| 06:22 | vivek_ | Any one tried hardware accelerated video transcoding on Debian Jessie |
| 07:31 | dtroy | Does anyone know if it would be possible to turn the cubox into a wireless AP and what it will involve ? Preferably in android and similar to Android's "Wifi hotspot" but using Ethernet instead of mobile. |
| 07:35 | ralix | morning |
| 07:38 | _dab_ | dtroy: There a lots of examples on the web for dreamplug, guruplug and sheevaplug with debian. Google is your friend |
| 07:39 | cbxbiker61 | dtroy, you're really much better off with a cheap wifi router that supports openwrt |
| 07:39 | cbxbiker61 | better radios |
| 07:41 | jnettlet | dtroy, original cubox or cubox-i? |
| 07:42 | jnettlet | the cubox-i should be able to but can't yet. I have gotten hotapd up to the point of broadcasting the essid but it won't take connections yet. It is pretty low on my list of things to look into |
| 07:43 | dtroy | @_dab_ Thanks ! I couldn't find one for Android |
| 07:43 | dtroy | cubox-i. Sorry |
| 07:43 | dtroy | I haven't got it yet. But that's one of the things I am looking to do |
| 07:46 | dtroy | @cbxbiker61, I know. it's only a temporary solution. Because the cubox-i is so small. You can carry it around with you. |
| 07:50 | cbxbiker61 | the more i work with this cubox-i4 the more i love it, i've got a 5disk jbod box coming tommorrow and a couple of old 3TB drives to do some testing with |
| 07:51 | cbxbiker61 | the jbod has a 6GBit backplane so it will work well on my big server, if i decide to use it there |
| 07:58 | jnettle | 07:58 * jnettlet +1 |
| 07:59 | cbxbiker61 | anyone have a quick link to the source package that would contain imx-mm/vpu/vpu_wrapper.h ? |
| 07:59 | cbxbiker61 | i'm just at the point where i need to package up the proprietary stuff |
| 08:03 | jnettlet | cbxbiker61, the yocto packages are probably the easiest place to find those. |
| 08:03 | jnettlet | we really need to get this better documented. |
| 08:04 | cbxbiker61 | ok, i'll figure it out, i looked at yocto, but i wasn't quite sure where the source packages were coming from |
| 08:06 | mk01 | cbxbiker61: source package is called libfslvpuwrap-3.5.7-1.0.0 |
| 08:08 | cbxbiker61 | thx |
| 08:10 | jnettlet | there isn't a 3.10.17 version out yet? |
| 08:10 | jnettlet | slackers |
| 08:10 | mk01 | binary package here if it helps http://xbian.brantje.com/pool/devel/main/x/xbian-package-libfslvpuwrap-6q/xbian-package-libfslvpuwrap-6q_1.0.0-2_armhf.deb |
| 08:11 | mk01 | jnettlet: for sure is. i just copied from yocto inventory list I found fastest |
| 08:12 | mk01 | but current recipe file will fetch 3.10.9 |
| 08:13 | mk01 | cbxbiker01: (so just the name libfslvpuwrap is relevant) |
| 08:13 | cbxbiker61 | that was my problem, actually, i can't interpret th recipes to a download file |
| 08:14 | cbxbiker61 | link to a EULA instead |
| 08:14 | mk01 | that's the way how fsl manages TERMS confirmation |
| 08:15 | mk01 | EULA is followed by binary file |
| 08:15 | mk01 | which is unpacked from it after conditions are confirmed |
| 08:15 | cbxbiker61 | oh, so the number following is a reference to a file |
| 08:17 | cbxbiker61 | or rater PN and PV get substituted from somewhere |
| 08:17 | cbxbiker61 | rather |
| 08:18 | jnettlet | I should look again, but what I find amusing about the EULA if I remember correctly is that nowhere does it require redistribution with the EULA intact |
| 08:19 | mk01 | jnettlet: that's true but the .bb files pointers to .bin are actually bzip2 files storred with "$offset" after EULA text document |
