| 07:35.48 | rz2k | RaYmAn: I believe rm wants to learn what fpga is and see some CPU core go on fpga, with $30 it is impossible. and buying popular supported by community board that is capable of more than just running cpu itself is pretty great for futher education, right? |
| 07:36.18 | rm | at $30 a random person can get it just to see what the FPGA thing is all about |

| 12:08.48 | The-Compiler | are they just setting this as a limit in terms of power consumption? I'd open it and disconnect the harddisk bay and add an eSATA port instead anyways, and I'd use it with a drive with an external power supply |
| 12:09.52 | RaYmAn | I agree that I don't see any reason it wouldn't work (with plain linux and a suitable filesystem/partitioning) |
| 12:10.23 | The-Compiler | I'm already planning to add two MiniUSB ports, one for the internal USB-slave port, and one with a TTL to USB chip to have a serial console |
| 12:10.51 | RaYmAn | I'm sure someone here must have tried >1TB disks, if you wait around for while :) |
| 12:10.56 | The-Compiler | good :) |
| 12:11.16 | The-Compiler | I originally planned to get a Pandaboard or a CuBox as a NAS, but hacking this thing seems like fun (and it's cheaper, and I get more CPU power) |
| 12:11.35 | Turl | I have a Mele, with a 1TB disk |
| 12:11.40 | Turl | except I run it over USB :P |
| 12:11.46 | orly_owl | you monster |
| 12:12.16 | Turl | the samsung case is just too nice to break it :< |
| 12:12.21 | The-Compiler | I'm also wondering if I could desolder the 512MB RAM and add an 1GB chip instead, but I guess I'd be the first one being insane enough to try :D |
| 12:12.41 | Turl | 512M for NAS stuffs is more than enough :) |
| 12:13.16 | orly_owl | a nas that uses a10 soc would be nice |
| 12:13.35 | orly_owl | one with 2 or 4 3.5" bays |
| 12:13.58 | The-Compiler | if someone has a photo of the board where I can actually read the chip's names I'd be thankful :P |
| 12:18.10 | The-Compiler | gah, nevermind, the RAM is BGA, not going to try that |

