<Jonathan_Eyre1> When compiling for u-boot, it comlains that there is no cc1. http://linux-sunxi.org/FirstSteps
<Turl> do you have arm-linux-gnueabihf-* toolchain in path?
<Jonathan_Eyre1> Yes, but cc1 is not in the folder.
<Turl> and make sure you typed CROSS_COMPILE=... correctly, I typoed it once and took me a while to notice the mistake
<Jonathan_Eyre1> ... You mean the part where it says that I should "One option is to get a linaro released toolchain. Ignore most of the files there. Take the gcc-linaro-arm-linux-gnueabihf-*_linux.tar.bz2 file and untar it."
aholler_ has joined #arm-netbook
<Jonathan_Eyre1> I did that, and the folder did not contain anyhting that was Something,something,something_cc1
<Jonathan_Eyre1> I see _gcc and g++...
<Jonathan_Eyre1> hmm, could it be that I moved the contents of the tar to a custon bin folder, instead of referencing it with the * in the file? maybe...

<Jonathan_Eyre1> It is very obviously seeing the arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc executable, because that is the guy complaining that there is no cc1.
<Jonathan_Eyre1> I think I win something.
<Jonathan_Eyre1> I see a cc1 in /usr/lib/gcc/i686-linux-gnu/4.6/ After adding that folder the the environment path, I get the following:

<Jonathan_Eyre1> cc1: error: unrecognized command line option ‘-mthumb’

<Xlab> Hi all. I have a question about LiveSuit image repacking. I need to pack (boot.img, system.img, userdata.img), but there's only BOOT_00000000000 and SYSTEM_000000000.fex are being unpacked from the original image (for boot.img and system.img accordingly). How do I handle userdata.img in that case? Any tip will be appreciated :)

<rm> mk802 is pretty awesome with regard to power over USB
<rm> to one port I have plugged in an USB hub with a NIC, a sound card, a PS/2 adapter for keyboard+mouse, and also separately an USB mouse
<rm> in the other port, there's an USB DisplayLink VGA adapter
<rm> and it all works
<rm> the USB hub is unpowered
<rm> the only problem is, it's a bit of a wire mess
herdingcat has joined #arm-netbook
<rm> I wish it just had 4-6 USB ports on one side, not two, with one being on the side via this awkward OTG converter
<slapin> rm: which mk802? mine is hot as iron even without anything connected
<rm> I have both the first version with 512MB, and some later one with 1GB
<rm> the above is with the 1GB model
<br-> rm: what happens when it hits 100% cpu?
<rm> but they both run pretty cool
<rm> perhaps due to 2 reasons:
<rm> 2) I am not using Mali at all (nothing connected to HDMI), it's not initialized
<rm> and yeah, I remember the 512MB one was pretty hot when driving a DVI display and running stock Android
<rm> br-, nothing much, both are stable
gimli has joined #arm-netbook
<slapin> rm: mine 512MB is stable with Linux, too, unlike Android, but melts plastic bags
SouL_ has joined #arm-netbook
<slapin> rm: which cpu frequency do you use with 512MB version?
<slapin> 1GB with PMU is far cooler, but gets hot eventually, btw
<slapin> one without PMU behaves like 512MB version
<rm> 408...1008 currently
<rm> 408 MHz:85.42%,
<rm> 300 MHz:9.42%,
<rm> 1.01 GHz:5.07%
<rm> 19:58:26 up 20 days, 19:29, 1 user, load average: 0.00, 0.03, 0.05
<slapin> rm: interesting, and what is difference with stock android?
vinifm has quit [Quit: Ex-Chat]
<rm> what do you mean
<rm> I run Debian on both, not Android
<slapin> rm: is stock performance governor be ok?
<rm> I only ran Android for like 30 minutes, I remember it getting hot, that's all :)
<rm> slapin, the performance governor will set the frequency to the max, and leave it there
<rm> you need the "ondemand" one
<slapin> rm: do you disable android features in kernel?
<rm> yes
iriki has joined #arm-netbook
<rm> are those "features" in the first place? that's debatable :D
<rm> more like various crutches and limitations
<RaYmAn> considering a good deal fo them has been assimilated into mainline it's certainly features
<rm> ("paranoid networking" comes to mind)
<RaYmAn> but I know, you're just having fun trolling :P
<slapin> rm: have you tried playing video with Debian?
<rm> RaYmAn, last time I heard, e.g. "wakelocks" did not rate too highly with the "real" kernel developers either
<rm> slapin, no
<slapin> rm: I've gone crazy trying to distinguish what's is going on in one of Ubuntu images for mk802, when network was availabe magically only for root...
<rm> like I said I am not using the built in graphics
<slapin> rm: what are you using the devices for?
<rm> one mk802 is a server/router, and the other uses an USB DisplayLink video device
<rm> should try playing video over that... but since it uses driver only a bit more advanced than fbdev, and works over USB, don't have too much hope
<slapin> rm: what is this DisplayLink thing for? why not internal graphics?
<RaYmAn> rm: that's more issues with the implementation chosen rather than the idea itself
<RaYmAn> afaik
<slapin> I've played video once over USB video card, somewhat success, somewhat... it looks like video, though...

