someone should make a lirc driver of that one. The CIR hardware is generic, but driver is hardcoded to one NEC format.

wonder if it also supports CIR transmit or if that's only for IRdA.

guys
<rz2k>
dont register that crap, you will get 98Euro for next year
<rz2k>
go to normal registrar and get domain with transfer and everything, not some $1 stuff from god knows who
<Turl>
namecheap is not $randoms
<rz2k>
still you can sign for some ripoff
<rz2k>
like, you buy $1 domain and pay $50 for next year without right to resign contract
<rm>
nah, renewals are ~$10.6
<rm>
and as it starts to expire you can transfer to whoever you like more, for free (I think)
<rm>
still, I agree that first-year-only discounts suck

I tend to use domain.com, but namecheap is always spoken highly of. I have a friend who has roughly 3k domains with them.

is additional hardware needed to boot other os like ubuntu an an mele a1000/a2000 from the sd card? or just format the card, dd a image on it, put it in the slot of the a1000/2000 and reboot?
<RaYmAn>
you don't need to format since the image will overwrite everything on there (including partition table), but otherwise, you're right.

WarheadsSE: probably a lot of stuff. I don't have any particular need of shrinking it, so I haven't reviewed it deeply.
<WarheadsSE>
Alright mnemoc, I just figured I'd ask as I have seen a few mentions of things not comping up right if they don't load certain modules in the "right" order
<mnemoc>
I only test that stuff compiles and `modprobe` doesn't panic
<mnemoc>
for the rest I trust the community
<WarheadsSE>
:)
<WarheadsSE>
Oh, I understand
<gnexus>
hno: so we should be using ext2 or 3 for the boot partition then. . .
<gnexus>
WarheadsSE: basically anything that is sunxi cant be a module ;(
<gnexus>
mnemoc: sound, video, usb for starters. but wemac works as a module :)
<rm>
markvandenborre, GNU/Linux uses a random MAC address on every boot
<rm>
so if it got the same MAC, chances are it just booted Android
<gnexus>
basically anything with sunxi i tried threw an error when tried as a module
<rm>
can you check if there's video output on the screen (on HDMI, VGA, composite?)
<rm>
and port 5555 sounds like something dumb that android would use
<WarheadsSE>
and rm, it's a simple fix to set the MAC on these.
<rm>
sure
<rm>
but with a fresh image markvandenborre did not apply it I think
hipboi has quit [Read error: Connection reset by peer]
<rm>
so if it was GNU/Linux that booted, he should look for a random new MAC on his network
<rm>
not the Android one
<WarheadsSE>
No, that much I'd agree
<mnemoc>
the common way is to set your MAC inside script.bin
<WarheadsSE>
Another option is to set it via ifconfig/ip but, I'd say the script is easiest.
<rm>
it's not
<gnexus>
menmoc:i can't say vid doesnt work as a module. been afraid to mess with that now.
<rm>
/etc/network/interfaces is easier than editing script.bin
<rm>
considering you also have to find/obtain/compile a tool for encoding/decoding it
<mnemoc>
rm: if you only run one userspace, yes
<WarheadsSE>
bin2fex > sed > fex2bin

