06:52 spoown Hello
07:21 jnettlet spoown, welcome
08:15 RalphCirella what a bunch of fucking faggots
14:01 kgp android 4.4.4 released ;)
14:08 kgp So time to update android on cubox to 4.4.4 ! ;)
14:14 gvy mornin'
16:41 jnettlet Has anyone done benchmarking on the eSata port?
16:50 Deslo 16:50 * Deslok waves hello
16:53 Deslok I've been reading through the forums a few days sofar, I'm curious if anyone here is using a cubox as a thin client in an office enviroment?
16:54 kgp Not really ;)
16:54 kgp The software is almost here... but not yet.
16:55 kgp I want to replace a mac mini for my child.
16:55 kgp And a home media center, server, etc...
16:56 jnettlet Deslok, there someone testing that but I can't remember who.
16:56 Deslok I see, I was looking at ordering an i4Pro to evaluate it in conjunction with a Msft Terminal server
16:57 Deslok But with all the os choices I was hoping to cut down testing a tad
16:58 kgp The android implementation is ok, the media center implementation is almost here, the desktop implementation is not yet here. but will be!
16:59 Deslok sounds like android with the msft client then should be the first one to try
17:09 UmbraMalison hey, anyone know where i can find the kernel headers for linux-linaro-stable-mx6?
17:09 UmbraMalison or perhaps, standard 3.10 is okay?
17:34 UmbraMalison why is there not pxp_device.h in cubox 3.10.17 kernel? it's referenced in imx-libs
17:36 UmbraMalison actually, pxp_device.c exists in drivers/dma/pxp/ . but there is no pxp_device.h in include or anywhere
17:37 UmbraMalison sraue: did you face this problem ^ in your OE builds?
17:37 UmbraMalison i presume you must have compiled imx-libs... ?
19:47 UmbraMalison cubox-i, vfpv3 or vfpv3-d16?
19:52 UmbraMalison or even vfpv3-d32 according to https://community.freescale.com/thread/303672
19:53 jnettlet UmbraMalison, vfpv3-16
19:53 jnettlet with NEON
19:53 UmbraMalison thanks jnettlet.
19:54 UmbraMalison also, did you have problem with missing pxp_device.h?
19:54 UmbraMalison when compiling imx-libs
19:54 UmbraMalison i'm just trying a fresh build, so perhaps the error will not be there this time. but probably will be
20:09 Anssi pretty sure imx6 is "vfpv3-d32" (aka "vfpv3"), not vfpv3-d16
20:26 UmbraMalison Anssi: apparently not all cortex A 8,9 are D32. according to this help snippet i'm reading. D16 will work for all. but if you and the link i posted above are correct, the imx6 should indeed be vfpv3...as you say, that is vfpv3D32. thanks for that
20:26 kgp Fucking Python :(
20:29 kgp I always have issue when compiling things
20:29 kgp when I cross-compile
20:29 UmbraMalison i don't like pyton tabbing
20:29 UmbraMalison s/pyton/python/
20:40 GAZ082 cbxbiker61: hi man
20:40 cbxbiker61 hey
20:41 GAZ082 cbxbiker61: ;) im trying to upgrade the kernel with your script, and im getting imx-3.10.4-zImage imx6dl-cubox-i-3.10.4.dtb imx6dl-hummingboard-3.10.4.dtb imx6q-cubox-i-3.10.4.dtb files are missing even when they are at /boot
20:41 cbxbiker61 make sure you mount /dev/mmcblkp1 at /boot
20:41 GAZ082 cbxbiker61: mm, wait a sec, its looking for .4 not .40
20:42 GAZ082 yes, its already mounted, but just noticed the file is checking is wrong, missing a zero
20:42 GAZ082 ill see if modifing the script works
20:42 UmbraMalison cbxbiker61: have you compiled imx-libs with cubox?
20:43 cbxbiker61 which libs are in imx-libs?
20:43 cbxbiker61 the .so
20:43 GAZ082 cbxbiker61: was wrong on my side, missed the zero when passing the parameter
20:44 GAZ082 cbxbiker61: now i get a ln: failed to create hard link 'zImage' => 'imx-3.10.40-zImage': Operation not permitted with each of the 4 files... even with sudo
20:44 UmbraMalison imx-libs (freescale) contains, hdmi-cec, ipu, pxp, rng, shara2, screeenlayer, sim
20:44 cbxbiker61 yeah, it should do a copy instead of link....when the link fails
20:45 cbxbiker61 link doesn't work on fat
20:46 cbxbiker61 no, i haven't compiled imx-libs
20:46 UmbraMalison do you not need it?
