<lundman>
they made SPL (solaris porting layer) first, then the zfs are the same as Suns
<jelly-home>
it'd have to be distributed as source, built by dkms on similar on the fly
<Turl>
might need to move my OS to it when I move disks then
<lundman>
really really good way to do it
<Turl>
shouldn't be too far in the future
<lundman>
jelly: nah
<jelly-home>
lundman: which distro has the opinion that licensing is not an issue?
<Turl>
The result of this will be two source rpm packages... Yes, source rpm packages. Currently, deb style packages are built by first creating rpm packages and then converting them to deb packages using alien.
<Turl>
bwahaha
<Turl>
seriously? :|
<lundman>
you can't ship the kernel with it, true. but as extra module? none of them have issues
<Turl>
licensing issue? what's it?
<lundman>
CDDL vs GNU
<Turl>
CCwhat?
<lundman>
i love how many people go "oh zfs, licensing issues" and then run binary puke from nvidia
<lundman>
sighs
<Turl>
I don't :P all my stuff is intel
<jelly-home>
run is less important than distribute
<jelly-home>
lundman: and nvidia explicitely allows redistribution
<lundman>
aaanyhoo, its there, its native, it runs very well, and debian ubuntu etc has it in repo
<jelly-home>
lundman: debian does not
* jelly-home
just looked
<lundman>
brian mentioned it in the zfsday speech
<lundman>
ah, ok debian users just need to point the repo to them and say install
<lundman>
never tried with package system, I get kernel sources to build my kernel, then download and build spl/zfs myself
<lundman>
actually from github, since I do patches
<lundman>
I have 3.4.6 3.0.36 2.6.32.9 kernels
<lundman>
did i write down how to replace the kernel for mele android
<lundman>
I did, woo, current lundman thanks past lundman

We are communicating and supporting gimli who is one of the major contributor to xbmc all winner A10 project.
<mnemoc>
until tom left AW I hoped I would be able to buy a sun6i devkit eventually :<
<ozone>
It takes a little bit more time than expected. We are not familiar with xbmc and the community is not familiar with our chipset. Please kindly wait and you shall be satisfied one day. Sorry for keeping the community wait.
<mnemoc>
a major contributor who doesn't care to share
<mnemoc>
or work in public

and why cedarX is so closed :
<ozone>
Cedarx is one of the most outstanding self-developed technology of Allwinner and we prefer to open it in lib but not source code due to commercial reason.

<mnemoc>

<oliv3r>
ffs, stupid device won't boot into CWM :S
<mnemoc>
be sure to use the right u-boot/spl and right script.bin
<oliv3r>
i flashed a recovery.img into nang. the thing is, sometimes it appears to work, sometimes not
<ZaEarl>
booting to recovery is dependant on the right script.bin
<oliv3r>
it just refuses to boot CWM and boots normally
<oliv3r>
but then other times, it just boots fine
<oliv3r>
(into CWM)*
<hno>
oliv3r, the "button at boot for recovery" is Allwinner u-boot.
<ZaEarl>
I'd say make sure no cables/charger are attached
<oliv3r>
now that is a golden tip
<oliv3r>
i think that may be it
<oliv3r>
but, adb reboot recovery fails the same way (but has worked fine earlier today)
<hno>
actually there is something in allwinner boot1 as well, but only used for older android.
<oliv3r>
zaearl you are my hero :p
<ZaEarl>
yw
<oliv3r>
i do press volume+ and - cause i dont' know which one it is :p its supposed to be volume-; but they swapped volume keys. when I use the original stock firmware 4.0.3, vol- is vol-, but in 4.0.4 it is swapped. (they supply livesuit images as 'updates');
mysteryname has quit [Ping timeout: 240 seconds]

find the script.bin you like, and keep it around for when the new livesuit image has a bad one.
<ZaEarl>
whoever builds those script.bins is pretty sloppy.

i'm not that far into a10 hacking yet
<oliv3r>
ideally, i should make my own! :p

i need to setup my dev evniroment for sunxi yet :)
<oliv3r>
but keys + power over usb is the combo that makes it fail :)

could that cause flash troubles/failures?

i installed CM10 rom on it, and while i could log in via adb shell, the bootscreen kept running and that's it

i flashed it using a livesuit image (supplied by manufacturer) and after it said 'flash successful' ... nothing. When I push the reset button, i get an empty battery indicator first, then the 'charging' battery indicator (whilst no charger is connected) and that's it. it fades out and doesn't do anything anymore. Only pressing the reset does anything
<oliv3r>
which is bringing the battery charging animation :S
<rz2k>
press power for 15 seconds
<rz2k>
this will force axp209 to turn off cpu
<mnemoc>
sometimes when they seem dead they are actually on FEL
<rz2k>
then press power again
<oliv3r>
yay!
gimli has joined #arm-netbook

so 15 seconds of power will 'always' force the axp209 to turn off the CPU? no matter what?

FEL = DFU?
<oliv3r>
just wondering cause the pc didn't recoginze the PC
<mnemoc>
FEL is a low level usb recovery mode. if you plug it to a computer you'll see a device listed
<oliv3r>
hmm, livesuit didn't detect it
<oliv3r>
anyway, lots to learn even still :D
<mnemoc>
:)
<oliv3r>
so FEL is used to write live images right?
<oliv3r>
i did try to put it into livesuite writ emode (vol- + power button smashing), but only got some device error USB errors
<mnemoc>
to read, write and call memory
<oliv3r>
ah, so FEL is even lower then livesuit image writing?
<mnemoc>
livesuit uses it to push it's install and the data for it

ah, strange that livesuit didn't detect it

both work fine

mnemoc, a default branch with only a README telling the repository have moved ought to get most peoples attention.
<mnemoc>

<oliv3r>
i've downloaded christian troy's CM10 (and 9 too) archives
<mnemoc>
oliv3r: prefer Turl's repo
<oliv3r>
4and installed them. both work fine when using 4.0.3 as 'base' (but wiping everything in CWM), but not in 4.0.4
<oliv3r>
deff gonna try that
* hno
dont's understand a squat of what oliv3r is doing.
<oliv3r>
i flashed the 4.0.4 full image
<oliv3r>
then installed CWM and CM10
<oliv3r>
but it won't 'boot', bootanimation keeps looping, i can login, but the rom doesn't have root at that stage, so can't even do a dmesg to debug
<Turl>
forgot to wipe data? :P
<oliv3r>
what I don't get, even though i use the stock images as base, then format and reinstall CM10 (or 9) what can be IN the stock image to cause errors
<oliv3r>
lol i'll double check
<hno>
mnemoc, I should probably push stable u-boot version there, when there is one..
<oliv3r>
i wipe data, cache, dalvik cache

"wipe data/factory reset" does all that on one hit :)

it's pretty obvious to see what's wrong when running logcat
<oliv3r>
oh yeah
<hno>
mnemoc, didn't you have some A10 tablet?
<mnemoc>
hno: 3. but none is "mine" and I kind of forgot about them
<hno>
and they are sufficiently old so script.bin should have the data we need.
<mnemoc>
yes, very likely
<hno>
the change came with release of a13.
<mnemoc>
getting boot1 from a tablet is not a trivial thing
<mnemoc>
i suppose it scares people
<mnemoc>
(it scares me)
<techn>
hno: MID A10 tablet .fex config dram params are same as for mele_a1000.. MID A13 tablet's .fex file showed sligtly different params that olinuxo_a13.. I applied them and A13 tablet is booting with quite good success rate

ol1ver, livesuit detects the parameters while flashing the NAND.
