00:14 pask 'lo i heart about a big problem with DVI screen with cubox ? Is it true ?
00:15 pask many people said there is a problem
00:23 pask no !!?
01:11 pask ...
03:24 aplund does anyone have uhs-I working on the 3.10 kernel?
03:24 aplund err. the 3.0 kernel
03:24 aplund I cannot get it working on the 3.10 kernel, the signal voltage switch doesn't seem to happen right
04:57 aplund well... I can see why UMS-1 doesn't work, but I have no idea why.
04:58 aplund when the voltage switch command is sent (CMD11) everything seems fine, but the DAT[3:0] bits in the present state register don't go high again.
04:58 aplund that is after the clock is turned off and on.
04:59 aplund I've tried increasing the delay but that doesn't help
05:00 aplund also, does anyone know if this line is right for the pinmux: "MX6QDL_PAD_GPIO_4__SD2_CD_B 0x1b071"
05:00 aplund it does seem to make the card detect bits go high
05:01 aplund but I don't see the card state stable bit going high.
06:11 jnettlet aplund, uhs-I speeds are not supported on CBi. There is a hardware problem that was diagnosed.
06:11 aplund jnettlet: as in, it's impossible?
06:12 jnettlet aplund, yes without a hardware fix
06:12 aplund :( that's a real pain
06:14 jnettlet that is why none of the marketing material contains the spec.
06:16 jnettlet the new hummingboard will contain the fix. I am not sure what plans are for future CBi's
06:17 aplund whats the problem? is it a homebrew fix?
06:18 jnettlet depends how good you are at soldering small pins
06:22 aplund not great.
08:50 ralix morning@all
09:00 jnettlet morning ralix
09:03 ralix jnettlet, Did you eventually run xbmc Cubox on? If yes under which distro?
09:04 jnettlet ralix, I had Cubox running under Xorg on Linaro 12.04, and 12.10
09:04 jnettlet it required a fair amount of patching
09:06 wbx jnettlet: what driver do you use for Xorg for cubox-i?
09:07 wbx fbdev or is there a driver for the gpu?
09:07 ralix At the moment I only have an old Cubox and a utilit�. Smallint (a friend by me) should get his new one. I want the same times to use my Archlinux (as well as my utilte) to test. Too bad you do not have Archlinux;-)
09:07 jnettlet wbx, depends which one I am working on. The most used Xorg driver is the one used in Yocto
09:08 jnettlet it uses the framebuffer driver, and has accelerated 2d/3d.
09:08 jnettlet But it only supports up to Xorg 14.3 I think
09:11 wbx jnettlet: and what is the alternative approach?
09:11 jnettlet wbx, nothing that is ready for general use yet.
09:12 wbx jnettlet: I thought fbdev is 2d only. does the yocto driver provide 3d functionality on top of the standard fbdev driver?
09:12 ralix I use at the moment also the fb, and it looks fine ...
09:12 jnettlet wbx, Any Xorg driver only supports 2D acceleration. You then need a DRI and Mesa driver that accelerates 3D
09:12 wbx jnettlet: and what is required to let the gpu work with xbmc? is xorg needed?
09:12 jnettlet Vivante provides binaries for those.
09:13 jnettlet to have it work with XBMC right now you actually can't use Xorg. It is only supported on the raw framebuffer.
09:13 jnettlet wbx, you can get more complete information from the forums than me.
09:14 wbx do I need binary blobs for raw framebuffer?
09:14 wbx jnettlet: hey, you are the cubox expert. ;)
09:14 jnettlet wbx, well thanks, but I am also busy and lots of other community members have been good enough to document everything in the forums.
09:15 wbx jnettlet: what happened to russell?
09:16 jnettlet wbx, all the -devel work has moved over to the OFTC server. With the increased userbase we needed a separate channel to focus on drivers/kernel/u-boot work.
09:16 wbx which channel? or is it private?
09:17 jnettlet OFTC #cubox-devel. It is not private, but it is very focused on dev only discussions.
09:17 ralix :)
09:18 wbx will dive into the xbmc forum stuff...
09:20 wbx still preparing stuff, no hardware arrived, yet.
14:26 _dab_ Can someone point me at a site/git that has any patches for the i4pro FEC? Will test/debug anything that stands a chance offixing my bugs.
14:27 _dab_ Or is RMKs patch list as good as it gets?
14:59 Jansmolders86 Hej guys, I was wondering if any of you had any experience running a webkit browser in kiosk mode on cubox devices. I'm especially interested in the speed in which can handle javascript
18:08 TwoNotes When I plug my external hard drive into the Cubox USB port, it seems not to notice.
18:09 TwoNotes Yet this same drive works on other systems with same OS, and other USB things (keyboard, thumb drive) are recognized
18:10 purch manual mount? which file system?
18:11 purch which os in yuor cbox?
18:11 purch cubox
18:11 TwoNotes Arch Linux. ext4 gfile system
18:11 TwoNotes dmesg has zero messages about the new device plgging in
18:12 TwoNotes I do not get as far as the mount comand. It is like I never plgged it in
18:12 purch does usb drive have external power?
18:13 TwoNotes Both USB sockets do work - I connected my keyboard to them and it shows up
18:13 TwoNotes The USB drive does spin up, but I tried connecting external power as well - still nothing
18:13 TwoNotes It has one of those "Y" cables
18:14 TwoNotes The hard drive has ID 14cd:6116
18:14 purch any other usb drive works?
18:15 TwoNotes I know the eSATA port works OK - I have another disk working there.
18:15 TwoNotes I know a thumb flash drive works ok in the cubox
18:15 TwoNotes And this hard drive works on other systems
18:15 purch sounds wierd
18:15 TwoNotes yes
18:15 TwoNotes I am considering getting an eSATA enclosure for this disk so I can connect it that way
18:15 purch bad contact in cable?
18:16 TwoNotes Same cable works elsewhere
18:17 TwoNotes I expect messages like "[14128.142136] usb-storage 1-1.4.4:1.0: USB Mass Storage device detected"
18:18 TwoNotes That is what happens when I plug this drive into other computers
18:18 TwoNotes All my computers run Arch Linux
18:18 purch or any dmesg row atleast
18:18 TwoNotes Of course the Cubox has a slighly older kernel version
18:18 TwoNotes yeah. EVen a message saying the device is not supported because the ID does not match or something
18:52 TwoNotes I recall that one USB port is preferred over the other for hard disks. Which is it?
19:09 davorin top one
20:22 dozn What's the reason for that?
20:22 dozn Trying to figure out if it would affect any other use cases
20:22 dozn Available bandwidth?
20:27 TwoNotes Higher interrupt priority?
22:39 alpha_one_x86 I have start my MMORPG server under cubox-i, and profiled it, it's very interresting, someone wish the result?
