OK, so I got an MEBv2 eventually a week or so ago, and with some help from phil hands at the mini-debconf last week proved my card would boot, then we built suitable uboot, and tools and have just faffed about soldering serial header, serial cable, power cable up and sorting out level shifters, but now I can boot and get serial. Woo!
Now I just need to sort out rootfs and kernel, solder on IO header, suitable sata connector and I can work on something useful like debian installer support.
hooraay!
So, I have to fit htis in round way too many other things, but hope to at least contribute a bit now.
awesome. here's where i'm recording notes: http://rhombus-tech.net/allwinner/a20/boot/
i'm up to here: c3d9fb5b19f9c2b5b605cf24c65347b5d426bd16 that's on http://git.rhombus-tech.net/?p=linux.git - ask phil to add you to the repos ok? i should have a sunxi-3.4 branch created by the time you read this.
the last tag i used was 3.4.61 from the linux-sunxi repo:
commit 5edd4887d25fa826905d8a7a8ceab09c2c82baf6 Merge: 6554b8c 58055a0 Author: Alejandro Mery amery@geeks.cl Date: Thu Sep 12 14:21:32 2013 +0200
Merge tag 'v3.4.61' into reference-3.4
This is the 3.4.61 stable release
and the notes above have a link to the eoma68-a20 config i used when compiling that. the other thing you have to watch out for is that you'll need a script.fex file - it's the allwinner equivalent of "device tree" and it's a fuck of a lot simpler. DOS ini file format for a start. you'll need to grab the allwinner-tools so you'll have fex2bin and bin2fex - i don't cross-compile them i install them native on the CPU Card :)
