| 00:28 | cardiel | im running geexbox on cubox i4pro, but im not able to play 720p movies without stuttering, when playing from usb harddrive.. is there any other xbmc dist available that is able to play 720 and 1080p without stuttering? |
| 01:18 | MikeSeth | usb as in usb not esata? |
| 01:41 | mhoney_work | is there a debian release for the i4pro yet? |
| 01:46 | cardiel | MikeSeth: i used the usb port no esata |
| 01:47 | cardiel | im trying to flash the snapshot release of geexbox instead.. should i just unpack and dd http://download.geexbox.org/snapshots/geexbox-xbmc-imx6-cuboxi/latest/binaries.cuboxi/geexbox-devel-20140108-r16704.cuboxi.img-cubox-i4pro.xz ? |
| 01:50 | jmontleo | rabeeh, new u-boot tells me 'spl: wrong boot mode" any idea? |
| 01:50 | cardiel | worked now.. was corrupted file, so i downloaded agian |
| 01:51 | cardiel | no didnt work |
| 01:53 | jmontleo | nevermind. /me needs to learn to read better |
| 01:58 | jmontleo | rabeeh, sweet, new u-boot does indeed fix the second usb port |
| 01:58 | jmontleo | jnettlet, ^ |
| 02:35 | cardiel | i tried both latest geexbox snapshot and yocto xbmc.. still stuttering when playing 5gb 720p file |
| 02:36 | cardiel | someone know how i can solve this? |
| 02:36 | cardiel | android+xbmc? |
| 07:43 | tomlohave-away | cardiel: use make-sdcard from another linux or win32diskimager on linux |
| 07:44 | tomlohave-away | binaries are here : http://download.geexbox.org/snapshots/geexbox-xbmc-imx6-cuboxi/ |
| 07:44 | tomlohave-away | win32diskimager on windows |
| 08:22 | cardiel | tomlohave-away: i just dd the image.. i read wrong |
| 08:23 | cardiel | tomlohave-away: so the image worked after i used dd to write it |
| 08:24 | Juggie | whats the status of MediaCodec in the android 4.3 image? |
| 12:35 | MarcusVinter | Good morning. |
| 12:35 | obinou | just got my i4 today \o/ ! |
| 12:38 | MarcusVinter | :O nice! |
| 12:38 | MarcusVinter | congrats? |
| 12:38 | MarcusVinter | Yeah congrats :D |
| 12:41 | MarcusVinter | What you going to use it for? |
| 12:54 | obinou | For now, testing a little bit (I already own several imx6-based devices) |
| 12:55 | obinou | my goal is to create a xbmc-based fully-functionnal "DVB-T+recorder+time shifting" box , xbmc-based |
| 12:55 | obinou | this is a demand from one of my ISP contact |
| 12:56 | obinou | problem is the form-factor : Their goal is to have a all-in-one box (so with a DVB-T stick + SATA disk already withhin the box) but I could not find one |
| 12:57 | obinou | on the other hand, one of the major problem I will have is the DRM on the streams |
| 12:57 | MarcusVinter | try cubieboard |
| 12:59 | MarcusVinter | I shouldnt be saying that here |
| 12:59 | obinou | no I want i.mx6 |
| 12:59 | MarcusVinter | Oh i see. |
| 12:59 | obinou | but why Allwinner is better in that respect ? |
| 12:59 | MarcusVinter | Allwinner A20 inside it. Its not bad... |
| 13:00 | obinou | (i honnestly don't know any DRM-compliant chip but the sigma-design , anti-gpl crap |
| 13:00 | MarcusVinter | Dual core and mali400 GPU |
| 13:01 | Spr0cket | obinou: is it only DVB-T or also DVB-T2? |
| 13:02 | obinou | My main concern is the openness of the ARM part. In this regard, I think freescale is quite good while the other seems to sell as mush chips as possible without too much concern for the software, and then forget the whole thing as soon as the next chip is released. At least imx6 is there to last |
| 13:02 | obinou | DVB-T2 as well |
