Is it hard to solder? I dont see anything to solder at all XD
<libv>
ZetaNeta: are you sure that the board is ready to use this nand, as is?
<libv>
ZetaNeta: are you sure that it needs just this modification and nothing else?
<libv>
ZetaNeta: really, spend a few bob more and get like the a10s board with 4GB
<ZetaNeta>
+ Is it 2gbit in space, or in speed?
<libv>
it will be cheaper in the end
<ZetaNeta>
i heard a10s is worser
<libv>
ZetaNeta: how?
<libv>
facts man.
<ZetaNeta>
i dont remember exact
<ZetaNeta>
i am too lazy to got to linux-sunxi site in the middle of the night
<libv>
it is worse, in some ways, but when comparing the lime and the olimex a10s board, it really does not matter
<libv>
both have only half a gig
<libv>
both have hdmi
<libv>
only, one comes with nand and the other one doesn't
<ZetaNeta>

<ZetaNeta>
This was the worst attempt to make a human not do something in the human history
<ZetaNeta>
oliv3r,
<ZetaNeta>
You, intelligent human creature, can i just solder the nand and new ram there?
<libv>
ZetaNeta: perhaps i should've shortcut this differently: you're an idiot for asking such questions here. you're an idiot who really needs some better things to do if you think that this is a worthwhile endeavour while spending 25eur more on a board which does have nand
<ZetaNeta>
libv, But another cpu
<libv>
ZetaNeta: oliv3r is not the designer of the olimex lime board

<ZetaNeta>
SO YOU ARE ONE OF THOSE FEW!

if I've got a 1gb A10 generic tablet which uboot should I try first? a10_mid_1gb? what uart is the serial console attached to by default in uboot?
<ZetaNeta>
bsdfox, Open up the tablet, see if you find any markings
<bsdfox>
my understanding was that A10 would always try to boot from mmc but I've copied the SD card for my mele and it still boots into android (I don't have any video on this until it boots as the FFC cable is broken and I only get HDMI out once android is loaded) and I never get anything on what I suspect might be uart pins
<oliv3r>
have you found uart pins? with poroper botloader it shou
<oliv3r>
d always boot mmc
<oliv3r>
nand should do uart too
<bsdfox>
oliv3r, if the stock bootloader should output by default (I don't think it should.. the script.bin/fex had it disabled iirc) then no, I haven't idenitified them
<oliv3r>
it shoould still print something iirc' mmc boot will
<oliv3r>
bed now :-P

<hramrach>
bsdfox: script.bin is basically AW's stab at something like DT. It tells the kernel what devices are connected where. If you don't have an uart enabled then unless it's the console uart used by u-boot it will not work
<hramrach>
but the console uart should work regardless of script.bin. It's configured in u-boot at compile time
<mrnuke>
wouldn't it have been easier to just load a dtb ?
<hramrach>
it would if the AW kernels supported DT
<hramrach>
they don't so we have script.bin
ZZambia has joined #linux-sunxi
<hramrach>
you could insert an emulation layer I guess
<hramrach>
patches welcome :)
<mrnuke>
so, mainline uses dtb, and sunxi-linux the script.bin ?
<hramrach>
yes
<mrnuke>
my gosh, what a cluster
<hramrach>
still script.bin is way better than board.c which is what most other vendors do
<hramrach>
so point go to AW on this one
<mrnuke>
it just makes maintenance and mainlining a pain for you guys
paulk-collins has joined #linux-sunxi
<hramrach>
it would be more pain with just everything hardcoded in board.c
<hramrach>
which is what rk/nvidia/anyone does
<mrnuke>
since when is nvidia contributing GPL code?
vrga has joined #linux-sunxi
<plaes>
mrnuke: where?
<mrnuke>
<hramrach> which is what rk/nvidia/anyone does
<plaes>
ahh :D
<hramrach>
mrnuke: they had some kernels for their devboards available. Probably GPL violating blobware but kernel anyway
<hramrach>
and they are developing the mainline tegra drivers, too
<mrnuke>
I don't think nvidia is in a position to violate the GPL. They're not some chinese company that can just get away with it
<hramrach>
I don't know if anybody tried suing them. The fact is that firmware for older tegra devices is next to impossible to get due to driver issues and it's based on Linux
<n01>
hramrach: mripard already have a working "emulation layer"
<hramrach>
cool
<hramrach>
which way it emulates?
<n01>
run-time script.bin -> dtb translation iirc
<hramrach>
I personally would got for converting script.bin to dts and then just building normal mainline kernel
<n01>
I think in this way you can still use u-boot from aw but with mainline kernel
<hramrach>
do we need AW u-boot for anything?
<hramrach>
but might be useful on new devices I guess
<n01>
yep

