00:39 Coburn NotRelevant: that's cool and all
00:40 Coburn but GlobalScale have a track record of bad support
00:40 Coburn You change the OS, boom. No warranty.
00:40 Coburn In australia, that's illegal.
01:30 NotRelevant Coburn: do you have odroid ?
01:31 Coburn NotRelevant: Yes.
01:31 Coburn ODROID-U2
01:39 dmitrijus smilebox just looks gay.
01:54 Coburn That's what I said
01:54 Coburn looks creepy
01:54 Coburn I mean, the design but that face
06:52 Coburn For the record
06:52 Coburn http://coburndomain.net/2013/02/an-adventure-in-the-world-of-slackware-14/
07:07 DHowett Coburn: how do you like the U2? I think I cared more about the low-speed ehternet MAC than the quad-core ARM
07:08 DHowett (also, I didn't know you were a jailbreaker. Hello, from the world of jailbreaking! :P)
07:08 Coburn Hehe
07:08 Coburn I think the U2 has potiental
07:08 Coburn just don't like the ethernet being on a USB bus
07:09 Coburn also, just for the record
07:09 DHowett yeah, that was my major hangup :(
07:09 Coburn hxxp://cuboxwiki.info/index.php?title=Main_Page <- this is my own CuBox wiki. Please feel free to contribute to it; I have it there for a reason.
07:09 DHowett oh, awesome. thanks :D
07:09 Coburn replace the hxxp with http (stops spambots)
07:10 Coburn The reason is, that that wiki is meant to be friendly for newcomers
07:10 Coburn look at the solidrun wiki
07:10 Coburn it bamboozles you
07:10 Coburn Whereas with my wiki, I try to simplify it
07:10 DHowett yeah - this is an awesome resource
07:10 DHowett instabookmarked; thank you
07:10 Coburn Heh
07:10 Coburn I don't mean to compete with SolidRun's, but I try to use mine as a "easy instruction manual"
07:11 DHowett (I'm still waiting on my CuBox, but trying to pre-collect all necessary info)
07:11 DHowett right
07:11 Coburn Where as SolidRun is full of techobabble (don't tell rabeeh I said that)
07:11 DHowett ha
07:11 Coburn Do we really need the tech specs in a wiki?
07:11 Coburn Like this NXP chip can do X resolutions, here's the list and it can make you a sandwich and refuel your car and wash the dishes
07:11 Coburn Whereas on mine, it's just "powerful GPU"
07:12 Coburn :P
07:12 DHowett LOL. High-level overviews are nice, but only insofar as they go into features the user will care about
07:12 DHowett yeah, hah
07:12 DHowett anyway, thank you!
07:13 Coburn No worries, when you get yours, feel free to write up about
07:13 Coburn it
07:13 Coburn same with anyone here, feel free to contribute to mine
08:27 wumpus I think detailed specs are very important for a dev oriented box, although they obviously need to be 100% correct
08:28 wumpus someone could be planning to buy a device for some very specific function needing a specific feature, and then it can be important that the NXP chip can do XXX but not YYY
10:46 punkt j
11:34 rabeeh j
12:17 `jpi rabeeh: where do i get this document ?
12:17 `jpi 88SV581x-V7 PJ4 ARM v7 SheevaTM CPU Core Datasheet
21:35 dv_ rabeeh, do you know of this cubox kernel? https://github.com/vDorst/linux#readme