| 13:26.33 | Marex | orly_owl: you'd be missing the DMA pumps that KW has so the performance would suck |
| 13:27.23 | hno | Boulet, how did you discover it's clocked wrong? |
| 13:27.44 | Mazon | not sure if this is old news but .. .: http://ao2.it/en/blog/2012/08/10/amlogic-aml8726-mx-linux-kernel-code-released |
| 13:29.41 | RaYmAn | Either way, it's cool :) |
| 13:30.42 | RaYmAn | It certainly does make amlogic more interesting |
| 13:32.32 | lkcl | Mazon: read the comments on that page. AMLogic are a major GPL violator, due to their NDA policy. |
| 13:32.45 | lkcl | RaYmAn: no, it isn't, and no, it doesn't. sadly. |
| 13:33.23 | lkcl | AMLogic's NDA policy is in direct violation of the GPL, and AMLogic have, as a result, *completely* lost all rights to use all linux and u-boot GPL source code. |
| 13:33.45 | lkcl | on that basis, if you use their SoCs, you are absolutely asking for trouble. |
| 13:34.00 | Mazon | well, which other SoCs are posting their code ? |
| 13:34.02 | lkcl | as they are actually a USA-based company now, they have left themselves open to lawsuits |
| 13:34.27 | Mazon | are allwinner posting all their required code ? |
| 13:34.33 | Mazon | is |
| 13:35.06 | lkcl | Mazon: freescale, samsung, TI, allwinner, ingenic to name just a few |
| 13:36.41 | RaYmAn | from what I heard allwinner has just as bad NDA's though |
| 13:36.42 | lkcl | samsung are a bit odd, though: they force NDAs to be signed in order to gain access to the hardware documentation of their latest SoCs, but at least they have respected and honoured the GPL by paying companies to develop (and release) GPL-compliant source code. |
| 13:37.50 | lkcl | RaYmAn: the NDA itself isn't important as long as it doesn't have clauses like "we own all source code, you ABSOLUTELY MUST not release source code without our permission" |
| 13:38.10 | lkcl | AMLogic's NDA has such clauses, and they refuse to remove them. |
| 13:38.36 | lkcl | i've been through this with them, after they cost us a hell of a lot of money (and a client) |
| 13:38.50 | Boulet | hno, use the cortex-a8 internal counter |
| 13:39.00 | lkcl | and they STILL refused to back down and modify their NDA to be GPL-compliant |
| 13:39.26 | Boulet | more importantly, the DRAM was still clocked at 24MHz i believe hahahah |
| 13:39.44 | Boulet | that would make a fairly slow uboot |
| 13:39.56 | RaYmAn | except it's not |
| 13:40.05 | RaYmAn | and linux boots just fine as well |
| 13:40.13 | Boulet | test1 was doing that, maybe you corrected it now |
| 13:40.15 | RaYmAn | (at least on my device :P) |
| 13:40.21 | Boulet | cool |
| 13:40.23 | hno | doesn't boot on mine.. |
| 13:40.32 | RaYmAn | I don't think there's been any changes to the actual dram code in the test1 source |
| 13:40.41 | RaYmAn | hno: gogo use jtag to figure out :d |
| 13:40.43 | Boulet | like hno said yesterday, it is broken |
| 13:41.03 | hno | MBUS part is clearly broken. But not sure what that is. Do not exists in A10. |
| 13:41.40 | RaYmAn | what is broken? |
| 13:42.00 | RaYmAn | JTAG or test1? (not really sure which part you talked about there) |
| 13:42.17 | Boulet | they use a variable that is not initialized and store it in some clocking config |
| 13:42.34 | hno | RaYmAn, the ddr setup code stolen from pm/standby/ has a fragment dealing with some MBUS clock. That fragment does not make any sense. |
| 13:42.34 | Boulet | <PROTECTED> |
| 13:42.42 | Boulet | that's probably what they meant ahah |
| 13:42.47 | RaYmAn | hno: ah |
| 13:45.13 | orly_owl | Marex: KW? |
| 13:46.05 | RaYmAn | hno: do you think that is what prevents linux from booting on your device? |
| 13:46.14 | RaYmAn | (from fel) |
| 13:46.33 | hno | RaYmAn, no idea. |
| 13:46.47 | hno | haven't had time to play more with it yet. |
| 13:47.41 | rz2k | lkcl: ingenic are somewhat gpl-violators too, compare ftp://ftp.ingenic.cn/3sw/JZ4770/01LinuxBsp/20110729/source/ (official ingenic ftp) and http://git.varjanta.com/Ingenic-JZ4770-Android-Kernel/.git/tree |
| 13:47.45 | rz2k | different versions |
| 13:49.47 | lkcl | rz2k: it's not that clear-cut. you have to actually buy a device then request the source code from the person that you bought the device from. |
| 13:49.51 | *** join/#arm-netbook traeak (~bolsen@75-151-91-165-Colorado.hfc.comcastbusiness.net) |
| 13:50.17 | lkcl | rz2k: if they refuse to provide you with the source code within a reasonable period of time, *then* they are in default. |
| 13:50.22 | lkcl | you have to go through the process. |
| 13:50.39 | lkcl | once you have gone through the process, then and only then can you say that they are a GPL violator. |
| 13:50.59 | lkcl | merely comparing 2 git repositories does not allow you to conclude that a GPL violation has taken place. |
| 13:51.03 | Boulet | do you know the default voltages provided by AXP209 at power-up ? |
| 13:51.27 | CIA-124 | rhombus-tech: Christian master * r51b4e1a2618c /allwinner_a10/orders/Dalkon.mdwn: |
| 13:51.47 | lkcl | rz2k: ingenic release a BSP (a hardware device). they have released the GPL linux tarball associated with it. therefore, they are GPL compliant |
