10:11 Riso Hello CuBox fans
10:11 Riso I am considering it however I have 2 things... According to youtube lab testing it consumes only 0.5mA ~ has anyone managed to power it via Samsung TV USB port? via http://www.amazon.com/StarTech-com-USB2TYPEM-Barrel-Power-Cable/dp/B003MQO96U
10:16 frilled 0.5A@5V, not mA :) That would be too cool .-)
10:37 Riso sorry that was a typo
10:37 Riso frilled: any thoughts on that?
10:41 Riso my 2nd q is regarding the crypto offloading... As per http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=CuBox#Cryptographic_Engines_and_Security_Accelerator_.28CESA.29 several encryption algorithms are offloaded by the cryptographic engines and the security accelerator which is to reduce CPU packet processing
10:41 Riso has anyone tested SSL performance for instance? idea is to stream video over ssl
10:42 frilled Nope. But .5A is USB spec, so it SHOULD work unless the device isn't really USB compliant. Ask rabeeh about the CuBox spec (max power draw), but I am quite sure it will suck up more than .5A on higher workloads.
10:43 frilled So, I'd say it's not guaranteed and you'd be better off with a dedicated power supply.
10:44 frilled can't say anything about ssl benchmarking.
10:44 dv505 the power supply is 2A@5V. Those extra amps are there to power USB devices
10:44 Riso would anyone be willing to test ssl for me on xbmc? i can provide a URL
10:45 dv505 .5A is probably without any attached devices
10:45 _rmk_ dv505: ever watched the current consumption of a platform while it boots?
10:45 Riso dv505: I do not plan to power ANY usb devices.. connectivity will be via onboard NIC - only output will be HDMI
10:46 Riso As per (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=twEoMYEJls4) it does not use more than 0.5
10:46 _rmk_ dv505: take a look at the graphs in http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/developer/build/result.php&type=boot&idx=907 and http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/developer/build/result.php&type=boot&idx=908
10:47 Riso The requested URL /developer/build/result.php&type=boot&idx=908 was not found on this server.
10:47 _rmk_ err, replace the first & with a ?
10:48 _rmk_ that what comes from manually having to stich it back together
10:50 Riso has anyone tested BR rip streamed with network?
10:50 _rmk_ I really should put the cubox on that some day
10:51 _rmk_ and I really ought to store the graphs rather than regenerating them needlessly
10:58 Riso are there any plans/roadmap for nextgen CuBox? with a stronger CPU?
