[linux-sunxi] New files (SDK, images) on bbs.merrii.com about the A10, A20, A31 and A80

2014-11-15 Thread Simos Xenitellis
Hi All,

I just noticed that there are a few new files on bbs.merrii.com regarding
the A10, A20, A31 and A80.
These are SDKs (the typically 6GB tarballs) and image files for LiveSuite.

Specifically for the A80,
1. there are several marketing documents and one of them is technical and
it's about building from the SDK. Nothing very interesting.
2. There are two SDKs for the A80,
-rw-rw-r-- 1 simos simos 6496183837 Nov   6 05:23 a80_merrii.tar.gz
-rw-rw-r-- 1 simos simos 6451162682 Sep  30 03:41 a80_optimus.tar.gz

Although the baidu.com links have been added recently, the file dates are
for Nov 6 and Sep 30.
Apparently, downloading the files managed to retain the timestamps (???).

Here are the sha1sum checksums:
b34850c79bacbf0aa5a25c61691451adf5533da1  a80_merrii.tar.gz
98835c9ad7c43a60357e41ecc1d80dbe6b2b857c  a80_optimus.tar.gz
d1155b128d69fd157bfe025a5f05dacc3286fdfa  merrii.txt.gz
ed42b4224cdfe5775e54f31ea0a190a3d6597d54  optimus.txt.gz
5f7fef3f5603091538ffa4587f98f45b035fe7cb  sun9iw1p1_android_optimus.img

The two txt files are the output from 'tar tvfz ...', thus you can check
timestamps, etc.

I have downloaded those files on a VPS and I'll have them online for the
next two hours. That's how long it will take me to download to my computer.
So, if you have fast internet connection, you may want to grab from there
instead of going to baidu.com.

Here are the links:
http://128.199.230.206/files/a80_merrii.tar.gz
http://128.199.230.206/files/a80_optimus.tar.gz
http://128.199.230.206/files/merrii.txt.gz
http://128.199.230.206/files/optimus.txt.gz
http://128.199.230.206/files/sun9iw1p1_android_optimus.img

Checking the timestamps of the two SDKs, it appears that both have source
code changes up until Sept 2014. I'll be downloading them anyway.

Regarding the downloading of files from baidu.com: It's a mess if you are
not located in China.
The VPS in Singapore managed to get up to 2MB/s but most times it was about
600KB/s.

Evidently, there is a way to extract a download URL from pan.baidu.com that
supports reget.
Otherwise, downloading from your browser is a bit difficult.

So, 2h from now if you would prefer to download from the links above.

Simos

Re: [linux-sunxi] mainline uboot with sunxi-next kernel hangs for Olimex A20 Lime2

 not go beyond starting kernel...

Without knowing what's in your boot.scr, your partition layout etc. it's 
difficult to help.

The section in the mainline kernel howto relating to boot.cmd/boot.scr is 
probably
out of date. With recent mainline u-boot like you've used, it's much simpler to 
use extlinux.conf. You then just need a single ext partition and can use zImage 
instead of uImage and avoid various problems.

My /boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf basically contains this:

menu title LIME2 boot menu
timeout 10
ontimeout linux
LABEL linux
KERNEL /boot/zImage
fdt /boot/sun7i-a20-olinuxino-lime2.dtb
append root=/dev/mmcblk0p1 console=ttyS0,115200 ro rootwait

with a repeated LABEL section for different images or append lines.

My .config from a working kernel running on a lime2 can be found here
http://pastebin.com/Znf14tqL
(note that this is configured to be a multi platform kernel so has lots 
of stuff you don't need if you only need it to work on lime2)


boot log using the same versions you used looks like this:

[linux-sunxi] Re: Tablets with supported touchscreen IC

2014-11-15 Thread bonninr
No, Piotr, haven't found  a dual core tablet with out of the box support 
for the touchscreen. 

Regards.

 Hello All,

 I've working in a project using allwinner based tablets, but the 
 problematic point has been to get the touchscreen drivers loading and 
 working, and the lack of documentation about which touchscreen IC they 
 include.
 I'd like to know if you have any recomendation of a tablet brand and 
 model  with a dual core or greater allwinner soc, and a touchscreen driver 
 not requiring any firmware extraction from the android kernel, or any 
 additional device specific steps, compiling the kernel driver and some 
 simple configuration is ok.
 Many thanks in advance.

Yesterday I managed to make running a touchscreen on my tablet (Kurio-7S) 
module is ft5x_ts.
