl: how do I make or get such an image? |
| 10:43.59 | sspiff | oliv3r: which tablet is that? |

| 12:32.03 | [trip] | mnemoc: very cool. i just got my mele a1000 in, and i wanted to start helping dev on it. |
| 12:32.18 | [trip] | it's got a great set of hardware, it just needs the proper software to go with it now =) |
| 12:32.30 | mnemoc | :) |

| 12:33.31 | [trip] | I've read everything I could find on the state of the graphics drivers, but I wasn't able to pin anything solid down on where everything is at. |
| 12:33.36 | mnemoc | lima is alternative to mali closed userspace, and not ready to replace it yet |
| 12:33.48 | mnemoc | cedarx is video decoding |
| 12:33.54 | [trip] | I do know that my mele cuts off part of the screen when in VGA mode. It's off center. |
| 12:34.00 | [trip] | That makes more sense. |
| 12:34.14 | [trip] | CederX is a closed blob too I take it then? |
| 12:34.33 | mnemoc | http://dl.linux-sunxi.org/amery/stage-3.0/latest/ includes mali and cedarx armhf libs |
| 12:34.48 | mnemoc | yes, a closed .so |
| 12:35.06 | lundman | yes yes, whereis my JB binary download, and aarmhf xbmc :) |
| 12:35.17 | [trip] | I wish I'd have found this # last week. it would have saved me a lot of researching time, lol |
| 12:36.10 | [trip] | XBMC is running on the Android 4.0 roms. Running, but not well. |

| 12:38.36 | [trip] | mnemoc: what are you using as your build platform? |
| 12:38.51 | mnemoc | ubuntu 12.04/64 |
| 12:39.35 | [trip] | I've got mint on my current build machine, but ubuntu on my server. That should work. |
| 12:40.06 | [trip] | mnemoc: are there still HDMI builds for the Mele? |
| 12:40.09 | mnemoc | the neat thing with ubuntu 12.04 is that sf and hf toolchains are just an apt-get install away |
| 12:40.32 | mnemoc | [trip]: eh? |
| 12:40.56 | jinzo | mnemoc, the linaro ones I presume? |
| 12:41.06 | [trip] | mnemoc: Sorry, I meant VGA builds for the Mele. |
| 12:41.17 | mnemoc | the default output is set on script.bin |
| 12:41.21 | mnemoc | jinzo: yes |
| 12:41.34 | [trip] | mnemoc: gotcha. |
| 12:42.13 | [trip] | I'm sure I'll be pestering the # with more questions soon, so I'll apologize in advance. |
| 12:42.31 | mnemoc | :) |
| 12:42.46 | [trip] | Once I get everything setup, I'll hopefully get some time in the evenings to hack on the core, and hopefully some of the drivers. |
| 12:43.00 | mnemoc | nice |
| 12:43.05 | mnemoc | help is always welcomed |
| 12:43.07 | [trip] | I know nothing about the Mali architecture, but there's always room to learn something new. |
| 12:43.12 | stefanro | mnemoc: regarding the "sunxi" board name output in u-boot |
| 12:43.39 | stefanro | mnemoc: this is because of the board code consolidation i started a few days ago (never tested on real hw) |
| 12:43.45 | [trip] | And just randomly, have there been any theories on why the VGA output is off center on the Mele? |
| 12:44.05 | stefanro | mnemoc: and hno consolidated a bit more (most likely a bit too much ;)) |
| 12:44.11 | mnemoc | stefanro: :) |
| 12:47.11 | [trip] | mnemoc: are the documents on cnx still the best set of instructions for getting a working sd card with ubuntu working on it? |
| 12:47.18 | mnemoc | [trip]: i had no idea mele's vga output was off center |
| 12:47.56 | libv | once that heap of ... roses. is clean, it will do free modes |
