IRC log of #cubox of Tue 04 Mar 2014. All times are in CET < Back to index

01:32 mhoney_work hmmm, Searched all through the i4 forum and I still cant figure out how to fix overscan.
05:31 zombiehoffa anybody else booting to prompt after updating to latest nightly xbmc from geexbox?
05:59 zombiehoffa xbmc-standalone says "error: unable to open display"
06:49 jnettlet zombiehoffa, what hardware?
08:28 mk01 jnettlet: have a minute ?
08:28 jnettlet mk01, sure
08:29 mk01 please
08:29 mk01 with the new kernel, libs were not properly (vivante) referenced
08:30 mk01 yesterday I found freescale released meta package for YOCTO
08:30 mk01 bsed on 3.10.17 kernel
08:30 mk01 so far so good. new libs are no crashing.
08:30 mk01 (libGAL)
08:31 mk01 but. wanted to replace also libIMX and libVPU
08:31 jnettlet mk01, that is correct. In my release notes on the G+ community page I specifically say you should get the latest libs from yocto
08:31 jnettlet libIMX and libVPU don't matter
08:32 mk01 yes, ... but you know the people desires. always the NEWER no matter what
08:32 mk01 replaced them - window system is failing
08:32 jnettlet but I don't think they are actually different. They just have a name change. I can double check but last I looked they were identical
08:32 mk01 on init
08:33 mk01 so easy story - firmware files of course
08:33 jnettlet for X? The only thing the X driver depends on is libGAL for acceleration.
08:33 mk01 nope
08:34 mk01 this all is behind. done.
08:34 jnettlet what do you mean nope?
08:34 mk01 but for libvpu there is vpu_fw....bin
08:34 mk01 nope I mean = no problem, ...
08:35 mk01 so forget the vivante update -> this is done and fine
08:35 jnettlet yes but the vpu has nothing to do with X.
08:35 mk01 but I didn't reference X in any way
08:35 mk01 did I ?
08:36 jnettlet you said the display wouldn't start
08:36 mk01 not display
08:36 mk01 window system
08:36 mk01 sorry
08:36 mk01 too much reminds to X window system. sorry
08:37 jnettlet oh okay
08:37 jnettlet is this for XBMC?
08:37 mk01 also, yes
08:39 mk01 so simply VPU won't initialise with the previous fw files. YPCTO generated 120GB of everything
08:40 mk01 but no one 200k .bin file. as I wasn't building the previous one currently still used, I rather ask where are those 2xbin files from
08:41 mk01 they could be as well bundled inside image (kernel image) files, ... so I would miss them with "find" right ?
08:41 mk01 but I'm sure you know
08:42 jnettlet are you talking about vpu_fw_imx6q.bin?
08:42 mk01 yes
08:43 jnettlet are you building the master-next branch from yocto?
08:43 mk01 no
08:44 mk01 was following freescale doc
08:44 mk01 where it was DORA
08:45 mk01 + freescale patched .xml manifest
08:45 mk01 on yocto there was kernel at 3.10.17 at midnight
08:45 jnettlet your best bet is to ping otavio. He has just integrated all this support into master-next of yocto.
08:45 mk01 but not yet libraries
08:46 jnettlet otavio, ping ^^
08:46 mk01 (I had the feeling I'm looking at the repo in the middle of updating ... )
08:52 mk01 ok thanks sent a ping. going to process dri & vivante fb x driver
08:52 mk01 inbetween
09:34 tomlohave-away Hello
09:37 mk01 jnettlet: tried with previous ipu and vpu. native window can't be accessed.
09:39 mk01 jnettlet: grr, of course xbmc need rebuild against new libs :-/
09:39 jnettlet yes
09:39 mk01 I know I know. only forget always.
09:39 mk01 :))
09:39 jnettlet tomlohave-away, can you point mk01 to the libs/binaries openbrix is using with my 3.10 kernel?
09:39 tomlohave-away off course
09:40 jnettlet great thanks
09:40 tomlohave-away http://hg.openbricks.org/openbricks/file/1af5ed402d16/config/platforms/arm/imx6/machines/cuboxi/packages
09:41 tomlohave-away for each package, look in meta file
09:41 jnettlet mk01, ^^
09:44 jnettlet dv_, do you have any interlaced test videos?
