[09:43:15] <mindrunner> I've got an olinuxino a10s with NAND flash. I want to use the GPIO2 pins. Can I disable the NAND in fex instead of setting the jumper to use the shared pins? What do I have to do if I want to user all GPIO pins without any interference from other components?
[10:25:07] <valhalla> I have an a-20-olinuxino-micro and an old 10@ LCD with just 0.1'' connectors. now the A20 micro died (I suspect an alimentation mishap), and I'm considering replacing it with a LIME
[10:26:18] <valhalla> is there an adapter which allows to connect one of the LIME boards to the old A13-LCD10? I thought I saw it some time ago, but now I can't find anything on the site.
[10:27:33] <valhalla> and as soono as I had written it, here it is https://www.olimex.com/Products/OLinuXino/A10/A10-OLinuXino-LIME-UEXT/
[10:27:42] <valhalla> brain, meet coffee, coffee, meet brain
[10:29:15] <valhalla> https://www.olimex.com/Products/OLinuXino/A20/A20-OLinuXino-LIME2-UEXT/ ---> and the one for LIME2 as well
[17:20:17] <giacomo1989> Can someone try to run a binary on your A10?
[21:17:56] <dinamic> hi folks, anyone around ?
[21:18:02] <lukas2511> no
[21:18:07] <dinamic> great :)
[21:18:37] <dinamic> i just got my olimex 85 and have some usage questions..
[21:19:26] <dinamic> Can i use avrdude to upload my compiled programs ? or am I bound to use Digistum stuff ?
[21:20:44] <lukas2511> you should be able to program it using avrdude, at least if you have a dedicated programming device
[21:20:58] <dinamic> which i dont ^.. :/
[21:22:33] <dinamic> nice, i found: https://github.com/digistump/avr-dummy
[21:23:28] <dinamic> aha ok, so micronucleus can upload
[21:37:24] <dinamic> great, uploaded my first program
[21:38:38] <lukas2511> great
[22:59:16] <giacomo1989> Does program compiled for rpi run on a20?
[23:00:17] <lukas2511> yes and no
[23:01:50] <lukas2511> at least rpi2 uses the same architecture, but you'll need the correct library versions your program depends on and it can't do things that are special for the cpu used on rpi2 (for example gpio will probably not work)
[23:02:12] <lukas2511> for rpi1 i'm not sure if it'll work
[23:05:59] <giacomo1989> lukas2511: do you have time to test a binary from a deb?
[23:07:21] <lukas2511> mhyea sure
[23:08:34] <giacomo1989> http://feed.flightradar24.com/raspberry-pi/fr24feed_1.0.12-3_armhf.tgz lukas2511
[23:08:52] <giacomo1989> you can simply launch it via ./fr24feed after extracting it :)
[23:09:17] <otyugh> wasn't there some "clean" debian image shared by olimex for A20, I don't find them on their wiki ? :(
[23:10:14] <otyugh> (I just screwed my actual image by tring some unsuported stuff, so I'd like to make things clean this time ^^')
[23:11:17] <lukas2511> giacomo1989: it at least shows a help text, not sure if it works in operation though
[23:12:07] <giacomo1989> lukas2511: can you copy the output of ./fr24feed
[23:12:36] <lukas2511> https://kurz.pw/Ithiul2/
[23:16:05] <giacomo1989> Seems to work :) What board are you using?
[23:16:45] <lukas2511> this is a bananapi running archlinuxarm
[23:16:49] <lukas2511> a20 cpu
[23:18:31] <giacomo1989> lukas2511: is the same of the olimex a20?
[23:19:30] <lukas2511> yes, same cpu on all of these boards, olinuxino-a20-lime(2), olinuxino a20 micro, bananapi, pcduino whatever, cubieboard 2 + 3 + cubietruck, ...
[23:19:51] <giacomo1989> Thanks for your time!
[23:20:00] <lukas2511> guess i'll actually try running it
[23:24:06] <lukas2511> yea this looks good, dump1090 opens device, fr24feed connects to some server, and it doesn't crash
[23:24:09] <lukas2511> guess it just works
[23:28:31] <lukas2511> giacomo1989: not sure if that has any meaning, but it displays an "ERROR" message very early on start
[23:28:48] <lukas2511> but it seems to run fine after that
[23:28:52] <giacomo1989> Copy the error here.
[23:29:02] <lukas2511> well uhm
[23:29:03] <lukas2511> that was all
[23:29:05] <giacomo1989> Maybe it cannot read the default conf :)
[23:29:05] <lukas2511> "2015-04-18 22:27:52 | ERROR"
[23:29:06] <lukas2511> ;)
[23:29:17] <giacomo1989> asd :D
[23:29:44] <lukas2511> after that it states that it's launching dump1090, i can see dump1090 output and it reports my lat/long, range and connects and pings a server
[23:30:40] <giacomo1989> nice nice nice
[23:31:02] <lukas2511> i think there are no planes near me right now, so i can't tell yet if it will actually report data back
[23:31:06] <lukas2511> but it looks very good
[23:31:59] <giacomo1989> don't worry :) Thanks for your test
