| 06:04 | SirFunk | Hey there, I'm trying to get X working on a Cubox i4-pro .. any recommendations on drivers and setup? |
| 14:22 | esin | How are HB development tests going? Can you give an expected date for release or is it possible to preorder the HB? |
| 14:55 | heap | hi is this http://archlinuxarm.org/platforms/armv7/marvell/cubox soft or hard float point? |
| 14:57 | heap | or how can i figure out if this distro http://www.solid-run.com/mw/index.php?title=Arch_Linux_ARM is hard or soft float point? |
| 15:02 | wbx | heap: download it and make file on a binary ;) |
| 15:05 | heap | /usr/bin/irssi: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, ARM, EABI5 version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.27, BuildID[sha1]=b7d7d813e96ed0d5b70f52d444878b42aecb47d9, stripped |
| 15:07 | heap | cant see info about soft/hard float point |
| 15:18 | wbx | heap: ah, sorry. use readelf -a : Flags: 0x5000402, has entry point, Version5 EABI, hard-float ABI |
| 15:18 | wbx | heap: and ls /lib/ld* should be armhf |
| 15:22 | heap | i did alarm /home/heap # locate ld-linux-armhf.so |
| 15:22 | heap | /usr/lib/ld-linux-armhf.so.3 |
| 15:22 | heap | thx |
| 16:10 | esin | Deslok, HB has msata instead of esata. Do you know if I can use a sata multiplier for msata, because I didn't find msata mulitpliers |
| 16:12 | esin | Also I worry that there's not just a cable adapter for msata to sata, but I didn't msata to sata converter card |
| 16:12 | Deslok | in theory you could get an msata to sata/esata adapter and then use a multiplier |
| 16:13 | Deslok | one like this |
| 16:13 | Deslok | http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA3XT1D86813&cm_re=msata_adapter-_-9SIA3XT1D86813-_-Product |
| 16:13 | Deslok | not something I'll promise will work without taking a look at the chipset breakout but there's no reason it shouldnt |
| 16:15 | Deslok | I'm not sure where you can get one of those in the EU however |
| 16:15 | esin | Good to know, thanks. And for sata multiplier this one should be fine I guess: http://www.amazon.de/Syba-Hardware-Multiplier-intern-II-Ports/dp/B0056HNROI/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1403878489&sr=8-2&keywords=sata+multiplier |
| 16:15 | kgp | dx.com |
| 16:16 | Deslok | <3 DX |
| 16:17 | Deslok | pretty standard multiplier, should work without much issue |
| 16:17 | kgp | http://www.dx.com/fr/p/2-5-msata-to-sata-ssd-adapter-card-blue-black-309581#.U618ov5O2mg |
| 16:18 | Deslok | he needs to go the other way kgp, Msata>Sata |
| 16:19 | esin | Deslok, The image from kgp links says "msata to SATA Tester" |
| 16:19 | Deslok | yeah but if you look at the picture it's a card for putting a Msata bord on a regular sata slot |
| 16:20 | kgp | yes sorry |
| 16:20 | Deslok | you need to do the opposite like the one I linked on newegg |
| 16:20 | esin | Ah I see |
| 16:20 | kgp | a mSata HD is really cheap now... |
| 16:21 | kgp | it's not THAT cheap :) |
| 16:23 | Deslok | haha they've certainly come down to reasonable though, next round for laptops I'll probably go Msata+Mechanical |
| 16:25 | esin | Deslok, On the newegg link, is the msata slot the one above, and the sata so the one on the side? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA3XT1D86813&cm_re=msata_adapter-_-9SIA3XT1D86813-_-Product |
| 16:26 | Deslok | Msata is the little card portion, the Sata is the one perpendicular to the rest of the board |
| 16:41 | esin | Deslok, Hm I don't see the msata though. Do you mean the shorter jack on the side? The side looks like MiniPCI though :S |
| 16:42 | Deslok | physically msata and mini pcie are the same |
| 16:42 | Deslok | electrically they aren't but as far as the connectors go it's the same |
| 16:42 | esin | Um, I didn't know that. So the larger jack is just left empty then? |
| 16:43 | Deslok | larger jack? |
| 16:44 | esin | One moment, I sketch it |
| 16:44 | Deslok | you're looking at this thing right? http://imx.solid-run.com/wiki/index.php?title=File:Carrier-one.jpg |
| 16:46 | esin | Deslok, I meant the newegg adapter you linked earlier: http://i.imgur.com/JSbyT1Z.jpg |
| 16:46 | Deslok | 1&2 are the msata connector |
| 16:46 | esin | So I guess 1 is where the msata cable from the HB goes to, and 3 is where my SATA cable to the multiplier goes to |
| 16:46 | Deslok | 3 is the sata port you'd run a cable to the multipier |
| 16:46 | Deslok | 1&2 are a single connector |
| 16:47 | esin | Oh, I thought msata is smaller than sata |
| 16:47 | esin | I don't actually know how msata looks like |
| 16:47 | kgp | :) |
| 16:47 | Deslok | it's smaller than sata if you put it next to a drive, the pictures are throwing your sense of scale out the window |
| 16:49 | kgp | mSata and miniPCI share the same port.. but as not compatible... crazy :) |
| 16:51 | esin | The number 2 looks like the power for msata, and the number 1 is where the actual data is trasferred? |
| 16:51 | esin | (In analogy to standard sata devices, where there's the smaller sata cable and the larger power cable) |
| 16:52 | jnettlet | esin, the HB-pro model has a mPCIe connector. You can connect a SATA card to there. |
| 16:54 | esin | Ah, that's great. So I don't need an extra cable between the msata-sata adapter and the HB |
| 16:55 | esin | So if the mPCIe already serves the adapter power I probably don't need to put 5V on the adapter's power pins manually? |
| 16:56 | jnettlet | esin, do you need the GPIO/I2C? If not it sounds like the Cubox-i is a better fit with its eSata port |
| 16:56 | jnettlet | the mPCIe is only 3.3v |
| 16:56 | jnettlet | so it would need external power |
| 16:57 | jnettle | 16:57 * jnettlet has to go. |
| 16:57 | jnettlet | ttyl |
| 16:57 | esin | Well, at the moment I don't need the GPIO, but it depends if the HB will be released soon I'd still wait |
| 17:03 | Deslok | ahh the mess that is Msata |
| 22:42 | kgp | Where can I find the version 5 of Android for cubox ;) or android-l |
| 22:55 | jmontleon | is there some way to see what specific model of the cubox-i you are running from within linux? |
| 23:01 | kgp | uname -a perhaps? |
| 23:02 | kgp | or more /proc/cpuinfo |
