| 01:22 | scattym | Hey all. Just wondering if anyone has compiled the dm_mod module for archlnux on the cuboxi? I am pretty sure that's what is missing, running dmsetup ls fails and complains about /dev/mapper/control not being there. |
| 02:06 | Coburn | .seen |
| 02:06 | Coburn | anyone seen rmk around? |
| 11:37 | scattym | Hey all. Just wondering if anyone has compiled the dm_mod module for archlnux on the cuboxi? I am pretty sure that's what is missing, running dmsetup ls fails and complains about /dev/mapper/control not being there. |
| 11:38 | scattym | Which I think is an incorrect error, the lack of kernel module is the real problem I believe/hope. |
| 12:01 | scattym | I certainly can't find dm_mod.ko or anything similar |
| 12:01 | scattym | And I can't see a .config for the kernel so don't know if it's supposed to be compiled in (and not a module) |
| 12:01 | scattym | But I certainly can't get any device mapper stuff working |
| 12:02 | scattym | Like I could on the old cubox |
| 12:18 | aplund | and they said it couldn't be done: http://imx.solid-run.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=749&p=5323#p5323 |
| 12:38 | coinsen | hmm |
| 12:38 | coinsen | aplund: are you complaining about the red light? |
| 12:40 | coinsen | scattym: youre running archlinux? |
| 12:49 | aplund | aplund: the toslink one |
| 12:49 | aplund | gah! |
| 12:49 | aplund | coinsen: that is. I am egotistical though. |
| 12:55 | scattym | coinsen: yup, seems to be an old kernel though... Linux cuboxi4 3.0.35-11 #1 SMP PREEMPT Thu Feb 20 07:27:44 MST 2014 armv7l GNU/Linux |
| 12:56 | scattym | my old cubox is a 3.5.7 kernel |
| 12:56 | scattym | and has the dm_mod module loaded |
| 13:00 | coinsen | scattym: yea, the latest kernel for the cubox-i is 3.10, but it is still "unstable" |
| 13:00 | coinsen | scattym: try to install the kernel headers on arch for the 3.0 kernel |
| 13:00 | coinsen | and then you can probably build the module for yourself |
| 13:01 | coinsen | let me check that |
| 13:03 | coinsen | aplund: my toslink light is off |
| 13:05 | aplund | coinsen: sorry, which kernel are you using? |
| 13:05 | coinsen | aplund: the default 3.0 kernel that came with arch |
| 13:06 | aplund | coinsen: yeah. I was talking about the 3.10 kernel |
| 13:06 | coinsen | aplund: i booted 3.10 some minutes ago, im pretty sure the light was off as well |
| 13:06 | aplund | coinsen: who's branch? |
| 13:07 | coinsen | didnt build it myself, i used the pre-built one |
| 13:07 | aplund | yeah.. ok. But from where? |
| 13:08 | aplund | oh.. and I guess it will depend on which u-boot you use too. |
| 13:09 | coinsen | aplund: just tried something out |
| 13:09 | coinsen | i started xbmc |
| 13:09 | coinsen | changed the audio source from hdmi to spdif, and the light went on |
| 13:10 | coinsen | and turns off again, when i switch back to hdmi |
| 13:10 | coinsen | now it would be interesting what xbmc actually does in the background |
| 13:10 | aplund | that's how it should be, but the pins aren't set correctly in my 3.10 kernel (jnettlet's one). |
| 13:11 | coinsen | hmm |
| 13:11 | coinsen | aplund: where can i find jnettlets kernel? |
| 13:13 | aplund | coinsen: I don't know about any binaries, but it's here https://github.com/linux4kix/linux-linaro-stable-mx6 |
| 13:17 | coinsen | ah, thanks |
| 13:18 | scattym | I just tried to upgrade to 3.10 hoping the dm_mod module would be there. How do I change the boot kernel? The new file seems to be in /boot as zImage, do I copy this over uImage? |
| 13:19 | coinsen | scattym: no, you have to install alarm/uboot-cubox-i |
| 13:20 | coinsen | before that, delete /boot/SPL and /boot/uboot.img |
| 13:20 | dv_ | and I guess if you build jnettlets kernel you also need to call: make uImage |
| 13:20 | scattym | I didn't build this kernel, it's available through pacman out of core |
| 13:20 | coinsen | scattym: maybe you will have to build it ;) |
