| 23:59 | satellit | timm_ |
| 00:01 | satellit_e | timm__ I am using HDMI |
| 00:33 | timm__ | satellit_e: jmontleo can probably tell us how to get rid of the console on hdmi if you want to be rid of the nuisance messages. You need to edit /boot/uEnv.txt |
| 00:37 | satellit_e | ok do you know what to edit? |
| 00:54 | timm__ | I think it is one of the console= phrases in mmcargs=setenv bootargs root=/dev/mmcblk0p3 rootfstype=ext4 rootwait console=ttymxc0,115200n8 console=tty1 video=mxcfb0:dev=hdmi,1920x1080M@60,if=RGB24,bpp=32 ahci_imx.hotplug=1 cma=64M |
| 00:56 | timm__ | the baudrate on console=ttymxc0,115200n8 makes me think that is the serial port, which would make tty1 hdmi, but it is a funny device for hdmi |
| 00:56 | timm__ | I would get the ability to ssh in before I edit it, so you can get back in there |
| 01:00 | satellit_e | timm__ I installed vi and can see the file...not sure to edit |
| 01:00 | timm__ | be aware that these are boot arguments, so messing it up might mean it won't boot. |
| 01:01 | satellit_e | took picture and am trying to save and decipher the args. Do not see anyting relative to the script |
| 01:02 | timm__ | do you have the ability to mount the sdcard on another linux machine or vm? |
| 01:02 | satellit_e | my fedora laptop has broken SD slot will try on 6 in one reader and adapter.... |
| 01:05 | timm__ | I find the serial console works really well |
| 01:05 | satellit_e | mssege it brcmf mac: bcrmf_cfg80221_sched_scan_start Invalid sched scan req!! n_ssids:0 |
| 01:05 | satellit_e | message is* |
| 01:05 | timm__ | I use putty to access it. the hardest part is finding a micro usb that fits |
| 01:06 | timm__ | yes, I see those messages constantly in the console, but not when I ssh in |
| 01:07 | timm__ | just plug an ethernet wire into the connector and it is already set up for dhcp |
| 01:08 | timm__ | use ifconfig in the console to get the ip address and away you go |
| 01:08 | satellit_e | I believe I have ethernet wire and wireless here I can use internet for yum |
| 01:10 | satellit_e | wlan0 is on per iwconfig |
| 01:10 | timm__ | what does ifconfig say about eth0? |
| 01:12 | satellit_e | IEEE 802.11bgn ESSIDoff/any Mode: managed Acesspoin: Not_Asscociated Tx-Power=1496 dbm Retry short limit 7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr;OFF |
| 01:13 | satellit_e | Encription key:off Power Management:off |
| 01:13 | satellit_e | this is wlan0 |
| 01:13 | satellit_e | eth0 no wireless extensions |
| 01:13 | timm__ | nmcli dev wifi connect password will connect to wifi |
| 01:14 | satellit_e | ok will try later as script interrups any long entrys |
| 01:15 | timm__ | ok talk to you later. I got to leave. |
| 01:15 | satellit_e | hop you next build works better... |
| 01:15 | satellit_e | bye |

| 06:08 | _dab_ | Can someone articulate the switch/router failure with waits on low end routers? I have netgear asking (they might fix it). |
| 06:14 | jnettlet | _dab_, it has to do with hardware flow negotation that is specified as part of the gigabit spec. |
| 06:19 | _dab_ | thanks jnettlet: I will try that description and see how I go. |
| 06:27 | _dab_ | jnettlet: Can you name a switch/router brand/model that works? |
| 06:28 | jnettlet | _dab_, I can't name one that doesn't work. But my Trendnet tew-639gr doesn't have a problem. It negotiates to off but doesn't exhibit the pause/hang that has been reported. |
| 06:28 | _dab_ | tank you |
| 06:30 | _dab_ | s/t/th/ |
| 06:33 | _dab_ | FYI: Netgear FVS318N fails |
| 06:40 | jnettlet | _dab_, interesting. can you check what the interface reports with ethtool? |
| 06:42 | jnettlet | ethtool -a eth0 will tell you what is going on. You can also disable it if you need to. |
| 06:43 | _dab_ | 1 minute |
