RE: Allwinner A10 : Is XBMC ported to MALI-400MP ? - Vaevictus2 - 2012-10-28
OK well I figure since the Mele is quite a slow box armhf operating system is the way to go as it squeezes more juice out of the processor.
The mk802 (also allwinner a10) have a nice image out there.
http://dl.miniand.com.s3.amazonaws.com/toby_corkindale/linaro-alip-armhf-t4.7z?coral-no-serve
Since that image is for a 1GB ram device and the mele is a 512MB, you need to patch the SD card after writing the SD card with http://dl.miniand.com/allwinnera10/system/u-boot-512mb.bin
I used dd for windows
dd if=uboot.bin of=\\?\Device\Harddisk1\DR4 bs=1024 seek=8
now you have an sd card image that will boot properly on a Mele
I have tested wifi - works fine.
The only thing is that the .deb file posted above for xbmc is not compiled for armhf and therefore wont install.
can we please get a armhf build of xbmca10 uploaded somewhere? If test is somewhat successful I will rip my image file and reupload somewhere
oh and just to show how close we are:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/gxuxzppgz0jk2ns/xbmca10-test.mp4
that is someone running xbmc on their allwinner a10 stick

Are you sure about the RAM amount on mele? My A2000 model shows following in serial:
Code:

nope i definitely have 512 in my a2000, and inside linux only 315MB available (a bunch gets stolen by the graphics chip)

That's also the only movie I can get to work
. On armhf I have the same issues as I posted earlier in this thread.
RE: Allwinner A10 : Is XBMC ported to MALI-400MP ? - Vaevictus2 - 2012-10-28
hi snippo.
since the post you made the other day empatzero has checked in armhf specific code, can you try again?

i have compiled this package on my mk802 running lubuntu miniand lubuntu 12.04 1GB ram version
XBMC works really good the only problem i have is i have no sound even without xbmc, i think we need a mk802 working image
here's the link

RE: Allwinner A10 : Is XBMC ported to MALI-400MP ? - Snippo - 2012-10-29
... is the version for armhf. I used j1nx's Linaro build.
@Vaevictus2
I'm already using the latest code from empat0.
Edit: Uploaded new file.
Edit2: File doesn't seem to work so I removed it.
RE: Allwinner A10 : Is XBMC ported to MALI-400MP ? - stormrev - 2012-10-29

RE: Allwinner A10 : Is XBMC ported to MALI-400MP ? - stormrev - 2012-10-29
Hi Snippo,
checking your armhf package info seems that you did not change to armhf the architecture type thus the package is not installable on pure linaro armhf
Could you pls repackage it ??
many thanks

RE: Allwinner A10 : Is XBMC ported to MALI-400MP ? - Snippo - 2012-10-29
I changed it. I'll upload it in a sec.
To anyone else having problems with it: send me a PM instead of replying here. No need to spam this topic because I made a dumb mistake :p.

rreiha:
for getting sound working create a file called .asoundrc in your home folder
paste this into it:
Code:
pcm.dmixer {
type dmix
ipc_key 1024
ipc_key_add_uid false
ipc_perm 0660
slave {
pcm "hw:1,0"
rate 48000
channels 2
period_time 0
period_size 1024
buffer_time 0
buffer_size 4096
}
}
pcm.!default {
type plug
slave.pcm "dmixer"
}
pcm.!hdmi-remap {
type asym
playback.pcm {
type plug
slave.pcm "remap-surround71"
}
}
pcm.!remap-surround71 {
type route
slave.pcm "hw:1,0"
ttable {
0.0= 1

2.4= 1
3.5= 1

}
}then reboot

I found a very nice page on building xbmc natively on the Mele a2000

I've spent some time on that page! I got extremely stuck on the very first step of creating the armel system from the rhombus-tech link. This page was created before the armhf cedar libs, has it been updated to build armhf xbmc?
