IRC log of #cubox of Sat 12 Oct 2013. All times are in CEST < Back to index

00:15 dv_ jnettlet: oh nice
00:23 _rmk_ void__: you're following the instructions about pressing the little button while turning on?
00:23 _rmk_ robclark: its the same as the raspberry pi, and note that it's strictly 3.3v only
00:42 void__ _rmk_ yep well i followd them already ... i already created an post describing my situation at solid run forums
00:42 void__ viewtopic.php?f=7&t=1495
00:42 void__ well yes the last thing that im on now is, the cubox wont accept any .bin file send to it
00:43 void__ blocks dont match or something
00:47 _rmk_ what does stty -aF /dev/ttyUSB0 say?
00:50 void__ well that tells a lot here just usb connected no power supply @ cubox
00:50 _rmk_ it should tell a lot :)
00:50 void__ well with power at cubox nothing changes
00:50 void__ ok well thats good news :)
00:51 _rmk_ it won't change with/without power
00:51 void__ i see
00:51 _rmk_ its asking what the current settings for ttyUSB0 are on your computer
00:51 _rmk_ please check that it says "speed 115200 baud"
00:51 void__ speed is ok 115200
00:52 void__ baud yes
00:52 _rmk_ 3 lines below: -parenb -parodd cs8
00:52 void__ yep all of them
00:52 void__ cs8 hupl
00:53 _rmk_ ok, good.
00:53 _rmk_ just to make sure nothing silly is happening: also do this: stty -F /dev/ttyUSB0 raw
00:54 _rmk_ after that, then do: sx -vv u-boot-cubox_hynix_cubox_1GB_uart.bin < /dev/ttyUSB0 > /dev/ttyUSB0
00:55 _rmk_ and plug the power in while holding the little button down
00:57 void__ ok did all that, but still same problem occurs
00:57 void__ Wiederholungsversuch 0: Sektor nicht bestÃĪtigt
00:57 void__ sector not verified or something
00:58 void__ but well im sure i have v2 and the 1gb version
00:58 _rmk_ you should get it in English if you prefix the "sx" command with LANG=C :)
00:59 _rmk_ ok. when you press that little button, can you feel it "click" ?
01:00 void__ yep it clicks and well it already worked before but since i something of interrupted the last boot after flashing the bin this error occurs all the time
01:00 void__ btw how do i prefix commands ?
01:01 _rmk_ LANG=C sx -vv u-boot-cubox_hynix_cubox_1GB_uart.bin < /dev/ttyUSB0 > /dev/ttyUSB0
01:01 robclark _rmk_, yeah, r-pi is one thing I don't have.. I was hoping it would be same as arduino or beaglebone-black..
01:01 void__ ok thats easy :) thanks
01:02 robclark and my ifc6410 is yet again something different and custom
01:02 robclar 01:02 * robclark just picked up some jumper wires.. problem solved
01:03 _rmk_ yea, I had some wires with pin sockets I'd soldered on to them (rather than crimping) so I just re-used those and soldered them to other wires I had :)
01:03 _rmk_ keep meaning to make up a proper cable or something
01:03 void__ well i get now
01:03 void__ Xmodem sectors/kbytes sent: 0/ 0kRetry 0: NAK on sector
01:03 void__ Retry 0: NAK on sector
01:03 void__ repeats
01:05 _rmk_ hmm.
01:07 robclark had to pick up an extra u-sd card too.. it's nice having a microcenter in walking distance :-)
01:08 void__ where does the bin file for uart gets written ?
01:08 void__ is this a replaceable part if its dead ?
01:09 void__ i go my first cubox today ^^
01:12 _rmk_ what if you do: md5sum u-boot-cubox_hynix_cubox_1GB_uart.bin
01:13 ezequielgarcia Turl: hello
01:13 Turl hey ezequielgarcia
01:14 _rmk_ it should come out with: "552b15a996ea470753d72b5332c01abd u-boot-cubox_hynix_cubox_1GB_uart.bin"
01:14 void__ same as http://download.solid-run.com/pub/solidrun/cubox/u-boot/2009.08_5.4.4_SR1/aug-6-2013/
01:14 void__ 6b19fbc89b1a8ac452980c9f798eeab1 u-boot-cubox_hynix_cubox_1GB_uart.bin
01:15 void__ thanks for any help so far guys
01:17 _rmk_ hmm. what about: ls /dev/ttyUSB*
01:18 void__ well nothing just /dev/ttyUSB0 as expected#
01:20 _rmk_ I can't think of anything else to check at the moment
01:21 void__ well thanks though
01:21 _rmk_ you may try again tomorrow - earlier if you can when there may be more people around.