| 07:10 | mk01 | guten morgen |
| 07:15 | jnettlet | god morgen |
| 07:38 | _dab_ | Autonegotiate: on |
| 07:38 | _dab_ | RX: off |
| 07:38 | _dab_ | TX: off |
| 07:43 | _dab_ | jnettlet: ethtool will not let me change the rx parameteer |
| 07:43 | jnettlet | _dab_, both rx and tx have to be the same, so you need to change both of them |
| 09:34 | rjc | hi all |
| 09:34 | rjc | I'm trying to get my original CuBox back into life |
| 09:35 | _dab_ | jnettlet: did that, no change in iperf, but less overruns |
| 09:35 | rjc | but when I connect the serial cable I can see: |
| 09:35 | rjc | Hit any key to stop autoboot: 1 |
| 09:36 | rjc | first of all, it starts with '1', and second of all, it doesn't respond to keys being pressed |
| 09:36 | rjc | has anyone came across that issue? |
| 09:36 | rjc | how can I get the U-Boot prompt back? |
| 09:36 | mk01 | _dab_ jnettlet what is the discussion? slow eth ? |
| 09:43 | _dab_ | overruns on receive, iperf maxes out at 13mbit/sec receive and 44mbit/sec send. Presumption is that it is caused by the switch |
| 09:44 | _dab_ | 130mbit/sec |
| 09:44 | _dab_ | one colleague report a max of 30mbit/sec receive |
| 09:45 | _dab_ | something wrong with zero key. 130/440 |
| 09:49 | mk01 | switch with bandwidth of 130mbit/s ??? |
| 09:51 | _dab_ | the switch is supposedly gigbait, i4pro does no better than 130/440. Other boxes with e100 ethernet get 850/900 |
| 09:51 | rjc | again, I will answer myself - disable Hardware Flow Control |
| 09:51 | rjc | :P |
| 09:51 | mk01 | ok, understand |
| 09:53 | _dab_ | I would settle for 400/400 |
| 09:55 | jnettlet | _dab_, you won't get 400/400 the transmit speed is topping out in the 300's receive is up to about 530 or so |
| 09:56 | mk01 | jnettlet: 530 ? isn't eth0 on usb? |
| 09:56 | jnettlet | mk01, not at all. I don't know why people keep spreading that disinformation. |
| 09:57 | mk01 | becuase it was on Solidrun shop page :)) |
| 09:57 | mk01 | currently USB is taken out and this is still there: (*) 1000Mbps link is limited to 470Mbps actual bandwidth due to internal chip busses limitation |
| 09:57 | cbxbiker61 | jnettlet, i think they're just assuming it is so, since other arm device do it that way |
| 09:58 | jnettlet | mk01, yes that is what Freescale rates it at. |
| 09:58 | jnettlet | although their driver and the upstream one were horrible and rmk overhauled them and got a lot more performance out of them. |
| 09:59 | jnettlet | cbxbiker61, yep...the downfall of the internet |
| 10:01 | mk01 | guys, I'm 90% sure it was on Solidrun's product page. actually the same text only *busses was *USB2 |
| 10:01 | cbxbiker61 | those 64bit amd arm chips look technically interesting with 10G support |
| 10:04 | mk01 | cbxbiker61: are there any real products on market with arm64 ? I remember there was producer of server-line machines but closed business recently - only info I have. |
| 10:04 | cbxbiker61 | latest apple is 64bit, amd's should be 2nd half of this year |
| 10:05 | mk01 | yes, forgot put exclude on that |
| 10:06 | mk01 | they have own design on top ARM definitions. and of course supplying just own device group. |
| 10:06 | cbxbiker61 | amd looks to want to do heavy network traffic with relatively light processors |
| 10:10 | mk01 | cbxbiker61: to be honest and speaking only pure my opinion, ... I don't feel currently the limitations on speed / bus bandwidth - the other way around - don't have usage for more. only what bothers me is the memory addressing / vmalloc |
| 10:13 | cbxbiker61 | mk01, i have a server process that needs to pass messages/data back and forth between kernel and 2 userspace programs, it's currently using low-level primatives, but it occassionally glitches |