<rm> slapin, 1) until recently it couldn't do 1680x1050 over HDMI-to-DVI, that supposedly should work now, but I didn't try
<rm> 2) no DPMS support -- that's a showstopper
<slapin> rm: DPMS will work if you set wicked frequency values IIRC
<br-> rm, is this displaylink or builtin you're referring to?
<slapin> rm: it is pure software issue anyway.
<rm> br-, built in
<slapin> yes, just disable both frequencies and it will go to dpms off, this can be done in software and nothing prevents you from that
<rm> this needs to be done in the driver
<rm> the userspace software just pulls its ropes
<rm> or tries to
<rm> "xset dpms force off" just blanks the screen currently

<WarheadsSE> on which device
ibot has quit [Ping timeout: 252 seconds]
ibot has joined #arm-netbook
<ZaEarl> hramrach, even on ac power, you want the lower power usage to keep the heat down
hg_5 has joined #arm-netbook
<mnemoc> the axp20 is critical. the classic mk802 is an example of how hot an A10 can get without variable voltage
<hramrach> I am running on cubieaboard
<fragmint> I saw my first WM8650 netbook yesterday in the wild
<hramrach> I don't really mind the driveer that much but it creates an evedev device which I want to rid of
<fragmint> it was so cute
<mnemoc> hramrach: A10's cpufreq relies in the AXP. so if you disable it you'll be running at fixed speed all time
<WarheadsSE> fragmint: yeah, how shitty was it
<hramrach> it would be equivalent to cpufreq performance governor then which is supposed to work too
<fragmint> nowhere near as bad as I thought it would be
<fragmint> actually quite usable
<hramrach> 256MB ram
<hramrach> that's like rPI
<fragmint> although I didn't realize how small a 7" netboo would be... you have to keep in mind its 1" bigger than a Note2
<hramrach> the first netbooks by Asus were 7"
<hramrach> then they made them bigger so they are usable
<fragmint> if you've used one of the first generation tablets with a real pooey processor you know what to expect
<fragmint> but the screen was better than some of the bottom of the barrell ones I've seen and it felt a lot more responsive due to not having a horrible touchscreen that barely worked
<hramrach> seems minimal usable size for device with keyboard is 10" unless you have really small fingers
<fragmint> I didn't realize they have an SD slot, normal USB port, Ethernet
<fragmint> wireless in the darn thing was next to useless... very poor antenna
<hramrach> and 800x480 is just too small for reading and too small to display normal dialogs
<fragmint> would make a nice portable terminal
<fragmint> same size/res as most ereaders so you could use it to read/hammer out a document
<hramrach> I guess that normal dialogs requiring huge screens is a bug but go bug all the clickety sfotware authors to make their junk usable :s
<hramrach> 800x480 is maybe fine for documents you can re-wrap to fit the screen
<hramrach> not always dealing with such
hg_5_ has joined #arm-netbook
<fragmint> is it worth the $100 a lot of places want? no. but if you find one <$50 I wouldn't say its horrible for the price
<hramrach> for terminal it's nice but somewhat expensive unless you expect to need a terminal a lot

