Does that mean it has fewer calories?

has it got cocaine in it?

I'm sure I read somewhere that cocaine is mostly ineffective if you eat it.

is there anything special i need to do to make sound work on A10 with debian armhf? i'm not sure if there's a module i need to modprobe for alsa/pulseaudio to work or what

or make them builtin when building the kernel

so I needed the next-mali kernel but now xbmc is working perfect
<sv>
did you compile it yourself
<drachensun>
yup, on the device
<drachensun>
took awhile
<sv>
what does next_mali have above the current mali/mali_drm
<drachensun>
I'm not sure exactly but I was getting "EGL failed to initialize" with the sunxi-3.0
<drachensun>
the stage/sunxi-3.0 might work too, I thought I was trying it but my copy script had a bug so I'm not sure if it failed or I was still using the stable kernel
<Turl>
stage/ has next_mali inside

Sv: ARM released new drm drivers with stuff from 2004 era
<rz2k>
like drm_calloc();
<rz2k>
so previous versions should work up to r3p1-rel0
<rz2k>
drachensun: are you sure you either did chmod 777 /dev/ump && /dev/mali or created a rule for udev so it will do it automaticly?
<drachensun>
yeah, the stage kernel is probably fine, I'm pretty sure I wasn't really testing it when I thought I was.
<drachensun>
rz2k: yeah, I have a script doing that and its working

i'm going to try the stage kernel

<asdftrip>
is the mkbootimg on your ftp valid for A10?
<lundman>
mkbootimg I think I got from apt-get
<asdftrip>
hm
<asdftrip>
can't find it on ubuntu 12.04
<lundman>
or it comes with android sdk
<asdftrip>
i found a package named abootimg that claims it can write /and/ extract boot.img
<asdftrip>
i think i will give that one a try
<lundman>
good luck
<lundman>
the header is not complicated
<asdftrip>
thanks, will report back - also, do you happen to know if the android ramdisk requires any special compression?
<asdftrip>
i might want to edit the one for my tablet but i am not sure about creating the new archive
<lundman>
nah, i took theirs, cpio
<asdftrip>
ok, will research that
<asdftrip>
er, is it normal if my new boot.img is very small?
<asdftrip>
it seems the ramdisk is only 533 kb in size
<libv>
hrm, mmc is always shaky with me it seems
<libv>
same toolchain and same u-boot though
<asdftrip>
seems i did something wrong, the tablet is stuck on the first boot logo
<asdftrip>
oh well, time to restore backups i guess
<lundman>
ramdisk is usually just busybox and init script to mount the real root
<libv>
hrm, this new reboot it is much more stable... strange
tuliom has quit [Ping timeout: 245 seconds]
<asdftrip>
i am wondering why it was stuck at the first boot logo
<asdftrip>
... there might be something wrong with the ramdisk after all, since the second android logo is in there i believe
<asdftrip>
the .rle file
<lundman>
did you set the boot address correctly?
<asdftrip>
if i recall correctly it was the same as the original (as reported after make)
<lundman>
android, you did make with sun4i_crane_defconfig?
<asdftrip>
yep
<lundman>
huh
<asdftrip>
the only issue i can imagine...
<asdftrip>
make returned an error inside kpanic.c
<asdftrip>
i am guessing related to android kernel panic handling
<lundman>
I had toenable ATAG to boot linux, or it would stop
<asdftrip>
i could not find the appropriate parameter in config to disable it
<asdftrip>
so i commented out the line in the source file
<asdftrip>
after that make completed succesfully
<asdftrip>
perhaps it still tries to initialize kpanic?
<asdftrip>
as for atag, i believe it was enabled

