| 08:14.26 | herdingcat | there's no LED for SD card r/w operation? |
| 08:20.34 | lunra | Why would you want one? Typically your SD card contains your rootfs, and you don't ever want to be removing it |
| 08:20.50 | hno | herdingcat, you can quite easily add LED feedback in the MMC driver if needed. |
| 08:21.10 | lunra | hell, if you wanted to you could hack an LED onto the data lines |
| 08:21.39 | lunra | actually that might be hard. nevermind |
| 08:21.55 | herdingcat | hno, how? |
| 08:22.39 | lunra | without meaning to be rude, he means 'quite easily, provided you have experience writing device drivers' |
| 08:23.00 | lawrence | easy peasy |
| 08:23.19 | lawrence | just write to gpio of choice in the driver |
| 08:23.26 | lawrence | would be 1 or 2 lines of code |
| 08:23.39 | lawrence | says me and my 2 cents |
| 08:23.54 | herdingcat | lawrence, anything you can share? |
| 08:24.30 | lawrence | i would start maybe by looking what gpio's are hooked up to the led's on the board |
| 08:24.42 | lawrence | so first look, is the cubieboard design thing |
| 08:24.49 | lawrence | see what gpio port controls what led. |
| 08:25.00 | herdingcat | lawrence, is there datagram like that? |
| 08:25.01 | lawrence | then go to the A10 data sheet, and see where that is in memory |
| 08:25.10 | lawrence | as gpio is mapped to memory |
| 08:25.41 | lawrence | once you have those two, nip over to the kernel driver code and add in some lines to set that gpio high or low on some driver action |
| 08:25.48 | lunra | Is there a real A10 datasheet that actually shows registers in detail? The A10 datasheet on the linux-sunxi wiki is far too brief, yet the wiki has some info on registers. Where'd that come from? |
| 08:26.19 | lawrence | grep the linux-sunxi code is easier generally, as the data sheet is mui deficient. |
| 08:28.03 | lawrence | http://dl.cubieboard.org/hardware/ |
| 08:28.08 | lawrence | schematic is there |
| 08:28.22 | lawrence | look to see what pin the current led's are connected to |

| 09:59.47 | herdingcat | hi, Is 550mA power supply okay for cb? |
| 10:03.12 | RaYmAn | I wouldn't expect so - rpi requires 700mA and CB is a bit faster |
| 10:04.54 | herdingcat | RaYmAn, how about 1A? |
| 10:05.51 | jammi | herdingcat: only if you don't plan to use any usb devices except a low-power keyboard and mouse, but you might still have issues |
| 10:06.38 | herdingcat | jammi, yes, I encountered. I'm using serial console output and when run "yum install packages" the system will hang... |
| 10:06.47 | jammi | go for 2A and I'd say go for non-usb, because not all > 500mA usb chargers give more than 500mA unless the device does a digital handshake (which the cubieboard cable doesn't do) |
| 10:07.34 | herdingcat | jammi, any suggested power supplier? |
| 10:07.40 | jammi | or better yet; 4-6A, so you don't have to worry and do guesswork about why it suddenly reset |
| 10:08.42 | lawrence | i second that |
| 10:09.08 | jammi | just go for any generic 5V switching power supply with enough current. there are plenty of them and should be cheaper than usb chargers anyway |
| 10:09.35 | jammi | even if one doesn't have the barrel plug, you could just splice the cable |

| 17:41.47 | mnemoc | SquirrelCZECH: it looks like a userspace/distro problem |
| 17:41.59 | mnemoc | no idea what config.txt is |
| 17:42.08 | SquirrelCZECH | eh |
| 17:42.16 | SquirrelCZECH | root partiton of sd card? |
| 17:42.42 | mnemoc | no, kernel command line argument, from u-boot |
| 17:42.44 | SquirrelCZECH | I don't know where I should write "init=/bin/sj" :D (I only now that it should be after the kernel command :) ) |
| 17:43.25 | mnemoc | you got rootfs mounted, <6>EXT4-fs (mmcblk0p2): mounted filesystem with ordered data mode. Opts: (null) |
| 17:43.48 | mnemoc | and mali modules loaded, so you got a running userspace |
| 17:44.10 | mnemoc | but that userspace is dying |
| 17:44.43 | SquirrelCZECH | hmm |
| 17:44.50 | SquirrelCZECH | at first I need to find the cubies fex file |
| 17:45.05 | mnemoc | sunxi-boards repo |
| 17:49.17 | SquirrelCZECH | mnemoc: thanks, and in the fex file? where I should find place for init=/bin/sh ? |
| 17:56.57 | mnemoc | SquirrelCZECH: the fex file has absolutely nothing to do with kernel arguments |

| 18:04.28 | qermit | i mean i want to ask if you are using uboot |
| 18:04.49 | mnemoc | SquirrelCZECH: never mind, you wouldn't know what to do after booting with init=/bin/sh anyway |
| 18:04.53 | SquirrelCZECH | ah, sorry :D |

| 18:06.26 | SquirrelCZECH | ok |
| 18:06.49 | qermit | SquirrelCZECH: find varialbe env command in u-boot |
| 18:07.01 | mnemoc | the paste you showed tells that init starts running and then dies |
| 18:08.27 | mnemoc | using init=/bin/sh you'll get a very raw system which you can use to fix your userspace |
| 18:08.43 | mnemoc | another way is to get a better supported rootfs in there |

| 18:53.58 | qermit | Workboot: have you seen memcpy sourcecode? |
| 18:54.02 | Workboot | The block copy test has a bug where it's operating out of cache. I don't think that's the intention, but I didn't read the documentation. |

| 20:35.00 | Jonathan_Eyre | The one thing Ubuntu phone is missing is a multi-million dollar ad campaign. Until it gets that, you'll install it, think nice things, then end up using something else. |
| 20:35.02 | D-Tick | first a hello in the round :) |

| 20:42.05 | mnemoc | with the <500mA on the OTG it works well and can drive a usb stick and ethernet just fine |
| 20:42.56 | mnemoc | not sure if it feeds from the ethernet. it does feed (a whole W) from hdmi |
| 20:43.08 | D-Tick | that would be less than 2.5 Watt |

| 23:18.43 | suhanc | or radio stuff |
| 23:19.40 | suhanc | but there are usb devices for this to connect |
| 23:19.54 | suhanc | not sure what it's all about |
| 23:20.30 | suhanc | sorry,i'm just bored,not sleepy and curious about other people's ideas abut the device |

| 23:22.17 | r4v5 | no, the goal is a radio |
| 23:22.20 | suhanc | i can see the news - open technology wanishes roland :D |
| 23:23.15 | suhanc | okay,so in my stupid sysadmin speech..a radio server or a radio client? (i know this is not the professional expression but i guess you understand the question) |
| 23:23.19 | r4v5 | basically, you mix a high frequency (7MHz, for instance) signal with the radio signal from an antenna and you get things that are shifted up and down 7MHz (so anything at 7MHz would appear at 0Hz and 14MHz) |
| 23:23.26 | r4v5 | both. |
| 23:23.38 | suhanc | nice :) |
| 23:23.46 | r4v5 | Now you run that raw stuff into a sound card and it acts as an analog-to-digital converter |
| 23:24.04 | r4v5 | and gives you somewhere between 22 and 96kHz wide chunk of spectrum |
| 23:24.25 | suhanc | okay,most of the stuff i wanna control with it is digital |
