techn_: And, it worked flawlessly this time. I have the gpio kernel module, without having to go through crazy steps. I now have X11 running on the A13 Olinuxino.
<servili007>
wait....is it supposed to be an a10 based hard drive enclosure?
<focus_it>
it claims to run Linux (not android)
<buZz>
sadly not cheap :P
<buZz>
is there accelerated X11 on A10 yet?
<focus_it>
sort of what I were thinking - sources; where did they get support to port linux to it?

Allwinner do have Linux kernel sources for F10. We even have most of it in our sunxi tree.
<orly_owl>
f10 is their new soc?
mikey_w has joined #arm-netbook
<ManoftheSea>
I think I am having trouble building my sunxi-linux kernel. 3.0.52+ from hno tree...
<ManoftheSea>
the uImage says Load Address: 40008000
<ManoftheSea>
Entry Point: 40008000
<ManoftheSea>
but qemu crashes, saying those are outside memory.
<ManoftheSea>
hno: do you know what the uImage for an a10 should use for its load address?
<buZz>
cant you read the load address out of a compiled kernel?
<ManoftheSea>
I will try that.
<ManoftheSea>
hmm, the 3.0.32+ seems to agree.
<ManoftheSea>
so... /me looks for more qemu howto.
mikey_w has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
<ManoftheSea>
okay, so... Qemu would have to know how to run an a10 device.
<ManoftheSea>
I guess that makes sense, just didn't know it yet. Awesoem.
<buZz>
so the load address was correct? :)
<ManoftheSea>
buZz: It agrees with the kernel I downloaded rather than built. The use of qemu was wrong.
<buZz>
ok :)
<ManoftheSea>
also, hello. I'm trying to get an image on uSD for a mk802ii. hno's uboot supposedly supports it, and I *think* I compiled a sunxi-linux kernel for it.
<ManoftheSea>
however, I have yet to see it actually work.
<buZz>
did you try the media-build sh script to build the uSD?
<buZz>
sunxi-media-create.sh in sunxi-bspscripts
<buZz>
s/sps/sp\/s/
<buZz>
:P
<ManoftheSea>
no, what? I tried to download and compile with a cross-compiler: uboot, linux-sunxi, and debootstrap --foreign
<ManoftheSea>
I should be able to get a booting system without, right?
<buZz>
yeah but
<buZz>
this script also sets up the partitions in the proper way
<buZz>
and puts the right binary in the mbr
<buZz>
and the hwpack also has script.bin or something
<buZz>
the file that holds the A10 specific options your system supports
gzamboni has joined #arm-netbook
<ManoftheSea>
Ok. So, there's no hwpack for the mk802ii. I did the partitioning, as well as dropping spl at 8k and u-boot at 32k.
<buZz>
right right
<ManoftheSea>
I am a little stuck on the UART access.
<buZz>
and script.bin is there?
<buZz>
why so? no pins?
<ManoftheSea>
Not that I can find/understand
<ManoftheSea>
Also, I haven't gotten my USB-TTL yet.
<buZz>
i still want a mk802 .. one day ..
Dhraakellian has quit [Ping timeout: 252 seconds]
<buZz>
ah, my cubieboard had a ttl cable included
<ManoftheSea>
no, this is the v2.
<ManoftheSea>
or... something.
<ManoftheSea>
I guess there's an 802, an 802+, an 802ii, and an 802iii... Also, the wifi chip in mine identifies it as a clone.
Dhraakellian has joined #arm-netbook
<ManoftheSea>
on /dev/mmcblk0p1, I've got "boot.scr script.bin uEnv.txtuImage"
<buZz>
sounds about right
itamarjp has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
<ManoftheSea>
Hmm... do you know what the root= param should be?
<ManoftheSea>
it's /dev/mmcblk0p2 on here... but I don't know what the mk802ii sees it as.
<buZz>
probably as that
<ManoftheSea>
ok.
<ManoftheSea>
Then I guess I get to keep staring at the board, trying to figure out what these pins are.
<ManoftheSea>
Thanks.
<buZz>
:/
<ManoftheSea>
Well, I'm at the point where I need feedback, and without serial, I can't be sure whether U-boot is failing, the kernel is failing, or the network {modules,setup} is failing.
gzamboni has quit [Read error: Operation timed out]
<ManoftheSea>
on the other hand... there may not BE uart pins on here.
<ManoftheSea>
There are like... 8-9 pins arranged next to a uSD sized outline.
<orly_owl>
self-destruct button
<ManoftheSea>
One of the USB is inside that footprint, though, and it doesn't match the actual uSD on the other side.
<ManoftheSea>
self-destruct?
<orly_owl>

so I got tslib and xf86-input-tslib to work, finally
<Skaag>
but it's totally uncalibrated
<Skaag>
I ran ts_calibrate and saved the result in /etc/pointercal but it's still out of whack

meh, the battery i had between my lapdock and cubieboard, drains while running :(
<buZz>
i was hoping it would just be semi-intelligent and give the input directly to the output when battery is full :)
<countz>
ok got it calibrated :-)
<countz>
all working great!

<servili007>
ManoftheSea: what are you looking to do on the mk802ii?
<servili007>
because for the time being, build you modules and kernel on the sunxi-3.4 branch in linux-sunxi, otherwise it's going to give you a headache for something you don't have to waste time on
<servili007>
and if you want a hardware-pack and don't want to build one yourself, I have plenty for the mk802ii

servili007: It's still wip.. I need to figure out how to get modules to cwm recovery.img
<servili007>
techn_: what's still broken?
<techn_>
I need sun4i-keyboard.ko module to recovery.img
<techn_>
+ and - keys are not working
<servili007>
cant you just decompile it into its kernel and ramdisk and inject into ramdisk?
<servili007>
also fix the keys while you're at it
<techn_>
servili007: yes I can, but I'd like to it proper way
<servili007>
hehe, okay, well then you'll want to include some recovery proprietaries
<techn_>
so I can get this to sunxi-bsp
<servili007>
right, you're starting from the allwinner-dev-team repos, right?
<techn_>
servili007: yes.. sunxi-bsp -> make android (uses allwinned-dev-team repos)
<servili007>
right
<techn_>
btw. you know any documentation for that android img build system?
<servili007>
not off the top of my head aside from the standard android and CM wiki's/pages, but I'll take a look

tablets are depressingly keeping their price - Dell Streaks seem to still be selling for about 150
<servili007>
techn_: you've tried to build recovery with a modified recovery_keys.c and still couldnt get VOLUMEUP and VOLUMEDOWN recognized?
<techn_>
That wont help since there is no module loaded for those keys
<techn_>
after loading keyboard.ko, I'll get event0 which responds to + and -
<techn_>
oh.. event1

badly described A13 tablets selling on ebay for about 55gbp
<rm>
too expensive
<rm>
around $55 on Aliexpress
<penguin42>
rm: Nod, especially given how badly described them, I was bidding upto about 20

perhaps the next year's $50 tablets will have a 1024x600 resolution and a 1GB of RAM
<rm>
I tried an InfoTM tablet with 800x480, it's too small for web browsing
<penguin42>
rm: One of the UK resellers was selling an A10 with I think 1GB RAM for £45 but they had a very very small stock; it was front page of the 'sale' sheet but very few of them

soldermasks suggests that this board is used for different purposes
<buZz>
afaik, those pins are placed to be a microsd socket, but the soldermask suggests it got a different purpose, as those loads dont match the SD pinout
