| 10:20 | xraxor | at this time of the day? |
| 11:13 | rabeeh | xraxor: ? |
| 11:14 | rabeeh | ho; pepedog Vodka :) |
| 11:37 | _505 | rabeeh, is the old wiki locked? Can't log in there to edit pages |
| 11:37 | _505 | might be good to add a warning that the info over there is for the old cubox |
| 11:44 | rabeeh | _505: i agree |
| 11:44 | rabeeh | there is a big confusion about this |
| 11:46 | xraxor | rabeeh: |
| 11:57 | patrickg | rabeeh: is there anything I can help you with regarding coreboot? |
| 11:57 | rabeeh | hi patrickg |
| 11:58 | rabeeh | i wonder if mrnuke can support the imx6 port for coreboot |
| 11:58 | rabeeh | or if you have someone else in mind |
| 11:59 | rabeeh | there are lots of imx6 platforms around and i'm pretty sure coreboot support will be an interesting item |
| 12:00 | durandle | I have a question regarding flashing the SPI on a CuBox v1, being that it says it has, but wont boot unless I do so via a xmodem transfer of the uboot. |
| 12:00 | patrickg | rabeeh: it's interesting for sure. as for mrnuke, I think he's up to it. but you'd have to ask him yourself regarding time and interest |
| 12:04 | durandle | thats better... no more web-irc |
| 12:07 | durandle | using the installer doesn't work, it gives an error about "/dev/mtd0 (SPI flash) is invalid" |
| 12:07 | durandle | there are a few forum threads on this issue, none have an actual solution, most seem to end up way off topic. |
| 12:09 | rabeeh | durandle: how old is your cubox? |
| 12:09 | durandle | rabeeh: its from the 2nd or third batch of v1 |
| 12:09 | rabeeh | is this with the new plastic or the really old plastic? (i know it's v1) |
| 12:10 | rabeeh | i.e. plastic with SolidRun logo on top? |
| 12:10 | durandle | No logo |
| 12:10 | durandle | so old I guess :) |
| 12:13 | durandle | rabeeh: have I gone and used a u-boot thats too new for the old model? |
| 12:14 | durandle | "u-boot-cubox_hynix_cubox_1GB_uart.bin 06-Aug-2013 16:43" |
| 12:14 | rabeeh | no; it's unrelated to this |
| 12:15 | rabeeh | it's simply the Linux kernel that loads with the cubox installer doesn't identify the oldie oldie SPI flash on the board. |
| 12:15 | rabeeh | i can send you a kernel if you want to try out? |
| 12:15 | durandle | That would be very welcome :) |
| 12:16 | rabeeh | it's a uImage that you would have to overwrite the older uImage with |
| 12:16 | rabeeh | now; i have that somewhere |
| 12:16 | durandle | At some point I plan on getting one of the shiny new models... but as usual, finding the excuse to spend money isn't so easy :) |
| 12:19 | durandle | rabeeh: How about though when I use bubt and a tfpt server to do it? |
| 12:21 | rabeeh | durandle: bubt works too |
| 12:22 | rabeeh | i can't the kernel around; i have built it with the initramfs for the cubox installer |
| 12:24 | durandle | sorry, not sure what you mean :) |
| 12:26 | durandle | rabeeh: however, I have used the bubt with tftp to do the flash, which says "Done" all round, but still the box boots with a dim light. Or does bubt on the latest u-boot also have issues accessing the flash? |
| 12:27 | durandle | all I can get out of putty is "Bootstrap 2.33>" |
| 12:39 | rabeeh | Bootstrap 2.33 means you have also killed u-boot on the spi flash |
| 12:39 | rabeeh | you need to recover via xmodem |
| 12:39 | rabeeh | for xmodem use the _uart version and for bubt use the _spi version |
| 12:40 | durandle | Ok will try that right now :) |
| 12:45 | durandle | rabeeh: excellent, at least it boots again ;) thank you so much |