| 12:48.22 | [trip] | Maybe it's just mine. At 720p there's about a half inch of screen missing to the left, at 1024x768 there's about an inch, and at 800x600 it's actually off center to the right about an inch. Go figure. |

| 12:50.25 | [trip] | libv: interesting. i've only got it running android 4.0 right now, so it's a slight annoyance. I'm going to test it on my projector, an old monitor, and an old TV over the component out to see if I can get a stable resolution on one of them. |
| 12:50.53 | [trip] | mnemoc: just clone it, build, and then follow the old instructions to setup an SD card? |
| 12:50.53 | mnemoc | [trip]: android 4.0 with open or gpl-violating kernel? |
| 12:51.21 | mnemoc | [trip]: yes |
| 12:51.31 | [trip] | mnemoc: not sure, my mele was flashed with 4.0 on it already. it's got a bunch of chinese stuff that I can't read, so I'd go with GPL violating (sadly). |
| 12:51.33 | mnemoc | or use the hwpack from http://dl.linux-sunxi.org/amery/stage-3.0/latest/ |
| 12:53.54 | [trip] | mnemoc: is there an open build of android for the mele that you'd suggest? |
| 12:54.12 | jinzo | only do it yourself probably :D |
| 12:54.28 | mnemoc | [trip]: we have `make android` in the bsp.... but it hasn't got mele specific stuff yet |
| 12:56.22 | mnemoc | stefanro: what's the reason to force soft-float? hf works just fine here |
| 12:56.42 | mnemoc | and it's annoying to need two toolchains :| |
| 12:57.01 | stefanro | mnemoc: you are referring to u-boot? |

| 12:57.51 | stefanro | mnemoc: u-boot is not using floating point at all |
| 12:58.21 | mnemoc | stefanro: then why -msoft-float in arch/arm/cpu/armv7/config.mk ? |
| 12:58.52 | mnemoc | stefanro: it's pretty annoying |
| 12:59.09 | mnemoc | everyone is patching it away.... but that is a maintainance problem |
| 12:59.10 | stefanro | mnemoc: not sure - you might want to ask on the u-boot list |
| 12:59.22 | stefanro | mnemoc: why is it annoying? |
| 12:59.46 | mnemoc | because linaro's hf toolchain doesn't like it |

| 15:14.01 | drachensun | well it was working |
| 15:14.36 | drachensun | I think I figure out the October 8th or so commits work |
| 15:14.51 | drachensun | and something after that killed it for me |
| 15:15.21 | drachensun | I have figured out I can use an old module with a new kernel to run xbmc without losing TS |
| 15:15.41 | drachensun | like I said, I'm going to go through and sort it out in the next few days here |
| 15:15.52 | drachensun | I want to finally fix the multitouch issue too |
| 15:16.06 | drachensun | I've got plasma active working so having multitouch might actually be really useful now |
| 15:16.15 | wingrime | are you figured problem with linux-sunxi driver ? |
| 15:17.17 | drachensun | it almost has to be in ft5x_ts.c or .h, those are the only files that go into the module, I think |
| 15:17.28 | wingrime | drachensun: it was worked with old linux-sunhi ? |
| 15:17.43 | drachensun | because like I say, moving an old module to a new kernel works too |
| 15:17.55 | drachensun | like me find the commit I'm sure it works with |
| 15:18.24 | wingrime | it may be somthing not in linux-sunhi code |
| 15:18.37 | drachensun | aa3a46efaaac7a52197140cf16fbbcc768cf2110 |
| 15:18.59 | drachensun | that is in the stable branch from october8th, its working then |

| 15:19.36 | slapin | hi, all! |
| 15:19.40 | mnemoc | slapin! |
| 15:19.51 | mnemoc | slapin: I've been waiting for you |
| 15:19.57 | wingrime | I figured problems with IDA and now I fixed it for me (power port fix not in linux-sunhi) |
