Mele A1000 no boot from sdcard

Postby guillaumeb47 » Fri Jan 18, 2013 5:03 pm

Hello all,

I am french and my english is bad :D
I buy a Mele A1000 this week and i try to do that: http://archlinuxarm.org/platforms/armv7/mele-a100 in section "Installation".
All steps are OK
After, i insert the sdcard into the MeleA1000 and i power on it. The Mele is plug on my TV with hdmi cable
I wait one minute but the screen is always black :(

Do you know why the boot (on sdcard) not working ?

Thanks you in advance for your response.

You're assuming that the HDMI is auto-configured for you.

Serial or ssh :)

Thank you for your response.
I don't know if the HDMI is auto-configured :)
I tried to boot on sdcard with VGA but the screen is always black.

How use ssh ? I don't know login and password to connect at MeleA1000 with ssh :geek:

Thanks

Thanks, i connect to Mele with SSH (root and root)
After i update the system with "pacman -Syu"
and i install X with "pacman -S xorg-server xorg-xinit xorg-server-utils"
After i would like install a video driver and load modules at init (lcd hdmi ...) but i can't :(
For example, i try to do: "modprobe hdmi" but after the commande "lsmod" is empty

What video driver i can install for Mele A1000? Is it in repository?
How load modules?

Thanks you again

You may need to reboot if the kernel updated. You can safely use the fbdev if you don't want to compaile the mali driver.

Ok thanks, i will try fbdev tomorrow.
To compile Mali driver: http://rhombus-tech.net/allwinner_a10/Compile_X11_driver_for_A10/
Is it a good procedure ?

Thanks
