IRC log for #arm-netbook on 20121115

00:02.30TurlZaEarl: it lasted two major upgrades, that's pretty much the standard on the nexus world
00:04.06ZaEarl4.2 is a minor upgrade. I suspect they just haven't had time to port it yet, but will.
00:04.21ZaEarlat least that's my hope
00:18.06TurlI doubt that's the case
00:18.23Turlthere will surely be community ports anyway, so I wouldn't worry much

08:45.46focus_wellcan't wait to fit ssd and do a kexec to transfer boot from SD to SSD and set up webserver + ftp server
08:46.44focus_wellgot me a BT line with 60mbit download speed and 16mbit upload speed - so it should work like a 'normal' webserver for two or three people use it at same time
08:47.08focus_wellhow tech changes with time!
08:47.22focus_wellall for about 10W guessing.
08:48.59chengwhat's the reason of using SSD rather than internal NAND? for speed?

09:27.23slapinoliv3r: not so good, NAND still do weird things, and it is heavily raining
09:27.40focus_wellslapin: I ordered two boards by waiting for 2 hours and placing 2 separate orders on different emails. You don't need to register - click on order and enter the card, email and address details. I think any excess you pay on one order is treated as a donation. That is why I placed 2 separate orders instead of one big order.

09:50.09mnemocslapin: what do you mean by cubieboard2? afaik the "next" rev will be mostly the same but with more pins, battery for the rtc, LiPo connector, and some minor changes to be able to have i2s
09:50.12slapinspecing, focus_well: ftp is nice old protocol, why kill it?
09:50.36oliv3ri2c? TWI i guess?
09:50.46oliv3rFTP still today has its purpose

09:50.56mnemocslapin: not soon
09:51.19slapinmnemoc: any ideas on time frame?
09:51.32mnemocnope
09:52.36slapintoo bad, I have big hopes for this LiPo battery charger... is charger inside axp209 or external one?
09:52.52mnemocslapin: but hipboi said it will be backward compatible shield-wise
09:53.01mnemocyes, the axp209 does the charging
09:53.16*** join/#arm-netbook ol1ver (~Thunderbi@7of9.schinagl.nl)
09:55.07mnemocslapin: a little board lipo connector, 5V/usb output and a flexible range in the dc-in would be nice ... and usable for most arm devkits
09:55.50slapinmnemoc: is it only for LiPo, or plain old lithium batteries will do?
09:56.24slapinmnemoc: this thing is called power bank and is available at dx, ebay and various other places, like aliexpress...

10:03.18mnemocyes, that's the axp209
10:03.36mnemocthe first mk802 didn't come with one... and gets HOT
10:04.00mnemocthe only other device I know without axp209 is the a13-olinuxino-micro
10:05.13mnemocthe mk802 also skipped protections on the hdmi side
10:05.55mnemoca "power bank" using 18650 batteries would be nice :)
10:06.18mnemocoh, there are
10:06.35slapinmnemoc: not, that's not AXP209 - it is soldered on this device
10:07.15mnemochttp://ossfans.org/mk802_1G/20121031_005.jpg <---- i can read axp209 there

10:08.54slapinmnemoc: I have a few sticks without it, but it is totally different PCB design (with normal nice soldering of wifi module, unlike this nightmare
10:09.14slapinmnemoc: not, it is 8-legged bug, sorry

11:24.33mnemocthings happen :p
11:27.44mnemocnot sure what makes paypal less evil than moneybookers
11:28.47mnemocbut the "I don't want yet another devil messing in my bank account" argument is a fair enough
11:31.45oliv3rthat weights very strongly, and the ignorant fact, that I never heard of moneybookers
11:31.52oliv3rhaven't seen them accepted anywhere else
11:32.09oliv3rso i'd get that only for ali express, which would be ok, if it where more 'globally used' i guess

11:56.55hnoslapin, no idea. But might be interesting to map it's pins.
11:57.47slapinhno: have you played with reading code?
11:57.57hnoNice. Have repeated JTAG hack I applied on OLinuxIno A13 on Cubieboard as well.
11:58.35hnoslapin, Not today. Played a bit yesterday, but no sensible results yet. A bit difficult not knowing what really is on the flash.
11:59.02slapinreads ONFI 1.0, trying to understand something important
11:59.37hnoWill play a bit more with the Allwinner code later to try to understand what is on the flash.
12:00.09slapinhno: well, in latest code it reads always the same info, but full page, something is wrong with positioning on NAND
12:00.30slapinhno: you need to enter really large value for nand dump to see the difference
12:00.52hnoslapin, Allwinner do use the controller a bit differently for reading, composing a chain of up to 5 commands in one go.
12:00.56hnoslapin, how large?
12:01.08mnemochno: the hack to alternatve between mmc and jtag?
12:01.40hnomnemoc, yes, and having a wired 20-pin JTAG header.
12:01.47hnoincluding system reset.
12:01.50mnemocawesome!
12:02.09hnono messing with SD UART/JTAG breakout board and cables.