20:47 cbxbiker61 i have the libs lingering from the original geexbox install, when i get a chance i'll recompile those libs
20:47 UmbraMalison that's a good point. i should check to see what geexbox did.
20:48 UmbraMalison from what i can see, the cubox-i kernel which is based on freescale linux2.6-imx.git (that's just what they called it) is missing pxp_device.h, unlike its parent
20:49 cbxbiker61 well i don't have a pxp_device.h on my system
20:50 UmbraMalison indeed. its a dependency for imx-libs. it looks like it was stripped out...but why would that happen
20:50 cbxbiker61 packages quite often don't include headers
20:50 cbxbiker61 packagers
20:51 UmbraMalison so perhaps i could just copy it over...
20:54 cbxbiker61 i finally have my generic netlink code working...it replaces a huge chunk of ugly file base message passing, it's nice and clean...and robust
20:55 UmbraMalison nice, no idea what that means. but sounds like you deserve a well done! :)
20:58 kgp Found my issue :)
20:58 kgp I have move to python 2.7 to build another stuff.
20:59 kgp Argh no :( python 3.4 is not working too. (another error)
21:05 GAZ082 cbxbiker61: is there any issue with wifi in .40?
21:05 cbxbiker61 it was working well for me
21:14 GAZ082 cbxbiker61: mm, this kernel update deletes iptables config?
21:15 cbxbiker61 no
21:15 cbxbiker61 it has full iptables support
21:16 GAZ082 cbxbiker61: yes, it does not delete the rules... but for some reason cant ssh since i installed it
21:18 cbxbiker61 the network driver is a modules, make sure you get that loaded
21:19 GAZ082 cbxbiker61: i do have a working wifi link, do i have to check this network driver as well?
21:20 cbxbiker61 yeah, all of the network drivers are modules
21:20 cbxbiker61 if you build the "default" module in...it makes external adapters messy
21:20 GAZ082 cbxbiker61: and... how do i do that? :O
21:21 cbxbiker61 do what?
21:21 cbxbiker61 internal net?
21:21 GAZ082 check the network drivers are loaded
21:21 GAZ082 is that a systemd?
21:22 cbxbiker61 in systemd you add .conf files in /etc/modules-load.d
21:23 cbxbiker61 brcmfmac handles the internal wifi
21:25 GAZ082 i never had to do that when installed archlinux
21:25 GAZ082 my modules.load.d dir is empty
21:25 cbxbiker61 yes...i said modules makes external wifi easier
21:27 GAZ082 cbxbiker61: lets reboot... i cannot make a ping on my cubox but it does have a link by showing in the router. Somehow have a link but not network connection. What should i Google to get me started in solving this?
21:35 cbxbiker61 GAZ082, the easiest approach is to use the serial connector to open up a local console on the device
21:36 cbxbiker61 then run the commands until you isolate the problem
21:36 GAZ082 cbxbiker61: yep, im doing that right now
21:36 cbxbiker61 btw, journalctl is your friend
21:36 cbxbiker61 journalctl -a
21:37 cbxbiker61 make sure no abnormalities there, also systemctl to make sure all jobs started
21:38 GAZ082 cbxbiker61: btw, whats your normal wifi transfer speed?
21:39 cbxbiker61 the internal wifi spec is 75Mbit/s
21:40 cbxbiker61 it's fine for most things, but not fast enough for the media files i use
21:41 GAZ082 cbxbiker61: i wean real world usage
21:41 GAZ082 cbxbiker61: i cant get through 800 KB/s
21:43 cbxbiker61 yeah, i ran some perf checks initially, but i don't remember what they were, other than I know that in the real-world my 150Mbit dongle tests out about twice as fast
21:50 cbxbiker61 GAZ082, turn off wifi power savings, that makes wifi more responsive
21:50 cbxbiker61 it'll probably fix any issue you have with ssh into box
21:51 GAZ082 cbxbiker61: i'll c heck if wifi conf was reset due kernel upgrade
21:56 GAZ082 it's disabled as per deviceconf file
22:06 GAZ082 damn
23:41 GAZ082 damn man, i will have to reinstall the kernel, this messed up everythign.
23:44 kgp :)
