Strange, I use 3.4.5 branch and FB Console works fine, try
cat /dev/urandom > /dev/fb0

Nothing. I tried with 3.4.5 and 3.0
Could you post your kernel (uImage) so I can test it?

Sorry for late reply :
http://31.13.212.1/3.0.42.zip this is my kernel image, config and modules

Hi, HeHoPMaJIeH.

Do you run linux from an sd card or from nand?

Is it possible run linux from nand, overwriting the android?

Yes it is, you can use nandpart tool from sunxi-tools repo to partition your nand.
P.S You must uses NAND enabled u-boot version or Allwinner's SDK version

Still didn't work! Is it possible that the version on uboot I'm using is the problem? The one that comes pre-installed has a splash screen, but mine doesn't. I'm using the sunxi branch from https://github.com/hno/uboot-allwinner

Try this http://31.13.212.1/debian_2g.tar.bz2 , debian 2G image, copy it to uSD with DD :
dd if=debian_2g.img of=/dev/sdX, where X is you uSD card.

pass: password

I think I might have figured it out - it's the script.bin file that uboot uses. I tried a different one and now I get occasional flickering on the screen so that's a start. Where does that file actually come from? I can't find one specifically for the A13.

Try this :

p.s don't forget to remove script0.bin

Can you tell me the resolution that you getting from monitor using this config ?

PeeJay · September 26, 2012, 11:32:08 AM

I think it's 800x480, That's what it is set to in the kernel source.

hi,
it's possible to run linux from nand. You can download this image :
http://31.13.212.1/sun5i_linux_a13-evb.img and upload it to device with livesuit.
Keep in mind this is testing image

user : root
pass : password

Please send some feedback

I am runing linux in sdcard for the time being. But i am trying this image too(sun5i_linux_a13).

I tried to mount debian_2g.img, but I could not. I tried ext3,ext4, ... i got: "bad file system". What is the correct file system this image?

A couple of questions:

1) Does this still require an update to uBoot? If so, is there a pre-built image that's available, as the link on the hno github for pre-builts does not seem to be working.

2) Is there any way to update the uBoot without a UART cable? If I'm reading the instructions on your wiki correctly, it seems as though the answer is no, but I wanted to make sure.

Thanks

This is a RAW image, you can burn it to 2G uSD or you can build your own using instructions provided by hno and amery

If you want to resize image mount it in loop device, and use uSD creating instructions