<asdftrip>
and figure out what went wrong
tmerle has quit [Ping timeout: 276 seconds]
<asdftrip>
what i know for sure is that ROMs flashed with custom recoveries do not modify the nanda partition, so they probably don't change the boot address either
popolon has joined #arm-netbook
andrew_ has joined #arm-netbook
<asdftrip>
okay, i saw what happened
<asdftrip>
during the boot process, bImage is no longer loaded as per tutorials online
<asdftrip>
now the tablet actually loads u-boot
<asdftrip>
which means i should probably compile it as well before i can run my own kernel
<lundman>
android loads 2 uboots, then kernel, or something
<asdftrip>
i had followed the boot process on rhombus-tech

what device and what do you have? :)
<Hexxeh>
device is a nexus 7
<Hexxeh>
i just have a regular microusb cable
<RaYmAn>
I haven't gotten around to testing it yet, but it should be possible to get serial over the uart port
<Hexxeh>
got a usb otg cable on order, but it'll take like a week to arrive

acccording to kernel source anyways

fbcon doesn't work?

not yet
<libv>
so a usb keyboard doesn't work either?

<RaYmAn>
actually

you have a regular usb cable to host, yes?
<Hexxeh>
yeah
<libv>
ok :)
<RaYmAn>
setup kernel to do cdc or serial gadget
<RaYmAn>
instead of android gadget
<RaYmAn>
then make your init setup console on that
<Hexxeh>
i uh, have no idea how to do that :P
<Hexxeh>
basically trying to do chromium os for tegra 3 devices
<RaYmAn>
step 1 is change kernel config in usb gadget setup
<Hexxeh>
but this happens to be the only tegra 3 device i have handy
<libv>
Hexxeh: give up!
<libv>
Hexxeh: and send it to some guy in norway who will hack tegra3 and who will be very grateful :p
<RaYmAn>
Hexxeh: basically setup serial gadget (Documentation/usb/gadget_serial.txt )
<RaYmAn>
and make sure you setup something to listen on that serial port
<Hexxeh>
downloading kernel source now
<RaYmAn>
then you should be able to just connect from host pc
<Gumboot>
Does the whole L4T thing not cover ChromeOS? I thought I saw something about it in there, but I really wasn't paying attention.
<Gumboot>
Maybe it was Android. I just remember seeing two options.
<RaYmAn>
the tegra3 device tree in chromeos does use the L4T drivers.
<RaYmAn>
waluigi
<RaYmAn>
nvidia kernels & drivers are rather...particular about versions. Every last revision seems to break binary drivers :/ which kind of kills community support a lot.
<Gumboot>
OK, initially that looks like a cat jumped on your keyboard, but it's a Nintendo thing, right?
<RaYmAn>
It's a google thing presumably
<RaYmAn>
some device codenamed waluigi
<Gumboot>
Yeah, waluigi as in Wario and Waluigi -- some kind of bad versions of Mario and Luigi.
<libv>
even though the nightly builds are broken, i want to give them a go to have some solid starting point for testing my mmc
<libv>
is there any info on what image does what?
<libv>
yergh, 7z

RaYmAn: okay, built with that option enabled, what device does it appear as that I can spawn a shell on?
<RaYmAn>
I'm guessing it is in the documentation .txt I pointed to - I don't remember

looks like it's ttyGS0 on device and ttyACMX on host

just put in a small 1-byte file
<RaYmAn>
kernel doesn't seem to care
<Hexxeh>
nah, it's failing to boot and dropping me to busybox
<RaYmAn>
on tf201, the bootloader is buggy, so that if you don't include a ramdisk, it fails
<Hexxeh>
host machine is showing the serial device though which is a good sign
<RaYmAn>
oh, so you can build a bootimage, it just doesn't work, or?
<Hexxeh>
yeah
<RaYmAn>
well, as I said, I had huge issues on tf201 with empty ramdisk. Using a 1-byte ramdisk fixes it
<RaYmAn>
(literally nothing happens if you don't have a ramdisk *sigh*)
<Hexxeh>
trying that now
<Hexxeh>
it's failing to mount root and bailing
<Hexxeh>
does fastboot choke on large files?
<Hexxeh>
my userdata image is like 800MB