what's a 'multiplexed in signal' for I2S? according to the fex guide, i can have 4 dedicated out lines but only one in line that is 'multiplexed'
<mnemoc>
multiplexed means the SoC pin can perform different roles and you have to choose which feature you want each to implement
<mnemoc>
see the PIO setup of the SoC you are interested
<aep>
yeah but almost all of the pins are mux'd. why does it say that specifically for this one

mnemoc: it does seem that many A20 tablets lack the usb_wifi_para section
<libv>
there are probably 3 ways about it... one is to force all enabled busses on at boot (perhaps on a timer so they can be disabled again when unclaimed)...
arokux has quit [Read error: Connection reset by peer]
<libv>
this would trigger udev, and the right driver might get loaded automatically. But the question then is: when have we waited long enough to disable the usbc again?
<mnemoc>
they might have realized it's stupid to hack every wifi driver just to save a couple of uW
<libv>
another option is to have the driver complain and then fall back to testing all enabled usbcs
<mnemoc>
just keep the usbc always on and let linux do it's job

so it wouldn't be a step backwards

with the usbc linux will detect the device and ask udev to do it's job

not as funny as it sounds :(

vector80: try setting the boot_clock high in the .fex, and try using like "performance" as your default cpufreq governor
<vector80>
aep: Don't misunderstand, I know most of those boards uses NAND flash, that might be one of the reason why you people experience problems...
<vector80>
boot_clock
<vector80>
let me check
<vector80>
Oh
<vector80>
Let me explain
<vector80>
for performance governor
<vector80>
I use a shell script which sets governor to performance
<vector80>
Oh
<vector80>
that boot_clock also affect booting speed?
<libv>
as your default cpufreq governor in the kernel
<libv>
i would expect so
<vector80>
in my fex, boot_clock is set to 912
<vector80>
can I try higher ?
<libv>
for a20, that seems like quite high already
<vector80>
my debian from eMMC is booting in around 14-17 seconds
<vector80>
I mean I get command prompt in 17 seconds
<vector80>
But in android,
<vector80>
same hardware
<libv>
there are several people here playing with previously unknown boards, but no-one is following new_device_howto
<vector80>
I get prompt in 5-6 seconds
<libv>
vector80: is debian using infrastructure to run the boot scripts in parallel?
<vector80>
yes
<vector80>
I checked it, running in parallel
<vector80>
only in the beginning, runlevel 2 is not parallel,
<vector80>
afterwards, all init services are running in parallel
<vector80>
I feel, aw kernel for android is much more stripped than sunxi kernel, is that possible ?
<libv>
vector80: you could document your findings on our wiki though
<libv>
vector80: just like you should document your board on our wiki
<vector80>
yes, I really want to document my board on your wiki
<vector80>
I really feel bad about this, because it incorporates proprietary hardware,
<vector80>
unfortunately, these circuits are developed by my colleagues, and you can't find such things on hobbyist boards,
<vector80>
you can't buy "interra-3" from the market, and use in the home
<vector80>
But you guys, libv, olivr, mnemoc... helped me a lot, and the board is running debian very nicely

I just wanted it to run faster, I mean about optimisations
<vector80>
Of course I understand you, your interests are far beyond than mine,
<vector80>
I respect all of your work.
<vector80>
Again, many many thanks for all your efforts.
<vector80>
I really want to help you more about your projects, I tried to give my 1st contribution by A23 SDK,
<vector80>
if I can find the chance, I will try to give you 4.4 Kitkat SDK on monday-tuesday may be..