| 15:20.08 | slapin | have anybody seen these amlogic sticks http://ossfans.org/amlogic/ ? |
| 15:20.24 | slapin | mnemoc: hi |
| 15:20.29 | drachensun | power port fix |
| 15:20.36 | drachensun | I'm not sure what they does |
| 15:20.52 | mnemoc | slapin: are you still interested in doing the mtd nand driver for sunxi? |
| 15:21.03 | oliv3r | amlogic? oss in one sentence? |
| 15:21.10 | slapin | mnemoc: yeah, sure |
| 15:21.23 | wingrime | drachensun:I have power port field in my FEX that constain GPIO pin that enable power to TS |
| 15:21.35 | slapin | oliv3r: they released kernel and u-boot as allwinner and rockchip |
| 15:21.48 | oliv3r | slapin: but no VPU details? |
| 15:22.02 | wingrime | drachensunif GPIO state logical "0" ts powered off |
| 15:22.26 | oliv3r | slapin: amlogic doesn't have a usefull gitrepo, and their only link to the outside world, pivos, doesn't have much changes/community support imo |
| 15:22.27 | slapin | oliv3r: I don't know any details yet, they've just arrived, were ordered by accident. |
| 15:22.36 | mnemoc | slapin: the thing is we need to be able to extract the first raw blocks for the nand where boot0/boot1 lives |
| 15:22.47 | wingrime | drachensun:without this TS5x not answered over I2C |
| 15:23.04 | slapin | oliv3r: openlinux.amlogic.com, no? |
| 15:23.06 | oliv3r | mnemoc: if anything documentation wise would help in that regard, point me to the next section to do after the CCM :) |
| 15:23.06 | mnemoc | slapin: and maybe you could do your experiments to understand the nand controller with a baremetal tool + fel |
| 15:23.36 | slapin | mnemoc: I think so |
| 15:23.38 | oliv3r | slapin: last time i checked, openlinux wasn't that usefull |
| 15:23.49 | oliv3r | doesn't compare to linux-sunxi :) |
| 15:23.53 | drachensun | wingrime: I see, makes sense I guess, now mine is showing an error that it is not responding. Our devices are some how opposites |
| 15:23.54 | mnemoc | oliv3r: the only documentation we have about the nand controller is in the code |
| 15:24.06 | oliv3r | mnemoc: bleh |
| 15:24.09 | drachensun | wingrime: Of course it might just be mine needed a different pin and now its lost power |
| 15:24.20 | mnemoc | slapin: so.... can you help us with that? :) |
| 15:24.47 | wingrime | drachensun: best way to figure out what wrong - take a look with IDa |
| 15:25.07 | wingrime | drachensun: are you worked with IDA ? |
| 15:25.24 | mnemoc | slapin: sunxi-tools has a couple of other fel-able apps |
| 15:26.39 | drachensun | wingrime: I haven't, but I figured since mine did work before I just have to figure out what changed and then once I am sure which change was critical I will try to find a way to make both our devices happy |
| 15:26.52 | *** join/#arm-netbook avernos (~avernos@unaffiliated/avernos) |
| 15:26.52 | slapin | mnemoc: of course, but I still don't understand what I have to do. I have u-boot source I play with, with some weird stuff |
| 15:28.00 | slapin | mnemoc: ? |
| 15:28.13 | slapin | mnemoc: any details? |
| 15:28.16 | wingrime | drachensun: I can take a quck look for you problem but I need ft5x_ts.so - working binary |
| 15:28.53 | mnemoc | slapin: initialize the dram controller, and the copy the first blocks of the nand to a memory address from where we can read it :) |
| 15:29.14 | slapin | mnemoc: what is fel, and what baremetal tool? |
