| 07:55 | Coburn | cbxbiker61, does your Xilka.com kernels for the cubox support HDMI ? |
| 07:56 | Coburn | for example, can I output Xorg to the HDMI port? Or do I need to use a 3.5/3.6 kernel for HDMI? The reason I ask is one of my clients needs HDMI out to a 7" monitor. |
| 07:56 | Coburn | And I noted going back a while a open-source GPU driver was in the works from a developer here. |
| 10:10 | jcarlos | Can someone, please, tell me how many cubox-i pro are going to be distributed in this first release? |
| 17:52 | OrionPKM | hey guys.. are there recommended SD cards to purchase w/ cubox? |
| 17:52 | OrionPKM | I have a sandisk extreme w/ my RBPI |
| 18:15 | jnettlet | OrionPKM, I did a bunch of testing with various machines a while ago. I found the Sandisk Ultra were some of the most performant. Especially with 4k block transfers which is important for running Linux. |
| 18:16 | jnettlet | There were claims that you had to buy the one that said 30MB/s in the title, although I did not test the ones that did not, so can't say if there is a difference. |
| 18:20 | OrionPKM | the one im looking at claims 45mb/s |
| 18:21 | OrionPKM | jnettlet do most people use external storage? |
| 18:23 | jnettlet | OrionPKM, yes but that maximum is for large consecutive writes, like for storing video or large images. The firmware on some cards can do that just fine but writing smaller block sizes is horribly slow which makes Linux lag lag lag. |
| 18:24 | jnettlet | With the Cubox-i you have to use an SDHC card to load u-boot. If you want access to a lot of storage then using an eSata drive would make the most sense. |
| 18:27 | OrionPKM | you think the 30mb/s ultra is faster than the 45mb/s extreme? |
| 18:30 | jnettle | 18:30 * jnettlet shrugs. When doing my tests it was very hit and miss even between same brand. |
| 18:39 | jnettle | 18:39 * jnettlet feels so used. People always getting an answer and then logging back off. Never any pillow talk |
| 18:39 | hste | jnettlet: so you like smaltalks.. :) |
| 18:40 | jnettlet | hste, just entertaining myself on a Friday night. |
| 18:40 | hste | jnettlet: any new patches? |
| 18:41 | jnettlet | hste, nothing consumable yet. Still a couple of bugs and lots of cleanup to do. |
| 18:42 | jnettlet | hste, how is Norway? I still need to make it over there to visit. Not now though, way too cold. |
| 18:43 | hste | it hasn't been so cold yet |
| 18:43 | hste | but windy |
| 18:44 | jnettlet | you guys have lots of oil though. cold is no problem. |
| 18:46 | hste | and our houses is built to be warm. the oil is mostly exported :) no cheap oil for the consumers.... |
| 18:48 | hste | jnettlet: where r u located? |
| 18:48 | jnettlet | hste, ?rhus Denmark currently. |
| 18:52 | hste | Havn't been in ?rhus since 1990 |
| 18:53 | jnettlet | I am sure it hasn't changed, this is Denmark. They are just hitting where the rest of the world was in 1990 |
| 18:54 | jnettlet | Actually that isn't fair ?rhus is undergoing a big downtown construction revamp thing. |
| 19:02 | hste | jnettlet: what imx6 devices do u have? |
| 19:03 | jnettlet | hste, just the carrier-1 currently. Although I am getting more and more emails asking for help with other boards. |