| 12:46 | durandle | rabeeh: If the patched kernel is an issue, don't worry about it. I can work around it and in a few months I may just get one of the newer ones. |
| 12:50 | durandle | I just wish there was a reset-button on this thing! |
| 15:27 | iio7 | Where can I locate information about what exactly the "push-button" does on the pro version of cubox? |
| 15:34 | iio7 | If nowhere, what exactly does it do? |
| 15:41 | MikeSeth | there are no buttons on cuboxes |
| 15:41 | iio7 | yes there are |
| 15:41 | MikeSeth | whatever you think is a button, isn't |
| 15:42 | iio7 | you're wrong |
| 15:42 | MikeSeth | point on a picture? |
| 15:42 | iio7 | http://www.solid-run.com/mw/index.php/Unbricking_CuBox |
| 15:42 | iio7 | search for "push-button" |
| 15:42 | MikeSeth | oh, you mean the *old* cubox |
| 15:42 | iio7 | it's just above the hdmi on both boxes |
| 15:43 | iio7 | no I got the pro box, there is one there too |
| 15:43 | MikeSeth | I dont think they even make those anymore |
| 15:43 | MikeSeth | according to the page it's a boot mode selection button |
| 15:44 | iio7 | I just got a brand new yesterday, a CuBox-i4Pro and it has the push-button too |
| 15:44 | MikeSeth | errr |
| 15:45 | iio7 | I could not find any info on the push-button for the new box, only something for the old |
| 15:46 | MikeSeth | the connector mount is standard, it may be unconnected on new cuboxes |
| 15:46 | MikeSeth | i didnt even realize it was there |
| 15:46 | MikeSeth | actually on my model I don't think it is |
| 15:46 | iio7 | it's almost impossible to notice |
| 15:47 | iio7 | it's very tiny |
| 15:47 | MikeSeth | as far as I know there isn't a support for anything like this in the bootloader and gpio isn't connected anywhere in any case |
| 16:06 | _rmk_ | iio7's right... there is a button just above the HDMI |
| 16:56 | jnettlet | oh that button....don't even push that button! |
| 16:56 | Coolgeek | the cubox will explode ! |
| 16:57 | _rmk_ | because black buttons surrounded by a black background with black writing should never be pressed? |
| 16:57 | Coolgeek | only red button can be pushed |
| 17:00 | iio7 | How can I force the boot process to show on hdmi? I have made a boot.txt -> boot.scr with the following: http://paste.debian.net/76178/ |
| 17:00 | iio7 | But when I boot I still get "No signal" on my monitor. |
| 17:02 | _rmk_ | I believe the cubox-i uboot supports displaying via HDMI but *not* the Dove based cubox. |
| 17:02 | iio7 | I have the cubox-i pro |
| 17:03 | _rmk_ | if what you pasted is for the cubox-i, then why does it talk about dove? |
| 17:04 | _rmk_ | if you are indeed talking about the imx6 based cubox-i, then its quite probable that the reason you're getting "no signal" is because of a three month old bug that has been low priority for the small number of people to fix... uboot sets the mode slightly slow, and some devices don't recognise the signal. |
| 17:04 | iio7 | I have no idea. The confirmation from the webshop says pro. Also I can see the boot process fine using hdmi if I boot using the installer. |
| 17:05 | jnettlet | there is a Cubox Pro as well which is different than a Cubox-i i4Pro |
| 17:05 | jnettlet | The Cubox Pro is the dove board but with 2GB's of DDR |
| 17:05 | iio7 | Is there a way to determine which box it is then? |
| 17:06 | _rmk_ | I have no idea. |
| 17:07 | jnettlet | if you can get a linux console/terminal, then cat /proc/cpuinfo |
| 17:07 | iio7 | ARMv7 Processor rev 5 (v7l) |
| 17:07 | _rmk_ | keep going |
| 17:07 | iio7 | http://paste.debian.net/76180/ |
| 17:07 | _rmk_ | you'll eventually get to something which says "Hardware:" |