| 15:29.29 | mnemoc | slapin: get the sunxi-tools repo |
| 15:29.42 | mnemoc | slapin: fel is a usb recovery mode in a1x's brom |
| 15:29.43 | drachensun | wingrime: Are all your changes committed? it looks like most of the changes likely to cause my problem are actually related to the A13-SDK commit |
| 15:29.43 | wingrime | drachecnsun:I can compare linux-sunxi driver code with assebler equvalent with vendor changes |
| 15:29.59 | mnemoc | slapin: you can write memory, read memory, and call memory |
| 15:30.17 | mnemoc | slapin: it's used by their flashing too |
| 15:30.18 | drachensun | wingrime: Oh, I get you, yeah let me post the driver somewhere |
| 15:31.02 | mnemoc | slapin: this runs very early, only sram and usb is initialized at that point |
| 15:31.16 | wingrime | drachensun: mostly you not find solution in commits, it can be some vendor driver fix |
| 15:32.02 | slapin | mnemoc: so fel can read NAND in raw? |
| 15:32.23 | mnemoc | slapin: no. fel lets you upload a baremetal app |
| 15:32.50 | slapin | mnemoc: doesn't u-boot environment is more friendly with this? |
| 15:33.10 | slapin | mnemoc: which baremetal app? |
| 15:33.24 | mnemoc | slapin: the one you are writting to experiment with the nand controller :) |
| 15:33.41 | WarheadsSE | Turl: I might be able to to get to that friday/monday\ |
| 15:33.53 | mnemoc | slapin: we need a fel-based app so users can extract boot0/boot1 from their devices without a serial console |
| 15:34.07 | mnemoc | slapin: and later to be able to replace boot0/boot1 with our spl |
| 15:34.31 | mnemoc | slapin: but the boot1 is the only reliable source for dram initialization data |
| 15:34.34 | wingrime | mnemoc: I too intresed in dump/write tool like livesuit |
| 15:34.36 | oliv3r | PLL5 up on the wiki :) |
| 15:34.37 | oliv3r | hometime |
| 15:34.46 | mnemoc | oliv3r: thanks! |
| 15:35.17 | mnemoc | wingrime: livesuit pushes pre-made apps to do the job |
| 15:36.23 | slapin | mnemoc: I use u-boot in my work. I usually hate to write big ARM CPU init stuff, especially without documentation :-E~~~ |
| 15:36.28 | wingrime | mnemoc: can it tools be pushen manualy from your fel tools? |
| 15:37.08 | slapin | mnemoc: serial console is easier :) |
| 15:37.33 | mnemoc | slapin: most devices and most people can't get a serial console |
| 15:37.53 | RaYmAn | mnemoc: the fun part will be that if you do it through fel, you need to either fit the driver in SRAM or initialize ram :P |
| 15:38.03 | libv | slapin: i just got a hyundai |
| 15:38.10 | slapin | and still, I don't quite understanf NFC inner workings to meka bare-bone app to read NAND. |
| 15:38.23 | mnemoc | RaYmAn: it should fit in sram.... |
| 15:38.52 | libv | slapin: so i will get the lcd working |
| 15:38.57 | mnemoc | slapin: that's the fun part ;-) while you get this tool working you learn about the nand controller ;-) |
| 15:39.28 | slapin | serial console is just to solder 3 wires, and you think writing such an application is easier? |
| 15:39.39 | mnemoc | RaYmAn: "driver" wise, we only need raw access at this point |
| 15:40.11 | drachensun | wingrime: I sent you a pm with the link |
| 15:40.24 | RaYmAn | mnemoc: sure, it's just important to be aware of :) |
| 15:40.46 | mnemoc | slapin: soldering 3 wires on every allwinner-based device we want to set free is... hard |
