03:37.06cubiefanhello
03:37.45cubiefanIs there anyone who knows a way to buy cubieboard right now?
03:43.37Skaagwhat do you like about it?
03:43.57Skaag(I don't know how or where to bus a cubieboard)

03:53.17nulluserhttp://www.hardkernel.com/renewal_2011/products/prdt_info.php
03:53.28nulluserI was getting excited, until I saw that heat sink!
03:56.26nulluserWhich arm SoC has the best manufacture support?
03:59.21rz2kthere is zero manufacturer support for exynos4412
03:59.32rz2ku-boot for odroid-x2/u2 is in blob
03:59.52rz2kit doesnt run the 3.0.51 kernel from android if it is compiled with gcc 4.7.x
03:59.55nulluseryeah, I'm looking for something with good support, and good built quality
04:00.11nulluserEven at a premium in cost
04:00.25rz2kthere is also two proprietary bootloaders
04:01.10nulluserWhat about the Cotton Candy?
04:02.31rz2knulluser: take the freescale
04:02.39rz2kthey have paid and free support
04:03.09nulluserBy support I mean more like releasing the current kernel code and drivers for the devices as shipped
04:05.25nulluserThe GK802 uses one
04:09.09nulluserI'm curious to see how far these devices go in 5 years.   We might end up with something the size of a single stick of gum that is inductively powered, communicates to the display using near field rf, and is completely sealed. who knows.
04:10.54rz2kI would not appreciate completely sealed devices :p
04:11.01nulluserheh
04:11.45nulluserok, clamshell with a really small o-ring ;)
04:11.45ManoftheSeaI'd like to report success on getting 3.0.52+ working on mk802ii.
04:12.10ManoftheSeaI do not yet have access to full 1 GB memory, and I haven't been able to test hdmi yet.
04:12.18ManoftheSeaBut I have a wifi ssh connection to the device.
04:12.29nulluserMy config was console only
04:12.56ManoftheSeaDoes anyone know how usb-gadget networking works?
04:13.13ManoftheSeaDoes the device have to advertise to the host, to get it to hotplug usbnet?
04:14.03ManoftheSealike, I have a usb0 on the device, using cdc-ether.  But the host, modprobe usbnet, doesn't provide a matching interface.
04:14.46ManoftheSeaMy success comes from taking the mele 4GB image and swapping the uImage and root-fs.
04:14.53nulluserNo idea.  You have any heat problems with your kernel?
04:15.11ManoftheSeaSo, it seems my failure before was in compilation of u-boot.  GCC 4.7 failure?  armhf failure?
04:15.29ManoftheSeanulluser: haven't noticed, but I just got it working a few hours ago.
04:15.54nulluserI had problems long before that when it was in the case
04:16.15nulluserI might have had an unknown evb.bin file with bad settings, not sure
04:16.16ManoftheSeaAlso, pi vs. mk802ii on /.  Lol.  What is the fascination with the Pi?
04:16.49ManoftheSeaevb.bin comes from fex2bin on evb.script, right?
04:16.56nulluserCheap, and easy to access IO. Lots of support
04:17.12nulluserI tired one, and had to move on to the A10 for my application
04:17.13ManoftheSeabut if you're gonna IO, get an arduino.
04:17.20ManoftheSeaIf you're going to computer, get a real computer.
04:17.27ManoftheSeaRPi is old crap.
04:18.03nulluserI pulled the evb.bin off some image, and ran bin2fex
04:18.16nulluserbut I'm not an expert on configuring it, so I would not really notice is something is off
04:18.23ManoftheSeawell, I have the file from the mk802ii internal.
04:18.32nulluserI do know that cpufreq tells me I'm running at 600 mhz, which is fine
04:18.33ManoftheSeaI'm just going to replace, and try
04:18.41nulluserI clocked it down to 400 to keep it cooler
04:23.47nulluserDO you have a serial port? can you post your boot output if possible?
04:25.18ManoftheSeaI don't.
04:25.30ManoftheSeaI won't have the usb-ttl until January, probably mid.
04:25.38ManoftheSeaAnd I don't know where the port is on the mk802ii.
04:25.53nulluserIt has one, kind of pain to solder
04:26.02ManoftheSeawhere?
04:26.37nulluserI'll see if I can find a picture
04:26.57ManoftheSeai've seen the 802 and 802+
04:27.15ManoftheSeathis isn't them.
04:27.38nulluseryeah, it's the two small pads to the side of one of the chips.
04:27.56nulluserI don't have the board any more, but I will take a quick look for a picture
04:28.05ManoftheSeaover in the weirdly labeled area?
04:28.37ManoftheSeaor is it two random pads strewn about the board?
04:30.14nulluserhttp://www.xdot.ro/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/Mk802_uart-413x310.jpg
04:30.26nulluserIs that your board?
04:30.43ManoftheSeano.
04:31.01ManoftheSeaThat's the mk802.  I have an mk802ii
04:31.09nulluseryeah, I had the same board
04:31.16nulluseryour's not the one in the image.
04:31.31L84Supperwhat's the actual speed the memory is clocked at on either of those?
04:31.52nulluserhttp://www.rikomagic.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=2488
04:32.00nulluserI remember now, sorry, I mixed boards up
04:32.56ManoftheSeathat looks close...  Maybe yes.
04:33.06ManoftheSeaI'll take a look tomorrow.  You said you wanted boot info?
04:33.35nulluserI just wanted to compare the output.  I'm going to post mine in a few, cleaning up the file
04:34.23ManoftheSeaI'm headed to bed.  Midnight here.
04:34.38ManoftheSeaBut if you wanted a printout or something, I could email in the future.
04:34.42nulluserhttp://pastebin.com/59NVTmeQ
04:35.09nulluserIgnore that one, it's the wrong board
04:35.19nulluserI keep forgetting I'm working on a mini xplus
04:35.31ManoftheSeaI have a dmesg output, if you like that.
04:35.40nulluserI have one for your board
04:35.42nulluseryeah, sure
04:36.05ManoftheSeaI don't know how it'd be useful to me, yet.
04:37.06nulluserI tried 3.4 yesterday, but had a lot of problems
04:37.25ManoftheSea3.4?  Is that with the sunxi platform stuff?
04:37.35ManoftheSeaI thought it was still WIP
04:37.39ManoftheSea(work in progress)
04:37.41nulluserit was in linux-sunxi
04:37.47nulluseryeah, that might explain some problems ;)
04:38.16nulluserI don't really have any complaints with 3.0.52, supports everything that I need
04:38.18ganbolddo I need pin pull before setting pin for output?
04:39.35ManoftheSeanulluser: you want me to pastebin, or just email a file to you?
04:40.04nulluserWhatever works for you, my email is nulluser@gmail.com
04:41.03nulluserI had a hell of time getting the kernel to compile with too many changes from the default config.  I would disable something, and something else seemingly unrelated would break.
04:41.46nulluserThere has to be some dependencies that are not setup right in there
04:42.25ManoftheSeathe sunxi code is difficult, says some of the list developers.
04:42.38ManoftheSeaIt's definitely not up to "snuff", whatever snuff means.
04:42.46nulluseryeah, I feel that
04:42.55nulluserLinus would not be proud
04:43.33nulluserI hear that 3.7 is supposed to unify a lot of stuff
04:43.43ManoftheSeanulluser: thank you for the forum link.  I'm headed to sleep.  You should have an email.
04:44.49nulluserThanks
04:48.09nulluserI'm also running debian on mine with the same kernel.

