hi all, i have just got an A80 tablet (a31s) and was wondering if i could put debian/ubuntu on it with a working lcd screen, i have looked http://linux-sunxi.org/A31 and it looks possible but am unsure where to start so any pointers would help

mcscruff: do you know the exact model of this tablet or some link?
<ssvb>
mcscruff: this tablet does not have usb host ports, which makes everything a bit more tricky because usb otg is still not supported in the mainline kernel
<ssvb>
mcscruff: but it's just a matter of time
<mcscruff>
is it not as simple as my mk808, where i just plugged an sd card in :(
<ssvb>
yes, it is not as simple yet
<mcscruff>
lol, ok :(
<mcscruff>
i will keep an eye on kernel updates
<ssvb>
what do you intend to do with the tablet? do you want to have all the graphics acceleration, etc?
<mcscruff>
no

<mcscruff>
i want to be able to browse web pages, use terminal, office
<ssvb>
basically, do you prefer the mainline kernel or the one from allwinner?
<ssvb>
browsing web pages may become possible relatively soon
<mcscruff>
im not worried about games or being able to stream 1080p movies. i want it so i can configure my server remotely using it, irc chat
<mcscruff>
terminal apps in android are just not the same
<ssvb>
ok, I see, with these requirements, the mainline kernel is going to be good enough soon
<mcscruff>
cool
<ssvb>
you are still encouraged to create a page for your device at the linux-sunxi wiki, this will surely speed up things
Skaag has quit [Ping timeout: 240 seconds]
<mcscruff>
i know i tried it before on my old 7" tablet that had an A10 in it but never had success
<ssvb>
mcscruff: oh, btw the picture at the link that you have provided seems to show a usb host port
<mcscruff>
im sure it has usb host
<ssvb>
mcscruff: that's cool, then your tablet might be already perfectly usable
<mcscruff>
it deffo does, i have a micro usb port that has host written on the case
<ssvb>
do you have root on this tablet?
<mcscruff>
yes
<ssvb>
if you could extract the fex file, then we could see if the LCD display is supported by u-boot - http://linux-sunxi.org/LCD
<ssvb>
some types of LCD displays are supported, but some of them need more work
<ssvb>
it offers a number of methods, one of them might work
<adj_>
ssvb, does you generic u-boot image support vga output?
<ssvb>
adj_: no
<adj_>
doesn't u-boot support it? or just your image?
<mcscruff>
im trying atm :)
<ssvb>
adj_: do you mean VGA on a13-olinuxino-micro, which is implemented as a kind of adapter from LCD?
popolon has quit [Quit: WeeChat 1.0.1]
<ssvb>
adj_: or some other device with real VGA?
<adj_>
sorry, it's the a13-olinuxino
<adj_>
i thought that A13 had real VGA output
<mcscruff>
i cant see a fex file
<mcscruff>
i mounted the /dev/block/nanda
<ssvb>
adj_: LCD can't be supported safely in a generic image, it needs a set of parameters which is unique for each display and can't be auto-configured
<mcscruff>
a magic.bin and script0.bin
<ssvb>
mcscruff: very cool, script0.bin is exactly what we need
<mcscruff>
ok, its now on my pc
<adj_>
ssvb: yes sorry
<ssvb>
mcscruff: it's a binary form of fex, and can be easily converted
<ssvb>
mcscruff: can you use git and compile simple programs?
<adj_>
should have read the manual!
<mcscruff>
yes i can but its late and i should really do this after i have slept
<ssvb>
mcscruff: ok :) good night
skaag1 has quit [Quit: Leaving.]
<mcscruff>
ssvb: lcd_driver_name = "b079xan01" << is that what i was looking for?
Andy-D has quit [Read error: Connection reset by peer]
<ssvb>
mcscruff: having the whole fex file would be great
<ssvb>
yeah, the identification, some pictures and basic specs are a reasonably good start for this page
<mcscruff>
i will do the pictures tomorrow
<mcscruff>
and the specs
<mcscruff>
i will commit the fex now
<ssvb>
don't delete anything from the template, just replace parts of it with the right information
<mcscruff>
ok
<ssvb>
good, thanks
<ssvb>
hmm, maybe "fiber_bs1078" is the right name after all
<ssvb>
or are there some references to the Polatab Elite name?
<mcscruff>
none
cnxsoft has joined #linux-sunxi
<ssvb>
mcscruff: the "Identification" section is supposed to help the users to identify their tablet, in this case "fiber_bs1078" is likely the right unique identifier
<mcscruff>
i will edit that in a mo, can i add an also known as
<ssvb>
just in case if Polatab Elite Q10.1 actually has somewhat different hardware
<mcscruff>
Your branch is up-to-date with 'origin/master'.
<mcscruff>
Untracked files:
<mcscruff>
fiber_bs1078.fex
<mcscruff>
did i do the commit command wrong? git commit -m ?
<ssvb>
yes, if your git is configured, then just "git send-email" the patch
<ssvb>
to the mailing list
<ssvb>
or attach the patch and mail it with your regular e-mail client
<ssvb>
btw, http://linux-sunxi.org/Yones_Toptech_BD1078 says that the YONESTOPTECH name is printed on the PCB, so Yones Toptech might be the original manufacturer of all these rebrands
<mcscruff>
might be, and tbh im not opening mine just yet
<ssvb>
I see
<mcscruff>
my patch is sending... (i hope, i think i set up the git email send correctly)
<mcscruff>
shouldn't take this long tho...
<mcscruff>
it failed so i sent it by normal email
<ssvb>
ok
<mcscruff>
and now its bed time, i will look at it more tomorrow and update the wiki
<mcscruff>
thanks for your help

