21:30 <mripard> topi`: no reason, no one ever sent a patch for it

22:08 <iuno> Hi, I'm not very experienced in something like this and maybe have some stupid questions, so sorry for that.

22:09 <iuno> I'm trying to run arch on cubietruck with a self compiled kernel, following the wiki articles about manual building, mainline kernels and u-boot. I managed to get the board booting but I have no output on the monitor. Is this even possible without mali driver? Also, I can't connect to network. I have no UART cable right now, so I typed blindly and wrote some outputs to files (e.g. dmesg, ifconfig)

22:10 <iuno> reading the files from sd card, I found out that the interface eth0 is there and also the ip address gets assigned but it does not connect in fact. dmesg shows timeouts about emac, but I actually disabled emac and enabled gmac in the kernel config

22:10 <bonbons> iuno: in mainine kernels there is no display driver (yet), so you need UART or working network

22:11 <iuno> I used a static kernel, compiling gmac not as module btw

22:11 <bonbons> or you could do with a USB-HDMI adapter and use corresponding KMS driver ;)

22:12 <iuno> bonbons: thanks, I guess I'll just wait for a UART cable to arrive or go on trying with the network. Do you have any tips for that?

22:12 <beboom> bonbons: do you know if is it possible to boot from nand instead of MMC ?

22:13 <iuno> beboom: it is possible for cubietruck (a20), don't know your device

22:13 <beboom> a10s

22:14 <bonbons> beboom: last I read on mailing list there are patches floating around to accessing nand but with caveats. So it's try and see/fail to boot from MMC with mainline

22:14 <bonbons> s/MMC/nand ;)

22:14 <beboom> bonbons: can u-boot recognize the NAND ?

22:15 <beboom> do you know how to configure that ?

22:15 <beboom> i tried put my own uImage, but seems to be ignored by u-boot...

22:15 <beboom> Always boot the standard android :(

22:16 <bonbons> can't tell for sure, but vanilla mainline uboot doesn't unless I missed something recent

22:17 <bonbons> iuno: network works fine here though lossy TX when running at gigabit speed

22:17 <beboom> do you know where i can find these patches you said ?

22:17 <bonbons> iuno: but make sure you have a MAC address configured in uboot or you network scripts!

22:18 <bonbons> beboom: dig around on sunxi mailing list

22:18 <iuno> bonbons: well I guess I missed that point, thank you. anyways, ifconfig showed a mac adress

22:19 <beboom> bonbons: I will try to patch the uboot and see if it can boot my A10s from NAND. Thank you very much !

22:23 <iuno> bonbons: from dmesg: sunxi_emac Using MAC from SID: 02:c5...

22:25 <bonbons> iuno: here it's saying only: stmmaceth - in my config: CONFIG_SUN4I_EMAC=y, CONFIG_STMMAC_ETH=y, CONFIG_STMMAC_PLATFORM=y, CONFIG_DWMAC_SUNXI=y

22:26 <bonbons> so looks like either you have some rather different (mainline) kernel version than I or you have not selected the right options for gmac. I'm on 3.17.2

22:29 <iuno> CONFIG_SUN4I_EMAC is not set, I have the same for the rest, didn't know it was required for gmac?

22:32 <iuno> I've got to try again tomorrow, time to sleep ;) thank you very much for your help
