01:48 <nvrpunk> what is that linaro-raring-alip image?

01:48 <nvrpunk> can I use that with a dd?

01:52 <nvrpunk> yeah im totally lost now

01:56 <tonikasch> sorry, can't help, don't know what image you are referring to... :(

02:10 <nvrpunk> tonikasch: well I have flashed the linux update, now I only have a single Boot partition it seems

02:10 <nvrpunk> i then flashed the kernel, the boot loader etc

02:10 <nvrpunk> i dont think its actually booting

02:10 <nvrpunk> the light stays red

02:11 <tonikasch> ahh, you are moving android-based kernel partition to linux-based kernel partition?

02:13 <nvrpunk> yes

02:13 <nvrpunk> so I only have a boot partition

02:13 <nvrpunk> i dont even know how to create the other ones

02:13 <nvrpunk> heh

02:15 <tonikasch> :?

02:16 <tonikasch> rkflashtool r 0 1 | head -n 11

02:17 <tonikasch> should list the partitions your device have when run from linux pc connected through usb cable to the radxa and radxa being in bootloader mode

02:18 <tonikasch> rkflashtool can be found at.... http://sourceforge.net/projects/rkflashtool/files/latest/download and must be built as per README instructions

02:19 <nvrpunk> i am using the upgrade tool

02:19 <nvrpunk> and getting parameter not found for linux only boot

02:19 <nvrpunk> hmm

02:20 <tonikasch> mmm, sorry, don't know the upgrade tool :(

02:56 <nelsot08> tonikasch: so I am now using the rkflashkit

02:56 <nelsot08> i see all my partitions

02:57 <tonikasch> :)

02:57 <nelsot08> i have loaded my boot.img in the boot partition

02:57 <nelsot08> my desktop image in the rootfs

02:57 <nelsot08> and i still get nothing :(

02:57 <nelsot08> just a red light

02:57 <tonikasch> ummm, just a minute

02:58 <nelsot08> the light should go blue, correct?

02:59 <tonikasch> don't remember, now working on different rk device

02:59 <tonikasch> http://www.cnx-software.com/2013/11/19/how-to-flash-rockchip-rk3066-rk3188-firmware-in-linux/ <-- a visual flashing tool for linux (using gtk, if I recall well) :)

02:59 <tonikasch> ahhh

02:59 <tonikasch> one sec

02:59 <tonikasch> wait

03:00 <tonikasch> where did you put your desktop image? in a partition on the device (nand) or in a sd card?

03:02 <nelsot08> in nand

03:02 <nelsot08> under linuxroot

03:03 <tonikasch> mmmm, not sure, but previously you had to 1st copy rootfs to sd, then make some changes to the kernel so it would boot from nand, and make image (mkbootimg) and flash it (rkflashtool), and then flash rootfs to nand by making a img and then flashing it to the correct partition

03:04 <tonikasch> don't know if new radxa images come prepared to switch to nand userspace

03:05 <nelsot08> hmm

03:07 <nelsot08> in the parameter files they have

03:07 <nelsot08> CMDLINE:console=ttyFIQ0,115200 console=tty0 root=/dev/block/mtd/by-name/linuxroot

03:08 <nelsot08> hmm

03:08 <nelsot08> ok yeah that would work as well

03:08 <nelsot08> so odd

03:08 <tonikasch> yes... that should work...

03:09 <tonikasch> nelsot08 I recommend you to connect to serial console and check what's happening, just in case that helps

03:26 <nelsot08> tonikasch: i dont have one

03:26 <nelsot08> :|

03:26 <nelsot08> haha

03:29 <tonikasch> mmmm, so I recommend it, a usb-ttl converter and 3 wires

03:30 <tonikasch> :)

03:47 <wulfmahn> What's the deal with upgrade_tool? I can't seem to run the professional commands, it always returns "command is invalid,please press upgrade_tool -h to check usage!". Example command: 'sudo ~/Linux_Upgrade_Tool/upgrade_tool rid'

03:51 <tonikasch> sorry, don't know

03:54 <nelsot08> tonikasch: I got the desktop up

03:54 <nelsot08> :)

03:55 <nelsot08> it doesnt detect the radxa

03:55 <nelsot08> you need to hold the left button and reset it

03:55 <nelsot08> then you have about 2 minutes to get going

03:55 <nelsot08> before it reboots

03:57 <tonikasch> ;)

03:57 <tonikasch> yeah, the recovery/bootloader button...

