[linux-sunxi] uboot source contained in merii optimus image

2015-05-27 Thread Wilfried Gösgens
Hy everyone, 

I've located the uboot sourcecode inside of the A80 Optimus Meriilinux sdk 
found at:
http://bbs.merrii.com/en/viewtopic.php?f=48t=2086sid=5101df3045fa900da3f162048a5d8ea2

it can be found in:
a80_MerriiLinux_optimus_v1/brandy/u-boot-2011.09

(just in case there are any differences to the official allwinner source 
drop on Github)

Cheers from sunny Cologne, 


Willi

The SDK is a big file to download from pan.baidu.com. You can either
compare with https://github.com/allwinner-zh/bootloader (includes the A80)
or put the zipped SDK subdirectory somewhere online.

Re: [linux-sunxi] Lemon Pi on Indiegogo campaign,$35 ARM Quad-core A9 and Imagination PowerVR SGX544 open source board

 SDK is being prepared. you know, Lemon Pi is on campaign process.
 Everything including code/document/datasheet/hardware material etc. will be
 availabel as soon as possible.


There are quite of a few things to do and probably should have been done
before the campaign on Indiegogo.

1. 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

 In July 2005, after several failed attempts to legalise software
 patents in Europe, the patent establishment changed its strategy.
 Instead of explicitly seeking to sanction the patentability of
 software, they are now seeking to create a central European patent
 court, which would establish and enforce patentability rules in their
 favor, without any possibility of correction by competing courts or
 democratically elected legislators.

 Excellent Utility !!

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 . 

Again Thank You Excellent creative Work !!

Hi Drasko,

I would say that they changed the A13 SoC a bit in order to fulfill

Maybe some of peripherals are striped out form die (LCD interface/1080p decoder

UDM0/1 UDP0/1 = USB Data plus/minus (so it have 2 usb ports)

Lets hope AW will release more info soon,

Re: [linux-sunxi] Re: Proposal to add NAND-boot support for Sunxi SPL

2015-05-27 Thread Henrik Nordström
fre 2015-05-22 klockan 15:51 +0200 skrev Hans de Goede:

 What info do we need when we're only reading ? If the BROM can get away with 
 a fixed
 way of reading the nand for booting, we should be able to make the SPL get
 away with it too ...

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. This doubles the number of builds they have to do and the number of
 files they need to distribute. If at all possible I would really like
 to have a unified SPL binary.

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.

 Hi,
 
 Stupid question: isn't this kinda off-topic for this list as the SoC on the
 LemonPi isn't an Allwinner part?

This is very off-topic and should be considered spam indeed.

So this is what the crowd-funding and/or raspberry pi beater 
golddiggers have come to these days...

Apparently so.

I'm waiting for them to run out of fruit options.

just to keep this thread REALLY out of topic, the fruit race remembers me 
my early days (80ies..) of computing when my father bought me and my 
brother a not so cheap Apple //e (beware the precise syntax.. not an older 
Apple ][  :-) but there were already at the time, the china clones (at 
the time the 6502 based Apple was more or less an open design..) with 
resembling names like PearPc or Lemon and Orange.. (as far as i remember..)

it's really true that history repeats itself periodically! :-) ..sorry for 
the unuseful post, no tree has been harmed anyway for it!

 Not only China, but Europe and South America too.

Somehow, this discussion about history repeating is more interesting and 
ontopic than the spammail it is based on :)
