<shineworld>
so is good to use a pre-made board like cubieboard for test and prototypes
<shineworld>
the programs are Android based so I can fastly switch to any other platform
<shineworld>
I'm also using some wandboard imx6 based boards
<shineworld>
the linux-sunxi community is better than imx6 at moment but the allwinner chip are so poor of informations and use old technology
<eagles0513875>
ya shineworld im using the cubie2 for testing and development
<shineworld>
me too... good chip but compared to others....
<eagles0513875>
would love to take the cubie2 into production but it would need to have a real time clock
<shineworld>
me too...
<shineworld>
is my first "missing"
<shineworld>
an HMI can't be always net connected
<shineworld>
so I've to recover timer by PLC using a proprietary protocol
<shineworld>
blah....
<shineworld>
and I've got very great problems con Open Accessory Mode which doesn't work with any linux-sunxi kernel
<shineworld>
so I've used a PIC chip to simulate ADB client vs cubieboard to have RS232 output (android doesn't support natively that)
<shineworld>
I'm not so cutie to manage USB drivers and gadget

however I will keep my 8 CB1 and 2 CB2 for personal use when prototype time is finished
<shineworld>
surely leaving Android OS for linux ;)
<shineworld>
what I love of CB1 is, size, price, semplicity of design (project)....
<shineworld>
at IMO is a very breakthrough compared to rPI or others
<shineworld>
and I missing power
<eagles0513875>
shineworld: if you take a look at the site they clustered a number of them together using HADOOP
<shineworld>
I'm porting CB1 to RTEMS (RTEMS doesn't a SMP yet) and something already works
<eagles0513875>
has anyone in here used buildroot with their cubie?
<shineworld>
yes, I'm following them :)
<shineworld>
with A10 I'm able to do anything but with A20 the build (I mean android) isn't so clear
<eagles0513875>
shineworld: what exactly are you wanting to accomplish
<shineworld>
for job I need to have a "user friendly GUI interface, mostly based on android power, fastly porting to different devices, with capacitive touchscreen, big displays 10/21 inches, maxium 800x600 pixels to be read in industrial light conditions, connected to LAN, etc)
<shineworld>
for personal I would like to run a Real Time OS like RTEMS to play with some movement algo for interpolations
<shineworld>
and so on ;)
<shineworld>
and you ?
<eagles0513875>
shineworld: why not drop android and have it boot directly to the gui front end
<eagles0513875>
im working on a low cost point of sales system but for me whats missing on the cubie is a real time clock hence y im asking if they can do custom boards
<shineworld>
there are other A10 board makers which probably permit RTC battery (could be OLIMAX)
<eagles0513875>
think is i like what cubie has in terms of the case design and features for their board in terms of the bread board etc
<shineworld>
for me Android is a "must" because interface is very "friendly" and I don't need to reinvent the wheel
<eagles0513875>
shineworld: is privecy a must
<eagles0513875>
cuz google just admitted that gmail users have no privacy
<shineworld>
a program made for cubie could round same in a phone or tablet
<shineworld>
you can always use another email system than gmail
<shineworld>
and use pgp
<eagles0513875>
i have my own server for my business
<eagles0513875>
pgp isnt supported in gmail
<shineworld>
of course you can use another email program
<eagles0513875>
the thing is with pgp wont the other people i send to have a pgp key
<eagles0513875>
i have my own mail server so im going to switch to that
<shineworld>
you can't attach your public PGC to every email sent ?
<shineworld>
PGP
<shineworld>
otherwise you have to write a proprietary program to communicate (BAD)
<eagles0513875>
on gmail no
<shineworld>
gmail privacy is minus than 0
<osolus>
hey, I have an A10 board, it has a minimal arch linux installation and I want to know what to start reading on the subject of installing xorg or wayland or some xserver on it.
<eagles0513875>
osolus: you probably could just compile it on ur a10
kludge` has quit [Ping timeout: 264 seconds]
<shineworld>
so you build a proprietary gui for your POS systems (based on linxu)
<osolus>
I am concerned that configuring it will prove impossible.
<eagles0513875>
shineworld: open source POS system :D
<eagles0513875>
osolus: that sounds more of an arch question i dunno im new to all this embedded system stuff
<eagles0513875>
woot have my buildroot system being put on my microsd card
hht has joined #cubieboard
<shineworld>
I wrote my own buildroot for android and cb1 to put all on SD
<shineworld>
SD works better than nand

what bout on the a20
Freyr has joined #cubieboard
<shineworld>
I've used the pre-build android os on NAND
<shineworld>
just changed something in OS to meet my need and stored directly on NAND
<eagles0513875>
nice
<shineworld>
with SD I've got some problems on boot sometime
<eagles0513875>
i would think the nand would be faster then the sd
<shineworld>
Should be but boot time is faster on SD
<eagles0513875>
not sure how old ur sd card is it could be on the way out i would check it for bad sectors etc
<eagles0513875>
on what system ur a10 or a2
<shineworld>
I'm using only Samsung 16GB class 10
<shineworld>
and Kingstome 8GB class 10
<shineworld>
Kingstone
<eagles0513875>
odd im using samsung microsd 8gb
<shineworld>
I must admit that is strange... nand should be more fast but .....
<shineworld>
with NAND I boot in 28s and with SD I boot in 19s
<eagles0513875>
shineworld: im wondering depending how long you have had the boards, could they naturally slow down from the wear and tare?
<shineworld>
A10
<shineworld>
I don't know that .... reading times should don't change in time
<eagles0513875>
either that or you have the os tweaked on the SD card in such a way that it performs faster
<eagles0513875>
something there which is better optimized
<shineworld>
I've tried same OS in nand and SD
<shineworld>
same tweeks
<shineworld>
however boot is too long

shineworld: something doesnt sound right there
<eagles0513875>
anyway lunch time for me i sent the support team an email regarding custom board development
<shineworld>
some japanese guys are working on boot question obtaining very cool results... I hope google stay looking them and buy technology:
<eagles0513875>
anyway lunch time for me as i am famished
<shineworld>
In past cubietom say "I can do changes at requirements for some amount of boards" or a similary sentence
<shineworld>
11:51 also here
<eagles0513875>
ill be back a bit later

anyone avaliable to try and help me with a booting issue?
<Swat->
Sup?
<lookbehindu>
i just got a cubieboard 2.0
<lookbehindu>
it keeps getting stuck at the android screen, with or without an sd card in it
smccarthy has joined #cubieboard
ricardocrudo has quit [Ping timeout: 245 seconds]
<buZz>
lookbehindu: how long have you waited?
<buZz>
it takes a while to boot
<Swat->
lookbehindu: try it w/o the sd-card and wait for a bit.
<ki9a>
buZz: really? never? (xbmc)
<buZz>
yes quite possible
<lookbehindu>
i've let it run for about 10 minutes in both
<lookbehindu>
both == with or without the sd card
<buZz>
send allwinner email asking for detailed documentation for the cedarx interface
<buZz>
then XBMC is at all possible
<Swat->
lookbehindu: no other messages?
<lookbehindu>
it gets to the screen that says "android" and just stays there
<lookbehindu>
I'm guessing the android loading screen is a gif (or some animation) because that'll keep happening
<lookbehindu>
i've tried 3 different usb cables (one that came and 2 of mine)
<ki9a>
buZz: ah k.
<ki9a>
I'm trying to find a good base board for a mediaplayer with harddisk
<buZz>
xbox classic is nice
<buZz>
lookbehindu: connect uart cable and check the log
<lookbehindu>
im a little new, which one is the uart cable?
