06:55 aural How does the CuBox-i4Pro compare to the ODROID-U3 with regards to XBMC performance with vartiety of encoded 1080P videos?
06:56 aural I presume that the network (gigabit) connectivity prevents that as a bottleneck for streaming that is more concerning with the ODROID-U3
07:25 jnettlet aural, even 100BT internet is more than capable of handling streaming. Raw Blue-ray format has a data rate of 53.95Mbps
07:26 jnettlet currently I have no problems streaming 1080p content even on the lowest end CBI/HB1. single-core 512MB's DDR.
07:27 jnettlet and we are constantly working to optimize the performance experience.
12:22 rigo_ hey. can i get the full quality and speed from cubox what i get right now from an amd e450 asus board?
12:23 cbxbiker61__ rigo_, they're pretty close depending on what you're doing
12:23 rigo_ i saw some youtube videos and im not convinced. however cubieboard (which is weaker as cubox) works almost fine.. so cubox should work good.
12:24 rigo_ yep sorry. as htpc. movies hd movies with hd sound. and xbmc
12:25 cbxbiker61__ here's how it is today... an e450 plays everything you can through at it with the exception of something like h265 which is really experimental at this time anyway
12:25 cbxbiker61__ e450 will handle all of the high-def audio passthrough formats
12:26 cbxbiker61__ cubox-i will handle pretty much all of the same video that an e450 can handle...
12:27 rigo_ cbxbiker61__: pretty much means? :) i dont want to see laggy videos or menunavigations or laggy/unplayable sound.
12:27 cbxbiker61__ but i'm pretty sure the high-def audio formats doesn't have driver support yet, that will be one of my focuses as soon i get my order of 4 cubox-is
12:28 cbxbiker61__ laggy can't be use for either device
12:28 cbxbiker61__ video ==, high dev audio formats !=
12:29 cbxbiker61__ so unless you want to drive a multi-speaker high-def surround setup through an amp that does the docode, they are pretty much eqaul
12:30 cbxbiker61__ docode/decode
12:31 cbxbiker61__ what's the chip after e450?...that's the one i have, and i have tested the cubox-i devboard
12:31 rigo_ i guess i must wait a bit.
12:32 cbxbiker61__ what are you doing?
12:32 rigo_ wait for the software to be complete.
12:33 cbxbiker61__ your driving an hdmi decoding amp?
12:33 rigo_ in fact i have a tevii s662 what doenst work with arm-s yet.
12:33 rigo_ yep. a yamaha rx-v1067
12:33 rigo_ pretty much of a high end stuff (for me at least)
12:34 cbxbiker61__ the zotac amd micro with remote control works great with linux
12:35 cbxbiker61__ my goal will be to bring the cubox-i audio handling up to the capability of the amd hardware, i'd guess it may take up to a year
12:36 cbxbiker61__ but in the meantime i'll have to zotac attached to the tuner, and use cubox-i's everywhere else
12:36 cbxbiker61__ the cubox-i hardware is great
12:37 rigo_ its "large" for me. i wouls hide the cubox behind the tv somewhere. i have an asus e45m1-m deluxe. it is a mini itx either. still needs more power and space as a cubox.
12:37 rigo_ yep looks good. but would need more software support. or more developers.
12:38 rigo_ cec has also problems as i read.
12:38 cbxbiker61__ well arm hardware just doesn't have the resources of an amd/intel/nvidia, so it takes a while
12:38 rigo_ right. but needs almost no power at all :)
12:39 cbxbiker61__ i meant resources as in developer resources
12:39 rigo_ i see. ok. misunderstood.
12:39 rigo_ too bad. this is the future. i hope.. not the large atx boards with 10" coolers and loads of noise and power usage..
12:40 cbxbiker61__ i like my zotac...but it does make some noise and heat
12:42 cbxbiker61__ everyone is going to the smaller form-factors including amd/intel
12:43 cbxbiker61__ i had a 6 core with dedicated graphics, prior to switching over to the zotac....you really can't tell the difference in xbmc

18:07 coin3d hey there guys. i can
18:08 coin3d i can't get IR working on archlinux
18:08 coin3d neither on 3.0.35, nor on 3.10
18:08 coin3d the lirc devices are created successfully, but the remotes dont work properly
18:09 coin3d when i use pre-defined configs (e.g. for apple remote), no key presses are recognized at all
18:09 coin3d anyone got an idea?
19:14 esing Hi, I expected Hummingboard to be released in March, but I didn't see any announcements yet. Are there new informations about its release?
19:16 davorin version 3.0 in manufacturing...
19:16 davorin no release date yet...
19:17 jnettlet core developers should be receiving boards soon. Which means product release will be after that.
19:18 jnettlet I just saw a few of the early press photos. It looks good!
19:18 jnettlet if you are into ARM dev boards :-P
19:19 suihkulokki :)
19:19 davori 19:19 * davorin ordered jetson tk1 (o;
19:20 davorin my hb2.0 should arrive tomorrow...
19:20 jnettlet really? that is a lot of chip
19:20 davorin well..preordered two of those
19:20 jnettlet yeah I am waiting for my care-package but didn't get a shipping notice.
19:21 rabeeh jnettlet: care package will be on the way on Sunday
19:21 rabeeh your shipment was delayed because we started shipping to customers first !
19:21 jnettlet rabeeh, ah okay.
19:21 davorin any1 tried the radxa?
19:22 rabeeh sorry for the delays; but you should be happy since you will get a pretty good hacked CBi on the way too (with the p channel transistor)
19:23 jnettlet :-)
19:23 jnettlet perfect timing. I should have my second revision of 3.10.30 sorted by then
19:23 esing rabeeh: Oh, so customer could already purchase the HB?
19:24 jnettlet and possibly my first attempt at a DirectFB driver based on etnaviv
19:24 rabeeh esing: not yet
19:24 esing Ah, you meant you shipped other boards like cubox to customers first.
19:25 rabeeh about 100 protos were manufactured of rev 2.0 and rev 3.0 is the mass production one
19:25 rabeeh esing: yes. CBi for customers first since there was a long long long queue
19:27 esing Core developers check how different linux distributions work with cubox hardware and patch addtitional stuff?
19:27 esing s\cubox\Hummingboard v3.0
19:33 rabeeh yes
19:33 davorin ...and develop hardware (o;
19:33 rabeeh HB 3.0 was designed to keep most of the software infrastructure invested in CBi; but there are changes since HB brings 2 times more features
19:34 esing Good to know, thanks
19:35 rabeeh esing: the benchmark will be having same micro SD card booting on ALL versions of HB and all versions of CBi
19:52 mal- i think it will be released end april
22:20 deniska Hello, anyone succeed in running accelerated X11 on arch on cubox i4 pro?
22:22 coin3d deniska: not really, i failed mostly on glx error
22:22 coin3d s/i/mine
22:24 deniska http://hastebin.com/heyohatowo.vbs that's what I have in Xorg.conf
22:24 deniska derp
22:24 deniska in Xorg.log.0
22:25 deniska I have file called /usr/lib/xorg/modules/dri/vivante_dri.so
22:25 deniska But nevertheless it can't find it, or it looks in different place
22:44 deniska I'd be glad if someone created ubuntu 12.04 or 14.04 image with everything working =(
