11:46.05fossxplorerGuys, what's a good ARM device to run simple Linux tasks with nowadays?
11:46.45orly_owlsomething with a10 or a20 soc usually
11:46.53orly_owl#linux-sunxi is the channel for that
11:46.57orly_owlthere is a wiki as well
11:47.00orly_owlfossxplorer: ^
11:47.02FlashtekI has a cubietruck
11:47.16orly_owlthats a nice board
11:47.30FlashtekA20, 2gb ram, 2gb nand, bt, wifi, sata, uSD
11:47.39Flashtekoptical out, hdmi and vga also
11:47.43Flashtekand two USB ports
11:48.38fossxplorerorly_owl, ok
11:49.00Flashtekthere is also #cubieboard for the specific discussion of...
11:50.53fossxplorerFlashtek, i thought about Truck too, but there is a new one coming?
11:50.56fossxplorerA8...
11:51.08FlashtekA80.. not before Christmas (was the last I heard)
11:51.11fossxplorerFlashtek, but is the C.T stable?
11:51.25fossxplorerOh, that's far away then
11:51.26FlashtekI've not had mine long enough to comment on that
11:51.41fossxplorerOK
11:51.50Flashteklike, a week
11:51.56fossxploreri see
11:51.59Flashtekand only got Debian working on it Sat morning
11:52.00fossxplorerWhat's your impression so far?
11:52.08fossxplorerok, cool.
11:52.14Flashtekit was a PITA to get a working image... but now I have it, seems good
11:52.21FlashtekI've attached a 80gb SSD
11:52.32Flashtekrather cute if you ask me
11:52.40fossxplorerNIce :)
11:52.42Flashtekshame it doesn't have an external port for the aerials
11:52.56fossxplorerWIFI?
11:53.05Flashtekit has WiFi and Bluetooth
11:53.07fossxplorerYou could use USB Wifi though
11:53.25fossxploreryeah, i know, but you meant WIFI antenna?
11:53.47fossxploreraerials i.e
11:59.47rz2kct has chipantenna
11:59.52rz2krecommended for this module
12:00.02*** join/#arm-netbook diego_r (~diego@host65-246-static.10-188-b.business.telecomitalia.it)
12:00.13rz2kwhich is bcm4329 wifi+bt+fm radio combo by some chinese company
12:00.20orly_owlfossxplorer: a10 and a20 are the better socs right now, the Mali 400 gpu works with free software
12:08.13fossxplorerorly_owl, so i could even run Android without GPU issues?
12:11.38orly_owlhmm well it would run
12:11.50orly_owlit may not play 1080p video smoothly
12:11.59orly_owlfossxplorer: there might be some minor issues
12:12.30fossxplorerDriver or HW-issue?
12:12.39orly_owldriver
12:12.49mripard_orly_owl: this only argument is not actually not an argument. The raspberry pi and the latest tegra too. Plus all the qualcomm.
12:13.29orly_owlcome again?
12:14.03mripard_saying "it's the better soc because it has a free software driver" is just non-sense.
12:14.20mripard_a lot of other SoCs have free software GPU drivers nowadays.
12:14.33mripard_some of them backed by the GPU vendors even.
12:15.04fossxplorerWhat about RK3188? It's a better SoC than A20 performance wise i guess
12:16.42mripard_I don't have hard figures, but yeah, given the CPUs involved, it's a reasonable assumption
12:17.00mripard_however, you'll find fare more easily dev boards based on the sunxi SoCs
12:17.16mripard_plus the community is actualyl much stronger around the allwinner SoCs
12:21.49fossxplorermripard_, like the C.T?
12:23.41mripard_yeah, or the olinuxinos, or the cubieboard, or the pcduino, etc..
12:27.28fossxplorerOky
12:29.13fossxplorerolimex has quite some boards
12:32.09fossxplorerWondering is the 10" from olimex would be usable with C.T
12:32.20fossxplorerhttps://www.olimex.com/Products/OLinuXino/A13/A13-LCD10TS/open-source-hardware
12:34.17mripard_no idea
12:34.43fossxplorerdreams about building a digital photo frame with such a device
