| 10:30 | esing | Where are the gpio's pin on the cubox-i? http://www.bitrebels.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/CuBox-PC-Pocket-Computer-2.jpg |
| 10:40 | MikeSeth | esing: they aren't soldered in |
| 10:40 | MikeSeth | esing: schematics are available on the forums |
| 10:45 | esing | MikeSeth, Thanks for the hint, do you have a link to that thread, because I don't find the gpio schematics |
| 10:45 | esing | I guess you mean there are no headers soldered, but existing lands? |
| 10:45 | MikeSeth | it's in the hardware forum somewhere |
| 10:45 | MikeSeth | yeah |
| 10:45 | esing | Thanks, I check that out |
| 10:46 | esing | I am not sure if it is worth waiting for the Hummingboard, because there's no official release announcement yet |
| 10:47 | MikeSeth | er, hummingboards are available and have been for a while |
| 10:47 | esing | Oh, you mean the development version C1? |
| 10:47 | MikeSeth | yeah |
| 10:48 | esing | Ye, there comes another version as I learned to know in this chat. Someone said the Hummingboard production line would be released in around 2 weeks |
| 10:48 | MikeSeth | oh they probably mean a new revision |
| 10:49 | esing | Hm I see. Do you know where I can acquire for a hummingboard. I thought it would be listed on cubox-i.com |
| 10:50 | MikeSeth | it is distributed freely to developers |
| 10:50 | MikeSeth | ask rabeeh here or mail [email protected] |
| 10:51 | esing | Good to know, thanks. I'll ask him |
| 13:51 | coinsen | jnettlet: compiling 3.10 right now with the patch you told me to apply ;) |
| 14:19 | jnettlet | coinsen, +1 |
| 15:39 | imemysel | anyone can help me installing openelec for cubox.i 4 |
| 15:40 | dv_ | i dont think i have seen openelec maintainers here |
| 15:41 | imemysel | :/ |
| 15:46 | jnettlet | dv_, imemysel there is someone around |
| 15:46 | jnettle | 15:46 * jnettlet can't remember for the life of me though |
| 15:46 | jnettlet | imemysel, maybe you should try the latest geexbox. It is running quite nicely. |
| 15:50 | imemysel | need cec support:/ |
| 15:51 | imemysel | is bluetooth running on the latest geekbox? |
| 15:55 | jnettlet | geexbox has cec support, but we are still sorting out bugs in it. CEC is really a mess. rmk has sorted out a sane kernel driver but we haven't attacked userspace yet. |
| 17:35 | ndoo | heya guys, does arch's DT kernel draw from SolidRun's git |
| 17:35 | ndoo | or do i need to submit patches to the pkgbuild or something |
| 17:44 | ndoo | ah nvm just saw that it pulls from SR's git |
| 18:07 | coinsen | ;) |
| 19:28 | dv_ | jnettlet: is the cec stuff hardcoded in geexbox, or could it be moved to yocto as well? |
| 19:29 | jnettlet | dv_, well most everything uses libCEC it is probably already in yocto |
| 19:30 | dv_ | I mean are there any imx6 specific patches that are in geexbox? |
| 19:30 | dv_ | for libcec |
| 19:30 | dv_ | I am reminded of warpedrudi's patches for the original cubox for example |
| 19:31 | jnettlet | dv_, yes but those patches are basically working around broken libCEC |
| 19:32 | jnettlet | as rmk has pointed out, because so many implementations are broken people have found various ways to kind of make it work but completely ignoring the spec. |
| 19:51 | Juggie | http://rss.slashdot.org/~r/Slashdot/slashdot/~3/wLef6z7bTqU/story01.htm |
| 20:00 | jnettlet | yes, it is very sad news. |
| 20:00 | jnettlet | a very strange happening |
| 20:05 | coinsen | jnettlet: seems like the patch doesnt work for me :( |
| 20:06 | jnettlet | coinsen, k. that doesn't surprise me actually. I was just making sure that I was correct and the old workaround still didn't apply. |
| 20:07 | jnettle | 20:07 * jnettlet promises that fixing this issue is high on is OSS hacking todo list. |
| 20:07 | coinsen | thanks |
| 20:07 | coinsen | i just wonder that |
| 20:07 | coinsen | https://github.com/SolidRun/linux-linaro-stable-mx6/pull/2 |
| 20:08 | coinsen | someone actually started a pull request, adressing the same problem |
