<slapin_>
and is there any docs on implementation, where is hec phy?
<slapin_>
this feature is very interesting for a10 boards
<slapin_>
but probably not too practical at the time
<slapin_>
probably mac-only ethernet switch + hec phy + normal phy will do
<slapin_>
on mk802 original and 1GB version I see menu option to configure resolution, and it works on my small screen tv with hdmi input
<buZz>
slapin_: doet it list 1366x768 ?
<hno>
slapin_, Ethernet started as a single coax wire bus topology.
<hno>
oliv3r, yes CEC is a separate wire.
<hno>
DVI can carry HDMI video+audio signals. But DVI decoders can not decode them. DVI inputs connected to a HDMI decoder can.
<hno>
Some interoperability is possible on video stream. But not guaranteed. But if the display have HDMI input then it very likely accepts full HDMI video+audio on DVI connectors as well.

slapin_, HEC is a balanced twisted pair + shield.

i thought that the video + audio DVI thing was something propriatory used by some video cards
<hno>
oliv3r, not really. Only HDMI signalling over DVI connector, with cable adapter to HDMI.
<hno>
HDMI carries audio over the same LVDS pairs as video. Just another packet type.
<hno>
DVI and HDMI differs slightly in video formats supported, using different resolutions and colour encoding.
<oliv3r>
ah, didn't know that
<hno>
but same signalling and overall packet format.
<slapin_>
hno: hi
<oliv3r>
i thought they'd abuse some pins, but that kinda makes sense, if you have a HDMI controller, why not
<slapin_>
hno: I found no second wire in specification
<slapin_>
hno: I wired some of BNC ethernet networks myself :-P
<slapin_>
hno: any NAND news? going to work on it in a few hours, as I get a break from paid work.
<hno>
slapin_, no news. Haven't been able to look at it for some weeks now.
<slapin_>
hno: could you please give me link on your processor boot dump again to repeat your register setting with reading first block (boot0)?
<hno>
Allwinner-info git repository in NAND directory.
<slapin_>
hno: falied to parse
<slapin_>
hno: ah
<hno>
The dumps are found in the NAND directory of my My Allwinner-info git repository on github.
<slapin_>
hno: thanks
<hno>
slapin_, I still have logic analyzer connected if there is something you want me to verify.
<hno>
but out of ideas how to drive this in CPU mode.
<hno>
DMA mode is pretty easy however.
<slapin_>
hno: so you were able to read all pages of NAND block 0, but not othere, am I right?
<hno>
No. I can only read first sector usign CPU, and only by sending the read command and then reset the controller.
<hno>
trying to read second sector only returns garbage. Presumably because randomizer needs different seeding.
<hno>
And having to reset the NAND controller to access the result is just wrong.
<slapin_>
hno: have you seen correlation between seed values in leechie u-boot?
<slapin_>
hno: wnd why you need to reset controller?

I'm just browsing a local tech shops tablets and they're selling a MyAudio 708W (something unbranded ofcourse) - and in description they have: Allwinner A13 ARM cortex AND Rockship 1.2GHz (yes, not even Rockchip spelled correctly)
<jinzo>
and I tought only chinese are capable of such screwups/lack of knowledge on what you're selling
<jinzo>
damn Rocker is on fire on the wiki :D

anyone know what's the state of CryptoDev (/dev/crypto) on Allwinners SoCs?
<jinzo>
on the note: Focalprice has a christmas promotion with free express shipping (ofcourse free as in "free")
<jinzo>
but still, a lot of tablets and phones in there
<jinzo>
from the usual suspects to iMX6 quad core version (200USD)
<buZz>
nice :D
<specing>
jinzo: nonexistant

specing, you mean iMX6 Quad? There were some shippings, even from hiapad (for their dongle)
<jinzo>
but yes

cryptodev
<jinzo>
ah ok - thanks for the info. Even in the Android builds? As Android has some sort of encryption available (in ICS+)

