i own several allwinner based boards, now i got a couple based on soc Samsung 4418 made by friendlyarm. there are few iso image (the debina one doesnt works, and androind average works). shortly, software support os poor, i am looking for a community, if any. some one of you alwinner user have notice about?

premoboss: I did some research a few months ago about the Nexell/Samsung 6818, which is the 64-bit cousin of the 4418, AFAICT
<apritzel>
premoboss: and I basically came back empty :-(
<premoboss>
:-(
<apritzel>
premoboss: but ....
<apritzel>
I started working on 6818 upstream support
<premoboss>
netting now a image ubunto core qte, let me see it it go.

with the help of some other guy we can have the UART and some basic clocks working with a mainline kernel
<premoboss>
as usual they put on good hardware with f*ck software.
<apritzel>
premoboss: and I have a USB tool to speak the Nexell protocol

premoboss: yeah, I see this as an opportunity to fix this ;-)
<premoboss>
i connect nanonpi M2 ti 7'' display and android 5.1 goes. debian not. now i try ubuntu...
<premoboss>
stay tuned for news :-)
<apritzel>
premoboss: the kernel provided by them is beyond discussion, it's actually much worse than Allwinner's
<apritzel>
so I don't care the tiniest bit about some images based on that, sorry ....
<apritzel>
but MMC, UART, USB and Ethernet look solve-able from an upstream kernel perspective
<BenG83>
since final SOPine boards are on their way to various people, should I start a new wiki page or is it just a Pine64 variant?
<BenG83>
most if the information should be redudant I guess?

BenG83: I got SoPine.
<BenG83>
niec
<BenG83>
I still have the old one
<BenG83>
without SPI flash and eMMC
<BenG83>
did you get a eMMC module MoeIcenowy ?
<MoeIcenowy>
plaes: it's scheduled to be crowd-funding in this week
<MoeIcenowy>
BenG83: nope, but the base board have eMMC slot
<BenG83>
Tl said the eMMC modules should be available in limited quantities next week
<MoeIcenowy>
I only get one eMMC module shipped with new version of Pinebook mainboard
<BenG83>
ok
<BenG83>
I wanted to look into DRAM parameter tuning with my SO module
<MoeIcenowy>
but I will now go on mainline SoPine SPL support.
<BenG83>
do we know what autoconfiguration features the A64 DRAM controller has over the old from the A10/...
<BenG83>
I havent found much documentation

jernej: the picture was taken with your patches, but an older version, from last week, I think
<apritzel>
MoeIcenowy: I am preparing the patches I have so far for LPDDR3
<apritzel>
MoeIcenowy: I checked my boot0 disassembly for when it looks at the dram_type parameter
<apritzel>
MoeIcenowy: and identified a few registers that get set up differently
<apritzel>
then tried to find out what the bits mean
<apritzel>
I will push it ASAP

thx ;-)
<MoeIcenowy>
I will first try apply the timing info found in A83T code that is used for Banana Pi M3
<MoeIcenowy>
plaes: I still do not know...
<plaes>
ok, thanks :)
<MoeIcenowy>
plaes: should be Indiegogo

BenG83: given that we have separate pages for very similar OrangePi boards, I'd vote for having a separate page for the SoPine as well
<apritzel>
BenG83: with SPI flash, eMMC and LPDDR3 and the potentially quite different future uses of the module we have enough to justify this, I think
<BenG83>
ok
<apritzel>
(looking beyond the base board usage here)
<MoeIcenowy>
apritzel: I heard that TL is doing a "SoPine cluster board"
<apritzel>
MoeIcenowy: yeah, the plan is quite old, but I haven't heard an update of that for a while
<BenG83>
I think it was restarted now ;)
<BenG83>
but I havent seen/heard any details
<apritzel>
MoeIcenowy: BenG83: but indeed this cluster board is a neat thing and the actual reason I am interested in the SoPine
<apritzel>
apart from SPI flash, maybe
Da_Coynul has joined #linux-sunxi
<MoeIcenowy>
he said that the board will have a on-board switch that connects 7 SoPines
<MoeIcenowy>
and with one more port exported
<BenG83>
so 1+7?
<apritzel>
BenG83: 8 port network switch, one port external, 7 internal to the modules
Andy-D has quit [Ping timeout: 256 seconds]
<BenG83>
yeah he said they found a way do drop the magnetics that did not involve backplane PHY or FPGA
<BenG83>
I looked into GbE backplane PHY solutions a while back but couldn´t find any available through distributors
<MoeIcenowy>
apritzel: and only module 0 will have eMMC slot
<MoeIcenowy>
other modules depends on SPI Flash to load U-Boot, then boot via network
<MoeIcenowy>
apritzel: thus I will wait for you ;-)

has anyone else had problems with booting allwinner tablet from SD card? I have to try power it on like 20 times before it boots to sd card. Or could this be just a loose connection for the µSD?