| 13:52.58 | lkcl | rz2k: but ingenic have *nothing to do with* whatever modifications varjanta (whoever they are) have made. varjanta may have obtained the original BSP, then gone and modified the source code *themselves*. |
| 13:53.19 | rz2k | that is ainol leaked package. |
| 13:53.39 | rz2k | ingenic gives minor customers old kernel on ftp, and newer kernel under NDA. |
| 13:53.48 | lkcl | rz2k: yep, that's fine. then you must buy an ainol device. |
| 13:54.28 | lkcl | rz2k: ok, then that's _not_ ok, but have you seen one of these NDAs? does it explicitly state "we own all source code, you CANNOT release any of it without our permission"? |
| 13:54.56 | RaYmAn | lkcl: that's arguable, I'd say. If e.g. ainol provides a binary download of a ROM, just obtaining that ROM should be sufficient to have the right for the sourcecode? |
| 13:55.13 | lkcl | or does it say "all source code is ours and you CANNOT release it without permission except of course where there is a free software license then you can comply with that software license" |
| 13:55.46 | lkcl | RaYmAn: it's complicated, but also very very simple. the short answer is: no it doesn't. |
| 13:56.14 | rz2k | cool header here http://git.varjanta.com/Ingenic-JZ4770-Android-Kernel/.git/blob/HEAD:/drivers/video/hdmi/it6610/chip_drv.c |
| 13:56.21 | rz2k | "Proprietary and Confidential" |
| 13:56.21 | lkcl | the *only* person that you have a right to request the source code from is from the person that you bought a device from |
| 13:56.27 | hno | RaYmAn, unlicensed redistribution do not entitle right to source access. But you certainly have the right to request sources. |
| 13:56.28 | lkcl | i.e. obtained the binaries from |
| 13:56.43 | WarheadsSE | scrolls up |
| 13:56.51 | lkcl | so if there ... ah, thanks hno :) |
| 13:58.06 | RaYmAn | lkcl: exactly. Obtained binaries from. So under the assumption that e.g. ainol provides binaries for free download, they by definition are also required to provide me with GPL source of said binaries |
| 13:58.10 | lkcl | rz2k: yes, indeed that is rather amusing. copyright date 2 years into the future :) |
| 13:58.35 | lkcl | RaYmAn: noOoo, listen to what hno said: you are entitled to *request* the source code. |
| 13:58.58 | RaYmAn | well, you also have the right to request the source code from microsoft. |
| 13:59.11 | lkcl | if you have not made a request (and also if you have not actually downloaded the binaries) then you are not entitled to the source code. |
| 13:59.25 | hno | and they are required to provide the source if they want to comply with the license |
| 13:59.31 | hno | ainol that is. |
| 13:59.33 | lkcl | only when the binaries are in your *actual* possession do you then have the right to make the request |
| 13:59.38 | lkcl | yes. |
| 13:59.57 | RaYmAn | okay, so you're essentially just nitpicking definitions (and essentially are saying that I'm right. Thanks :P) |
| 14:00.15 | lkcl | RaYmAn: it's a bit of a pain in the arse, to be honest :) |
| 14:00.21 | RaYmAn | yeah |
| 14:00.28 | rz2k | I dont believe that ainol will really read any emails and contact retail customers |
| 14:00.29 | hno | lkcl, not really, there is no connection between possesion of binaries and right to request sources in gplv2. |
| 14:01.02 | lkcl | hno: ah? ah - i knew i'd get some aspect of this slightly wrong :) |
| 14:01.24 | hno | it's tied to the act of distribution itself (distributed together with the binary) or to the possessio of a copy of the written offer |
| 14:02.47 | hno | GPLv2 is a bit messy in online redistribution situations. |
| 14:03.26 | RaYmAn | hno: ok, so if $company distributes binaries freely, you are entitled to request $sourcecode and they are required to provide sourcecode? |
| 14:03.57 | RaYmAn | Ignoring leaks and such for the moment, but assuming binaries are legally aquired with no loopholes used or anything. |
| 14:05.22 | Mazon | with all these blatant linux violations, why is it being ignored by the respective copyright holders? - is it just too hard to solve in china? |
| 14:05.45 | RaYmAn | Mazon: there is a long post about it on the mailling list |
| 14:05.55 | RaYmAn | but bascially, yeah, it's practically impossible to persue in china |
| 14:06.08 | hno | RaYmAn, in GPLv2 if read strictly then to distribute binaries you either have to accompany the binary with the sources (binary and source packaged together in the same package) or you include a piece of paper with instructions how to request sources per mail. |
| 14:06.34 | hno | neither method maps nicely to online redistribution. |
| 14:06.39 | Mazon | but if amlogic is now us based, why not go after them ?= |
| 14:06.46 | WarheadsSE | heh |
| 14:06.53 | WarheadsSE | this agin |
| 14:07.06 | WarheadsSE | psst.. via kernel. |
| 14:07.11 | WarheadsSE | runs away |
| 14:08.34 | RaYmAn | hno: so if they don't include a "written offer" (in a text file presumably), they are illegally distributing it? |
| 14:13.48 | rz2k | interesting, is there any lawsuit filled and won against gpl-violating company ever? |
| 14:14.10 | Mazon | no, only settle out of court afaik |
| 14:14.15 | Mazon | dropbear being one of those |
| 14:14.33 | xxiao | Mazon: AMlogic has always been usa-based |
| 14:14.54 | traeak | oh interesting amlogic is us based |

