06:13 <visitor-14524> Hmh.... and there's really no open-source version of that rk29xxnand.ko or rk30xxnand.ko module.... Puts a serious crimp in my plans to use a kernel newer than 3.0.x :(

06:14 <lautriv_> anyone aware of an alternative download for linuxium's bin.7z ?

06:26 <sjoerd> visitor-14524: no the nand FTL layer is rather closed

06:27 <sjoerd> visitor-14524: maybe the one(s) for iirc 3.10 for rk3288 work for you ?

06:29 <sjoerd> lautriv_: Heh, generally you want to look at the upstream situation before buying hardware :) For rk3288 u-boot/kernel are shaping up nicely, rk3188 is somewhat behind (though doing the first step on getting u-boot on that in principle shouldn't be too hard)

06:30 <sjoerd> lautriv_: you can use the vendor u-boot to boot rk3188 from SD card though

06:31 <lautriv_> sjoerd, i looked at the hardware while getting stuff, want cortex-a9 because compatibility to other arms. did not see any vendor-stuff so far.

06:32 <sjoerd> the cpu tedns to be one of the least important parts though ;)

06:33 <lautriv_> since the propietary stuff is about hardware-init, i doubt that.

06:34 <sjoerd> ?

06:34 <sjoerd> the rk3188 init tries SD first

06:35 <lautriv_> sjoerd, so either my box is different or i missed something. link to assumed details handy ?

06:36 <sjoerd> Well what did you put on your SD card to make it boot form that ?

06:38 <lautriv_> i had a stick with the 3188 which was prepared, that one got problems on early init (DDR init failed) and i used the SD on this TV-Box.

06:39 <sjoerd> Unfortunaly i don't know your hardware nor what you prepared for it, all i can tell you my 3188 board here happily boots from SD

06:41 <lautriv_> sjoerd, link to howto , maybe different to my first ?

06:45 <sjoerd> http://radxa.com/Rock/U-Boot should work generally for rk3188 device

06:50 <lautriv_> sjoerd, i guess that was the one from the pas, maybe the SD got truncated ...

06:50 <sjoerd> worth double-checking, these things can be subtle

06:51 <visitor-14524> Will have a look, in any case. I got the display, the touchscreen and I _think_ the SD card working. The heck, I won't be stopped by the nand not working, not anymore.

07:01 <naobsd> proprietary loader can be used for SD boot too

07:15 <visitor-14524> naobsd: I did read about that - needs much preparation on the SDCard's behalf. Right now for testing purposes I'm okay with putting kernel and ramdisk on NAND and the root file system, once I go beyond a recovery image - on SD.

07:22 <naobsd> visitor-14524: sorry, what I mentioned was for lautriv__ and sjoerd

07:24 <visitor-14524> np. Guess it just happened that my situation is similar enough...

07:51 <rperier> hi all

07:51 <rperier> what's up ? :)

07:52 <rperier> like a monday for me :(
