[Arm-netbook] A64 SDK

[Luke Kenneth Casson Leighton]

small favour to ask of people (anyone):
search "lichee_A64_A5.1_V1.0.tar.gz", this should come up with a link
on baidu. endeavour to download this file, then check whether it's
corrupted or not.
thanks in advance,
l.

I can't get past the Baidu login page which appears if you click on the
download button.

ah. from what i recall, that can be solved by creating a qq account.
there does exist a baidu downloader for linux.... or something called
"Baidu Exporter":
http://www.cnx-software.com/2015/01/14/downloading-files-on-baidu-or-via-http-bittorrent-or-metalink-in-linux-with-baiduexporter-aria2-and-yaaw/

i have received a copy of the SDK (via a different route) - the
problem is that it took a *month* of retries to extract it out of
china, and every single copy has file corruption. the last corrupted
version was only corrupted right at the end, meaning that i have
alllmost everything needed...

... what i'd like to be able to confirm is, before getting back to
allwinner, whether it's *their* file that's corrupted or whether the
process of extraction of the file from china is the likely cause.

therefore if someone else can obtain the file and verify its
integrity, that would be very useful.

I got the same issue with the mobile website (as accessed via google on
my PC).
If I convert the URL to the desktop version, I can start the download:

fantastic. if you are able to get the file in one go and it's
complete, please do let us know (md5sum, file size).

if it *doesn't* download in one go then you will likely find that a
continuation results in corruption, in which case it would be good if
you could try that "Baidu Exporter".

ok - do you have a linux server anywhere, or, manuel, tell you what:
could you send me an ssh public key, and would you be happy to rsync
the file up to my server?

I have reupload it: http://george.the-petries.co.uk/shared-write-access/eoma/tmp/lichee_A64_A5.1_V1.0.tar.gz

It is the server of Alexander Stephen, and the file is too big, so tomorrow I will delete it. Thanks Alexander!

awesome - thanks jean-luc. that will help some new friends i know
who would like to work with the A64.

i've done a quick preliminary analysis: kernel 3.10 and u-boot source
code are there. the u-boot code i have not yet detected any GPL
violations: even the NAND source code is there. it's not properly
marked up: yet again, those fucking STUPID procedures that tom's
ex-manager set up are being run on the code, to destroy and remove all
responsibility for copyright ownership, but other than that, even the
source code for boot0 and other things such as the SPL initialiser
code are all there.

the kernel source is a different matter: i've found two clear and
blatant GPL violations already (in modules) - one is the usual
"libnand" (despite the fact that the u-boot code contains the NAND
source code), the other is some "secure" library.

now, product-wise, people downloading the GPL-violating A64 SDK may
simply create products that *don't use* NAND (or this "secure"
library) - booting from SPI, SD or eMMC is perfectly possible instead,
and in that way create GPL-compliant products. we already have a
clear authoritative written word from an official allwinner
representative that any code marked as "all rights reserved" may be
modified to state "GPLv2, Copyright Allwinner", although strictly
speaking we know that allwinner is supposed to make that mark-up
itself... fascinating to be working with products from a company
that's fighting itself, left hand not knowing what the right is
doing...

anyway gotta go,

l.

Well… the other alternative is Snapdragon 410. There is another alternative at present.

ok just a thought, before doing that, could you do:
tar -tvzf A64_....tar.gz > /tmp/f

then report if there are any errors? actually you could probably do:
zcat A64_.....tar.gz > /dev/null

and it would be just as effective.