04:04 <nelsot08> if you follow the steps they posted and then uncompress the image to linuxroot using the rkflashkit it works

04:04 <nelsot08> you cannot use the update image

04:04 <nelsot08> that breaks the entire process

04:19 <wulfmahn> I switched over to rkflashkit but it only lists the "boot" partition and not the "linuxroot" one. The image I have on the board now is Ubuntu Server. Did I mess something up to not see the "linuxroot" partition in rkflashkit? Ubuntu Server boots up fine but I want to replace it with a custom boot.img and rootfs

04:27 <tonikasch> perhaps you should use rkflashtool just to list partitions with... rkflashtool r 0 1 | head -n 11

04:40 <wulfmahn> Where can I find rkflashtool?

04:44 <tonikasch> <tonikasch> rkflashtool can be found at.... http://sourceforge.net/projects/rkflashtool/files/latest/download and must be built as per README instructions

04:45 <tonikasch> google is your friend, btw :)

04:46 <wulfmahn> Thanks

04:47 <tonikasch> ;) np

05:03 <wulfmahn> rkflashtool works and I can see the address of "linuxroot"

05:05 <tonikasch> so... it might be a problem of rkflashkit, so if you want you can use rkflashkit, BUT be aware that if the CMDLINE appears to be, FOR EXAMPLE, mtdparts=rk29xxnand:0x00002000@0x00002000(misc),0x00008000@0x00004000(kernel),0x00008000@0x00012000(boot),0x00010000@0x00020000(recovery),0x00020000@0x00030000(backup),0x00040000@0x00050000(cache),0x00800000@0x00090000(userdata),0x00002000@0x00890000(kpanic),0x00130000@0x00892000(system),-@0x009c5000(user)

05:05 <tonikasch> then

05:05 <tonikasch> rkflashtool should be run with parameters swapped

05:05 <tonikasch> eg

05:05 <tonikasch> 0x00130000@0x00892000(system)

05:06 <tonikasch> rkflashtool w 0x00892000 0x00130000 < system.img

05:07 <nelsot08> wulfmahn:

05:07 <nelsot08> you can always do a low level format

05:07 <wulfmahn> This is what I got:

05:07 <wulfmahn> mtdparts=rk29xxnand:0x00008000@0x00002000(boot),-@0x0000A000(linuxroot)

05:07 <nelsot08> then do the bootloader

05:07 <nelsot08> etc

05:07 <nelsot08> and you will see the partitions

05:07 <nelsot08> after reboot

05:07 <tonikasch> :)

05:07 <nelsot08> do not use the update image

05:07 <nelsot08> or you will break it

05:08 <tonikasch> document if you can, I think there is a radxa wiki just for that ;)

05:10 <wulfmahn> Well, assuming if I don't do a low level format and instead I just try to use rkflashtool, what would I put for size for my "linuxroot"? It doesn't specify one in CMDLINE

05:13 <wulfmahn> Sorry, this is all new to me. Trying to wrap my head around it all

05:14 <tonikasch> well, it should be size in bytes of system.img to be flashed, and then convert that number to hexadecimal

05:14 <tonikasch> in fact, rkflashtool will give and error of end of file (with Fatal preceding it) but it's all ok

05:23 <wulfmahn> Thanks for all the help

05:23 <wulfmahn> rootfs is writing to flash

05:44 <tonikasch> :)

06:29 <tonikasch> bye

06:29 <tonikasch> cu

06:50 <buyadong> RKAndroidTool is so slow, 1MB/s

10:38 <naobsd> radxa provides update images, tools, and procedure for reflashing whole NAND

10:45 <naobsd> I think rkflashtool etc is not necessary to flashing images from radxa

10:45 <naobsd> using rkflashtool, reading parameter is for someone who likes hacking

10:47 <naobsd> using official RK tool such as RKBatchTool should be good for most case

10:50 <naobsd> if you want to read parameter from NAND, "rkflashtool p" is better

20:08 <nvrpunk> wulfmahn: you ever get everything up and running?

20:09 <tonikasch> :)

20:10 <nvrpunk> ive gotten mine where I want it to be

20:10 <nvrpunk> minus having the ethernet auto dhcp

20:10 <nvrpunk> on boot

20:13 <tonikasch> hehehe, gonna try android inside a lxc container under linux :p just to see if I manage to get video accel
