[14:05:08] <horigome> Hi guys. I've been working on a project where I've been using the RPi3 and designed my own simple PCB (Audio codec, some I/O etc) to go on top. Now I feel that I have the basic functionality workin I need to move away from the RPi form factor and design a single PCB from scratch.
[14:06:11] <horigome> I need to find a SoC to power my project but I'm a total noob when it comes to that kind of stuff, so I found this website and figured someone here could give me some tips.
[14:08:25] <tbr> first you should ask yourself if you really need to design a PCB that has everything on it. In most cases it's much more sensible to use a SoM/CoM/... and design a PCB where that can be plugged in
[14:12:17] <horigome> Well, I plan on taking this project to market someday in the next year. I don't know if just having a RPi 3, or similar, inside of a case is going to be good enough, what do you think?
[14:14:11] <horigome> That being said, I understand that moving away from the RPi means moving away from the community that has helped me get where I am now. I'm kind of nervous to be moving into the space of writing my own kernel patches etc.
[14:22:21] <leon-anavi> horigome, is this open source hardware project?
[14:24:01] <horigome> It will be eventually, absolutely. I am working on solutions for electronic musicians - http://www.genkiinstruments.com/
[14:26:03] <horigome> We are still developing our MVP so we do not have anything of importance to share atm, but before we ship our products, our BOM, schematics, etc. will all be made open source.

[15:10:48] <adj__> what's your kernel version?
[15:11:03] <adj__> uname -a
[15:12:03] <ericdem> 3.4.90+
[15:12:22] <ericdem> Linux a13-OLinuXino-Micro-SOM 3.4.90+ #11 PREEMPT Thu Jun 5 16:40:24 EEST 2014 armv7l GNU/Linux
[15:13:29] <adj__> it seems like this issue: https://github.com/linux-sunxi/linux-sunxi/issues/159
[15:13:56] <adj__> for he/she worked using a non OTG USB port
[15:15:27] <adj__> did you tried with the regular host (not the microusb) port?
[15:15:30] <ericdem> how to connect non otg port on a13 som 512 wifi ? on witch pin ?
[15:16:45] <ericdem> https://www.olimex.com/Products/SOM/A13/A13-SOM-WIFI/open-source-hardware
[15:20:17] <adj__> I don't know, I own a olinuxino a13, but not a a13-SOM
[15:23:05] <adj__> my advice is to try with a host port if possible, then try with a newer kernel
[15:25:24] <adj__> maybe the usb host is used for the wifi in the wifi module
[15:26:34] <adj__> last 3.4 kernel is 3.4.112
[15:47:39] <ericdem> thank you adj