11:29.17buZzha, Hans de Goede posted kernelmods for weird resolutions \o/
11:29.49mnemocnot weird, just not tv-ish
11:29.53buZzweird Floris Bos posted 'it exists´ and 'try my berryboot'
11:30.06buZzbut didnt include a link to the actual patch ;)
11:30.25mnemocno need for patches if you use the git repos
11:30.32buZzah :D great
11:30.48buZzi just learned that the resolution i want is most popular in the world
11:30.55buZzhttp://www.neowin.net/news/study-1366x768-now-the-most-popular-screen-resolution
11:30.57mnemocfor the hdmi changes use the stage branches. but hold it 2 minutes
11:31.12buZzhey i am naked in bed, i can hold it for 2 hours ;)
11:31.19mnemoc:)
11:32.21buZzmnemoc: did you say you could help to with getting a dxf?
11:32.43mnemoceh? what?
11:32.46buZzcause i realized my drawing lacked the sata power and serial connector
11:32.57buZzah hmm context
11:33.22buZz22:44:27 < mnemoc> btw, if you want I can give you a http://dl.linux-sunxi.org/buzz/ to share your files
11:33.25buZz22:44:50 < mnemoc> and these .dxf :p
11:33.29mnemoci told you the 1.1 dwg file had all pads and that you could merge them to get a more complete drawing
11:33.41buZzhehe yes
11:33.51buZznobody needs the pads to do case design :P
11:33.52mnemocand that you can share your files from dl.linux-sunxi.org
11:34.11mnemocbuZz: right, but you need to make the hole for the uart
11:34.16buZzyeah ..
11:34.25mnemocand those come from the second dwg
11:34.26buZzif that only is featured in the pads, so be it
11:34.27buZz:P
11:34.44buZzmaybe i should continue trying to warez autodesk
11:34.52buZzits such a mess dealing with these tools :(
11:34.57mnemocautocadws.com ?
11:35.18mnemocflash but better than "warez"
11:35.25buZzyeah, almost made my computer crash on that dwg
11:35.25buZz:P
11:35.31mnemocdoh
11:35.40buZzjust 2gb ram ;)
11:35.58mnemochttps://www.google.com/search?q=convert+dwg+to+dxf+online
11:35.59buZzguess 2d drawing needs 4gb or more nowadays
11:36.12buZzi tried these online tools, but they destroy the layer data

