| 11:16 | Snowbird | Anybody alive here? |
| 13:01 | dotarray | popping in very quickly before bed - we have a new blog post for you! |
| 13:01 | dotarray | if you're trying to work out which operating system to use, have you ever considered Nemo Mobile? :) |

| 13:06 | N30 | 13:06 * N30N wonders if he should get first first post… ;) |
| 13:06 | dotarray | ha :) |
| 13:06 | N30N | congrats on getting some content up :) |
| 13:15 | dotarray | thanks N30N - even more coming once i catch up on some sleep ;) |
| 13:15 | dotarray | new website very soon, and all sorts of fun stuff planned. |
| 13:15 | dotarray | right now though - sleepytime! |

| 15:24 | dv_ | hello |
| 15:25 | cbxbiker61 | hello |
| 15:26 | dv_ | anyone ever tried to build a rootfs & kernel with angstrom/openembedded? I did according to http://www.solid-run.com/mw/index.php/Angstrom_on_CuBox , and just get "undefined instruction" when trying to start the kernel |
| 15:27 | dv_ | I noticed in the cubox.conf file DEFAULTTUNE="armv7ahf" |
| 15:28 | dv_ | perhaps this is wrong, and it should be armv7a instead? |
| 15:29 | cbxbiker61 | yeah, i'd change that, also make sure that NEON is not enabled, i'm not sure if there is a NEON opt or not |
| 15:30 | dv_ | fortunately, this one is explicitely disabled |
| 15:31 | dv_ | but now I have to rebuild everything , since the instruction set changed to armv7a :| oh well, at least all the packages are downloaded already |
| 15:31 | dv_ | btw. I am curious. what is considered the "preferred" distro for cubox? arch? angstrom? debian? |
| 15:35 | cbxbiker61 | preferred is not a good word in this case, since different people prefer to use their favorite distro |
| 15:55 | rabeeh_ | dv_: once you get something; please consider writing a small installer script to auto download and install on CuBox. |
| 15:55 | rabeeh_ | http://www.solid-run.com/mw/index.php/CuBox_Installer |
| 15:56 | dv_ | hmm |
| 15:56 | dv_ | okay, also, does armv7l imply armv7a? |
| 15:57 | dv_ | or is armv7l compatible with armv7a? |
| 15:58 | bencoh | hm, I was planning on working with OE on cubox, haven't had the time yet. glad to see someone else is interested :) |
| 15:59 | dv_ | well I let it build in the background. which is fine for me, since I am currently studying for an exam :) |
| 16:00 | bencoh | :) |
| 16:03 | rabeeh_ | dv_ good luck with the exam |
| 16:03 | dv_ | oh one other issue: |
| 16:03 | rabeeh_ | armv7l stands for the little-endian version of the binaries |
| 16:03 | dv_ | (thanks btw) |
| 16:04 | dv_ | I had to put in a hack into the kernel OE recipe , otherwise it reports a QA error because of a .debug dir created somewhere |
| 16:25 | cbxbiker61 | fx-8350 is sold out on amazon and newegg, there must be a good demand for it |
| 16:43 | dv_ | oh rabeeh_, any reason why we have to use that forked kernel? |
| 16:43 | dv_ | are there efforts to mainline cubox support underway? |
| 16:46 | suihkulokki | dv_: there are efforts, but some drivers are quite too ugly to be mainlined anytime soon |
| 17:00 | rabeeh_ | dv_: for today the GPU driver will never hit mainline. Russel King already have nicer vmeta kernel driver that works through char device (and not uio) that will be mainlined. |
| 17:00 | rabeeh_ | Besides that shesselba (on #cubox) is the main guy infront of kernel-arm |
| 17:00 | rabeeh_ | i hope that withint few months you can download any kernel, patch it with GPU driver and it should work. |
| 17:08 | dv_ | that would be cool |
| 17:08 | dv_ | or better yet, build the driver as a kernel module |
| 19:08 | dv_ | should I use hardfp or softfp? |
| 22:12 | dv_ | I guess building a softfp rootfs + kernel wont play well with the cubox, hm? |
