| 11:56.06 | oliv3r | is it even possible to have cec on dvi-d? |
| 12:03.24 | slapin_ | as I understand hdmi is different from dvi-d only by form factor |
| 12:03.39 | oliv3r | not from what I know |
| 12:03.45 | oliv3r | the video information, yes it's pure dvi |
| 12:04.02 | oliv3r | but hdmi also has hdcp (but ignoring that) there's extra lines for audio too |
| 12:04.05 | oliv3r | it's dvi + |
| 12:04.16 | slapin_ | hdcp is dvi function, too |
| 12:04.20 | oliv3r | and I think, pretty sure actually, that cec is a seperate wire |
| 12:04.35 | oliv3r | i thought that hdcp requires a specific wire on the hdmi pinout |
| 12:05.07 | oliv3r | I think, DVI and HDMI both transfer TMDS |
| 12:05.11 | oliv3r | but hdmi has pin 13, CEC |
| 12:05.39 | oliv3r | pin 14 is ethernet on hdmi 1.4 (also, not in dvi spec) |
| 12:05.50 | oliv3r | i2c probably is on both |
| 12:06.15 | slapin_ | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DVI says hdcp does exist on dvi |
| 12:06.31 | oliv3r | +5v is on both, but dvi has analog wires |
| 12:06.43 | oliv3r | slapin_: that could bbbe very possible |
| 12:06.48 | slapin_ | oliv3r: I mean dvi-d of course |
| 12:07.07 | oliv3r | ah, well yeah |
| 12:07.18 | oliv3r | i was just comparing the entire pinout ;) |
| 12:07.32 | slapin_ | oliv3r: ethernet on hdmi? single pin? weird... |
| 12:08.46 | buZz | hmm, is there no way to let an A10 chip output custom resolutions on HDMI? |
| 12:09.21 | oliv3r | slapin_: oh yes, hdmi does ethernet on pin 14 :) |
| 12:09.24 | buZz | my screen is 1366x768 and i would like to get non-blurry pixels :D |
| 12:09.38 | oliv3r | that's not reasonably uncommon |
| 12:09.39 | slapin_ | does any A10 board outputs ethernet on HDMI? |
| 12:09.47 | oliv3r | slapin_: i extremly seriously doubt it |
| 12:10.12 | slapin_ | and single-pin etherned is wicked thing |
| 12:14.02 | slapin_ | I see http://www.hdmi.org/manufacturer/hdmi_1_4/hec.aspx |
| 12:14.24 | slapin_ | and is there any docs on implementation, where is hec phy? |
| 12:14.56 | slapin_ | this feature is very interesting for a10 boards |
| 12:15.14 | slapin_ | but probably not too practical at the time |
| 12:15.55 | slapin_ | probably mac-only ethernet switch + hec phy + normal phy will do |
| 12:17.19 | slapin_ | on mk802 original and 1GB version I see menu option to configure resolution, and it works on my small screen tv with hdmi input |
| 12:19.43 | buZz | slapin_: doet it list 1366x768 ? |
| 12:19.54 | hno | slapin_, Ethernet started as a single coax wire bus topology. |
| 12:24.03 | hno | oliv3r, yes CEC is a separate wire. |
| 12:25.03 | hno | DVI can carry HDMI video+audio signals. But DVI decoders can not decode them. DVI inputs connected to a HDMI decoder can. |
| 12:26.48 | hno | Some interoperability is possible on video stream. But not guaranteed. But if the display have HDMI input then it very likely accepts full HDMI video+audio on DVI connectors as well. |

