gaby_: KVM works perfectly on A20. I use it as my test rig each and every day.
<gaby_>
nice
<gaby_>
maz_: which kernel version are you using ? 3.10 ? or simply a 3.4 ?
<maz_>
gaby_: just use a recent u-boot, and you'll be in business.
<maz_>
gaby_: no. use mainline. none of that 3.4, 3.10 thing is relevant.
<gaby_>
in order to have the hyp mode activated ?
kenny has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
<maz_>
gaby_: yes.
<gaby_>
ok, so mainline have support for a20 ? when looking at the website, it seems the port is not finished
<gaby_>
ie not upstreamed
<maz_>
gaby_: there is enough support in mainline to make it work. not everything is supported, nut if all you require is netowking and mass storage, this is perfectly useable.
<gaby_>
that is really good news, thanks

<megal0maniac_afk>
libv: Hey
<megal0maniac_afk>
Any idea about my kernel woes?
<megal0maniac_afk>
What is required for ethernet to work? Aside from the default defconfig, networking support in general and realtek phy support?
<megal0maniac_afk>
If I don't copy the modules into /lib, it works, which I find strange
ifjGery has joined #linux-sunxi

Oh, and more importantly the nand thing
<megal0maniac_afk>
Where apparently libnand formats nand when it doesn't understand it
<ifjGery>
hello
megal0maniac_afk is now known as megal0maniac
<ifjGery>
i made a bootable SD card, but it wont boot, any troubleshooting tips?
<megal0maniac>
ifjGery: Serial console is your friend
<ifjGery>
i'm at the serial console, waht should i see?
<megal0maniac>
The error that tells you why boot failed
<megal0maniac>
Reset the board with the serial console open. The last few lines before it halts should tell you what the problem is
<ifjGery>
actually, there is no error
<ifjGery>
no halting occurs, starts the nand automatically
<libv>
ifjGery: i just moved your page to Icoo_d50
<libv>
and i am now cleaning it up
<libv>
megal0maniac: i have no immediate clue about the ethernet issue
<ifjGery>
thankyou libv
<libv>
ifjGery: i do have some questions still
<ifjGery>
if i can help, please tell me
<libv>
ifjGery: good pictures btw
<megal0maniac>
ifjGery: That means that there's an issue with the bootloader
<megal0maniac>
On the card
<ifjGery>
libv: what ar teh questions?
<libv>
ifjGery: what amperage is your power supply?
<ifjGery>
megal0maniac: any good way to test, or just go through the tutorials again, and look for any faulty
deasy has joined #linux-sunxi
<libv>
ifjGery: check that you dd-ed the u-boot bits to the right places
<megal0maniac>
libv: Is it normal that it works if it can't find the modules to match the current kernel?
<libv>
megal0maniac: it isn't but i have no clue as to what that signifies.
<ifjGery>
libv: before that, i have one question, how do i know that the u-boot.bin file is combined with spl or not?
<libv>
megal0maniac: is network maneger getting in the way?
<libv>
ifjGery: both tend to get build
<libv>
built even
<libv>
ifjGery: so just pick one or the other option
<ifjGery>
okay, but i only find one and no spl version
<ifjGery>
maybe when i was editing the boards.cfg i should add SPL switch too?
<libv>
ifjGery: yes
<ifjGery>
i saw it on some boards, and no hint on adding anything other
<ifjGery>
great, brb gonna try
<libv>
ifjGery: most of the sunxi ones seem to have it
<megal0maniac>
libv: Not sure, not using X at the moment. The status lights on the port go dead shortly after boot
<libv>
megal0maniac: do you have miitool or miidiag or so installed?
<megal0maniac>
No
<libv>
megal0maniac: also, which modules get loaded that make it go dead?
<megal0maniac>
Don't know what those are

<megal0maniac>
The phyceiver itself is the only thing that isn't common between A20s
<megal0maniac>
(in terms of networking)
<libv>
megal0maniac: get one of those tools and see what the phyceiver states about the link
<libv>
then, find out what modules are getting loaded, and blacklist the likely culprits

