00:38 christianjwaite hey guys
00:38 christianjwaite and girls?
00:39 christianjwaite Has anyone any information/links on setting the uboot to load the ethernet driver etc
00:39 christianjwaite I have no network connection
08:12 Kiranos Sage_: any update on the mer compatibility project?
09:53 xxfog good morning / day everyone
10:06 jnettlet xxfog, morning, did you cubox decide to work today?
10:08 xxfog jnettlet: i wish it did, but no :-( no change from yesterday till now
10:09 xxfog I tried it 20 minutes ago
10:09 jnettlet xxfog, but you did have it running briefly again?
10:10 Sage_ Kiranos: hi. Well got the 3d working as well but still haven't cleaned the project stuff.
10:11 Sage_ Kiranos: There was bugs in the Mer core that needed to be fixed to get better support. I'm hoping to cleanup the result in next couple of weeks or so.
10:12 xxfog nope :-( 2 days ago I was able to boot it short time after the help of dv505, you and dung, but than it crashed in kernel panics while booting geexbox (the last version, not the new 3.0) and scince than the led stays dimmed as a small dot. rabeeh tried to figure out problem yesterday but couldn`t help :-(
10:13 Sage_ Kiranos: sry, it has been hectic last month or so so haven't had much time to report on this matter. :/
10:13 xxfog jnettlet: did you follow rabeeh and me chatting here yesterday?
10:14 jnettlet xxfog, I did not
10:19 xxfog jnettlet: ah okay. Rabeeh gave me several tipps and advices how I should try to get uboot back on the box again. The u-boot on the box seems to be bricked. I wrote him what I did till that happend. Than we tried to transfer the uboot via serial on windows and linux but the result was still the same: transfer of the data works like a charm BUT after the transfer (when I have to press Enter) i should have "Cubox>>" in the console and that
10:20 xxfog able to run any command or write back the uboot into the cubox. Rabeeh said CPU, RAM and something else I don`t remember now, seems to work. He will discuss this with a collegue.
10:21 jnettlet xxfog, interesting.
10:22 xxfog @all Does anybody know if there is a way to transfer the uboot using the IO-PINS or by chaning a chip or someting else (hardware)?
10:22 xxfog I don`t want to give up (even because of the money I paid ;-) )
10:24 jnettlet xxfog, haven't looked at this board, but you would have to use a jtag programmer if recovery mode doesn't work.
10:25 xxfog hmmm okay I don`t have one.
10:30 xxfog wow they are expensice ;)
10:31 xxfog expensive sorry
10:42 jnettlet xxfog, yeah professional only
10:56 cmair xxfog: AFAIK u-boot resides in SPI flash. This chip could be replaced or reprogrammed using an external interface.
10:57 xxfog cmair: i guess it is soldered right?
10:57 cmair yes
10:58 cmair I would not do this without some experience with electronics.
11:01 xxfog I have had this stuff when i learned my job, but nor micro stuff like it is on that board ;) so i don`t have the technical equipment and i guess it will brick everything if i try ;)
11:04 xxfog I did not find another "mini pc" with serial ata, optical audio etc in the price region like cubox.
11:04 xxfog so i really want it working again ;-)
11:05 cmair well, if the serial data transfer is working fine, I can hardly immagine what could go wrong afterwards..
11:05 xxfog rabeeh says same ;-)
11:10 xxfog we tried tera term and putty in windows - we tried knoppix live-cd with putty and sx, everywhere the same behavior
11:11 cmair did you try minicom as well?
11:11 cmair not sure if it makes any difference
11:29 xxfog cmair: no what is minicom ?
11:32 Kiranos Sage_: no worries, just interested in trying out mer :D
11:35 Sage_ Kiranos: ok. There is couple of more things needed for Mer to get things working but those are already underway so looks good and should be possible to cleanup rest next week or so.
12:41 cmair xxfog: minicom is a serial terminal software
12:45 Sage_ screen /dev/ttyUSB0 115200 ;)
13:18 Punkley_Chillin hi all.
13:18 Punkley_Chillin screen works better then minicom