<hramrach> hmm. maybe it would be nice project to find a workable laptop keyboard and display
<hramrach> and make a 3D model of case that you cpuld print out and stuff the keyboard and display inside together with an ARM board
<hramrach> probably not as nice case as Mototola's but you get to pick what keyboard and display you use
<hramrach> and you could use LVDS interface on the board saving on components etc
hg_5 has joined #arm-netbook
<buZz> hramrach: sure, awesome
<buZz> but lapdock looks like some superexpensive ultrabook
<buZz> so thin :D
<hramrach> you can make it as thin as you want
<buZz> not thinner than cubieboard ;)
<hramrach> and with some nail polish or whatever it can look as slick if you insist ;-)
<buZz> or whichever hardware you want to embed
<hramrach> I am sure cubieboard would fit inside of that thing
<buZz> cubieboard is over 1.5cm high
<buZz> so it will not fit in a case that is <5mm high
<buZz> ;)
<hramrach> that does not look < 5mm to me
* buZz grabs lapdock and caliper
<hramrach> it's rather thick at the speakers
<hramrach> at least the model shown here
<buZz> hramrach: yes, 14mm there
<buZz> 8mm around keyboard
<hramrach> so about same
<buZz> screen 7mm
<hramrach> cubieboard is only thick at the ports
<buZz> well, it will not fit a cubieboard :P
<buZz> cubieboard has ports ALL OVER
<hramrach> but making the cse 2mm thicker will not make it visibly different and it will fit
<buZz> not really
<buZz> you would have to remove the batteries inside ;)
<buZz> and move them somewhere else
<buZz> so you will need a lot more than just 2mm extra thickness
hansg has quit [Quit: Leaving]
<hramrach> if you made it for cubieboard they would belesewhere to start with
<buZz> grabbing some old P3 laptop, gutting it and stuffing a cubieboard inside would be a lot easier, i think
<hramrach> that too
<hramrach> but having a case design that everyone can replicate is way cooler
<buZz> i agree :D
<hramrach> plus the display quality of old p3 laptops tends to be lame
* buZz wants to make a dockable case for cubieboard to just plug on top of lapdock's docking connector
<buZz> yeah lapdock has a sw33t display, 1366x768 11.1"
<hramrach> I mean the modern displays have somewhat better brightness/contrast than what used to be on p3 laptops
<hramrach> even most of the low-end ones
<buZz> also true
<hramrach> I am not soe excited about widescreens but keyboard is wide
<buZz> what i like LEAST about lapdock keyboard, is the missing Insert key
<hramrach> heh
<hramrach> never use that
<hramrach> but hey, that's why making your own case is cool
<hramrach> you get to pick the keyboard
<buZz> :D
<hramrach> the lapdock is cool idea but unless there are 100 clones to pick from or you make your own it's gonna be useless
<buZz> i use Insert to paste
<buZz> lapdock is cool because its supercheap
<buZz> between 50 and 100 euros
<buZz> try getting that price for a usb keyboard, usb mouse, hdmi screen with speakers, usb battery, usb hub, in a sexy case
focus_it has joined #arm-netbook
<hramrach> I use mice only for testing
<fragmint> yaaay
<hramrach> yes, that's cool
vinifm has joined #arm-netbook
<hramrach> but I guess I could not use the keyboard because it has FN in place of Meta
<buZz> you can remap second Alt
<buZz> there is also a second Ctrl which you could remap
<buZz> and CapsLock
<hramrach> maybe
<buZz> what maybe?
<hramrach> but definitely not nice
<hramrach> maybe it could be mapped to something like the right ctrl
<hramrach> or maybe better left
<buZz> ah yeah
<hramrach> the lame part is that unless you buy the Nokia phone to go with it you cannot put the board inside
<hramrach> so if you carry it it gets very awkward
<buZz> motorola phone ;)
<buZz> i am hunting for the 3d model for the phone that docks on this
<buZz> so i can print an adapter that sits totally flush without modding
rz2k has joined #arm-netbook
<buZz> found one model, but the designer is asking 40 usd for it >_<
<buZz> fucker
<hramrach> maybe you can get fake phone for display cheaper
<buZz> ah, right
<buZz> i thought you ment to salvage the display ;)
<buZz> i was thinking of getting a broken phone :P
<buZz> and just solder wires to the connectors in that ;)
<vinifm> Anyone know what the register for to configure PULL-UP, PULL-DOWN... from GPIO pins?
<buZz> ah it has that? nice vinifm
<vinifm> yes, i guess
<hramrach> hmm, the phone just sticks out of the back
<vinifm> A13
<hramrach> not really that nice
<hramrach> but good enough to carry form one room to another
<Turl> vinifm: maybe the mainline gpio/pinmux code has the answer for that
<mnemoc> vinifm: it's all in the same PORTC register.
<buZz> hramrach: did you see the wikipage i linked?
<hramrach> saw some of those 'padphones' that you stick inside a tablet dock?
