| 10:07 | rabeeh | ajayr: ping |
| 11:32 | rabeeh | dotarray: welcome |
| 11:32 | rabeeh | :) |
| 11:44 | dotarray | hello! :) |
| 14:58 | Fuchs | rabeeh: was asleep. Are you around for a short query? :) |
| 15:10 | rabeeh | yes |
| 15:55 | N30N | rabeeh: oh the >2TB thread you asked for more details: http://pastebin.com/ZhAjqSKE |
| 15:55 | N30N | What additional info can I/we provide? |
| 16:13 | ajayr | rabeeh - hello |
| 16:39 | rabeeh | hey ajayr |
| 16:45 | ajayr | did you see my questions regarding u-boot? |
| 16:46 | ajayr | I am unable to change and save ethaddr in uboot via serial console |
| 16:49 | rabeeh | yes. |
| 16:49 | rabeeh | what you need to do is setting addresses 0xf10d0000 and 0xf10d0004 (first 6 bytes) to be your MAC address. |
| 16:50 | rabeeh | are you using latest and greatest u-boot (oct-3) |
| 16:50 | rabeeh | ? |
| 16:50 | ajayr | yes in fact for the first time I am using a binary build directly for testing |
| 16:50 | rabeeh | :) |
| 16:50 | ajayr | all these days I would mod the source with my env vars and rebuild |
| 16:51 | ajayr | it works fine for all the normal stuff I can see sdcard usb and ide |
| 16:51 | ajayr | ide can see both disks |
| 16:51 | ajayr | ide cannot see big volume >1TB |
| 16:52 | ajayr | but for months now I am bugged by my inability to set config vars |
| 16:52 | rabeeh | in u-boot? (1TB) |
| 16:52 | ajayr | yes |
| 16:53 | ajayr | i have 1 4G part and 1 1.8G part ext4ls can see files in 1st but not second |
| 16:53 | rabeeh | the u-boot we have is quite an old one. |
| 16:53 | rabeeh | shesselba have a working one from git |
| 16:53 | rabeeh | https://github.com/shesselba/u-boot-dove.git |
| 16:54 | rabeeh | it's an upstream port to CuBox. |
| 16:54 | ajayr | ok I will build and test that and give feedback, does it bot from sdcard? |
| 16:54 | ajayr | boot from sd? |
| 16:55 | ajayr | or be safe and first try the uart version? |
| 16:57 | rabeeh | i think shesselba already have bubt up and running |
| 16:57 | rabeeh | (download from tftp and flash the new u-boot). |
| 16:57 | ajayr | also can you tell me if there is a chance for the 2GB cubox before Dec 2012. I will need 2-3 in Jan is there a point in waiting for 2GB? |
| 16:57 | rabeeh | to be honest i haven't touched that. |
| 16:58 | rabeeh | ajayr: we still don't have 2GB up and running. |
| 16:58 | rabeeh | we have been investing our time on XBMC now. |
| 16:58 | rabeeh | (and lots of other stuff). |
| 16:58 | rabeeh | but if there is no hardware issue; 2GB should be before Dec 2012. |
| 16:59 | ajayr | i have mostly finished porting our app to fedora-17 and demos are ongoing |
| 16:59 | ajayr | cross fingers and hope to have first round of orders from customer for trails |
| 16:59 | ajayr | trials and then deployment |
| 17:00 | rabeeh | great. |
| 17:00 | rabeeh | can we do something to get fedora-17 into the installer? |
| 17:00 | rabeeh | it's really as simple as writing tiny script to direct the installer what to do. |
| 17:00 | ajayr | its very easy, just start with a rootfs from them and add a kernel |
| 17:01 | ajayr | snag is fedora kernel needs some special options selinux, audit cgroups etc etc |
| 17:01 | rabeeh | http://dl.dropbox.com/u/72661517/CuBox/installer/Arch/install-arch |
| 17:01 | rabeeh | that's an example of the Arch installer |
| 17:02 | rabeeh | ajayr: i'm flooded with work; any help from the community is blessed. |
| 17:03 | ajayr | OK will try and work on that and fix it for you, I was in any case goint to experiment with f18 alpha next week |
| 17:04 | ajayr | how do we handle kernel? I am currently building 3.5.7 from my local tree and I could send you files to host on solid-run.com |
| 17:04 | rabeeh | i will host anything you want. |
| 17:04 | rabeeh | on download.solid-run.com |
| 17:04 | ajayr | ok good I will start woring on it |
| 17:05 | rabeeh | for the MAC address; it is stored on first 8 bytes on address 0x000d0000 on the starting of the SPI flash |
| 17:05 | rabeeh | 0x000d0000 is the MSB |
| 17:05 | rabeeh | 0x000d0005 is the LSB |