My Linux dev knowledge is limited, but I shall start with that. :)
<libv>
megal0maniac: that's not "
<libv>
dev knowledge"
<megal0maniac>
Perhaps. But I've never needed to compile my kernel before
<ifjGery>
little bit of a problem, #include <fcntl.h>, seems like i did not seen this error befora and asumed that the compiling was good
<ifjGery>
how do i link it properly, tried linux/fcntl and asm-generic/fcntl too
<ifjGery>
link -> include
<libv>
ifjGery: where do you encounter this error?
<ifjGery>
compiling u-boot, after dumping the dram info
<ifjGery>
it made a c file, and in it there is this include
<libv>
did it? did you compare this to existing files?
<libv>
the tool might be outdated
<ifjGery>
not really.. but now i should i think
<ifjGery>
i'll try to copy one of the fcntl from linux-sunxi, maybe that will work
<libv>
ifjGery: no, compare this with other files
<libv>
if you find one that's exactly the same, use that, otherwise, create your own
<ifjGery>
okay
<libv>
ifjGery: also, if you boot into android, can you finish off the android identification information?
<ifjGery>
yes, ill fix my dram c file and will deal with it, but, i have one little problem, on the device there is no touchpanel, and i dont have any usb-otg cable, so, how can i get that info from adb?
<megal0maniac>
Ffff. SPI still doesn't work
<libv>
ifjGery: you got some file made already, no?
<libv>
something that came with fcntl?
<megal0maniac>
libv: Not sure what I was doing wrong, but it's fine now as expected (with realtek phy support included in kernel) but SPI will not work
<megal0maniac>
Or not appear in /dev/ rather
<libv>
megal0maniac: i have no idea about spi
<ifjGery>
actually, the C i got is nothin like the others, i blindly copyed over the stuff and did not think
<megal0maniac>
libv: Do you know about libnand wiping android?
<megal0maniac>
That's the other important thing I want to figure out
<libv>
megal0maniac: this was the issue with using the different layout between a10 and a20, right?
<libv>
ifjGery: how did you get that file?
Skaag has quit [Quit: Lost terminal]
<megal0maniac>
No, this is something else. Apparently android uses a different (newer) layout than what libnand (current version) understands. And it's been suggested that there's code in libnand that performs an unconditional format if it cannot access the nand partition table
<ifjGery>
if i remember correctly, i got it with fel
<libv>
megal0maniac: yikes
<ifjGery>
bootinfo
<libv>
ifjGery: cool
<libv>
ifjGery: then transfer those values by hand
<megal0maniac>
In reality, if you have android installed and you boot linux off an SD card, android breaks
<ifjGery>
and i copied bootinfo.c to board, that was the problem
<megal0maniac>
This is repeatable
<ifjGery>
libv: yes, now i know -.-
<libv>
ifjGery: check the adding the u-boot support stuff
<libv>
in the new device howto
<libv>
megal0maniac: that is really nasty, and should get fixed
<ifjGery>
seems like i overlookd something, my bad, anyhow now i'm fixing the thing
<libv>
megal0maniac: seems like you need to go neuter libnand
<megal0maniac>
libv: It's in libnand, so as I understand it, it isn't in our control. Apparently someone here knows more about the issue but nobody has spoken up
<libv>
megal0maniac: we have the code for an older version of libnand, it can get stopped
<libv>
ifjGery: i have tightened up your page
<libv>
ifjGery: please fill in the red bits
<libv>
ah, the link
<megal0maniac>
I'm afraid that's above my level of expertise
<megal0maniac>
But I'll dig around regardless
<megal0maniac>
Is it on github?
<ifjGery>
okay, going there now
<libv>
megal0maniac: it is in our linux-sunxi tree
<libv>
ifjGery: i have given the u-boot support and the fex file a proper name
<libv>
ifjGery: please make the patches match that
<ifjGery>
okay, on to that shortly
<megal0maniac>
libv: sunxi_nand?
<ifjGery>
if i do dd if=/dev/zero of=${card} bs=1M count=1, the partition table will wanish?
<ifjGery>
or just the bootloader?
Skaag has joined #linux-sunxi
<libv>
ifjGery: the partition table will also vanish
Xaros has joined #linux-sunxi
<torindel>
ifjGery: partition table is in first 512 bytes, bootloader is 256kb starting at 8kb of device
<ifjGery>
also, thats funny, because on the PCB it says ESC, but if i remember correctly it does home
<libv>
ok
<libv>
all we need to do now is get this thing running, and then have the patches submitted to our ml and comitted to the repos
<ifjGery>
okay, thanks fot the help
