[01:17:33] <woprr> HDD rated at 5V, 0.5A
[01:18:27] <woprr> is this to much for the "FUSE" labeled R in the rail before the rev.b sata power connector?
[01:19:23] <woprr> rev.c has no voltage on the SATA power connector, is this an input for power to the SATA bus connector?
[01:19:45] <woprr> or is it switched by GPIO
[01:21:49] <woprr> ACTION is getting the multimeter for R measurement of "FUSE"
[01:59:32] <Marex> woprr: sata connector doesn't produce voltage itself, you need supply to go with it too
[01:59:40] <Marex> dunno how the olimex board looks like
[02:02:12] <woprr> thx, drive is already up and running fine connected on the old rev.b sata power connector with a 220UF EC in parallel to block head actuator current spikes
[02:02:34] <woprr> power circuit OK, nothing hotter than before
[02:04:25] <woprr> Q: WHERE ARE the A20 debian images to download everybody talks in the forum, I've got to work and I'm not amused about such childish hide&seek nonsense! :[
[02:04:53] <woprr> there's nothing in the wiki from the links
[02:05:06] <woprr> what torrent? :-/
[02:05:25] <woprr> Goddammed!
[02:09:11] <hno> woprr, Not Debian but.. http://olimex.wordpress.com/2013/07/30/fedora-support-for-a10-a10s-a13-and-a20-soc-from-allwinner/
[02:09:35] <woprr> thx, I know
[02:09:51] <hno> ACTION prefer Fedora anyway
[02:09:57] <woprr> no way
[02:10:27] <woprr> anyway, I need to build my own for development
[02:10:41] <hno> woprr, there is also http://linux-sunxi.org/Bootable_OS_images#Debian
[02:11:20] <woprr> I just wanted to test SATA, but the driver is not build in the supplied SD card image or I don't know hot to activate
[02:12:04] <hno> SATA is not available in the SDK kernel sources used by Olimex.
[02:13:02] <woprr> I know http://linux-sunxi.org/Bootable_OS_images#Debian , thx, but no config for Olimex system?
[02:13:04] <hno> it is available in the Cubieboard2 kernel tree, and I think also works in stage/sunxi-3.4 but not 100% sure on current state of A20 merge there.
[02:13:26] <hno> woprr, making an Olimex version only require you to replace u-boot & script.bin.
[02:14:24] <woprr> OKOK, I clone hansg's 3.4 repo and build a new kernel with sata and hid_sunplus ;-)
[02:14:34] <woprr> ok thx
[02:17:32] <hno> woprr, A20 support was merged into the main linux-sunxi stage/sunxi-3.4 branch 29/7.
[02:18:31] <hno> so no need to go for hans personal repo I think.
[02:20:16] <woprr> where's main development / A20 going on?
[02:20:28] <woprr> main or hansg?
[02:20:39] <woprr> to submit patches
[02:21:00] <rz2k> woprr: linux-sunxi mailing list
[02:21:05] <woprr> lol
[02:21:37] <woprr> yes, sure, but hardware is not ready yet
[02:21:51] <woprr> here
[02:22:03] <rz2k> github is completely optional, send gratz to Hans for maintaining it.
[02:22:35] <woprr> ack
[02:23:08] <woprr> but the site says it's all on github now?
[02:24:06] <hno> main linux-sunxi repositories have always been on github.
[02:24:25] <hno> but development takes place around the globe and focal point is the mailing list.
[02:24:48] <hno> github pull requests are not used.
[02:25:07] <hno> only email pull requests.
[02:25:13] <hno> and patch discussions.
[02:25:41] <woprr> k
[02:27:00] <woprr> cloning linux-sunxi stage/sunxi-3.4 branch 29/7 , setting up toolchain, build kernel
[02:28:00] <woprr> thanks :)
[02:36:01] <hno> woprr, don't forget u-boot.
[02:36:19] <woprr> thx, noted
[02:36:30] <hno> Having sunxi-tools also helps..
[02:36:38] <woprr> yes
[02:37:02] <hno> there you have tools for booting via USB, which saves you a bit of time when trying new kernels. Unless you prefer doing tftp.
[02:37:24] <hno> (tftp is the fastest)
[02:38:12] <hno> plus tools for working with script.bin/fex, which you likely need at some point.
