has anyone had any luck getting source code out of Allwinner?
<protoCall7>
I'm about ready to start sending letters to Onda and Allwinner, asking that they honor the GPL and get me the source :-/
<protoCall7>
I highly doubt they care though
<Turl>
protoCall7: what source are you missing?
<protoCall7>
kernel for one
<protoCall7>
but I'd really love to have the full A31s SDK
<Turl>
they're only legally obliged to give you the GPL bits
<Turl>
so kernel and uboot
<protoCall7>
it identifies itself as sun6i, but I'm not sure that the code for the kernel and uboot are the same as the standard A31
<protoCall7>
*nod* but it would sure be nice of them to give us the binary blobs too ;) (not gonna happen, I'm sure)
<libv>
protoCall7: what is it you really want?
<protoCall7>
libv at this point, a datasheet, the kernel sources, and any proprietary modules (no source required on those, of course) would be amazingly helpful
<libv>
protoCall7: helpful for what?

<bbrezillon>
mrnuke: but I should definitely define a nand_ddr_pins
<bbrezillon>
mrnuke: I boot on an SD card
<bbrezillon>
and then use the NAND driver to read/write on the NAND flash
<mrnuke>
so your github branch already has the MMC driver?
hypophthalmus has joined #linux-sunxi
<bbrezillon>
mrnuke: no I meant from u-boot, then I load a ramfs
<bbrezillon>
so that I don't need the MMC driver
<mrnuke>
ooh. I see. I tried to merge your branch locally, and ended up with a kernel that freezes on boot. (probably a PEBKAC here)
<bbrezillon>
but IRC the MMC driver is nearly mainlined, so you should be able to apply MMC patches on top of my branch
<bbrezillon>
you're using a cubietruck ?
<mrnuke>
no. cubieboard. I did however add things to my devicetrees
<bbrezillon>
are you sure about the irq you put in your NAND node ?
<mrnuke>
completely uncertain. Thanks for pointing that out.
<hypophthalmus>
So I'm having trouble with my serial console freezing up on my Mele A1000. It was suggested that the usb module could be bad (although it was brand new). But I tried another one, and it's doing the same thing. Any ideas of what could be wrong / how I can make it more reliable?
<bbrezillon>
mrnuke: wait, I started to define DT nodes for cubieboard
<bbrezillon>
I'll search for these patches :)
<mrnuke>
bbrezillon: I can test, if I am able to boot off MMC. If you need me to test, I can pull in from your github
<bbrezillon>
mrnuke: BTW, you were asking about booting from NAND in u-boot, I'm not sure this will work with the current u-boot + mtd patches
<bbrezillon>
because the ECC layout (ECC bytes placement in the OOB area) is different from the one chosen by yuq when he developped his driver
<bbrezillon>
you were also asking about accesss to boot0 partition, and this is supported (but not much tested) by the last version of my driver (the one you can find on my github)

Good day! I use the cubieboard 2 with the linux-sunxi kernel 3.4.79. We are trying to implement SPI, thus compiled them and added the modules manually. The correct module (spidev) does load, however the expected device /dev/spidev0.0 does not appear. We did compile the User mode SPI device driver support as a module. Has anybody faced this or a similar issue?

mrnuke, Thanks for fixing the devel branch. I'm now booting debian and openwrt with the mainline kernel on my Mele.
<wens>
so in your case, gpio_pin_18 would probably be GPIO 17 in the kernel, which is mapped to PH21
<wens>
then in your driver, you request GPIO 17 from the kernel, using the standard API
<wens>
how you pass the number 17 is another problem
<Seppoz>
lets try sound slike it could work
<wens>
anyway, I've never done this, the above is an educated guess based on the code (drivers/gpio/gpio-sunxi.c)
<wens>
hope you get it working
<Seppoz>
well so far no error
<Seppoz>
and it also triggers

but i think its not setup correct

atleast it looks better than before

ach so
<Turl>

or what Turl says
<ArdaXi>
Turl: I do not have a DISPLAY=:0
akaizen has joined #linux-sunxi

because I have no X running atm

<Turl>
ArdaXi: set X to run automatically on boot or something
<ArdaXi>
Turl: yes, the question here is how to get X to run at all
<Wizzup>
ArdaXi: well, so your command can either also start X, or assume a running X
<ArdaXi>
because right now it wants to run xterm
<Wizzup>
ArdaXi: like I said- xinitrc
<ArdaXi>
put what in .xinitrc?
<Wizzup>
mpv foo
<akaizen>
Hey Turl, are you still working on Android stuff for Allwinner/A20?
<ArdaXi>
Wizzup: but I don't want _one_ foo
<Wizzup>
ArdaXi: basically, you need something in xinitrc to make sure X doesn't stop
<Turl>
akaizen: not actively, but the code is still on github
<Wizzup>
which can be "awesome" as well
<Wizzup>
or dwm
<ArdaXi>
I just want to be able to run "command <file>" and have that file start playing
<Wizzup>
ArdaXi: so X needs to be running with something, ideally a window manager
<Turl>
akaizen: feel free to ask questions if you have doubts or anything
<ArdaXi>
normally, this wouldn't require X at all
<ArdaXi>
mplayer can run on the framebuffer on normal linux
<akaizen>
Turl: awesome, can you point me to the repo, I'd like to kickstart activity up again
<Turl>
ArdaXi: vdpau requires X though
<ArdaXi>
Turl: then why does XBMC on the framebuffer work on sunxi?
<Wizzup>
ArdaXi: does it use vdpau or openmax? :)
<Wizzup>
It probably uses openmax then, with the android-hack

ah, okay, so I want to figure out how to get mplayer to do that then

Turl: I have an A31 device thats relatively stable but overheats, I have an A20 that doesnt overheat but the WiFi and system is not as stable... is it possible to back port it?
<akaizen>
or would it be easier to use the opensource stuff on github?
<Turl>
well, they're two completely different systems, one of them is sun6i and the other sun7i
<Turl>
the driver could be backported, yeah, but you need the kernel source to rebuild it
<Turl>
although your descriptions of the issue sound mostly like hardware design flaws though

ArdaXi: VDPAU needs integration with the native window system, similar to EGL / OpenGL ES
<akaizen>
TurL: is there a way to turn off cores to prevent overheating?
<ssvb>
ArdaXi: I guess one can make framebuffer based and Wayland based VDPAU, but as Turl mentioned, you will have to patch the video players too
<ssvb>
ArdaXi: and VDPAU is relatively simple, just because it has a shortcut to display
<Turl>
akaizen: yeah, you can offline cores via sysfs
<ArdaXi>
ssvb: sounds like a fun project
<ArdaXi>
when... I have time
<akaizen>
I tried echo "0" > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu#/online
<ssvb>
ArdaXi: with a pure video decoder producing output into a memory buffer, you would have some major performance problems copying this buffer to have it shown on the screen
<akaizen>
and then chmod 0444 but that did not seem to work
<ArdaXi>
ssvb: can't you have it produce directly to the framebuffer?
<Turl>
akaizen: that should be the way to do it
<Turl>
akaizen: the governor may be trying to online them again shortly thereafter though
<akaizen>
Do you know if the A31(s) KitKat SDK is public anywhere?
<Turl>
akaizen: dunno
