| 19:59.58 | buZz | ehr :P |
| 20:00.09 | buZz | we are working on community built guides ;) |
| 20:00.14 | buZz | lets see |
| 20:00.59 | buZz | If you already have an SD card with your own rootfs and files installed, and do not want to delete those files, but still want to update u-boot, the kernel and the kernel modules, you can run the following command: |
| 20:01.03 | buZz | ./a1x-media-create.sh /dev/sdX mele-a1000_hwpack_YYYY.MM.DD.7z norootfs |
| 20:01.10 | buZz | replace mele-a1000_hwpack_YYYY.MM.DD.7z with the one you downloaded |
| 20:01.40 | buZz | i pulled this from http://www.cnx-software.com/2012/07/20/nightly-builds-for-allwinner-a10-u-boot-linux-kernel-and-hardware-packs/ but i dont recommend you grab those hwpacks |
| 20:02.17 | buZz | i recommend you pick a hwpack from http://dl.linux-sunxi.org/amery/sunxi-3.0/latest/ |

| 20:13.24 | solarian | thank you :) ive already found that repository |
| 20:14.10 | solarian | i will do a fresh start |
| 20:14.32 | solarian | with the latest hwpack and the latest linaro alip |
| 20:32.18 | solarian | buZz: hehe, it enables the power now, but i gotta have to find a more powerful power supply :) |
| 20:36.25 | *** join/#cubieboard RA3OR (angel@46.108.180.9) |
| 20:40.47 | solarian | also it is much faster with cifs shares |
| 20:42.08 | buZz | ;) |
| 20:47.27 | solarian | it was impossible to download a torrent onto a cifs volume with the 3.0.42 kernel |
| 20:47.43 | solarian | and now it is downloading with full bandwidth :) |
| 20:56.51 | buZz | ah, faster _than_ cifs shares |
| 20:56.52 | buZz | :P |
| 20:59.23 | solarian | nop, i mean that the CIFS share is faster now |

| 21:01.11 | buZz | oh wow, cubieboard _does_ have RTC? |
| 21:01.42 | mnemoc | the A10 has RTC |
| 21:01.53 | buZz | but also batterybacking? |
| 21:01.56 | buZz | or supercap? |
| 21:02.18 | mnemoc | it relies in power from the pmu |
| 21:02.43 | buZz | oh really? weird .. my debian was powered off for over 24 hours and clock was right .. |
| 21:02.57 | mnemoc | that's odd |
| 21:03.36 | mnemoc | powered off but plugged I suppose |
| 21:03.41 | buZz | it was even just 0.0006 apart |
| 21:03.45 | buZz | no, plugged off |
| 21:03.50 | buZz | removed from all power .. |
| 21:04.02 | mnemoc | hdmi too? |
| 21:04.07 | buZz | yes everything |
| 21:04.12 | mnemoc | weird |
| 21:04.20 | buZz | only thing connected, was the usb cable, but it wasnt plugged in anywhere |
| 21:06.22 | jammi | could there be a capacitor giving power for that long? |
| 21:08.00 | jammi | the power led on mine lights up when removing the sd card even though the power cable is disconnected, only the serial adapter plugged in |
| 21:46.08 | buZz | jammi: most mcu i worked with will just pull power over IO pins |