| 13:02 | Spr0cket | which tuner are you using? |
| 13:05 | obinou | mhhh i don't remeber right now, I don't have it at hand. I'll fetch it this afternoon |
| 13:05 | obinou | why does it matter ? This tunner works under linux / desktop |
| 13:06 | MarcusVinter | Spr0cket sounds like your device got exploited... |
| 13:06 | MarcusVinter | Wrong channel.. |
| 13:09 | MarcusVinter | I don't know of any current kik exploit in the wild but sounds like an overflow exploirt |
| 13:09 | MarcusVinter | exploit* |
| 13:09 | MarcusVinter | Probably a private one. |
| 13:13 | MarcusVinter | Nevertheless Id format your device and change passwords :/ |
| 13:13 | Spr0cket | that's what I was thinking :( |
| 13:17 | Spr0cket | I have logcat and strace output from the event and can't see anything obvious, but I'm no expert |
| 13:18 | MarcusVinter | Can I take a look? |
| 13:18 | MarcusVinter | I'm know expert but I know a few. |
| 13:19 | Spr0cket | sure let me put the files somewhere you can grab them |
| 13:19 | MarcusVinter | Thanks |
| 13:23 | MarcusVinter | Don't suppose you have the URL she sent too? |
| 13:24 | MikeSeth | Spr0cket: you got an arm box pwned? |
| 13:25 | jnettlet | Can someone with some time, a serial connection and a working i4pro interrupt the boot process in u-boot and type clocks and paste the output. |
| 13:26 | MarcusVinter | I could do for I2U if that helps? |
| 13:26 | jnettlet | MarcusVinter, that is a good start. thanks |
| 13:26 | MarcusVinter | np :D |
| 13:27 | MarcusVinter | After all you have done for me its the least I could do. |
| 13:28 | MarcusVinter | http://pastebin.com/ezfhD6hP |
| 13:29 | MarcusVinter | There you are. |
| 13:30 | jnettlet | thanks |
| 13:30 | MarcusVinter | np |
| 13:30 | MarcusVinter | Also While booting I get sched_clock: 32 bits at 3000kHz, resolution 333ns, wraps every 1431655ms |
| 13:30 | MarcusVinter | arm_max_freq=1GHz |
| 13:30 | MarcusVinter | Dont know if that means a thing to you... |
| 13:33 | jnettlet | that all looks good. Thanks |
| 13:39 | MarcusVinter | No probs :) |
| 14:09 | MikeSeth | jnettlet: no access to serial on -i1 w/o soldering right? |
| 14:09 | jnettlet | MikeSeth, I believe so yes. Only u-boot access is via hdmi |
| 14:10 | _rmk_ | jnettlet: I hope that means that the HDMI video mode timings are fixed |
| 14:10 | MikeSeth | er, uboot over hdmi? I didn't realize that |
| 14:11 | jnettle | 14:11 * jnettlet whistles and looks the other way |
| 14:11 | _rmk_ | because if not, it means that uboot will not be accessible over hdmi with at least some TVs |
| 14:11 | jnettlet | I keep typing pr_info in my u-boot debug code, slowing things down |
| 14:12 | jnettlet | _rmk_, lots needs to be done to finish that up. I am working on u-boot clock code right now |
| 14:13 | jnettlet | although really a developer who wants serial port access should buy an HB1 instead of a Cubox-i1 |
| 14:14 | MikeSeth | jnettlet: I need to carve out some time to finish (begin) packing vivante stuff into .debs, then I'll turn my i1 into a firewall and get a bunch of i4s and a devboard |
| 14:15 | jnettlet | a firewall with 1 ethernet port? |
| 14:15 | jnettlet | are you running wifi in hostap mode? |
| 14:16 | MikeSeth | jnettlet: you can split it into vlans, and hostap would also work |
| 14:17 | MikeSeth | though I could probably get an $5 ethernet usb dongle just as well and do it right |
| 14:17 | jnettle | 14:17 * jnettlet is too paranoid to rely on software based vlans for my firewall. |