11:47.05torpora friend of yours was telling me about you yesterday ..
11:47.11buZzlol
11:47.12mnemoctorpor: please make it generic, not mk802 specific

11:47.32mnemocbuZz: amd e350/2GB :<
11:47.41torpormnemoc, i'm going to make two things: a modified mk803 that will just slot right into the lapdock as it exists, and an adapter that makes the lapdock connectors something more 'normal'.
11:47.48buZzmnemoc: sadly, not good enough for 2D drawing nowadays ;)
11:47.55torporbuZz, overflo, and yeah lydia .. two of my favourites.

13:39.14rz2kodroid released their ubuntu image for odroid-x2, 3.0.51 kernel, compiles only with 4.4 gcc (remember I was talking about u-boot/kernel for Renesas SoC that was dying on anything above 4.3-4.4? they have the same issue), Mali is not enabled, they claim to get DDK in 1-2 month..
13:39.25rz2kI was expecting better from $150 board.
13:41.27rz2kah, and yes, they didnt release the kernel source with fixes for linux used in this image, they have some weird problem with SMP with default android kernel that is available in android odroid-x2 bsp, they fixed this, but still no source for it.
13:41.49mnemocdoh
13:42.50rz2k'will be available in 5 days' - I dont trust in this after ubuntu image deadline moved in two weeks after people have got the boards from FedEx hands.
13:43.36torpori'm wondering what the fastest/lightest/neatest ARM-based PC-on-a-stick out there currently is .. i want to plug more things into my lapdock.
13:45.51mnemocmk802ii probably
13:50.17HSt_What about sth like mk808 http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Android-4-1-1-Cortex-A9-Smart-Google-TV-Dongle-1G-DDR3-8G-ROM-WIFI-Set/651254746.html
13:51.02HSt_is rk3066 ok for running linux?
13:51.47mnemocdon't know about the state of the public kernel and u-boot sources for the rk3066

14:08.21penguin42HSt_: I'm hoping so I ordered an 809 last night :-)
14:08.46penguin42HSt_: So yeh I found that, so I'm hoping it looks kind of promising
14:11.33HSt_penguin42:how is spec on 809?
14:11.57penguin42HSt_: It says 4GB flash, and an rk3066
14:13.49HSt_penguin42: so 809 and 808 is same but with diff flash it seems
14:14.10penguin42HSt_: Looks that way, but I guess I find out when it turns up
14:16.15penguin42Amazon says sometimes between Jan 2-15th - so heck I dunno

15:14.25torporheh
15:14.30mnemocsteev: can imx6 boot from uSD?
15:14.31torporof course i'd be getty'ing on some other port.
15:14.58steevmnemoc: uh... there isn't a uSD port on mine, but i'd assume so if one put one on there
15:15.20steevif you mean the sabrelite, then yes, as long as you don't go full on retard and use the linaro stuff

