13:13 Thirsty Vegar: CuBox uses VMETA inside the processor the decode the video.
17:06 Thirsty are there any new development to announce? It seems a bit quiet last week.
19:00 Vegar so the solid-run supplied xbmc is able to decode video using hardware acceleration?
19:26 fser hi
19:26 fser I'm trying to install geexbox on my cubox, but I can't make it boot anymore :(
19:27 fser I did try both scripts (the one that creates 2 partitions, and the one that creates only one) but nothing changes.
19:27 fser I'm trying the last stable release aka 3.0

20:14 Vegar does "800 MHz dual issue ARM PJ4 processor" mean it has two 800 MHz cores?
20:16 `jpi no
20:20 Vegar what's "dual issue" then?
20:21 rmull double the throughput of instructions through the CPU pipeline per clock
20:22 Vegar so in essence 1600 MHz?
20:23 `jpi no
20:24 `jpi it can issue a pair of instructions dependent on various factors
20:24 `jpi like they are data independent and other things
20:24 `jpi so in essence one instruction may execute in 0 cycle
20:30 Vegar ah
20:30 Vegar so 800-1600 MHz
20:31 Vegar (in essence)
20:37 rmull Vegar: two instructions per clock isn't really the same thing as 1600MHz, as `jpi explained.
20:38 Vegar just trying to continue on my analogy
20:38 rmull It's an oversimplification
20:40 Vegar analogies usually are
23:27 ZouKeeper Hello Everyone..
23:28 ZouKeeper Looking for some light about a cubox issue, is this the right place ?
23:29 rmull ZouKeeper: Yes
23:30 ZouKeeper great ! thank
23:31 ZouKeeper the flash looks bad, the thing won'T boot by itself. I got geexbox running, but only if I upload the uart via xmodem first
23:31 ZouKeeper it won't boot by itself, what am I missing ?
23:40 ZouKeeper ok, le me be more precise... boot/boot.scr will not run. that is as far as I got :
23:40 ZouKeeper CuBox>> fatload usb 0:1 ${bootaddr} /boot/u-boot.bin
23:40 ZouKeeper Device NOT ready
23:40 ZouKeeper Request Sense returned 00 00 00
23:40 ZouKeeper ** Can't read from device 0 **
23:40 ZouKeeper ** Unable to use usb 0:1 for fatload **
23:40 ZouKeeper CuBox>>
23:40 ZouKeeper ****
23:40 ZouKeeper scanning bus for devices... 2 USB Device(s) found
23:40 ZouKeeper Waiting for storage device(s) to settle before scanning...
23:40 ZouKeeper scanning bus for storage devices... Device NOT ready
23:40 ZouKeeper Request Sense returned 00 00 00
23:40 ZouKeeper 1 Storage Device(s) found
23:40 ZouKeeper anyone ?
23:50 captainigloo did you tried with a sdcard ?
