12:00 rabeeh HummingBoard and the i.MX6 based MicroSOM schematics, reference manual (and in few days layout)
12:00 rabeeh please let me know if someone needs more details than this :)
12:41 kgp Did you see the nice NoIR camera of the raspberry?
12:43 rabeeh yeah; i'm familiar with it
12:46 kgp Supported on the HummingBoard? ;)
12:58 rabeeh kgp: from pinout point of view; yes :)
12:59 rabeeh the sensor that is used is OV5647; which transmits raw image (vs. rgb / yuv where that's what the imx6 loves)
12:59 rabeeh jnettlet had initial success with it\
13:00 rabeeh kgp: lots of fun ahead of us :)
13:22 Koma_ hi all
13:23 Koma_ anyone is using openelec?
13:34 kgp I was... but not happy with the HD multicast streaming ;)
13:34 kgp You have 1 image / sec
13:34 kgp SD was fine
13:51 Koma_ what did you guys use for xbmc?
13:51 Koma_ xbian?
17:00 esin Does hummingboard pro come with Freescale 1,2 Ghz quad?
17:05 jnettlet esin, it does support it but you will need a custom heat sink to run it.
17:05 jnettlet oh the 1.2 Ghz
17:06 jnettlet SR only has microsoms up to 1Ghz
17:07 esin So for the 1 GHz Quad I also need a custom heat sink?
17:08 jnettlet yes. Normal basic usage it runs fine, but if you really push all the cores and the gpu hard you will hit the thermal shutdown pretty fast
17:08 esin Does the same apply to the cubox-i quad?
17:08 jnettlet The Cubox-i has a heat spreader built in which is why it can passively cool the quad just fine
17:09 esin Ah, that's good to know
17:09 jnettlet It hits an internal temperature of about 80C and levels out there
17:09 jnettlet thermal limiting kicks in at 90C
17:10 jnettlet shutdown is 110 I think
17:30 rabeeh esin: for business 1ghz (and probably 1.2ghz) can be offered
17:30 rabeeh when using the imx6 gpu the power goes much more higher
17:30 rabeeh mainly because of the gpu itself and the workload it generates on the ddr chips
17:30 rabeeh for now HB will be offered with dual core
17:30 rabeeh (with a custom heatsink)
19:25 esin Can I use the cubox-i archlinux image for the HB too?
20:15 jnettlet bewees, yes