<markvandenborre>
hm, right... I'm trying to follow up on the serial console thing
<rm>
is actually being utilized
<WarheadsSE>
it's based on the uboot really
<markvandenborre>
trying to set ttyUSB0 parameters
<WarheadsSE>
minicom or screen?
<markvandenborre>
115200,n,8 you said
<markvandenborre>
the first I know to be the speed with which the serial communication takes place
<markvandenborre>
the last (the "8") has to do with the number of bits per character, right?
<markvandenborre>
and I can set it with cs8?
<WarheadsSE>
cs8 .?
<markvandenborre>
and the n has something to do with parity?
<markvandenborre>
I'm trying to read up on this, but serial communication is entirely new to me....
<markvandenborre>
right now, i've just googled and looked at dmesg and learned that I probably need to
<WarheadsSE>
Ok, which program are you using?
<markvandenborre>
nothing yet, I am just using a generic Debian machine here to try and configure this serial console
<WarheadsSE>
115200 buad, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity, no flow
<WarheadsSE>
see if screen or minicom are installed?
<WarheadsSE>
maybe putty, if you so choose
<markvandenborre>
screen I have installed of course
<WarheadsSE>
K
<markvandenborre>
putty is windows, I don't touch that
<WarheadsSE>
lol, of course that is copy-pasta on the dev name
<markvandenborre>
ok, so now I get a completely empty console
<markvandenborre>
that doesn't seem to accept any input
<WarheadsSE>
Have you got the lines hooked up right?
<markvandenborre>
please don't assume that I know a lot about what I'm doing right now
QingPei has joined #arm-netbook
<markvandenborre>
what I did was take a look at the picture you gave me
<markvandenborre>
and hooked the lines up to the corresponding pins on the board and on the usbttl thingie
<WarheadsSE>
you need to cross tx/rx from one to the other
<WarheadsSE>
tx on board goes to rx on dongle
<markvandenborre>
ah, interesting to know, obvious if you think about it
<markvandenborre>
right, so now I can type something
<markvandenborre>
and it presents me with a password prompt
<markvandenborre>
that's a win I think
<WarheadsSE>
inded
<WarheadsSE>
if it is asking for a password, its likely a linux
<markvandenborre>
it says it is a debian
<markvandenborre>
now I just have to look up what the password is
<markvandenborre>
for this minimal root image
<WarheadsSE>
or you could reboot it, change the bootargs temporarily to init=/bin/bash and just set the password :p
<hno>
markvandenborre, putty is graphical ssh/telnet/serial for Windows & Linux X11.

yeah, going to do some compiling, would like access to more than 300M of the ram.
<mnemoc>
WarheadsSE: try the wip/3.0/mem branch
<mnemoc>
WarheadsSE: there if you disable mali you won't get that memory reserved
<WarheadsSE>
mk
<WarheadsSE>
Yeah, I need mali in a bit, so I guess I'll make due

does anybody have documentation (or know where to find it) about the possible mali kernel parameters?
<j1nx>
like "mali.mem=64M@128M" etc..
<j1nx>
kernel boot parameters, I am talking about
<mnemoc>
that won't work on our current implementation. but sure sounds like a nice goal
<j1nx>
Nah, was just an example, but want to know if we can configure the framebuffer mode at the boot parameters
<mnemoc>
the driver is designed to start from script.bin data and then be configured with ioctl()s
<j1nx>
I want to load the kernel drivers quickly from initrd and then place the boot splash on the framebuffer, but I am failing in understanding the framebuffer parameters
<j1nx>
and for that reason failing to get the boot splash drawed early in the boor process
<Turl>
I don't think you need mali to have a fb though?
<j1nx>
And we are not working with common stuff here, where I can just (mis)use a VESA driver
<j1nx>
or can I?
<Turl>
you can ioctl the disp thing some framebuffer to show it I think
<mnemoc>
Turl: mali has references to the fb address, so i bet it needs it
<j1nx>
(hmm, wonders how snowball is doing it)
<Turl>
look at the video demo stuff, I think it's used there
<Turl>
(cedar stuff)

recommendation for MK802 image?
<WarheadsSE>
linux/android?
<mnemoc>
you can mostly use any image for A10, the key is to use the right script.bin for your device

I use a lot of devices based on their SoCs
<fullofSheds>
every part is broken, they really don't want just anyones money, they even say they aren't set up to write drivers or anything software related
<fullofSheds>
OLPC did manage to get the one SOC working well
<DonkeyHotei>
ZaEarl: i'm going to be trying that after i have a working adb cable for the mele
<WarheadsSE>
We've got several working well...
<fullofSheds>
WarheadsSE, which ones?
<fullofSheds>
old PXA?
<WarheadsSE>
Most of the sheevas & variants
<WarheadsSE>
armadas, etc
<WarheadsSE>
"old" PXA you have to be a bit more specific
<WarheadsSE>
We've got decent support for some of the PXAs, not a tonne of devices with those
<fullofSheds>
nevermind, no real future with marvell anyway
<WarheadsSE>
Some of their new SoCs arent bad. Yeah, the old old PXAs are shit.
<fullofSheds>
DonkeyHotei, maybe he should check with Warheads?
<DonkeyHotei>
no idea; i merely saw that in the archives and pasted to you
* WarheadsSE
looks around
<WarheadsSE>
I might have the stage1 docs somewhere..
