Unbelievable. 2010-05-10 03:19 unfortunately many people are missing the real revolution that is going on 2010-05-10 03:19 everybody sees the iphone and so, and I agree that is amazing. but they don't see the other revolution going on :-) 2010-05-10 03:19 oh well... 2010-05-10 03:20 hey David, this is for you (just kidding) 2010-05-10 03:20 guess what the retail margin of this phone is? 2010-05-10 03:20 :-) 2010-05-10 03:20 yeah i we achevive to comercialize such stuff cheap enough with hackable free soft inside I thing we have winner here 2010-05-10 03:21 the retail margin per phone is a whopping 5 RMB = 56 EUR cents!!! 2010-05-10 03:21 and bloodsuckers as we are, when we bought 15 of them we bargained it down to 34 cents! 2010-05-10 03:22 hahaaha wow, seem like tuxbrain margins hahaah 2010-05-10 03:22 yeah, I thought this might make you feel better... 2010-05-10 03:22 common you have the guts to bargain with this prices????

2010-05-10 03:25 steve|m points to guys trying to do so in similar device mkt arm7 http://peeklinux.com 2010-05-10 03:25 not, but soon if not today tomorrow 2010-05-10 03:26 now I have another unit to use as openwrt testing I will use the mutant one to play with debian, and try to port avr toolchain there 2010-05-10 03:26 interesting don't know this peek device 2010-05-10 03:26 if this is an anti-vendor effort it's not for me, I don't believe in that 2010-05-10 03:26 obviously since I try to become a copyleft vendor myself, then there is no more need for anti-vendor ports 2010-05-10 03:27 yep it seems like a rigid nn with sim card :P 2010-05-10 03:27 so hope they talk to the peek manufacturers etc. 2010-05-10 03:27 I hear there are some interesting things coming on sim cards. 2010-05-10 03:27 no seems it pure reverse ingeniering from the beggining to end 2010-05-10 03:27 'interesting' unfortunately from the wrong perspective, from the perspective of the operators who want to stay in control 2010-05-10 03:28 yeah the reverse stuff cannot work, you will always be chasing 2010-05-10 03:28 yep, but here we are to propose an alternative, 2010-05-10 03:28 reverse to gain knowledge is OK, that's what we do. but then need to produce yourself, or at least instruct the manufacturers yourself. 2010-05-10 03:28 you have no idea how fast Chinese can change, and they will change over and over and over, for .01 cents savings they will take down compatibility with all the software you have been working on for years. 2010-05-10 03:28 without hesitation 2010-05-10 03:28 sure peeklinux guys will be pleased to work in a openhardware if we provide one :) 2010-05-10 03:29 I'll add the peeklinux channel, good link thanks! 2010-05-10 03:29 sorry copyleft hardware 2010-05-10 03:30 did you hear some good (sales) news because of the Linux Magazin artice in Germany? 2010-05-10 03:30 4 pages in a nice magazine about Ben NanoNote, but don't know the circulation of the magazine 2010-05-10 03:30 ? 2010-05-10 03:30 Pulster knows already 2010-05-10 03:31 I have no idea! :) good news :) 2010-05-10 03:31 just sent you a link 2010-05-10 03:35 is dreaming a qi-hardware 50¬ simple but free phone 2010-05-10 03:40 ouch! wlan is very highlighted (too much) 2010-05-10 03:40 tuxbrain: well that's what we are working towards, no? 2010-05-10 03:41 it's just a huge amount of technology in the little phone, so it needs some time to come together 2010-05-10 03:41 fortunately some people see the big picture, hopefully it will grow over time and we don't die on the way (but even then I'm sure others continue) 2010-05-10 03:42 die is not an option 2010-05-10 03:42 tuxbrain: there you go, I know we will hang in for a while :-) 2010-05-10 03:43 ok cu 2010-05-10 03:43 tuxbrain: did you try Debian on your Nano? who did? 2010-05-10 03:43 cu 2010-05-10 03:43 will try debian today or tomorrow 2010-05-10 04:01 wolfspraul: i did ;) 2010-05-10 04:06 hehehe emdete authors not counting :P 2010-05-10 04:07 emdete: any progress in sd booting? 2010-05-10 04:07 tuxbrain: :) yes, you are right. but josch takes over now, he got the dev today 2010-05-10 04:07 emdete: authors count, but now we need to transfer the experience to the readers... 