01:28 Punkley_Chillin this is me building new armhf packages for everything :(
01:28 dotarray you're doing a good job, Punkley_Chillin :)
01:28 dotarray i think you deserve a cup of tea and maybe a biscuit.
01:29 Punkley_Chillin I think your the person to make that happen.
03:02 Punkley_Chillin anyone here used marvel-ipp on hardfloat yet?
08:28 jnettlet Punkley_Chillin, I haven't used it on the Cubox, but use it for the XO 1.75
10:30 ralix morning
10:30 jnettlet morning. rainy Sunday
10:31 jnettlet good day for hacking :-)
10:32 ralix Here it's not raining, but I'm still waiting for my new Cubox: (
10:36 jnettlet ralix, still stuck in Customs?
10:38 ralix My first is broken, and the second is somewhere in Germany. Sorry, not for me at home;-)
10:39 ralix I hope I understood your question correctly, my english is not so good.
13:21 rmk_ can anyone provide any insight into the hwmon driver, and where the information for reading out 'vcore' and 'vcpu' came from - the armada510 manual lists these bits as 'reserved', and reading those sysfs files provokes an overtemp alarm (reported by the temp1_crit_alarm file)
13:22 rmk_ moreover, I'm wondering about the accuracy of those values... and if they're right, they could explain why my cubox keeps crashing under load
13:22 rmk_ /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon0/device/vcore:938
13:22 rmk_ /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon0/device/vcpu:954
13:24 rmk_ the hardware spec says for 800MHz, vdd_cpu should be 1.05-1.15v and vdd_core should be .95-1.05v
17:20 dung wow; greetings rmk_
17:29 rmk_ boo :)
17:31 rmk 17:31 * rmk_ fixes the dove pmu/rtc interrupt code not to set other interrupts... and hooks the pmu temperature interrupts so at least I should get a warning immediately if it goes over 90C.
18:51 rmk 18:51 * rmk_ curses the orion watchdog driver... if only it had been designed from the start so it could work across the orion range.

21:14 Kiranos first post :)
21:15 Kiranos thanks for great product
21:15 Kiranos geekbox still has a few issues, seems like sound goes out of sync when I fast forward etc
21:29 markg85 Hi all
21:30 markg85 I have a bit of an issue here.. I kinda screwed up the cubox when trying to install the Cubox Installer. I'm guessing my u-boot is broken since the led is in dim mode.
21:30 markg85 However, when i connect with a serial cable i don't see anything at all.
21:31 markg85 I did find "some" possible links that "might" work, but thus far everything ended up in no results.
21:34 markg85 Could anyone help me please?
21:35 markg85 rabeeh: ?
21:41 markg85 ..?
23:27 dbsx markg85 - follow the instructions at the wiki. If it dont work be prepared to repeat a few times.

23:28 rmk_ he's gone
23:29 rmk 23:29 * rmk_ finally gets his cubox playing back DVD quality mpeg2 without dying in less than a minute
23:29 rmk 23:29 * rmk_ curses the kirkwood audio driver for that.
23:37 dv_ with the hw decoder?
23:37 rmk_ doesn't seem to matter
23:38 dv_ it should for the CPU usage
23:38 rmk_ even vlc decoding to "text" via ssh... it still crashed with that so it doesn't seem to be sdram bandwidth related
23:38 rmk_ oh yes, for cpu usage it matters but not for causing the kirkwood audio driver to kill the kernel
23:38 dv_ oh :O
23:39 rmk_ vlc's currently running... deciding dvd quality video atm...
23:39 dv_ you know, sometimes I wish more platforms would just put some primitive I2C-connected DAC on the board , add a simple alsa driver with one volume control, and done
23:39 rmk_ 4745 cubox 20 0 161m 53m 34m S 37.9 7.5 28:12.70 vlc
23:39 rmk_ 3626 root 20 0 48364 31m 27m S 8.4 4.4 6:23.82 Xorg
23:40 dv_ as opposed to these uber-complicated USB-Audio based DSPs
23:40 dv_ errr, I2S-connected, not I2C
23:40 rmk_ that's almost what the cubox has...
23:40 dv_ almost?
23:41 rmk_ almost, because it's I2S out into toslink(spdif) and hdmi
23:41 dv_ hm
23:41 dv_ so there is some switch between spdif and hdmi?
23:41 rmk_ I've a toslink to rca converter... so don't need the tv for audio
23:42 rmk_ I think they're fed with the same I2S
23:42 rmk_ simultaneously
23:43 dv_ well it sounds simple then
23:44 dv_ how can a driver then kill the kernel?
23:44 rmk_ in this case...
23:45 rmk_ it signals a fifo underrun and raises an interrupt. the kernel services the interrupt, and returns, meanwhile the hardware immediately signals another underrun interrupt.
23:45 rmk_ the kernel services that interrupt... repeat until the cows come home.
23:48 rmk_ ah, haha, _that's_ the real reason why.
23:48 rmk 23:48 * rmk_ grumbles at this kirkwood code
23:48 rmk_ ok, so the underrun _doesn't_ raise an interrupt for us (we haven't hooked that interrupt in the driver)
23:49 rmk_ what instead happens is that we get a normal interrupt raised, check the error register, clear it and return _without_ servicing the normal interrupt which is still pending.
