ceeneThe Aqua Fish smartphone is a smartphone produced by Intex Technologies that runs the Sailfish OS 2.0, planned to be released in September 201500:40
ceenehas that thing be released yet?00:40
princefakhanno00:42
ceeneUpdate, September 8th, launch schedule moved to earlier:00:43
ceeneIntex Aqua Fish launched on October 201500:43
princefakhanstrange. I was looking for it today and I couldn't even find proper specs00:44
ceenei don't think there's anything official at all00:44

MaxdamantusNew SD card.12:30
KotCzarnydo it movie style, let it explode on insert12:30
Maxdamantusalso, with my SDā€“backcover hack, you can swap them by sleeping in the middle.12:30
Maxdamantuscomes with an exfat partition.12:35
* Maxdamantus wonders why it starts 16 MiB in.12:38
KotCzarnyerase block?12:38
KotCzarny(hehe)12:38
KotCzarnyalso, sdcard.org formatter says sd cards have 'protected area for security functions'12:47
KotCzarnywhatever that is12:47
KotCzarnyhttps://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_4/\12:47
KotCzarnyhttps://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_4/12:47
MaxdamantusThat page seems like a load of bullshitp12:52
Maxdamantusit talks about an "SDXC driver", which is really just an exFAT driver.12:52
MaxdamantusThere's no such thing as SDXC. The standard just allowed slightly larger drives to exist.12:53
Maxdamantusunless you consider the special new filesystem (exFAT) to be part of the SD card.12:54
KotCzarnyhave you ever considered updating wikipedia with that info?12:54
MaxdamantusNo. Non-primary sources about this sort of thing are probably difficult to find.12:55
KotCzarnySDXC adopts Microsoft's exFAT file system as a mandatory feature12:55
MaxdamantusThat's obviously not the case, since I have an "SDXC" card that works with ext4.12:55
KotCzarnyhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Digital#SDXC12:55
KotCzarnyit may be wording and marketing, but older devices can have troubles with sdhc/sdxc cards12:56
MaxdamantusThat's only a software issue.12:56
*** erlehmann has joined #maemo12:56
MaxdamantusAll SD cards speak the SD protocol, which any SD driver can understand.12:57
KotCzarnystill, issue that comes from keeping tight to the specifications12:57
MaxdamantusIf you're running Linux, the thing that sits on top of the SD protocol, creating a block device, etc, will work with practically any size card.12:57
KotCzarnynope, i think older kernels required updating too12:58
Maxdamantussame with something like Rockbox.12:58
KotCzarnyit was long time ago tho12:58
Maxdamantusupdating for what?12:58
KotCzarnyfor detecting correct size12:58
MaxdamantusI suspect that would've been long before the standard enabled larger sizes.12:59
KotCzarnyhttp://forum.fs-net.de/index.php/Thread/3295-Update-old-kernel-with-SDHC-driver/13:00
KotCzarny:)13:00
KotCzarny201213:00
KotCzarnynot linux but quite recent13:00
MaxdamantusWindows is known for its bad hardware support.13:01
MaxdamantusEh, I don't think that has to do with this.13:01
KotCzarnyYou can read/write large SDHC cards since Linux kernel version 2.6.2213:02
KotCzarnycould be related to controllers drivers13:03
MaxdamantusThe controllers don't have much to do with SDHC.13:04
KotCzarnydont they?13:04
KotCzarnykernel talks to hw, hw talks to card13:04
MaxdamantusNo. They just move SD packets around.13:04
MaxdamantusIt has to do with SDIO.13:05
KotCzarnyafaik sdio was invented for anything else than flash memory13:05
MaxdamantusIt sounds like that reference to Linux 2.6.22 is some project calling itself the "SHDCi project"13:06
Maxdamantuswhich happened to implement support for more controllers.13:06
jon_ysome controllers also have variable card drive strength iirc13:06
Maxdamantusnot necessarily to do with SDHC.13:06
jon_ymaximum fun13:06
* jon_y was backporting some linux-4.3 patches13:07
MaxdamantusPretty much the only case where you're going to have hardware issues with the size is if the hardware doesn't actually present itself as an SD controller.13:07
Maxdamantus(eg, if it presents itself as a USB mass storage device)13:07
jon_yaren't there controllers that present themselves as scsi or something?13:08
*** princefakhan has joined #maemo13:08
MaxdamantusPossibly, but they would be in the same boat.13:08
KotCzarnyhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Digital#SDIO13:08
KotCzarnyyeah, its an extension13:08
KotCzarnyyou can read/write without sdio13:08
MaxdamantusI wouldn't really trust Wikipedia on this sort of thing, because it's hard to find decent acceptable sources for it.13:10
Maxdamantuseg, there are no citations in that entire section.13:10
KotCzarnyisnt wikipedia requirement for sources before factoid edits get in?13:10
jon_ypssh no13:11
jon_yespecially when nobody is looking13:11
KotCzarny:)13:11
MaxdamantusWikipedia is often annoyingly difficult when it comes to some topics.13:11
jon_ybut go on, lets help it along its demise13:12
MaxdamantusC and SD cards would be good examples.13:12
Maxdamantusplenty of secondary sources full of crap.13:12
Maxdamantusand primary sources aren't acceptable.13:12
jon_ythe only source I trust for technical standards, are the technical standards13:12
jon_ylike PCI-SIG docs for PCI13:12
MaxdamantusYeah, and those are unacceptable to Wikipedia.13:13
jon_ythey're not?13:13
MaxdamantusThey're primary sources.13:13
jon_ywat13:13
Maxdamantushttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Identifying_and_using_primary_and_secondary_sources#You_are_allowed_to_use_primary_sources..._carefully13:13
jon_yit would be odd to point out how the standard docs say something completely different than what the established 2nd source says13:14
KotCzarnyit could be the case when tech docs are ignored by implementers13:16
jon_ycould be the case13:16
KotCzarnyor when bug compatibility is a must when implementing13:16
*** erlehmann has quit IRC13:17
jon_ysee all the workaround quirks13:17
jon_yUSB, PCI, MMC hosts13:17
KotCzarnystill, tech docs for sd standard aren't free13:18
jon_y:(13:18
MaxdamantusThere are partial standards that are somewhat free.13:19
Maxdamantusbut yes, that's another thing that makes SD difficult -_-13:19
Maxdamantuspartial standards as in: they release the standard with lots of sections removed.13:19
KotCzarnyand that's why they recommend not using os formatter for 'security features'13:20
KotCzarnywithout saying what are they13:20
*** erlehmann has joined #maemo13:20
MaxdamantusSD devices also have minimal networking functionality.13:22
Maxdamantusso you can supposedly chain them together in various topologies.13:22
*** vakkov has joined #maemo13:22
KotCzarnyisnt that called daisychaining?13:22
MaxdamantusIf you connect them in a daisychain, yes.13:23
Maxdamantusbut that's only one topology.13:23
MaxdamantusThat's probably the only one you can do without a hub.13:23

