<idella4>
ok the shotgun approach; can a kernel next or devel, ver. 3.13-rc4, be expected to boot a cubieboard2 in system on a micro SD card inserted into the phsical slot in/on the cb2 board?
<idella4>
then; how to get a sane boot.cmd so u-boot can do it 'properly' 'cause atm it's most improper
<idella4>
and 'reading uImage' although given a zImage, not a uImage
<idella4>
well yes
<idella4>
'round in circles
<idella4>
what I have ascertained is that the kernel 3.4 works and is configured quite differently
<plaes>
can't you give it an uimage?
<idella4>
the next or devel kernel appears to have the req'd drivers however it 'crashes' and goes 'round in circles
<idella4>
did that
bbrezillon has joined #linux-sunxi
<idella4>
was advised to use a zImage
<idella4>
so I did
<idella4>
the added layer of technical difficulty is u-boot
<idella4>
I need at least 2 things done right; kernel config; boot.cmd
<plaes>
mhm
<idella4>
and I can't tell if wither are satisfactory
<idella4>
it seems the .dtb binary files is being picked up there from the log
<idella4>
which is the only forward progress I appear to have made
<idella4>
the boot.cmd I use may be right, it's a result of some tips from well informed sources
<idella4>
I can't tell myself
bertrik has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
<idella4>
I know the arm additions of code are still in progress, and the xen dev seems to think the next kernel has 'enough in it' to boot the sys on the SD card, a SanDisk 8G micro SD card.
<idella4>
inserted in the apt. port or slot into the cb2 board
<mripard>
idella4: the load adress is wrong, and you're not using a zImage in the bootlog you pasted
<idella4>
well this suggests the boot.cmd isn't working

If Allwinner ever to produce a single Smartphone soc, it would rock!
<Wizzup>
considered a jolla or n900 instead?
<ZetaNeta>
I wonder why current SOCs are not used there (except for their huge size, but lets remember MK802?)
<ZetaNeta>
Wizzup, I considered Neo900, OpenMoko and a old HP iPaq 2210
<ZetaNeta>
And still, allwinner would rock those devices in a moment
* Wizzup
does not know why
<Wizzup>
but sure
<ZetaNeta>
Jolla is both overpriced, and would be beaten by Allwinner straight away
<ZetaNeta>
Especially with the new A80 (as i remember its called)....
<ZetaNeta>
I know allwinner dont have a modem, but what forces us to use the one from SOC when we can attach one?

suggest the neo900 people to use an allwinner? ;)

Hi all, can someone confirm if what I'm trying to do is possible
<codekipper_>
I've got a sdcard image that I use for development. It's currently stage/3.4 + my debian with xbmc
<codekipper_>
I've cloned this to another card which happily boots and now I've got this urge to play with Hans' devel branch.
<codekipper_>
So in the boot partition there is my old and new uImage's and boot.cmd. The kernel seems to boot but it hangs on "Waiting for root device /dev/mmcblk0p2..."
<codekipper_>
If I revert to old kernel + boot.cmd it's boots happily. Does the devel branch support ext4?
<kenny>
codekipper_: You enabled ext4 in your .config, right? Do you happen to be using an SDXC card?
<codekipper_>
kenny, I've not touched .config so I'll have a look. Using a SDHC card and I haven't changed the rootfstype=ext4 in boot.cmd

<codekipper_>
kenny, sunxi_defconfig I'm playing with my mele a2000
<kenny>
codekipper_: menuconfig it and add everything that looks at all sunxi/allwinner related, or at least that was my plan. If there's a good list of 'this hardward needs these drivers' I haven't found it.
<codekipper_>
kenny, well adding rootfstype=ext4 didn't work :(. I'm going to have to look at this again, my u-boot here is "U-Boot SPL 2013.10-rc2-08400-g8a4621c"
<codekipper_>
It's probably the one that I've been using since I started hacking with the board. I'll look to update that
<kenny>
codekipper_: pastebin your .config will probably help ppl here. I'm not one of the devs here so it's a bit of the blind leading the blind.
<kenny>

thanks for your help....I feel like I'm close to getting this working thanks to you
<kenny>
codekipper_: good luck. My .config is posted in that mailing list post I linked to earlier in case it helps. Mine worked with the sunxi-devel branch up until it was updated to rc3. If I can get time I plan to 'git bisect' it, but I think it's an SDXC issue, so it won't effect you.

<wingrime>

you can see one of the TX/RX lights permanently on with the board off on adaptors with blinkenlights

can you not make vampire-resistant adaptor?

damn, I was hopeful this was a fixable issue. I have a board that I work on remotely but any time I reboot it with sysrq it boots from nand. Maybe I'll flash a nand image that just reboots again...

it's just too good
<Turl>
libv: all OSHW as usual?
<libv>
yup
<Turl>
libv: EAGLE or KiCad?
<libv>
i dunno
<Turl>
in either case it's not like I'm gonna edit the files :p
<libv>
we have enough stuff to do on other sides :)
<Turl>
the gmac driver didn't read it from script.bin I think
<Turl>
maybe that changed recently though
<libv>
Turl: where else would it read it from?
<libv>
there's an 8pin chip at the back
<libv>
it could be spi flash
<nazcafan>
also, the wiki seems to imply that the sunxi-kernel uses fex. My understanding was that the somehow recommended way to go was to use device tree, so is it that the 3.4 doesn't have the necessary infrastructure?
<nazcafan>
(in order to implement device tree)
<nazcafan>
or rather than fex and dt are used complementary in the sunxi-kernel?
<Turl>
nazcafan: fex is allwinner's in house "dt competitor"
<Turl>
if you're going to use linux-sunxi 3.4, you'll need fex
<nazcafan>
what about linux-sunxi 3.10? (just curious)
<nazcafan>
Turl, libv so if I add the mac address and it turns out I don't need it, it won't hurt, will it? or is it going to generate a binary that's utterly unworkable?
<Turl>
nazcafan: nah it won't hurt
<Turl>
nazcafan: 3.10 is completely experimental, it's supposed to be a fex/dt hybrid
