01:28 alpha_one_x86 Hello, cubox-i have disable at idle if don't use the float/neon part?
04:31 cbxbiker61 i'm finally in a good place WRT cubox-i, i have my distro running on the hardware and i'm in the process of bringing all of the packages up to speed
06:21 cbxbiker61 the hummingboard is getting coverage at http://linuxgizmos.com/
06:28 jnettlet cbxbiker61, yeah wondering where that came from. Last I knew they weren't really pushing the quad-core variant. It of course works, but then there needs to be some sort of heat sink added.
06:29 cbxbiker61 if you read further in the article they mention single/dual, i think they may have just mislabeled the article
06:30 jnettlet I saw something like that on another MX6 board yesterday. http://www.cnx-software.com/2014/04/22/habey-hio-project-arm-board-and-hio-wallpad-poe-automation-panel-crowdfunding/
06:31 jnettlet it mentions a quad-core up at the top of the article. I am looking at that design and thinking...not gonna work
08:33 davorin android in the wall? *iik
08:35 jnettlet it is mx6 so you can run linux on it
08:35 davorin yeah i know...
08:35 davorin in my opinion generates too much heat in a small wall outlet
08:36 jnettlet the dual-lite shouldn't be too bad
08:37 davorin but still...a little overkill (o;
08:37 jnettlet depends what you want to do with it.
08:38 jnettlet but for anything with a touchscreen I really think you want a dual-core processor, even clocked down just to make it as interactive as possible
08:38 davorin my design is different, as it would replace either a switch or measure current consumption...
08:39 davorin and depending on the country...it might be difficult to add extra wires to power it...
08:39 davorin for example in germany
08:39 jnettlet that is why it supports POE
08:39 davorin yes...quite common in homes (o;
08:40 jnettlet but it is a single cable that can easily be run in external molding.
08:40 jnettle 08:40 * jnettlet hates the horrible Danish walls. Give me sheetrock any day. So much easier to add updated wiring.
08:41 davorin in .ch it would be easier....as most eletric installation use plastic tubes inside the wall...
08:41 davorin where the cables are pulled through....
08:41 davorin so you could easily add new cables...
08:41 jnettlet conduits, sure more modern.
08:42 davorin i haven't just figured out a way how to power a device in series of a lamp for example...and be used as a switch
08:43 davorin and i would add some more sensors in each socket...
08:43 davorin temp and humidity at least...
08:44 davorin motion as well...
08:44 jnettlet could be done with a raspberry pi expansion board on the hummingboard
08:45 davorin temp/humidity is just a simple sensor...can be connected directly via gpio, like the dht11 or the am2302
08:45 davorin but haven't found small enough pir sensors...
08:49 davorin those banana pi guys are bugging me.....
08:49 davorin writing every day if i want to sell it (o;
15:04 wbx what is the status of usb in 3.14.1?
17:07 _dab_ rabeeh: looking at rmks long list of fec patches. Is it time to restest my FEC problem on 3.15?
17:15 jnettlet _dab_, yes please
17:56 msalerno Has anyone got linux and bluetooth working on linux? I've read through the forums, but none of the proposed solutions work
17:57 jnettlet msalerno, it should be working under geexbox.
17:58 msalerno I'll make a new image and see how it works. I'm trying to get it working on Arch
18:02 rabeeh msalerno: please update the wiki if you have more info
18:47 wbx hmm. is the framebuffer supported in 3.14.1?
18:48 mk01 msalerno: BT works.
18:49 mk01 msalerno: on Arch is kind of problem though.
18:50 msalerno @mk01 been working on it for the last few days on and off. Been making me crazy.
18:50 jnettlet wbx, via the staging KMS/DRI driver yes.
18:51 wbx jnettlet: wiki says video=mxcfb0:dev=hdmi, but isn't the name of the driver mxsfb?