| 10:13 | cbxbiker61 | i'm just getting started on rewriting it to use kdbus |
| 10:14 | cbxbiker61 | kdbus is just stabilizing now, but its potential for my type of scenario is huge |
| 10:16 | jnettlet | cbxbiker61, yeah I was using the old implementation. |
| 10:19 | mk01 | colleagues, jnettlet: should the spdif not be working on your stable ? |
| 10:20 | jnettlet | mk01, I don't have spdif right now to test it, but I am pretty sure the geexbox guys have tested it and it is working |
| 10:21 | mk01 | jnettlet: I don't have eq currently at hand too - so can't confirm. but after migration I got reports that SPDIF stopped working. |
| 10:21 | mk01 | jnettlet: and as I read forums (any - xbmc/geek/solid). SPDIF is nada |
| 10:21 | mk01 | jnettlet: don't want to believe that |
| 10:23 | jnettlet | mk01, it is very possible something isn't working properly. Do you have posts? |
| 10:24 | jnettlet | the thing is I don't have time to keep track of every users problem in the forums. I heavily rely on the distro maintainers to get back to me. |
| 10:24 | mk01 | jnettlet: why I don't want to believe is because dmesg shows ok mappings, alsa correct devices, pcm settings, speaker test shows playing on the device. simply no indication to anything |
| 10:25 | jnettlet | yep I agree, but it could be a clock problem |
| 10:25 | mk01 | but all say that it's just silence |
| 10:26 | mk01 | jnettlet: just wanted to point that I have nothing to provide to you. beside clean logs of anything and the "not working". |
| 10:28 | jnettlet | mk01, actually a log could be useful. spdif is using sdma to transmit the audio. Perhaps it is a problem with the sdma firmware loading. |
| 10:28 | mk01 | nope |
| 10:28 | mk01 | double checked |
| 10:28 | mk01 | [ 1.923243] imx-sdma 20ec000.sdma: loaded firmware 1.1 |
| 10:28 | mk01 | [ 1.925478] imx-sdma 20ec000.sdma: initialized |
| 10:28 | mk01 | but ok, will send you log. XBMC ? |
| 10:30 | mk01 | http://imx.solid-run.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=847&p=6004&hilit=spdif#p6004 the "general" claims are not so important, but Martin's feedback. actually comments only SMB. |
| 10:31 | mk01 | jnettlet: for other builds / distros all about the same. |
| 10:32 | mk01 | jnettlet: but wanted to ask you because for 3.0.35 it was more or less mostly the same but I it worked for our system with no issues. ... |
| 10:32 | jnettlet | mk01, well that list of things that don't work are mostly hardware limitations. |
| 10:32 | mk01 | so claims are like public psychosis sometimes |
| 10:33 | jnettlet | The micro-sd is limited to class 10, or 50mhz HS |
| 10:33 | jnettlet | the SPDIF light is a gpio problem, which I know about. |
| 10:33 | mk01 | jnettlet: the list as is is not the point. I told you. user's talking is like my Grandma |
| 10:34 | jnettlet | No standby for cubox-i is correct. There is no standby, just low power mode, which does work. |
| 10:34 | mk01 | Just posted this one as Martin is doing the Geekbox builds daily |
| 10:34 | jnettlet | although I plan on making it better |
| 10:34 | jnettlet | This one is interesting. http://imx.solid-run.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=716 |
| 10:34 | jnettlet | pass-through is broken and normal mode only supports 2-channel |
| 10:35 | jnettlet | I believe the xbmc guys were looking at the latter mode. |
| 10:35 | mk01 | I'm aware of this |
| 10:36 | mk01 | but speaker test sending noise is doing mono(I run -c2 stereo) mode. |
| 10:36 | jnettlet | so spdif does work, but pass-through mode does not. That I can believe |
| 10:37 | mk01 | ok, I will tripple ask the users the same and ask even for part of guisetting |
| 10:43 | mk01 | jnettlet: isn't the 5.1 problem the issue with 24bits are not supported above 2channels ? |
