| 18:01.18 | hno | the available pin mux values is available in the pin configuration guide (internal) |
| 18:02.12 | Faqtotum | hno: but how does that affect uboot? |
| 18:04.03 | hno | Faqtotum, only a little. For some functions u-boot needs to program the A10 pins to their right functions for the hardware to work. |
| 18:05.23 | hno | i.e. for serial on SD-card slot when u-boot-mmc (when not using Allwinner boot0/1 for early startup) u-boot needs to change function of those pins from default SD-card to UART0. |
| 18:05.57 | hno | but default value for most pins is suitable as is for what u-boot needs to do. |

| 18:14.33 | hno | specing, you can only select to put UART0 TX on pins PB22 (normal uart TX pin) or PF1 (sdcard0 CLK) |
| 18:15.01 | Faqtotum | clk is not pf1 |
| 18:19.31 | specing | hno: really? I thought it was completely configurable? |
| 18:19.36 | specing | How about other 7 uarts? |
| 18:22.18 | Faqtotum | it worked for zenitraM on pf2 instead of pf1 |
| 18:23.06 | zenitraM | Faqtotum: u-boot will completely ignore script.bin |
| 18:23.30 | zenitraM | and has hardcoded the mmc pins for clk/data3 |
| 18:25.34 | zenitraM | to change that you need to recompile it changing those lines to the port you want: |
| 18:25.35 | zenitraM | http://git.hands.com/?p=u-boot.git;a=blobdiff;f=arch/arm/cpu/armv7/sunxi/board.c;h=6db17db9cdcedec187576efc23b76e45cf8ee97c;hp=725aa7557825c67c9c0e8595a34b101ea4df5293;hb=f501a2cfd78fc65eed26c408159acef7e8f1a9b9;hpb=bacac0506e7b3a31e546050acc2a25c0cb0e8fbe |
| 18:25.44 | Faqtotum | yes, which means something else is the problem |
| 18:26.09 | zenitraM | you could try |
| 18:26.14 | zenitraM | recompiling using another port from the sd |
| 18:26.20 | zenitraM | and trying using that one |
| 18:27.46 | Faqtotum | what ports would i use? |
| 18:29.45 | zenitraM | look at the script.fex |
| 18:30.02 | zenitraM | look for what PF* is configured any other port from the sd pins |
| 18:30.12 | zenitraM | and set it to that |
| 18:30.20 | zenitraM | also something funny you can try is to |
| 18:30.24 | zenitraM | set tx to the same pin as rx |
| 18:30.44 | zenitraM | that way the output will echo itself and uboot will interrupt itself |
| 18:33.01 | Faqtotum | i looked and didn't see any likely candidates |

| 18:41.36 | hno | specing, it's not all configururable. each gpio pin have about 2-4 functions you can select on the pin, and some functions can be selected on more than one pin. |
| 18:43.44 | hno | the name in systen_config.fex is just a index key for the driver. I.e. driver asks for UART0, and the pin configuratoins listed for UART0 gets programmed into the A10 with the intention that those hardware pin configurations are for UART0, but nothing checks that. |

| 18:49.47 | Faqtotum | well, you said tx could be on pf1 at first |
| 18:50.09 | Faqtotum | or was that a typo? |
| 18:50.11 | hno | Faqtotum, yes, and that's where it is listed. |
| 18:50.31 | specing | hno: Is that in the leaked NDK? |
| 18:50.37 | Faqtotum | so why did it work on pf2 for zenitraM? |
| 18:50.40 | hno | Faqtotum said it worked on PF2, which I doubt. |
| 18:50.51 | specing | err, the NDA package |

| 18:51.28 | Faqtotum | it's on the elinux page |

| 18:54.57 | Faqtotum | ah |
| 18:55.14 | Faqtotum | so pf1 won't work, then |