ecc3gAnyone using UHS-1 cards in their n900, does it work properly?19:59
ecc3gI have a regular PC that seems to not be able to write to UHS-1 cards in Linux, but works perfectly in Windows20:00
ecc3g(Linux is using FUSE exfat, but reformatting the media to ext4 doesn't help, still cannot write)20:02
ecc3gi should say that it appears to write but no data ends up on the media...20:03
KotCzarnydmesg?20:03
*** vakkov__ has quit IRC20:05
ecc3gno indication of write failure, silent failure... up until the point that the filesystem finds itself corrupt20:06
KotCzarnythen some writes occur20:06
KotCzarnyunless its just consistency check between memory and physical20:06
KotCzarnywhat kernel/driver?20:07
ecc3gi have a feeling that linux is trying to write in regular SD/MMC mode but the card itself only supports UHS1 properly.20:07
ecc3gwhich is a bad card as they all should support SD/MMC mode20:07
KotCzarnyalso, by linux you mean n900 or pc?20:07
ecc3gI was wondering if anyone had it working on a n900 too, I suspect similar issues...20:08
KotCzarnyjust put it into n900 and check?20:08

Maxdamantusecc3g: there is no "regular SD/MMC mode"21:44
Maxdamantusecc3g: maybe it only has an exFAT filesystem.21:44
Maxdamantusoh, you mentioned that.21:44
Maxdamantusecc3g: have you tried to mount it from a commandline?21:45
KotCzarnyi would start with simple dd test on block device21:45

ecc3gYes there is a SD/MMC mode and UHS-1 uses a separate signalling mode.  And yes I've always mounted via command line.  The problem I'm seeing is that using SD/MMC mode is unreliable, but Windows does not use SD/MMC mode and uses UHS-1 mode, and coupled with that, is completely reliable.21:59
ecc3gStill could just be a bad card, but wonder if anyone else sees this behavior on UHS-1 cards22:00
ecc3gEven if it's a bad card, it works perfectly in Windows...22:00
KotCzarnysee: quirks22:00
KotCzarnyyou could've just found a bug in linux driver for your sd host22:01
ecc3gthat's also possible.22:01
KotCzarnythat's why i've suggested trying the card in n90022:01
KotCzarnyor any other linux device22:01
ecc3gif the n900 isn't working...22:02
*** erlehmann has joined #maemo22:02
KotCzarnyare there sdxc cards without uhs?22:02
ecc3git also does not work properly in SDHC USB card readers using usb-storage22:02
ecc3gI doubt it22:02
KotCzarnybecause people were using successfully big cards in n8x0/n90022:02
KotCzarnybig == >=64GB22:03
ecc3ghmm... might be a poorly implemented card, but it was too suspicious seeing two readers fail but works fine in windows22:03
KotCzarnyis that card working in windows witht that usb reader?22:04
ecc3gThat I did not try, never needed to since my windows boxes have built-in readers...22:04
ecc3gI suspect it will not work...22:04
KotCzarnyusb reader (unless its using some specific driver)should behave the same on both systems22:06
ecc3gand I suspect it will behave the same, though not sure what windows does when a disk reports a successful write but doesn't actually write.22:07
