Hi to all, I am trying to find any difference between this to boards. Is there any? I am asking this because all the code provided with DVDs are made for a small board (mini6410). The fact that both boards can run the same code is no more a mystery for me, but i will appreciate if some else can confirm this. thanks!
Hiya, Same code runs on a same CPU core ofcoz, however.. Some hardware opt's for mini aren't avialable for tiny (I believe!), so it's just CE/Tux/Android drivers that won't respond to missing stuff, just check their resp. datasheets for specific details, if it's available they're basically wired the same.. If you're a hardware dev., you may wanna choose for tiny becoz it's CPU stamp-PCB can be easely upgraded and becoz of missing on-board hardware you've got some extra free I/O for your own designs.. I've choosen my mini becoz I'm more a software dev. and it's verry complete, however.. Also for my hardware designs I haven't encountered critical limmits.. YET.. (I've FOUND my 4 chann. audio DAC's over ISP-port running fine for example!) Depends on what y're up to ofcoz.. Just a matter of personal strategy I guesse.. ^x^ ..!
Thanks Margarine, Yea I've checked the schematic and in fact there are a few pin which are not connected.Why i am asking this questions? - to start with i was on a mission to run Android from the SD card and in theory this is not a big deal but I've got problems running it. - Android image on Tiny6410B-201011 (DVD) didn't work at all (Display was black and in the console its stopped in the calibration - always failed. i used "u-boot_sd-ram256.bin" and "rootfs_android.ext3" ) - Android image on Tiny6410B-110326 (DVD) worked and i was able to run Android, but any app I started I got the "application failed" in this case I've used "u-boot_sd-ram256.bin" and "rootfs_android.ext3" So at the moment I am compiling my own android, crating my own ext3 image. Did anyone had the same problem running Android from SD card? Thx, Sasha
=) I think i found the problem. Still not sure why images on Tiny6410B-201011 are not working (display issue) but i found that u-boot_sd-ram256.bin or u-boot_nand-ram256.bin images are cause Android to fail when try to start apps. so @ the moment i have managed to make Android running from SD and from NAND.
Hmmm, intresting..
I remember reading something bout differences depend on amount of RAM. It
seems to use different size of memory blocks or alocating differently; the
difference between 128Mb ("Old type") and.. 256Mb ("Newer type"), again..
*sighs* .. I THINK.. I forgot where I got if from.. :( .. I was actualy
planning to buy a Tiny as a reference too, so..
Big THANKS for preventing me to make this same 1st.-time-user mistake.. ^x^
, coz with my Mini I guesse I was just lucky picking the first ones (128)
from the start to try out without knowing bout the issue (And becoz my
sales person told me todo, he didn't told me WHY.. ;) ..!)
