| 01:38 | _dab_ | cbxbiker61: which sandisk cards are you using on the i4/i2? extreme or ultra? |
| 02:27 | cbxbiker61 | 32G - extreme plus is the highest performance sd, i've used, also eht 32G 30M card works well too |
| 02:50 | Forrest-- | hello - has anyone gotten any of the last 3 versions of geexbox to boot on a cubox-i4pro ? |
| 03:26 | _dab_ | Forrest--: I cant get the last two to boot on i4 or i2u. |
| 03:27 | _dab_ | thanks biker |
| 03:29 | Forrest-- | hey dab |
| 03:29 | _dab_ | hey |
| 03:29 | Forrest-- | actually, funny, i j ust found out it's booting, i just didn't know because the display stopped working |
| 03:29 | Forrest-- | but i can SSH in |
| 03:29 | Forrest-- | i mean it definitely was having problems, it was auto-rebooting |
| 03:29 | Forrest-- | but at this very second it seems to have been booted up |
| 03:31 | _dab_ | I am just sitting around trying to guess what I might try next. |
| 03:32 | _dab_ | out of ideas |
| 03:34 | _dab_ | Forrest--: I dont think the SD cards are the problem either. I have some the work on the i4 but not on the i2 and vice versa |
| 04:37 | _dab_ | geexbox apr16 nightly on transcend 8GB boots on i4pro, will not boot (no red light) on i2ultra |
| 06:00 | _dab_ | jnettlet: u there? |
| 09:08 | rabeeh | _dab_: i'm here |
| 09:08 | jnettlet | _dab_, I am as well |
| 09:10 | mk01 | jnettlet: yesterday evening I tested same kernel with previous u-boot (at commit 3fd848b597804f6a5b000136cd31ecf1fda00430) and all was well |
| 09:13 | rabeeh | _dab_: https://github.com/SolidRun/u-boot-imx6/commit/dfb384fd31a103078b1e35dc83e53267367d4cf2 |
| 09:14 | rabeeh | that one fixed the u-boot sd card issues |
| 09:18 | _dab_ | yes rabeeh that commit is in the uboot I am using via git pull. |
| 09:18 | jnettlet | mk01, okay sounds like you are seeing problems with the pfd fix. :-\ |
| 09:18 | mk01 | jnettlet: although wlan reports "brcmfmac: _brcmf_set_multicast_list: Setting BRCMF_C_SET_PROMISC failed, -23" on DHCP (but gets IP without issues) - even though I have the feeling Russel was telling here on IRC in a discussion that -23 is not a real error. i don't remember exactly. |
| 09:19 | _dab_ | jnettlet: do you have an i2 |
| 09:19 | rabeeh | jnettlet: the DDR QOS improvement that was on LK 3.0.35 is not in LK 3.10.30 |
| 09:19 | jnettlet | _dab_, dl not d |
| 09:19 | rabeeh | where do you think the proper way to have that? in u-boot or LK? |
| 09:20 | rabeeh | this is probably the issue that Forrest-- previously reported about |
| 09:20 | mk01 | jnettlet: but the wlan is not related to the other problem, just started to seeing it recently but don't remember when exactly (because again wlan is working fine anyhow) |
| 09:21 | mk01 | jnettlet: if you need some help with testing later regatrding PFD, let me know |
| 09:21 | jnettlet | rabeeh, so far in your geexbox testing we haven't needed it since they bumped up the ipu burst size |
| 09:21 | jnettlet | mk01, I need to spend some serious time on the wlan driver |
| 09:22 | mk01 | jnettlet: seriously, that wlan was just 'btw' |
| 09:22 | jnettlet | tomlohave, has also pointed out a patch floating around so you don't need to run patchram in userspace |
| 09:22 | jnettlet | that is for bluetooth of course |
| 09:23 | jnettlet | rabeeh, ultimately I think I would like to expose the QOS settings to userspace via sysfs. |