Hexxeh: it used to, at least on some devices
<Hexxeh>
any workaround?
<Turl>
well, there was a fastboot that did partial uploads for my motorola, but no idea if that required bootloader support or something
<Turl>
Hexxeh: what device are you working on?
<Hexxeh>
nexus 7
<Turl>
can't you use dd? :P
<Hexxeh>
to what? :P
<Hexxeh>
all i have is fastboot
<Turl>
fastboot flash a recovery
<Turl>
then boot into it and dd whatever partition you need
<Hexxeh>
hmm, i need to keep this install process simple for people though
freakazoid0223 has joined #arm-netbook
<Hexxeh>
btw, how do you repartition these devices?
<Hexxeh>
it'd be useful to split userdata into two partitions
<RaYmAn>
without nvflash it's a bit annoying
<Hexxeh>
eh, i'll leave that and use my hack then
<RaYmAn>
tbh, if you want to go that direction, I'd say just stuff an LVM on top of userdata
<Hexxeh>
well i can squeeze cros into two partitions
<Hexxeh>
and 1 with some patches
<Hexxeh>
minimum is really a root and a stateful
<Hexxeh>
but if the root is rw you can make stateful a loop mounted file on the root
<Turl>
don't you have a system partition though?
<Hexxeh>
i do, not using it atm
<Hexxeh>
thinking of using it to cache updates on
* RaYmAn
wishes google would let us have nvflash on n7 :(
<Hexxeh>
it doesn't work?
<RaYmAn>
it's locked down.
<Hexxeh>
SBK?
<RaYmAn>
yeah
<Hexxeh>
is it device specific?
<RaYmAn>
not sure
<RaYmAn>
but given it is on e.g. tf201, I'd imagine it would be per-device

<RaYmAn>
As far as I have gathered, it's usually set during provisioning (Except samsung who was clevar enough to set it after release through a publicly released bootloader ;))

K, and using evtouch?
<drachensun>
I dont think so
<drachensun>
will that do it?
<WarheadsSE>
it think that is more designed for touch usage as such
<WarheadsSE>
I dont have any touch screens myself :/
<WarheadsSE>
at the moment at least
<drachensun>
ok, worth a try
<WarheadsSE>
or at least a look
<WarheadsSE>
one more part of X11 to config.
<drachensun>
I had the modify the driver to perform inverts as specified in the fex file and I read on miniand another guy fixed that with evtouch, so it would be a good thing to have working
<drachensun>
ugh yeah
<drachensun>
I was trying to get the screen to rotate with xrandr, wasted hours and no luck
<drachensun>
I can rotate it in the xorg.conf but not on the fly
<drachensun>
so no using the g sensor yet
<WarheadsSE>
I need to get back to the Mele soon
<drachensun>
its been pretty exciting lately, getting xbmc was big too me.
<drachensun>
its streaming online videos and everything

acronym
<techn_>
thanks
<WarheadsSE>
techn_: np
<WarheadsSE>
you'd be surprised the occasional noob that freaks out
<WarheadsSE>
think they must have some nasty hacker on their network because their router is displaying "alarm"
<techn_>
:D
<jlj>
will it be possible to boot any allwinner A10 system using a single image at some point?
<jlj>
seems a lot of them are really similar, but still require different distributions..ie script.bin and stuff
<jlj>
would be neat
<drachensun>
I doubt the script.bin is going away, it defines physical differences between the boards and there are lot of different ones running around
<jlj>
was hoping it maybe could be auto generated at boot or something like that
<jlj>
but guess the script.bins are here to stay huh.. oh well they work I guess
<drachensun>
well there is a theory the live suit program can autoprobe the settings somehow
<techn_>
jlj: I think current solution is to have general rootfs and hwpack which is device specific
<drachensun>
if so, that would mean it might possible to do the same
<jlj>
drachensun: that would be nice
<jlj>
techn_: yeah I've seen that in some distros. some just seem to have large .imgs for each device type though.