| 15:40.53 | slapin | mnemoc: I think direct approach might get better experience; u-boot is scriptable and can be loaded with AllWinner's own strange boot loader, and scripts can dump whatever you want to uSD. and no bare-bone apps... |
| 15:41.11 | *** join/#arm-netbook t0dbld (~t0dbld@unaffiliated/t0dbld) |
| 15:41.44 | wingrime | slapin:UART much easier to debug than lcd |
| 15:42.05 | slapin | libv: it is so great! |
| 15:42.39 | wingrime | slapin:it easiest interface ever and universal over different tablets lcd |
| 15:43.24 | slapin | wingrime: somebody with serial console can script everything for poor guys without serial |
| 15:44.40 | slapin | discovered loots of junk food and harvesting |
| 15:44.43 | mnemoc | slapin: making a card with a uboot that boots from mmc and can also read raw nand will work too, obviusly |
| 15:44.57 | wingrime | slapin:is it big deal to use mmc pin? |
| 15:45.02 | RaYmAn | mnemoc: not really |
| 15:45.10 | RaYmAn | unless it's in the u-boot SPL |
| 15:45.11 | RaYmAn | :P |
| 15:45.24 | mnemoc | RaYmAn: very good point! |
| 15:45.34 | mnemoc | slapin: -----& |
| 15:45.46 | RaYmAn | and we really can't expect people to just randomly swap out files on nanda to get it dumped :/ |
| 15:45.58 | mnemoc | slapin: -----^ |
| 15:45.59 | RaYmAn | (because then they have to livesuite or *chicken-egg problem* boot from sd to fix it) |
| 15:46.15 | slapin | AW A10 does have quitel large SRAM, doesn't it? |
| 15:46.34 | mnemoc | 32k |
| 15:47.01 | RaYmAn | if we only need to dump boot0, we only need to read one block, don't we? |
| 15:47.23 | mnemoc | with need both |
| 15:47.37 | mnemoc | but boot0 is a good start |
| 15:47.53 | mnemoc | fel fel fel fel |
| 15:47.54 | mnemoc | :) |
| 15:47.56 | RaYmAn | I wonder if there is a way to initialize the ram at some safe frequency and safe settings such that they'll at least work? |
| 15:48.00 | slapin | so current SPL will do as barebone app, doesn't it? |
| 15:48.09 | mnemoc | yes |
| 15:48.29 | *** join/#arm-netbook fredy (~fredy@147.102.32.34) |
| 15:48.35 | mnemoc | but it needs to know how to initialize the dram, and we only know for certain devices |
| 15:49.00 | mnemoc | but you can steal the arm initialization stuff from there |
| 15:49.19 | slapin | mnemoc: and will very slow default work? |
| 15:49.27 | mnemoc | sure |
| 15:50.22 | mnemoc | it's a very small piece of nand :) |
| 15:51.03 | slapin | and what fel will do then? |
| 15:51.14 | mnemoc | fel is a protocol |
| 15:51.23 | mnemoc | to transfer stuff via usb |
| 15:51.30 | slapin | so how rill you use fel then then? |
| 15:51.41 | slapin | s/rill/will/ |
| 15:51.49 | mnemoc | you press some keys when powering up the device |
| 15:52.11 | mnemoc | connect the otg to your computer, and you'll see a usb device without name |
| 15:52.28 | slapin | mnemoc: this is not what I ask |
| 15:52.53 | mnemoc | slapin: then, please rephrase :) |
| 15:52.54 | slapin | mnemoc: You got hypothetical bare-bones app running, what then? |
| 15:53.24 | slapin | mnemoc: how to extract acquired data? |
| 15:53.37 | mnemoc | using fel again, from sram |
| 15:54.02 | mnemoc | then gets parsed and turned into something u-boot can use (binary header or something) |
| 15:55.00 | slapin | mnemoc: so bare-bone app needs to put these data into SRAM, then somehow give back control to fel? |
| 15:55.18 | mnemoc | yes |
| 15:55.29 | slapin | mnemoc: then how? |
| 15:56.37 | mnemoc | look at https://github.com/linux-sunxi/sunxi-tools/blob/master/fel-gpio |
