00:57.00Hexxeht0dbld|work: ah! interning at google, yeah (more epic delay)
00:57.09t0dbld|workhaha
00:57.13t0dbld|workim here this time Hexxeh
00:57.20Hexxehepic delay on my part :P
00:57.25t0dbld|workits ok
00:57.35t0dbld|worki sent ya a tweet to but im sure those get lost LOL
00:57.47Hexxehbarely checked my twitter since i got here :P
00:57.59t0dbld|workno I sent on day of org msg
00:58.09Hexxehi mean for like, the last week :P
00:58.13t0dbld|workoh LOL
00:58.34Hexxehusually i'd constantly have twitter open on my iMac but i'm switching between so many machines these days i forget to check
00:58.42t0dbld|worki prob got some questions coming your way soon about chromimum OS ... so well have more epic delays coming LOL
00:58.48Hexxehsure :P
00:59.04t0dbld|worki am porting it now to these a10 tabs
00:59.19t0dbld|worknow that i got gentoo and what not working '
00:59.37t0dbld|workthe sdcard test builds seems to be the hard part
01:00.13t0dbld|workHexxeh: do you know off top of your head what it checks for at boot , that makes it "rebuilding FS"
01:00.26t0dbld|workdoes it jsut run a partition check ?
01:00.32Hexxehi must admit i've not seen that
01:00.42Hexxehbut it might say something like that if it thinks it's in recovery mode
01:00.44Hexxehwhat's your cmdline?
01:01.10t0dbld|worki can boot it but get stuck in that
01:01.40t0dbld|workwell I booted it using my working kernel for tab ,  and my uboot , etc
01:01.44t0dbld|workso alot is not right
01:01.48Hexxehsure
01:01.54Hexxehwell, take a look at /sbin/chromeos_startup
01:01.55t0dbld|worki honestly have not spent the time digging into source as i should
01:02.05Hexxehiirc there's a branch in there for recovery mode
01:02.12Hexxeheh, for boot related stuff you don't really need source
01:02.14Hexxehmostly shell/upstart jobs
01:02.51t0dbld|worki jsut wasnt sure if it was checking for the 12 partitions or what was causing that
01:03.06Hexxehyou'll need to follow the same layout
01:03.09Hexxehelse it'll fall over
01:03.26Hexxehfor getting things up and running, booting it from USB is often easiest
01:03.38t0dbld|workya dont have that option on tablet :-P
01:03.43Hexxehno USB ports?
01:03.59t0dbld|workeven the host port wont boot from it
01:04.09t0dbld|worki will boot from sd
01:04.14Hexxehoh, SD should be okay
01:04.23Hexxehbut then it'll be mmcblk0pX right?
01:04.37t0dbld|workthe arm-generic wont boot as is thoug h
01:04.53t0dbld|worki assume its either uboot - or the generic kernel hard to tell
01:05.08Hexxehif you're seeing recovery mode
01:05.08t0dbld|worklike i said need to look at source for that stuff
01:05.15Hexxehi'd imagine your partition layout is screwed
01:05.24t0dbld|workya
01:05.26Hexxehprobably stateful isn't where it expects it to be
01:05.32t0dbld|workbut thats how i got it to boot
01:05.36t0dbld|workyeah ^
01:06.29t0dbld|workHexxeh: is it relying on the UID for partitions checking or the actual position ?
01:06.40HexxehUUID you mean?
01:06.42Hexxehnot afaik no
01:06.47Hexxehjust the position in the table
01:06.49t0dbld|workas i see it labels all of them automatically
01:06.53Hexxehit assumes stateful is partition 1
01:07.02Hexxehit has to be GPT formatted too
01:07.15t0dbld|workwell i got to recovery in MBR :-P but i agree
01:07.52Hexxehah, that's why then
01:07.54HexxehMBR isn't gonna work
01:07.58t0dbld|workyeah
01:07.59Hexxehit'll try to run cgpt and then die
01:09.02t0dbld|workyeah ... so like i said first thing is i need to create a new uboot for it cause the generic one for arm doesnt boot the tab ... is it putting the uboot in 12 ? or is it still writting it the mbr ?
01:10.47Hexxehon an arm-generic image, u-boot isn't on the image at all
01:10.56Hexxehit's supposed to be installed via other means
01:11.14t0dbld|workahh well wtf is in 12 than ... i guess i read conflicting pages lol
01:12.14t0dbld|workhonestly this would prob be easier to do on nand than sdcard :-P but i dont feel like rewritting nand a million times as i play with this
01:16.19t0dbld|workand last question before i actually do the rest of my needed homework :-P .... The kernel partions : is there anything else in it ? i guess what i mean is im trying to be lazy and not re do work till im closer so if i wrote it a new uboot could i just write my existing working kernel over it ?
01:16.46Hexxeh12th partition has u-boot scripts
01:17.00t0dbld|workk
01:17.58t0dbld|workya it comes up as a EFI

05:05.20ZaEarlthanks steev, it's pretty good to be compared to Apple.
05:05.41steevZaEarl: where's the ARM one man, hurry up and take my money
05:06.10ZaEarlarm laptop? definitely looking more and more likely someday
05:07.21steevyeah, the mx6 can handle it, assuming most of the bugs are worked out with next month's tapeout
05:07.41steev+opengl +opencl, i wanna run it through some paces, but waiting
05:09.52ZaEarlThe closed drivers are such a pain, they limit what we can do.

