| 09:34.40 | mnemoc | TestModule: assuming you are large enough to be accepted as partner, you have to sign an nda to get sources, which 1) won't allow you to release anything except binaries, 2) will make it impositble for you to work on anything related ever after |

| 10:36.34 | TestModule | anyone on the 3.4 stage? |
| 10:36.56 | hansg | Better double check the mk802 you get has an A10 in there though, some models also come with other SOC-s ie the mk802iii has an rk3066 for which Linux support is not so good (yet) |
| 10:37.09 | hansg | TestModule, yes I run 3.4 staging branch all the time, why ? |
| 10:37.25 | TestModule | did you use the linaro toolchain? |
| 10:38.59 | hansg | TestModule, no I'm using Fedora-18 both as development platform, as well as userspace on the a1x device itself. Fedora-18 comes with a packaged cross-compiler called gcc-arm-linux-gnu which I use: |
| 10:39.08 | hansg | [hans@shalem virt-viewer]$ rpm -q gcc-arm-linux-gnu |
| 10:39.08 | hansg | gcc-arm-linux-gnu-4.7.2-2.aa.20121114svn.fc18.x86_64 |
| 10:39.46 | hansg | Note this is all gnu-eabi hfp (of course) |
| 10:40.01 | TestModule | hansg , by any chance did you -lfto ? |
| 10:40.24 | TestModule | errr <-> |
| 10:40.41 | TestModule | -flto |
| 10:41.03 | hansg | TestModule, I'm not familiar with that option, I'm only cross building the kernel and u-boot using the default CFLAGS from their buildsystems. The userspace gets build natively on the Fedora buildsys |
| 10:41.20 | TestModule | cool cool |
| 10:41.31 | hansg | just steals the official panda Fedora images and then drops in the A10 kernel |
| 10:42.44 | TestModule | So you used 3.4 for FS compatibility? BTW clever. |
| 10:43.30 | hansg | I used 3.4, because Fedora userspace tends to depend on newer kernel ABI quite heavily, so I just choose the latest :) |
| 10:44.09 | hansg | Which seems to work well, I had to do a small fixup wrt selinux, but now I've full F-18 including selinux in enforcing mode running nicely on the A10 |
| 10:44.49 | TestModule | are you using the original or the ii? |
| 10:45.17 | hansg | TestModule, both, as well as a mele_a1000g, a mini-x-1gb, and a gooseberry-a721 |
| 10:45.43 | hansg | Since I'm making images intended for consumption by a wide audience I like to have a diverse set of hw to test with :) |
| 10:46.52 | TestModule | Oh wow. Does your mk802 only use 512 as well since no 1gb fex? |
| 10:47.57 | hansg | Yes my original has only 512MB, I've a 1GB version on its way (through the slow but cheap chinese post), once I've that I'll do a u-boot + fex for the original with 1GB. |
| 10:48.56 | hansg | TestModule, if you've a 1GB version, and you can run a10meminfo on there, then we (me or mnemoc for example) can make a test fex and u-boot for you ... |
| 10:49.06 | hansg | TestModule, which android does your mk802 come with ? |
| 10:49.16 | TestModule | Nice. I think I saw a guy trying to do a bunch of commits for the generic fex, but he has like four posted and it's not organized. |
| 10:49.23 | TestModule | ICS |
| 10:49.40 | TestModule | i have a linux image already loaded if need be on a microsd |
| 10:51.25 | hansg | Normally we also want the script.bin from the nanda partition, but with ICS images that seems to be a copy from another image, and, well, wrong. |
| 10:52.09 | TestModule | Hrmmm |
| 10:53.44 | hansg | So I plan to take the script.bin from the 512M version and modify that. Note my 512M has a clearly wrong script.bin too, but the sunxi-boards git repo has a .fex from an original mk802 with android 2.x, and that is correct. So my plan is to just drop your meminfo in there and use that |
| 10:54.04 | hansg | So to get the meminfo, do the following: |
| 10:54.22 | hansg | 1) Download a10-meminfo-static from: https://github.com/maxnet/a10-meminfo |
| 10:54.42 | hansg | 2) Put it on a fat formatted usb-stick or micro-sd |
| 10:54.56 | hansg | 3) Start the mk802 without an sdcard, so that you boot the original android |
| 10:54.57 | mnemoc | we need a submiting fex files page on the wiki :p |
| 10:55.14 | hansg | 4) install a terminal from the app store |
| 10:55.18 | hansg | 5) start terminal |
| 10:55.20 | hansg | 6) su - |
| 10:55.29 | hansg | 7) insert sd-card |
| 10:55.30 | TestModule | busybox needed? |
| 10:55.57 | hansg | 8) do "mount" to see where the sd-card (or usb-stick) got mounted |
| 10:56.17 | hansg | 9) do "cat <path-to>/a10-meminfo-static > /a10-meminfo-static" |
| 10:56.32 | mnemoc | /a10-meminfo-static ? |
| 10:56.35 | hansg | 10) do "chmod 755 /a10-meminfo-static" |
| 10:56.47 | hansg | mnemoc, yes, sdcard is mounted noexec |
| 10:56.54 | mnemoc | ok |