| 08:20 | jnettlet | mk01, yes but there is nothing stopping a single person from accepting the EULA and then redistributing a repackaged version of the files/binaries. |
| 08:21 | jnettlet | it is not a nice thing to do but I don't see anything that prohibits it in the EULA |
| 08:23 | cbxbiker61 | EULA's are past their prime, no one has time to analyse code with the rapid state of change |
| 08:24 | mk01 | jnettlet: I'm juts explaining to biker how to unpack it. |
| 08:24 | jnettlet | ah okay. |
| 08:24 | mk01 | jnettlet: as he struggles to dump & download & use the files listed in .bb files |
| 08:57 | cbxbiker61 | ok, thanks for the help, i finally have a handle on what they're doing with the bb/bin files |
| 09:01 | cbxbiker61 | the makefile distributed with imx-vpu looks nice and tidy, that's a good sign |
| 09:06 | mk01 | cbxbiker61: what I remember it was different from pkg to pkg but in general if FSL wanted to be part of auto-build system then the basis is simple .am & autoconf will handle. |
| 09:08 | mk01 | but there were some (like imx-lib) with Makefiles (manually) fit onto specific environment. and it was quite a fight to get it compile when 3.10.x came. |
| 11:55 | Gongora | Hello |
| 11:56 | Gongora | any knows how to setup wii remote on geexbox? |
| 11:56 | jnettlet | Gongora, best to ask in the geexbox forums |
| 11:56 | Gongora | ok, thank u jnettlet |
| 14:47 | vivek_ | Has anyone tried video transcoding on Cubox ? |
| 14:48 | jnettlet | vivek_, you can do it with gstreamer |
| 14:57 | vivek_ | which version would be good for hardware acceleration : gstreamer 0.10 or gstreamer 1.0 ? |
| 15:01 | jnettlet | either will work. gstreamer-1.0 is getting more development effort and is a much cleaned up codebase |
| 15:15 | vivek_ | is there any reliable tutorial to install gstreamer 1.0 with hardware acceleration |
| 15:15 | vivek_ | ? |
| 15:17 | jnettlet | vivek_, which platform? |
| 15:17 | jnettlet | distro |
| 15:17 | vivek_ | Debian Jessie |
| 15:20 | jnettlet | I think someone has packaged everything up. I would go check out the forums |
| 18:43 | msalerno | I'm about to go a little nuts. Just flashed an old MicroSD card to try a different distro. Decided to go back to old SD card, now I can't boot. All I get is: Waiting for root device /dev/mmcblk0p2... |
| 18:43 | msalerno | fsck on both partitions returns no errors |
| 18:44 | msalerno | Anyone have any suggestions? |
| 19:08 | midacts | Has anyone here been unable to use the micro usb port on their cubox-i4-pro? i have tried two different cables, but in linux and windows and it is unable to boot my cubox, and unable to putty into it even when i plug in a power cable |
| 19:15 | msalerno | midacts: I use the port daily |
| 19:15 | msalerno | it's hooked up right now |
| 19:16 | midacts | msalerno: did you have to use any specific micro usb to usb cable? |
| 19:16 | msalerno | No, I use the same cable I use to charge my phone |
| 19:17 | msalerno | I connect with "screen /dev/ttyUSB0 115200 |
| 19:17 | msalerno | " |
| 19:18 | midacts | maybe my port is broken? - i've only just gotten it. still haven tgotten any OS's to work on it |
| 19:19 | msalerno | when you plug it into your linux machine, does anything appear in dmesg? |
| 19:20 | msalerno | [ 6482.751734] ftdi_sio 2-1:1.0: FTDI USB Serial Device converter detected |
| 19:20 | midacts | i dont think so (i doubt it) but i can try again later (im at work and its at home) |
| 19:34 | msalerno | tar -xf ArchLinuxARM-imx6-cubox-latest.tar.gz -C root |
| 19:34 | msalerno | wrong windw |
| 23:53 | msalerno | Anyone see this one before: "Waiting for root device /dev/mmcblk0p2" |
