IRC log of #cubox of Wed 19 Sep 2012. All times are in CEST < Back to index

00:59 shesselba rabeeh: got u-boot 2012.07 booting from uart. I ll clean up the patches and post them on the u-boot ml hopefully this week. I took the dram init sequence from your u-boot. The values look very conservative with respect to timing.. is dram timing tuned later on?
02:27 shesselba checked the dram timings, they are ok from what I checked. I ll enable sata and have a look at sdhci for dove, anything else missing?
02:28 shesselba I plan to have the spi flash contain u-boot and dtb for cubox, you want me to have something like a board specific data block in eeprom to store e.g. ethaddr and revision?
03:13 ajayr shesselba - would your branch also include lunman's ext4 stuff?
03:13 ajayr I am running that on my cubox and its OK but for the issue with saving config via serial
03:14 ajayr I want to try the new Fedora 18 Alpha on my cubox but I am waiting for a updated u-boot
06:35 dab_ rabeeh: it seems that the kernel requires CONFIG_DOVE_MRVL_BMM=y
06:35 dab_ and CONFIG_DOVE_VPU_USE_BMM=y for debian armhf
07:58 Cubox rabeeh: still nothing about my ac adaptator?
09:41 rabeeh shesselba: pong
09:41 rabeeh shesselba: great news :) you cracked it. did u use jtag? or trial and error?
09:43 rabeeh ajayr: shesselba branch native supports ext4
09:43 rabeeh ajayr: i patched the oldie u-boot with lundman's ext4 and added some spices.
09:44 rabeeh i'm going to release today with a preview on the installer to get initial feedback
09:48 cbxbiker61 hi rabeeh, so now we have a u-boot that can boot from a single ext4?
09:52 yaayaa hi all
09:53 yaayaa for those having the reboot problem, I found a workaround using shutdown -rn now command.
09:55 yaayaa N30N: Could you send me the file xbmc/interfaces/python/xbmcmodule/control.o please ? target compilation is nearly over but this one fails.
10:20 N30N yaayaa: I deleted my build directory last night, sorry.
10:22 yaayaa N30N: no pb, I will install the x-tools cross compilation framework. Thanks anyway.
11:13 shesselba rabeeh: trial and error ;) after I got it booting from the original u-boot, I tracked down the remaining issues with some debug putc .. I guess everybody does that with u-boot ;)
11:13 shesselba sata is working, usb is detected but doesn't power the jacks, sdhci, mpp, and gpio still missing
11:14 Thirsty hi all
11:15 shesselba cbxbiker61: I am mainlining dove/cubox into u-boot, you ll have everything that u-boot is capable of
12:04 Flooo hi =)
12:04 Thirsty hi
12:05 Flooo i got a prob with my box: tried to get node.js running, but it segfaults on launch
12:06 Flooo running debian wheezy with kernel from wiki
12:13 Flooo has anyone tried nodejs armhf package and got it working?
12:15 Thirsty i never tried nodejs
12:17 Flooo is there a wheezy running on your cubox?
12:24 Thirsty yup
12:26 Thirsty do you have some instructions to test your problem?
12:28 Flooo just install nodejs package from unstable and call nodejs on sh
12:29 Thirsty ok, i'll try, give me some time... +1 hours, it is almost lunch time
12:31 Flooo ok, don't hurry.. thx for help
12:32 Flooo i see. you're in the same timezone =)
12:41 Flooo_ re
13:02 Thirsty it is working
13:02 Thirsty root@cubox:~# nodejs
13:02 Thirsty > process.version
13:02 Thirsty 'v0.6.19'
13:02 mUniKeS hi
13:02 Thirsty hi
13:03 Flooo can't believe it :/
13:03 Flooo hi
13:04 Flooo root@cubox:~# nodejs
13:04 Flooo Segmentation fault
13:14 rabeeh Floo: which kernel are you sing?
13:14 rabeeh there is a vfp patch that you might be missing in the kernel
13:15 Flooo hi rabeeh. Thirsty just told me. I'm not trying a newer kernel
13:15 Flooo *now
13:17 Flooo I wanna thank u for your great work. I love this box =) yay!
13:17 rabeeh thanks.
13:17 rabeeh please post a thread on the forums :) we need positive feedback
13:18 rabeeh typically people post on the forums when they have negative feedback; and we now people are very much passionate with it :)
13:31 Flooo rabeeh: I'll do. You'll get my success story :)
15:41 Flooo_ rabeeh: maybe put a kernel without the VFP bug on the wiki page?
16:49 Flooo_ so silent in here..
16:52 ajayr woo thanks rabeeh - can you please add this one too https://github.com/lundman/u-boot/commit/03c8a0fb462e57fa53f0caf63ce1c0f6c6652140 and a fix for this in https://github.com/lundman/u-boot/commit/e50b9e3a4344b1b1502925680524ca42e82e52a7
16:53 ajayr makes it easy to change the boot priorities and also disable a specific device from being able to boot.
16:54 ajayr the second fix is also needed in any case u-boot counts partitions from 1 not 0
19:07 Flooo_ im off see u
