<hno>
Is it the SPL that fails linking?

because normal u-boot is not using a special lds file, only SPL and FEL binaries do.

oh btw... that A23 tablet that looked too cheap to be true was indeed too cheap to be true. The scammer's business model is a bit interesting, relying on automated acceptance of first offered dispute solution
<jelly-home>
aliexpress provided a full refund.
<jelly-home>
scammer wanted to refund just the shipping costs, and that would have been accepted if the buyer didn't respond in 5 days
<hno>
jelly-home, was there anything shipped?
<nabblet>
hi, is sunxi based on linux kernel 3.4 ?
<jelly-home>
hno: They claimed it was and provided an invalid CN post tracking number. I believe they never shipped a thing.
<hno>
nabblet, our 3.4 kernel is based on 3.4 + android support + a bit more..
<nabblet>
hno: if you try to get your changes to mainline, will they be merged to 3.4 mainline?
<jelly-home>
hno: near the end of dispute, they claimed it got shipped to wrong address and got back to them. Using China Post, shipping to SE Europe (Croatia) and back. Under 15 days.
<hno>
nabblet, no. The mainline efforts always go into current development mainline.
<nabblet>
hno: ok, so how do you keep up with the development of mainline?
<hno>
nabblet, what do you mean?
<nabblet>
maybe i have the wrong idea but if you want to commit to current mainline your changes should not base on a non-current version.
<hno>
everyone working on mainline support is working relative to current mainline, and submitting patches to current mainline.
<nabblet>
just right off: i have enough knowledge about this to get the wrong ideas, but to little to get the right ideas :P
sehraf has joined #linux-sunxi
<hno>
it's pretty much different tracks working on the 3.4 kernel or mainline. They share very little in the sunxi parts.
sehraf has quit [Read error: Connection reset by peer]
<nabblet>
ah ok.
<nabblet>
so if there is something for mainline it will be sunxi -> sunxi-mainline -> mainline
<hramrach>
hmm, I wonder how far is lima right now? how was the fosdem demo?
<nabblet>
more or less?
<hramrach>
also somebody here talked about old sun3i devices being hacked on some time ago
<hramrach>
are there any kernel sources and stuff?
<hramrach>
and especially u-boot sources. We do have kernel sources of sorts
<nabblet>
hno: oh i think i understood that wrong.
<nabblet>
hno: so sunxi and the mainline-effort people are quite independent?

Is there a way to add an external antenna on cubietruck?
<hramrach>
no
<cubear>
bleh
<hramrach>
well, perhaps with a soldering iron
<hramrach>
WiFi is the metal covered chip. right?
<cubear>
There could have been an iOEX connector at least :(
<cubear>
iPEX*
<hramrach>
there does not seem any connector near that other than the GPIO one
<cubear>
well thats why I'm forced to use an external wifi card
<hramrach>
there could have been many things
<hramrach>
but it's not like the PCB space is infinite and the connectors free
<hramrach>
iPEX is the small thingy they put on mini-PCIe cards?
sehraf has quit [Read error: Connection reset by peer]
<cubear>
Okay, looking at my cubietruck I take it this metallic chip is the bt/wifi.
<cubear>
I can't even see the PCB antenna
<hramrach>
well, you could probably fit it somewhere near the screw. I think the antenna is the larger SMD part near the edge
<hno>
nabblet, at the code level yes.
<hno>
but many persons is working on both trees.
<cubear>
that black thing?
idella4 has left #linux-sunxi ["Once you know what it is you want to be true, instinct is a very useful device for enabling you to know that it is"]
<cubear>
I wonder, if this can be replaced
<hramrach>
yes, black on top and metal on sides
<nabblet>
hno: sure. so what is the plan for linux-sunxi? stay on 3.4?
<hramrach>
anything can be replaced with a soldering iron ;-)
<cubear>
Interesting, I haven't seen an antenna like this before
<hramrach>
but I am not quite sure this is the antenna. Just recall that a part looking like this was markes as antenna on some pictures of other boards
<cubear>
Having dealt with some routers and openWRT, most of the PCB's had some copper layout for the antenna part
<hramrach>
takes more space but the routers tend to have enough of that
<cubear>
I'll need to check the datasheet for this
<hramrach>
also check the writing on the part
<hramrach>
there *is* something written on it but I cannot read it clearly
<lioka>
as you can see, it's u-boot and it's actually using lds
<cubear>
I'm not sure whether a standard 2.4GHz antenna is compatible with this layout. It needs to be connected to both pins - ANT and ground. This SMD antenna is only connected to ANT, but no ground.
<atsampso1>
that's because it's placed next to an appropriately-shaped chunk of ground plane...
<atsampso1>
(it's not really an "antenna", it's a matching network for a PCB trace)
<cubear>
atsampso1: thanks for the link, that explains a few things
<cubear>
hmm, looking at the cubietruck hardware datasheet it looks like there are two caps and an inductor before the antenna, but looking closer at the actual PCB, the caps seem to be missing

for video you get a VPU, and to push the generated bytes into a HDMI monitor or whatever there's a separate display controller
