The name of the .ubi file on EXT2 must be rootfs.ubi?
<xiangfu>
NaotoHanato, you need use the tgz file not .ubi file. mount your sd card to your system . use "tar zxvf -C /PATH/TO/sd_card_partitons_2/" to extra the rootfs files.
<vegyraupe>
xiangfu: which button to press for sd boot?
<vegyraupe>
xiangfu: and can you note all the available commmands in the wiki somewhere?
<tuxbrain>
but remember you only have usb device not host
<gnufs>
right
<tuxbrain>
you can operate with serial manwhile ussing ssh
<tuxbrain>
:)
<gnufs>
oh
<gnufs>
you read my mind, sir!
<tuxbrain>
In fact I do all test before the video this way :)
<gnufs>
tuxbrain: do you by any chance sell this usb-to-serial cable by any chance? (and if you do, would it be possible to add it to an order i placed last night? :D)
<wolfspraul>
tuxbrain: some video feedback: first a stand, maybe a stand would make a big difference
<tuxbrain>
sorry I don't have this product in catalog,
<wolfspraul>
if you are doing more promotional videos in the future :-)
<tuxbrain>
wolfspraul: you mean a tripod?
<wolfspraul>
yes, sorry
<wolfspraul>
tripod
<wolfspraul>
then for some reason the screen contents seem not in focus, strange
<wolfspraul>
does your camera support focus change while shooting?
<tuxbrain>
I had one but broke last week
<wolfspraul>
unfortunately that's the one important thing my little Canon is missing. once I start shooting a video the focus is fixed.
<wolfspraul>
also, I notice that the screen is too bright. do we support brightness change in software on the Ben NanoNote? I don't even know...
<wolfspraul>
if we do, would be cool if we had a way to increase/decrease brightness
<larsc>
we could, but we don't do
<wolfspraul>
he OK. I will write it up as an issue, at least we remember it's theoretically possible... thanks!
<tuxbrain>
the one I used not, just automatic focus but next one I will try with the one I bring to events, is bigger and to usit with one hand is very unconfortable
<larsc>
wolfspraul: we could change the lcd color brightness. but not the backlight brightness
<tuxbrain>
I will try to find a tripod nest time
<tuxbrain>
next time sorry
<tuxbrain>
wolfspraul: also I will arrange little bit the ambient light so the contrast is not so high on  screen
<gnufs>
has anyone figured out a way to use an external usb or ps/2 keyboard with nanonote yet?
<gnufs>
i can imagine a few attack vectors but wouldn't wanna repeat what anybody else has done
<wolfspraul>
if lars says it should work that's encourating, I understand we have tons of details everywhere but at least it's written up so we won't forget and can track it...
<tuxbrain>
maybe a serial keyboard, they exist once upon a time ....
<wolfspraul>
s/encourating/encouraging/
<wolfspraul>
tuxbrain: which software do you use for video post-processing?
<wolfspraul>
like for example to format the text into it?
<tuxbrain>
wolfspraul: kino
<tuxbrain>
to render the text I use the titler plugin
<tuxbrain>
to embed images superimpose plugin
<wolfspraul>
interesting
<wolfspraul>
never done that
<tuxbrain>
the only thing you must be carefull is that one rederend there in no undo option, so better check on the preview you achive the right effect
<wolfspraul>
I am planning to buy an Elphel camera soon
<tuxbrain>
wow
<wolfspraul>
I am sure in terms of productivity that will throw me way back, but in terms of fun it should be nice! :-)
<tuxbrain>
feels the envy rolling in my veins
<wolfspraul>
once I have that little thing I will spend some more time to learn about effective post-processing
<jluis>
tuxbrain: where is the video
<wolfspraul>
tuxbrain: I plan to visit them soon. Many things to learn...
<kristianpaul>
gnufs: hey good see you here, and more people supporting copyleft hardware with nanonote :)
<NaotoHanato>
I need an advice. Want to connect a led to BNN and then drive it on Linux. I see that U11 (SCIC) chip wasn't included in the board so I was wondering if I can connect a LED between GND and SCL or SDA. Will that configuration work?
<larsc>
should work, i guess
<NaotoHanato>
Next question is about the .ko (driver). Any ideas to start making this?
<larsc>
a driver to controll the leds?
<NaotoHanato>
mmm... Yeah, that LED between GND and SCL.
<NaotoHanato>
SCL=GPC8
<larsc>
to test whether it is working you can simply do (cd /sys/class/gpio; echo 72 > export; echo out > gpio72/direction; echo 1 > gpio72/value)
<larsc>
if you want to register the leds as a led device you should use the leds_gpio platform driver
<larsc>
as an example how to use it you can take a look at arch/mips/jz4740/board-n516.c
<NaotoHanato>
Great. I'll give it a try. Thanks for your help.
<NaotoHanato>
Using GND and SCL the LED=1 is on boot. I typed -> cd /sys/class/gpio; echo 72 and the result was: there's no gpio on /sys/class/
<NaotoHanato>
*I mean the LED is on when booting.
<NaotoHanato>
And after boot too. Always on.
<mth>
NaotoHanato: the "GPIO_SYSFS" option must be on in the kernel config to enable the gpio directory in /sys
<NaotoHanato>
Can be done using make menuconfig?
<larsc>
make kernel_menuconfig
<qwebirc21264>
hi
<larsc>
hello qwebirc21264
<qwebirc21264>
i want some help please
<qwebirc21264>
any one can help me
<kristianpaul>
can i update an already clonned git directory?
<kristianpaul>
qwebirc21264: go ahead, what is your problemn?
<larsc>
kristianpaul: yes `git pull`
<kristianpaul>
ok thanks
<qwebirc21264>
ok i want to design my own image for iq and i dont know anything about how to do so ,where should i start
<larsc>
mmc rates are down to 1.5MB/s instead of 4.0MB/s
<larsc>
and the display clock is running why to slow
<larsc>
s/why/way/
<NaotoHanato>
mmm... No positive result. I wonder now what is wrong. Seems extrange that when I power on the BNN the LED remain a little on, then if you type "clear" on screen the LED turn off completely.
<NaotoHanato>
Using GND and SCL (GPC8)
<NaotoHanato>
*I mean strange.
<larsc>
hum
<larsc>
could it be that the output is configured as lcd pin?
<NaotoHanato>
mmm... What should I try next...
<larsc>
hm... uboot configures it as a lcd pin
<NaotoHanato>
SDA (GPC9) too?
<larsc>
yes
<NaotoHanato>
:(
<larsc>
give me a moment. i'm writing a patch
<qwebirc56366>
hi there
<tuxbrain>
hi fx
<the_fixou>
hi tuxbrain
<the_fixou>
just receive my nano today
<tuxbrain>
:)
<the_fixou>
yep looks great
<tuxbrain>
reflash it with last image and will be even better :)
<tuxbrain>
NaotoHanato: I'm interested in your evolution in led if I'm not arround here please send me a mail with your success, some howto will be awesome to have too :)
