I tried to do some HW acceleration on my Mele, and guess what, it's not working... my tv stay all black

drynish: what OS/driver combo are you on, out of curiousity?
<drynish>
debian and using allwinner kernel
<projectgus>
using the steps on the wiki for the Mali X11 driver?
<drynish>
Yep
<drynish>
I dunno why even in non accelerated mode, my tv stays black
<drynish>
all drivers are loaded
<projectgus>
(I'm unable to help you I'm afraid, I'm just trying to understand for my own sake. Got given an MK802 yesterday but I haven't picked it up yet.)

good luck body :P
<drynish>
I want xbmc native on that beast :P
<projectgus>
do the allwinner drivers support EDID? I have a similar Samsung-based device where you have to get the output resolution right before the TV picks anything up
<drynish>
but xbmc on android could be a good alternative as loong as it's hardware accelerated
<projectgus>
or is it getting a signal, just an all-black signal?
<drynish>
don't think it's the issue ;)
<drynish>
Right now I'm running plain Linux on it
<drynish>
so it could be anything ;)
<projectgus>
the Samsung-based device I have was also made (by me) to run plain Linux :)
<drynish>
If I remove the SD card on it, android would boot ! :)
<drynish>
hummm maybe that's the issue, but my TV is adapting to 720p
<drynish>
usually it's more on the 1080p
<projectgus>
yeah if it's getting a signal but showing it as all-black then it's not the issue
<projectgus>
i wouldn't think, anyhow

I'm tired playing with it
<drynish>
I should have bought a pivos
<lundman>
i might, if they start selling overseas
<drynish>
I bought a mele
<drynish>
but I don't have cash anymore :P
<drynish>
Need to work !: )
<drynish>
I will surely soon buy my new system
<furan>
man it's great when an a10 device mfg is so dependent on you helping them out that they volunteer info on their hardware and you get it for free
<furan>
I just asked them which pads are used for uart and they freely volunteered it
<furan>
feels different, maaaan
<boulet>
ask them for their PCB layout, that might be a different story :o)
<furan>
haha
<furan>
well sure, that's the secret ingredient to cloning their product
<furan>
no factory would give that freely
<furan>
:D
<drynish>
Tell me that A2000 will soon be 100% compatible to Linux
<furan>
does it have to be true?
<orly_owl>
heh
<drynish>
No I don,t care ;)

will this cable support 2160P on A10 devices?
<popolon>
About less than 65$ mother board with A10 and SATA
<popolon>
650RMB
<rm>
650 Chinese yuan = 102.3009 US dollars
<popolon>
81€
<popolon>
ok
<popolon>
don't know exactly the $ value as I never (but HK $) used it, sorry
<popolon>
0.8€
<popolon>
and by 100 pieces so, more expansive that several other models
<Dandel_>
yea, and most end users don't exactly care about having all outputs... 99% of the time all they really want is working sound (hdmi and headphones), video ( hdmi mainly), sdcard, and usb host capability.
<popolon>
but I think several people here want SATA for not too slow boot /load time
<Dandel_>
and as for nice, but not required, you can say that the usb OTG ( useful for devs, but not required), wifi and ethernet fall under that.
<Dandel_>
popolon: that's where a class 10 sdcard fits in
<Dandel_>
or small, but usable built-in flash
<popolon>
sdcard is still too slow
<popolon>
class 30 still don't reach basic SATA HDD perfs
<popolon>
that are themselve far from SSD
<Dandel_>
yea, and most of the time users *DO NOT* need ssd speeds.
<popolon>
this motherboard is for advertisement hardware
<popolon>
but hdd
<popolon>
speed
<popolon>
and storage space
<Dandel_>
storage, yes, but speed no
<popolon>
most user laugh when they see the starting time of system on sdcard
<popolon>
how many minutes ?
<popolon>
when you boot on 10 or 15 s on hdd
<popolon>
and the same for applications
<Dandel_>
strange... i've seen my bootup clock in at around 20 seconds to usable terminal ( on slow hardware using sdcard)
<Dandel_>
the a10 chip is a luxary car when compared to the hardware i am talkin about.
<Dandel_>
if anything, I'd say the bootable image needs optimization
<popolon>
but medium user don't use text terminal ;)
<Dandel_>
i login and start x... takes about 5 seconds.
<popolon>
ok, not too bad
<Dandel_>
the kicker.... it's a class 4 sdcard

heh. It was a paid project for repurposing the ZyXEL NSA-320

I'd say thats a toy.
<WarheadsSE>
PLus, they paid for the device & the SSD that is in it.

pucko: does it matter? :P
<RaYmAn>
the main branch on there is uhm..based on the "released" sources. It has some changes though.

iirc there is a lichee branch thats the unmodified allwinner source

it wasn't originally - I think they blessed the current variant though