| 20:10 | jnettlet | yes, that is why I wanted to use you and dv_ as guinea pigs. |
| 20:12 | coinsen | lol |
| 20:57 | slangen | jnettlet: a graphics questions. i have the package "gpu-viv-bin-mx6q-3.10.17-1.0.0-beta-hfp.bin" installed on a system with your 3.10.30 kernel |
| 20:57 | slangen | when i run "glxinfo" i get the following result |
| 20:57 | slangen | Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0". |
| 20:57 | slangen | Segmentation fault |
| 20:58 | slangen | what else am i missing? the package does not contain a libglx.so |
| 20:58 | slangen | and is the segmentation fault related to that? |
| 21:05 | _Rarity | Hello everybody. How do I set up Wifi on my headless server (Cubox-I 4Pro) running Arch Linux? |
| 21:07 | _Rarity | I have tried using "wifi-menu" tool as well as configuring netctl myself using the examples from /etc/netctl/examples, however it wont work. |
| 21:11 | _Rarity | ip link list tells me that the wlan0 is indeed up (after I run the ip link set wlan0 up) |
| 21:12 | jnettlet | slangen, what version of Xorg? |
| 21:12 | Phili | hi |
| 21:13 | Phili | i am looking for a distro recommendaion |
| 21:13 | Phili | does anyone want to help? |
| 21:14 | _Rarity | Phili, I can try, what do you need= |
| 21:14 | _Rarity | ?* |
| 21:17 | Phili | it will be used as a music player: cubox->DAC/AMP, it should also have a web browser which lets me play flash/divx videos through the browser and I would like to remote control it from my windows pc (and maybe smartphone if possible) |
| 21:17 | Phili | i forgot to mention that the music files are stored on a usb harddrive |
| 21:20 | _Rarity | Phili, that sounds like just the job for XMBC, but I'm not quite sure if it is possible to control remotelly from a Windows PC |
| 21:22 | Phili | thanks, i looked at it, but it doesn't seem to come with a web browser? |
| 21:23 | Phili | i was also considering android (but without play store it is limited) and ubuntu (which i think is must be slow on that hardware and do all ubuntu packages run on arm too? i thought they were limited to desktp cpus) |
| 21:24 | _Rarity | You're right, XMBC doesn't have Web Browser by default, but it is pretty easy to add a web browser from their "software center". |
| 21:25 | _Rarity | Android would play nice too, but again, I don't think it would play too nicely with Windows computers, and yeah, I think Ubuntu might be a little too much for a media box |
| 21:25 | Phili | and what kind of browser is it, is there no trouble with flash videos or withh plugins like vlc to play divx videos? |
| 21:27 | Phili | there are vnc apps on android which let you remte control it from winows, but without play store i can't buy that app... :/ |
| 21:28 | _Rarity | I have almost no experience with XMBC, so I don't know for sure, but it seems like both VLC and Flash are possible on XMBC, but you'll have to do some setup. |
| 21:30 | _Rarity | As for Android, some apps are available as downloads (.apk), so you don't need Play Store. I know you can download VLC that way, but it probably isn't possible for all the apps you want |
| 22:08 | coinsen | _Rarity: which kernel do you have? |
| 22:09 | _Rarity | 3.0.35-11 |
| 22:09 | _Rarity | coinsen: 3.0.35-11 |
| 22:12 | coinsen | hmm |
| 22:12 | coinsen | so when you run wifi-menu |
| 22:12 | coinsen | there are no networks at all? |
| 22:14 | _Rarity | Well, it says "Scanning for networks... Failed" and "No networks found" |
| 22:14 | _Rarity | Although there IS wifi (I'm using it on my other pc, just besides it) |
| 22:15 | _Rarity | Both 2.4G and 5G |
| 22:16 | _Rarity | Also, it is probably worth mentioning that ethernet works just fine |
| 22:17 | coinsen | _Rarity: on which channel does your wifi send? |
| 22:20 | coinsen | because my cubox can't find my wifi (which sends on channel 13) |
| 22:20 | coinsen | when i change the channel, it is able to find it |