[02:41:56] <woprr> ok thx
[02:56:18] <Marex> woprr: you can use multistrap to set up your debian images
[02:56:28] <Marex> it will just spit out the rootfs on your host system
[02:56:34] <woprr> ok
[02:56:46] <Marex> then chroot into it on the target, mount proc,sys,devtmpfs and run dpkg-configure -a
[02:56:51] <Marex> and you should be all good
[02:57:15] <Marex> hno: are you pushing that allwinner crap into mainline uboot ?
[12:37:36] <PaceyIV> hi, is there anyone?
[12:51:02] <antto> nah, we're all ghosts
[12:51:24] <antto> ACTION walks away thru the wall..
[13:00:34] <PaceyIV> ....
[13:01:02] <PaceyIV> I don't undestand how to boot the Olimex A20 from sata
[13:01:34] <PaceyIV> I have the kernel, the boot script on the microSD: the official version provided by debian release 2
[13:02:03] <PaceyIV> I write my uEnv.txt where I set the root path to my sata hard disk
[13:02:49] <PaceyIV> but when kernel is waiting for booting from /dev/sda2 the sda device don't exist
[13:03:33] <PaceyIV> using debian relase 2 I see that sda is recognized afer init, when the /dev is poputated
[15:11:23] <PaceyIV> The problem is sw_ahci_platform and ata modules are not compiled static in the kernel provided by official debian R2 image.
[15:11:52] <PaceyIV> A now is it possibile recompile kernel?
[15:41:12] <hno> PaceyIV, you need SATA module built in to the kernel, or using an initrd loading the module.
[15:42:37] <hno> yes you can recompile kernel, just a little dim on which kernel source to use. A20 support have just been merged into the stage/sunxi-3.4 branch but I am not sure how many drivers are working yet.
[15:43:35] <hno> The 3.3 kernel used in most images is Allwinner SDK release + various amount of fixes depending on who built it..
[15:46:05] <PaceyIV> thanks
[15:46:38] <PaceyIV> i go to the lake now :D
[15:46:50] <hno> good idea.
[15:50:15] <woprr> lol antto XD
[15:50:35] <woprr> ACTION sees, embedded devs are low on nerves ;)
[15:51:35] <woprr> hi hn o :)
[15:53:53] <Marex> hno: ping ?
[15:54:01] <hno> Marex, pong
[15:55:14] <Marex> hno: ( for the third time ) ... are you now pushing the allwinner stuff into mainline uboot ?
[15:57:20] <hno> Marex, yes, but not sure when...
[15:57:39] <Marex> hno: ok ;-)
[18:34:41] <adrian> hy i have some problems booting olimnuxino A20 from nas server
[18:35:09] <adrian> i enabled in kernel CONFIG_IP_PNP and CONFIG_ROOT_NFS
[18:35:40] <adrian> the kernel is booting from nas, but stops when it have to mount the rootfs
[18:36:21] <adrian> also i cannot set the mac address to from uenv
[19:13:58] <diegocarrera> hi
[19:14:21] <diegocarrera> it is A13-LCD7-TS compatible with cubieboard?
[19:36:47] <Turl> Tsvetan2: hi
[22:27:09] <PaceyIV> i'm back. I try to create a uInitrd image with sata module so that kernel know it and i can boot from sata
[22:28:48] <PaceyIV> here the boot log http://pastebin.com/gNvn4FeG
[22:30:01] <PaceyIV> I load the uInitrd, kernel discovery my sda partitions. I don't know how to say to kernel what have to do to boot from sda
[22:32:01] <BJfreeman> the boot partion needs to be set to boot AFAIK
[22:34:11] <PaceyIV> i know this, but i don't know where. Without uInitrd I put the root=/dev/sda2 in the uEnv.txt
[22:34:33] <PaceyIV> but with a uInitrd I don't know where to put this information
[22:34:51] <BJfreeman> only worked with A13 and there are hardware jumpers for the device that is the boot

[01:15:20] <woprr> Q: A20 micro rev.c: Can the power circuit not drive a 2,5" HDD on the rev.b sata power connector or why was it removed?[01:17:33] <woprr> HDD rated at 5V, 0.5A