16:04 rabeeh void__: ping
16:40 _rmk 16:40 * _rmk_ mods his rpi case for the c1 - needs more than jnettlet's did - there's a post which fouls the regulator
16:40 jnettlet _rmk_, oh those posts in the bottom?
16:41 _rmk_ yep
16:41 jnettlet yeah I forgot I clipped those out.
16:41 jnettlet sorry
16:41 jnettle 16:41 * jnettlet should have photo documented it
16:46 jnettlet I just clipped those out with a pair of carpenters pincers. So quick I didn't even think about it.
16:47 jnettlet I guess the RPi has holes in the board that fit around those.
17:16 _rmk_ hdmi connector also seems to be slight off too
17:16 rabeeh _rmk_: have a picture for the regulator?
17:16 rabeeh hdmi is ok on my side
17:17 rabeeh the two issues i have today is rj45 should be 1.5mm to the inner side of the board; and the dual usb
17:18 _rmk_ rj45 is absolutely fine for me
17:18 _rmk_ the corner of the DPAK regulator is right where one of the board support posts are in this case
17:18 rabeeh can you take a picture?
17:18 _rmk_ and as you look into the hdmi, it's about 1mm too close to the left
17:19 _rmk_ yep, in a mo
17:24 _rmk_ http://www.home.arm.linux.org.uk/~rmk/cubox/IMG_1527.JPG
17:24 _rmk_ http://www.home.arm.linux.org.uk/~rmk/cubox/IMG_1528.JPG
17:24 _rmk_ that one you can see the position of the ether and usb
17:24 _rmk_ http://www.home.arm.linux.org.uk/~rmk/cubox/IMG_1529.JPG
17:24 _rmk_ those fit perfectly
17:25 _rmk_ http://www.home.arm.linux.org.uk/~rmk/cubox/IMG_1530.JPG
17:25 _rmk_ again, that's fine
17:25 _rmk_ http://www.home.arm.linux.org.uk/~rmk/cubox/IMG_1531.JPG
17:25 _rmk_ that shows the post which causes problems with the DPAK regulator
17:32 _rmk_ LED light pipes don't line up either
17:32 _rmk_ centres of the LEDs need to be where the T is on ACT
17:46 _rmk_ that's better, helps to plug the SD card back in for it to boot :)
17:50 _rmk_ http://www.home.arm.linux.org.uk/~rmk/cubox/IMG_1532.JPG - LEDs position
17:55 rabeeh 5 LEDs
17:55 rabeeh i think three can be managed
17:56 rabeeh the link and activity can be combined into a single led
17:57 rabeeh for the speed the board supports 10/100 or 10/100/1000
17:57 rabeeh so i'm not sure you can fit one LED to indicate which speed it is
17:58 rabeeh _rmk_: what is this background paper you have?
18:01 jnettlet oh that works much better. much easier to illustrate the problems with the translucent case.
18:07 _rmk_ rabeeh: a CAA frequency card - lists the frequencies for various aerodromes in the UK :)
18:08 jnettlet _rmk_, does the IR receiver work through the case?
18:09 _rmk_ I'll test in a moment
18:10 _rmk_ well... it does seem to
18:10 _rmk 18:10 * _rmk_ grumbles
18:10 _rmk_ g+ fail
18:11 _rmk_ "Your post was not shared. Please try again."
18:11 jnettlet never seen that. I guess the NSA scanner must be bogged down.
18:12 _rmk_ must be
18:13 _rmk_ remember, that's the only part of the american government that listens :)
18:13 _rmk 18:13 * _rmk_ adds the photos to an album first
18:15 _rmk_ that worked
18:16 dv_ well great. I saw a nasty race condition with the VPU happening about two days ago, and now it doesnt ever happen again
18:21 _rmk_ It's sitting on top of my N2100, which is powering the carrier-1
18:25 jnettlet I actually use a Verbatim Mediashare for my NAS. Nice little box actually. Marvell SOC inside.
18:35 _rmk_ jnettlet: yes, I think the N2100 suffers a bit in terms of internal bus bandwidth(s)
18:39 jnettlet the Mediashare also comes in a nice aluminum case. When everyone was going nuts over the pogoplug I was surprised it didn't get more fanfare.
18:39 jnettlet for just a little more money you got what I thought was a much nicer platform
18:44 jnettle 18:44 * jnettlet is secretly hoping that he can use a Cubox-i or Carrier One board to upgrade it.
