is almost happy. SDC2 soldering worked on first attempt, but forgot to add some easy way to block the NAND before glueing the uSD adapter ontop of the NAND and now it's hard to reach.
<hno>
Turl, because I am using an SPL made for SDC0 and have no card there.
<hno>
Apart from forgetting to add something to disable the NAND (need to use a metal piece now) it works perfect. The SD and NAND chip happily coexists on the same wires. Can't access both concurrently obviously but that's no issue.
<bsdfox>
Turl, looks like it's working
<bsdfox>
Turl, where is my script.fex located? I've got script.bin
<Turl>
bsdfox: script.fex is the output of `bin2fex' with your script.bin as input

is there a way to boot an image not name uImage ? I'm wondering if I can keep a safe uImage on my SD card so I don't need to keep pulling it out and walking across my house to toss it in the machine my cross compiler is on
<Turl>
bsdfox: yeah, you just need a proper uboot environment to load something named something else :)
benjamin__ has quit [Ping timeout: 255 seconds]
<bsdfox>
Turl, any way to do it from the sun4i# prompt I get when I "Hit any key to stop autoboot"?
<bsdfox>
I'd guess ext2load or something
<Turl>
bsdfox: run help
<Turl>
there's a command do print the env
<Turl>
and there's another one to set env variables
<Turl>
find where uImage is mentioned and reset those variables accordingly
<Turl>
then run boot :)
<bsdfox>
:)
<hno>
bsdfox, stop at the prompt. Then "setenv kernel nameofyourkernel" and "boot"
<hno>
assuming you are using my u-boot.
<bsdfox>
works :)
<bsdfox>
now I can be lazy and test things

do anybody knows how to fix minicom to transfer terminal size to console? I'm tired of wrecked busybox shell output :(
<slapin_>
jquip: none
<slapin_>
jquip: I'm currently documenting the controller
<slapin_>
jquip: no code yet
<mnemoc>
eval `resize` ?
<slapin_>
jquip: I won't use nand_sunxi, only as documentation.
<slapin_>
mnemoc: minicom. not ssh.
<jquip>
you mean youre building from scratch??
<mnemoc>
the current driver is way too different, refactoring is not possible
<mnemoc>
well... maybe
<slapin_>
mnemoc: how to transfer the result of resize using minicom?
<mnemoc>
slapin_: i forgot minicom emulates a tty.... I use microcom
<slapin_>
jquip: well, it is not that hard as soon, as I understand how it works.
<slapin_>
mnemoc: regardless, microcom doesn't know its size either.
<mnemoc>
it doesn't need to
<slapin_>
mnemoc: how come? you have 100x40 terminal, and userspace assumes it is 80x25
<slapin_>
mnemoc: everything will be broken
<mnemoc>
resize will ioctl the real tty
<mnemoc>
and then the exported vars will tell apps the size
<mnemoc>
eval `resize` over microcom just gave me a lovely 156x20 htop
<slapin_>
mnemoc: how the ttyS will know the size of your pty?
<slapin_>
weird :/
<mnemoc>
strace resize ? :p
<mnemoc>
/dev/tty is magic
<jquip>
slapin_ Do lemme know when documentation is sort of finishing! would love to chip in on the work if I am up to it... Can't seem to get my head around the kernel code yet... too big and changing quite fast.. and I don't know where to start to help... Some documentation would be a good thing..

WarheadsSE: nope, segfaults from libfb.so
<techn__>
libfb.so?
<rz2k>
that is fbdev in 1.13.x
<rz2k>
our driver relies on fbdev or libfb for direct output to framebuffer
<rz2k>
check the xorg logs, it always loads fbdev
<rz2k>
in 1.13 after first initialization (DRI2 stuff, getting resolutions of the screen from mali_lcd) it tries to access framebuffer and segfaults in libfb.so
<WarheadsSE>
yeah, kinda what I expected, since the api change
<rz2k>
before that for some unknown reason I had message from libdricore9.9.9 (strange name) that _glapi_* stuff is missing, even with libglapi present in system
<rz2k>
only way to fix that is track down the fbdev changes and fix the driver?
<rz2k>
or documentation for X is already updated?

That's pretty much it. Have to patch for the differences.

in any case, if stuff explodes and your system doesn't work you're way more likely to fix it from a working system on a liveusb/cd/dvd/by netbooting
