00:00 <IgorPec> well, that should not be diffucult to push up to recent kernel

00:00 <IgorPec> if that is desired

00:01 <IgorPec> i must admit that i don't know much about Xilinx in general

00:01 <tparys> u-boot may be different. there's hooks to load FPGA image. Not sure how many custom things they did.

00:02 <IgorPec> diff it :)

00:03 <tparys> the Zynq SoC is also the basis of other interesting compute boards: https://www.parallella.org/

00:04 <IgorPec> yeah, we already received request "to port Armbian to it" :)

00:04 <IgorPec> amateur reqests ofc

00:06 <IgorPec> but yeah, interesting hw

00:08 <tparys> Well, it's the same SoC, which I'm sure has a very similar boot sequence

00:09 <tparys> and the Zynq kernel build has the Parallela DTB?

00:10 <tparys> and regarding u-boot diffs, I did a quick commit count, and stopped at the end of the first page

00:12 <IgorPec> u-boot is usually a total mess

00:12 <IgorPec> moving to mainline is "forget about" already for many much more popular sw where developers count is more then just a few

00:13 <IgorPec> kernel is less problematic

00:14 <IgorPec> ok, must crash. its past 2am for me :)

00:14 <tparys> that's right, you're in Europe. later.

00:15 <IgorPec> yeah

02:38 <poddmo> is /etc/network/interfaces the right place to put vlan config?

07:23 <IgorPec> martinayotte: do you own sopine64 perhaps?

07:58 <nathann> Hi, I have faced a small problem while compilling armbian for the S905X. I get the .img but when i burn it with RUFUS on the sd card everything end up in one ext4 partition that the board is not able to read (it's expecting a FAT partition) I can't seem to find much about this on the internet so i might have missed something trivial

07:59 <nathann> does anybody know a way to modify the .img such that the boot folder is in a FAT partition and the rest stay in the EXT4 as it is usually the case with other linux image like ubuntu or raspbian

08:00 <nathann> I tried to make two partition manually and set the boot flag on the FAT one and then copy the file but i loose some simlink which i believe is not good-

10:14 <ArmbianTwitter> @maidenbartok (David Lake): @Raspberry_Pi The problem with the current PI is it's just too expensive. UK price 8G Pi4 £73! It should be £55 to match US$77. Plus there is so much ARMbian-based competition that is cheaper from China. PLEASE drop the prices! https://tinyurl.com/yj5vyrt4 (12s ago)

10:53 <ArmbianTwitter> @armbian (armbian): RT @pdp7: Great talk from Tim Bird on the current state of Embedded Linux https://t.co/lDzWHP5Ey9 https://t.co/ZWRJjOwr3c https://tinyurl.com/yzbhka7y https://tinyurl.com/yz83egk5 (15s ago)

10:54 <IgorPec> nathann: where did you find armbian for s905x?

10:55 <nathann> I git clone https://github.com/armbian/build then ran ./compile.sh

10:55 <nathann> Selected the Full OS image using pre compiled package from armbian repo

10:56 <nathann> then show CSC/WIP/EOS/TVB and there i have my board

10:56 <nathann> (kvim1)

10:56 <nathann> i used the current image on focal (supported)

10:57 <nathann> and made a server image (witouth desktop) and waiter 30 minutes

10:57 <nathann> took the .img from under output

11:01 <kprasadvnsi[m]> Anybody tested AC200 patch for allwinner H6? I know they apply it at kernel build but can't find any device actually using it.

11:02 <IgorPec> ahaa

11:02 <kprasadvnsi[m]> I enabled it in the device tree and the driver failed to probe the AC200 device

11:03 <IgorPec> well, CSC targets are community additions. no idea if they work

11:03 <IgorPec> absence of FAT partition is usually not a problem

11:04 <IgorPec> most of bootloaders knows how to handle that

11:04 <IgorPec> kprasadvnsi[m]: can you sent a link to patch

11:04 <kprasadvnsi[m]> I am testing it on OPi3 for my audio codec driver

11:04 <nathann> well when i trid to boot the picture i get "No valid FAT partition detected" so i would like to find a way to fix it

11:05 <IgorPec> nathann: you can change to fat boot but its some work

11:05 <IgorPec> https://github.com/armbian/build/blob/master/config/boards/odroidc1.csc#L7-L8

11:05 <nathann> would you happen to have a link to some documentation reagarding the procedure ?

11:06 <IgorPec> regarding build system, you need to add those two lines to the board config

11:06 <IgorPec> BOOTSIZE and BOOTFS_TYPE

11:06 <nathann> i will try. thank you ^^

11:06 <IgorPec> then bootloader / bootscript has to know how to load from fat

11:07 <IgorPec> that is usually packed to u-boot

11:08 <nathann> i edited the two line in the .csc for my board but you list me at the u-boot part

11:08 <nathann> list = lost

11:11 <nathann> so in the u-boot folder the is a bootscript that i have to edit such that he can read the partition ?

11:15 <kprasadvnsi[m]> <IgorPec "kprasadvnsi: can you sent a link"> I made a mistake. its not a patch. the AC200 source is a part of the linux repo armbian is using.

11:15 <IgorPec> nathann: i don't know. that's is very hw specific

11:16 <nathann> okay. i will dig thanks for you help ^^

11:16 <IgorPec> kprasadvnsi[m]: no, i haven't expiriment with ac200 yet

14:25 <martinayotte> IgorPec: no, I don't have sopine, only a pine64 sbc or olinuxino-a64.

14:35 <IgorPec> ok. we have this weirdness https://forum.armbian.com/topic/17333-unable-to-boot-focal-or-buster-images-on-sopine-clusterboard/?tab=comments#comment-121737

14:44 <buZz> dtb bug for that baseboard?

14:46 <IgorPec> yes most likely

14:47 <buZz> weird, someone posted a diff on that thread but its empty?

16:19 <ArmbianTwitter> @maidenbartok (David Lake): @Shan_nav @CryptoAStick @Raspberry_Pi That's the problem. EVERYTHING is about 30% cheaper. For the low-end stuff, it is much cheaper to import ARMBian (e.g. ZeroPI/NanoPI) from China than buy RPi. Why? Is our cost-base that much higher? https://tinyurl.com/ye2pqfv3 (10s ago)

21:50 <nathann> IgorPec I managed to get armbian running. basically i had a custom firmware on the box that didnt supported booting from SD at all. but after flashing a stock android ROM using amlogic burn tool i could use the standard armbian image with everything in one ext4 partition on a sd card

21:50 <nathann> i will now try to install the system in the flash. if anybody know somwthing about this i would be glad to hear it