| 10:44 | jnettlet | I have not looked into it because I was told the xbmc guys are. |
| 10:46 | mk01 | yes. it is in IEC958 docs |
| 10:46 | mk01 | clearly stated |
| 10:46 | jnettlet | mk01, the spdif code is really basic. which makes sense it isn't doing much. |
| 10:47 | jnettlet | but the big thing I notice between the 3.0.35 kernel and the 3.10 kernel is the spdif codec has added the formats SNDRV_PCM_FMTBIT_S20_3LE and SNDRV_PCM_FMTBIT_S24_LE |
| 10:47 | satellit_ | CuBox-i4P:I tested ubuntu-oneiric-freescale: It has very basic screen resolution and overruns my 20" HDMI monitor? Is there a fix coming for higher res? |
| 10:47 | jnettlet | perhaps one of those is being used instead of SNDRV_PCM_FMTBIT_S16_LE |
| 10:48 | jnettlet | satellit_, what is the native resolution of your monitor? |
| 10:49 | satellit_ | not sure: Dell 20" 1680x1050 @60 |
| 10:50 | jnettlet | satellit_, hmmm odd. hold off until I land my graphics patches. |
| 10:51 | satellit_ | ok other wise it works nicely |
| 10:51 | jnettlet | you could also try and force 720p and see what taht does |
| 10:51 | satellit_ | k |
| 10:51 | jnettlet | satellit_, also a lot of the dell monitors have an option to switch between, computer and video modes. You want to choose video if your monitor has that setting |
| 10:52 | satellit | 10:52 * satellit_ also debian has no networking... |
| 10:52 | satellit_ | thanks |
| 10:53 | mk01 | jnettlet: that's why I opened the 5.1 passthrough and 24 bits ... because this is even in IEC958 standard described as 20bit max (24 optional). as there is no bandwidth for it |
| 10:54 | mk01 | that's why I patched the drivers in kernel to support only S16_LE |
| 10:55 | jnettlet | mk01, adding #define DEBUG to sound/soc/fsl/fsl_spdif.c should give some useful debug info |
| 10:55 | jnettlet | mk01, okay so your kernel already carries a patch for that. |
| 10:55 | mk01 | yes |
| 10:55 | jnettlet | Really though, you can just do that in an asoundrc. |
| 10:55 | jnettlet | no reason to patch the kernel |
| 10:56 | mk01 | jnettlet: what should I say. wanted to be sure with the users |
| 10:56 | mk01 | :-. |
| 10:56 | mk01 | :-/ |
| 10:56 | jnettlet | if you could enable debugging in that driver for your builds it would be useful for collecting information |
| 10:58 | mk01 | will export with dyn debug right now. I see the code is updated to dev_dbg and _inf calls |
| 11:00 | mk01 | jnettlet: thanks for directions. |
| 11:00 | jnettlet | mk01, np ttyl |
| 11:07 | _dab_ | jnettlet: I get 440 tx |
| 11:09 | linaro_e | I get 640x480@60 for Ubuntu |
| 11:15 | mk01 | satellit_: 1680x1050 is not CEA resolution and driver is cutting it out from list of res |
| 11:16 | linaro_e | thanks |
| 11:16 | linaro_ | 11:16 * linaro_e old Dell E207WFP : / |
| 11:18 | mk01 | linaro_e: the "old" is not a problem :)) only driver is too picky. |
| 11:18 | linaro_e | ^ nice to know anyway... |
| 11:18 | mk01 | it is possible to strip that condition out, then (if EDID information is provided correctly by monitor) you would see wider list of resolutions |
| 11:18 | satellit | http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Sugar_Creation_Kit/sck/Advanced_Topics#CuBox-i4 |
| 11:19 | linaro_e | my testing ... |
| 11:19 | linaro_e | want to use it for XFCE school server so testing |
| 11:20 | linaro_e | xsce* |
| 11:20 | linaro_ | 11:20 * linaro_e too early |
| 11:24 | mk01 | linaro_e: for TESTING try this http://xbian.brantje.com/jnetker+/, don't tell jnettlet and use it for the resolutions only |
| 11:25 | linaro_e | zimage? |
| 11:25 | mk01 | yes |
| 11:25 | linaro_e | thanks |
| 11:25 | mk01 | (fw for vpu,sdma,wlan and BT) is not included |
| 11:27 | mk01 | just out of interest report back the resolutions. |
| 11:27 | linaro_e | k |