| 12:47.00 | oliv3r | i thought that the video + audio DVI thing was something propriatory used by some video cards |
| 12:50.40 | hno | oliv3r, not really. Only HDMI signalling over DVI connector, with cable adapter to HDMI. |
| 12:51.30 | hno | HDMI carries audio over the same LVDS pairs as video. Just another packet type. |
| 12:51.57 | hno | DVI and HDMI differs slightly in video formats supported, using different resolutions and colour encoding. |
| 12:52.03 | oliv3r | ah, didn't know that |
| 12:52.15 | hno | but same signalling and overall packet format. |
| 12:53.45 | slapin_ | hno: hi |
| 12:54.04 | oliv3r | i thought they'd abuse some pins, but that kinda makes sense, if you have a HDMI controller, why not |
| 12:54.09 | slapin_ | hno: I found no second wire in specification |

| 12:57.58 | hno | slapin_, no news. Haven't been able to look at it for some weeks now. |
| 12:59.18 | slapin_ | hno: could you please give me link on your processor boot dump again to repeat your register setting with reading first block (boot0)? |
| 13:00.07 | hno | Allwinner-info git repository in NAND directory. |
| 13:00.43 | slapin_ | hno: falied to parse |
| 13:01.09 | slapin_ | hno: ah |
| 13:01.13 | hno | The dumps are found in the NAND directory of my My Allwinner-info git repository on github. |
| 13:01.21 | slapin_ | hno: thanks |
| 13:06.11 | hno | slapin_, I still have logic analyzer connected if there is something you want me to verify. |
| 13:06.25 | hno | but out of ideas how to drive this in CPU mode. |
| 13:06.58 | hno | DMA mode is pretty easy however. |
| 13:09.42 | slapin_ | hno: so you were able to read all pages of NAND block 0, but not othere, am I right? |
| 13:12.16 | hno | No. I can only read first sector usign CPU, and only by sending the read command and then reset the controller. |
| 13:13.05 | hno | trying to read second sector only returns garbage. Presumably because randomizer needs different seeding. |
| 13:14.16 | hno | And having to reset the NAND controller to access the result is just wrong. |
| 13:14.51 | slapin_ | hno: have you seen correlation between seed values in leechie u-boot? |
| 13:15.17 | slapin_ | hno: wnd why you need to reset controller? |

| 18:47.00 | Skaag | if I remove my SD card, Android boots (comes built into the A13), and the screen works |
| 18:47.32 | Skaag | backlight is currently off |
| 18:47.42 | techn_ | first.. make sure that you have same script.bin / .fex file as with that stock android |
| 18:48.03 | Skaag | i'll convert my .bin to .fex so I can inspect it |
| 18:52.36 | techn_ | if they are same.. then check stock android lcd.ko, which objects it consists.. since they could have build lcd.ko with hardcoded lcd parameters :/ |
| 18:54.51 | techn_ | if that wont help.. you could ask help from olinuxino to get right parameters to script.bin. :/ |
| 18:55.14 | techn_ | unless you are skilled enough to read them on datasheet (if available) |
| 18:57.13 | Skaag | ok just found this https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B-bAEPML8fwlNElERXRUZURTTUU/edit |

| 18:58.17 | Skaag | :) |
| 18:59.03 | techn_ | ok. place correct one to ./sunxi-boards/sys_config/a13/a13_olinuxino.fex |
| 18:59.26 | techn_ | then make hw-pack install :) |

| 19:03.05 | Skaag | yes, it's 800x480 |
| 19:03.26 | techn_ | yep.. so changin that should do the trick |
| 19:03.28 | Skaag | I have to re-make hw-pack? I can't just take the correct .fex, bin it, and stick it in my vfat partition on the sd? |
| 19:03.41 | techn_ | Skaag: sure :) |

| 19:04.17 | Skaag | is that what happens while making hw-pack? |

| 21:31.52 | techn_ | and fbcon |
| 21:32.10 | Skaag | how do I test it? |
| 21:32.36 | Skaag | I believe I should now have the correct script.bin for the display type I have |
| 21:34.03 | techn_ | is backlight on? is there something rendered on the screen? |
| 21:34.10 | Skaag | nothing |