09:45 mk01 yes
09:45 mk01 from DVBT
09:45 mk01 ah sorry not to me
09:45 jnettlet mk01, if you have some that would be fine also
09:45 jnettlet can you post a link?
09:46 mk01 SD only
09:46 tomlohave-away I can offer place to store them ;-)
09:46 mk01 no problem ?
09:46 mk01 I don't have direct port available to me on internet, will upload to our repo and post link in 20-30 min
09:47 jnettlet okay thanks.
10:01 mk01 ok so firmware 12.08 is from 2012 . ...
10:34 mk01 started copying http://xbian.brantje.com/others/interlaced.mkv 1gb
10:34 mk01 jnettlet: ~~ 12min
10:45 mk01 at 550MB crashed won't reget. tells me ioerror but i can read it. Can MKV be cut and play for your purposes?
10:45 mk01 (cut in half)
10:46 mk01 MKV inside mkv it is 1xV and 2xA TS(mpg2_ stream
10:56 jnettlet mk01, I will check
10:58 mk01 shows to me 13gb free on repo, no idea why stopping. ah, maybe quota
11:00 mk01 yes. deleted 300mb and continuing with the file
11:20 jnettlet mk01, did those openbrix links get you all the binaries you needed
11:20 jnettlet ?
11:21 mk01 yes of course. I would be annoying you again if not
11:22 mk01 but doing some real work now so xbmc waits for recompilation still
11:36 mk01 jnettlet: I regained some storage so will finish with the mkc
11:36 mk01 mkv
11:36 jnettlet mk01, okay great
11:37 mk01 jnettlet DONE
11:39 jnettlet mk01, great. Is it okay if tomlohave-away mirrors this file with geexbox's other sample videos?
11:41 mk01 probably is not fully ok with agreement between the TV channel and license owners (to be broadcasted worldwide :)) )
11:42 mk01 if the guys at geexbox have a tool to blank TV logo in the corner
11:42 jnettlet okay noted
11:42 mk01 then the file will stay longer online
11:43 jnettlet mk01, I am getting file not found trying to download that .mkv
11:43 mk01 ok wait
11:44 mk01 ah I just renamed to http://xbian.brantje.com/others/interlaced_1.mkv
11:45 jnettlet still a 404
11:47 mk01 http://xbian.brantje.com/others/interlaced_2.mkv
11:47 mk01 today is not my shining day :))
11:56 jnettlet got it
11:56 mk01 will remove
11:56 mk01 thanks
11:57 jnettlet sorry, still downloading
11:57 jnettlet give me 5 minutes
11:57 mk01 ah no problem
11:57 jnettlet I meant got it, as download started
11:57 mk01 yes, got it
11:57 mk01 second time
11:57 mk01 :_
11:57 mk01 :)
11:58 mk01 I took smallest I found. If you want interlace and and doing very issues for IPU on cubox, will upload on request
11:59 mk01 what are you trying? the hardware de-interlacer ?
12:01 jnettlet just general testing and playback of the different fileformats
12:05 jnettlet mk01, now I have it. thanks
12:06 mk01 ok
12:12 dv_ jnettlet: I have some mpeg2 test videos
12:12 dv_ but interlacing has been causing me headaches
12:13 dv_ under some circumstances, the drivers seem to fail
12:13 jnettlet dv_, maybe we can compare the work that just landed in XBMC
12:13 dv_ hm yes
12:13 dv_ I will continue the plugins today anyway
14:12 mk01 recompiled & relinked xbmc, ...
14:12 mk01 but still cant connect to EGL functions
14:13 mk01 strange
14:22 mk01 ok, clear
14:23 mk01 the VIV libs from YOCTO package are messed
14:23 mk01 (not linked to FB)
21:59 johd hello there
22:00 johd I have just installed the latest geexbox build from http://download.geexbox.org/snapshots/geexbox-xbmc-imx6-cuboxi/latest/binaries.cuboxi/ on my 4pro
22:00 johd and it does not recognize wlan0
22:00 johd is this a known problem?