<hramrach> guess not
<buZz> it has a picture of a raspi docked
<hramrach> oh, that's wikipage?
<buZz> yes
<buZz> the wiki of our hackerspace
<hramrach> you mean that picture of an octopus?
<buZz> hrhr
<buZz> that one i ment
<hramrach> not so bad compared to the original sticking phone
<buZz> well, i am meaning to make some printed blob of plastic, that encases the board + cables and fits the lapdock docking place
<Turl> buZz: how much does a lapdock cost these days?
<buZz> i bought this one for 80 euro incl customs surcharge
<buZz> and incl shipping from US :)
<WarheadsSE> Linux mele 3.0.57-1-ARCH
<Turl> WarheadsSE: nice
<hramrach> ugh, listed for $350 on Amazon
<WarheadsSE> now I just have to move the image to systemd
<buZz> i bought mine on ebay
voronaam has joined #arm-netbook
<hramrach> the list used for $69
<buZz> mine was used aswell
<Turl> 20$
<WarheadsSE> for now
<Turl> yeah, I forget ebay is mostly auctions >.<
<mnemoc> and US-only
<Turl> buy it now's go ~70
<hramrach> also it does not list which dock it is
<hramrach> it looks the same but the important part is the docking connector which is not shown
<buZz> Turl: you can filter on 'buy now' auctions
<mnemoc> someone should make a lapdock with civilized connectors and good screen
<hramrach> yeah. my saying ;-)
<Turl> mnemoc: wasn't that one of lkcl's projects?
discopig has quit [Ping timeout: 276 seconds]
<hramrach> where is that project?
<mnemoc> Turl: nah, he just wanted to reuse one and plug an eoma68 card
<mnemoc> just like everyone does with sticks, rpi, cubies, etc...
discopig has joined #arm-netbook
<Turl> mnemoc: :|
<Turl> I wouldn't mind, say, a lapdock with two long cables and a box I can leave inside my laptop bag
<vinifm> can i use PIO_REG_PULL(B, N, I) in user-space?
<mnemoc> vinifm: using sunxi-tools' pio
<vinifm> hm
<mnemoc> even if it's a niche, as the hdmi stick market grows, a "lapdock" with full size female hdmi/usb and good screen doesn't need to be "dirty cheap" to be a good business
<Turl> this gpio talk reminds me of something
<Turl> mripard: ping
<hramrach> isn't that called TV?
<mnemoc> hramrach: TVs don't have battery, usb hub, keyboard, and are usually larger that 13"
<hramrach> meh, there is lack of TVs smaller than 30"
<buZz> Turl: i hate that exactly
<buZz> lol
<buZz> i HAVE that
<buZz> :P
<mnemoc> 7" screens are absurdly overpriced
<mnemoc> 10-13" don't exist
<hramrach> they are still screens
<hramrach> yeah, 7" TVs
<hramrach> but have no io
<hramrach> so useless at any price
<mnemoc> it should be pretty easy to make a good lapdock
<buZz> even without a docking board, lapdock is a portable HDMI screen with its own battery
<mnemoc> buZz: that shuts you down when you close the lid :<
<buZz> hehe, easy to mod to not let that happen
<hramrach> that's model specific
<buZz> well mine at least, it needs GND on some pin on the HDMI connector to turn on
<hramrach> let Chinese make some lapdock clones that actually work
<mnemoc> chinese don't care about niche products
<hramrach> are HDMI sticks mainstream?
<buZz> yes
<hramrach> I don't know anybody who usees them for anything but Linux development
<buZz> i discovered my mom uses one :O
<hramrach> ;-)
<buZz> rockchip though :(
<mnemoc> .cn manufacturers don't even do netbooks anymore.... they do tablets + usb keyboards
<hramrach> it's better than netbook in any possible way you can think of
<buZz> i dont understand why the 'market' stopped making netbooks
<buZz> in favor of ultrabooks
<buZz> that ARENT SELLING
<buZz> its insane
<hramrach> because netbooks are dead
<buZz> how so? i still know a lot of happy netbook users
<hramrach> but how many people would buy one *new*?
<mnemoc> the exynos chromebook shows the oposite
<hramrach> it's different from the previous netbooks
<hramrach> and it's made by google
<buZz> hramrach: i think many people that have one now are disappointed that they cant buy a new one
<hramrach> like 2/3 their projects fail and they don't care
<hramrach> yes but the netbooks do not break all at once. no new customers. replacements are not that big business
<hramrach> and there are some netbooks still. jsut not that much choice anymore
<mnemoc> so, who's in .cn and can make a kickstarter/indiegogo for a good generic lapdock? :)
<hramrach> suggest it as an 'add mobility to your HDMI stick' accessory
<hramrach> maybe some of the stick makers jumps on it
<hramrach> most likely not because they do not speak English
<mnemoc> even dell announced an stick
<hramrach> then it's mainstream for sure ;-)
<mnemoc> hramrach: that's why we need a western living in .cn :)
<mnemoc> but at this hour they are sleeping :p
<specing> The chinese ever sleep?
<specing> :O
<mnemoc> the westerns do :p

