<ncrmnt>
after running into a few really NASTY issues with prebuilt ones - I prefer building them myself
<karlp>
such as?
Astralix has joined #linux-rockchip
ktkd has joined #linux-rockchip
<ncrmnt>
The chip I was working with had some hacks in userspace headers
<ncrmnt>
That defined that very ioctl.
<ktkd>
hi all
<ncrmnt>
as a result my app acted really weird when crosscompiled with linaro.
<ncrmnt>
So as a rule of thumb - when working with a SoC I make a toolchain compiledusing the target's kernel headers
<karlp>
which you got from one of 100 mediafire/randomgithub repos?
<ncrmnt>
Nope. I have a few general-purpose stable tcs for soft and hardfloat, I use for kernel & uboot stuff, but I generally make a new one when it comes to userspace coding.
<ncrmnt>
Besides, sometimes you need particular versions of glibc/gcc/etc. especially when dealing with proprietary blobs.

peter_m: I actually have a ug802 type clone, not an rk3188 type device
<mac->
peter_m: hey man
<mac->
peter_m: then you're saying that pretty possible to run Linux on the device ?
<mac->
Ethernet works, USB works ?
<karlp>
mac-: he just said, "Ethernet does not work"
<mac->
ou
<mac->
shit
<mac->
I didn't cacth
<peter_m>
I used it for 60 days as my main desktop.
<mac->
in euphoria
<mac->
so bad man
<mac->
ethernet is vital
<mac->
the most important
<mac->
shit ....
<peter_m>
keyboards (but not my IBM Model M with my adapter) , mice, sound, harddisks work on USB. Did not try more.
<peter_m>
Ethernet is connected via USB "Bus 002 Device 003: ID 0bda:8179 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. " So I think it should be possible to get it running if you compile your own kernel.
<mac->
hmm
<mac->
interesting
<mac->
then in fact Eth is just USB device ...
<mac->
then it will be extremely unstable as USB is shit in fact
<mac->
I have hard drive connected to Raspberry Pi on USB
<mac->
I didn't try to use it for longer time
<mac->
but experienced strange problems with xfs on it
<mac->
xfs just died
<mac->
I had to change to ext3
<peter_m>
RPi had known problems with USB. I heard they fixed them. USB implementation is the same in RK3188 as in RPi.
