im checking the forums, looks like a 3.10 kernel issue
03:53
GAZ082
or not, the guy could not get wifi to work on 3.10, in my case it does work
03:53

03:53
cbxbiker61
that can install a current 3.10 that works
03:54
GAZ082
my ver is 3.10.30-20-ARCH
03:55
cbxbiker61
yeah, well i'm tracking current which is now 3.10.43
03:56
cbxbiker61
make sure you mount the boot part at /boot before you use the script
03:56
GAZ082
*sigh* i'll get the rest of the stuff up and running and then return to the wifi thingie.
03:56
cbxbiker61
http://www.xilka.com/kernel/SET-IMX-KERNEL.sh sets the current kernel
03:59
GAZ082
cbxbiker61: hey, i just run a htop and my ram is 1751, not 2048
04:00
cbxbiker61
right, a chunk is set aside for video
04:02
GAZ082
aha!
04:02
GAZ082
can i change how much is available for the vid?
04:03
cbxbiker61
i can't remember if you can set it on the kernel command line, in any case a kernel without video drivers can be built
04:14
GAZ082
if i want to use the system from my USB external drive, i have to just config the FSTAB to boot in the memory but to load /dev/sdaX to / ?
04:21
cbxbiker61
/boot/uEnv.txt can be used to set the root device, and then also mod the /etc/fstab
04:40
GAZ082
what FSTAB should be modded, the one in the sdcard or in the external drive?
04:40
GAZ082
common sense dictates the one in the sdcard, as is the booting device
05:23
cbxbiker61
no uboot looks into uEnv.txt and load the kernel...the kernel starts up the init process on the root device, init looks at the fstab on the root device which is usb in that case
05:29
GAZ082
cbxbiker61: im having trouble in getting my external HD as root
05:29
GAZ082
i already modified the uEnv.txt with:
05:29
GAZ082
rootfs=/dev/sda2
05:30
GAZ082
replaced the mmcroot
05:33
cbxbiker61
check the forums, you may need to use a different u-boot

Is cubox-i wifi normally super slow?
05:45
Dacto
<500Mb/s, or is something wrong with my set up?
05:45
Dacto
<500Kb/s **
05:59
GAZ082
hope it's not, i plano to hook it to my router by wifi
06:02
Dacto
iw reports that it has a 54Mbit/s connection but Local network file transfers over cubox-i wifi -> router -> ethernet -> computer never reaches above 400Kb/s..
06:03
Dacto
If I connect cubox-i to ethernet then it is boosted to about 12Mb/s
06:03
GAZ082
12 mb/s on wired?
06:03
Dacto
Yea
06:04
GAZ082
that's pathetic, perhaps is something wrong with your router
06:04
Dacto
Maybe...
06:04
GAZ082
try bypassing the router
06:04
Dacto
Hmm I thought 12Mb/s was good lol
06:04
GAZ082
on wired
06:04
Dacto
Direct wired connection to computer?
06:04
Dacto
lemme try
06:05
GAZ082
yes, what's your cubox ver?
06:11
Dacto
I dont have a crossover cable. Let me try with a basic switch
06:13
GAZ082
dacto
06:13
GAZ082
what's your cubox version
06:14
GAZ082
only cubox-i4 has gigabit ethernet, the others have 10/100 Mbit
06:14
GAZ082
are you sure its 12Mb/s or 12MB/s?
06:15
Dacto
I have i4. Double checking.
06:17
GAZ082
i'll try myself
06:23
Dacto
12MB/s.
06:24
Dacto
So, i think something is wrong with wifi.
06:25
GAZ082
yep
06:25
GAZ082
how did you test it?
06:25
GAZ082
the lan
06:26
Dacto
transfer a large file
06:26
Dacto
via network share
06:27
Dacto
what speeds do you get over wifi?
06:28
GAZ082
cant test wifi as my cubox does not detect my network
06:28
GAZ082
right now im trying to boot the root in my external drive
06:30
Dacto
Hmm, ok. I really hope that wifi is faster than what I'm getting..
06:30
GAZ082
im testing lan by my router
06:30
GAZ082
10.8 MB/s
06:31
GAZ082
now 11
06:31
Dacto
Ok, at least I know my ethernet is doing fine.
06:31
GAZ082
this is something you could post in the forums
06:32
GAZ082
to see what more savvy people have to say
06:32
Dacto
I posted about it but it was mostly included in my post about samba (because I thought it was due to some samba settings).
06:32
Dacto
But apparently that is not the case.
06:33
GAZ082
mmm, what's a drive tranfer rate?
06:33
Dacto
not sure how to test.
06:34
Dacto
It is rated for 6Gb/s though where cubox is 3Gb/s max.
06:35
Dacto
esata
06:37
GAZ082
is it a ssd?
06:37
Dacto
No, typical rotational.
06:39
Dacto
It's more for storage than super speed.
06:40
GAZ082
did you manage to boot your root from the drive?
06:40
GAZ082
or you use 100% on the sdcard
06:41
Dacto
i have it on the sdcard currently. Havent tried it with the cubox
06:41
Dacto
I have some other things that I boot from a seperately mount rootfs
06:41
GAZ082
how did you do it?
06:41
GAZ082
i cant :(
06:42
GAZ082
check my thread: http://imx.solid-run.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=1229&p=9131#p9131
06:44
Dacto
hmm, that's how I do it..
06:45
Dacto
But, haven't tried for cubox.
06:46
Dacto
can you modify uboot before it boots the kernel?
06:47
Dacto
the args in uboot instead of the uEnv
06:47
Dacto
You could also try via UUID, ie: root=UUID=[uuid of drive]
06:48
GAZ082
mm
06:48
GAZ082
how do i change uboots args?
06:49
Dacto
on most uboot devices you can press any key before it boots kernel
06:49
Dacto
and it will drop you into the uboot shell
06:49
Dacto
it is pretty limited but you can edit the boot scripts and stuff in there
06:50
GAZ082
oh, no, im working headless now
06:50
iz
GAZ082: you can get a serial port over usb
06:52
GAZ082
iz: sorry?
06:53
iz
you can get a console via serial port over usb.. and in that console window in the serial terminal, you can hit enter and put custom uboot args
06:55
iz
just google for cubox serial console
06:57
GAZ082
wizardy!
07:01
GAZ082
THIS IS AMAZING!
07:05
GAZ082
how do i end entering u-boot commads?
07:12
Dacto
umm you can send the boot command
07:12
Dacto
i'm not sure what they call it for cubox but some use bootm and bootz
07:26
GAZ082
bye guys, thanks a lot
07:26
GAZ082
time to zzz
