hi
<harijsme>
i was wondering can i use code written for raspberry pi with my cubieboard?
<harijsme>
or arduino code
<Hukka>
Depends
<harijsme>
for example code to use i2c lcd
<Hukka>
No
<harijsme>
what are the differences that makes it unusable?
<Hukka>
You are aware that arduino is an embedded system with no OS, while cubie runs full linux?
<harijsme>
yes
<harijsme>
i was thinking more about raspberry pi code
<Hukka>
Even then the hardware is different, so the gpio and other low level calls are different, unless using some kind of abstraction library that can handle both platforms
<Hukka>
It's no very clear what low level library it's actually using
deasy has joined #cubieboard
<Hukka>
It might be that i2c-tools is enough
<Hukka>
But also quite likely that you will have to modify the library somehow
<Hukka>
If it's been written only for rpi, it likely has some hard coded things in it
<Hukka>
Stuff like which pins actually have i2c and so on
<Hukka>
But this is just guesswork, I haven't used cubie yet for any low level work
<Hukka>
IIRC cubie/A10 has three i2c ports, but only one is available in the gpio pins, so I guess the kernel sees multiple devices, while only one is really working
<harijsme>
what about if i use serial connection between arduino uno and cubieboard and lcd is connected to arduino, but cubieboard controlls whats beeing displayed on lcd? is that hard to achieve?
<Hukka>
Not any harder
<Hukka>
But do take care and don't fry your cubie
<harijsme>
that python code has option to set i2c adress
<Hukka>
I'm not talking about i2c address, that's a different concept
<Hukka>
That's something you send over the bus, the destination, so to speak
<Hukka>
But even before that you need to activate the right i2c on your device, and more likely than not it's different on cubie than on raspi
<harijsme>
to bad there are no tutorials about this stuff for cubieboard :(
<Hukka>
Cubie's a bit more hc
<Hukka>
But there are pretty good instructions on the elinux wiki

hello, I installed LiveSuit v3.05. It says: Mandatory upgrade firmware step: 1. Click the "Image" button to select the suitable image file. 2. Long press the power key at least 10 seconds to power off the device. 3. Press one key except the power key and do not release. 4. Connect the device to the PC computer. 5. Click power key for about 10 times. 6. Release all key pressed and device will be auto upgraded. 7. Do not detach the device durin
<u1204>
g the upgrade process. 8. If device do not enter upgrade process,try repeating the steps 1 to 7. .. I don't understand, what am I supposed to do in step nr 3? What is that "one key"?

do you think, this could be PRISM relating thing to make shade to Cubie (board) ?
<popolon>
:)
<ttmrichter>
I'm not sure I understand your question. "make shade to Cubie"?
<popolon>
using the name cubi for fake products
<popolon>
and let pass a message about cubi= wrong thing
<ttmrichter>
I don't think the Cubie Board has enough of a profile for that to be a thing.
<popolon>
it's more and more popular ... to the techies.
<popolon>
and I'm especially paranoid :)
<Cylta>
cubie is too small to be interested to PRISM... they would start from RPi..
<popolon>
RPi use US processor
<Cylta>
they are acting massively. skype, outlook, and so.
<Cylta>
what processor does use cubie?
<popolon>
PRISM fight foreign industry, not US industry
* ttmrichter
laughs and laughs and laughs and laughs.
<popolon>
huhu
<Cylta>
they can add some spy modules in US processors easier
<ttmrichter>
Cylta: The Cubie uses the Allwinner A10 or A20 (depends on which board model).
<Cylta>
and they like to spy a lot...
<Cylta>
where allwiner10\20 are from?
<popolon>
China :)
<popolon>
Zhuhai
<Cylta>
so, at least PRISM have no access to china.
thesheff17 has quit [Read error: Operation timed out]
<popolon>
that's one of the reason I like it
<popolon>
Cylta, not so sure
<Cylta>
only china's federal service can do it =) but i think they are better =)
<popolon>
PRISM is everywhre ^^
<ttmrichter>
RPi uses a Broadcom chip. Broadcom is a fabless company so the actual chips ... are probably not made in the USA.
<Cylta>
USA has no power over China.
<popolon>
in the economy power, there is a man that worked at Goldman sachs
<popolon>
but, yes there are some US carriers around china
<popolon>
meaning, not total agreement
<popolon>
;)
<Cylta>
i'm sure china's army are not any weaker.
<ttmrichter>
I am.
<Cylta>
china sold all the dollars recently. (that's very bad for USA, economically)
<ttmrichter>
China's army is huge in manpower, low in training and equipment.
<popolon>
only one young carrier
<popolon>
ttmrichter, false
<ttmrichter>
popolon: True.
<popolon>
they have great fighters airplane now
<popolon>
and lot of weaponry
<popolon>
mainly to defend themselves
<ttmrichter>
China lacks all the logistics support to effectively project the few good pieces of equipment they have (which does include their recent fighter, yes).
<Cylta>
and if USA will attack china, russia may help china.. anyway, USA will not do it.
<popolon>
they managed to throw away most invading countries (US, japan, uk, france, Russia...), half century ago
<ttmrichter>
The USA may be driven to it if China keeps kicking its ass economically.
<popolon>
well, if china don't help usa, there is no more us economy
<ttmrichter>
Uh... China threw off the Japanese because of US help. I know the state authorities really hate it when you say that, but it's nonetheless true.
<Cylta>
USA dollar is worthless, everybody knows it. they just are not ready to accept it.
<Cylta>
it's not a real "economical attack" from china. it's just logical step.
<buZz>
i like how #cubieboard is changing to #theworldsucks
<popolon>
ttmrichter, US + national party + communist party
<popolon>
huhu
<Cylta>
buZz: why not =)
seele has quit [Ping timeout: 264 seconds]
<ttmrichter>
The Communist Party was one of the things that slowed down the Japanese being thrown out.
<popolon>
buZz, but, the world really sucks, didn't you known ?
<ttmrichter>
It's hard to fight an external enemy effectively when you're busy punching yourself in the face.
<popolon>
ttmrichter, but on the other side, nationalist party made lot of agreement with japan
<popolon>
that one of the reason communist party get do much people behind in china
<ttmrichter>
Yeah, after they got their asses handed to them (again because of self-face-punching) and before the influx of outside aid happened.
<popolon>
s/do/so
<ttmrichter>
The CCP got the people behind it because it talked a good talk about caring for the people while the Guomindang was busy screwing over those same people.
<popolon>
not only
<buZz>
dudes, stop worrying, all life is just a simulation running in a simulation in a simulation on a phone on some teenager in another universe
<buZz>
simstoneage
<buZz>
probably that universe is also a simulation
<popolon>
, also because guomindang, didn't stop slavery, feodalism and warlords
<ttmrichter>
buZz: That would explain why politicians are so childish.
<ttmrichter>
popolon: That was my point. "Screwing over those same people."
<buZz>
and why there are so strict limits to laws of physics
<ttmrichter>
Stupid kid's probably using an iPhone.
<ttmrichter>
Somewhere in the user agreement for his iPhone is the rules of physics for his phone.
<popolon>
buZz, we are only slave of our genetics, that are slaves from molecules, that are slaves to atoms, that are slaves from subatomic particles
<popolon>
...
<buZz>
all part of the simulation, yes
<ttmrichter>
That are slaves to an Apple end user agreement from another universe.
<popolon>
well guomindang was a good thing, until Chang Kaï-chek/Jiang Jieshi come
<popolon>
and Zhuhai is a really nice city :)
<popolon>
but probably due to Deng Xiaoping and millions of people work

