07:14.55sspiffI'm trying to build CM following the instruction on http://linux-sunxi.org/Starting_a_CyanogenMod_device_tree, but I don't have a "system/vendor/cm/" directory
07:17.41sspiffany idea why this would happen and how I could fix it?

10:00.00sspiffis anyone succesfully building JB for the allwinner SoCs?

10:08.48ZaEarlI'd guess, clone his repo https://github.com/allwinner-dev-team and switch to any jellybean branches that are there.
10:29.12RaYmAnI believe the biggest issue is the complete lack of video acceleration, due to how allwinner implemented it for ICS
10:29.28RaYmAnThat's my impression from talking to Turl anyways

13:18.52RaYmAnmnemoc: skumler.net/script.bin
13:19.24mnemoccurrently fex rending is only run after bin parsing succeeds
13:23.24RaYmAn'k. Fixed it by making unknown gpio port type not cause error but just warning.
13:23.47mnemocuh, and what comes out on the .fex?
13:24.46RaYmAnlcd_bl_en = port:P?01<1><0><default><1>
13:25.17RaYmAnobviously, broken stuff, but right now I can live with that - just needed to see the fex (there are three unknown gpios, presumably because this device is a13)
13:25.39mnemochow nice of fexc to not segfault :p
13:25.47RaYmAn:P
13:27.27RaYmAnI guess I just need to find out what port it was supposed to be so I can fix fexc :)
13:27.42mnemoc65535 looks like a very ugly port id even for A13
13:29.09RaYmAnI figured maybe it was just interpreting stuff wrong =P

14:22.03mnemoci never saw that port:power before

15:22.26RaYmAnmnemoc: if we're lucky that 203 number is wrong (or not a gpio...)...As far as I can tell there's four GPIO outputs on axp209
15:27.12RaYmAnmnemoc: I've confirmed that on my device, those powerX entries simply point to the axp209 GPIO port (I have schematics)
15:27.40mnemocpower[0123]
15:28.21RaYmAnyes
15:28.36RaYmAnit doesn't explain that 203 though..
15:28.37RaYmAnlol
15:29.03mnemocin both sample .fex files I saw that connected to usb_drv_vbus_gpio
15:30.15mnemocsomehow it doesn't feel like a typo :<
15:30.36RaYmAnhm, so I guess it could point at an LDO
15:31.05RaYmAnwell, until we find a device that actually requires it, just supporting 0-3 for AXP209 PMU gpios would be sufficient ;)
15:32.53RaYmAnWell, the AXP209 does have a VBUS output
15:33.32RaYmAnor input

17:40.41thefrogI have my Pi, i still ordered a Mele A100.  If i can make that useful for me, I'd like to get a few tablets
17:41.13rmA1000 > A100
17:41.28rmor A2000
17:41.42thefrogrm: I'm ok with no sata.
17:42.45thefrogi was wondering about ubooting from the network to be honest.. but i suspect that won't work well.
17:43.09thefrog(with a fallback to the Flash if not available)
17:43.38thefrogPie in the Sky .. mentally smacking myself
17:43.41rmSATA allows to use a SATA SSD which is so much faster than an SD card or network
17:43.58rmand they cost peanuts by now
17:44.33thefrogis the SATA hung off of SPI.  If the board has any pins exposed, i can get stuff soldered onto it.
17:48.07rmyeah sounds much easier than paying $5 more :)
17:48.09thefrogrm: what are you planning that needs that SATA bandwidth?
17:48.36thefrogrm: I completely grant you that.
17:48.44rmI don't use SATA at the moment
17:48.54rmjust don't see why anyone would prefer A100
17:49.13thefrogrm: i am without a good argument.
17:50.16specingBecause my soldering skills are over 9000 and SATA plugs are $0.3
17:51.03thefrogspecing: father is a retired jewler and loves to solder surface mount stuff.

17:52.15thefrogI completely didn't think of the SATA:SSD
17:52.34thefrogi thought: i don't want another hard drive.. the A100 is perfect
17:53.14thefrogIf i can get the A100 to do what I want, I can move on to getting other A10 devices.
17:53.34rmwhat do you want?:)
17:54.11thefrogI want a set top box replacement for 3 or 4 TVs and a few tablets at various places.
17:54.32thefrogTuning with a SiliconDust HD Homerun Prime and cable cards
17:54.45thefrogDVD/BD on SAN in a server room
17:54.57thefroganything heavy can be in the server room.
17:55.38thefrogSomething in the kithen for recipies
17:55.53thefrogsorta like the AMX stuff but not so closed and useless to me
17:56.09rmsounds interesting :)
17:56.30thefrogI got the Pi for that.. no MPEG2.  although I had a blast building an ARM toolchain
17:56.43thefrogso the Mele seemed nice.

17:57.09thefrogNot a very good programmer.. mostly integrate stuff for fun
17:57.29thefrogI found the mele through the xbmc forum.
17:57.58thefrogCompany I work for does a lot of ARM work, but not myself personally
17:59.17traeakmele is going to take some time
18:00.20thefrogtraeak: i can be patient.  I'd like to see if I can work on any of the kernel module stuff.  I was interested in the DRM module and the memory reservation thing.
18:00.38thefrogwaiting on my box.  Left CN on 7/13
18:01.46thefrogI've never done any android stuff at all.. was hoping for Linux.
18:02.25traeakthings looking up the for the a10 though in some ways
18:02.38traeakfrom the mailing list it looks like peopel did try to wear eva down
18:02.58thefrogas long as they stay nice.. good results are possible
18:07.42thefrogI think devices like this are really game changing

19:17.07rz2kI've checked many times, everything that is above 4.4 freezes cpu right after u-boot checks kernel and starts it
