[14:39:18] <nedko> i've repaired the power connector cable of my teres-I, but it seems that at least one of the two the connectors needs replacement
[14:40:21] <nedko> i get led flikering to green when i move the connector, visual inspection of the pcb-side connector did not convince me that the pcb solder joints are broken, so it must be the connectors
[14:41:14] <nedko> i'd buy another teres main pcb and another psu for it, but if i'm able to find a supply of these connectors would be good too
[14:41:56] <nedko> the cable wires were found quite oxidized and some of the were obviously cut
[14:42:36] <nedko> maybe i'll put a magnetic connector instead...
[16:32:42] <undltd> Hi everyone. Curious if anybody tried to run nixos on A64-OLinuXino?
[17:00:05] <mps> these boards are fine to run any linux distro on them
[17:00:25] <mps> I run alpine linux very fine
[17:08:01] <undltd> last time I tried nixos aarch64 image, didn't get anything on hdmi, probably I needed to look at the serial console, but didn't have a usb to serial adapter than
[17:09:07] <mps> undltd: I didn't tried with hdmi on this board but teres-i works fine
[17:10:07] <undltd> mps: glad to hear, which image do you use?
[17:10:38] <mps> alpine linux, I installed with my scripts
[17:10:50] <mps> not ready-made images
[17:12:40] <undltd> and what do you boot initially? You build an image or use some kind of installer?
[17:13:33] <Tsvetan_> nedko send email at support@olimex.com I think we have spare connectors
[17:20:52] <mps> undltd: I build kernel and u-boot then install alpine to mmc and 'flash' u-boot and install kernel there
[17:21:17] <mps> undltd: that's all
[17:54:56] <nedko> Tsvetan: thanks, will do
[18:39:04] <undltd> mps: can you describe what you mean by flashing u-boot and installing the kernel?
[18:59:38] <mps> undltd: dd if=u-boot.bin of=/dev/mmcblk1 ....
[19:00:15] <undltd> ah, thanks
[19:01:02] <mps> undltd: I can post my script which do all this things later, now I'm trying to fix my apple M1 macbook, managed to make wrong kernel and grub configs
[19:01:32] <undltd> mps: don't bother, I get the idea
[19:01:39] <undltd> good luck with the m1 :)
[19:02:50] <mps> undltd: it is here https://tpaste.us/EMlg
[19:04:10] <mps> undltd: I'm running linux alpine on m1 in 'bare metal mode' right now, just have to fix keyboard driver for latest branch :)