finally have a13 hardware, trying to extract script.bin and decompile to script.fex, but getting the slightly opaque message "E: script.bin:1: data must follow a section.
<itdaniher>
internal to the chip, it's probably a crossbar mux or something - internal matrix
<mnemoc>
ZetaNeta: 400E only in hardware, that is 8 months fo rent
<mnemoc>
ZetaNeta: does that include the CPU?
<ZetaNeta>
mnemoc, I been hosting mine for few years
<ZetaNeta>
mnemoc, I am getting my parts for free
<ZetaNeta>
I dont really care :D
<mnemoc>
that's cheating ;-)
<ZetaNeta>
Cheating? When everyone can do it?
<lumo>
itdaniher thank you, i have some problem with my RTL8201cp, if want check it with mii-tool, they say no transceiver avaiable, do you mean this is an hardware issue
* mnemoc
doesn't get anything for free

You know for how cheap people can sell "a quite good pentium" for, just because its outdated by a year?

there must be a bug in most recent u-boot when compiling for Marsboard_a10
<Seppoz>
just compiled with an older one from same repo and it works
<mnemoc>
Seppoz: in the nightlies you can get to can get different builds and narrow the problem

not that I know

now where did all my µsd cards go :(
<vector80>
in sunxi-uboot, boards.cfg, what is the difference between SPL and SPL_FEL ?
<vector80>
Can the 2nd one let me enter FEL mode via recovery button ?
<mnemoc>
the FEL card boots directly into FEL mode, without pressing a button
<mnemoc>
useful when you don't have a recovery button
<vector80>
I have recovery button , and in my uboot config, only "SPL" is written. However, when I press recovery button and reset, it just continue, does not enter FEL mode I think... In boot1, it prints on the console that it inters FEL mode.. am I missing something ?
<vector80>
inters / enters

For the 1st time, oliver created it
<Seppoz>
when i communicate on i2c-1 i allways get incomplete xfer (0x20)
<Seppoz>
what does that mean?
<libv>
ok, so oliver made this commit for you?
<ZetaNeta>
mnemoc,
<vector80>
yes
<ZetaNeta>
Do you have a open port, and netcat?
<libv>
vector80: do you have any other commits or other things you wish to commit soon?
<vector80>
Seppoz: yes, I feelt here is some problem with i2c driver, I also have seen that, but when I use i2cget command to read my unique MAC address from Atmel EEPROM, it works fine..
<vector80>
yes, I actually changed 3 files
<libv>
vector80: then leave it as is :)
<vector80>
libv: yes, I actually want to change 3 files
<libv>
then it's fine
<Seppoz>
i have registers an eeprom on i2c-1 and whenever i read it in sys class i get this error
<Seppoz>
what does it mean?
<libv>
oliv3r gets the credit for a commit in your place for once... i am sure that superboarddesignerman will not mind too much :p
<vector80>
libv: I want to change the interra-3.fex file also, but when I create the commit, it does not appear in the patch file... May be I edited wrong file?
<libv>
vector80: you need to git add the file first
<vector80>
Seppoz: Do you have i2c-tools package on your board?
<Seppoz>
not yet
<libv>
vector80: git status and git diff are also nice things to use before you run git commit
<vector80>
libv: But the file is already in there
<libv>
vector80: does git log interra-3.fex give you anything?
<vector80>
Seppoz: yes, that "inclomplete xfer" issue also same in my board
<vector80>
libv: let me try
<libv>
vector80: make sure you have the full path to interra-3.fex though
<vector80>
Seppoz: But i2c bus is working
<vector80>
libv: ok let me try
<Seppoz>
vector80: so you can read and write devices on i2c1?
<vector80>
libv: git log doesn't return anything
cajg has joined #linux-sunxi

Seppoz: In my board, I have a MAC EEPROM

on i2c1?

It is connected on ic2-1, with address 0x50
<vector80>
And each of them have unique 6 bytes
<Seppoz>
its probably at24c64 aswell
<vector80>
and I read it and set to MAC address
<Seppoz>
can you please go to sys class i2c-dev i2c-1 devices 1-0050 and see if you can cat eeprom
<vector80>
ok wait
