trying to fix hdmi output i had hoped putting something like "disp.screen0_output_mode=1280x720p60" into uEnv.txt on first partition of the sd card would be good enough. but it seems not to help - any hints?
<boycottg00gle>
is that file used during boot at all?
<Turl>
well, just writing that won't do anything, as it's not proper uEnv.txt syntax
<boycottg00gle>
Turl: do you have a link to that documentation?
<Turl>
uEnv is basically a uboot environment but in text form
<boycottg00gle>
so i should find it in the uboot documentation?
<Turl>
probably something like extraargs=disp.screen0_output_mode=1280x1024p60 may work
<Turl>
I don't know what your current environment looks like though
<boycottg00gle>
uEnv.txt didn't exist
<boycottg00gle>
only uImage and script.bin
<boycottg00gle>
looking at hd /dev/mmcblk0: U-Boot SPL 2013.04-06942-gc057dc2-dirty
<boycottg00gle>
in the hd also i see: bootenv=uEnv.txt
<boycottg00gle>
will just test your suggestion
<boycottg00gle>
board is a olimix a20 btw
<boycottg00gle>
btw: is a soft reboot good enough?
<boycottg00gle>
and shouldn't it show up in /proc/cmdline then?
<boycottg00gle>
hmm i don't really like to add unkown sources ... but at least i heard of emdebian some time ago ... do i really want to build my own cross toolchain again .. takes ages, too ... puh - there are still no official debian cross toolchains right?
<boycottg00gle>
do i have to recreate the script.bin if i replace the uImage?
<boycottg00gle>
restored old kernel
<boycottg00gle>
boots

boycottg00gle: you may need to change u-boot
<techn_>
since allwinner's stock u-boot may not support atag parameters
<techn_>
that way kernel wont get correct memory amount

is there some document explaining early boot stages
<boycottg00gle>
i don't quite understand it yet
<boycottg00gle>
there are 2 u-boots?

cool
<mnemoc>
so you mean merging to non-stage?

boycottg00gle: that i've seen because of earthing loops between the RS232 dongle and the board.
<lkcl_>
but also check you've set the correct parity and stop bits (8N1 is the usual default)

oliv3r: you got eth on your cubie again? :)
<oliv3r>
a quick check made it look like it yeah :)
<oliv3r>
i saw the lights come back up
<oliv3r>
and normally emac driver would crash and cry, and it just boots
<oliv3r>
but haven't tested it yet :)

uh shame on me
<boycottg00gle>
looks like 3.3V is not good enoguh
<boycottg00gle>
one has to put something inbetween there
<boycottg00gle>
lol

Are there any Allwinner HDMI sticks that are dual/quad core and have a WiFi chipset that supports AP mode?

oliv3r: are, you fixed PHY ?
<oliv3r>
i think so :)
<hno>
oliv3r, you did?
<hno>
soldered a new PHY?
<hno>
techn_, allwinner stock u-boot supports atag, just doesn't support actually filling in the right memory info in it's own knowledge of the memory map, at least not last time I looked.
<hno>
boycottg00gle, UART is 3.3V. What do you mean?
<hno>
or did you attempt using a 5V cable?
<oliv3r>
hno: i put some pics on the wiki, didn't write anything yet
<oliv3r>
and haven't properly tested it yet
<oliv3r>
but it does way more (as i wrote above) then before, so happy for now
<oliv3r>
mounted upside down the first attempt :S (pin1 at pin20)
<drachensun>
akazien: A31 tv sticks exist, most everything has the 8188eu chipset
<drachensun>
there are two drivers for it I think
<drachensun>
does one of them support AP mode?
<hno>
drachensun, both, but mainline driver do not work at all for me..
<hno>
but does support AP if it had worked..
<Turl>
hno: make sure you edit script.bin and enable power for usb
<Turl>
the allwinnerized driver does it when you load it
<drachensun>
interesting
<drachensun>
didn't someone make their TV stick a router
<drachensun>
with a USB ethernet
<Turl>
drachensun: that's rm

wigyori, some progress?
<wigyori>
vinifr: didn't have a chance today to work on it - 'daily business' -, sorry
<vinifr>
wigyori, I am too busy doing homework :)
<hno>
Turl, USB was powered fine.. mainline driver just not stable, crashing after some packets.
<hno>
mainline from 3.4 that is.

wigyori, are you aware that it is necessary to make some revisions?
<vinifr>
source clock and channel selection for now
<oliv3r>
i should get me one of those a20 tv sticks, i like the idea of those hdmi sticks still
<Turl>
hno: smells like backporting may be in order
<hno>
Turl, tried, but still not stable..
<Turl>
hno: well, tbh, the rtl card I had was pretty crappy, even with the rtl driver
