| anyfrancis | Hello | 07:38 |
|---|---|---|
| anyfrancis | How do I join a dev team? | 07:38 |
| ogra_ | highvoltage, got it (finally) ... | 11:36 |
| ogra_ | (40€ taxes... ) | 11:36 |
| highvoltage | anyfrancis: hey there | 12:46 |
| highvoltage | anyfrancis: good place to start is to subscribe to edubuntu-devel mailing list and send an introduction email,looking at the bug list on launchpad and finding edubuntu bugs that interest you could help you find what you're interested in | 12:47 |
| highvoltage | anyfrancis: we have a few things that need packaging for 13.04, if you're interested in packaging | 12:48 |
| highvoltage | ogra_: great, pitty about the taxes though | 12:48 |
| ogra_ | well, germany, shrug | 12:48 |
| ogra_ | cant argue with a customs officer :) | 12:48 |
| ogra_ | next time just send it in pieces, packaged up to 22€ are tax free ;) | 12:49 |
| ogra_ | *packages | 12:49 |
| ogra_ | funnily if i would have hand carried it on a flight it would have been completely free (450€ limit) | 12:50 |
| === bencer_ is now known as bencer | ||
| === yofel_ is now known as yofel | ||
| highvoltage | ogra_: ok will do | 15:53 |
| highvoltage | ogra_: stgraber is already good at turning it into pieces | 15:53 |
| ogra_ | hahaha | 15:54 |
| stgraber | yeah, not so good at doing it without breaking the touchscreen layer sadly ;) | 15:57 |
| ogra_ | pfft, touchscreens are so overrated, especially on tablets | 15:59 |
| ogra_ | stgraber, highvoltage, i assume someone already made a backup of the original image and i dont have to bother ? | 16:31 |
| stgraber | ogra_: yeah, the original image can be found on zareason's website | 16:36 |
| ogra_ | ah, great, so i can mess it up | 16:37 |
| stgraber | ogra_: and can be flashed with a tool on Windows if the unit is completely broken | 16:37 |
| ogra_ | seems my display has a really bright spot at the top right corner ... | 16:37 |
| stgraber | the a10 can enter some recovery mode allowing full reflash of the internal memory | 16:37 |
| ogra_ | looks like an extra LED pushing against the screen from the back or so | 16:37 |
| stgraber | weird, haven't seen that on the two we have here, maybe it didn't like all that traveling | 16:38 |
| ogra_ | yeah, well, it works i wont worry | 16:38 |
| stgraber | ogra_: anyway, do you still have that pastebin I gave alkis and you the other day? with that you should be able to get a microsd card to get you to a blank screen at boot time | 16:38 |
| ogra_ | for initial bringup i wont need the screen anyway :) | 16:39 |
| ogra_ | yup, still have it | 16:39 |
| stgraber | that same microsd would boot the pre-prod model just fine, so my guess (well, infinity's) is that the model number is just wrong in uboot + kernel and that changing it there + rebuilding both should do the trick | 16:39 |
| stgraber | then, apparently the kubuntu folks managed to get X working on theirs (pre-prod), so it should be easy to get something wroking (but not accelerated) once we can get the kernel to boot | 16:40 |
| ogra_ | oh, you mean its not just not initing the csreen | 16:40 |
| ogra_ | *screen | 16:40 |
| ogra_ | as soon as we have framebuffer everything should be fine | 16:40 |
| stgraber | nah, AFAICT the kernel doesn't even boot. I've been trying to check for that by looking at the ext partition mount counter and it's clearly not incrementing | 16:42 |
| stgraber | once the kernel boots, we should at least be getting log files on the partition and can get wifi + ssh working, then get the rest working from there | 16:43 |
| stgraber | (which the kubuntu folks apparently managed to do with the pre-prod model) | 16:43 |
| ogra_ | there is no serial on the mini USB port ? | 16:44 |
| ogra_ | hmm, i guess downloads are in the protected area of the zareason page ? | 16:50 |
| stgraber | ogra_: nope, they are public but a bit hidden, let me find the URL | 16:53 |
| ogra_ | no hurry | 16:53 |
| stgraber | ogra_: there's no serial of micro USB sadly. There is what looks like a uart (3 pin) connector on the board but I haven't had the time to try hooking to that yet | 16:53 |
| ogra_ | k | 16:54 |
| ogra_ | so flying blind it is | 16:54 |
| stgraber | ogra_: http://zareason.net/android/zatab/ | 16:54 |
| ogra_ | thx | 16:54 |
| ogra_ | hmm, your script builds with the defconfig | 16:54 |
| ogra_ | are you sure thats not selecting all the android bits by default ? | 16:54 |
| stgraber | it might, though according to rbelem, that's what they've been using on their unit... | 16:55 |
| ogra_ | k | 16:56 |
| ogra_ | also did you actually read out the android cmdline and /proc/config.gz from the device when running android ? | 16:57 |
| ogra_ | would likely be good to have for comparison | 16:57 |
| stgraber | hmm, nope, didn't do that, that'd indeed be good to have | 16:59 |
| ogra_ | right, i'll try to capture it from mine then | 16:59 |
| ogra_ | its usually good to start from that config on an android device | 16:59 |
| ogra_ | and just disable the android bits | 16:59 |
| stgraber | also, not sure how much you read on the a10 yet, but the boot sequence is a bit weird. The firmware basically looks for a specific flag on both nand1 and emmc1, starting with emmc, if it finds a device with that flag, it tries to mount the vfat partition and parses script.bin which contains a bunch of hardware settings, script.bin typically then gets the device to chain boot uboot which then boots the OS | 17:01 |
| stgraber | one clear difference between pre-prod and prod is that script.bin which is quite a bit different | 17:02 |
| ogra_ | i didnt plan to repartition or anything so no worries | 17:02 |
| ogra_ | and if i can avoid it i wont touch the first stage bootloader | 17:03 |
| ogra_ | sigh, if it would only finish charging ... | 17:04 |
| ogra_ | sits at 99% since hours | 17:04 |
| highvoltage | heh, while reading the backlog of this chanel I bricked my phone ;( | 17:14 |
| highvoltage | (well, a not-expensive phone that I just got, but still) | 17:14 |
| stgraber | didn't last long ;) | 17:15 |
| highvoltage | at least it came back after I had the battery out for a while (shew) | 17:26 |
| highvoltage | ogra_: still charging? | 17:58 |