2010-05-10 04:08 tuxbrain: just playing around with it. did you have any success? 2010-05-10 04:08 not, I will try the "classical" method in short 2010-05-10 04:09 emdete: the kernel from the latest openwrt-image, can it be used for debian without recompile? 2010-05-10 04:11 wolfspraul: no, its missing two options, one will be switched on in the future as i understand, the other is in discussion. also we use differen partition sizes for now 2010-05-10 04:12 but it is possible to agree on a common set of options i think 2010-05-10 04:13 ah OK 2010-05-10 04:13 will run to the office - back in a minute... 2010-05-10 04:14 hey guys 2010-05-10 04:15 got my nn a few minutes ago and am in process of bootstrapping debian for it atm 2010-05-10 04:15 stay tuned 2010-05-10 04:15 tuxbrain: i guess you want to be pinged once i have smth? 2010-05-10 04:17 josch: mmmm only if you explainme what is smth, it hurts? 2010-05-10 04:17 i hope it will not 2010-05-10 04:18 can't wait and is flashing debian right now 2010-05-10 06:08 debian failed at first try, uboot and kernel ok but rootfs not found (kernel panic) erasing rootfs and reflashing again rootfs 2010-05-10 07:07 Does anyone know details about the nand flash?  Which bank is it connected to?  Does it need the NFCE bit set or not?  Which error-correction is better? 2010-05-10 08:42 Carlos Camargo: Minor changes on SAKC gerbers http://qi-hw.com/p/nn-usb-fpga/07ca557 2010-05-10 09:09 emdete: No way on booting debian, I guess there is problems with qi u-boot and partitions due it was unnable to open the rootfs, Ben cannot use the avt2 uboot it doesn't work on ben at all, where I can put the kernel panic log? 2010-05-10 09:13 depends on the u-boot. qi-default is serial, mine is lcd 2010-05-10 09:20 I have the kernel panic, I just want to know where to postit 2010-05-10 09:20 will take a picture :P 2010-05-10 09:21 to upload on my own website 2010-05-10 09:22 good 2010-05-10 09:23 :D 2010-05-10 09:23 tuxbrain: just tell us the url ;) 2010-05-10 09:25 http://www.tuxbrain.com/sites/default/files/debiankernelpanic.jpg 2010-05-10 09:27 tuxbrain: there is a wrong root= in the kernel args... can you do a `strings` on the u-boot binary you flashed to check the kernel params? 2010-05-10 09:28 ops closed the bad window 2010-05-10 09:28 bad->wrong 2010-05-10 09:29 emdete:see the pic? 2010-05-10 09:29 tuxbrain: yes 2010-05-10 09:29 any clue? 2010-05-10 09:29 tuxbrain: there is a wrong root= in the kernel args... can you do a `strings` on the u-boot binary you flashed to check the kernel params? 2010-05-10 09:29 shevek: thnx! :D 2010-05-10 09:29 tuxbrain: You just missed that. ;-) 2010-05-10 09:30 tuxbrain: but i have overseen the line on top of the screenshot - ubi0... makes sense. but a strings is always a good thing to do ;) 2010-05-10 09:31 tuxbrain: block(0,0) is probably a fallback 2010-05-10 09:32 emdete: I expect it to be the detected major and minor number, which both remain 0 when detection fails.  But that makes it behave as a fallback, though a useless one. ;-) 2010-05-10 09:33 0,0 is probably first ide and often right ;) 2010-05-10 09:33 now the cuestion is... how I do that "strings" 2010-05-10 09:33 I'm a damn shopkeeper! 2010-05-10 09:33 tuxbrain: :D in the shell type string u-boot*.bin 2010-05-10 09:33 in what shell? 2010-05-10 09:33 hm... how do u flash? 2010-05-10 09:33 emdete: No, 0 is not actually registered as a block device.  8 is ide. 2010-05-10 09:34 ok using uboot 2010-05-10 09:34 shevek: oh, then it's always crap ;) 2010-05-10 09:34 ok in the host shell!!!! 2010-05-10 09:35 mmmm I start feeling like a windowser in fosdem 2010-05-10 09:35 :D we like you for selling nanos, not for using shells! :D 2010-05-10 09:36 ouch!, my geek-ego is lying crying on the floor... 2010-05-10 09:40 result of #strings openwrt-xburst-u-boot.bin|grep bootargs 2010-05-10 09:40 bootargs 2010-05-10 09:40 bootargsfromsd 2010-05-10 09:40 bootargs=mem=32M console=tty0 console=ttyS0,57600n8 ubi.mtd=2 rootfstype=ubifs root=ubi0:rootfs rw rootwait 2010-05-10 09:40 bootargsfromsd=mem=32M console=tty0 console=ttyS0,57600n8 rootfstype=ext2 root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 rw rootwait 2010-05-10 09:45 ?