| 09:24 | rabeeh | jnettlet: there were reports for lower resolutions that it gets blanking effect (which is the IPU underruns) |
| 09:24 | rabeeh | i recall that from sraue too |
| 09:24 | rabeeh | but regardless; the i1 with 32bit would need that fix |
| 09:24 | jnettlet | at lower resolutions? |
| 09:25 | rabeeh | yes; the issue would happen only on lower resolutions since upscaling is a mem2mem via IC that puts more load on the ddr |
| 09:25 | mk01 | jnettlet: lower resolution video files |
| 09:25 | jnettlet | I have run my HB1 at 1080p 32-bit depth without the blanking effect showing up. |
| 09:25 | mk01 | I was having it too |
| 09:25 | jnettle | 09:25 * jnettlet will test |
| 09:25 | rabeeh | even 480p would blank |
| 09:26 | jnettlet | xbmc is doing direct-textures now. Seems as though the GPU should be doing the scaling |
| 09:26 | rabeeh | jnettlet: imho that should be part of the dtb |
| 09:26 | mk01 | need to go guys, see you around |
| 09:26 | mk01 | bye |
| 09:26 | rabeeh | mk01: ttyl |
| 09:28 | rabeeh | _dab_: just sent you email; do you see anything on the serial console on i2u with latest u-boot? |
| 09:30 | _dab_ | rabeeh: no |
| 09:31 | rabeeh | and how stable is the older u-boot? |
| 09:32 | rabeeh | the older u-boot with the Debian image is a pre SPL one |
| 09:32 | rabeeh | it was only for i4pro; so i doubt it will fully boot to Debian |
| 09:32 | rabeeh | (because of 2GByte memory vs. 1GByte) |
| 09:33 | _dab_ | No, it is SPL and it is stable apart from having to cold boot. warm boot a bit shaky |
| 09:35 | _dab_ | the debian image is my own debootstrap and the uboot I built from the solidrun git |
| 09:36 | _dab_ | I took the uSD out of the i4pro and it worked on the i2u |
| 09:36 | jnettlet | which it should |
| 09:37 | jnettlet | they are both very similar |
| 09:37 | jnettlet | minus memory |
| 09:40 | _dab_ | jnettlet: that was true for me, up until Mar24. Now, not so. |
| 09:43 | _dab_ | U-Boot 2013.10-rc4-g3fd848b (Mar 09 2014 - 10:33:11) worked ok |
| 09:43 | _dab_ | 09 not 24 |
| 16:32 | wbx | yeah, my cubox-i arrived! |
| 16:43 | rabeeh | wbx: congrats |
| 16:45 | wbx | hmm. trying to boot a self compiled kernel. is make uImage always required or does u-boot can boot a zImage? |
| 16:46 | davorin | zImage it can |
| 16:47 | wbx | the wiki does not contain any hints what to do with the zImage and dtb files. |
| 16:47 | davorin | you just copy them over to the win partition |
| 16:48 | rabeeh | wbx: bootz |
| 16:48 | wbx | ah, I have to use bootz instead of bootm. |
| 16:49 | davorin | can i haz some bootz? |
| 16:53 | wbx | rabeeh: do you have an example for uEnv.txt? |
| 16:59 | rabeeh | CuBox-i U-Boot > printenv bootargs |
| 16:59 | rabeeh | bootargs=console=ttymxc0,115200 root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 rootfstype=ext4 rootwait rw consoleblank=0 video=mxcfb0:dev=hdmi,1920x1080M@60,if=RGB24,bpp=16 dmfc=3 |
| 16:59 | rabeeh | CuBox-i U-Boot > printenv bootcmd |
| 16:59 | rabeeh | bootcmd=tftp 0x10800000 zImage; tftp 0x18000000 imx6q-cubox-i.dtb; bootz 0x10800000 - 0x18000000 |
| 16:59 | rabeeh | those are for instance to boot GB |
| 17:23 | wbx | rabeeh: thx. kernel now is trying to start, but I get: |
| 17:23 | wbx | did not find a cmdline flattened device tree |
| 17:24 | wbx | ah, i think I found it. |
| 17:26 | wbx | shouldn't use echo "" with $var |
