AstralixNB: If you need some powerful platform to made build something fast, I'll suggest that you can build as desktop, and bring an ultrabook, connect your desktop with SSH
<naobsd>
please see /init in my ramdisk. it's very simple shell script
<AstralixNB>
hehe, I have a corei7 Notebook, so I was more or less kidding.
<mosquito520>
thanks, I'll check it:)
<mosquito520>
AstralixNB: cuz NB Vendor will limit the cpu performance by EC due to thermal and power issue
<AstralixNB>
kernel in less then a minute and a complete build of a phone Android including bootloaders, kernel and such in just e view minutes over an hour is pretty fine
<AstralixNB>
What I did yesterday was quite exceptionell as I ran a phone build in the background, a kernel for a different architecture in the background and a small AVR project in the foreground
<mosquito520>
OK:D
<AstralixNB>
but you're right, I should have ran the build of the kernel on my machine at home, I have ssh tunnel to it
<AstralixNB>
someone in here with good git skills?
<mosquito520>
wow~ I'll keep system build on Desktop, but pull down the image will be a problem...
<mosquito520>
(ziped my mouth)
<AstralixNB>
pulling the image isn't a problem via sftp
<AstralixNB>
you can connect via konqueror like any other drive you have locally
<hipboi>
AstralixNB, what git problem you have?
<AstralixNB>
But again, I need some help with git and syncing two repos
<AstralixNB>
Hi!
<AstralixNB>
I have forked a repo on github
<mosquito520>
the problem is bandwidth, cuz Android image about 300~400MB, If I need pull entire image, it's need some time...
<AstralixNB>
now I fteched the latest work from the original
<AstralixNB>
and have it locally on my drive
<AstralixNB>
but whatever I do, github rejects or ignores this if I try to push it to my fork
<AstralixNB>
so the things are easy (I thought)
<naobsd>
command line and error message?
<mosquito520>
so you re trying to push another repo?
<AstralixNB>
Just to put some names:
<AstralixNB>
I have forked mmind/linux-rockchip
<AstralixNB>
to Astralix / linux-rockchip
<AstralixNB>
I cloned origin (Astralix) topgit/devel
<AstralixNB>
I merged -X theirs mmind00/topgit/devel
<AstralixNB>
I compiled successfull showing that all changes have been in
<AstralixNB>
I pushed :
<AstralixNB>
git push origin origin/topgit/devel
<AstralixNB>
what should have put it back to my Astralix repo
<AstralixNB>
To git@github.com:Astralix/linux-rockchip.git
<AstralixNB>
error: failed to push some refs to 'git@github.com:Astralix/linux-rockchip.git'
<AstralixNB>
hint: counterpart. Check out this branch and merge the remote changes
<AstralixNB>
hint: Updates were rejected because a pushed branch tip is behind its remote
<mosquito520>
I m wondering that Radxa Rock provide what kind SDK?? Linux? Android??
<arokux1>
what is the state of the bootloader for RK?
<mosquito520>
State? you mean???
<mosquito520>
Rockchip Bootloader is close source that made by rockchip
<arokux1>
is someone working on it to create an open sauce replacement...?
<mosquito520>
but some product will be shipping with uboot bootloader recently:)
<arokux1>
which?
<mosquito520>
Sorry I can't figure out which does, cuz I don't know does RK will release uboot source as public or not
<mosquito520>
but the uboot source is open to some customer that I can confirm that:)
<arokux1>
hm.. and Rockchip Bootloader -- is that U-Boot based?
<mosquito520>
I don't know, but as I know, it's should be not, cuz they told me that u-boot has poor performance or poor compatability with RK NAND flash controller for Nand Boot
<mosquito520>
so they're create RK bootloader for China customer, mostly, their customer choose NAND as storage cuz NAND is cheap than eMMC
<mosquito520>
Does any one know what kind OS of Radxa Rock SDK???
<arokux1>
what are you expecting to find in an SDK?
<mosquito520>
I just wanna know do they provide Linux SDK??

