I regretted buy the h8vr device...
<MoeIcenowy>
I should buy the a31s netbook instead :-(
<jelle>
MoeIcenowy: is there an h8vr android sourcecode dump somewhere?

wonders if there are just laptop case projects, so you could insert your own board + lipo batteries :)

olimex and soma68 are the projects i know to dabble into allwinner netbooks, but they are probably board specific
<KotCzarny>
if you aren't bound on esthetic value, you can just slab pieces together and call it diy ghetto netbook
<KotCzarny>
pity that usb/hdmi plugs are so big to integrate easily
popolon has joined #linux-sunxi
<jelle>
KotCzarny: yup requires some research
<jelle>
could even lasercut a wooden laptop :p
<KotCzarny>
but to have a working thingie you need: board, screen, battery, kb and some frame to keep them together, no additional tools/electronics are required
<KotCzarny>
as i've said, it's up to thickness and esthetic value ;)

I added a Cubieboar4 to my SBC collection and was just looking at the mainlining effort and if there is anythign I can help with for A80
<BenG83>
so I try to figure out who is working on what issue
<BenG83>
but I am mostly a hardware designer for embedded systems, most code I write are drivers and my experience with Linux kernel development is limited

<jelle>
BenG83: guess, start with getting it booting :)
<BenG83>
yeah I follow that since I got a lot of Allwinener boards :)
<BenG83>
but I really like the work linux-sunxi is doing
<BenG83>
most other SoCs have a lot more convoluted basic firmware setups
<BenG83>
even if the general view on AW is not that great from the outside

A64 tablet is too rare to be found

an A64 q8 form factor 2Gb ram tablet should be possible under 60$ today
<MoeIcenowy>
Gb or GB?
<KotCzarny>
he doesnt know the difference
<silviop>
Gib
<KotCzarny>
GB
<KotCzarny>
b is for bits
<KotCzarny>
B for bytes
<KotCzarny>
B=8b
<silviop>
i is for 2^x
<silviop>
GiB
<KotCzarny>
nope.
<MoeIcenowy>
ok my new tablet needs some u-boot porting
<KotCzarny>
silviop: 2Gb == 256MB
BenG83_1 has quit [Quit: Leaving]
BenG83 has joined #linux-sunxi
<silviop>
2Gb = 2000000000 bytes
<silviop>
2Gib = 256 MiB
<MoeIcenowy>
to be honest my new tablet's best point is the USB host port
<Patsie>
2Gb is 2000000000 bits
<MoeIcenowy>
it's why I buy it
<Patsie>
2GB is 2000000000 bytes
<Patsie>
2Gib is 2147483648 bits
<Patsie>
2GiB is 2147483648 bytes
<KotCzarny>
2Gb == 256MB
<Patsie>
but yeah, here nobody cares about the Gi or G difference :)
<Patsie>
but band B is a big issue :)
<Patsie>
b and B
<silviop>
before networking nobody cares about b and B !!
<Patsie>
so, that's like.. the 1960's ?
<silviop>
before Ethernet netwoking uses baud (that is not everytime bit/sec)
<walkiry>
mripard: yea i understand. But maybe you set configuration in fuse to activate it once and for all (like the freescale HAB) and then the bootROM will check the signature with fused key.
<Patsie>
silviop ethernet never used baud. ethernet is digital. your analog modem uses baud

When specifying storage values in computers, the 1024 base is assumed. But the bit and byte aren't. They *should* be byte, but some people like to speak in bits. Mostly people trying to pull a con.

mripard: I think things are going strange on my new tablet...
<MoeIcenowy>
with mainline u-boot it always fail to read zImage from mmc
<MoeIcenowy>
neither can it successfully access a EHCI-attached USB disk
fkluknav has quit [Ping timeout: 240 seconds]
<MoeIcenowy>
it succeeded in read boot.scr and dtb file, but when reading zImage it shows "Error reading cluster"
<MoeIcenowy>
This issue is always reproducible on this device, but on my other A33 devices it cannot be reproduced even with this card