| 22:21 | _Rarity | coinsen: Not quite sure what you are asking for, but my router is sat to "auto" |
| 22:21 | _Rarity | Should I set it to something specific? |
| 22:21 | coinsen | _Rarity: i guess channel 1 should work |
| 22:21 | coinsen | at least for me |
| 22:21 | coinsen | you can try it out |
| 22:24 | _Rarity | coinsen: AHA! THank you, channel 1 worked! |
| 22:24 | _Rarity | coinsen: thanks a lot :D |
| 22:32 | coinsen | _Rarity: are you registered in the forum? ;) |
| 22:35 | _Rarity | coinsen: Actually, it seems that SolidRun forums are having trouble registering new users. I have written an email regarding trouble creating a new account, but with no response yet. When I get my account, I will try to create a thread regarding my issue, and how it can be solved. |
| 22:37 | coinsen | hmm okay |
| 22:37 | coinsen | otherwise, you can post a "me too" on http://imx.solid-run.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=774 |
| 22:41 | _Rarity | Will do :) |
| 23:21 | coinsen | _Rarity: btw i just tried out wifi in android. channel 13 doesnt work there, too |
| 23:22 | coinsen | i hope its not hardware related |
| 23:27 | _Rarity | coinsen: Yeah. But right now I'm just happy it works :) |
| 23:27 | _Rarity | Anyways, gotta go. Thanks for the help! |
| 23:28 | coinsen | yup, me too |
| 23:28 | coinsen | gn8 |
| 23:35 | slangen | jnettlet: my xorg-server version is 1.14.3 |
| 23:36 | jnettlet | slangen, yeah I was having problems with their binaries and new xorg servers. I haven't had time to spend on tracking down the breakage |
| 23:37 | slangen | jnettlet: so what would you consider an appropriate version |
| 23:37 | slangen | maybe i can downgrade |
| 23:37 | jnettlet | something with the 1.13 abi |
| 23:37 | slangen | jnettlet: okay, thanks. i will try that when i have the time |
| 23:38 | jnettlet | slangen, what distro are you using? |
| 23:38 | slangen | jnettlet: i'm trying to use Gentoo |
| 23:38 | jnettlet | oh okay. you should have no problems then |
| 23:38 | slangen | and i might like to run xbmc |
| 23:39 | jnettlet | well that is more of a project. although with the standard github repo now it is much easier. |
| 23:39 | jnettlet | But that just runs on the framebuffer device. I have an old build that will run under X11 but I haven't maintained it in a few months |
| 23:40 | slangen | jnettlet: for the moment i'm just experimenting and want to see what is already working |
| 23:42 | slangen | jnettlet: i also wonder how far the etnaviv drivers are? has anyone already experiences with them? |
| 23:43 | jnettlet | slangen, they just got them working for the GC2000 chipset. They still need quite a bit of love, right now they just do rendering directly on the framebuffer. |
| 23:44 | jnettlet | I have been trying to plot a plan for the userspace driver development of etnaviv the past few months, trying to come up with a path forward without having to write drivers for xorg/wayland/fbdev/kms/dri/directfb etc. |
| 23:44 | slangen | jnettlet: but i assume they are not ready for a productive "desktop" system? |
| 23:45 | slangen | jnettlet: and how far is that plan? :) |
| 23:45 | jnettlet | I have a few dev paths I need to explore. It is pretty far along. |
| 23:46 | jnettlet | since support for the GC2000 just started appearing a week or so ago and there is no userspace for them other than fbdev I would say they aren't ready for primetime desktop usage. |
| 23:47 | jnettlet | really with the patches we have added to our kernels the gpu is pretty solid with vivante's binary drivers. |
| 23:47 | slangen | jnettlet: okay, sounds nice, looks like i have to stay connected to this irc channel :) |
| 23:48 | jnettlet | sure. |
| 23:48 | slangen | jnettlet: so your recommendation would be to try for the moment the binary drivers and wait a little bit for the others |
| 23:48 | slangen | ? |
| 23:49 | jnettlet | slangen, yes. |
| 23:50 | jnettlet | join the Cubox-i community on Google+ we will generally post most major dev items over there. |