arokux1: hmmmm...? did you know that??
<arokux1>
did I know what?
<mosquito520>
does Radxa Rock provide Linux SDK or Android SDK??
Galland has joined #linux-rockchip
<arokux1>
how can somebody answer you if you cannot even define what such an SDK should include?
<dsd>
hi all, does anyone have experience working with rockchips RK3188 reference board?
<Galland>
dsd: I believe the Radxa Rock is similar to the RK3188 Reference Design, though I could be wrong
<mosquito520>
ops, Sorry, I m misunderstand what you mean... I mean...does that Radxa Rock provide BSP for Radxa Rock Dev. Kits?
deviker has quit [Ping timeout: 272 seconds]
<mosquito520>
dsd: Do you mean RK3188 reference board release by RK?
<Galland>
mosquito520 the Radxa rock comes with Android preloaded, but no other things (at least my early case)
<mosquito520>
Galland: I see, thanks:D
<Galland>
however you can use almost any of the publicly available RK3188 repos on github to build your own Android/Linux kernels for it
<Galland>
arokux1 I'm not really interested on that part :) why?
<arokux1>
Galland: it is an important part that isn't yet open sauced...
<Galland>
that's true
<mosquito520>
arokux1: I believe that should be soon...:)
<arokux1>
mosquito520: RK is going to make it available?
<mosquito520>
cuz some product has already shipping with u-boot, and I believe those brand should be follow GPL to release source
<Galland>
since it has already shipped, there should be no problem knowing which product is that? we may want to buy it :)
<arokux1>
yeah, so mosquito520 what should we buy? ;)
<mosquito520>
well, I can told you which product has RK SOC builtin, if some product has been anonuced , but I can't told you which product shipped with u-boot,cuz I don't know RK policy for that.
<mosquito520>
also, I just know few product only:p
<Galland>
hehe which products do u know then?
<mosquito520>
Well, I'm not sure, one project that I can sure, It's still on development, should be shipped at Dec, so I can't told you that
deviker has joined #linux-rockchip
<mosquito520>
but... One product has been anonunce recently, Maybe you may survy it
<mosquito520>
lenovo Ideapad A10(?), I've found some article say that will use RK3188 as an android Netbook
<mosquito520>
maybe... if you can porting linux onto it. I believe that should be amazing netbook:D
<mosquito520>
But I don't know what time it will shipped
<arokux1>
hm.. lenovo is using RK chips...
<arokux1>
I hope such company like lenovo will publish their kernel etc.
<mosquito520>
I dont know does lenovo will publish their source or not...
<dsd>
mosquito520: yeah i mean the RK3188 ref board from RK
<mosquito520>
RK does not upgrade kernel:)
<arokux1>
mosquito520: so A10 doesn't come with U-Boot, it seems...
<dsd>
just starting to work with this
<mosquito520>
dsd: starting to work with this!? may I ask what company that you're working for:p
<dsd>
mosquito520: not sure if i can say, i will find out. it is a niche thing though
<dsd>
either way, i hope to be able to contribute to the efforts you guys are making - we naturally have an interest in having this stable, with mali working, uboot, etc...
<dsd>
its just an evaluation at this time
<arokux1>
dsd: cool, your help will be very much appreciated.
<dsd>
just received the reference board, was curious if anyone has already played with this, its not clear what power input it takes, also need to hunt for a serial port
<arokux1>
mosquito520: you thought A10 comes with U-Boot?
<mosquito520>
dsd: cuz I have a customer bought Radxa Rock Devs. kits, that why I'm looking it, and found this channel:)
<arokux1>
dsd: have you got u-boot with it?
<mosquito520>
dsd: 12v DC
<dsd>
just have the board at this time, still waiting for the SDK
<__trine>
thanks mosquito520 I have just got back to the KB
<mosquito520>
dsd: and serial port...it's should be PL2303 USB to uart transmitter on board, there has 2 mini USB connector on board, one is usb_otg port, and the other is connect with PL2303
<__trine>
I have been fixing the new broken power supply which came with my Mk908
<dsd>
found the PL2303, thanks!!
<mosquito520>
arokux1: I don't know...cuz RK u-boot just ready recently, and they told me they will shipped with those branding project
<mosquito520>
arokux1: so I don't know does that A10 shipped with u-boot, but it's one of recently project:)
<mosquito520>
dsd: you're welcome;)
<mosquito520>
arokux1: BTW, that A10 source I've checked, It's only kernel source, and bootloader is located at A10_Open_Source_20130827\kernel\rktools\RK3188DevelopTool\rockdev\
<mosquito520>
RK3188Loader(L)_V1.14.bin and RK3188Loader(L)_V1.20.bin
<mosquito520>
that is RK private bootloader
<arokux1>
anyway, I like lenovo now!
<mosquito520>
at least it publish the source:)

mosquito520: yes, that is why I like them.

arokux1: well, actually I can't image they will release it, cuz as my experinence, I can't believe it...:D
<arokux1>
mosquito520: u-boot you mean?
<naobsd>
oh, mach-rk2928/* is available
<arokux1>
naobsd: it wasn't available previously?
<mosquito520>
arokux1: I mean kernel source, cuz Lenovo company style... I can't imagine they will release it:)
<arokux1>
mosquito520: but they did. I think every big international company would do...
<arokux1>
mosquito520: any other released products you know?
<mosquito520>
arokux1: as my experinence...They don't act like big Int. company...(laugh)
<mosquito520>

<arokux1>
another funny thing: Rockchip isn't mentioned anywhere, just "Quad Core"
<arokux1>
all the other names like Tegra, Snapdragon, Atom are there.
<dsd>
ok thanks, and just curious, where did you get this info from?
<mosquito520>
dsd: Don't you get board file and schematic for reference board?
<dsd>
mosquito520: i thought so too, but nothing has been provided, and RK is not very good at responding to emails :/
<mosquito520>
dsd: I m distri. FAE for rockchip:)
<dsd>
you work for RK?
<mosquito520>
No, distributor:)
<dsd>
i see
<arokux1>
dsd: you've paid them! why they are not answering?!
<mosquito520>
So I've ask the company info cuz I'm afraid you're work for our customer...(laugh)
<mosquito520>
:D
<arokux1>
is there somebody with ASUS MeMO Pad 8 or ASUS MeMO Pad 10? If so, please ask ASUS to provide kernel source. You'd need to input serial number in your inquiry.
<mosquito520>
arokux1: I didn't...
<dsd>
arokux1: yes, my question exactly
<mosquito520>
I got take a shower and get to bed...It's 1AM in my timezone...:)

ok! thanks for your help