05:22.37steevi agree that it sucks but if you have the knowhow and proven record you can get the sources under nda, which is good for fixing bugs faster than waiting on fsl to fix them
05:23.06steevof course, at that point, you have to wait on libv or someone to make a free driver, and you can't help :(

08:06.33mnemochno: how do you reboot into fel?
08:11.16mnemochno: using the jumper of found a software way?
08:12.26hnomnemoc, either by using the jumper, or by sending 2 over serial to the Allwinnre bootloader.
08:12.55mnemocsending 2?
08:13.37hnothe Allwinner bootloader accepts 1 / 2 / 3 commands for different boot modes. Just send the key on the serial port while boot1 is booting.
08:13.51mnemocoh
08:13.56mnemocnice
08:13.57hno1 is USB storage mode. 2 is FEL, 3 is keytest.
08:14.34hnobut we have no keys on the Mele..
08:15.01hnoI use the jumper.
08:15.40hnoDo the arm-netbook mailinglist work?
08:16.27mnemocI haven't received any mail since friday I think
08:17.01hnoSems to have died on Sunday.
08:18.45hnohave alerted lkcl.
08:19.08hnomnemoc, you saw my little fel.c program?
08:19.48mnemocyes, looks nice :)
08:20.57mnemochno: try alerting phil hands (com) ... he seems to be who manages the mailing list server
08:24.57hnodone.
08:25.34mnemoclibusb-based code looks much nicer than what I expected

09:46.47cnxsoftHas antbody tried to build u-boot recently ?
09:47.07cnxsoftThe version I've built (hno) can not boot at all
09:54.28lkclhno: you haven't! :)
09:54.41lkclmnemoc: no, it's my friend alain williams.
09:54.50lkclhno: ok, you have now
09:57.46lkclalain's moving things over to IPv6 so that could be part of the problem - it was last time
10:40.21mnemoccnxsoft: hno using the current head of sun4i?
10:40.23mnemocerr
10:40.28mnemoccnxsoft: using the current head of sun4i?
10:40.39cnxsoftmnemoc: yes
10:40.45cnxsoftI'm trying another toolchain
10:40.48cnxsoftit could be the issue
10:41.28mnemocit was broken a couple of weeks because some changes in upstream but hno downgraded it
10:41.50cnxsoftI've just build it now with gcc 4.6.3
10:42.04mnemocwhat did you use before? 4.7?
10:42.27cnxsoftThis is what I did https://github.com/hno/uboot-allwinner/issues/10
10:42.46cnxsoftI mean I have problems with gcc 4.6.3 in Ubuntu
10:42.58cnxsoftnow I will try  with codesourcery instead
10:44.03mnemoccnxsoft: try this image once: http://www.henriknordstrom.net/code/A10/
10:44.13mnemocat least to discard other problems
10:46.01cnxsoftmnemoc: There is no spl there, only u-boot
10:46.13mnemocit's both
10:46.18cnxsoftah
10:46.19cnxsoftok
10:46.51mnemocit's a ready to dump 1MB image without partitions
10:46.51cnxsoftso I can just do dd if=u-boot-mmc-hno-201203.img of=/dev/sdb bs=1024 seek=8 ?
10:47.14mnemocno seek
10:47.44mnemocdd if=image of=card
10:48.55cnxsoftIt will wipe out my partition table... Maybe I'll skip that for now. If I use Tom u-boot (from ubuntu 10.04 image), it works.
10:49.47mnemocok
10:51.58mnemochave you tried a not hf toolchain?
10:53.34cnxsoftusing arm-linux-gnueabi-gcc gives the same result
10:53.49cnxsoftI've noticed the allwinner-meta may have the same issue
10:54.50cnxsoftand he's using gcc 4.7
10:54.55mnemocI found an spare card, I'll try hno's prebuilt image and then try to build my own.... I've been using the same spl since ages ago
11:03.20cnxsoftI still have the same issue using a different compiler
11:05.39mnemocdo you have a serial console to review the env?
11:06.58mnemocwell... is your problem getting the spl to boot? uboot to boot? or linux to boot?
11:20.17mnemocok, according to the ticket you don't eveb see the gretting of the spl
11:25.56cnxsoftmnemoc: Yes I don't get anything at all
11:26.20cnxsoftso the problem starts with the spl
11:30.16cnxsoftIf I use http://www.henriknordstrom.net/code/A10/hipboi-ubuntu-boot/uboot-spl.bin, instead of my sun4i-spl.bin it works fine
11:30.46cnxsoftThe size is quite different, mine is about 15kb, but hipboi one is 23kb

11:42.05mnemochno: ping
11:49.10mnemoccnxsoft: the v2011.09-sun4i tag works fine
11:49.41cnxsoftok, but in the future will we also use that branch ?
11:50.05cnxsoftI'm building u-boot because I'm writing a build script for nightly or weekly builds
11:50.26mnemocstick with the tag for now
11:50.48mnemocbut the branch will get fixed sooner than later
11:52.03mnemocbtw, if you are in the mood for testing, the `wip/linux-3.3-sunxi/forward-3.0-v2` kernel branch is begging for some attention :p
11:52.26mnemoc(usb gadget support is still broken)
11:54.49cnxsoftI'll finish the scripts to generate Linux distro first... then I'll see what I can do with the wip branch
12:02.11lkclhno, mnemoc: i rang alain, he'd archived a couple of old lists, which *shouldn't* have affected any others but in fact stopped mailman entirely working on his server, hurrah! :)  sorted now...

14:20.26zenitraMthat's to bind for the server, i want it for the client...
14:20.35zenitraMi mean, backwards
