I changed some settings by hand, but for the wireless drivers I worry that some options wont appear without enabling one first... you get the idea ..

dob1: No, it's for the clock so that the time is kept even if you shutdown the thing.
<dob1>
FR^2, so it's optional, i can sync the time with ntp at boot I think

hipboi used to work for cubietech, didnt he?

alright :) tnx
<mnemoc>
and benn is now in charge of cubietech
<buZz>
> can be expected that Cubieboard 8 will be available for the end sales in mid- June
<buZz>
so i guess i should just stop looking for 2 weeks ;)
<mnemoc>
depends on allwinner
kivutar has joined #cubieboard
<mnemoc>
they still don't give any detail to device manufacturers. oth cubietech did the optimus board for aw. so they are by definition ahead of everyone else regarding independent boards
<mnemoc>
even something as simple as "does it support sata" or "are all usbc usb3.0 capable or only the OTG?" can't be answered :\
<buZz>
yeah its a drag
<buZz>
maybe we can just start allwinner europe and do their techsupport
<buZz>
:P
<buZz>
pull a reverse india on china
<Midnightmyth>
So actually freescale is an better alternative in terms of everything related to allwinner
<mnemoc>
except that the imx6 is crap, the imx7 product line was killed, and the imx8 is a corporate masturbation
<buZz>
does freescale have accelerated video decoding?
<mnemoc>
and vivante code is even worse than allwinner's
<mnemoc>
buZz: yes
<mnemoc>
but cedarx kicks it ass

Meh seems like no arm boards are worth buying...
<buZz>
heh ok
<buZz>
Midnightmyth: they are developmentboards
<buZz>
not consumer products
<Midnightmyth>
Still what is the point of developing.. if you cant get access to the info you need
<buZz>
availability
<mnemoc>
Midnightmyth: the cubietruck is great, and also the olinuxinos
<Midnightmyth>
mnemoc: I just wish allwinner was more cooporative in regards to making it easier to actually use thier products
<ssvb>
Midnightmyth: the point is that you can get a lot of fun hacking the things like XBMC code, basically all these devices are nothing else but toys for geeks :)
<mnemoc>
but we don't drive their sales :p
<Midnightmyth>
I know and I want to use one as a toy as well. .. just dont want to run into hardware problems so I cant get started
<mnemoc>
allwinner' sales I mean
<mnemoc>
Midnightmyth: you won't run on any serious problem picking the CT
<mnemoc>
and you can decode 1080p fluently with 100% free software
<mnemoc>
no other arm platform can offer that
<mnemoc>
and if you want OSHW, you have olimex's
