07:21.41hnodevicetree is defenitely the right path for script.bin.
07:25.43mnemoc.ini files are nicer read :p
07:30.04hipboican't we put the pin in mach-sun4i/machine.c?
07:30.34hipboimost of the pins are the same
07:31.37mnemochipboi! any news about the gpl-violating 3.0.8+ tree/diff/snapshot? :)
07:32.54hnothe diff gpl-violating?
07:34.09mnemoctree/diff/snapshot are three forms (by preference) of sharing their closed and still gpl-violating 3.0 tree
07:35.08hnoanything particular we need from it?
07:35.31mnemocnot sure until I see it ;-)
07:37.59mnemochno: a part I fail to understand about devicetree is that it seems to be intended for having a single kernel binary for several boards and several SoC/machines
07:38.20mnemocbut on the other side we have the machine_type thing which does the exact oposite
07:38.36mnemocdestroying the purpose of devicetree
07:39.57mnemocalso, from a more eoma-ish perspective, can this tree be updated on runtime when a suspended card gets moved from one device to another?
07:49.44A0Shedslkcl:  here's the updated proposal for GSOC and RTEMS  https://docs.google.com/document/d/1FMtNfxkYSVM4-QY-zBrMJQMDSL7Nvo8GeUr7xinzOYc/edit?pli=1
07:50.20A0Shedsfeel free to make and suggestions, additions or more details
08:28.44hipboimnemoc: got reply from market guy, by the end of this month the 3.0 kernel will be open
08:28.54hipboitogether with the A10 spec.
08:35.13mnemochipboi: great :)
08:36.01mnemochipboi: but wondering, is this bound to the launching of the sun5i?
08:36.20hipboisun5i is already selling
08:36.41hipboibtw, i am going to marry by the end of this month
08:36.53mnemoc\o/
08:37.08mnemoccongratulations hipboi
08:37.14hipboimy girlfriend is pregnant, so...
08:37.39mnemocI also wish you are allowed to have more than 1 child soon :)
08:37.53hipboibut i am too young to be a father...
08:38.14hipboii am worried every day
08:38.18mnemocI had my first daughter been 21
08:38.28QingPeihipboi: congratulations~~~
08:38.45hipboimmemoc: really?
08:38.57hipboii am 24 this year.
08:39.01mnemocit was tough, but it absolutely worth it
08:39.05hipboiQingPei: thank you
08:39.26hipboii think i am having a tough time now.
08:40.58mnemocit's probably harder there as you live in company provided dorms, family been always far away, etc etc
08:43.05hipboii live in a rent house, it's true family is far far away
08:52.45mnemocbeen able to see your children daily is the best power source, gives a completely new reason to do things.. but it's hard to adjust :p
08:54.40mnemochipboi: changing topic back to linux sources, will that release include sun5i support?
08:55.02hipboii think sun5i source will not release
08:55.17hipboii am not sure
08:55.34mnemocthat's a part of chinese strategies I fail to understand
08:55.43hipboiyeah
08:55.53hipboii don't understand either
08:56.23mnemocmaking the source publicly available (and mainlined) helps allwinner to sell more
08:56.39mnemocand reduce internal burden
10:48.04specingohay hipboi...
10:48.08specingnwm..
10:50.58lkclA0Sheds: taaaaa
11:10.29MaDMaLKaVquick question, currently we need the console for booting any kernel on the a1000 right?
11:11.58MaDMaLKaVsecond quick question, the cable for connecting it to the a1000, is like those old cables for cdrom audio connection to the motherboard, right?
11:31.26mnemocMaDMaLKaV: in most normal cables are pins are 2.54mm away, in the mele a1000 they are 2.00mm
11:32.24MaDMaLKaVyeah, but those old cdrom cables had dual headers normally and I *think* the second header is 2.00mm
11:33.00MaDMaLKaVdon't have any at hand to take a photo but they should be easy to get, tomorrow I have probably go to ponteareas to do some stuff and I can stop in that sotre I worked some years ago and grab some
11:34.26mnemocMaDMaLKaV: you are from galicia, right? if you happen to pass by Corunna (city) I can give you a few 2.00mm-2.54mm jumper wires. I received 80 today :p
11:35.37MaDMaLKaVlol. I travel a lot along all galicia, but mainly south part. If I get to go to Corunha I will tell you here to go for a beer :)
11:35.58mnemoc^^
11:36.39mnemocIn the mean time I can send you some cables by mail too
11:38.15MaDMaLKaVif they are the ones I think, I can get them easily here. lemme look for a photo...