| 15:00.10 | thefrog | even if you have a policy in place on how to comply..there is always some doofus in the organization that doesn't know and says 'no' |
| 15:01.12 | thefrog | it is espcially annoying when it is your organization. |
| 15:02.22 | furan | in the case of these chinese companies it is because they see the code as "high priority" and something they cannot give out lest other companies copy it |

| 18:37.23 | traeak | oh i did connect up a2tb drive |
| 18:37.26 | traeak | i dont' recall having problems |
| 18:37.44 | Marex | traeak: of course ... there's nothing that'd limit a sata port to support only up to 1TB drive |
| 18:37.57 | The-Compiler | I agree to that, but still I wanted to be sure before buying |
| 18:38.05 | Marex | only reasonable limit is 2TB, but if you use some not-30-years-old disk format, you're fine too |
| 18:38.17 | traeak | i would need to tear it all apart again |
| 18:38.39 | The-Compiler | I'll probably disconnect the cradle anyways and add an eSATA-port instead |
| 18:38.54 | The-Compiler | so I need an external power supply anyways |
| 18:41.28 | Marex | The-Compiler: or fix the internal powersupply :) |
| 18:43.01 | traeak | just plug a different sata cable into the mobo |
| 18:43.11 | traeak | and run it out, hopefully with an esata bracket |
| 18:45.16 | Marex | traeak: aren't the voltage levels on the esata port different ? |
| 18:45.53 | The-Compiler | Marex: there are a bunch of SATA to eSATA cables, so I doubt that |
| 18:47.08 | Marex | The-Compiler: with a voltage shifter maybe ? |
| 18:48.37 | The-Compiler | Minimum transmit amplitude increased: Range is 500–600 mV instead of 400–600 mV. |
| 18:48.38 | The-Compiler | Minimum receive amplitude decreased: Range is 240–600 mV instead of 325–600 mV. |
| 18:49.15 | Marex | The-Compiler: so you might run into issues with unstable transmission |
| 18:49.18 | The-Compiler | probably to account for some voltage drop with a longer cable, but they are both in the range of normal SATA |
| 18:49.40 | The-Compiler | eh? Actually the opposite rather. |
| 18:50.14 | The-Compiler | at least if "transmit" and "recieve" are from the view of the harddrive |
| 18:50.48 | Marex | The-Compiler: it doesn't matter actually, it's a differential transmission, so your voltage drop might be somewhere around 200mV |
| 18:51.01 | Marex | I'd start being careful there |
| 18:51.21 | Marex | but, I didn't really read the spec about the encoding on the wire etc, so I'm really just guessing |
| 18:56.00 | The-Compiler | I'll just get something like http://www.dealextreme.com/p/esata-sata-data-cable-45cm-9282?item=10 and hope they know what they're doing. |
| 19:00.47 | The-Compiler | hm, I wonder how I will fit the eSATA-port into the casing |
| 19:04.13 | The-Compiler | or maybe someone has another recommendation... I just need something cheap running Linux with eSATA and ethernet and not using too much power |
| 19:05.13 | The-Compiler | or USB3 instead of eSATA |
| 19:06.09 | hno | The-Compiler, trimslice uses SATA over USB... |
| 19:06.46 | hno | they didn't get the Tegra2 pci-e controller to accept an SATA controller. |
| 19:09.12 | hno | The-Compiler, voltage levels are from the view of the endpoint you look at. There is one transmit and receive end of each channel. |

| 20:29.47 | The-Compiler | first I need to decide what device to buy after I fried my pandaboard... Ideally something with a decent CPU, 512MB+ RAM, eSATA and Gigabit Ethernet... Didn't find anything yet. |

| 20:33.07 | WarheadsSE | The-Compiler: hmm |
| 20:33.10 | traeak | what about one of hte newer pogos? |
| 20:33.18 | WarheadsSE | bad cpu? |

| 20:34.10 | Marex | <yay> |
| 20:34.13 | The-Compiler | I use SSH for file transfers so I need some CPU so this doesn't become the bottleneck in the LAN |
| 20:34.22 | WarheadsSE | The-Compiler: use cryptodev? |
| 20:34.35 | WarheadsSE | serious drop in cpu usave because of mv_cesa |
| 20:34.49 | WarheadsSE | The memory is the bottleneck on the devices |
| 20:35.16 | The-Compiler | shouldn't be so much relevant as there will only be ArchlinuxARM and rsync running |
| 20:35.27 | WarheadsSE | yup |

