| 00:26 | Cobur | 00:26 * Coburn tips his hat |
| 00:26 | Coburn | morning |
| 00:53 | mk01_ | haha. good night sleep. |
| 00:53 | mk01_ | bye |
| 02:01 | diabl0z | hello |
| 02:02 | diabl0z | i need some help |
| 02:26 | Coburn | diabl0z: hello there. what help do you need? |
| 02:37 | diabl0z | ehy Coburn |
| 02:38 | diabl0z | i've just solved by myself. I got a bricked cubox v2 1GB and it stucked at boot in bootstrap> |
| 02:39 | diabl0z | i cannot fix neither loading back ubox with sx from serial console |
| 02:40 | diabl0z | every time at reboot it went back on bootstrap>, i solved by flashing uboot from the installer |
| 02:41 | Coburn | so wait a minute |
| 02:41 | Coburn | you didn't get the uBoot prompt, you got another Bootstrap> prompt? |
| 02:42 | Coburn | On mine it says "CuBox LOADER" and then uBoot |
| 02:42 | Coburn | unless you're using a imx6 based device |
| 02:42 | Coburn | I'm using a Dove-based CuBox |
| 02:42 | diabl0z | exactly, i opened a serial console, so I started cubox and after some seconds it prompted bootstrap 3.2> |
| 02:42 | diabl0z | but now it prompts CuBox> correctly |
| 02:43 | diabl0z | after that i fleshed uboot from installer |
| 02:43 | Coburn | wow |
| 02:43 | Coburn | what model is your cubox? is it the newer type? |
| 02:44 | Coburn | (look under the bottom, it should have a sticker) |
| 02:44 | diabl0z | no an old one |
| 02:44 | diabl0z | cb-300-d |
| 02:44 | Coburn | ah, right |
| 02:44 | Coburn | that's the one I've got |
| 02:44 | Coburn | that's interesting though because I don't have that prompt |
| 02:44 | diabl0z | there is a list of models with model name ? |
| 02:44 | diabl0z | it was an error |
| 02:44 | Coburn | Not sure. |
| 02:45 | diabl0z | maybe the bootstrap is like a rescue mode |
| 02:45 | Coburn | if I brick mine, I just get a empty console, where I must use my dexterity to flash a UART uBoot |
| 02:45 | Coburn | but you say you got a rescue mode, I'm intriuged by this |
| 02:46 | diabl0z | in my case this solution didn't solved the situation |
| 02:46 | Coburn | but did it get you back on your feet? |
| 02:47 | diabl0z | yes, now it works with the precompiled version of debain |
| 02:47 | diabl0z | debian* |
| 02:48 | Coburn | nice. |
| 02:48 | diabl0z | but tomorrow i will try to install a clean wheezy version |
| 02:48 | Coburn | that's always good to hear |
| 02:48 | Coburn | yep, wheezy is great on the CuBox |
| 02:48 | Coburn | I use it myself |
| 02:49 | diabl0z | yes |
| 02:49 | diabl0z | sure? |
| 02:49 | diabl0z | how did you installed it? |
| 02:49 | diabl0z | netboot ? |
| 02:49 | Coburn | I manually do my installs. |
| 02:49 | diabl0z | yes |
| 02:50 | Coburn | As in, I use another device to "bootstrap" the debian wheezy, then enable a few things in a configuration file (serial console) |
| 02:50 | diabl0z | ok |
| 02:50 | Coburn | then I backup the kernel and modules from the old install and then basically wipe, install bootstrap to the uSD and then copy back the kernel and modules |
| 02:51 | Coburn | Although, I'm using _rmk_ 3.13 tree for the kernel, mainly because I needed GPU and his stuff was the most recent kernel version with the GPU patches |
| 02:51 | diabl0z | nice |
| 02:52 | Coburn | I know I might have confused you but yeah, I'm a linux power user :P |
| 02:52 | diabl0z | i see |
| 02:52 | Coburn | Thinking I might chuck up a few tarballs of "just download, format your uSD, untar this tarball and go" debians |
| 02:52 | diabl0z | im trying to understand all |
| 02:53 | Coburn | debian is a great learning distro |
| 02:53 | diabl0z | i use debian from some years |
| 02:53 | diabl0z | i like it |
| 02:54 | diabl0z | is arrived the moment to start learn how to create a custom version for this cubox |
| 02:54 | diabl0z | ;) |
| 02:56 | diabl0z | i have to go, see you soon |
| 10:23 | zaher | rabeeh: are you there? |
| 10:23 | zaher | rabeeh: pepedog made nice xbmc packages for Arch |
| 10:24 | zaher | but then I found out that xbmc craches when you run it on HB with the new SPL/u-boot |
| 10:24 | zaher | the old u-boot works. I tested also with GeexBox and that same thing happens |