11:38.40MaDMaLKaVhttp://www.google.es/imgres?hl=gl&sa=G&gbv=2&tbm=isch&tbnid=O8rFmSBpqhd1LM:&imgrefurl=http://www.pacificcable.com/Picture_Page.asp%3FDataName%3DAudio-Y&docid=uH3spZ5rd7O8AM&imgurl=http://www.pacificcable.com/photos/Audio-Y.jpg&w=430&h=432&ei=sBuET872E8KFhQeWleDXCA&zoom=1&iact=rc&dur=680&sig=100225867521477863311&page=1&tbnh=149&tbnw=144&start=0&ndsp=46&ved=1t:429,r:4,s:0,i:73&tx=37&ty=75&biw=1920&bih=986
11:39.45mnemocMaDMaLKaV: nope, http://www.ebay.es/itm/280839459714
11:40.04mnemoci don't think that connector will fit
11:41.36MaDMaLKaVok, if I can't get it here I will send you a PM to get some of yours, thanks for the offer
11:42.12mnemocyw
11:43.51mnemochttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=In635nKlMfo <--- allwinner a13/sun5i based tablet!
11:44.35mnemocsomehow I expected it to be cortex-a9...
11:45.16mnemocboxchip == allwinner
11:45.59mnemocpuzzled
11:46.30mnemocIt seems it's still sun4i
11:46.42mnemocjust a castrated a10
11:46.50MaDMaLKaVyeah
11:47.16MaDMaLKaVthat is what people of nvsbl told me last time I was with them, allwinner was making a stripped down version of a10 for the chinese market
11:48.06mnemocTom said some ours ago they were already selling sun5i chips, but he can't disclose specs
11:48.29mnemocthat's why I got overexcited about this A13
11:48.31MaDMaLKaVuntil we don't have source code, I don't care about other cpus
11:48.41MaDMaLKaVonly thing bringing me here is a cheap soc with available code
11:48.42mnemocfully agree
11:49.06MaDMaLKaVand if I can get xbmc running on it, I'm sure I can get a spanish company to sell it here
11:50.08mnemocmele a1000/a2000 + xbmc ?  or your own hardware?
11:51.11MaDMaLKaVmele
11:52.21mnemocnice
11:55.02MaDMaLKaVhave to leave, see you later
14:25.18traeakwat's stripped out of the a13?
14:25.23traeakprobably sata i gather
14:26.37mnemocthe tablet of the video doesn't have hdmi
14:45.25traeaklogical to tear that out as well
14:45.26traeakhmm
14:48.52mnemoca13 is a great replacement for all devices that normally would be happy with arm9/11
14:52.13traeak"entry level armv7"
14:52.16traeakwhich is pretty necessary
14:54.32traeakwonder if it has neon
14:58.50*** join/#arm-netbook hp_ (~hp_@p5B38B578.dip.t-dialin.net)
16:40.29MaDMaLKaVback
16:45.38MaDMaLKaVhope hipboi gets back soon, I want to ask him about the licensing of the video decoder
16:46.03*** join/#arm-netbook lkcl (~lkcl@host86-131-175-252.range86-131.btcentralplus.com)
16:46.39mnemocMaDMaLKaV: the library is closed sorce
16:47.09mnemocand "marketing" doesn't have any interest in opening it
16:48.34specingfucking marketing
16:49.28traeakfor the a13 you mean?
16:49.51specingOpensourcing everything would probably kill just about any cortex-a* vendor out there
16:50.17mnemoctraeak: I'm assuming he means https://github.com/amery/allwinner-a10-video
16:50.46mnemocthat's client-side code and documentation, all public domain
16:51.07mnemocat least that's what Tom said
16:52.24mnemoc.a files are there too in case someone wants to reverse engineer stuff
16:53.34mnemocthey come from the SDK, given to anyone paying $1000 for the official devkit
16:53.34traeakthose libraries need to be licensed per cpu or something
16:54.42mnemocit's so absurd considering it will only work on their chips, so better support durectly means more sales
16:56.18MaDMaLKaVwell, l know some people meeting with mele in the next days, they will try to convince mele to tell allwinner to gives us a gpl compliant interface to the video decoder, let's see if seeing companies that are pending of buying some thousand units asking for it help us
16:56.25MaDMaLKaVhave to leave, later
17:04.43traeakall the fun of who pays the codec licensing fees
17:57.28MaDMaLKaVback
18:22.40lkclhello back
