Hi, i'm new to this channel, dunno if its the right place to ask questions related to the BananaPi?
<JimsonDrift>
I was wondering when kernel 3.19/3.20 will be available for BananaPi?
<JimsonDrift>
??
<NiteHawk>
patience :(
<NiteHawk>
hi JimsonDrift! there are alsome some (few) people around in #bananapi , but you're not wrong here either
<NiteHawk>
vanilla linux kernel 3.19 already supports bpi
premoboss has quit [Quit: Sto andando via]
<NiteHawk>
though you might prefer 4.0+, as that introduces dynamic frequency scaling for the A20 SoCs
<JimsonDrift>
sorry for the impatience. @NightHawk: Thanks for the info
<JimsonDrift>
you know how stable 3.19/4.0 are?
<NiteHawk>
i've tried with 3.19.2 and 4.0-rc6 and both worked well on my banana pi. however, specific features like (KMS) framebuffer and gpu/video acceleration are not supported in mainline kernel at the moment
<NiteHawk>
if you require that stuff, you're better off staying with 3.4.x
<JimsonDrift>
Well, i don't require that as i run it as a headless server with dvb-t stick and storage
<JimsonDrift>
that is: i WANT to run a dvb-t stick with it but the driver for that stick are only available on 3.18+ kernels
<NiteHawk>
then 3.19/4.0 should be fine. you'll probably also want a current u-boot (2015.04) to make the most out of recent mainline kernels (psci support)
<JimsonDrift>
thanks NightHawk

<deasy_>
no login on the console
<deasy_>
i think something has changed since the last time i have use cubian
prz has quit [Quit: Leaving.]
<deasy_>
ha it works
<deasy_>
xomb: what is your problem with cubian ?
<deasy_>
by it works i mean cubian works on my hardware
<xomb>
i'm trying to make ethernet/wifi to work
<deasy_>
ethernet must work out of the box
<deasy_>
wifi, you need the module of your key
<deasy_>
and the doc explain how to set a wifi network with wpa
<deasy_>
which step doesn't work ?
<xomb>
i'm sorry. i'm pretty new to all of this. what i thought might be the problem is that cubie was not intended for my board (i12-tvbox from a noname chinese manufacturer) and that the script.bin didn't include everything correctly
<deasy_>
yes probably
<deasy_>
you must use an image made for your hardware
<xomb>
so i built a script.bin from fex that has all the info needed but then cubie doesn't even boon
<deasy_>
else people here can help you with the config for your board i think
<xomb>
*boot
<xomb>
do you know maybe. if i just replace the script.bin file in the boot partition. could the system work? should i change something with it? maybe uImage (dunno what that is or how to change it)
<xomb>
that is not image made for my hardware btw
<xomb>
*no image
<xomb>
*there is not image made for my hardware... ffs my english sucks
<RandoMan70>
not only script.bin, but kernel too
<paulk-collins>
Turl, hi, could I get the wiki rights to remove pages?
<xomb>
fml
<xomb>
RandoMan70: even if i'm able to boot into cubie on my hw? doesn't that say that the kernes is good?
<RandoMan70>
xomb: kernel can be fine tuned to exact hardware - only drivers for hardware, existing on original board are compiled
<RandoMan70>
So if something differs in required configuration - kernel can boot, but not all hardware will work
<xomb>
i understand. and the only way to fix this is to start from the beginning and build a custom kernet with hwpack for my board? or is it possible to somehow open up the current kernel and insert the drivers needed
<deasy_>
what is the SoC of your box xomb ?
<xomb>
A20
<Turl>
paulk-collins: can't bureaucrats do that? :/
<paulk-collins>
Turl, apparently not :(
<Turl>
paulk-collins: what page do you want nuked?
<deasy_>
xomb: and the ethernet doesn't work out of the box ?
<RandoMan70>
xomb: in general there can be some tricks on your board
<deasy_>
so you have probably another chip...you need another kernel yes or compile it
<RandoMan70>
xomb: for example - some power sources, controlled by GPIOs
<paulk-collins>
Turl, https://linux-sunxi.org/Inet_3f for starters, but it'd be better if it could do it myself if I'm going to cleanup the wiki a bit
<Turl>
oliv3r: 26-31? I thought we had like 13 eints only
<RandoMan70>
But you should start to build a kernel to exactly yours SoC
<Turl>
paulk-collins: I'll look at the permissions again this afternoon
<xomb>
deasy_: the ethernet doesn't work out of the box. but eth0 is registered when i use 'ifconfig'
<deasy_>
have you examined this by eye ?
<deasy_>
it's the same chip ?
<paulk-collins>
Turl, thanks
<deasy_>
than on cubieboard 2
<RandoMan70>
xomb: possible that you see mac, but physics is not initialized yet
<xomb>
RandoMan70: i actually did build a kernel for my board and tried the whole proces several times. but i was unabel to do it succesfully. that was all before i desperately came to this chat a few days ago
<Turl>
paulk-collins: btw, before nuking redirects, please fix references (or just leave the redirects)

