00:11 yang Is cubox-i4-pro avauilable for order from europe ?
04:13 _dab_ jnettlet: http://pastebin.com/UtEL2xHu
06:50 jnettlet _dab_, does it fix your problem?
06:50 jnettlet you are still getting some overruns, but it doesn't look nearly as bad
06:58 jnettlet yang, yes
07:47 yang jnettlet: from which seller ?
07:49 jnettlet yang, you should be able to order from SolidRun
07:49 yang Is SolidRun company based in Europe ? Which country ?
07:52 jnettlet yang, Israel but they ship most places
07:52 yang Maybe you missunderstood my questions, I am looking for European distribution
07:52 yang I cannot order from Israel
07:53 yang It would apply additional taxation
07:54 jnettlet well you would have to pay for the VAT, but buying from a European distributor you still pay that VAT it is just figured into the price
07:54 yang VAT+customs I think
07:55 jnettlet I believe the user davorin has a European store but I don't know if he ships orders. He isn't online right now.
07:55 yang ok
07:57 yang the cubox-i4 pro supports how large micro sd cards ?
08:02 jnettlet 64GB
08:19 _dab_ 145 Mbits/sec needs to change to >300. Customer requirement. And yes it is a little better
08:32 wbx yang: I paid no customs, because it is a microprocessor.
08:33 wbx yang: from israel to germany.
08:33 jnettlet _dab_, do you have cpufreq and or cpuidle enabled?
08:43 _dab_ cpu_freq=y. cpu=idle=n
08:43 jnettlet _dab_, which governor are you using?
08:44 jnettlet regardless. switch to the performance governor and test iperf3 again.
08:44 jnettlet or iperf
08:45 _dab_ ok
08:46 jnettlet it won't "fix" the problem but I would like to see how much of a difference it makes
08:53 _dab_ reporting the wrong config
08:54 _dab_ CONFIG_ARM_IMX6Q_CPUFREQ=n
09:02 yang wbx: I am not sure if that applies here
09:46 wbx yang: shouldn't it apply eu wide?
09:55 mal- morning
10:07 rabeeh hi mal-
10:15 ralix morning mal- , rabeeh
10:15 rabeeh hi ralix
10:20 ralix rabeeh, The new Cubox-i (pro) is very nice! I have seen at smallint (xbmc github). I need to borrow because sometimes ;-)
10:23 wbx rabeeh: does the cubox-i2ultra have RTC with a battery? only rtc0 with snvs is recognized. I have CONFIG_RTC_DRV_PCF8563 activated.
10:23 wbx or is it only on the i4pro?
10:24 rabeeh should be pcf8523
10:24 rabeeh i2u has that too
10:25 rabeeh ralix: i2u and i4pro are really really good for xbmc
10:27 wbx rabeeh: oh, okay. pcf8563 is default in imx_v6_v7_defconfig in 3.15.rc1+rmk, so I took this. but you are telling in the forum it is pcf8523. so I will try this on the next boot ;)
10:27 ralix it's a i4pro :)
10:29 ralix I was there once archlinux (xbmc) test a little, I could not persuade him;)
10:39 wbx rabeeh: thanks. that worked.
10:40 rabeeh wbx: notice that the snvs rtc is not backed up; so it should be removed by your kernel
10:40 rabeeh i.e. /dev/rtc0 should point to pcf8523 only
10:44 wbx rabeeh: seems to be default when both is on. so is snvs of no use?
10:50 wbx okay. next driver. does ath6kl driver needs firmware? i have modules loaded but iw does not find any phy0
10:57 rabeeh snvs can't be used
11:27 wbx hmm. okay ath6 is wrong, need broadcom driver. again the defconfig isn't optimal for cubox-i
17:14 _dab_ jnettlet: ondemand 146 Mbits/sec, performance 207 Mbits/sec
20:50 Coolg33k Hi, just need an information. Is the cubox-i able to play h264 10P (High Profile) 1920*1080 without glitch and without synchro issue ?
20:50 Coolg33k Actually, the first cubox can play them but with glitch :(
20:51 Coolg33k -10P +10b
20:51 Coolg33k anime are on this format now :(
20:51 Coolg33k and don't want to reencode...
20:57 rabeeh Coolg33k: you mean 10bit?
20:57 rabeeh the fsl video engine firmware doesn't support that; AFAIK
21:01 Coolg33k rabeeh: yeah
21:01 rabeeh i recall even first cubox with vmeta had issues with 10bit
21:02 Coolg33k but, if it can't be done the HW way, maybe it's enough powerfull to do it by software
21:02 rabeeh for 1080p?
21:02 rabeeh which bitrate are you looking at?
21:02 Coolg33k let me check
21:04 Coolg33k http://bakabt.me/173844-queens-blade-rurou-no-senshi-queens-blade-the-exiled-virgin-bd-1080p-flac-raizel.html <== something like that
21:04 Coolg33k I would like to play it flawlessly
21:05 rabeeh ~7Mbps
21:05 rabeeh i'm not sure
21:06 Coolg33k I have a gigabit network, but it's the cubox-i capabilities that I'm worried about
21:06 rabeeh 7Mbps is peanuts
21:06 rabeeh for a network stack
21:06 rabeeh but 1080p alone doesn't say a lot about how difficult to decode; you also need to know profile, bit rate etc...
21:07 rabeeh i doubt 7Mbps can be done by software codecs on ARM
21:07 rabeeh unless it's super optimized codec (i.e. super optimized ffmpeg) but i doubt this is the case right now with xbmc
21:07 Coolg33k on the first cubox, I can play thos but with glitch.. like it was a 8bits decoder for a 10bits file
21:08 Coolg33k tearing, pixelize...
21:09 Coolg33k btw, thanks for the answer rabeeh !
21:09 Coolg33k do you know if the hummingboard will do it ? I doubt that...
21:09 rabeeh it's same hardware
21:09 Coolg33k ok, so no chance here too
21:10 Coolg33k thanks for all the info !
21:12 rabeeh np
