[06:59:34] <bpir> hi I have a question
[07:00:12] <bpir> ?
[10:27:41] <apaul> how to get backup of nand to sd card
[10:28:34] <apaul> does it sound right? dd if=/dev/nand of=/dev/mmcblk0
[10:54:57] <apaul> please help me some buddy!
[10:55:18] <apaul> how can I program bulk quantities
[13:26:19] <hoijui> hello! i am trying to debug an OlinuXino-Lime-A10 over UART (conected to my PC over a USB FT232RL tool)
[13:26:30] <hoijui> i never used UART before
[13:26:55] <hoijui> i am able to receive something with 9600 baud, when powering up the system
[13:27:09] <hoijui> but it is just somethign that looks like binary data
[13:27:31] <hoijui> is that normal? i was expecting something like a boot-log
[13:28:12] <hoijui> i get the same result whether i se arduino IDE or minicom to listen
[13:45:43] <hoijui> what are the correct serial port settings? i am using 9600 8-n-1
[13:49:08] <diego71> hoijui: try 115200
[13:51:37] <hoijui> diego71, i tried tha tbeofre wiht minicom, and nothign was shown, but now iwth screen it works, though only for the first 2sec or so, then it shows binary stuff again
[13:51:45] <hoijui> anywya.. much better already
[13:51:48] <hoijui> thanks!
[14:02:17] <hoijui> got it working all the way now.. had a uEnv.txt which set bad terminal params
[14:14:33] <hoijui> it starts but fails to setup the network interface because of.. some more low level problem, it seems... how do i get an interactive console on the debug interface>
[14:14:34] <hoijui> ?
[14:15:19] <hoijui> i got one before, when there was a journal consistency proble when mounting the sata disc
[14:15:44] <hoijui> i was able to login as root and fix it with fsck over UART
[15:14:02] <diego71> if it failed to set the network link, probably it's looking for a dhcp server
[15:15:33] <diego71> hoijui: if you are using debian, check /etc/network/interfaces
[15:16:05] <hoijui> diego71, yes that is what is happening
[15:16:12] <hoijui> it should look for a dhcp server
[15:16:28] <hoijui> it also finds one, whne i boot from SD card, nut not when i boot from SATA
[15:16:57] <hoijui> but the main issue i have now, is that i dont know how to login into my system over UART
[15:17:06] <hoijui> that would help a lot
[15:21:58] <hoijui> .. hmm, i guess i would have to tell the olinuxino-lime to start a terminal server on the uart "port" somehow
[15:22:08] <hoijui> console server