soon eating
<Turl>
it's a broadcom wifi+bt combo chip if memory serves
<Turl>
same as cubietruck
<xomb>
i also extracted the original sctipt.bin from it. i converted it into fex and compared with the one in sunxi-tools for i12-tvbox
<xomb>
its allmost the same fex
jinzo has joined #linux-sunxi

integrated circuits
<xomb>
bah. i'm such a noob :(
<RandoMan70>
By the way, can you access /proc/config.gz under any booting image?
<xomb>
so you think the script.bin isn't responsible for ethernet not working. rather the kernel is the one missing drivers or not configured right
<RandoMan70>
You can get it to build your own kernel, close to original but with changes for board
<RandoMan70>
Yes
<xomb>
i will try. i just took pictures of the board and am uploadig them with my slow internet
<xomb>
should i try to access the /proc/config.gz while the sdcard is mounted on my comp or when the system is booted on the board?
<RandoMan70>
It can be accessed only from running kernel
<RandoMan70>
So you should boot login and check
<xomb>
imma go do that right now
<RandoMan70>
just do zcat /proc/config.gz
<xomb>
now i can't boot into cubie anymore. i tried replacing (cp -i file destination) the script.bin in the /boot partition and couldn't boot cubie. then you told me kernel is connected to the script.bin. then i replaced the new scrypt.bin with the onld one and now i still can't boot cubie... damn
<xomb>
i did back up everything. even the working image
<xomb>
so i should be able to get it to work soon
<RandoMan70>
What about photos? :)

maybe this is it
<xomb>
i did the zcat
<xomb>
what am i looking for?
<RandoMan70>
You looking for a lot of text
<xomb>
there is a lot of text :) any text in particular that we are interested in?
<RandoMan70>
This text you can store to .config and build a kernel with it.
<RandoMan70>
This file (.config) is placed in the root of kernel source
<xomb>
ooooh nice nice nice
<NiteHawk>
i.e. that text *is* your kernel configuration. do a "zcat /proc/config.gz > .config"
khuey|away is now known as khuey

NiteHawk: it's close to one he need, but it only a base
<xomb>
saved the output to .config
<NiteHawk>
yes, it's a a starting point e.g. for "make menuconfig". but it should transpose to at least a usable configuration, even with different/newer kernel

first i put 10 7mb images to upload. but my net is just too slow. so i had to resize them in PS and upload in this smaller size. i hope everything is readable (enough)

xomb, where the hell does the "Semitime Qt840a" name come from?
<xomb>
i'm sorry but i don't understand wat you are getting at :/
<xomb>
semitime qt840a is basicly i12-tvbox with a different network chip. unfortunately there aren't any images premade for that specific hw
mauro_ has joined #linux-sunxi
<xomb>
if thats what you are asking... sorry i don't understand the question
<paulk-collins>
xomb, so i12-tvbox and qt840a are two different devices!
<xomb>
yes. but 99% the same
<paulk-collins>
they should have two different pages, fex, U-Boot and kernel config
<paulk-collins>
who cares!
<paulk-collins>
they're not the same board
<paulk-collins>
*many* devices are *very* close to the reference design
<xomb>
quote from semitime qt850a page: "But whereas the Q5 or I12_TvBox use a Ampak AP6210 Wifi/BT module, the QT840 uses the Ampak AP6330."
<paulk-collins>
xomb, is i12-tvbox written on the QT840 board?
<RandoMan70>
xomb: I see there wifi chip AP6210 and the second one is completelly onreadable, but it's ethernet physics
<RandoMan70>
You should compile drivers for both to kernel
<xomb>
the bottom one is the ampak chip. but the top one i don't know what it is...
<xomb>
i don't have the qt840 boeard. i'm sorry. i just have my noname i12-tvbox
<RandoMan70>
xomb: sure, qt840 has broadcom's 6330, but your board has 6210
<paulk-collins>
xomb, so IMHO you should create a new page and separate both devices
<RandoMan70>
xomb: is there any signs on upper chip?
<xomb>
RandoMan70: it has a logo that reads "IC" i think
<RandoMan70>
Anything more?
<xomb>
paulk-collins: i would, but i failed at jtag and allmost burned my board. i'm also really unexperianced and wouldn't want to misinform people