18:53 jnettlet wbx, that is for the 3.10.30 kernel, not the upstream 3.14.xxx and >
18:53 wbx jnettlet: ah. so all I want is in staging/imx-drm/
18:54 mk01 msalerno: I sent everything (fw, kernel config related to BT, ...) to Pepedog. the setup works fine on Debian (XBian). there is no reason not to work with Arch
18:54 jnettlet wbx, you got it
18:55 jnettlet wbx, you won't have accelerated graphics with the upstream kernel.
18:55 jnettlet just an fyi
18:56 wbx jnettlet: oh. so if I would like to try xbmc I am fixed to 3.10.x usage? btw, when do you update to 3.10.37?
18:57 jnettlet wbx, yes. I will be starting the rebase onto 3.10.37 this weekend. When it is out depends on how much has changed and how much time I end up having. I am hoping to finish it this weekend.
18:57 wbx jnettlet: cool.
18:57 msalerno mk01: He has posted many of those files in the forums, but it doesn't seem to work. I can only guess that it's a kernel config issue. I've rebuilt my kernel based on recommendations i found in the forums. Still doesn't work
18:58 jnettlet wbx, after that I will work on breaking out galcore and a few other drivers to a separate repo that can be compiled against upstream
18:58 msalerno mk01: is 3.10 used on XBian?
18:58 rabeeh msalerno: you first need to figure out if you using 4329 or 4330
18:59 mk01 rabeeh: in the fw pack there is 29 and 30 as well.
18:59 wbx jnettlet: what is galcore?
19:00 rabeeh mk01: but for the bt, the patchram command is different
19:00 msalerno rabeeh: how do I determine that? this is my first arm system. I'm used to lspci
19:00 rabeeh wbx: galcore is the kernel GPU driver
19:00 rabeeh msalerno: it's under /sys/class/mmc/mmc0 ...
19:01 rabeeh wifi/bt is connected via sdio interface (not pci)
19:01 wbx and the GPU driver runs independent to the imx-drm fb driver? or does it require the ixm-drm?
19:01 msalerno Right, no PCI which is why I wasn't sure where to look
19:01 rabeeh i don't have a system booted around to ssh to it; but dig inside that directory and you should see a file called device
19:01 rabeeh just 'cat' it and it will be 4329 / 4330
19:01 rabeeh mal-: welcome
19:02 mk01 msalerno: yes. try recompile with XBian's .config. It's in the Arch discussion (cut of it), but here is the link https://github.com/xbianonpi/xbian-patches/blob/master/kernel.i.MX6/config
19:02 mk01 rabeeh: ah ok
19:03 mk01 msalerno: /sys/class/mmc_host/mmc0/mmc0:0001/mmc0:0001:2/device
19:04 mk01 rabeeh: what's the command for 4330 ?
19:04 msalerno 0x4330
19:04 rabeeh mk01: what happened to your new CBi / HB?
19:04 rabeeh malte told me they were delivered to you?
19:05 mk01 rabeeh: no, they were returned from Customs.
19:05 mk01 rabeeh: problem was that once it get's into the system - it can't be changed
19:06 mal- rabeeh: hello
19:06 mal- :)
19:06 msalerno [root@mycubox-i mmc_host]# find /sys/class/mmc_host/*/*/* -maxdepth 1 -name device -exec cat {} \;
19:06 msalerno 0x4330
19:06 rabeeh mk01: so they are return to SolidRun or what?
19:07 mk01 rabeeh: I suppose, yes.
19:07 msalerno Following mk01's question: rabeeh, what's the command for the 4330?
19:07 rabeeh hmm... i'll check with Riki then
19:07 rabeeh this is what i use for android on 4330
19:08 rabeeh brcm_patchram_plus -d --patchram /tmp/bcm4330.hcd --baudrate 3000000 --enable_hci --use_baudrate_for_download /dev/ttymxc3 --no2bytes --enable_lpm --tosleep=50000
19:08 rabeeh oh; sorry
19:08 rabeeh that line was actually developed under buildroot
19:08 rabeeh as i recall the additions are '--enable_lpm'
19:08 rabeeh notice that you need the rfkill part also in the kernel
19:11 msalerno rabeeh: is CONFIG_MACH_IMX_BLUETOOTH_RFKILL part of that requirement ?
