IRC log of #cubox of Tue 01 Apr 2014. All times are in CEST < Back to index

00:13 coin3d hi. the cubox-i has a hardware clock, right? what must i do that it remembers the current time?
00:13 coin3d its always on 01-01-1970
00:20 CuBox_i4 I see to be unable to set the clock on my CuBox-i4P using the ubuntu.img
01:41 Tenkawa Got 3.14 running on my cubox-i ultra now
01:41 Tenkawa seems to run nice so far
02:55 Tenkawa Greetings all
03:02 Tenkawa gotta say... the dual core cubox running with just a usb attached ssd is nice.. will be even nicer once I can get my ssd attached directly to the sata port
03:02 Tenkawa 3.14 kernel also solved my unusual idle load average problem too
03:04 cbxbiker61 Tenkawa, that reboot timeout option with 3.14 is a great new feature, i have mine set to 60secs
03:04 cbxbiker61 right at the moment i'm getting an oops in the tc code, so it's coming in very handy
03:06 cbxbiker61 oops reboot timeout
03:07 Tenkawa ouch
03:07 Tenkawa 3.14 made things so much easier
03:08 cbxbiker61 not code that gets excercised extensively, since it's pretty much used only on routers
03:08 Tenkawa hmmm..
03:08 Tenkawa cbxbiker61: did you have to use newer firmware for the wireless?
03:09 Tenkawa its currently not showing up at all.. only the ethernet
03:09 Tenkawa (with 3.14)
03:09 Tenkawa I compiled BRCMFMAC (sdio and usb) in
03:09 cbxbiker61 at the moment i don't have a cubox-i...my router is the original cubox
03:10 Tenkawa ahh
03:10 cbxbiker61 today is the last day solid-run has to get my cubox shipped, otherwise they misled me on the ship date, since they said march
03:10 cbxbiker61 actually 4 cubox-i's
03:11 Tenkawa I actually found mine on a store shelf randomly one day looking for beaglebone parts
03:11 Tenkawa heheh
03:11 Tenkawa I was like "how did this get here"
03:12 cbxbiker61 yes, solid-run has definately changed their resale model
03:12 Tenkawa worked out for me
03:13 cbxbiker61 i think they'll do great, they just have to get production ramped up
03:13 Tenkawa granted wouldve been nice to get a quad but hey.. now I know I want one
03:13 Tenkawa my last i.mx6 experience wasnt nearly this nice
03:13 Tenkawa (different vendor)
03:14 Tenkawa I am very impressed so far
03:16 cbxbiker61 rabeeh is a very good engineer ;)
03:16 Tenkawa is the original cubox 2x2" too?
03:16 cbxbiker61 yep
03:17 Tenkawa nice
03:17 Tenkawa that is pretty darn cool
03:17 Tenkawa this form factor is great
03:17 Tenkawa at least for me
03:18 cbxbiker61 yes, it is very nice to be able to swap devices out easily/cheaply in the event of hardware fail
03:18 Tenkawa not only that.. just neat and not hard to cable up
03:19 Tenkawa which is nice once you put 3-5 on a shelf like I plan on
03:19 Tenkawa (currently 4 rpi's, 2 bbb's, and one cubox-i
03:20 cbxbiker61 a lot of the old school x86 fans haven't realized how useful a 2-5 watt box can be
03:20 Tenkawa my other i.mx6 is mostly decommmissioned
03:20 Tenkawa cbxbiker61: I hear ya
03:20 Tenkawa everything I have is either arm, mac, and 1 amd64 linux box running vms
03:21 Tenkawa 80-90% arm now
03:22 cbxbiker61 i've got two 8 core amd64's with 3 radeon 290x's apiece acting as my super-computer's...everthing else is pretty much just a client
03:22 Tenkawa heheheh
03:23 Tenkawa time to run for the evening..
03:23 Tenkawa cheers all
04:57 ralix morning
07:30 purch jnettlet: nice now I hate geexbox too, wget comes without https support
07:31 purch jnettlet: why devs have to cripple those xbmc distros?
07:32 jnettlet purch, just it request it we will add it.
07:33 jnettlet I am working with them now to expand their distro a bit.
07:33 jnettlet just been so caught up in work that I haven't gotten my stuff pushed yet.
