Hello?
03:53
<
qwebirc27384 >
I am here about unbricking my Ben Nanonote
03:54
<
qwebirc27384 >
Anyone here?
03:59
<
wolfspraul >
hey :-)
04:00
<
wolfspraul >
that was too quick...
04:11
<
zrafa >
wolfspraul: is that nick something known..? I have read that prefix "qwebirc" several times
04:11
<
wolfspraul >
that's from people that come in over freenode's web chat
04:11
<
wolfspraul >
and the url we have in the /webchat redirect it to use an 'auto-nick'
04:11
<
wolfspraul >
you can try :-)
04:12
<
zrafa >
ah.. okey :)
04:12
<
wolfspraul >
maybe we should remove the auto-nick
04:12
<
wolfspraul >
because people have to enter the captcha anyway, they may also enter a nick for themselves
04:12
<
wolfspraul >
but the less they have to enter the better I think
04:12
<
wolfspraul >
well, we try to bring people together, not so easy
04:12
<
wolfspraul >
many of the webchat guys may have never been in an irc group before and don't know the customs
04:12
<
wolfspraul >
that's the same
04:13
<
zrafa >
I do not know which is the panic for that people who say "hello" and then after one minute without answers they run :)
04:15
<
zrafa >
I suppose that something similar with me before to ask mailing list something I do not understand. It takes me several days or weeks before I am confident to ask
04:36
<
wolfspraul >
they just don't know. need to find ways to explain this better, maybe some chat client I install on the Qi server, don't know.

Hello?
22:36
<
qwebirc46206 >
I am here about unbricking my Ben Nanonote
22:36
<
qwebirc46206 >
this is Cenobyte
22:38
<
qwebirc46206 >
I guess I'll wait a while...
22:38
<
kristianpaul >
Hello
22:38
<
kristianpaul >
When your power up yout nanonote you got a message or just blank screen?
22:40
<
qwebirc46206 >
blank screen
22:40
<
kristianpaul >
ok do you remenber the rubber thing came within the nanonote box?
22:41
<
kristianpaul >
The idea to follow is first got usb boot mode
22:41
<
kristianpaul >
Then reflash
22:41
<
kristianpaul >
okay?
22:41
<
qwebirc46206 >
i have gone to usb mode or at least tried with power+U key
22:41
<
qwebirc46206 >
nothing shows on lsusb
22:42
<
qwebirc46206 >
usbboot complains no xburst device found
22:42
<
kristianpaul >
power+U works when you have uboot wich is a software can be damaghe
22:42
<
kristianpaul >
damaged*
22:42
<
kristianpaul >
when this happen you got that blank screen
22:42
<
kristianpaul >
but no panic
22:42
<
qwebirc46206 >
ok so the hardware way is fool proof?
22:42
<
qwebirc46206 >
what if I lost the rubber thing?
22:42
<
kristianpaul >
you can still boot by shorting the usb boot pinds
22:43
<
kristianpaul >
pins**
22:43
<
kristianpaul >
please remove your battery
22:43
<
qwebirc46206 >
with what though?
22:43
<
kristianpaul >
battery out as when you do on you cellphone  i guess :)
22:44
<
qwebirc46206 >
the battery is out
22:44
<
kristianpaul >
good, do you see the the two usb boot pins?
22:45
<
kristianpaul >
The idea is to short then with the carbonized rubber button
22:45
<
qwebirc46206 >
does short mean connect?
22:45
<
kristianpaul >
yes in some manner :)
22:46
<
qwebirc46206 >
so would a strip of foil work too?
22:46
<
kristianpaul >
it
*could* but the rubber thing is more effective
22:46
<
qwebirc46206 >
ok i'll try to find it
22:46
<
kristianpaul >
you said you still having it isnt?
22:46
<
kristianpaul >
please
22:47
<
qwebirc46206 >
ya i hope i have it...
22:47
<
kristianpaul >
i personally use my screwdriver, but because i feel confident with
22:48
<
kristianpaul >
qwebirc46206: if you
22:48
<
kristianpaul >
dont if it, we could try with a paper clip perhaps
22:49
<
kristianpaul >
s/if/have
22:51
<
qwebirc46206 >
ok i found it
22:51
<
qwebirc46206 >
right in my box of old cpu's
22:52
<
kristianpaul >
good
22:52
<
kristianpaul >
please in a seperate terminal run watch lsusb (in case you havent)
22:52
<
kristianpaul >
now lets first with the nanonote unpluged use the rubber thing and push on the boot usb pins
22:52
<
kristianpaul >
then connect the usb cable
22:53
<
kristianpaul >
then the lsusb output will now show a line with 601a:4740 if all wen ok
22:53
<
kristianpaul >
wenT
22:54
<
qwebirc46206 >
ok great it did
22:55
<
qwebirc46206 >
it was a simple problem
22:55
<
qwebirc46206 >
I did not know that power+U was software
22:55
<
qwebirc46206 >
now I can just reflash again, right?
22:57
<
qwebirc46206 >
hello?
22:57
<
kristianpaul >
hello !
22:57
<
kristianpaul >
go ahead
22:58
<
qwebirc46206 >
just curious, what do you run on your nano?
22:58
<
kristianpaul >
yes power+U is handled by uBoot
22:58
<
kristianpaul >
i like gmu, i use it for connect to servers and transfer files
22:59
<
qwebirc46206 >
so you use openwrt
22:59
<
kristianpaul >
yes i do
22:59
<
kristianpaul >
i also use elinks
22:59
<
kristianpaul >
i have several docs in html
22:59
<
qwebirc46206 >
I'm looking to run Debian
22:59
<
kristianpaul >
and mplayer
22:59
<
kristianpaul >
will be cool, if got at least framebuffer to work
23:00
<
qwebirc46206 >
I am looking at another project openzipit
23:00
<
kristianpaul >
i do use mathomatic too
23:00
<
qwebirc46206 >
which I call the nanonote's evil twin
23:00
<
kristianpaul >
btw are you running reflash script?
23:00
<
qwebirc46206 >
no, I do it by hand
23:00
<
kristianpaul >
as you wish :=
23:01
<
qwebirc46206 >
it never seems to work at least for me
23:01
<
kristianpaul >
may be using wrong offsets for when writing to flash?
23:01
<
qwebirc46206 >
so if this happens again, I just bust out that little rubber, right?
23:01
<
qwebirc46206 >
theoretically the nano is unbrickable?
23:02
<
qwebirc46206 >
well i may build a custom kernel
23:02
<
kristianpaul >
there is even a jtag some wher i remenber
23:02
<
qwebirc46206 >
i was told i would at least have to modify one
23:03
<
qwebirc46206 >
for soft-float
23:03
<
kristianpaul >