19:12 rabeeh which kernel are you running?
19:12 msalerno 3.10.30-15-ARCH
19:13 msalerno which does not have that option
19:13 rabeeh true
19:13 rabeeh LK 3.0.35 had that and it's required
19:13 rabeeh i don't see that option on LK 3.10.30
19:14 msalerno hcitool dev is now returning hci0
19:15 rabeeh congrats
19:15 rabeeh now inq it :)
19:16 rabeeh send inquery and see what happens
19:19 msalerno I sent: hciconfig hci0 up
19:20 msalerno however, "hcitool scan" eventually returns "Inquiry failed: Connection timed out"
19:21 msalerno same with hcitool inq
19:23 rabeeh so it's not working then
19:25 mk01 msalerno: what "Bus:" is the device on in "hciconfig" output ?
19:25 mk01 UART or SDIO ?
19:27 msalerno Bus: UART
19:28 mk01 ok
19:28 mk01 and is listed as DOWN ?
19:28 msalerno UP RUNNING
19:29 mk01 then try "hcitool scan"
19:29 mk01 root@cubox:/etc/init# hcitool scan
19:29 mk01 Scanning ...
19:29 mk01 40:5F:BE:72:5D:5D namarse
19:29 mk01 E4:E0:C5:DE:88:C0 DTVBluetooth
19:29 msalerno # hcitool scan
19:29 msalerno Scanning ...
19:29 msalerno Inquiry failed: Connection timed out
19:29 mk01 and "dmesg | tail" ?
19:30 msalerno [ 129.775598] Bluetooth: hci0 command 0x0401 tx timeout
19:30 mk01 hm
19:32 msalerno I think i'm loading the wrong firmware
19:32 msalerno rechecking
19:36 wbx hmmm. don't get the framebuffer via hdmi connected to a LG display working. anything wrong in my dmesg? http://www.openadk.org/cubox/dmesg.txt
19:36 msalerno Grabbed firmware from Geexbox
19:36 msalerno 8e32f9168aaa540467589c153129c57a /lib/firmware/brcm/bcm4330.hcd
19:36 msalerno same result
19:48 mal- mk01
20:43 phil_m Hi rabeeh. Phil from Manjaro here. My developer box is now at customs in Rosenheim. I'll try to call the office so they might ship it to me or to another customs office which is nearer to my office. Maybe an email from your end might help me. Malte already sent me a letter regarding this.
20:43 mal- hi
20:44 phil_m hi mal-
20:44 mal- pm
20:48 jnettlet phil_m, I was just looking at manjaro yesterday. I have been telling myself I need to try Arch but don't want all the hassle. Let me know if there is anything I can do to help you out.
20:49 phil_m sure
21:03 jenkins101 hi!
21:03 jenkins101 I am trying to run tvheadend on the cuboxi but i get a error
21:03 jenkins101 kernel: Alignment trap: not handling instruction edce0b00 at [<000183f8>]
21:04 jenkins101 anyone else seen this?
21:41 zuse i have a cubox-i with geexbox and having the same problem as this guy: http://www.geexbox.org/forum/topic/cubox-i-terminal-access-problem/ is it really not possible to use the Consoles without disabling xbmc?
21:45 mal- did u try it via ssh?
21:46 zuse ssh is working nice, yes.
21:46 zuse but my tv box has no ssh client :-P
21:47 mal- u want to use the console @geexbox?
21:47 mal- right?
21:48 zuse i want to boot geexbox and config things from my TV (because cuboxi is loosing wifi often)
21:48 zuse config things = on bash level
21:52 mal- dunno sorry
22:57 mal- http://cubox-i.cf/files/OpenELEC-Cuboxi.arm-devel-20140424-img.zip image uploaded...thanks sraue
22:57 sraue mal-, thanks :-)