2010-05-10 12:01 hrhr 2010-05-10 12:01 but we can damn well try :D 2010-05-10 12:04 yes I hope xiang or larsc wake up from the sofa and put at least this item in their empty todo list :P 2010-05-10 12:04 hrhr 2010-05-10 12:07 meanwhile I will work in the compiling part of the arduino plan, due flashing has few chances if we can isolate keyboard from uart 2010-05-10 12:08 can -> can't 2010-05-10 12:30 vegyraupe: now the sweed drop is in my front, does the uboot support the U+Power to flash or was the buggy one that doesn't work?.... 2010-05-10 12:31 sweed->sweet 2010-05-10 12:33 tuxbrain: pwr+U *should* work 2010-05-10 12:35 ok I will confirm in a *couple* of minutes 2010-05-10 12:36 :D 2010-05-10 13:21 Juan64Bits: Adding expansion pcb for sakc http://qi-hw.com/p/nn-usb-fpga/5938d65 2010-05-10 13:59 Lars-Peter Clausen: pwm fixes. http://qi-hw.com/p/qi-kernel/f1df893 2010-05-10 13:59 Lars-Peter Clausen: jz4740-battery: Add MODULE_ALIAS entry http://qi-hw.com/p/qi-kernel/78fb315 2010-05-10 14:24 hrmpf, stupid opkg... :( 2010-05-10 14:24 it does not even allow underscores in package names 2010-05-10 14:24 well, it does... - but it results in very misleading faults... 2010-05-10 14:25 larsc, i guess we have to rename all the libX*-packages as well 2010-05-10 14:25 and dependencies to them 2010-05-10 14:26 *sigh* 2010-05-10 14:29 we could patch opkg 2010-05-10 14:29 larsc, yeah, however that way our packages are incompatible with other systems which use opkg 2010-05-10 14:30 it's quite common that people are using openwrt-ipk's in their environment 2010-05-10 14:30 then we should push that patch upstream 2010-05-10 14:32 larsc, you don't think they did that for reason?

2010-05-10 17:57 wrong chan 2010-05-10 17:58 :) ok 2010-05-10 18:04 is fascinating seing apt-get installing packages 2010-05-10 18:06 tuxbrain: great news! you did it again 2010-05-10 18:07 obstination and friends are powerful weapons :P 2010-05-10 18:07 kristianpaul: u there? does Debian work on your Nano now? 2010-05-10 18:07 tuxbrain, any benefits from running debian on nano? 2010-05-10 18:07 wolfspraul: not 2010-05-10 18:07 i need time to test 2010-05-10 18:07 now at work 2010-05-10 18:07 zear: a looooooooooooooooooooooot of pakages ready to install and play 2010-05-10 18:08 ;D 2010-05-10 18:08 any graphical ones? :) 2010-05-10 18:08 seems after try some times flashing it works as i was told here before 2010-05-10 18:09 zear:not tested yet, I'm focused on compile/flashing arduino stuff 2010-05-10 18:09 ah, ok 2010-05-10 18:10 kristianpaul: you shouldn't need to flash several times. either it's flashed or not. 2010-05-10 18:10 if it doesn't work after the first flashing, let me know 2010-05-10 18:14 kristianpaul: I agree with wolfgang, I have made a lot of trys I think the problem is on the big image , well not really on the rootfs itself is more like uboot/kernel , can't deal with such a monster. take a look at http://en.qi-hardware.com/pipermail/developer/2010-May/002932.html and you will find a win combination :) 2010-05-10 20:00 it's late and I'm barely falling sleep in front of the keyboard but.... I successfully compiled and Arduino sketch in a Ben NanoNote! :), tomorrow will start the flashing phase and see if every thing was really ok , good night 2010-05-10 20:02 good news is that bitrate of upload to Arduino 328 is same as default in ben serial, so let's cross fingers 2010-05-10 20:02 isn't free software beatifull? 2010-05-10 20:47 hi, everybody, 2010-05-10 20:47 i'm trying to compile with MAKE the openwrt and always says me this 2010-05-10 20:47 make[3] -C toolchain/binutils install  make[3] -C toolchain/gcc prepare  make[3] -C toolchain/kernel-headers prepare make -r world: build failed.