<Turl> something like a lapdock with a fruitstand on the back
<hramrach> I am not sure Tom is up to another project at this point but does not hurt asking ;-)

<buZz> NOT A FRUITSTAND
<buZz> PLEASE, GOD, NOT A FRUITSTAND
<hramrach> hehehehe
<buZz> ah, it will not be succesfull \o/
<buZz> really man, 33 dollar for 3 pieces of acrylic
<buZz> that should NOT get funding
<hramrach> that's the thing with acrylic
<hramrach> the stuff is almost free
<buZz> yeah indeed
<buZz> i really oppose the fruitstand for this matter
<hramrach> but geting it in the right shape is hard. expensive machinery required
<buZz> lasercutters are so cheap in use
<buZz> soooon our local fablab will have a lasercutter
<hramrach> I did not try to buy one
<buZz> then -> lasercut all the things!
<hramrach> but given that not every lab has one I guess they don't just grow on trees
<buZz> hrhr
<buZz> i had an offer to buy one from .cn
<buZz> just 600 usd incl shipping to .nl
Dave77 has joined #arm-netbook
<hramrach> that's not that cheap
<hramrach> how many fruitstands would you ahve to make to pay for the cutter and make them reasonable price?
<buZz> its cheaper than what they cost in the UK
<buZz> over 1000 euros
<buZz> lol no idea
<buZz> was that the motivation of the fruitstand?
vinifm has quit [Read error: Connection timed out]
vinifm has joined #arm-netbook
<hramrach> the motivation as I read is to purchase the cutter for making the stands
<buZz> right
<buZz> does kickstarter require pledges to be paid, even if funding is not reached?
<hramrach> I don't think so
<hramrach> it just returns the money
<buZz> ah, too bad for him :D
<mnemoc> where is hansg?? :<
<buZz> somewhere in .nl ;) i think
<mnemoc> :)