| 10:59.03 | hansg | 15) See where nanda is mounted |
| 10:59.24 | hansg | 16) if not mounted do: "mkdir /mnt/nanda" and "mount /dev/nanda /mnt/nanda" |
| 10:59.54 | hansg | 17) do "cat <path-to-nanda>/script.bin > <path-to-sd-or-usb>/script.bin" |
| 11:00.10 | hansg | 18) do "umount <path-to-sd-or-usb>" |
| 11:00.31 | hansg | 19) put script.bin somewhere where you can hyperlink it and send a link to the list |

| 11:31.25 | mnemoc | ack |
| 11:31.43 | hansg | Also on the wiki probably split in separate instructions for meminfo + script.bin, copy-pasting the first few steps |
| 11:31.54 | mnemoc | hansg: btw, how do you feel with the dynamic disp stuff in stage yet? |
| 11:32.18 | mnemoc | hansg: the good thing with wikis is that they can be freely improved over time :) |

| 11:37.20 | mnemoc | allwinner is becoming very good at annoying :< |
| 11:37.45 | TestModule | Yes :<. It's making me pass flags or incorrect usage for mount |
| 11:38.05 | specing | maybe we should just periodically send someone to china to break into their HQ and take the sources... easier |
| 11:38.34 | mnemoc | specing: they probably changed the nand driver to hide certain partition types |
| 11:38.35 | hansg | TestModule, ah yes you need to specify -t vfat to mount, it does not auto-detect fs for some reason |
| 11:38.55 | mnemoc | if it doesn't auto-detect, it's probably not vfat |
| 11:39.24 | TestModule | says device or resource busy for the first one |
| 11:39.35 | TestModule | you know, i can hop on ubuntu and just rip the files |
| 11:39.50 | mnemoc | can you? |
| 11:39.52 | hansg | mnemoc, no, it is the android re-written mount utility (so as to be bsd) it needs a -t in my experience, otherwise it just gives its --help output without even trying |
| 11:39.53 | TestModule | yeh |
| 11:40.00 | mnemoc | hansg: :< |
| 11:40.13 | mnemoc | TestModule: then do so from there |

| 11:40.49 | TestModule | kk |
| 11:40.51 | hansg | TestModule, yes getting the script.bin from ubuntu is fine, as mnemoc said we only need the a10meminfo from the *stock* android. |
| 11:41.04 | TestModule | lol, i promise you this is stock |
| 11:41.16 | TestModule | it was pre-rooted so, no need |
| 11:41.31 | hansg | We want the script.bin from *stock* too, but getting that while running something else is fine, it is a file, versus probing runtime settings |
| 11:42.17 | hansg | About your a10-meminfo output: 1) Thanks 2) looks very non exciting, exactly what I expected -> good :) |
| 11:42.53 | TestModule | Hopefully the bins are more exciting |

