BROM tries at least 4 different strategies in reading the NAND boot blocks. Two different NAND protocol strategies and two different format strategies have been observed (4 different access patterns). And ontop of this it tries both randomizer scrambled and plain access. > Distros already need to build and distribute a u-boot-with-spl.bin per > supported > board.

The SPL shrinks considerably in size if built in thumbs mode. What I envisioned for sunix u-boot SPL was board-agnostic SPL binaries with a little configuration header. This way you only need two (or three is SPI is added) binaries, a list of board configurations and tool for applying the config and write the resulting binary to the boot device (NAND/MMC/SPI) There isn't really that many board specific parameters.

[linux-sunxi] Re: Allwinner R8 module
Hi Drasko, I would say that they changed the A13 SoC a bit in order to fulfill requirements of this small module as well as considering the target pricing. Maybe some of peripherals are striped out form die (LCD interface/1080p decoder etc.) and pinout is changed. UDM0/1 UDP0/1 = USB Data plus/minus (so it have 2 usb ports) Lets hope AW will release more info soon, Marko On Friday, May 22, 2015 at 5:12:35 PM UTC+2, Drasko DRASKOVIC wrote: > On Friday, May 22, 2015 at 9:05:13 AM UTC+2, Thomas Towne wrote: > > Here is Allwinner R8 SOC Pinmap information > > http://www.haoyuelectronics.com/service/A13/ > > Very cool!

[linux-sunxi] Re: Allwinner R8 module
Hi Drasko, Considering the price point and small footprint i would say they changed a SoC die and striped some of peripherals, as well as change a pinout a bit (comparing to A10/A13).

The campaign on Indiegogo is a "Flexible campaign", which means that even if you do not manage to reach the funding target, you get to keep the money. The standard Indiegogo campaign type ("Fixed") is to return the money if you do not manage to reach the funding target. If you go for the Flexible type, you need to build confidence that the device is working and what you are promising can be delivered. For example, you mention on the Indiegogo page that you ported the device to Ubuntu. Here you can show the dmesg output (put it on pastebin.com), run benchmarks or provide other relevant information. You can also send a sample to websites like cnx-software.com so that they can review it for you. 2. The position that Actions Semi is now, was probably what was with Allwinner at around 2012 (that is, in early stages for a developer board) There was a campaign on Indiegogo at https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/cubieboard-open-arm-box#/story But before that campaign, there was (independent) developer effort and confidence. You may want to contact Tom Cubie (from Cubieboard campaign) and ask for advice. 3. Actions Semi is a new fabless company, so in order to gain the interest of developers/users, you need to do some things much better than what is available with existing developer boards. Finally, this Google group is about Allwinner SoCs and it does not look nice to talk about different SoCs here. There are generic technical Linux ARM mailing lists such as those at http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/mailinglists/lists.php Hope this helps, Simos -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "linux-sunxi" group.

I have now rebuilt my own Firmware from the output of this utility, and successfully loaded it in the Android Firmware I created and am currently working on using the Kernel I made from the SDK, and a Driver I had found that loads the firmware directly from a file. I will now begin to modify the driver sources to work similarly and load the firmware directly from a text based file as does the driver I located ( this driver came from an N821 Tablet Firmware). In order to make the output work I had to do some comparisons to the driver supplied firmware.h files until I located several that were extremely similar. I also did multiple pulls of the running tab firmware and did comparisons between them. The pulled firmwares did have differences on each instance it was pulled, I took those to be in memory pages used for something other than the static firmware and pretty much just removed all of the variable sections. Using the firmware.h file compares I used the 2 most similar ones and did some edits to reorder the data to the same order used in the firmware.h files, then in sections present in All of the firmware.h files but not present in the pulled data I simply inserted the data from the ones most similar (all seemed to use the same data with 2 variants thus my 2 file setups). Both outputs worked with minor differences and I now have a fully functional Firmware rebuild. I will next compile the SDK supplied driver using my rebuilt firmware and test that then begin modifications to make the driver load the Firmware from a file. If I am successful I would like to package your utility Giving Proper Credits) with the Final Rom I produce in order to allow users to pull the data from their own Stock tab for use with the driver. This Rom will be intended to work on many Tablet models with minor patching which is the reason I have spent so much effort making this Driver .