mnemoc: the sata fix is overclocking my mali >.<
<techn_>
Turl: my mali runs @400Mhz
<techn_>
on mini-x
<Turl>
yeah that's 'overclocked' :(
<Turl>
causes it to fail after a while of GL ops
<Turl>
at 320Mhz (ie, before sata patch) it works fine
<libv>
techn_: i am pretty happy with my disp changes atm, things are much more logical, and much cleaner. it will be a big break though
<libv>
i am currently struggling with getting mmc stable on the mele, and trying to debug things
<libv>
who here is currently actively building and running (stage/)sunxi-3.0 on a mele?
<Turl>
mali is sourced from pll4
<libv>
what toolchain, what u-boot, what fex, etc...
<Turl>
libv: I ran both 3.0 and 3.4 on mele, it worked fine
<libv>
Turl: toolchain, u-boot version?
<Turl>
toolchain.. arm-eabi- 4.4.3 from android prebuilts tree
<Turl>
uboot, the prebuilt one hno has on its website
<libv>
i have the lkcl ubuntu image running stable (armel), but my armhf direct build has a very shaky mmc
<Turl>
fex, whatever came in it iirc
<techn_>
libv, I'm using sunxi-bsp with mini-x and a13_mid
<techn_>
toolchain 4.6.3 linaro
<libv>
ok, so the first thing to try would be armel?
<techn_>
my u-boot is armel.. rootfs/kernel armhf
<libv>
ok?
<techn_>
no problems
* libv
goes and tries that one
<techn_>
full setup is linaro alip + hwpack build with sunxi-bsp where linux branch is changed to stage
<libv>
techn_: how are you not running into linking issues with your hf toolchain?
<libv>
on uboot
<techn_>
I'm using armel u-boot
<libv>
so you built against a completely different toolchain
<techn_>
everthing else is armhf
<libv>
than against which you built the kernel
<Turl>
techn_: were you hit by 'the sata issue' previously?
L84Supper has quit [Quit: puff of smoke]
<techn_>
Turl: no I don't have sata on my devices
<techn_>
Ok.. sata is on chip but still didn't have any issues
<libv>
techn_: if you build uboot with -soft-float against the linaro armhf toolchain, it refuses to link against the libgcc.a in that toolchain
<libv>
techn_: so you must've built your uboot against a different toolchain
<techn_>
libv: oh.. I have armel separate toolchain
<libv>
ok
<techn_>
*separate armel :)
<libv>
:)
* libv
grabs the last linaro armel toolchain and tries uboot with that

how are we on installing to nand? can we install and run Linux from nand?
<hno>
libv, I build u-boot using the linary bare-metal toolchain.
<libv>
hno: so hf?
<hno>
s/ry/ro/
<ibot>
hno meant: libv, I build u-boot using the linaro bare-metal toolchain.
<hno>
libv, no, soft. GCC supports both.
<libv>
yes, but then linking falls over
<hno>
but for some reason the armhf toolchain picks up the wrong libs.
<libv>
ok
<libv>
so "bare-metal" is a special version
<libv>
(it is kind of a dubious statement and bad naming then :))
<libv>
or?
<hno>
Hmm.. probably the bare-metal toolchain is soft-float by default even. Have never investigated in detail.
<libv>
well, the el/hf mix so far is not working well for me, but creating the sd from scratch now
<hno>
The gcc-linaro-arm-linux-gnueabihf is supposed to work as well, but something is confused and it picks the wrong gcc libraries at linking.
<Gumboot>
Does u-boot actually use floating-point code?
<Gumboot>
I guess that's not an issue, is it. The linker will fall to pieces whether it's relevant or not.
<Gumboot>
Is there a tool to scratch that information out of the objects so that things can just be got-on-with?
cat_x301 has quit [Ping timeout: 260 seconds]
<Turl>
hno: it probably lacks the softfp libs
<Turl>
like when you use -m32 without gcc-multilib
<Gumboot>
I remember seeing the command line option to point the linker at the right files, and was really pleased to finally have that mystery solved, but I then forgot what it was and where I saw it.
<Turl>
try installing gcc-multilib package if you're building on linaro
<libv>
heh, i do not know what of my poking made it different, will now try again with hf
<libv>
mmc seems ok now
<libv>
uboot is now armel, image is alip though as i was tired of waiting for the full image to be copied over to the sdcard
<libv>
day and night difference though, cpufreq at 'ondemand' seems very fast to 'performance'
<hno>
Turl, no, it has the softfp libs, but it's nearly impossible to make it select them.
