02:23 Coburn jnettlet: Just letting you know I checked dmesg right now on the clearfog and that ethernet port that was discoing is no longer doing so :D
03:42 jnettlet Coburn, excellent. I will work on a pulling together a full build.
03:48 Coburn Do you compile from the source or do you repack, jnettlet ?
03:50 jnettlet compile from source
03:51 jnettlet ultimately this will go up to our build servers, so then others can just use the lede image builder to customize it how they want.
05:02 Coburn ok, cool
06:48 jnettle 06:48 * jnettlet wonders how long a full build of LEDE will take
07:41 Coburn jnettlet: I crosscompiled LEDE on my ODROID-XU4
07:41 Coburn Basically, that board is a Samsung Exynos 8-core and I chose the Armanda target
07:42 Coburn Went OK, but then it stopped on some lame package error
07:54 jnettlet which package error?
08:23 Coburn i forget.
08:23 Coburn I was trying to compile everything into the image
08:43 vpeter jnettlet: for example triggerhappy package doesn't build.
08:43 vpeter And do you know how to switch pcie to msata with u-boot in lede?
08:44 vpeter Seems I'm close to run my build :)
08:47 Coburn vpeter: apparently it's some configuration in uboot building
08:48 Coburn like you comment out an if statement. Yes. Blame marvell to making it that difficult, I can't see why it couldn't just be a check if a environment variable is set and it runs the code that wa
08:48 Coburn way*
08:52 vpeter Maybe there was better way than #if 1. Must check but for now I choose easy way (ask question).
09:01 vpeter Seems I need to patch u-boot-2017.03/board/solidrun/clearfog/clearfog.c.
10:32 topi` jnettlet: I was counting on a plan to have the boards pre-fused and preinstalled with UBOOT
10:33 jnettlet topi`, you can request that with your order.
10:33 topi` jnettlet: if we can just get by with inserting a SDcard and changing some jumpers, and that way seeding the board with our image...
10:33 topi` the usb-otg is one way, but it's slightly more cumbersome
10:33 jnettlet topi`, if they are the new rev 1.4 HB then you can use the jumpers to switch booting. You don't need to fuse anything.
10:33 topi` especially considering the bad soldering of my cable :D
10:34 topi` jnettlet: we haven't placed the order yet, so quite likely 1.4
10:34 jnettlet topi`, okay let me check.
10:34 jnettlet you are getting the Base or Edge?
10:35 topi` the Gate as of right now. The customer doesn't seem to need SATA
10:35 topi` I mean M.2
10:35 jnettlet the same. m.2 is the connector, sata is the interface
10:36 jnettlet yes, 1.4 are in production, so all new ones will be 1.4. Therefore you can use the jumpers to do what you want.
10:36 topi` this is good news, we can just create a bunch of SDcards to "seed" the boards, and then just fire them up with jumpers set to SDboot
10:37 topi` I already wrote a custom "flasher" tool :)
10:37 topi` to run on top of a buildroot image
10:37 jnettlet you should be all set then
10:37 Coburn Does the clearfog boot uboot in a certain sector from uSD?
10:40 jnettlet Coburn, yes at 512bytes
10:40 jnettlet actually it checks 2 offsets in case you are using GPT partition
10:42 vpeter jnettlet: can you check this pdf if this device is good to be used with clearfog? http://sup.xenopt.com/pluggables/XSUEx1-M1Rx.pdf
10:43 jnettlet vpeter, should be fine.
10:48 vpeter thanks.