| 21:51.20 | buZz | hmm |
| 21:51.33 | buZz | is there somewhere a precompiled version of https://github.com/hno/uboot-allwinner ? :LD |
| 21:52.06 | jammi | btw, are there instructions to what to connect for a rtc battery |
| 22:26.49 | buZz | i dont think so jammi |
| 22:27.17 | jammi | ok, that just needs to be figured out then |
| 22:28.13 | jammi | btw, the rikomagic ubuntu distro has support for accessing the on-board flash from within linux |
| 22:28.27 | jammi | they're also using A10's |
| 22:28.39 | jammi | might be worth taking a look at |
| 22:31.04 | buZz | hmm there are /dev/nand* devices |
| 22:31.41 | buZz | ah UDISK |
| 22:31.51 | buZz | its the biggest |
| 22:32.31 | buZz | check out /dev/nandi , on my cubieboard its a fat32 |
| 22:35.31 | buZz | its android's 'user' partition |
| 22:35.33 | jammi | it's not powered on now, I'm hacking on something else at the moment |
| 22:35.49 | buZz | but basically, all the nand devices are available in linux :) |
| 22:36.38 | jammi | yeah, I'll use the other cubiebox as my always-on living room box mainly for its low power usage |
| 22:37.21 | jammi | but I'll use the other for all kinds of experimenting, needs a bit more info though |
| 22:37.21 | buZz | ah k k |
| 22:37.38 | buZz | i am working on integrating cubieboard with a motorola lapdock, as a general purpose laptop |
| 22:38.13 | jammi | I'll use a power mac G5 as the case for the livingroom cubieboard :) |
| 22:38.42 | jammi | it's a pretty cabinet, and having a modern arm computer inside won't hurt |
| 22:38.47 | buZz | lol |
| 22:38.53 | buZz | thats a bit .. big :D |
| 22:39.14 | jammi | sure is, which means I can use it for liquor storage and such |
| 22:39.26 | buZz | lol |
| 22:39.31 | jammi | with space to spare for a bunch of hdd's for the cubieboard |
| 22:40.09 | jammi | and whatever else I'll use with it, neatly hidden somewhere, just a power cable going in and video/audio out |

| 22:42.01 | jammi | but yeah, on the hacking board I'll probably experiment with bare metal and will spend some efforts to at least test and do some patching on the arm port of haiku |
| 22:42.48 | buZz | haiku \o/ |
| 22:42.49 | buZz | oooo |
| 22:42.49 | jammi | so I think that'll end up being something based on uboot itself |
| 22:43.08 | buZz | i could get friend so jealous if i get haiku running :P |
| 22:43.38 | jammi | just to have something getting started directly, I don't really need the wealth of features of uboot |
| 22:43.51 | jammi | yeah, haiku is imo the perfect os for these |
| 22:43.55 | buZz | i dont think you need to run uboot |
| 22:43.58 | jammi | ..if it ran :) |
| 22:44.04 | buZz | lol |
| 22:44.44 | jammi | I don't mean I'll run uboot. what I mean is that it has working bootstrap code, keeping that and removing the rest, then hacking in the haiku boot loader and debugger and progressing from there |
| 22:46.44 | jammi | but I need to setup a rapid development toolchain first, and being able to access the flash via the fel stuff would basically be a prerequisite, so I might just wait out until there are tools for that. dealing with manually swapping sd's and stuff isn't very productive, because it's hard to automate |

| 23:09.27 | buZz | i dont think so big ;) i just want this one cubieboard to do my bidding |
| 23:10.51 | jammi | reverse-engineering isn't one of my favourites though, so I guess there are others who have fun doing the fel-flash stuff |
| 23:13.33 | buZz | there is always progress :) |
| 23:23.21 | mrunix0 | i haven't spent more than 45 seconds googling for this, is it possible to have u-boot turn right around and have it pxe boot an image? |
| 23:23.45 | jammi | afaik, there's no pxe on it |
| 23:24.24 | mrunix0 | i was thinking uboot could act as a pxe client |
| 23:24.29 | mrunix0 | maybe not |
| 23:24.51 | mrunix0 | board bootstraps uboot, uboot does hand wavy things and loads pxelinux across the network |
| 23:25.03 | jammi | well, you could write a pxe client for it |
| 23:25.29 | jammi | would you use it for rapid development? |
| 23:25.35 | mrunix0 | sort of |
| 23:26.01 | mrunix0 | i live my life installing massive amounts of servers via pxe+tftp and it would be kind of useful to have rpi/cubie boards that i could shoehorn into pxe booting |
| 23:26.12 | jammi | I think it would be smarter to have it load a bigger image from the fat or something though |
| 23:26.26 | jammi | there are some space constraints to what you can fit into the mbr |
| 23:28.39 | mrunix0 | i think what i'd love to do is have a shoebox of cubieboards networked together like a tiny cluster and use it to teach provisioning tools from |
| 23:28.46 | jammi | my target is basically to have a local bootable media for it and a remote reset. would compile an image on my box whenever I change a file, upload it and boot, telling the results based on reading the event log from serial, notifying me of failures |
| 23:29.43 | jammi | would allow focusing on the code and have it interrupt only when there are issues; manual testing is slow, tedious and not fun at all |
| 23:30.42 | jammi | I do all my development like that, there's just no way turning back :) |
