01:25 <kallisti5> uugh.. anyone know of any good docs on getting an sd card booting on the CB4?

01:25 <kallisti5> The u-boot spl and u-boot provided really don't boot.

01:28 <kallisti5> http://pastebin.com/361xhLmJ

01:45 <kallisti5> omg... whats with all the fex crap. Just give me u-boot and a fdt :-(

12:58 <hasdf> hi

13:03 <hasdf> if I copy archlinuxarm to a sd-card, can I edit the script.bin to display vga? http://archlinuxarm.org/platforms/armv7/allwinner/cubietruck#qt-platform_tabs-ui-tabs2

13:07 <JohnDoe_71Rus> yes fex2bin and ишт2ауч

13:08 <JohnDoe_71Rus> bin2fex

13:11 <hasdf> JohnDoe_71Rus, but it also works on a "fresh installation" that never booted before?

13:12 <JohnDoe_71Rus> yes

13:12 <hasdf> ok, than the sd card is broken or the archlinux doesn't boot :/

13:13 <hasdf> it should boot from sd card even if cubian is installed on nand, doesn't it? (cubian isn't booting either with the sd card inserted)

13:16 <JohnDoe_71Rus> if the sd card present, always boot from sd. if sd card is bootable

18:23 <kallisti5> hasdf: uugh. the allwinner boot drives me nuts

18:23 <kallisti5> really wish it was more like the Raspberry Pi... the SPL looks for a simple config file pointing to the "kernel" file (which is an elf or u-boot, etc)

18:24 <kallisti5> this whole "blessing the SD card with a magical FEX" thing sucks :-(

18:36 <hasdf> well the debian image from igor did boot

18:36 <hasdf> but only the 3.4 kernel

18:36 <kallisti5> yeah.. as I understand it the FEX is some insane hacked fdt/dts

18:37 <kallisti5> the SPL needs rewritten to load u-boot from the sd card :-\

18:38 <kallisti5> sd card as in from a fat filesystem :-)

18:38 <kallisti5> just wrote this:

18:38 <kallisti5> https://github.com/cubieboard/CC-A80-binaries/wiki/boot-sdcard

18:38 <kallisti5> (based on cubietech advice https://github.com/cubieboard/CC-A80-binaries/issues/1)

18:55 <kallisti5> https://github.com/cubieboard/CC-A80-u-boot/tree/master/sunxi_spl

18:55 <kallisti5> that's brand new.

18:56 <kallisti5> ... looks like they put their SPL code into u-boot for some reason though..

18:58 <Guest22699> I have the Cubieboard 4 - CC-A80 and when I hook it up and power it on. I see the ubieTech logo and this the Android swirl. after about 10 seconds it goes back to the ubieTech Logo and then the Android Swirl again. It continues to do this a few times before it just stops and does nothing. Anyone know what I should try next or do I have a defective unit?

18:59 <kallisti5> Guest22699: try moew power

18:59 <kallisti5> *more

18:59 <kallisti5> I had the same issue... it finally ran once I gave it 5v 4a

18:59 <kallisti5> Powered via usb never worked.. it would start to boot but then freak out and reboot

19:00 <Guest22699> Okay. I'm currently am just powering it through the USB 3.0 port.

19:00 <kallisti5> tried over usb3.0 which has more current, wouldn't go

19:00 <kallisti5> anway, I thought the same thing about it being defective.

19:00 <kallisti5> .. but yeah. 5v 4a did it. 2 or 3 might work as well. The cubieboard docs suck :-\

19:00 <Guest22699> Thanks for your advice. I'll have to see if I have a power supply at home that will fit the bill.

19:22 <hasdf> anyone configured a cubietruck as a wlan access point?

19:23 <hasdf> and how could I do subdomains locally? like cloud.cubietruck, www.cubietruck, etherpad.cubietruck, etc
