hi everyone
02:28
<
projectgus >
I'm looking for a cheap mini PC I can turn into a small headless home server, to decomission my VPS
02:29
<
projectgus >
I was going to use a MK802 (Allwinner A10) but I accidentally lifted the TX pad off my first one(!), and then the second I bought had an A10s which doesn't support linux yet
02:29
<
projectgus >
currently trying to choose between a GK802 or an Odroid U2
02:29
<
projectgus >
was wondering
02:30
<
projectgus >
- is the 12.04 Ubuntu "preview image" now stable? I sawe you said ubuntu was locking up at one stage.
02:30
<
projectgus >
- is uboot relatively standard on these? I saw in the instructions you 'dd' uboot to a 1k offset (good good) but then you have to dd the kernel uImage to a 1Mb offset...
02:31
<
projectgus >
is that second part optional? if I compile a uboot with ext2 or FAT support can I just load the kernel from a filesystem partition?
02:31
<
projectgus >
thanks everyone, sorry for epic spamming of channel
02:33
<
projectgus >
FWIW I just need USB and a SD card peripheralwise, no need for wifi, bluetooth or hdmi out
02:34
<
Juggie >
you may be better off asking at the forums
02:34
<
projectgus >
Juggie: thanks. miniand forums?
02:34
<
Juggie >
that or armtv or something
02:35
<
Juggie >
there are a couple that are active
02:39
<
abrasive >
projectgus: yo
02:39
<
abrasive >
i was half wondering if you'd turn up here.
02:39
<
projectgus >
abrasive: I admit it. I have a problem. ;)
02:40
<
abrasive >
er, i ported uboot so we have our own now
02:40
<
projectgus >
bbl heading out for a while
02:40
<
abrasive >
the kernel's decent too
02:40
<
projectgus >
abrasive: oh, so the uboot mentioned in jas-hack's posts is a vendor blob, but if I compile your one I can customise it?
02:40
<
projectgus >
sorry, asking questions as leaving! :)
02:40
<
abrasive >
i boot from an MMC partition as standard
02:41
<
abrasive >
we now have more features than vendor too, like USB boot
02:41
<
abrasive >
and HDMI console, and keyboard.
02:41
<
abrasive >
so... more than you could ever need in a tiny bootloader.
02:41
<
projectgus >
wow, nice work
02:41
<
abrasive >
i'm easily distracted.
02:42
<
projectgus >
sounds in a better place than the A10 stuff. All their multiple bootloader stages and .fex files to preinitialise registers and stuff
02:42
<
abrasive >
yeah, i have an RK3066 dongle too
02:42
<
abrasive >
which i haven't touched since getting the imx6.
02:43
<
abrasive >
the only thing i'm unhappy about is lack of 3d accel driver source
02:43
<
abrasive >
so there's no support for hardfloat targets until someone leaks the right binaries afaik
02:43
<
projectgus >
yeah but i assume they're no worse than everyone else?
02:43
<
projectgus >
ok, properly leaving now
02:43
<
projectgus >
think I'm sold on gk802 though. now just to decide if I buy from miniand or play aliexpress roulette
02:43
<
abrasive >
ok! seeya
02:43
<
abrasive >
i got mine from DX.

there are some on aliexpress for $50ish if you buy two

but that sounds like a very good price for one

and of course there's always the chance with aliexpress you'll get something else inside

jas-hacks_: do u have ok performance on usb. I feel its a bit slower than on class 10 sdcard, but my usb dongles aren't of the fastest ones
10:22

hste: similar to my sdcard (class 6/10)
10:23

hste: For now you can only boot from one usb drive, if there are 2 or more it will fail.
10:26
<
hste >
jas-hacks_: do u think u could make it try to boot kernel /boot/uImage if no boot.scr is found?
10:29
<
jas-hacks_ >
hste: but from which drive? The internal one?
10:30
<
hste >
jas-hacks_: wouldn't it first look for /boot/uImage on internal then ext and the usb like boot.scr?
10:33

jas-hacks_ >
hste: if we look for /boot/uImage then you can't set the resolution
11:03
<
hste >
jas-hacks_: I think only to do it if no boot.scr is found, else use boot.scr
11:05
<
hste >
jas-hacks_: or set a default to 720P and the load kernel if no boot.scr is found
11:10
<
hste >
then we could have a rootfs on int and put a ext sdcard with boot.scr when we want to boot that one instead
11:11
<
hste >
without having to remove boot.scr from int
11:12
<
hste >
but just changing order for boot.scr to ext->int->usb would also work :)

don't default to 720p, please.

autodetect should e default (and we need to figure out why it doesn't work for some people...)
12:17
<
hste >
abrasive: then its best just to use boot.scr for setting video :)