07:36 purch I would love to help, but no time
07:36 purch difficult to get package from github as it only gives https links
07:39 jnettlet I am still trying to coordinate getting a central place where users can report bugs/enhancements for all the different projects. Everything is so splintered it is hard to keep track
07:46 purch jnettlet: I can feel your pain
08:34 atommann hi
08:34 atommann My friend told me the HummingBoard today. And he is wondering where he can get it.
08:34 atommann Is it ready for sale now?
08:43 jnettlet atommann, not yet, but very soon
08:44 cbxbiker61 jnettlet, do you know if they're bring gpio out on the header?
08:44 atommann jnettlet, thanks!
08:45 jnettlet cbxbiker61, yes. the layout has changed from the original Carrier 1 boards, but the extra gpios are still brought out to the RBpi compatible header
08:45 atommann I noticed that there's no RCA connector.
08:46 jnettlet for video no. It is a digital CoAx for audio
08:46 cbxbiker61 as long as i get some gpios to work with on the header, i'll be able to drop it in place of my pi's
08:46 cbxbiker61 mostly it'd be nice to standardize on armv7
08:46 jnettlet and a chipset that wasn't slow as a dog
08:48 jnettlet the max SOC will be the dual-core IMX though. The quads generate too much heat for the bare board form factor
08:48 cbxbiker61 that's fine with me, i'd rather have the cube for a quad anyway
08:50 cbxbiker61 i told rabeeh early on, that'd be nice if they would do hummingboards as well as cuboxes, i'm sure they are busy as hell though gettting it all done
08:52 rabeeh cbxbiker61: noted and worked accordingly :)
08:53 rabeeh HB 3 (production version) looks completely different than C1.... lots of goodies
08:53 rabeeh stay tuned...
08:58 cbxbiker61 interesting, the so versions weren't rev'd between mariadb 5.5 an 10.0, so i guess they're binary compatible, should just have to update/recreate the db's.
09:03 jnettlet if anyone wrote anything for me since I last chatted I missed it. the lowmmkiller and nouveau just combined to completely bring my machine to its knees
09:06 cbxbiker61 jnettlet, mesa 10.1+ was leaking memory quite bad on my radeon boxes, so i'm sticking with the 10.0.x versions for a while
21:13 pawelb1973 hello
21:13 pawelb1973 Somebody there?
21:14 pawelb1973 still quiet :(
21:15 jnettlet yep we are around
21:15 jnettlet the lull before the storm
21:18 pawelb1973 Are you happy owner of Cubox?
21:18 pawelb1973 I still waiting for mine. They don't answered on my mails. Do you know what happen?
21:19 jnettlet yes many.
21:19 jnettlet they are very busy
21:19 coin3d i ordered in november, and got it in february :(
21:20 jnettlet the demand has been much higher than anticipated. Which is good except smaller companies ramping up production is not easy.
21:20 pawelb1973 I guess that, but no re-mail is very good practise
21:21 jnettlet I don't believe it is necessarily a practice. Unfortunately with a small company trying to handle high demand some communications fall between the cracks.
21:22 pawelb1973 Tell them whos still not got ordered Cubox'es
21:22 jnettlet If you emailed support or sales, I am sure they have taken note.
21:23 pawelb1973 Event small company Can tell their customers what is gooin on
21:23 pawelb1973 by Website or forums and other comm channels
21:23 jnettlet the good news is, the development community is just getting ready for the final push of driver support and optimizations, so you haven't missed too much
21:24 pawelb1973 Maybe it is a apportunity to be SolidRun Partner in other Countries
21:26 pawelb1973 Demand is High so i can buy/sell very quick whit profit.
21:26 pawelb1973 :)
21:27 jnettlet very true.
21:29 pawelb1973 Anyway, the news about driver is good.
21:29 pawelb1973 Bye to all. Time to go home ( mine is 21:29) :D
21:30 jnettlet ttyl
22:10 coin3d jnettlet: do you know whats the current status of the 3.10 dvi fix? :D
22:20 davori 22:20 * davorin should change his name on the forum...to much private messages now (o;
22:20 coin3d now you know how a good-looking girl feels on a single dating platform
22:24 davorin well...almost (o;