| 14:17 | jnettlet | that would be the route I would go down |
| 14:18 | jnettlet | this is quite the snow storm we are getting today |
| 14:19 | obinou | MarcusVinter: jnettlet : Where is the serial port ? |
| 14:20 | rabeeh | MikeSeth: u-boot on hdmi works as fixed resolution 1024x768@75hz |
| 14:20 | rabeeh | you can hook a keyboard to the lower USB port (the one between the esata and upper usb) |
| 14:22 | MikeSeth | rabeeh: btw, is it true that esata & microusb is simply not connected anywhere on -i1? |
| 14:28 | MarcusVinter | obinou, its the micro usb under teh esata, its got built in serial hardware so its basically plug and play serial. |
| 14:28 | Spr0cket | MarcusVinter: https://db.tt/6ijs2l9S https://db.tt/nvqxyTJ1 sorry, I don't have a url for the image |
| 14:28 | obinou | MarcusVinter: oh thanks |
| 14:28 | obinou | perfect |
| 14:29 | Spr0cket | MikeSeth: it's an android phone |
| 14:29 | obinou | I'll be able to show jnettlet the serial port boot for i4 then |
| 14:29 | Spr0cket | not sure if it's pwned |
| 14:29 | obinou | (first boot ! :-) ) |
| 14:29 | MikeSeth | Spr0cket: ouch |
| 14:30 | jnettlet | obinou, thanks |
| 14:30 | obinou | jnettlet: let me cleanup my desk , I get back on you |
| 14:30 | MarcusVinter | Thanks spr0cket ill take a look/have experts look and get back to you. shame you dont have the URL to analyse though. I imagine it would be the most enlightening. |
| 14:34 | Spr0cket | yeah it is a pity - and kik doesn't d/l the image to disk before it renders it - I searched the filesystem for the reference ID it assigned to the pic but nothing |
| 14:42 | Spr0cket | thanks for taking a look |
| 14:53 | obinou | jnettlet: please wait a bit, I forgot to get a sdcard image |
| 14:53 | obinou | jnettlet: so I have nothing neither on screen nor on serial port |
| 14:54 | jnettlet | obinou, yeah you need u-boot to init those |
| 14:54 | jnettlet | it is no hurray, just for my reference |
| 15:04 | MarcusVinter | No problem Spr0cket, I would still unfortunately recommend formatting your device though :( |
| 15:08 | Spr0cket | yeah ultimately I will have to do that - I'm just trying to think if there's anything else I can do to see what is happening when the image opens to get more info |
| 15:08 | Spr0cket | maybe look at network traffic and open files |
| 15:11 | MarcusVinter | If possible that would be a great idea, if you monitor network traffic then we can see the bitmap url possibly. Its strange how it crashes now you open it though, almost like its messed up your config files. It might be worth checking them to see if anything leaked into there. |
| 15:39 | pepedog | 'elo |
| 15:39 | pepedog | the new SPL uboot, will all devices get the same mac address? |
| 15:51 | jnettlet | pepedog, no |
| 15:51 | pepedog | or is it because cat /proc/cpuinfo gives Serial : 0000000000000000 on my c1 |
| 15:52 | jnettlet | pepedog, oh for a C1 you need to set the mac address in your boot.scr or uEnv.txt |
| 15:52 | pepedog | nice work btw |
| 15:55 | pepedog | does uEnv.txt work for single partition ext4? I can't seem to pick it up, but boot.scr works |
| 16:03 | jnettlet | uEnv.txt should work fine. it needs to be on the root of the first partition |
| 16:04 | Juggie | anyone aware of the status of MediaCodec in the android 4.3 image? |
| 16:04 | Juggie | (mediacodec api) |
| 16:16 | MikeSeth | oh yeah, speaking of uEnv.txt, it's a native feature of uboot, not a hack, right? |
