rm: the phorinix due is just an ass. read how he writes. like a little child whos lolly got stolen
<hno>
DonkeyHotei, the very much same things we feel missing for XBMC on GNU Linux A10 is alsomissing for XMBC on Android Linux A10., audio&video codec support.
<gimli>
there is no xbmc android hw videodecoding for the A10
<hno>
hi gimli
<gimli>
hi hno
<hno>
gimli, any idea what that phorinix announcement is about?
<gimli>
hno: nope. i just know that dude is a big ass
<Shivan>
on android, i think xbmc could do the same thing that mx video player do, im not sure exactly how they do it, but i know that the thing can use HW decoding on every arm cpu... somehow.
<hno>
furan, should work fine. but you need to modify script.bin accordingly and reflash using livesuite with full format.
<Shivan>
first i trought it was using own codecs running on specific ARM instruccions(it comes with a codec pack), like Neon on armv7, but i try it on my aurora and its definately using the cedar decoder.
<hno>
Shu
<hno>
Shivan, are you really sure? I thought the CedarX was not fully integrated in Android either.
<Shivan>
there is no way that A10 can handle a + 20mbps 1080P VC-1 video whiout Cedar
<Shivan>
with a cpu underclocked to 300mhz
<hno>
agreed
<hno>
interesing. so probably CedarX have got a working OMX face now.
<hno>
Shivan, do you you have adb running? (or otherwise a root shell'?)
<Shivan>
yeah
<specing>
furan: gb as in gigabits?
<hno>
Shivan, can you try "stagefright -l"
<specing>
furan: my tablet has an unpopulated pad identical to the nand (32gbit) one
<hno>
specing, many do. The A10 supports two NAND chips, and having pads gives production flexibility in selection components and flash size.

well i heard that Allwinner does not use OMX... but i dont know how MX video player can enable HW video playback on Cedar, its using something, the cpu underclock rules out the possibility of using their own ARM codecs that take advantage of cpu instruccions, i think they use that for software decode mode. I did not much about it either, because it was working :P
<Shivan>
I did not care much about it either, because it was working :P

Mele2000 arrived, took 12 days on the way, not bad
<madmalkav>
well, in the odroid-x forum they said that hdmi port can do bitstreaming but some modification on the sources will be needed
<madmalkav>
good to know

he doesnt want to share it right now, it is still bogous, I just got beta build for testing because I've asked him for linux version. I will notify when it will atleast build firmware back
<hno>
Not interested in repacking, only decrypting.
<hno>
But got a windows thing running now so can do with the windows tools.
<Turl>
hm nope, broadcom's is called videocore, sorry for the confusion :)
<Shivan>
yeah, R-PI gpu its a good one, Vivante... well the gc860 on the JZ4770 is about -50% performance of a single core Mali-400
<specing>
So when is that announcement coming?
<steev>
rz2k: i've never been able to get my ly-f1 to boot with anything other than the provided tablets
<rz2k>
o_o
<rz2k>
why?
<steev>
er, not tablets, androids*
<steev>
dunno, i don't have serial out
* specing
smacks steev to get serial out

I just got this crazy idea

Hey all. Odd questions for anyone with A10 experience.
<specing>
How about if I plug the pl2303 dongle into the A10 and use a computer with a hardware serial port to connect to it?
<specing>
maybe it will work
<WarheadsSE>
I received an A100, have serial hooked up to the UART port.
<WarheadsSE>
No matter which rendition I try, I get no video out of the thing, despite the device booting all the way up looking at the console. (stock android atm)

WarheadsSE: is this HDMI?
<WarheadsSE>
I've tried hdmi & vga
<WarheadsSE>
I have to find a tv that has rca..
<specing>
0.o
<Turl>
what?
<Turl>
even my state of the art LED monitor has rca :P
<WarheadsSE>
Heh.
<WarheadsSE>
This monitor/tv has coax, vga, dva, hdmi, and component
<Turl>
sometimes the rca is shared with the component connectors
<WarheadsSE>
:) Haven't stuck in an SD w/ image yet.
<mnemoc>
it's not much what we can do to help you with ta kernel not built from public sources
<WarheadsSE>
heh
<WarheadsSE>
component = composite..
<WarheadsSE>
thats a help :)
<WarheadsSE>
Now I get mode not supported, lol.
<rz2k>
mnemoc: same crap
<WarheadsSE>
currently writing the A1000 ubuntu image to sd card.

rz2k: uh
<rz2k>
need another tablet user to confirm tho
<rz2k>
am I only ly-f1 guy here?
<specing>
steev has it, too
<mnemoc>
it would be nice to know also if 3.4 works for anyone beside me
<specing>
mnemoc: I'll give it a go tomorrow
<mnemoc>
cool
<specing>
first I'll try to boot 3.0.8 with my pl2303 drivers compiled in
<specing>
and get serial the other way around
<specing>
DO you think I'll manage to convince the A10 to boot even after I remove the battery pack?
<specing>
maybe I should solder on a big cap instead
<Shivan>
nice bat
<specing>
it probably has low voltage detect
<specing>
?
<specing>
PS: RoHS is a bitch
<specing>
the serial line came off for the 91267942728659876315616461612th time
<specing>
I already run the tablet without its LVDS display attached
<specing>
also the usb host port is alive
<specing>
I though I had burned it the other day
<specing>
the sparks were everywhere
<WarheadsSE>
lol
<WarheadsSE>
FU Mele.
<WarheadsSE>
did like my amazon hdmi cable.
<xenoxaos>
it was the hdmi cable?
<specing>
hno: sorry for not doing anything for those gpios, my ARM9 devkit wont boot :X
<WarheadsSE>
yeah xenoxaos hdmi cable.
<xenoxaos>
:P
<WarheadsSE>
works perfectly for everything else in my house, except this.

it works

I've tried when I was thinking that my battery charging circuitry died when I was reflowing DDR3
<furan>
specing: gb as in gigabytes, 32gB tsop48 nand from micron
<furan>
specing: it's compatible with nand support on the chip, and it should be really easy to add an entry for it in the nand driver. it's in fact a larger size of a nand series already supported