| 12:20.53 | TestModule | how so? |

| 12:22.33 | specing | I doubt they turned it off... |

| 12:23.26 | specing | sd cards, CF |
| 12:24.13 | TestModule | I read through a bunch of stuff, basically the benchmark guys were saying that more recent optimizations have been done to ext4 vs ext2, so it holds an advantage even when both are "equal". |
| 12:25.55 | oliv3r | the problem with ext4's journaling is, that the journal trashes the nand |
| 12:26.10 | TestModule | yeh |
| 12:26.39 | specing | oliv3r: Sherlock |
| 12:26.51 | oliv3r | if you have a driver that does flash-load balancing, that works fine |

| 12:28.55 | slapin | if you want journaling you have to use e.g. ubifs or jffs2 |

| 12:45.16 | TestModule | yup |
| 12:47.13 | *** part/#arm-netbook Ershov (~Thunderbi@89.163.11.110) |
| 12:47.55 | hansg | Yep looks like it is made of fail. I suggest to just use the mk802.fex file from sunxi-boards |
| 12:48.33 | hansg | (make of fail, ie: claims to have the axp20x pmu chip, while that is no where to be found on the board) |
| 12:48.57 | TestModule | :( |
| 12:50.00 | TestModule | So just insert my DRAM settings after the fact? |
| 12:50.06 | TestModule | to the mk802 fex |
| 12:51.21 | hansg | Yes you could do that, and set size to 1024. Not really necessary though, AFAIK the fex dram settings are completely ignored the dram controller is programmed by u-boot and then left alone AFAIK |
| 12:51.24 | slapin | wow, as I see, all mk802s have different DRAM settings? |
| 12:51.35 | hansg | So we just put them there for completenes |
| 12:52.07 | hansg | slapin, different models can have different settings yes |
| 12:52.31 | slapin | hansg: and within same model? |
| 12:53.04 | slapin | wonders about memory calibration mechanism |
| 12:53.10 | hansg | TestModule, for u-boot use mini-x-1gb as model for now. That has the exact same dram settings and the dram settings is the only thing that differentiates different *A10* u-boot builds |
| 12:53.56 | hansg | slapin, within the same model (and same memory amount) they usually stay the same. The could tweak them per series when they use different dram chips in a different production run, but they don't seem to do that |
| 12:54.33 | hansg | They're going for a conservative 360 Mhz bus speed with a cas of 6, which should work for any dd3 chips they throw on there. |
| 12:55.10 | hansg | There is this magic bit in the emr1 register which they sometimes flip, usually when using 4 dram chips instead of 2. But not always ... |
| 12:55.42 | hansg | Anyways thanks for the meminfo and the script.bin. I've really got to go and do some payed-for-work now. |
| 12:56.08 | TestModule | kk, thanks man |
| 13:00.59 | TestModule | Does anyone here know if the WiFi on these is considered USB ? |
| 13:01.18 | hansg | TestModule, one last note, please let us know if it works, then we can add an official mk802-1gb to the sunxi-u-boot repo and a fex file to sunxi-boards |
| 13:01.49 | TestModule | kk :) |
| 13:02.06 | TestModule | The sun4i defconfig works OOTB ? |
| 13:02.15 | TestModule | that is generated, etc |
| 13:04.39 | hansg | TestModule, yes it is an usb wifi card. If it is not showing up try "modprobe 8192cu" |
| 13:05.03 | hansg | TestModule, yes the defconfig should work ootb |
| 13:05.08 | TestModule | kk, I see it now in lsusb. Nice. |
| 13:06.25 | hansg | TestModule, the modprobe being necessary is a fex file issue, fixed recently, see: https://github.com/linux-sunxi/sunxi-boards/commit/9be2858e2f3a06522b90691d4b96a2c5299edff9 |