| 15:57.46 | mnemoc | afaik it doesn't need to "give back control"... simply die |
| 15:58.08 | wingrime | drachensun:are you still here? |
| 15:59.02 | drachensun | back |
| 16:01.00 | slapin | mnemoc: ok, will see what happens... |
| 16:02.00 | mnemoc | \o/ |
| 16:02.28 | mnemoc | in the worst case you should be able to start fel again, calling 0xffff0020 |
| 16:03.30 | RaYmAn | mnemoc: no, it has to do "regular c thing" to return control. (which means branch to return address). If you do it as a single c file with a function that just ends, you're good. :) |
| 16:03.47 | RaYmAn | fel also sets up a c stack for you, so :) |
| 16:03.56 | mnemoc | how kind of it :) |
| 16:06.59 | slapin | well, can't start fel on my a10 stick, what exactly should be done to do so? |
| 16:07.29 | mnemoc | you need to start your device in fel mode, just like for using livesuit |
| 16:07.36 | mnemoc | it's very device specific |
| 16:07.44 | mnemoc | another option is to use a fel card |
| 16:08.16 | mnemoc | https://github.com/linux-sunxi/sunxi-tools/blob/master/fel-boot.c |
| 16:08.27 | slapin | my stick does have only one button |
| 16:08.39 | mnemoc | that will make a uSD card boot directly into fel mode |
| 16:09.00 | mnemoc | sometimes pressing the button a bunch of times triggers it |
| 16:09.18 | mnemoc | look for intructions about using livesuit to reflash your stick |
| 16:13.10 | slapin | mnemoc: no such instructions included, need to find some common route... |
| 16:13.33 | mnemoc | a fel card will do |
| 16:13.57 | slapin | mnemoc: too easy route for me |
| 16:14.03 | mnemoc | :D |
| 16:14.24 | slapin | ok, afk for a few hours |
| 16:14.35 | mnemoc | cu |
| 16:21.14 | stefanro | mnemoc: i finally got my ttl-usb adapter and would like to start testing u-boot on cubieboard |
| 16:21.37 | stefanro | mnemoc: wasn't there a wiki page to describe how to put u-boot on the device (mmc)? |
| 16:22.02 | mnemoc | https://github.com/linux-sunxi/u-boot-sunxi/wiki |
| 16:22.29 | mnemoc | btw, uint64_t blkid = (file->offset + red) / blksz; is the offending line in zfs |
| 16:22.50 | stefanro | thx - i will try it later (dinner time) |
| 16:22.59 | stefanro | mnemoc: yep, division is evil!!! |
| 16:23.18 | mnemoc | stefanro: we also have a friendly "bsp"-wannabe and premade hwpacks.... but you probably don't want to go the luser way ;-) |
| 16:23.58 | mnemoc | stefanro: so that needs to be turned into a shift? |
| 16:24.14 | stefanro | mnemoc: isn't there a do_div or something like this? |
| 16:24.29 | mnemoc | don't know :) ... grepping |
| 16:24.51 | stefanro | mnemoc: have to leave for now |
| 16:24.54 | stefanro | mnemoc: bbl |
| 16:24.57 | mnemoc | cu :) |
| 16:25.43 | libv | slapin: what uboot config are you running on the hyundai? |
| 16:26.25 | mnemoc | libv: fexc (from sunxi-tools) can generate a dram.c for you |
| 16:26.46 | mnemoc | from script.bin |

| 18:36.41 | mnemoc | :< |
| 18:37.12 | Turl | device trees are pretty much make once, use wherever you feel like, these compatibility "hwpacks" have random binaries and kernel modules you need to build from somewhere (ie you'd still need the device tree) |
| 18:37.42 | Turl | and you'd need to remake all the compatibility patches every time there's a kernel update or abi change |
| 18:38.37 | Turl | and besides you cannot change android overlayable configs with these (including random jars and apks would be even more of a maint. nightmare) |

