11:46 <fossxplorer> Guys, what's a good ARM device to run simple Linux tasks with nowadays?

11:46 <orly_owl> something with a10 or a20 soc usually

11:46 <orly_owl> #linux-sunxi is the channel for that

11:46 <orly_owl> there is a wiki as well

11:47 <orly_owl> fossxplorer: ^

11:47 <Flashtek> I has a cubietruck

11:47 <orly_owl> thats a nice board

11:47 <Flashtek> A20, 2gb ram, 2gb nand, bt, wifi, sata, uSD

11:47 <Flashtek> optical out, hdmi and vga also

11:47 <Flashtek> and two USB ports

11:48 <fossxplorer> orly_owl, ok

11:49 <Flashtek> there is also #cubieboard for the specific discussion of...

11:50 <fossxplorer> Flashtek, i thought about Truck too, but there is a new one coming?

11:50 <fossxplorer> A8...

11:51 <Flashtek> A80.. not before Christmas (was the last I heard)

11:51 <fossxplorer> Flashtek, but is the C.T stable?

11:51 <fossxplorer> Oh, that's far away then

11:51 <Flashtek> I've not had mine long enough to comment on that

11:51 <fossxplorer> OK

11:51 <Flashtek> like, a week

11:51 <fossxplorer> i see

11:51 <Flashtek> and only got Debian working on it Sat morning

11:52 <fossxplorer> What's your impression so far?

11:52 <fossxplorer> ok, cool.

11:52 <Flashtek> it was a PITA to get a working image... but now I have it, seems good

11:52 <Flashtek> I've attached a 80gb SSD

11:52 <Flashtek> rather cute if you ask me

11:52 <fossxplorer> NIce :)

11:52 <Flashtek> shame it doesn't have an external port for the aerials

11:52 <fossxplorer> WIFI?

11:53 <Flashtek> it has WiFi and Bluetooth

11:53 <fossxplorer> You could use USB Wifi though

11:53 <fossxplorer> yeah, i know, but you meant WIFI antenna?

11:53 <fossxplorer> aerials i.e

11:59 <rz2k> ct has chipantenna

11:59 <rz2k> recommended for this module

12:00 diego_r has joined #arm-netbook

12:00 <rz2k> which is bcm4329 wifi+bt+fm radio combo by some chinese company

12:00 <orly_owl> fossxplorer: a10 and a20 are the better socs right now, the Mali 400 gpu works with free software

12:00 focus has quit [Ping timeout: 255 seconds]

12:08 <fossxplorer> orly_owl, so i could even run Android without GPU issues?

12:11 <orly_owl> hmm well it would run

12:11 <orly_owl> it may not play 1080p video smoothly

12:11 <orly_owl> fossxplorer: there might be some minor issues

12:12 <fossxplorer> Driver or HW-issue?

12:12 <orly_owl> driver

12:12 <mripard_> orly_owl: this only argument is not actually not an argument. The raspberry pi and the latest tegra too. Plus all the qualcomm.

12:13 <orly_owl> come again?

12:14 <mripard_> saying "it's the better soc because it has a free software driver" is just non-sense.

12:14 <mripard_> a lot of other SoCs have free software GPU drivers nowadays.

12:14 <mripard_> some of them backed by the GPU vendors even.

12:15 <fossxplorer> What about RK3188? It's a better SoC than A20 performance wise i guess

12:16 <mripard_> I don't have hard figures, but yeah, given the CPUs involved, it's a reasonable assumption

12:17 <mripard_> however, you'll find fare more easily dev boards based on the sunxi SoCs

12:17 <mripard_> plus the community is actualyl much stronger around the allwinner SoCs

12:21 <fossxplorer> mripard_, like the C.T?

12:23 <mripard_> yeah, or the olinuxinos, or the cubieboard, or the pcduino, etc..

12:27 <fossxplorer> Oky

12:29 <fossxplorer> olimex has quite some boards

12:32 <fossxplorer> Wondering is the 10" from olimex would be usable with C.T

12:32 <fossxplorer> https://www.olimex.com/Products/OLinuXino/A13/A13-LCD10TS/open-source-hardware

12:34 <mripard_> no idea

12:34 * fossxplorer dreams about building a digital photo frame with such a device
