09:31 vivek_ Anyone built Debian Jessie with 3.10.17_beta kernel ?
09:31 vivek_ For cubox i4 pro ?
09:31 mk01 vivek_: why .17 ?
09:32 vivek_ I'm trying to install gstreamer-imx into my cubox...
09:32 vivek_ Couldn't get it running on 3.0.35
09:33 mk01 ok
09:33 mk01 we have 3.10.30
09:33 vivek_ 3.0.35 was the officially available version of debian jessie
09:33 vivek_ Wow that's nice !!!
09:33 vivek_ Any available prebuilt images ?
09:33 vivek_ Or any way to build it on my own ?
09:33 mk01 you can grab XBian, it has by default 3.10.30
09:34 mk01 and is unbroken Jessie image
09:35 mk01 don't know if there is PLAIN jessie. but again, it is only Jessie + XBian debs installed. so if you mind them you can apt-get remove them and you have CLEAN Debian Jessie
09:37 vivek_ Yes, I would try that !!!
09:37 mk01 then you find link at imx forums or xbian.org
09:38 mk01 latest generated Jessie .img for Cubox is back from March, but again, just run apt-get update & upgrade after
09:38 vivek_ Or are there any easier way to port 3.10.30 kernel into an existing Jessie Cubox ?
09:38 vivek_ Yes, I did find the download link from the forum
09:39 mk01 vivek_: this is the easiest way if you want prebuild img. otherwise you can compile kernel yourself. it's not that scary. ;)
09:39 mk01 but you have to update u-boot as well etc.
09:40 vivek_ Ok :-)
09:40 mk01 so let's say if you just want to check it because gstreamer-imx, get the img first
09:40 mk01 it's fastest
09:40 mk01 just set XBMC not to start automatically. that's all.
09:41 vivek_ Yes, I already started downloading the img for Xbian..!
09:41 vivek_ Anyway, would these steps be enough for rebuilding a kernel ... http://imx.solid-run.com/wiki/index.php?title=Building_the_kernel_and_u-boot_for_the_CuBox-i_and_the_HummingBoard ....?
09:42 mk01 do you need V2L layers for gstreamer ?
09:42 mk01 yes, the link is correct
09:43 mk01 you finish at line describing 3.0.35. so u-boot is common for 3.10.30 or 3.0.35
09:44 mk01 just if you grab img with 3.0.35 and want 3.10.30 you have to update uboot first
09:44 mk01 the older version will not load new 3.10.30 kernels
09:44 mk01 by default
09:44 vivek_ Ok, I get it !!
09:45 vivek_ No I don't need the v2l layers in gstreamer...
09:45 mk01 ok, perfect
09:45 mk01 because some others distros still compile it by default into kernel
09:45 mk01 XBian not - as mostly it's not needed anymore
09:46 mk01 so you should be fine
09:47 vivek_ Does wifi and eSata work on your cubox ?
09:47 mk01 yes
09:47 mk01 including BT
09:47 vivek_ What OS do you use ?
09:47 mk01 I'm developing XBian so anwer would be Jessie
09:48 mk01 ;)
09:48 vivek_ :-)
