03:47.26ManoftheSeaI think I am having trouble building my sunxi-linux kernel.  3.0.52+ from hno tree...
03:47.51ManoftheSeathe uImage says Load Address: 40008000
03:47.52ManoftheSeaEntry Point:  40008000
03:48.04ManoftheSeabut qemu crashes, saying those are outside memory.
03:49.44ManoftheSeahno: do you know what the uImage for an a10 should use for its load address?
03:50.21buZzcant you read the load address out of a compiled kernel?
03:51.18ManoftheSeaI will try that.
03:51.53ManoftheSeahmm, the 3.0.32+ seems to agree.
03:52.10ManoftheSeaso... /me looks for more qemu howto.
04:06.15ManoftheSeaokay, so... Qemu would have to know how to run an a10 device.
04:06.26ManoftheSeaI guess that makes sense, just didn't know it yet.  Awesoem.
04:06.45buZzso the load address was correct? :)
04:07.51ManoftheSeabuZz: It agrees with the kernel I downloaded rather than built.  The use of qemu was wrong.
04:08.08buZzok :)
04:08.50ManoftheSeaalso, hello.  I'm trying to get an image on uSD for a mk802ii.  hno's uboot supposedly supports it, and I *think* I compiled a sunxi-linux kernel for it.
04:08.59ManoftheSeahowever, I have yet to see it actually work.
04:09.29buZzdid you try the media-build sh script to build the uSD?
04:12.14buZzsunxi-media-create.sh in sunxi-bspscripts
04:12.26buZzs/sps/sp\/s/
04:12.28buZz:P
04:13.00ManoftheSeano, what?  I tried to download and compile with a cross-compiler: uboot, linux-sunxi, and debootstrap --foreign
04:15.18ManoftheSeawhere do hwpack and such come from?
04:18.14ManoftheSeaso, hwpack is mali and cedarx?
04:21.47buZzhttp://dl.linux-sunxi.org/amery/sunxi-3.0/
04:26.57ManoftheSeaIs it just the video drivers?
04:27.06ManoftheSeaI should be able to get a booting system without, right?
04:28.06buZzyeah but
04:28.21buZzthis script also sets up the partitions in the proper way
04:28.29buZzand puts the right binary in the mbr
04:28.44buZzand the hwpack also has script.bin or something
04:28.58buZzthe file that holds the A10 specific options your system supports
04:29.05*** join/#arm-netbook gzamboni (~gzamboni@24.117.200.77.rev.sfr.net)
04:30.56ManoftheSeaOk.  So, there's no hwpack for the mk802ii.  I did the partitioning, as well as dropping spl at 8k and u-boot at 32k.
04:31.09buZzright right
04:31.14ManoftheSeaI am a little stuck on the UART access.
04:31.16buZzand script.bin is there?
04:31.23buZzwhy so? no pins?
04:31.31ManoftheSeaNot that I can find/understand
04:31.46ManoftheSeaAlso, I haven't gotten my USB-TTL yet.
04:31.47buZzi still want a mk802 .. one day ..
04:31.58buZzah, my cubieboard had a ttl cable included
04:32.05ManoftheSeano, this is the v2.
04:32.11ManoftheSeaor... something.
04:32.41ManoftheSeaI guess there's an 802, an 802+, an 802ii, and an 802iii...  Also, the wifi chip in mine identifies it as a clone.
04:33.34*** join/#arm-netbook Dhraakellian (~ntryon@cpe-66-67-45-11.rochester.res.rr.com)
04:33.52ManoftheSeaon /dev/mmcblk0p1, I've got "boot.scr  script.bin  uEnv.txtuImage"
04:39.46buZzsounds about right
04:42.42ManoftheSeaHmm...  do you know what the root= param should be?
04:43.05ManoftheSeait's /dev/mmcblk0p2 on here... but I don't know what the mk802ii sees it as.
04:45.09buZzprobably as that
04:45.45ManoftheSeaok.
04:46.17ManoftheSeaThen I guess I get to keep staring at the board, trying to figure out what these pins are.
04:46.20ManoftheSeaThanks.
04:47.38buZz:/
04:52.29ManoftheSeaWell, I'm at the point where I need feedback, and without serial, I can't be sure whether U-boot is failing, the kernel is failing, or the network {modules,setup} is failing.
04:52.54ManoftheSeaon the other hand... there may not BE uart pins on here.
04:53.10ManoftheSeaThere are like... 8-9 pins arranged next to a uSD sized outline.
04:53.45orly_owlself-destruct button
04:53.48ManoftheSeaOne of the USB is inside that footprint, though, and it doesn't match the actual uSD on the other side.
04:53.54ManoftheSeaself-destruct?

06:52.36servili007ManoftheSea: what are you looking to do on the mk802ii?
06:54.29servili007because for the time being, build you modules and kernel on the sunxi-3.4 branch in linux-sunxi, otherwise it's going to give you a headache for something you don't have to waste time on
06:56.48servili007and if you want a hardware-pack and don't want to build one yourself, I have plenty for the mk802ii