| 20:39.18 | Turl | The-Compiler: on my current setup I can do like 8.5MB/s to the mele |
| 20:39.27 | Turl | and it's a shitty-case scenario |
| 20:39.31 | Turl | me-router is wifi |
| 20:39.35 | Turl | router-mele is wired |

| 20:39.48 | Marex | WarheadsSE: ooooh, you got N6q ? :) |
| 20:39.54 | The-Compiler | that's exactly what I had with the Pandaboard |
| 20:39.59 | WarheadsSE | well 8.5M/s on a 100m line is pretty decent |
| 20:40.16 | Turl | I'm using NFS for sharing btw |
| 20:40.18 | The-Compiler | I just want some room because sometimes I'm at events where I want to use it as an FTP leechbox in the LAN |

| 20:41.11 | traeak | i was hoping to try using the mele as a thin client |
| 20:41.14 | Turl | mele has wifi n I believe |
| 20:41.24 | traeak | i guess flash may cause me grief though |
| 20:41.33 | WarheadsSE | Yeah, Turl but it caps at 72m |
| 20:41.54 | Turl | no 150mbit? |
| 20:42.21 | WarheadsSE | I beleive it is in the driver/chip spec |
| 20:42.44 | WarheadsSE | 8188cu i beleive |
| 20:43.52 | WarheadsSE | it's a 1x1 i think, if we're lucky |

| 20:44.22 | WarheadsSE | tahts the driver |
| 20:44.33 | WarheadsSE | the chip itself is an 8188CU on my board |
| 20:44.47 | Turl | the 8188cu drver is called 8188cu I believe |
| 20:44.54 | Turl | realtek has a driver download per board >.< |
| 20:45.01 | WarheadsSE | 8192 driver covers a lot |
| 20:45.15 | The-Compiler | hmmm, I think I'll still get the most value for the money with the Mele |
| 20:45.18 | Turl | yeah it's the same code with a couple of vars edited :P |
| 20:45.21 | WarheadsSE | depends if you are using their 2.6.38+ or the 3.x+ kernel drivers |
| 20:45.36 | Turl | The-Compiler: for reference, I also run transmission on my mele |
| 20:45.38 | Turl | and mpd |
| 20:45.46 | WarheadsSE | It would be good for mpd. |
| 20:45.57 | traeak | wonder if a15 stuff will have better IO connectivity options? |
| 20:45.59 | WarheadsSE | .. better when we get cedar... |
| 20:46.00 | Turl | I use a USB soundcard though |
| 20:46.11 | The-Compiler | and really my primary usecase is just in the LAN for some rsync and maybe an Ampache |
| 20:46.16 | traeak | weak link on all this arm soc stuff, high bandwidth IO |
| 20:46.16 | Turl | WarheadsSE: yeah not like you need cedar to decode audio though |
| 20:46.21 | The-Compiler | (Ampache != Apache) |
| 20:46.25 | WarheadsSE | nope |
| 20:46.41 | WarheadsSE | ampache uses apache though, i think |
| 20:47.17 | Turl | The-Compiler: rsync will prolly kill your IO though |
| 20:47.21 | Turl | because of the encryption |
| 20:47.37 | The-Compiler | it worked fine on the panda |
| 20:48.00 | Turl | I got ~4.xMB/s last I tried over sftp |
| 20:48.04 | The-Compiler | and I'd need SATA only when doing some big file operation |
| 20:48.47 | WarheadsSE | i dont have a model with sata to bench for you The-Compiler |
| 20:48.53 | The-Compiler | gah, 4MB/s isn't really much |
| 20:49.36 | The-Compiler | then again I probably won't need more in 90% of my usage |
| 20:50.46 | WarheadsSE | and Marex yes, I have that coming to me. It's in transit |
| 20:51.16 | WarheadsSE | finish the arch bringup, and then fire it up |
| 20:51.19 | The-Compiler | WarheadsSE: how many ARM boards do you own? :D |
| 20:51.24 | WarheadsSE | hmm |
| 20:51.31 | WarheadsSE | including multipes of the same? |
| 20:51.35 | traeak | you can tune sftp to transmit with no/low encryption |
| 20:51.47 | traeak | and just encrypt the authenticaion |
| 20:52.06 | The-Compiler | that'd be worth a shot |
| 20:52.28 | WarheadsSE | The-Compiler: not including duplicates: 8 with 2 more coming |