12:03.15hnoComing, both of the final result with second SD + JTAG header, and an annotated picture explaining where to find the signals.
12:04.44hnoneed to figure out if a "nand disable" can be easily added as well. Poking with a metal piece at the nand pins during reset is not entirely comfortable.
12:06.55hnoAll the MMC0 signals are easily accessible at the back of the board in the array of 3x4 componens (beneath the Cubie logo)
12:07.12oliv3rmnemoc: btw, I do not approve or like paypal either. I just happen to have them, and if I could do without, i would. Google Checkout seems vailable (don't know if it's a paypal alternative)
12:12.19mnemoci love google checkout, unfortunatelly they are even less supported than skrill
12:13.08mnemochno: very nice
12:13.35mnemochno: got the layout from hipboi or find it out yourself?
12:14.40oliv3rmnemoc: the most widly supported one is paypal, and I wish it could die and go away

12:35.31slapinhno: I'd prefer using command-by-command approach. Actually nand_sunxi almost never executes commands in parallel, and does not do batches. All this is fictional and overcomlicated, see the source.
12:39.12hnoslapin, when reading pages it does this: http://fpaste.org/WSNb/
12:42.57slapinhno: as I understand this SECTORN_NUM is only for ECC
12:43.05slapinhno: and randomizer
12:43.33slapinhno: all the same is the same
12:48.59hnoADR_NUM=4, SEND_ADR, DATA_TRANS, SEND_CMD1, DATA_TRANS, SEND_CMD2, DATA_SWAP_METHOD, 1<<31?
12:53.42slapinlooks
12:55.12hnoADR_NUM = #address_cycles - 1
12:57.00slapin-1? that's weird. I see they write address cycles directly there... probably that is a problem...
12:57.43slapincan you please test it?
12:58.03hno<PROTECTED>
13:00.06hnoBut you are right. The driver never ever uses SEND_CMD3/4.
13:00.15hnoonly 1 & 2.
13:01.08hnoReally should wire up the logic analyzer and map things out a bit. This is confusing.
13:01.12slapinhno: please fix line 192 of sunxi_nand.c, and please test if you can, I'll be home only in 5+ hours.
13:01.30slapinwhere they get CMD2?
13:03.30hnoThere is 16 bits command in CMD and 24 bits in RCMD_SET and another 24 bits in WCMD_SET
13:04.47slapinah, I see, I can put additional commands to RCMD
13:05.08slapinso they executed sequentally
13:05.21slapinbut these don't have params, and just put on bus
13:05.34hnoand up to 4 different command types.
13:05.35slapinweird
13:05.57slapinwhy they just put 05 always, without setting address?
13:06.19slapinhno: could you please see on logic analyser the real sequence they get on NAND bus?
13:06.40slapinhno: this sequence is interesting
13:06.41hnoslapin, no idea. Hard to say what happens on the wires.
13:07.51slapinhno: it is important to see, because it might be wrong thing to do (they don't supply column for 05 and use e0 then 30 which is weird
13:07.57hnoBut it's also pretty clear you can wiggle byte per byte in CMD, even individual address cycles.
13:08.27slapinhno: yeah, we can, but a code will be simpler if we use CMD2
13:08.36hnoyes
13:09.12slapinhno: hence I try to convince you fire up the logic analyser :)
13:10.42slapinI will be able too, but only on weekend as I explore brand new HP 16500C oscilloscope

13:14.52slapinwhich oscilloscope can do that too?

13:17.11slapinhno: if NAND clock is 3MHz, why not?
13:19.01slapinhno: you don't need actual data, only first several bytes
13:19.23slapinhno: actually everything before 0x30 command
13:21.24hnoslapin, because it has only 24K of trace memory, and uses 8 bytes per transition and we are probably looking at minimum 5 transitions per clock cycle.
13:23.14slapinhno: why 5 transitions?
13:26.07slapintrigger by we|re and everything should be fine
13:26.27hnoBecause databits and clocks arrive at different times. It's sampling all connected data bits for change.
13:26.59slapinhno: trigger?
13:27.26slapinhno: anyway, I think NAND clock can be reduced for that if this is an issue
13:27.43slapinbut I think trigger will do...
13:30.17hnoI can clock it externally, but that requires a single clock signal.
13:30.59hnoI can use triggers to select when to start/stop sampling.
13:31.53hnoand +/- offsets from triggers. to sample before/after the trigger.
13:32.55hnoso theoretically possible to cover a whole page read by running it many times, but quite time consuming.
13:34.28hnoclock speed is not a big issue. But sure, lower clock speed means lower sampling rate so should get less intermediary transitions as bits settle on their values.
13:35.36slapinhno: anyway, I'd try it, we just need several bytes...
13:37.29hnoslapin, will try. But now trying to do some $$ work.

14:10.57mnemochno: weird
14:11.30hnomnemoc, it's 4MB on a 1Mbit DSL connection so takes a little while.
14:12.52hnoslapin, probably somewhere, but not in that datasheet.

14:15.11mnemochno: try now