| 13:08.55 | TestModule | Ok cool, so usbc2 = wifi, 1 = MiniUSB 0 = Full ? |
| 13:10.52 | hansg | Nope, usbc0 = mini/micro and is otg, which is generally extremely broken, ok for plugging in a usb-stick, but not much else, better use a hub in the full usb port if you need more ports. usbc1 is the full port usbc2 is internal usb used by wifi |

| 16:02.48 | hramrach | how is such system supposed to work is beyond comprehenition |
| 16:03.27 | mnemoc | i've been succesful buying from zero-feedback sellers. but "reasonable" price and after some messages asking questions |
| 16:03.55 | mnemoc | but it's clearly hard to get started |
| 16:08.25 | aexl_ | is there problem with the rhombus site password reset or is it me (äxl)? |
| 16:08.40 | jinzo | hramrach, you selling anything related to this chan? |
| 16:09.00 | mnemoc | aexl_: it's likely it doesn't like not-ascii names |
| 16:09.18 | aexl_ | okay. thanks! |
| 16:09.24 | specing | hramrach: they buy from themselves and give excellent feedback? |
| 16:10.15 | hramrach | specing: thre is nothing relly stopping you from doing that |
| 16:10.32 | hramrach | jinzo: no, if I was selling something I probably would not choose ebay |
| 16:10.58 | hramrach | but you can sometimes find stuff on ebay that is no longer available new |

| 16:42.50 | drachensun | without performing the actual commerce expected |
| 16:43.35 | drachensun | one guy had 10K positive feedback so he could hide his ripoffs |

| 16:44.50 | drachensun | the negative comments were damning to "sent me a box of different colored broken plastic pieces, said to file a claim with the shipper, what I ordered was supposed to be 'new in box'" |
| 16:44.59 | drachensun | well his case he was buying cheap stuff |
| 16:45.03 | drachensun | like 1 cent coupons |
| 16:45.42 | drachensun | all his auctions were for high priced, unique collectables and the feedback implied he didn't really ever send them |

| 19:09.28 | techn_ | is that gpio implementation ? |
| 19:09.32 | WarheadsSE | Does the A10 chip have that in the block? |
| 19:09.45 | WarheadsSE | I see the imx mxs-mach has a specific implementation of it |
| 19:11.36 | vinifm | techn: I think not, because it is internal |
| 19:12.14 | techn_ | I havent seen any references of ADC stuff |
| 19:14.56 | vinifm | it would be a platform driver, specific for sunxi? |

| 19:27.00 | vinifm | hm, lradc_sunxi.c :) |

| 19:39.13 | WarheadsSE | ARM is jsut the IP really |
| 19:39.29 | WarheadsSE | its the everta stuffs & the layouts that make them really different |

| 19:40.01 | techn_ | yes.. but ARM cpu is standard still, but apple jumped of from that? :/ |
| 19:40.34 | WarheadsSE | mah, probably just using a large bus to the GPU/memory |
| 19:40.38 | traeak | i guess samsung may have similar tech |
| 19:40.46 | mnemoc | afaik marvell's and apply bought the license to implement something compatible with, not the actual unit design |

| 20:36.13 | specing | a distro of your choice |
| 20:36.32 | specing | cedarx drivers (nonexistant)? |
| 20:36.33 | DumDum_ | I had high hopes of installing Ubuntu way back when I bought this, but it seems like the info is all over the place and way above my head. |
| 20:36.54 | specing | make that "a decent distro of your choice" |
| 20:37.11 | specing | mali drivers (nonexistant?) |
| 20:38.03 | DumDum_ | I have ben looking for an easy instal for Ubuntu or any linux for a long time, months, now I will settle for android jellybean. |

| 20:39.30 | specing | actually they could have made it easy, but they don't care |
| 20:40.29 | DumDum_ | seems like Mele does not have the big following I was counting on. I was wanting a raspberry pi at the time, settled for this |

| 20:42.30 | DumDum_ | you would think that updating android would be easy, but not on the mele |
| 20:43.11 | specing | either it is cheap and easy (RPI) or cheap and non-sucking(A10) or easy and non-sucking (imx6?) |
| 20:43.21 | specing | pick your choice |