| 13:21 | coinsen | i'm not sure why there is no dm_mod included |
| 13:21 | coinsen | i mean - at least as module |
| 13:21 | dv_ | jnettlets kernel is available through pacman? |
| 13:21 | scattym | No idea who's tree it is |
| 13:21 | scattym | just saw it there and installed |
| 13:22 | coinsen | i think it is jnettlets |
| 13:22 | coinsen | there is no other 3.10 kernel around |
| 13:22 | dv_ | 3.10.30 ? |
| 13:22 | dv_ | otherwise it might be one of the other 3.10 projects |
| 13:22 | scattym | core/linux-imx6-cubox-dt 3.10.30-4 [installed] |
| 13:23 | dv_ | hm yes this might be the one |
| 13:24 | coinsen | btw guys, why doesnt freescale offer kernel patches? |
| 13:24 | dv_ | they have their own forked kernel |
| 13:24 | dv_ | which is ... 3.0.35 |
| 13:25 | coinsen | oh, okay |
| 13:25 | dv_ | also, other companies have been porting to 3.10 for them |
| 13:25 | dv_ | there are several parallel projects going on about this. it is a mess. I'd bet on jnettlets kernel though |
| 13:25 | dv_ | since this is community driven and has lots of bugfixes |
| 13:27 | scattym | ok, removed SPL, uImage and u-boot.img installed uboot-cubox-i |
| 13:27 | scattym | new SPL and u-boot.img came in |
| 13:27 | scattym | have a zImage file but no uImage |
| 13:27 | scattym | reboot? |
| 13:27 | coinsen | reboot! |
| 13:27 | scattym | haha |
| 13:27 | scattym | :) |
| 13:27 | coinsen | and good luck |
| 13:27 | dv_ | newer uboot can read zImage |
| 13:28 | coinsen | scattym: do you use wifi? |
| 13:28 | scattym | nah, cables all the way |
| 13:28 | coinsen | scattym: do you use hdmi <-> dvi connector? |
| 13:28 | scattym | hdmi straight into monitor |
| 13:28 | coinsen | great |
| 13:29 | coinsen | because if you were using a hdmi dvi connector, you would probably get a blank screen |
| 13:29 | coinsen | just like me. :( |
| 13:29 | scattym | and am now on 3.10. thanks for that |
| 13:30 | coinsen | scattym: does dm_mod work? |
| 13:30 | scattym | haha, looks like i'll have to go and build the module. still not present |
| 13:30 | coinsen | damn |
| 13:30 | scattym | lol at trying to take the easy way out :) |
| 13:42 | jnettlet | coinsen, try this older patch for your dvi problems. https://github.com/Freescale/meta-fsl-arm-extra/blob/master/recipes-kernel/linux/linux-cubox-i-3.0.35/mxc_hdmi-dont-require-cea-mode.patch |
| 13:42 | jnettlet | it isn't a fix but a work-a-round. |
| 13:57 | scattym | downloading core/linux now... is the .config file used to build 3.10 for the cubox-i somewhere? |
| 13:59 | dv_ | I guess its the default cubox-i config |
| 13:59 | dv_ | https://github.com/linux4kix/linux-linaro-stable-mx6/blob/linux-linaro-lsk-mx6/arch/arm/configs/imx_v7_cubox-i_hummingboard_defconfig <- this one |
| 14:00 | scattym | nice, thx again for the help |
| 15:54 | ndoo | hi guys! i would like to re-compile the 3.10.30 kernel to patch mxc_hdmi.c to allow non-CEA resolutions |
| 15:54 | ndoo | where do i get started? i'm on mac os x |
| 15:54 | ndoo | i could always do a VM, in which case, which distro would work easily |
| 16:38 | wbx | ndoo: you need a cross-compiler targeting armhf |
| 16:40 | ndoo | would it be sufficient to do a minimal debian, git pull, presumably make defconfig and install the prerequisites? |
| 16:43 | wbx | ndoo: I thought you are running MacOS X? |
| 16:44 | ndoo | Might just be easier to do it on Debian :P |
| 16:44 | wbx | ndoo: i see no difference ;P |
| 16:44 | wbx | ndoo: you still need a cross-compiler. I regulary build cross-compilers on Darwin. targeting linux armhf |
| 16:45 | ndoo | Heh! Alright! To the googles/macports! |
| 18:17 | coinsen | jnettlet: thank you! |
| 18:17 | jnettlet | coinsen, that means it is working okay? |
| 19:20 | coinsen | jnettlet: couldnt try it out yet |
| 19:20 | coinsen | but i will soon |
| 19:20 | coinsen | not at home right now |
| 20:14 | mrsmithy | anyone around who can help me installing openelec on my cubox-i 4pro? |
