[07:38] Hello [07:38] How do I join a dev team? [11:36] highvoltage, got it (finally) ... [11:36] (40€ taxes... ) [12:46] anyfrancis: hey there [12:47] 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 [12:48] anyfrancis: we have a few things that need packaging for 13.04, if you're interested in packaging [12:48] ogra_: great, pitty about the taxes though [12:48] well, germany, shrug [12:48] cant argue with a customs officer :) [12:49] next time just send it in pieces, packaged up to 22€ are tax free ;) [12:49] *packages [12:50] funnily if i would have hand carried it on a flight it would have been completely free (450€ limit) === bencer_ is now known as bencer === yofel_ is now known as yofel [15:53] ogra_: ok will do [15:53] ogra_: stgraber is already good at turning it into pieces [15:54] hahaha [15:57] yeah, not so good at doing it without breaking the touchscreen layer sadly ;) [15:59] pfft, touchscreens are so overrated, especially on tablets [16:31] stgraber, highvoltage, i assume someone already made a backup of the original image and i dont have to bother ? [16:36] ogra_: yeah, the original image can be found on zareason's website [16:37] ah, great, so i can mess it up [16:37] ogra_: and can be flashed with a tool on Windows if the unit is completely broken [16:37] seems my display has a really bright spot at the top right corner ... [16:37] the a10 can enter some recovery mode allowing full reflash of the internal memory [16:37] looks like an extra LED pushing against the screen from the back or so [16:38] weird, haven't seen that on the two we have here, maybe it didn't like all that traveling [16:38] yeah, well, it works i wont worry [16:38] 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 [16:39] for initial bringup i wont need the screen anyway :) [16:39] yup, still have it [16:39] 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 [16:40] 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] oh, you mean its not just not initing the csreen [16:40] *screen [16:40] as soon as we have framebuffer everything should be fine [16:42] 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 [16:43] 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] (which the kubuntu folks apparently managed to do with the pre-prod model) [16:44] there is no serial on the mini USB port ? [16:50] hmm, i guess downloads are in the protected area of the zareason page ? [16:53] ogra_: nope, they are public but a bit hidden, let me find the URL [16:53] no hurry [16:53] 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 [16:54] k [16:54] so flying blind it is [16:54] ogra_: http://zareason.net/android/zatab/ [16:54] thx [16:54] hmm, your script builds with the defconfig [16:54] are you sure thats not selecting all the android bits by default ? [16:55] it might, though according to rbelem, that's what they've been using on their unit... [16:56] k [16:57] also did you actually read out the android cmdline and /proc/config.gz from the device when running android ? [16:57] would likely be good to have for comparison [16:59] hmm, nope, didn't do that, that'd indeed be good to have [16:59] right, i'll try to capture it from mine then [16:59] its usually good to start from that config on an android device [16:59] and just disable the android bits [17:01] 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 [17:02] one clear difference between pre-prod and prod is that script.bin which is quite a bit different [17:02] i didnt plan to repartition or anything so no worries [17:03] and if i can avoid it i wont touch the first stage bootloader [17:04] sigh, if it would only finish charging ... [17:04] sits at 99% since hours [17:14] heh, while reading the backlog of this chanel I bricked my phone ;( [17:14] (well, a not-expensive phone that I just got, but still) [17:15] didn't last long ;) [17:26] at least it came back after I had the battery out for a while (shew) [17:58] ogra_: still charging?
