04:41 jnettlet flips, there is no virtualization extension on the iMX6, sorry. Your best bet is to run openelec in a docker container if you want it separated from the CoreOS
04:45 jnettlet As for booting from USB, well you can but not a USB disk. If the sdhc card isn't present then the Chip will go into recovery mode and you can boot it via the USB otg port. This is the linux version of one of the tools you can use https://github.com/eewiki/imx_usb_loader
04:46 jnettlet the HummingBoard Edge will have a jumper so you can select booting directly from the various methods, USB OTG, SDHC, EMMC, SATA
12:09 flips jnettlet: Ah, makes sense. Thanks :)
14:11 jnettlet vpeter, were you having problems with a pcie card? I just pushed a fix for some pcie cards not being detected properly
14:20 flips is it just me, or did lots of the solid-run wiki pages just disappear?
14:22 malte a new wiki went online
14:39 vpeter jnettlet: no pcie for me. It is available on tbs matrix but don't have any mini card and also not any adapter for "normal" ones.
14:41 flips new wiki looks nice, but I seem to have to search to find most stuff, expected more links to stuff from the fp (I just barely used the old wiki for one day, so I don't really know it) :)
16:39 jnettlet vpeter, okay must have been someone else.
16:40 jnettlet Whoever complained the new 3.14.yy kernel was not working with certain pcie cards. It should not be fixed.
18:53 vpeter my lvds problem: http://sprunge.us/KiRD
18:53 vpeter ldb ldb.14: LVDS channel1 is not online
18:53 vpeter mxc_sdc_fb fb.17: NO mxc display driver found!
18:54 jnettlet vpeter, what chip is this?
18:55 vpeter current device tree http://pastebin.com/KsH4Q6GQ
18:55 jnettlet oh a quad
18:55 vpeter Yes.
18:55 vpeter Seems some mixup with fb device.
18:57 vpeter If I use video=mxcfb1 there are no more this 2 errors but no image also.
18:58 jnettlet vpeter, yeah you are only aliasing one framebuffer, and I think you may have them overlapping
18:58 jnettlet remember that whatever is aliases as fb0 you must alias the next as fb2 unless you are mirroring displays
18:59 vpeter Like this I have with current kernel and it works.
18:59 vpeter No mirroring - just one output I need.
18:59 vpeter Don't understand the relationship with fb, ipu, ...
19:00 jnettlet a framebuffer is the memory that holds the scan out buffers and a device to wireup output from it.
19:01 jnettlet the reads to and from that, including passing it along to whatever signaling you are doing, hdmi, lvds etc.
19:06 flips hm, running via hdmi on my large monitor, the console and X ends up half and inch outside the monitor edge ... in Kodi I can adjust it, but is there a way in regular console/fb/X setup?
19:14 flips docker works nicely in armhf? (I haven't used other containers than zones in opensolaris, jails in bsd and chroot and in Linux, oh and UML, user mode linux years ago)
19:16 jnettlet flips, it isn't supported, but you can get it to run. It doesn't use anything hardware specific so their is really no limitation.
19:16 jnettlet It basically does all its segmentation via platform agnostic kernel layers.
19:16 jnettlet vpeter, okay your dts looks a bit out of whack. You have a lot of framebuffers turned on and overlapping that you don't need.
19:19 jnettlet vpeter, you only have a single a channel lvds display hooked up correct?
19:23 flips jnettlet: Ok, thanks. :)
19:24 flips Are there overscan settings or what it's called for fb? Xorg?
19:24 jnettlet flips, if you are looking for a web management gui then check out the work fedora has done with project atomic. It is a pretty straightforward compile and has some decent functionality
19:24 jnettlet flips, we only have digital outputs so there shouldn't be much overscan problems.
19:25 jnettlet what is the native resolution of your display?
19:25 flips It's 1900x1200 native, but I think always 1900x1080 on hdmi
19:26 flips and on that monitor the text is half an inch off the screen to the left, so I don't see the prompt ... :)
19:26 flips After I get it configured, only Kodi will run in the front, I guess, so it shouldn't matter
19:27 jnettlet can you pastebin the output of fbset -i ?
19:29 flips Ah, I will, when I get it back to that monitor. I had to switch to the office monitor to see the screen and use ethernet until I got wlan up
19:31 jnettlet sure no problem
19:41 vpeter jnettlet: Yes, single channel lvds.
19:43 jnettlet vpeter, okay so trim it down to a single fbdev device by setting status="disabled" for all the others, and then alias the fbdev to be fb0
19:43 jnettlet then you have two &ldb0 entries. remove the first one completely.
19:43 jnettlet and then lets see where that gets you
19:50 flips jnettlet: http://pastebin.com/4AJKtq9i
19:51 vpeter jnettlet: for alias you mean only mxcfb0 = &mxcfb1;
20:13 vpeter jnettlet: ok, no change. Seems those parameters are old and not used anymore. How to convert to new format?
20:13 vpeter ipu_id = <1>;
20:13 vpeter disp_id = <0>;
20:13 vpeter ext_ref = <1>;
20:13 vpeter mode = "sep0";
20:13 vpeter sec_ipu_id = <1>;
20:13 vpeter sec_disp_id = <1>;
20:14 vpeter first two are this? crtc = "ipu1-di0";
20:14 vpeter and last two crtcs ?
20:14 vpeter How about mode?
20:24 flips jnettlet: that pastebin was the fbset -i (and also xdpyinfo in X)