| 17:05 | rabeeh | and you need to read them byte by byte |
| 17:06 | rabeeh | https://github.com/rabeeh/u-boot/commit/f826edd032af9082887bdd1a8f3e6653d2195051 |
| 17:06 | rabeeh | that's the commit. |
| 17:06 | rabeeh | please read the notes on the commit how to program the MAC address manually |
| 17:08 | ajayr | we will replace the arch rootfs with this http://scotland.proximity.on.ca/arm-nightlies/vault/f17arm-latest-armhfp-console.tar.xz |
| 17:09 | ajayr | and I will work out a kernel package in a day or so |
| 17:09 | ajayr | after that I will test and send you |
| 17:09 | ajayr | ok got it MSB to LSB and all 8 bytes |
| 17:10 | rabeeh | ajayr: you don't need to replace the arch rootfs; they all simply live all together |
| 17:10 | rabeeh | this file - |
| 17:10 | rabeeh | http://dl.dropbox.com/u/72661517/CuBox/installer/dist.list |
| 17:10 | ajayr | i was confused by the example since I was looking for the 00:50:43 prefix |
| 17:11 | rabeeh | holds all distros available; i will simply add yours to the list. |
| 17:12 | rabeeh | my goal is to get the installer on hdmi; read that file (dist.list) which will guide the installer which distros are available. |
| 17:12 | ajayr | OK i will download the source and follow along hopefully by wed we will have something |
| 17:13 | ajayr | oh I am presntly not using hdmi, my kernel is setup without gfx and 1GB ram, and console installer should work anyway |
| 17:14 | rabeeh | ajayr: just sent you an email |
| 17:14 | rabeeh | oh; so it's a headless setup then |
| 17:15 | ajayr | ok i have just fired a git clone of installer and will see how it works |
| 17:16 | ajayr | my project did not need video out initialy, and also the with problems with hfp video drivers on the forum I have never bothered to try |
| 17:16 | rabeeh | ok. |
| 17:16 | rabeeh | i understand this; but i have some updates. |
| 17:17 | ajayr | will have to leave for 30min will be back later, bye for now. |
| 17:17 | rabeeh | geexbox (with the help of tomlohave) have now hardfp GPU and vmeta working |
| 17:17 | rabeeh | ok. please reply to my email once you are ready. |
| 17:17 | rabeeh | have a safe drive. |
| 17:22 | bencoh | "native", or using gst ? |
| 17:24 | rabeeh | native |
| 17:24 | rabeeh | blu-ray ~35Mbps works for me too |
| 17:25 | rabeeh | but with stereo audio channel |
| 17:40 | markus___ | hello |
| 17:41 | rabeeh | hi |
| 18:10 | shesselba | ajayr: I have mainline u-boot running with sdhc, eth, spi, and sata running. It is not yet in the github tree but will see if I can upload it tomorrow. |
| 18:10 | shesselba | rabeeh: for the mac region in spi flash, I though it would be a good idea to have some magic, e.g. "SRun" and board revision stored there.. |
| 18:28 | rabeeh | shesselba: we have board rev implemented by resistors pullups |
| 18:29 | shesselba | ok |
| 19:14 | rabeeh | N30N: i'm looking at the log; and can't really figure out what happened. |
| 19:14 | rabeeh | can u try with other partiotion table type? (i.e. not gpt but simple msdos) |
| 19:15 | rabeeh | and i'm assuming the gpt is built with the kernel (i.e. static and not loadable kernel module) |
| 19:30 | N30N | rabeeh: tested and msdos works fine. |
| 19:31 | avjui | ping rabeeh |
| 19:32 | rabeeh | avjui: pong |
| 19:32 | rabeeh | N30N: so it's partition table type related. |
| 19:32 | rabeeh | do you build with gpt statically part of the kernel? |
| 19:33 | N30N | rabeeh: yep it's built in |
| 19:33 | avjui | hi until today i don't have become any mail from riki (RMA) |
| 19:36 | rabeeh | avjui: she must have sent the email to technical support. |
| 19:36 | rabeeh | let me check |
| 19:39 | avjui | thanks |
| 19:42 | N30N | Ah wait "# CONFIG_EFI_PARTITION is not set", I guess that's the issue? Will enable and see. |
| 21:58 | N30N | rabeeh: yep, that's all that was needed. You want to let them know on the forum or shall I? |
| 22:04 | N30N | Another issue I've been having is the USB ports don't always work when eSATA is being used (doesn't seem to have enought power). |