| 17:08 | jnettlet | That is a dove board |
| 17:08 | jnettlet | iwmmxt |
| 17:08 | _rmk_ | right, so that isn't the cubox-i |
| 17:08 | _rmk_ | It's the older Dove-based cubox |
| 17:08 | iio7 | I just payed 115$ for that!! I could have gotten the i4-pro! |
| 17:09 | _rmk_ | and who did you purchase it from? ebay? |
| 17:09 | iio7 | No New IT |
| 17:10 | _rmk_ | right, and I'm looking at their site, and NOWHERE does it say that they sell a cubox-i |
| 17:11 | _rmk_ | They sell a Cubox Pro for ?110 and a Cubox for ?90. Both are the older Dove based ones. |
| 17:11 | _rmk_ | "800 MHz dual issue ARM PJ4 processor, VFPv3, wmmx SIMD and 512KB L2 cache." |
| 17:11 | _rmk_ | iio7: PLONK. |
| 17:11 | iio7 | I got it through amazon, I guess I thought the pro was the new pro. |
| 17:11 | iio7 | Because of the 2gb |
| 17:12 | _rmk_ | you mean this: http://www.amazon.co.uk/CuBox-Pro-from-New-IT/dp/B00BXIZASK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1389715932&sr=8-1&keywords=cubox |
| 17:12 | _rmk_ | "800 MHz dual issue ARM PJ4 processor" |
| 17:12 | _rmk_ | that also says to me "Dove" |
| 17:13 | jnettlet | yep |
| 17:14 | jnettlet | actually rabeeh you may know. What operations can the Armada series dual-issue. I have yet to read documentation that explains it in detail. |
| 17:15 | rabeeh | i don't recall the exact |
| 17:15 | jnettlet | iio7, well Amazon has a great return policy. I would start there if you would rather have the i4pro |
| 17:15 | rabeeh | but the basic arithmetic can dual issue |
| 17:15 | iio7 | yes, i'll return it! |
| 17:17 | _rmk_ | I wonder what else iio7 will buy without properly reading the specs |
| 17:17 | rabeeh | _rmk_: full sd instead of micro sd |
| 17:17 | rabeeh | 24v / 10A power adapter |
| 17:18 | rabeeh | reversed where the + is in the inner connection |
| 17:18 | rabeeh | hehe. and a vga monitor :) |
| 17:19 | _rmk_ | yes :) |
| 17:21 | jnettlet | rabeeh, we can probably change the SPL's boot device detection to default to SD1 instead of device unknown. Since all the HB/Cubox-i devices boot from SDHC |
| 17:21 | _rmk_ | I really ought to get rid of my old 14" crt which doesn't get any use |
| 17:22 | _rmk_ | maybe iio7 could use it :) |
| 17:22 | jnettlet | as soon as you get rid of it you know you will need it for testing. |
| 18:11 | MikeSeth | uhhh, brcmfmac misses 2/3 of scan results, including my ap |
| 18:12 | MikeSeth | this is probably the gain table issue again argh |
| 20:57 | iio7 | I have dd from the sd card onto two different USB harddrives. One harddrive is booting and working perfectly, but when I try the other drive I get: http://paste.debian.net/76237/ |
| 20:58 | iio7 | I have mounted the drive from another linux box and it has the same boot.scr as the drive that works. Also if I boot from sd and attach the usb drive, I can mount it and see the files etc. |
| 20:59 | iio7 | It is cubox pro. Can it be that the cubox pro wont boot some specific harddrives? |
| 21:14 | iio7 | What does "Bad partition 1" mean? |
| 21:27 | iio7 | No matter what I choose I get "Bad partition 1" |
| 21:30 | iio7 | Using "usb info" I get the device. "Mass Storage, USB Revision 2.10 Seagate Portable 2GH76SD2" |
| 21:32 | iio7 | "usb part" also shows the partition table. |
| 21:32 | iio7 | Why then do I get "Bad partition 1" when trying to boot from it? |
| 21:38 | iio7 | Hmm.. I manually got it to boot now. |
| 21:38 | iio7 | Must be something wrong with the boot.scr file. |
| 23:07 | cardiel | at which temperature will cubox-i4 become unresponsive? |
| 23:17 | cardiel | someone got the android image working? |
