oh and an mmc reader :)
<JohnDoe_71Rus>
mmc reader can be high speed
<mnemoc>
arokux: about the power thing, isn't it just about changing the code to see if there is a power pio, set a has_power variable and replace the #ifdef with that?
<codekipper>
I can't seem to get it working with my xbmc build. The modules are compiled and added but I don't see any switching from hdmi in the logs
<codekipper>
too be honest I don't really trust my xbmc build.

mnemoc: in 3.4 or in mainlien?
<arokux>
oliv3r: 3.4, it is issue with wrong wiring on hackberry...
<mnemoc>
oliv3r: 3.4
<mnemoc>
mainline needs to handle the power pin differently
<mnemoc>
but it needs to handle it
<arokux>
mnemoc: btw, how can one see if "there is power pio"?
<mnemoc>
check that the section has that properly, and that it's of type gpio
<arokux>
mnemoc: hm.. the settings are the same in all fex and have that property, but with hackberry the hardware is strange
<mnemoc>
i'm working on migrating drivers to the "new" script parsing API and a generic device handler, but not there yet
<mnemoc>
arokux: but the "fix" is to remove a define.... instead of that define make an if (has_power_thingy) and then let's try to finger out when to enable it based on the fex section data
<mnemoc>
even if we have to invent a new field
<arokux>
mnemoc: I see. adding something *new* into fex could of course help
<mnemoc>
arokux: ethernet had the same #define NEEDS_POWER_OR_SIMILAR thing
<arokux>
+1
<mnemoc>
arokux: and we had the same issue until we alterned the driver to use the existance of _power in .fex to decide
<mnemoc>
also with the hackberry :p
<arokux>
imho, we should stick to the single "brand", like sunxi, everybody knows it already, introducing aw16xx will cause only confusion
<mnemoc>
Turl: good. now the other to generate a sunxi favicon :p
<mnemoc>
totally agree. in mainline it's already mach-sunxi, not mach-aw
<arokux>
mnemoc: i'm not sure it is similar. ethernet just needs power to be enabled, in the case of the usb issue there is a "workaround" needed
<mnemoc>
and we all tell sunx6i, not aw1653 (or whatever)
<mnemoc>
arokux: workarounds are fine, but .fex/.dts driven
<arokux>
mnemoc: yep, I just wanted to emphasize that this seems to be different from emac
<mnemoc>
:)
<Turl>
the AW16XX was just for fun :p I didn't intend to use it
<arokux>
we say sun6i, not sunx6i :p
<mnemoc>
for me it's similar because it's about vendors hardcoding crap into their private trees
<Turl>
mnemoc: you just need me to export on 32x32?
<mnemoc>
arokux: err. typo :p
<mnemoc>
Turl: there are two .svgs to keep the text readable in 32x32
<mnemoc>
(less black margin)
<arokux>
mnemoc: I think hackberry guys never hardcoded something, the buggy kernel just happened to work for their buggy hardware -- this is my feeling.
<arokux>
what about just a black chip for favicon?
<mnemoc>
also fair
<mnemoc>
or [x] :p
<arokux>
do not really want to have AW, this distracts from our brand: sunxi
<mnemoc>
to make it less boring
<mnemoc>
X ?
<arokux>
why X?
<mnemoc>
sunNi -> sunxi ... X
<mnemoc>
and less boring than a black chip
<arokux>
not sure, but probably better than S

e.g. iteadstudio has just released their cheaper than cubie, cubie like board - but support and info is really really crap http://blog.iteadstudio.com/

the main pins are i believe 0.1" arduino compatible - the sub board header pins is very tiny - smaller than 2mm

sweet
<buZz>
thats really annoying on cubieboard
<buZz>
that the pins are 0.1mm apart, instead of the breadboard friendly 0.1"
<focus>
buZz: these kinds of connectors easily damaged - there is a u shape metal part in the socket that grips the pin - easily works itself loose and causes misconnections all of the time
<focus>
some really expensive connectors use full wrap around socket metal parts - they be best

has linux got e-ink drivers?
<focus_it>
it seems to be a simple 8 bit bus type of display - same as TFT RGB except just one color
<focus_it>

<focus_it>
these things are nearly out of patent

i want color e-ink!
<focus_it>
wall sized displays possible - even if it updates slowly who cares?!?!?!?
<oliv3r>
focus_it: how much longer you recon?
<oliv3r>
yeah e-ink is great
<oliv3r>
slow updates don't matter
<focus_it>
easy to make colour e-ink
<focus_it>
each pixel is a mix of black ink + oil + white ink and two conductive plates on either side of the pixel
<focus_it>
the black ink is charged positive and white ink is negative. When the plates charge up one way, the black ink shows, and when it changes opposite way the white ink shows
<focus_it>
easy enough to replace the black with any pigment
<focus_it>
they have color e-ink
<focus_it>
even when powered off, the e-ink retains its previous colour
<focus_it>
so it is possible to make wall size eink displays and even if update is slow, it matters not
<focus_it>
easier than watching paint dry :)
gdo has joined #linux-sunxi
<focus_it>
the eink 5" modules are $25 and i reckon it can be driven with standard lcd pins with some minor adjustment to electronics - adjust the color so that only one color is used say red - and then it will come out of the lcd controller on an A10 and drive the eink more or less directly
<focus_it>
or alternatively send data to a simple arm cortex and it can drive the e-ink
<focus_it>
updates are slow - but who cares? its meant to be slow
<focus_it>
about 2W when page is changing, minimal current otherwise
<Turl>
focus_it: isn't eink 0-power when not changing?