| 22:35.35 | mnemoc | too fancy? |
| 22:35.43 | hno | what is overlapping? |
| 22:35.58 | Marex | ugh |
| 22:36.01 | Marex | what are you trying to do ? |
| 22:36.02 | hno | ? |
| 22:36.13 | mnemoc | a recursive cp to a dir where the wanted subdir already exists |
| 22:36.29 | hno | that works. |
| 22:36.30 | mnemoc | to install overlays |
| 22:37.01 | mnemoc | if `cp -r` does the job, let's use that then |
| 22:37.20 | mnemoc | i had bad memories about it, but might be something else |
| 22:37.48 | Marex | cp -Rp you mean ? |
| 22:37.55 | Marex | or cp -Rfp |
| 22:37.59 | Marex | (preserve permissions) |
| 22:38.04 | Marex | ev. force |
| 22:38.23 | mnemoc | the original script used `cp -rf` |
| 22:39.14 | hno | the shell often have aliases cp to add -i flag by default which confuses a bit. But not in scripts. -p should be there. |
| 22:39.33 | Marex | ugh ... alias for cp -i ? |
| 22:39.36 | Marex | that's so wrong |
| 22:40.19 | mnemoc | luser protection |
| 22:40.37 | mnemoc | pretty stupid |
| 22:42.41 | hno | same often done for rm |
| 22:43.01 | Marex | hno: yea ... it's pretty sad :-( |
| 22:43.01 | mnemoc | i've seen rm aliased to mv :< |
| 22:43.09 | Marex | hno: rm -rf / was always such a fun |
| 22:43.18 | hno | Still is |
| 22:43.27 | Marex | mnemoc: I've seen (done) all commands aliased to rm -rf / :D |
| 22:43.40 | Marex | hno: nay ... booboontu won't let you anymore |
| 22:43.44 | mnemoc | :) |
| 22:43.47 | hno | only needs to be done from a script now. |
| 22:43.57 | mnemoc | hno: hno/sunxi-current boots :) |
| 22:44.00 | hno | and the -f overrides -i |
| 22:44.40 | mnemoc | so `tar | tar` is considered evil, right? |
| 22:45.02 | hno | unneccesary obfuiscation of what is done. |
| 22:45.20 | mnemoc | `ssh tar | tar` is pretty handy :p |
| 22:45.35 | mnemoc | and faster than rsync |
| 22:45.41 | hno | scp -r? |
| 22:45.54 | mnemoc | works backward? |
| 22:46.02 | hno | what is backward? |
| 22:46.09 | mnemoc | from the server to you |
| 22:46.12 | hno | yes. |
| 22:46.14 | mnemoc | nice |
| 22:46.17 | lundman | rsync |
| 22:46.29 | mnemoc | rsync checksums every single file.... |
| 22:46.37 | lundman | if you want it to |
| 22:46.49 | lundman | but yes, lots and lots of small files, tar will be faster |
| 22:47.05 | hno | unless you already have most of the files. |
| 22:47.12 | lundman | also true |
| 22:47.13 | mnemoc | sure |
| 22:47.16 | lundman | and use --inplace |
| 22:47.27 | mnemoc | there are uses for each tool :) |
| 22:48.23 | mnemoc | hno: btw, I only tested on the cubie.... but I guess it's enough in this case |
| 22:49.26 | hno | it's good enough for tonight at least. Need to runn a full test after that change have been fixed. |
| 22:52.26 | hno | Marex, you are right. "rm -rf /" is blocked these days, but it's not related to -i, only -r |
| 22:52.35 | hno | bin/rm: it is dangerous to operate recursively on `/' |
| 22:52.36 | hno | bin/rm: use --no-preserve-root to override this failsafe |
| 22:54.31 | Marex | lundman: use netcat if you want to milk the most from the transfer :p |
| 22:55.00 | Marex | hno: it's STUPID :-E~ |
| 22:55.07 | Marex | bloody |
| 22:57.05 | hno | How should new sysadmins learn anything now? |
| 22:57.50 | Marex | exactly :-C |
| 22:58.37 | Marex | and now that forkbomb is also easily limited ... :(){:|:&};: ... :-C |