| 11:29 | linaro_ | 11:29 * linaro_e xsce is a server so this is tangential issue but thanks |
| 11:30 | linaro_ | 11:30 * linaro_e fedora 20 |
| 11:36 | satellit | http://web.dodds.net/~vorlon/wiki/blog/My_CuBox-i_has_arrived/ HDMI looks ok for debian but no networking.... |
| 11:36 | satelli | 11:36 * satellit here |
| 11:54 | jnettlet | mk01, the driver isn't too picky. But there is reasons that it is limited to CEA resolutions. The first and foremost being audio support. To support those other resolutions you need to switch to DVI mode and disable audio which isn't in the driver yet. |
| 11:55 | mk01 | jnettlet: "picky" on pure CEA |
| 11:55 | jnettlet | there should be nothing keeping networking on debian from working. It works everywhere else |
| 11:55 | mk01 | we had this discussions |
| 11:55 | jnettlet | mk01, yes, but like I said audio is only supported on CEA resolutions |
| 12:13 | mk01 | jnettlet: :) yes, but only because is disabled if CEA mode not in effect / found |
| 12:17 | mk01 | (when the timings are properly updated too of course) |
| 12:22 | jnettlet | it may work but there is no guarantee you can make the audio work at the proper frequency for non CEA modes. There are reports already that people have enabled it for the MX6 and audio does not play properly for non-CEA modes. Which is what I would expect |
| 12:23 | mk01 | yes, it is off correct clock |

| 15:00 | rjc | hi all |
| 15:00 | rjc | is the U-Boot set up with serial console on new CuBox-i4? |
| 15:01 | rjc | I connected the serial console to it, then booted without any micro SD card but didn't get any output |
| 15:02 | rjc | do I need to boot to a working image first in order to activate serial console? |
| 15:02 | timm_ | rjc: I think u-boot is on the sd card, so no card, no boot |
| 15:02 | rjc | oh |
| 15:02 | timm_ | there is a u-boot and spi only image |
| 15:02 | timm_ | for me the serial console works |
| 15:03 | rjc | so U-Boot is not in flash? |
| 15:03 | rjc | like it was in the original CuBox? |
| 15:03 | timm_ | rjc: no |
| 15:03 | rjc | right |
| 15:03 | rjc | good to know |
| 15:03 | rjc | :) |
| 15:04 | timm_ | I found SPL-U-Boot.img.xz, but don't remember where |
| 15:05 | timm_ | there's a very lite busybox as well |
| 15:06 | timm_ | http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/72661517/tbr/spl/u-boot.img |
| 15:06 | rjc | ta |
| 15:08 | rjc | I preferred to have U-Boot in the SPI - that way I didn't need the SD card to boot of TFTP or USB |
| 15:09 | rjc | oh well |
| 15:09 | rjc | you win some, you lose some |
| 15:09 | rjc | :) |
| 15:12 | satellit_e | timm__ tested 2nd .img http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Sugar_Creation_Kit/sck/Advanced_Topics#CuBox-i4 |
| 15:12 | jnettlet | rjc, there is no onboard storage for u-boot. This basically makes it impossible to brick the device. |
| 15:14 | satellit_e | how do I install to thinternal storage? I think my CuBox-i4P-300-D MAC has it |
| 15:15 | satellit_e | android microSD had the option (came with it) |
| 17:13 | MarcusVinter | is bt working on geexbox? |
| 18:25 | MarcusVinter | i stole the geexbox uImage, i have hte patchram by broadcom, and the driver from the internet. Yet i still get "cant get hci protocol" when i run the patchram on ubuntu. Any ideas anyone? Getting pretty desperate. |
| 18:28 | rabeeh | MarcusVinter: i think i saw posts that Xbian has BT working (Debian based) |
| 18:29 | MarcusVinter | :O as default? |
| 18:30 | MarcusVinter | or kernel-wise? |
| 18:30 | MarcusVinter | Either way, ill give it a shot right now. Thanks a lot! |
| 18:31 | rabeeh | notice that you need to install Xbian, then update it few times until it gets the latest kernel |
| 18:32 | MarcusVinter | Thank you, I'll do that right now. :) |