fredy has quit [Excess Flood]
<Skaag>
the problem with wall size e-ink sheets, if the resolution is high, is with the speed of transitioning the bubbles
<oliv3r>
focus_it: i know all about e-ink ;) what i read, is they do color via color filters infront of the black/white 'pixels' not pigmented pixels
<focus_it>
oliv3r: us patent system is fscked - even if all the patents are finished some to rag will try to 're-patent' it
<oliv3r>
aye
<Skaag>
right, the way to do this is to invent a different method of changing the color properties of a globule
<focus_it>
oliv3r: that seems a bit silly - it must be easier I guess - no need to develop 3 inks - just the one ink and let the filters do the work :)
fredy has joined #linux-sunxi
<Turl>
you can put 3 inks + white on the place of a single old ink and make pentileink :P
<Skaag>
there are 3 sheets
<Skaag>
the middle sheet contains the bubbles
<Skaag>
for doing color without filters, you'd have to be able to "print" those bubbles onto the sheet, in a predetermined pattern
<Skaag>
and that's not yet possible
<focus_it>
Skaag: the slime balls will never give up - they will go on to patent 'e-ink fonts' next and method of updating a font or method of drawing a line etc...
<Skaag>
well it is possible but I guess expensive
<focus_it>
Skaag: it should be disallowed - if you can do it with LCD, then it is obvious to anyone practicing the art - well except to fscked up toe rags in us patenting system
<focus_it>
:)
<Skaag>
well, I can understand the fears of companies with patents
<Skaag>
I met my lawyer a few weeks ago... he said if I don't patent what I'm doing, I am exposing myself to someone else coming and suing me
<Skaag>
but if I patent it and it is accepted, then I have leverage
<Skaag>
in other words, even if you're not planing to troll with a patent, it acts as some sort of "shield"
<Skaag>
so for example ubuntu's approach of buying patents, and applying for patents, to protect the open source community from prosecution, is a good idea
<focus_it>
Skaag: in the US you might be - in most other countries a patent is a like a gentleman's agreement - its something you own to protect your business - its not something you use to attack other businesses with
<Skaag>
they are buying leverage for the open source community
<kz1>
it only works if you are big enough to pursue the offender.

well, trolling is something that's currently being taken care of in the US

Skaag: read it carefully - it actually protects the big companies from suits - because now they get to know which inventor to sue!!!!!!!
<Skaag>
everybody knows it needs to be stopped, they are just working on the mechanics now, but once they do, patent trolling will be gone
<Skaag>
I believe in introducing "use it or lose it" provisions
<Skaag>
company has to show the patent administration plans to use the patent, with schedules, and they have to comply with that schedule, or they risk losing the patent

my idea is that a patent holder should not have to do anything after patenting - if someone wants to build something, they pay a blind license fee and that will be the end of it
<focus_it>
patent holders should not be allowed to control the markets or other businesses
<kz1>
focus_it: that could work because currently alot of companies (governement agencies) just steal the ideas anyway
<focus_it>
the patent holder is given like 2% by anyone wishing to license their product - there should no way the patent holder be given more rights to control what others do
<kz1>
it's hard for a little guy to chase a govt agency

and then they will at least get some cash instead of none
<focus_it>
i was going to suggest the government collects the 2% and keeps 30% tax and 70% goes to the inventor - really really generous me thinks!
<focus_it>
and government can be fierce in its revenue collection - after all they get 30% of the loot!!!!!!!!!!!!!
<kz1>
yeah but they will tax the 70% anyway
<focus_it>
they currently tax 40% - so lets get it reduced to 30% so that 70% is kept by the inventor - its better off in their hands to do more product development
<focus_it>
and grow the economy

I guess it will happen if Apple adds it to the app store ;-)

it would be interesting to see the big % of how much of the notal brutto salary of a european ends up in taxes (considering VAT, income, etc)
<mnemoc>
s/notal/total/
<mnemoc>
(by total brutto I mean what the employer pays)

if you include student loan repayments, vat, mortgage, fuel, rates, etc… it's getting upto 85% in some countries
<kz1>
places like Norway are reediculous iiuc

guys, sorry if this is dense, but [how] can I flash the OS using linux just like the pheonix suit app does on m$?

montjoie[home]: :D

tomorow comes the bench
<mnemoc>
someone should really take https://github.com/Ithamar/awutils over, integrate into sunxi-tools (working together with `fel`) and finish implementing the flashing tool
<mnemoc>
but the free packing/unpacking tools are already working
<kz1>
that was my next question
<kz1>
Do I have to use Livesuit?
<kz1>
actually do I have to go into "fel" mode? I don't have a power switch on this device
<kz1>
it's magnetically controlled
<kz1>
and it's notvery reliable

I could except I also don't have an enter button on this device

One of the buttons does emit the volup event
<kz1>
or maybe it's voldown
<kz1>
either way I can only scroll down but not select
<kz1>
so at the moment I am forced to boot into windows to do an update
<kz1>
how much work is it to finish the integration of awutils and fel with sunxi-tools?
