hi, i wrote a guide for crosscompiling and installing gentoo for olinuxino a20. THIS IS STILL WORK IN PROGRESS and following the guide will not give you a working install! http://paste.debian.net/93213/ I am pasting this for feedback!
<plaes>
nabblet: why don't you add ti to wiki?
<plaes>
s/ti/it
<nabblet>
plaes: because it is not ready yet. Also this is more of a personal scrachpad right now. as soon as my process is reliable and resulting in a working setup i will publish accordingly
<nabblet>
plaes: also my guide might be more suitable for olimex and gentoo-embedded... so right now i am not fokusing on any wiki-style or wiki-requirements
<nabblet>
plaes: that said i'm eager to contribute to your wiki if things are working :)
<nabblet>
also because i got lots of help here :)
<nabblet>
but now i want to know: is it understandable, is it clear to follow, and maybe where i am missing an important step
<nabblet>
(i get kernel panic because of missing init - i have not investigated yet)
<nabblet>
plaes: you should copy my paste, save it as html and look at it in a webbrowser

hello

<y0g1>
are there any plans to release something similar to cubietruck but with better cpu ?

A20 is a pretty good CPU
<rm>
you'll be hard-pressed to find something genuinely better
<y0g1>
rm it is to slow for mysql database + bind + minidlna + mldonkey +.... setup
<rm>
as in: same feature set, same level of support in open-source code, and similar price
<y0g1>
rm: I know, but there are better cpu models, similar to A20
<rm>
are you sure it's the CPU, and not your storage?
<y0g1>
rm I would like to see knew cubietruck board model with one of them
<rm>
what's your OS installed on?
<y0g1>
y0g1: I use sata 2TB drive
<rm>
okay
<y0g1>
rm: armedslack with kernel from linux-sunxi
<specing>
y0g1: buy an intel
<bfree>
did you set the governor to performance or something saner then 60MHz?
<y0g1>
starchild: does mysql will speedup with it? I don't thnik

<hramrach>
bfree: why is comparing to P4 silly? the netburst architecture sucked so much that it might actually approach the performance levels of an A10 ;-)
<hramrach>
actually, the A10 has memory performance of about half an odroid which has memory performance of about an Atom CPU which uses the old Pentium chipset so ..
<bfree>
hramrach: produced 2000-2008 so at best 6 years old, old space-heaters at this point ;)
<hramrach>
and an A10 gives comparable performance without the heat
<starchild>
hramrach: what is A20 comparable to?
<hramrach>
an A10
<starchild>
no diff?
<hramrach>
there it no impressive performance improvement
<hramrach>
the performance is different but not even obviously better
physis has joined #linux-sunxi
<rm>
afaik it's somewhat slower on single-threaded workloads
<hramrach>
depends on the workload
<hramrach>
if memory bound it depends on your memory tuning
<hramrach>
and there a20 has more options but is not obviously faster either
<hramrach>
and given the used core a10 has fester neon (usually only of use for hand-craftes decoder routines) but on a20 you can mix neon and non-neon arithmetic with little penalty which is more comppiler friendly
<hramrach>
and so on
physis has quit [Ping timeout: 252 seconds]
<specing>
If the A10 ran at 3.6Ghz it would probably suck as much as the pentium4, despite it being 6 years newer tech
<hramrach>
the core design for A10 or any arm for that matter sucks. That's why in spite of Samsung having almost as good manufacturing process as Intel they cannot produce a CPU anywhere nearly as powerful as Intel

<Renard>
Hello everyone! I bought a A20-based device with no prior knowledge that libstagefright/xbmc wouldn't work properly with it. Read a bit about the issue and well, here I am. Thanks for trying to tackle the issue.
<oliv3r>
Renard: so what exactly is your question?
<Renard>
So far, none. I'm reading the wiki to learn more about that chip.
<oliv3r>
so what issue is in need of thanks on trying to tackle?
<Renard>
Work on integrating CedarX support, in order to get proper 720p/1080p playback
<Renard>
ARM GPU blobs seem to be quite a mess

<Renard>
Well, the generic question would be along the lines of "how the heck do I make this thing work?", but it seems the wiki already has quite a lot of stuff covered