| 21:37.58 | mentis | i have a a10 tablet, board a710, build.prop: http://pastebin.com/R1czQXkg ; uboot http://pastebin.com/Q3Eg6Rzs ; im trying to make it boot android jb from sd with no luck :/ i've tried several tutorials, several uboots and kernels. I managed to lunch linaro lubuntu; from .img i dl'ed from xda; uboot from that .img doesnt work for android :/ |
| 21:40.40 | mentis | i've found the lichee 3.0.8 kernel that qware leaked, build the kernel and this is the only one that boots on my device |

| 21:42.18 | mentis | pls somebody help |
| 21:42.20 | mentis | pls |
| 21:42.32 | techn_ | sources here are newer https://github.com/linux-sunxi/linux-sunxi |
| 21:43.03 | mentis | but they dont work, kernel fails with some kind of device paging error |

| 21:43.27 | techn_ | mentis: you propably have same tablet as I |

| 21:44.17 | mentis | the uboot from http://pastebin.com/Q3Eg6Rzs is the original one from the device |
| 21:44.33 | mentis | besides is spl still valid ? |
| 21:44.39 | techn_ | also mnemoc's proposal could be right |
| 21:45.08 | mnemoc | mentis: to use the allwinner's defective-by-design u-boot you need to enable IGNORE_ATAG_MEM thing |
| 21:45.27 | Skaag | techn_: any idea how I can wake up my lcd? how to check that it works? or how to configure xorg to use it? |
| 21:45.28 | mnemoc | but it's better to replace it with a well behaved one |
| 21:45.36 | Skaag | i just mod probed mali and that module loaded |
| 21:45.57 | techn_ | Skaag: X should work right after you get lcd working |
| 21:46.12 | Skaag | but not if it's not configured properly? |
| 21:46.22 | mentis | mnemoc, i suspect that the default uboot doeast allow mmc boot, therefore its useless for me, cuz i want to boot from sd |
| 21:46.36 | Skaag | there's various xorg versions, how do I point it to use fbdev or whatever device |
| 21:46.52 | mnemoc | mentis: allwinner's u-boot is nand only |
| 21:47.20 | techn_ | Skaag: souds like it.. now that you have right script.bin, only debugging helps :( |
| 21:47.36 | mentis | mnemoc, when i use uboot from linux-sunxi git, do i need to configure it somehow? |

| 21:48.03 | Skaag | mentis: I put u-boot on my SD and it booted, but maybe my hardware supports this feature (A13) |
| 21:48.05 | mnemoc | mentis: u-boot needs per-board setup |
| 21:48.08 | Skaag | techn_: how? |
| 21:48.27 | mnemoc | mentis: for the dram initialization |
| 21:48.46 | mentis | mnemoc, how do i know how to configure uboot for my board? |

| 21:54.15 | mentis | this is the file i got from nanda from my device |
| 21:54.22 | mnemoc | normally you would use a10-meminfo to complete the [dram_para] section buy yours looks complete |
| 21:54.36 | mnemoc | anyhow, it would be better if you verify it's content using a10-meminfo |
| 21:55.56 | mnemoc | after that use sunxi-tools' fexc -I fex -O u-boot to generate a board/allwinner/$yourboard/dram.c |

| 21:58.04 | techn_ | mentis: but that should be fixed in latest |
| 21:58.32 | mnemoc | isn't he using the lastest? |
| 22:01.50 | Skaag | techn_: this is what I mean: [ 3315.750] (==) No screen section available. Using defaults. |
| 22:01.58 | Skaag | don't I need a screen section? |
| 22:02.11 | Skaag | screen, and layout, both are missing |
| 22:03.56 | techn_ | Skaag: you should see fbcon if there is no X |
| 22:05.19 | techn_ | mnemoc: dunno what is the latest he has tried |
| 22:06.46 | Skaag | fbset -i shows me my frame buffer device with the correct info |
| 22:07.42 | mnemoc | fbcon needs console=tty0 passed iirc |
| 22:08.18 | Skaag | what's fbcon? a utility? |
| 22:08.21 | Skaag | where do I obtain it? |