| 16:18 | pepedog | The wiki has an obvious step missing to build uboot, cd u-boot-imx6 |
| 16:22 | pepedog | setenv ethaddr "d0:63:00:00:00:01" didn't work in my boot.scr |
| 16:47 | obinou | jnettlet: http://pastebin.com/m4RzLvg9 |
| 16:47 | obinou | (look identical to Marcus's for me) |
| 16:52 | obinou | You guys know where the default resolution of the framebuffer or X-windows is set on the debian image ? My (old) screen show "cannot display this resolution) after linux boot |
| 16:52 | obinou | (it show uboot ok , the 1024x768 is the max this monitor can do) |
| 17:21 | captainigloo | obinou: you have your cubox \o/, next time you come in toulouse, take it, i would like to see the beast |
| 17:25 | jnettle | 17:25 * jnettlet googles toulouse |
| 17:28 | captainigloo | jnettlet: a beatifull city in the south of france |
| 17:28 | captainigloo | :) |
| 17:28 | jnettlet | I found the city in France. |
| 17:28 | obinou | captainigloo: sure I will |
| 17:28 | jnettle | 17:28 * jnettlet wonders why never gets invited to France. |
| 17:29 | captainigloo | obinou: i'm using the cubox 1 as my main mediacenter since 2 month |
| 17:30 | captainigloo | results are pretty good, but sometime i get few problem when reading SD videos |
| 17:30 | captainigloo | i'm wondering if cubox-i is better for that :) |
| 17:31 | obinou | I hope in succeding reading HD video in 1080p with the cubox-4i , yes |
| 17:31 | obinou | I lack a suitable screen to test, thought |
| 17:34 | obinou | (ok , it works - the HDMI to VGA adaptor I was using did not transfered the i2c DDC channel |
| 17:34 | jnettlet | they usually don't. |
| 17:46 | jnettlet | anyone with a cubox-1i able to get me the clock output from u-boot? |
| 17:48 | jnettlet | or someone with a c1/hb1 that resets properly |
| 17:49 | MarcusVinter | I dont have my C1 working so I cant lol. not sure if it resets properly either |
| 17:49 | jnettlet | MarcusVinter, you have a c1 though? What doesn't work about it? |
| 17:51 | MarcusVinter | No u-boot |
| 17:51 | MarcusVinter | lol |
| 17:52 | jnettlet | do you have an extra sdhc card? |
| 17:53 | MarcusVinter | Yeah, its currently got a 32GB card in it |
| 17:53 | MarcusVinter | I have so many sd cards its not even funny lol |
| 18:00 | iio7 | Is it possible to have cubox boot from a USB harddrive ? |
| 18:02 | rabeeh | iio7: cubox-i or legacy cubox? |
| 18:02 | rabeeh | you can do that in both; but first you need to boot from the micro SD (in cubox-i case) |
| 18:02 | iio7 | cubox pro |
| 18:05 | iio7 | I used a USB stick with the cubox installer to boot from the upper USB, so it should be possible to use the upper USB to boot from a harddrive even without a sd card, right? |
| 18:10 | MarcusVinter | jnettlet if you give me a u-boot ill run clocks for you? |
| 18:11 | jnettlet | MarcusVinter, thanks I may take you up on that, but have a bit more digging to do. |
| 18:11 | MarcusVinter | sure no problem. The offers there whenever you want it anyway. |
| 18:12 | MarcusVinter | I'm going to get that dmesg for bluetooth in a min too if you wouldnt mind taking a look at it? |
| 18:12 | MarcusVinter | not right now, but at some point... |
| 18:13 | MarcusVinter | Its just some of our clients have wireless peripherals and we need to know if they are going to work to be sure we want to adopt cubox as our main hardware. |
| 18:14 | MarcusVinter | If I can get everything working, we will be wanting 100+. |
| 18:14 | MarcusVinter | Probably thousands. |