It was a bad thing in that it fell apart into feuding factions in well under a generation.
<TheViking>
Sure, why not?

<ttmrichter>
I'm going to have to take a look at Zhuhai sometime.
<ttmrichter>
How does it compare to Xiamen?
<popolon>
mmh
<popolon>
more green
<popolon>
more modern
<ttmrichter>
More modern I can believe, but more green? :-o
<popolon>
xiamen city center has lot of colonial era buildings
<popolon>
well
<popolon>
lot of trees
<popolon>
lot of bike roads
<popolon>
you can rent public bike, like in european cities
<ttmrichter>
I've been in Wuhan too long. I was really impressed by Xiamen. The sky was blue.
<ttmrichter>
You can do that in Wuhan.
<popolon>
yes
<popolon>
a little different
<ttmrichter>
You wouldn't WANT to do it. The roads are killer. :)
Martix has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
<popolon>
are you from wuhan ?
<ttmrichter>
I live in Wuhan. I'm not from Wuhan.
<popolon>
oh
<popolon>
when I gone to wuhan (some years ago)
<popolon>
bicycle was rent only to city people
<ttmrichter>
You have to have an ID card, but anybody can get one if they can show residency.
<popolon>
and you have to ask to someone for the bike
<ttmrichter>
They've got machines for it now.
Cylta has left #cubieboard [#cubieboard]
<popolon>
ok
<ttmrichter>
You can get the bike any time of day or night.
<popolon>
in zhuhai too
<popolon>
in the other side (I live in paris)
thesheff17 has joined #cubieboard
<ttmrichter>
Wuhan remakes itself completely every five years or so it seems.
<popolon>
and with automatic machine, there are often full or empty station
<popolon>
ttmrichter, well, like most chinese cities :)
<popolon>
zhuhai is about 20years old
<ttmrichter>
They have a weird system of people going around in trucks redistributing bikes here. :)
<popolon>
like Shenzhen
<ttmrichter>
Wuhan has a subway now. And it's actually a good one.
<popolon>
oh, like in paris then
<popolon>
I seen the subway construction phase
<popolon>
didn't tried it
<ttmrichter>
Only one line so far (plus an elevated line) but three more in the works.
<popolon>
and probably 5 in less than 5 years
<popolon>
:)
<buZz>
01:38:31 < ttmrichter> They have a weird system of people going around in trucks redistributing bikes here. :)
<ttmrichter>
Well they're going to have four by the end of this year if schedules hold.
<buZz>
they do that here in .nl aswell
<buZz>
we call them thieves ;)
<popolon>
huhu
<ttmrichter>
buZz: Nobody would steal these ones. They're ugly bikes painted lime green.
<TheViking>
So, I'm not sure why but on my cubieboard uBoot is telling me that mmc is an "Invalid boot device". Is there anything I need to do to initialize the mmc/sdcard?
<popolon>
and what about the free time ?
<ttmrichter>
Anyway, I'm off to fail some students.
<popolon>
in paris you have 30 or 45 minutes of free time
<buZz>
ttmrichter: i'd love one, please send it
<buZz>
;)
<popolon>
and you must leave the bike at a station for 3~5 minutes
<popolon>
I seen in zhuhai, that's only about 1 and half hour free per day
