also what are you compiling?

it's prefereble to build on target when glibc version ad such stuff matters
<hramrach>
pokus: emdebian has cross-toolchain that probably uses the ancient glibc from debian stable but I never really cared about that

<andoma>
what do i need to enable in my kernel config to get the ethernet on cubieboard2 to work?
<andoma>
using sunxi-3.4
<andoma>
oliv3r: ^ perhaps?
<oliv3r>
erm it should work 'out of the box' on 3.4
<oliv3r>
oh config, erm RTL PHY needs to be selected
<oliv3r>
allwinner EMAC
<andoma>
ah ok thanks
<oliv3r>
those two pretty much are it,a nd a fitting fex file of course

i thought i changed the EMAC=Y in the defconfig though ...

Hi guys. I have cheap chinese tablet with an A13 allwinner chip. I have a serial comms cable, and I'm wondering if anyone can help where I should solder it to the board for UART. Basically I want to get FEL diagnostics from it as it boots up.
<binaryferret>
Although after typing that, I realise that no doubt all chinese tabs looks slightly differently.
<oliv3r>
andoma: does it work?
<oliv3r>
binaryferret: 'fel diagnostics'? what's that
<oliv3r>
there is fel mode, which allows you to upload/download stuff from ram and execute it, all via usb
<oliv3r>
i don't think there's 'fel diagnostics mode
<binaryferret>
Sorry what I meant was, when it's in FEL mode, I'd like to get the info from a console
<binaryferret>
I just called it diagnostics because I'd be using the output to see what was going wrong when attempting to boot SD Card.
<andoma>
oliv3r: yup worked fine :)
allen_ has quit [Ping timeout: 252 seconds]
<oliv3r>
binaryferret: ok you are confused indeed, FEL mode allows you to load the bootloader for example and execute that, you won't get feedback (until we get a USB serial monitor in the bootloader anyway)
<oliv3r>
binaryferret: what you want is a simple UART serial connection so you can monitor the console
<oliv3r>
binaryferret: which has absolutly nothing to do with FEL mode ;)
<binaryferret>
So you can't put it in FEL mode when you put on a console line?
<binaryferret>
I thought that when it's in FEL mode it will send out data on UART1
<binaryferret>
giving some indication on what's going on
FDCX has quit [Ping timeout: 252 seconds]
<binaryferret>
What I wanted to do was put it in FEL mode, and then when I try to load the bootloader see what messages it says, to try and determine why it's failing.

<oliv3r>
binaryferret: the console and the FEL are completly different things, one is a serial port, the other a USB. they don't even use the same pins :)
<oliv3r>
binaryferret: forget about FEL mode, you don't need it, you don't even want it
<oliv3r>
binaryferret: you want to load u-boot/the kernel with UART connected, the UART is the serial port that will give you the logs you want, it is enabled by default
<oliv3r>
binaryferret: connect the cables (if you find the right spots) and watch data churn by :)
<binaryferret>
Thanks oliv3r I was reading it but my brain was understanding it in a different manner. I do want the UART connected for logs when it's all booting up. I will put a post on the wiki once done.
<oliv3r>
i think it's over documented :p

binaryferret: open up your device and make some high resolution pictures
<libv>
binaryferret: either you have 4 very big pads next to eachother, which is very very unlikely (but this is what it was like on the a7hd)
<libv>
binaryferret: or you will have to find a group of 3 testpoints, which usually has a group of 5 testpoints nearby (which will be jtag)
<libv>
since this is a13 though, you could just use a multimeter from the pins of the chip
<binaryferret>
libv: Thanks libv, I just looked up the datasheet and found the correct pins.
<libv>
or solder the cables onto the pins directly
<binaryferret>
libv: soldered them to the pins directly
<libv>
ok
<binaryferret>
I'll take pictures when done.
<binaryferret>
Well, when I've confirmed it's working.
<binaryferret>
Excellent. I'll try and use a similar format.
<libv>
binaryferret: is this really an unknown A13 device?
<binaryferret>
Nuclear-evb A13
<binaryferret>
Really cheap Chinese tablets.
<binaryferret>
I have more info on the boards somewhere that I've taken from various areas from the tablet itself
<libv>
as are all A13 tablets :)
<binaryferret>
hehe true.
<libv>
cool
<libv>
yeah, good board specific information is scarce on our wiki
<libv>
people usually get their own stuff working and then run off
<binaryferret>
I need to collect my thoughts and organise a little, at the moment all my 'playing' and notes are spread out over various computers atm.
<libv>
well, with me, over the years i've had to learn time and time again that if i do not collect info somewhere i lose it
<libv>
3 months on, i will have forgotten half of it

I'm about to get a cubietruck and I was wondering... what's the current status of A20 support in linux? What works, what doesn't?
<ssvb>
libv: the assembly source needs to be updated to produce the functions with similar attrubutes as the ones generated by C compiler
<libv>
ssvb: or that :)
<libv>
ssvb: is this on your TODO any time soon?
<libv>
if so, i definitely should choose the lazy option for the precise package
<ssvb>
something is apparently missing there, we just need to figure out what it is exactly
<libv>
well, you can easily test this with this one LDFLAG

i think objdump could tell you the rest

have anyone sort of idea how to track this problem down?