15:16.41mnemocsteev: pictures include pcb and pcb layout
15:17.00steevmnemoc: they replace boundarydevices working uSD->SD->sata uboot with one that forces you to use either uSD, or SD, but not both
15:17.12mnemocsteev: doh
15:17.38steevall in the name of... well, i dunno why, it never made any sense at all to me
15:19.15steevmnemoc: i'm curious how hot that thing gets, the mx6 isn't exactly a cool chip.  hell the a10 i have get's friggin hot (that weird miniland android/google tv box whatever it is)
15:20.29steevmnemoc: if you get one, https://github.com/boundarydevices/imx_usb_loader is quite handy
15:20.58mnemocthe "classic" mk802 doesn't have a PMU and the A10 relies on it to control power/heat. mk802+ and mk802ii and all other A10-based dongles have the PMU and they don't get hot
15:21.03mnemocsteev: awesome
15:22.29steevinteresting
15:22.32steevand good to know
15:23.00steevuse of that is something like, plug mx6-ishboard in set to boot via usb... and run ./imx_usb /path/to/u-boot-to-use
15:23.29mnemocHi802/16 ordered :p
15:24.05mnemoc"set to boot via usb" ?
15:24.48torpormnemoc, i have a mk802ii (not the iii/iiis) and i was wondering if you know if its dual-core or not?  i forgot .. ;)
15:25.10steevmnemoc: usually there's some dips on fsl-ish boards
15:25.19mnemoctorpor: if A10, it's cortex-a8 and so single-core

16:46.09ManoftheSeaHey guys.
16:47.02*** join/#arm-netbook ZaEarl (~malmrose@c-67-172-235-190.hsd1.ut.comcast.net)
16:47.06ManoftheSeaI'm having difficulty understanding a bit about this mk802ii.  I have it booting from the mele image, and the u-boot included there.  I believe that means it's using evb.bin.
16:47.30ManoftheSeaHowever, this limits me to the .5 GB memory of the mele, while the mk802ii is suppsoed to have a full gig.
16:48.05ManoftheSeaThe script.bin on nanda for the device doesn't specify a memory size.  Also, putting script.bin in place of evb.bin (copying it over) makes the device not boot.
16:48.23ManoftheSeaThoughts?
16:48.29mnemocmemory size is hardcoded in the bootloader
16:49.12mnemocall dram_para values actually
16:49.25ManoftheSeaSo, I'm stuck until I figure out how to compile a working u-boot?
16:49.45ManoftheSeaAny thought on why the "correct" script.bin from the device breaks it?
16:50.17mnemocyou can kidnap it from http://dl.linux-sunxi.org/amery/sunxi-3.0/latest/mk802ii_hwpack.tar.xz
16:50.54ManoftheSeaIs this a recent post?  I don't recall seeing it last I was looking
16:51.13ManoftheSeathanks mnemoc
16:51.44mnemocit's not "official"... I push prebuilt hwpacks made with the sunxi-bsp for fun
16:52.07mnemocthat's why the /amery prefix
16:53.31mnemocand helps me get stuff tested by others :p
16:54.01ManoftheSeaLooks like you filled out the values for dram, emac, rtp, and gl?
16:54.15mnemochttp://dl.linux-sunxi.org/amery/testing-3.0/latest/mk802ii_hwpack.tar.xz for example has the hdmi changed to support EDID which aren't official yet
16:54.48mnemocthat script.bin is taken from the sunxi-boards repo
16:54.59mnemocsome boards are more maintained than others
16:55.23ManoftheSeaok.  I'm comparing to the script.bin taken directly from my mk802ii.
16:56.15mnemocsunxi-boards has a version "polished" by Erik Servili
16:56.22ManoftheSeaok.
16:56.24ManoftheSeaI'll try it
16:56.53ManoftheSeait should be okay to drop over evb.bin, right?

16:57.08ManoftheSeaor do I need to use the u-boot pieces in that hwpack?
16:57.18mnemocyes... but it's better if you replace your u-boot and your current u-boot env

17:11.14torporhey speaking of EDID, is there some way to tell the MK802 to use 1366x768 instead of 1280?  On my lapdock its scaling, and thats .. annoying ..

