| 06:40 | Juggie | rabeeh: the on cubox-i has a typo... unless its intentional. Little is Little not Litle |
| 06:40 | Juggie | (on the web site i mean) |
| 09:26 | pacolm | a |
| 09:30 | MikeSeth | topic seems desynced here |
| 09:30 | cbxbiker61 | it seems i have finally wrapped my head around the interactions of tvheadend and demuxing channels |
| 09:31 | cbxbiker61 | i've got quite a patched up version of the kernel/tvheadend/userhdhomerun |
| 09:31 | MikeSeth | how well documented is cubox hardware? Is there a lot of reverse engineering and guesswork involved when working with it? |
| 09:32 | cbxbiker61 | which part of it? |
| 09:32 | MikeSeth | well, network adapters and video/3d would be my first guess |
| 09:33 | cbxbiker61 | only the video blobs are an issue, everything else is open |
| 09:36 | cbxbiker61 | i had to hack in some stuff to get tvheadend to deal with hdhomerun3_cablecard, which seemed to work fine on my |
| 09:36 | cbxbiker61 | regular hdhomeruns, but then i realized that tvheadend can pull multiple channels out of a single mux, so i changed that |
| 09:37 | cbxbiker61 | unfortunately the cablecard boxes can only decode one channel per mux, so i have to treat that as a special case |
| 09:37 | rabeeh | Juggie: i'm looking for it |
| 09:38 | rabeeh | which URL? |
| 10:56 | MikeSeth | http://www.ebay.com/itm/CuBox-Pro-Now-with-2GB-DDR3-RAM-The-Little-Computer-that-Can-only-2-square-/181102505711?pt=UK_Computing_Other_Computing_Networking&hash=item2a2a8ceeef |
| 10:56 | MikeSeth | ain't it clever |
| 12:40 | purch | cbxbiker61: which card reader you use? |
| 12:41 | purch | DHL: "Shipment information received" :) |
| 12:44 | jnettlet | purch, congratulations |
| 13:05 | purch | now I just need to steal/negotiate time |
| 13:05 | Bluerise | purch: Got mine, too. :) |
| 13:34 | rabeeh | congrats |
| 13:34 | rabeeh | we are shipping more dev boards tomorrow |
| 13:56 | jnettlet | rabeeh, do you plan to only support the sdhc card at sd2 on the carrier one platform? |
| 13:56 | rabeeh | yes. |
| 13:57 | rabeeh | why? want another sd? |
| 13:59 | jnettlet | nope. just working out the uboot 2013 code and most the mx6 stuff loops through all the ports to find the boot device. Before I ripped it out I wanted to make sure it wouldn't be needed later. |
| 14:38 | ralix | MORNING |
| 15:02 | Juggie | rabeeh, main page. |
| 15:02 | dv_ | jnettlet: are you porting rabeeh's uboot 2009.08 patches to uboot 2013? |
| 15:02 | jnettlet | dv_, yep. |
| 15:03 | Juggie | rabeeh: The CuBox i From SolidRun | The Litle Computer that can <- Little |
| 15:04 | jnettlet | dv_, seems like a lot of the current imx6 work is being done there, so figured I would spend some time getting caught up on the new u-boot |
| 15:04 | dv_ | jnettlet: nice |
| 15:04 | dv_ | jnettlet: I very much prefer using that one, since it also supports uEnv.txt and ext4 |
| 15:05 | dv_ | it also makes things easier for otavio and the other meta-fsl-arm maintainers |
| 15:05 | jnettlet | also my thoughts. Now if only it supported f2fs |
| 15:36 | Bluerise | If it only supported ffs... |
| 18:00 | cbxbiker61 | purch, which card reader for what? |
| 18:00 | purch | cable stuff |
| 18:01 | purch | I used to have cable card in my vdr system; now I have tvheadend in my old server, but would be nice to put it to cubox-i |
| 18:01 | cbxbiker61 | oh, i use the hdhomerun's, i've got 3 dual tuners here, and i've got a triple hdhomerun cablecard model at my brother's place |
| 18:02 | cbxbiker61 | hdhomeruns are ethernet based rather than usb/pci |
| 18:03 | cbxbiker61 | after tweaking the software for a couple of years on and off i've got them working very well |
| 18:06 | cbxbiker61 | i actually rewrote the code that interacts with the devices, it's right up my alley being c++ |
| 18:10 | purch | hmm, I looks good |
| 18:15 | purch | cbxbiker61: how do you record programs? |
| 18:16 | cbxbiker61 | tvheadend has a web frontend, that's how i do it most of the time, my brother on the otherhand usually selects the programs from the xbmc user interface |
| 18:17 | cbxbiker61 | the web frontend is good for scheduling reaccuring events |
| 18:17 | purch | tvheadend runs in? |
| 18:18 | purch | I have used vdr for 4 years and tvheadend last 2 years |
| 18:18 | purch | how is tvheadend connected to hdhomerun? |
| 18:19 | cbxbiker61 | i run tvheadend on my master server, after every recording i queue a x264 transcode |
| 18:19 | cbxbiker61 | hang on a sec |
| 18:20 | purch | transcode to save space? |
| 18:20 | cbxbiker61 | yeah, also small devices all work with h264, whereas mpeg support may be lacking |
| 18:21 | purch | yeah |
| 18:21 | purch | sounds good |
| 18:22 | cbxbiker61 | http://www.xilka.com/xilka/source/HdHr-0.0.13a.tar.xz |
| 18:22 | cbxbiker61 | that's my rewritten code that ties tvheadend to the hdhomeruns |
| 18:23 | cbxbiker61 | my tvheadend code is slightly patched, as well as a couple of lines in the kernel |
| 18:28 | purch | 299 EUR a piece, I have to check if it supports my cable provider |
| 18:29 | cbxbiker61 | i'll get you those patches for tvheadend and the kernel if you need them |
| 18:37 | purch | nce, I have to look in to that |
| 18:37 | purch | nice |
| 20:37 | cbxbiker61 | rabeeh, i just received my cubox-i dev board, thanks for that |
| 20:47 | dv_ | I am confused by the image at the bottom http://imx.solid-run.com/wiki/index.php?title=Carrier-One_Hardware |
| 20:48 | dv_ | GND is pin 1, 3.3V is pin 2, pin 25 is TX, pin 26 RX? |
| 20:49 | dv_ | the text mentions "Pin 8" and "pin 10", but refers to pins 25 and 26 |
| 20:50 | dv_ | ... oh wait. I misunderstood the image to the right. |
| 20:53 | dv_ | the raspberry pi configuration is compatible to the carrier one, right? at least regarding the serial connection: http://elinux.org/images/2/2a/GPIOs.png |
| 20:54 | cbxbiker61 | dv_, pretty sure that is correct |
| 21:16 | dv_ | ah. indeed |
| 21:16 | dv_ | got a serial console \o/ |
| 21:50 | jnettlet | dv_, you get your serial port connection sorted out? |
| 21:51 | dv_ | yes |