| 10:25 | zaher | let me know if I can help debug this. |
| 13:46 | dv_ | rabeeh: ping |
| 13:46 | dv_ | are the humminboards officially sold now? |
| 13:46 | dv_ | a colleague of mine is very interested in these |
| 13:47 | dv_ | especially the ones with wifi/bt and sata |
| 14:06 | davorin | not yet... |
| 14:07 | davorin | he's testing v2.0, but there will be 2.1 in the end |
| 14:09 | dv_ | ah yes, how is 2.0 progressing? |
| 14:09 | davorin | think he had to manually patch some usb lines on the bottm (o; |
| 14:09 | dv_ | oh. |
| 14:09 | davorin | and not sure if 2.1 will officially include sim card holder...that would be terrific... |
| 14:11 | davorin | and dunno what the pin "usb_otg_id" is doing on the gpio26 header... |
| 14:11 | davorin | but i think he has msata and mini-pciee working |
| 14:12 | davorin | and apparently he will announce something in the coming week... |
| 14:12 | davorin | maybe his birthday (o; |
| 18:03 | ACSpike | Does anyone have experience gettting lirc up and running on a cubox-i? I'm using arch linux |
| 20:29 | ACSpike | I'm trying to install lirc on arch linux, but I dont' get a /dev/lirc* |
| 20:29 | ACSpike | what can I do |
| 23:16 | chron0 | hmm, rabeeh, what could I be doing wrong when booting your current git kernel/u-boot-imx6 and getting: MAYBE you should read doc/README.arm-unaligned-accesses |
| 23:17 | chron0 | directly after Verifying Checksum ... OK Loading Kernel Image ... data abort |
| 23:19 | chron0 | using armv7a-hardfloat-linux-gnueabi crossdev env on gentoo. u-boot and kernel compile went without a noticable hitch though |
| 23:23 | _rmk_ | chron0: why do you think it's an unaligned access? |
| 23:24 | ACSpike | I'm trying to install lirc on arch linux, but I dont' get a /dev/lirc*. I read in the forums that cubox-i shoudl work with lirc. what can I do? |
| 23:25 | chron0 | _rmk_: I can honestly say that I have no clue :) |
| 23:26 | chron0 | I am just spewing out what u-boot tells me :) |
| 23:28 | chron0 | ah, I think I see, this could be understood the wrong way like I was telling someone to read that file |
| 23:29 | chron0 | u-boot fails to boot the kernel and sais: "MAYBE you should read doc/README.arm-unaligned-accesses" |
| 23:29 | chron0 | directly after Verifying Checksum ... OK Loading Kernel Image ... data abort |
| 23:29 | _rmk_ | you're using the kernel image rabeeh provides? |
| 23:30 | chron0 | I've already searched the net and found some other people with the same problem but on different platforms an the solution here to fix it still eludes me |
| 23:30 | chron0 | yeah, I've cloned both git repos |
| 23:32 | chron0 | https://apollo.open-resource.org/pad/cubox |
| 23:32 | _rmk_ | I guess that leads to questions about how you're loading the kernel |
| 23:32 | chron0 | here's a trace |
| 23:32 | chron0 | I guess so too |
| 23:35 | chron0 | I've dded the SPL and uboot.img to the sd card and then put the kernel uImage into the boot partition, loads fine with ext2load mmc 0:1 etc |
| 23:36 | chron0 | do I need those boot.scr and boot.txt files I've found in some docs? I'm a little confused about the uEnv.txt and those other config files |
| 23:39 | _rmk | 23:39 * _rmk_ looks for whoever's using IP 99.102.134.95 (adsl-99-102-134-95.dsl.pltn13.sbcglobal.net.) |
| 23:39 | _rmk_ | if they do that again, they're getting an entry in my firewall... |
| 23:40 | _rmk_ | chron0: I've never used uEnv.txt so can't help with that |
| 23:41 | _rmk_ | presumably you used mkimage on that boot.txt to turn it into boot.scr? |
| 23:42 | chron0 | _rmk_: no actually I have neither of them on the boot partition, since I followed a doc that only dealt with uEnv.txt |
| 23:42 | chron0 | http://imx.solid-run.com/wiki/index.php?title=Building_the_kernel_and_u-boot_for_the_CuBox-i_and_the_HummingBoard |
| 23:43 | _rmk_ | ah, okay, so you loaded and tried to boot the kernel using the commands under "Booting the kernel", replacing fatload with ext2load ? |
| 23:50 | chron0 | yes |
| 23:51 | chron0 | but same symptoms manually or autobooting, just looping around |
| 23:53 | _rmk_ | can you copy across to your etherpad exactly what uboot comes out with please? |
