02:14 <TomTheDragon> willmore: I got a Bittboy V3.5. I'm hoping to at least be able to handle GB/GBC/NES. Anything more is great, though pretty sure the firmware does NOT use X11.

10:18 <damex> https://linux-sunxi.org/How_to_boot_the_A10_or_A20_over_the_network is there a way to boot h5 or any other board from network without manually specifying commands? let's say i have tftp+nfs (for root) working and board could always get an address from dhcp.

10:19 <damex> let's say i would want to keep 'just uboot' on sdcard and the rest somewhere remote

10:23 <damex> lots of examples online and all exect you to configure 'boot environment manually' maybe i can do it by pulling that configuration from tftp?

10:31 <mru> network boot with u-boot works pretty much the same on all systems

10:32 <mru> you can get away with very little u-boot setup if the dhcp server provides the necessary information

10:33 <mru> it really comes down to which you'd rather configure, u-boot or dhcpd

10:35 <damex> mru: i'd rather configure dhcpd since it will be central for all boards.

10:36 <karlp> you still need to configure uboot to use the dhcp provided options for your boot script anyway ?

10:36 <mru> are you using the usual ISC dhcpd?

10:36 <damex> mru: dnsmasq actually.

10:36 <damex> provides tftp and dhcp

10:37 <damex> well, it works for raspberry pis :)

10:37 <karlp> what does "works for raspberry pis" mean?

10:37 <mru> with dhcpd I set the next-server, filename, and root-path options

10:37 <damex> karlp: netboot. dnsmasq serving tftp + dhcp

10:38 <karlp> damex: yes, and it iwll for your allwinner boards too

10:38 <mru> then a generic u-boot config can find what it needs

10:38 <damex> i just wanted to make sure that we won't go 'blame dnsmasq' route

10:38 <karlp> no, just changes how you set the options

10:38 <damex> everyone at some point tend to blame that poor service

10:38 * karlp shrugs, works well, used everywhere.

10:39 <mru> you want to use the kernel's dhcp feature too

10:49 <damex> mru: what part is needed to be done for uboot itself ?

10:49 <damex> > you can get away with very little u-boot setup

10:49 concept10 has joined #linux-sunxi

10:49 <mru> you have to tell it to use dhcp and tftp somehow

10:50 <mru> then it will get ip addresses and filenames from the dhcp server

10:50 <mru> so you can use the same u-boot config on many boards

18:43 <TomTheDragon> surprising given the extreme low specs, but then again there are still NES developers and the specs on those systems make Bittboy look like a supercomputer

19:16 <willmore> TomTheDragon, this is the firmware I use on mine. I bought it pre-release and got a discount. I looked a bit later and they had gone up in price and were getting hard to find. Guess they were popular. https://jutleys.wixsite.com/bittboynew4u/post/cfw-guide-for-v2-bittboy-only

19:21 <TomTheDragon> willmore: oh, I saw that site, my browser hates it for some reason.

19:22 <TomTheDragon> willmore: looks like they're available for around $29.99

19:26 <willmore> TomTheDragon, it's a wix site, so, it's pretty horrible.

19:27 <willmore> TomTheDragon, if you're looking for a really good handheld, have you looked at the Odroid-GO advanced?

19:27 warpme_ has joined #linux-sunxi

19:28 <willmore> No longer Allwinner, though. Head over to #odroid if you're interested in it, no reason to be that OT here.

19:32 <TomTheDragon> willmore: bittboy v3.5 is *not* allwinner? I thought it was Allwinner F1C500S

19:35 <TomTheDragon> oh, I misread. I see.
