Maybe the Opi Z 2 will have one like the Z had. How much shorter is that ethernet jack? That could be a nice thing. But it clearly costs board space and requires another router cut on the PCB.

net147, yeah, i meant spi-flash
<KotCzarny>
willmore, that lowprofile eth port is nice idea, but usb near by is full height so it's kinda wasted effort
<beeble>
oliv3r: yes

KotCzarny, good point. Also, if it's an H5 board, I want 1GB, not 515MB. That's a deal breaker for me.
<KotCzarny>
it could have it's uses. as a pocket heater for example
<willmore>
It's another FriendlyArm board that I look at and say "I hope this is useful to someone, because I have no use for it."
<willmore>
KotCzarny, no battery connector. :)
<jelle>
the neo air looks fun, bluetooth / wifi
<jelle>
willmore: I wish more board had battery connectors indeed
<willmore>
jelle, yeah, agreed.

The only board I have with one is the Pine-64 and last I head, it wasn't really functional, yet. Maybe after the Pinebook work gets folded back in.

hopes to make an esp8266 ws2812 light controller.
<KotCzarny>
or someone could make slap-on dongle that has barrelplug/microusb on one side, liion controller on the other side and dcin on the third side
<jelle>
willmore: should be doable, already made a word clock with it and soon hopefully a nice TL tube with leds
<willmore>
KotCzarny, true.
<willmore>
jelle, now that I solved my pilot error with my nodemcu board, I think things will progress a bit faster.
<willmore>
How was I supposed to know the Vin pin wasn't in parallel with the USB power? You know, like every other board out there. Seems they felt like doing a double diode isolation and putting the raw USB voltage on another pin at the other end of the board and labeling it VU. Whatever that means...

watch out for thunders
<KotCzarny>
otherwise, have fun

We had rain and thunder last week and snow this week. Can't wait for next week...
<KotCzarny>
thundersnow
<willmore>
Yep, seen it.
<KotCzarny>
would be fun if snow conducted electricity more easily
<willmore>
jelle, I dug out the scope and the logic analyzer to figure out what was going on. It never occured to me to check the freaking power... *sigh*
<jelle>
:(
<willmore>
KotCzarny, it does if you convert it into a plasma.
<KotCzarny>
now add some radioactive particles and make them react violently
<willmore>
On the plus side, I now have the scope and the logic analyzer out and near where the Opi Z is so I can start messing with the SPI on there.
<willmore>
Oh, and I found my SMD test clips.
<willmore>
KotCzarny, you want fusion thunder?
<jelle>
now you remind me if I should buy nice probes
<KotCzarny>
:)

I found out that the SOIC set I found in the trash at a hamfest is worth $100. The larger clips are worth half that alone.
<jelle>
nice
<willmore>
Oh, a hamfest is a swap market/rummage fest/rally sale for amateur radio gear.
<KotCzarny>
someone decided electronics is not his/hers hobby probably
<willmore>
KotCzarny, it started to rain and the outside vendors bailed. Many just leaving stuff were they put it and driving away. I sifted through a bunch of stuff. Went home with all kinds of stuff that day. I had been late to getting there--it was at the same time as a conference I was helping to run--and I didn't think I'd find anything because I was so late. :)

<oliv3r>
anybody ever noticed that our u-boot environment is not stored on a 'common eMMC erase blok boundary'?
<KotCzarny>
oliv3r, how often do you write env?
<oliv3r>
well it would be nice to do it atleast once no?
<willmore>
Isn't it in its completely own block?
<oliv3r>
it appears not so
<willmore>
:(
<oliv3r>
so we get a 'bad crc using default' now
<willmore>
Then what's the point for these rediculously complex partitioning schemes I keep seeing uboot use?
<oliv3r>
and save env concludes with 'failed'
<oliv3r>
erm, the env is stored outside of the partition
<oliv3r>
and eMMC has 4 hw based partition by default
<willmore>
Which board, chip, etc.?
<oliv3r>
OLinuXino A20 Lime2 with eMMC

<oliv3r>
though not sure if it is related to that, or something different entirly
<oliv3r>
in any case, currently, saveenv brakes eMMC access
<oliv3r>
ssvb: ^
<KotCzarny>
fun stuff
<KotCzarny>
but it's emmc, shouldnt it handle such things internally?
<oliv3r>
need to powercycle after trying saveenv
<KotCzarny>
so it doesnt matter which order blocks are written?
<KotCzarny>
maybe emmc is bad?
<KotCzarny>
ie. badblock/stuck bits?
<oliv3r>
depends, we currently are doing: MMC_CMD_SET_BLOCKLEN followed by MMC_CMD_WRITE_MULTIPLE_BLOCK
<beeble>
saves me some typing and i can go home :)

anyone been able to get retrorangepi working on orangepi lite? ive tried several versions but after installation it just goes into a continual reboot cycle. armbian works great on it
<goofie>
ive also gotten retrorangepi working on orangepi one with no issue
<goofie>
seems to have great success on all the other boards, i just can't get it working on my opi lite