I need help configuring X11 to work on an Olinuxino A13 with the drive sun4i-ts
<Skaag>
Last time I configured X11 was more than 10 years ago… :-o
<Skaag>
I already compiled that, and used this to build my SD card
<Skaag>
I mean that's how I actually have debian on my a13, thanks to sunxi-bsp :)
<Skaag>
I have an LCD7-TS connected to it
<Skaag>
I'm sure the VGA port would work fine, but I'm trying to get the LCD + TouchScreen to work
<techn_>
ah.. lcd
<Skaag>
yes :-(
<Skaag>
Something tells me I'm about to enter a world of pain
<techn_>
you have something visible on lcd?
<Skaag>
nothing
<Skaag>
it blinks once, when the a13 boots
<techn_>
backlight running?
<Skaag>
if I remove my SD card, Android boots (comes built into the A13), and the screen works
<Skaag>
backlight is currently off
<techn_>
first.. make sure that you have same script.bin / .fex file as with that stock android
<Skaag>
i'll convert my .bin to .fex so I can inspect it
<techn_>
if they are same.. then check stock android lcd.ko, which objects it consists.. since they could have build lcd.ko with hardcoded lcd parameters :/
<techn_>
if that wont help.. you could ask help from olinuxino to get right parameters to script.bin. :/
<techn_>
unless you are skilled enough to read them on datasheet (if available)
<Skaag>
two of them are for LCD, with my resolution
<Skaag>
I can read from data sheet, I just figured there might be a simpler solution. maybe this is my ticket. trying it out now.
<Skaag>
I mean I can't be the first person who tries this :-0
<Skaag>
:)
<techn_>
ok. place correct one to ./sunxi-boards/sys_config/a13/a13_olinuxino.fex
<techn_>
then make hw-pack install :)
<techn_>
seems that .fex file in our repo uses 800x600 panel, your panel is 800x480?
<Skaag>
yes, it's 800x480
<techn_>
yep.. so changin that should do the trick
<Skaag>
I have to re-make hw-pack? I can't just take the correct .fex, bin it, and stick it in my vfat partition on the sd?
<techn_>
Skaag: sure :)
<Skaag>
oh ok
<Skaag>
is that what happens while making hw-pack?
<techn_>
yep.. makefile system should do that for you.. but if you feel that making it manually, you can do that
<mnemoc>
if it works, please give us the relevant diff
<mnemoc>
to fix/improve sunxi-boards
<techn_>
mnemoc: it should work.. atleast I havent seen problems with that
<mnemoc>
I mean the fix for ./sunxi-boards/sys_config/a13/a13_olinuxino.fex
<techn_>
mnemoc: ah :)

there are 3 for some reason… magic.bin, script.bin and script0.bin
<Skaag>
ok magic.bin is not really a .fex file originally, it's probably the boot record, since it's 512 bytes exactly

i have a a10 tablet, board a710, build.prop: http://pastebin.com/R1czQXkg ; uboot http://pastebin.com/Q3Eg6Rzs ; im trying to make it boot android jb from sd with no luck :/ i've tried several tutorials, several uboots and kernels. I managed to lunch linaro lubuntu; from .img i dl'ed from xda; uboot from that .img doesnt work for android :/
<mentis>
i've found the lichee 3.0.8 kernel that qware leaked, build the kernel and this is the only one that boots on my device
<mnemoc>
mentis: compare it with the [dram_para] section of your .fex and correct any diff
<mnemoc>
then add it to sunxi-boards with a decent board name ;-)
<mnemoc>
next create a dir in u-boot-sunxi/board/allwinner/ with the same name

I just checked my disp_init section, it looks ok

Skaag: is it the same as in android?

yes

actually that's where I got it

I mounted the NAND, and copied the script.bin file from there, and used bin2fex to decode it

not good?

sorry. misread. thought you were using stock android's kernel.

still doesnt work :/ i donkt know what to do, this is the first 1MB from the lubuntu img i downloaded, and dd'ed to sdcard it boots; http://c0re.pl/stuff/boot.img; this is 1st 1MB from my card with uboot,spl i made that doesnt event get detected http://c0re.pl/stuff/not_boot.img, despite that i did exactly as instructed

pls oh please what is wrong?
