Wizzup: nice, another picture of a swollen chromebook battery there :) so I was not the only one to have this problem
<Wizzup>
yeah
<ssvb>
still I don't quite understand what was their problem with odroids
<ssvb>
they mention sd card issues and presume that the problems are heat related
<ssvb>
but if they are using sd cards for the rootfs, then they are likely just reaching the erase cycle limits by nonstop reading/writing too much
<swabbles>
Wizzup: new day, new insights.
<Wizzup>
swabbles: Ah?
<swabbles>
I think the kernel is just fine, except that we can't set the rootfs yet (for which we want nv u-boot or abuse the environment of the default u-boot).
<Wizzup>
ssvb: I also blamed sd cards for my cubie2 failing, but I'm thinking that may not be the case -- I find that the IO mostly just halts/stops, but i'm not ready to blame the sd card because it is new and works in other devices
<Wizzup>
but I think this may be the memory clock etc. being too high on cubie2
<Wizzup>
I'll try that later
<swabbles>
But I suspect the nv u-boot binaries on the website are simplefb ones for some reason.
<Wizzup>
anyway </offtopic>
<Wizzup>
swabbles: :-)
<swabbles>
Which may explain why it isn't working.
<swabbles>
But the thing I don't understand is why do they create an entire flash map image.
<swabbles>
To later just extract the U-Boot part (which is either u-boot.bin or u-boot.bin + fdt).
<swabbles>
Because wrapping up u-boot.bin and signing the image doesn't seem to work :/.

ssvb: this is why we use USB3 -> SATA to SSDs for our farm full of XUs
<WarheadsSE>
we've gone through 4 models to find an adapter** that wouldn't overheat
<ssvb>
WarheadsSE: that's interesting, which adapter ended up being the best?
<ssvb>
WarheadsSE: currently I use a buffalo ministation usb3 hard drive with my chromebook, did not have any problems with it yet
<ssvb>
WarheadsSE: but it is not stressed 24/7, so this does not really mean anything :)

Going to try emerging the bootimage stuff using a chromium dev environment.
<swabbles>
I'm wondering if I can reproduce a working nv u-boot.

robclark: how close is the stiH41x to the av8100 on the old STEricsson U8500 SoC?
<RSpliet>
oh wait
<RSpliet>
not your driver :p
<robclark>
RSpliet, no idea.. probably ask benjiG ;-)