| 18:26 | iio7 | I would like to upgrade the nand flash. On the wiki it says that it can be done from a running Linux. Is that the "Flash memory" part from the wiki here? http://www.solid-run.com/mw/index.php?title=Linux#Flash_memory |
| 18:29 | iio7 | It also says that " The CuBox Installer can download and update for you.", but there is no such option once the cubox installer is up? |
| 18:32 | iio7 | Where is "uboot.bin" located? |
| 18:38 | iio7 | ok, found the install-u-boot script and upgraded. So support for ext4 should work. I have an external usb harddrive connected on the upper usb with ext4 and /boot, but it is NOT booting! |
| 18:44 | iio7 | what a freaking helpful channel |
| 18:50 | jnettlet | yes everyone should drop everything and help you iio7. Why don't you ask nicely and then wait for someone who has time and an answer to get back to you? |
| 18:56 | rabeeh | iio7: please ask nicely and the nice people on #cubox might have some time to help you out. |
| 19:03 | iio7 | yes, I can see that |
| 19:08 | rabeeh | iio7: so you have the latest u-boot now flashed into your SPI flash |
| 19:08 | iio7 | yes, its flashed nicely |
| 19:10 | rabeeh | now for your original question about booting from usb; it's doable |
| 19:11 | rabeeh | you mainly need 'usb start' the init the usb devices; and then 'fatload usb ...' or 'ext2load usb ...' depending on the partition type you have on your USB drive |
| 19:13 | iio7 | okay.. what you're saying is also located here: http://www.solid-run.com/mw/index.php/Boot_from_USB_device |
| 19:13 | iio7 | But I don't understand.. where the "ext2load" or "fatload" part goes? Into what file? |
| 19:14 | iio7 | Oh, I make a boot.txt with the above, then use mkimage which will create boot.scr? |
| 19:17 | iio7 | Will ext2load work with an ext4 drive? |
| 19:17 | iio7 | And also.. is it possible to change the bootargs so it will boot using HDMI? |
| 19:21 | rabeeh | ext2load will work on ext4 |
| 19:22 | rabeeh | with boot.scr you can completely control whatever kernel command line parameters you need |
| 19:22 | iio7 | using this http://www.solid-run.com/mw/index.php/Boot_from_USB_device, the mkimage command goesn't work. |
| 19:23 | iio7 | I get a "Usage: mkimage -l image" etc |
| 19:43 | _rmk_ | there's nothing worse than a "xxx doesn't work" statement with no information :) |
| 20:05 | iio7 | Maybe this is a stupid question, but can I not install debian to the sd card, then attach a bootable usb harddrive, mount it and copy everything from the sd card to the usb harddrive. Reboot, remove the sd card and boot from the usd harddrive? |
| 20:17 | iio7 | Can't get it to boot from the usb harddrive no matter what I do. |
| 20:19 | iio7 | Also.. if I disconnect the device from power and simply want to boot from the SD card after a shutdown, the device wont boot. |
| 20:20 | iio7 | So install -> reboot -> works. But after install -> boot -> shutdown (with power off) device wont boot. |
| 20:20 | iio7 | I think I'm gonna return this and stick with my raspberry. |
| 20:26 | _505 | iio7, can you make a serial connection? that way you don't need a boot.scr (yet), but you can type all the commands |
| 20:26 | _505 | easier for debugging |
| 20:30 | _505 | oh, iio7 already logged off? |
| 20:42 | _rmk_ | 505: yep |
| 20:49 | iio7 | rabeh, can I use the debian-jessie image you have made, dd onto a USB harddrive, expand the partition and then boot from that? |
| 22:31 | _dab_ | Is the cubox-i uboot ethernet support supposed to work? e.g. ping, nfs, dhcp |
