while this isnt strictly the right place, Anyone happen to know how to flash intel atom baytrail socs? like in th yoga tab2? IE outside of fastboot/droidboot/usb? Want to see if i can recover a totalyl bricked tablet that uses this SOC
<buZz>
you dont flash those socs
<buZz>
there's nothing flashable inside ..
<buZz>
any flashable stuff on that tablet will be external to the soc
<Mangy_Dog>
nods probebly
<Mangy_Dog>
still
<Mangy_Dog>
no idea how to flash it :D
<Mangy_Dog>
at the very least id need to repare the bootloader
<Mangy_Dog>
but ideally install the uefi windows friendly bios version onto this tab
<Mangy_Dog>
from what i can tell the windows version and android version is entirely identical hardware
<Mangy_Dog>
just different bootloader/bioss
<apritzel>
Mangy_Dog: well, nobody said that hacking a tablet would be a walk in the park ;-)
<apritzel>
typically you update those BIOSes when the device is up and running, under Linux with flashrom, for instance
<Mangy_Dog>
indeed
<Mangy_Dog>
trouble is the normal way to flash it is via USB in fastboot
<Mangy_Dog>
or droidboot
<Mangy_Dog>
the yoga tab 2 that is
<Mangy_Dog>
but if the boot loader is corrupted you cant even get into fastboot
<Mangy_Dog>
soooooooo
<Mangy_Dog>
no usb uploading :D
<apritzel>
as you said it: it's bricked!
<buZz>
Mangy_Dog: maybe you're lucky and the bootloader is on a SPI eeprom?
<buZz>
solder some wires to it, or get one of those pomonaclips
<buZz>
and flash it from a raspberry pi
<Mangy_Dog>
well i did wonder
<buZz>
did you open it yet?
<Mangy_Dog>
the trouble is the test pads on the motherboard are unmarked
<jernej>
warpme_: I did not get any firm reason why wowlan feature should be dropped, just that it's probably not very well tested and it's not really used
<jernej>
warpme_: it's easier just to reinit wifi at suspend/resume
<jernej>
I mean shutdown at suspend and reinit at resume

warpme_: I won't be really able to work on suspend/resume much, because only board I have with xr819, is H616 based, which doesn't support suspend/resume (yet)
