<mercora>
it did once! totally forgot about that :D
<mercora>
sorry i dont have a radxa device
<mercora>
mk809III
<Bludot>
ah.
<mercora>
but booting from sdcard worked just fine
<mercora>
i will try this
<Bludot>
i have a lenovo a10 that no one has developed on yet. I must be the first
<Bludot>
got ubuntu to boot on mine but no wifi.. and the kernel is being a bitch. not to mention my ubuntu kicked the bucket so i had to lose everything and reinstall
<mercora>
:D i tried, i find it quite mess... its really hard to find outwhat to do event though there are people knowing it ... i mean fixes neede for the kernels and stuff like that
<Bludot>
tell me about it. I didn't even have a deconfig to start with (but lenovo was nice enough to give the kernel source)
<mercora>
i.e i compiled the radxa kernel which also didnt work with wifi and other things ... it seemed like there was support for the wireless chip ... i had compiled the drivers and some other things i cant remember anymore ... i wasnt able to get it working ... and before i further investigated it bricked ...
<Bludot>
oh.. you need to get the kernel for your device. the radxa wont work
<Bludot>
search for kernel source code for your device
<Bludot>
or visit the devices manufactures site and they might provide the source
<mercora>
im not aboslutely sure but i think they are mostly base off the same source... it might be some gpio configuration or something
<mercora>
the kernel bootet fine but without wifi support
<Bludot>
ah
<Bludot>
yeah its useless without wifi
<mercora>
the kernel config had a setting for mx chipset
<mercora>
this setting was inserted by rockchip it seemed
<mercora>
so i thought it might be generic enough
<mercora>
could also be that android code must be adopted to make it work
<Bludot>
my issue is: i compiled it once... but i guess I forgot what i did... so now i get this annoying blueberry_bat error
<mercora>
i wish i could find out because it was actually somewhat enjoyable to dig around that :D
<Bludot>
get any headaches yet?
<mercora>
i havent done much ...
<mercora>
3 days after i got it it broke
<mercora>
so sad :D
<Bludot>
lol... try the sdcard yet?
<mercora>
nope backing it up ...
<mercora>
takes a while ...
<Bludot>
you did make backups of the images right?
<mercora>
you mean of the stock firmware ?
<Bludot>
yeah
<mercora>
no and realised it seconds after it was too late
<Bludot>
the kernel partition, system, user, data, etx
<Bludot>
oh
<Bludot>
that sucks
<mercora>
others are easily abale to adapt kernels for whatever wifi
<mercora>
but i could find anywhere what they do to achieve it
<mercora>
i guess i should start writing on forums again :S
<mercora>
*could not

<Bludot>
well... usually if you have the source for the device, you compile the kernel and make sure you compile the wifi driver as a module
<mercora>
sure but seemingly not enugh :D
<Bludot>
then you compile modules and move them to a folder on the ubuntu system
<mercora>
i bet oon gpio issue but i dont know
<mercora>
maybe the kernel of radxa is configured for different wiring or something
<mercora>
im not that experienced in stuff like this :D
<Bludot>
it probably is
<Bludot>
me either. I can program but I haven't messed with the source code yet
<mercora>
i hoped this would get me some kernel hacking skills over time ^^
<mercora>
it may will, hope isnt gone yet :D
<Bludot>
do you program?
<mercora>
yes i do for a living in germany :D
<Bludot>
lol.. i speak german (can't write so well) my mother is german
<Bludot>
got dual-citizenship
<Bludot>
i live in america
<Bludot>
what do you program in?
<mercora>
depends, but in office hours mostly java ...
<mercora>
currently ive fun with go :D
<Bludot>
cool. im still in school (college)
<Bludot>
you can type german if its easier for you. I can read it just fine ;)
<mercora>
never went to a collage, also aborted all school activities since i was 16 :S im about to redo tall of it in near future
<Bludot>
ah. so you did a praticum?
<mercora>
oh no english is fine, i guess its also the channels language and i tend to respect that :D
<mercora>
i did some... i got my first job after one ^^
<Bludot>
in america its alot harder. im ahead of the game cause I got lucky and got an internship (unpaid :( )
<mercora>
ive the feeling, espcially in germany, its hard to be invited prove any skill if you dont have proper paperwork
<mercora>
damn i hoped it would be easier xD
<Bludot>
yeah. thats true
<Bludot>
mercora: nope. right now though (since i got real lucky with the intern) i was able to get a job
<Bludot>
now I have two
<mercora>
nice! :D
<Bludot>
gotta pay for college. $2,000 every semester D:
<mercora>
oh, in germany its "nearly" free
<mercora>
thats actually really nice :D
<Bludot>
that just about makes up everything i make. mercora tell me about it
<Bludot>
come august (ill graduate in spring) im going to start to apply for jobs
<Bludot>
hopefully i can get one in germany since i have dual-citizenship, it should be no problem with the hiring
<mercora>
there are even people that are fake studying to get some benefits like a discount on transit tickets
<Bludot>
my sister is studying in germany this year
<Bludot>
lol... love the public transportation
<Bludot>
what about herz4?
<Bludot>
hertz4
<Bludot>
think its called that...something like that
<Bludot>
people have been abusing it
<mercora>
you cant get it while studying but you have other options like bafög which is basically a credit to spcal conditions
<mercora>
hartz4 actually or ALGII - Arbeitslosengeld 2
<Bludot>
my sister applied for baforg but she didn't get much :(
<mercora>
she can also apply at kfw for a credit
<Bludot>
whats that?
<mercora>
but isnt that much either
<Bludot>
well.. shes going with a program now. she gets a bit more security i guess
<Bludot>
so if anything happens,she wont get stuck with no money in germany
<mercora>
seems like a good thine :D
<mercora>
*thing
<Bludot>
yeah.
FreezingCold has joined #radxa
<mercora>

<Bludot>

<Bludot>

<Bludot>
eh.. my parents want me to hurry up with college and move out.
<mercora>
haha
<Bludot>
they wouldn't just kick me out of course. they just want their time alone again.
<mercora>
enough of role model function :P
<Bludot>
haha
<mercora>
sure, thats also fine ^^
<mercora>
ehere in us do you live ?
<Bludot>
florida i hate it
<Bludot>
but my mother loves it. its way too hot here
<mercora>
wonder if there is some region where everybody agrees they have awesome weather all the time :P
<Bludot>
don't think so. theres always something
<mercora>
its always to hot, cold, rainy, dark whatever *G*
<mercora>
but i think hotness is pretty exhausting
<mercora>
rain is not
<mercora>
so thats somewhat mor terrible :P
<Bludot>
hotness is terrible. you can only take off so much before its illegal
<Bludot>
with cold weather you can always layer up
<mercora>
very true
<Bludot>
omg... some guy just made a stupid statement
<mercora>
i actually think the eather in germany isnt that bad its quite in the middle without beeing extreme
<Bludot>
i agree