I have tried the mainline code of uboot, and rebuild it for hummingbirid-a31, but it will show error that now invalid header of uboot

hey
<jackdaniel>
ive managed to bring nand_read to u-boot-spl on a20 devices
<mossroy>
I managed to compile a 3.17.6 kernel with his patch
<mossroy>
And it seems to be enabled, based on the output of cat /proc/crypto
<mossroy>
some tests with sha1sum give a real performance boost, compared to the same hardware on a 3.4.x kernel (the one provided by Olimex)
<mossroy>
It's twice as fast to hash a 3MB file
<mossroy>
My issue is that I don't see any performance difference with Apache2 mod_ssl
<mossroy>
I was hoping that it would speed up the TLS encryption of my HTTP traffic
JohnDoe_71Rus has joined #linux-sunxi
<mossroy>
But I'm not even sure that it SHOULD speed up SSL/TLS
<premoboss>
mossroy, probably mod_ssl does not take in cnsideration that patch.
<premoboss>
not alway what we hope than happen in rality :-(
<mossroy>
premoboss : that's possible
<premoboss>
maybe also mod_ssl need to be parched, not only the kernel
<mossroy>
Maybe the algorithms used in it are not handled by the crypto patch? Or even not handled by the hardware? I don't know
Netlynx has quit [Quit: Leaving]
<mossroy>
But I'm not sur mod_ssl needs to be patched. I use another hardware (a Sheevaplug), which also can handle hardware crypto acceleration. And the mod_ssl is the standard one from Debian repo
<mossroy>
And its TLS peformance seems to be much better than the Olinuxino A20 (although the CPU is much older, and single core)
<premoboss>
Maybe the algorithms used in it are not handled by the crypto patch? Or even not handled by the hardware? <--- could be
<premoboss>
also take in cosnideration the divverent verison of kernel on the 2 boards
<mossroy>
True, but the Sheevaplug has an older version of the kernel (3.8.11)
<mossroy>
As the Sheevaplug is older, it's now officially supported in the mainline linux kernel
<premoboss>
you should consider *identical* kernel on bothe the boards, older or newer kernel means nothing...
<mossroy>
In http://sunxi.montjoie.ovh/ ("Overview" section) , several algorithms are mentioned : CBC, ECB, CTS, CNT

Do you know a way to know which one(s) might be used by my SSL certificate?
afaerber_ has joined #linux-sunxi
<premoboss>
no
<mossroy>
Firefox tells me it uses "TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256, 128 bits"
<premoboss>
im not so skilled on that topic :/
<mossroy>
Me too...
<mossroy>
Never mind
<mossroy>
Thanks for your time anyway

try to search on web that string "TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256, 128 bits" and see

regarding mailing list - does u-boot patches also belong to linux-sunxi mailing list?

you need to use a cipher based on aes cbc

I generated the SSL certificate through CACert, and can generate another one if necessary. Are there options in my CSR that I could put so that to use a supported algorithm?
<montjoie[home]>
this is two separate problem
<montjoie[home]>
you dont need to regen a cetificate
<montjoie[home]>
the cipher is for each client/server session
mrcan has quit [Ping timeout: 255 seconds]
<mossroy>
ok. Is there a way to choose another cipher, on the server side? (I'm using Apache 2.2.22 on Debian Wheezy)
<montjoie[home]>
yes with sslciphersuite

Great! So there might be a solution to use the crypto acceleration in my case