17:12.13ManoftheSeaI think the resolution is an option in the script.bin.
17:12.25torporthats supposed to be in /boot, right?
17:12.28mnemoctorpor: try the stage branch, or the "testing" hwpacks
17:12.39ManoftheSeaat least, I remember seeing 800 x 480, and 1280 x 768
17:12.56torpori guess i need to work out what to use as far as GLES acceleration is concerned .. still the allwinner distro, or something?

17:13.16ManoftheSeaoh hey cool... "MemTotal:         833240 kB"
17:16.08ManoftheSeamnemoc: any consideration of packaging the proprietary libraries into a .deb?
17:18.58mnemocwe do have repos for the proprietary libraries. feel free to add `make deb` there
17:19.13ManoftheSeaI'll look for and attempt to do so.
17:20.13ManoftheSeayou don't include the rtl8192 firmware?

17:21.33ManoftheSeaWell, the firmware is available from debian's "non-free" repo already.  I assume Ubuntu has something similar.
17:21.38mnemocnot for an specific kernel, but for an specific mali/ump kernel version driver

20:12.31hansgtechn_, no I did not look at your repo yet. TBH I'm not really interested in dynamic mode changing, as this will require stopping and re-starting the X-server which is not really user-friendly.
20:12.48hansgtechn_, IMHO for proper dynamic mode support a kms driver is what we need.
20:15.30techn_hansg: check that.. that isnt so many lines of code after your changes
20:16.09techn_I'll submit first feature that allows user to list edid modes via sysfs
20:16.50hansgok
20:16.56techn_but sure.. some parts are much easier to rewrite than modify
20:17.20hansgI'm not saying a rewrite is easier, but it is necessary :)
20:17.38techn_but some could be nice just to move to kms driver..
20:17.55hansgYes.
20:18.08mnemociirc libv's idea was to refactor toward kms
20:18.08hansgAnyways I've got to go. I'm looking forward to your patches, I'll try to make some time to review them once you've posted them
20:20.06hansgmnemoc, interesting. TBH I plan to sort of wrap my EDID work up, then I've some other small itches to scratch...
20:20.56hansgMainly making the memory reservation code more dynamic, so that one kernel can be used by users who don't care about the VE and by users who do care, with-out the users who do't care loosing 80MB (which is esp. important on 512MB machines)
20:21.08hansgAfter that I plan to focus on getting the USB code in better shape, since that is more my area of expertise. Once the USB code is in shape, who knows what I'll tackle next...

23:30.13ManoftheSeanulluser: on the mk802?  I have 2 wifi cards in my laptop.
23:30.22nulluserreal products are too, it's just behind a layer of polish ;)
23:30.28ManoftheSeaSPECIFICALLY so I can do a wifi bridge.  This is the first it's ever been useful, though.
23:31.08nulluserI'm running a different wifi module than the 8192 now, it's an ralink 2800, ap should be ok
23:31.20nulluserI got my project running today:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RSuY33Z1bBQ
23:31.27ManoftheSeaoh.  Well, cool.  But you want your armstick to be the AP?
23:31.30nulluserNeed to polish up some loose ense and it's a done deal
23:31.34nulluseryeah
23:31.41nulluserI want to connect to that with the android phone
23:32.13nulluserbe a lot easier if it was just an AP, you connect it gives you an IP, then you start the client
23:33.27nulluserI really like these arm boards, a hell of a lot of power in a small space. An absurd amount of power really, it's crazy
23:33.49nulluserWhen I first started making this stuff I had to use a complete PC or laptop to have a chance of getting enough power
23:36.36nulluserbbl
23:52.17ManoftheSeaSorry for delay.  I agree.  I see the ODroid, and I'm blown away.
23:52.30ManoftheSeaYes, the price is creeping up, but it's still a lot of power in a very small space.
23:53.00ManoftheSeaIt's really cool that Luke's been trying to get better support for this space and Linux.
23:53.12ManoftheSeaReal linux.  I don't know Android that well.

23:58.04penguin42ManoftheSea: Hey, have a kernel and a graphics driver and the userspace will be happy
23:59.26ManoftheSeapenguin42: what?
23:59.37penguin42ManoftheSea: Well the 'real linux' vs Android
23:59.58ManoftheSeaDebian GNU/Linux is the one true way, the light and the path, yadda yadda have a beer.
