It didn't last long to find a new project for gnexus ;) I'm following. My page around my cluster project is finished. My mele are working flawless. 25 days of uptime now and serving nicely. Added one picture of the second cluster and a last update. http://guillaumeplayground.net/allwinner-a10-cluster-mele-a2000/ I will backup my sources ;-), keep an eye on this forum andby guillaume - Allwinner A10
Ok, it's just a giant cluster fuck... it's sad. I still don't get why Tom is still wasting his time by selling mele platform at that low price if he is so interested to make easy money and sell properly the cubieboard. Something just don't fit and don't make sense. I'm not sure the view is as manichean as you say. Agreed with you, hyena, about the headlessby guillaume - Allwinner A10
What are the corporate reasons? I was involved in the process when i tried to solve my problems with the mele and everything seemed fine to me (but slow ;-) Amery has finally done the job (for the sata), Tom pointed the crap on the uboot and Henrik seems to have refactor the clock stuff in uboot (not yet tested).

From my humble point of view: - a10linux.org done a great job with multi-uboot. - deleting the github is just a waste. - gnexus is just immature with his guiness story ;-) (at least it made me laugh and remember me some old times). - gnexus's points on the "Failed platform" are fallacious and oriented.

classic u-boot on MMC for the automatic install. Reformating the nand, put my kernel and reuse the stock uboot from nanda to boot on nandb (3.9Go). Simple and easy. I think there was no m-uboot when i have start.by guillaume - Allwinner A10
Some guys around reports me the patched version from the test package i've made to check between spl and u-boot is working and not anymore the hno current tree + patch PLL. Strange. I will test it.by guillaume - Allwinner A10
hi, I'm not living in my datacenter but i have spares ;-) i will try to do a test tomorrow and as you, i have not a lot of time. The last v1.7 i got have a kind of antenna soldered on the board. I will try to make pictures of it. I don't know exactly what is it for... wifi ? nfc ? don't know. You'll see.by guillaume - Allwinner A10
Hyena, Nice to see you are enjoying the mele a2000. Cut the led, it's just consuming power for nothing ;) Mine (32) are in full production since 3 days now and serves an average 100Mbps while sleeping. More heavy traffic is coming soon. Uptime is 15 days now and all is quite stable. Arm rocks ! Mele a2000 rocks !by guillaume - Allwinner A10
Hi, I'm using the vanilla sw_ahci_platform. Drives are showing up in sata2, 3Gbps. I just think the WD blue 2.5 5400rpm is slow and the mele sata is fine. For the same price as a Crucial m4 or other, you just get a x10 bigger storage and x10 slower device. Your choice ;) regards, Guillaume.by guillaume - Allwinner A10