<vinifm> 1 more thing, i run ./pio in A13 or PC?
<WarheadsSE> so whos is responsible for this? //github.com/ssvb/xf86-video-sunxifb
<mnemoc> WarheadsSE: ssvb
<WarheadsSE> ssvb: indeed.
<mnemoc> vinifm: A13, with -m as arg. to use /dev/mem
<WarheadsSE> might be able to package that..
<mnemoc> :)
<vinifm> thanks, I was very confused, because fex2bin i run in PC... :)
<mnemoc> pio can be run from the "PC" too, but using FEL dumps
<WarheadsSE> mnemoc: what do you know of that xf86, is it essentially a replacement for the -mali's?

freakazoid0223 has quit [Quit: Leaving]
<mnemoc> WarheadsSE: yes. but it still doesn't accelerate anything. it "only" works as fb driver and interfaces with the mali blob
<WarheadsSE> okay
<ssvb> WarheadsSE: I would say it's a rather experimental release right now, but I would like people to test it themselves and report bugs if something is wrong
<WarheadsSE> I need to make a package because I know the moment people see oooh updated A10 .. they will be all "BUT WHUCH VODEO"
<WarheadsSE> (intentionally misspelled)
ZaEarl has quit [Ping timeout: 255 seconds]
<WarheadsSE> ssvb: if you can ever get me a list of it's needs, I will try to package this up, mark it as testing :)
<mnemoc> that will catch some attention :)
<Turl> mnemoc: does it require that weird allwinner usb module on the pc?
<Turl> (pio)
<mnemoc> Turl: no. pio uses /dev/mem or a register dump
<mnemoc> Turl: and fel uses libusb, no funky usb module
<Turl> so I cannot toggle pins "live" from the pc with fel?
<mnemoc> you do. but without a running OS
<mnemoc> fel to dump the register, pio to "adjust" it, fel to write the reigster back
<mnemoc> there is a gpio helper in sunxi-tools to easy to scripting of tests
<ssvb> WarheadsSE: the same dependencies as http://linux-sunxi.org/Mali400
<ssvb> WarheadsSE: you can also have a look at https://github.com/ssvb/gentoo-overlay-sunxi-x11
<WarheadsSE> i'll just.. not
<WarheadsSE> I can probably port these mostly directly.

<mnemoc> BuildingOnFoo is basically what do you need on your Foo host to compile stuff
<Turl> mnemoc: nice, got the green and blue leds lit :)
<mnemoc> \o/
<mnemoc> Turl: send sunxi-boards patches :)
<Turl> mnemoc: for what?
<Turl> I used the gpio helper :P
<mnemoc> board.fex
<mnemoc> :<
<mnemoc> ok
<mnemoc> i thought you were using the leds driver
<Turl> nope
<Turl> I wanted to see if I could get gpio working on mainline
<Turl> as far as I saw mripard's patches were sun5i-only
<hramrach> the leds framework is junk
<hramrach> it needs at the very least an aggregator (or) and invertor (not)
<mnemoc> Turl: sun4i and sun5i have the same port controller
<traeak> WarheadsSE: what's different witht the new arch kernel?
<hramrach> and I wonder where that cpu led trigger went
<WarheadsSE> traeak: it's up to date ;P
<Turl> mnemoc: weren't the pin definitions and muxing different?
<mnemoc> Turl: yes, but that is .dtsi stuff, not .c
<mnemoc> Turl: ow. ok
<mnemoc> that will need to be replicate for the other SoCs
<Turl> yes, that was my guess
vinifm has quit [Quit: Saindo]
<mnemoc> don't know why mripard wants to be that specific about the pins instead of "in the holy device tree we trust"
<Turl> the c code defines the various functions too
