| 05:48 | Ghost9 | anyone have the latest kernel working on the cubox? |
| 05:55 | jnettlet | Ghost9, 3.16-rc1? |
| 05:55 | jnettlet | you need to have _rmk_'s patchset |
| 06:17 | Ghost9 | sure |
| 06:18 | Ghost9 | jnettlet: yes, that will do |
| 06:21 | Ghost9 | anyone have the latest stable kernel working on the cubox? thx |

| 10:33 | julpec | hello, I have a cubox-i2 but I don't know how to make it work. Wich distro is working on it because Xbian and OpenElec is not working (in reference to this pages : http://www.solid-run.com/wiki/OpenELEC http://www.solid-run.com/wiki/XBian |
| 10:33 | julpec | ? |
| 10:39 | wbx | julpec: working for xbmc? |
| 10:39 | julpec | wbx: I don't know... I tried Debian for cubox-i but doesn't work |
| 10:40 | julpec | I try to dd the image of openelec and I will try it |
| 10:41 | julpec | but I would like to know which distro is known to work on this device |
| 10:46 | julpec | ok, booting on openelec |
| 10:46 | julpec | good !!! for now, I have to make it work with Debian |
| 10:46 | julpec | bye |
| 15:18 | esin | Hi, I noticed that the HB specs don't mention the 470 Mbps Gigabit limitation as the cubox-i does, but that will also apply to HB right? |
| 15:18 | esin | http://www.solid-run.com/products/hummingboard/linux-sbc-specifications/ |
| 15:20 | jnettlet | esin, that 470Mbps limitation was actually a Freescale limitation. |
| 15:21 | jnettlet | great to some driver reworking by rmk we have been able to achieve throughput up to around 700Mbps in RX and about 540 in TX |
| 15:24 | esin | That sounds great. I suppose the driver works both for the freescal imx6 of the cubox-i4 quad and the HB? If I understand correctly the Freescale processor of the HB is seperatetly with the microsom board? |
| 15:26 | esin | Do I have to recompile the kernel myself with the driver by rmk or is the driver already within current cubox-i image releases such as archlinux_arm |
| 15:26 | jnettlet | yes they have the same hardware |
| 15:26 | jnettlet | the driver is upstream. The changes will be in the next 3.10 stable release |
| 15:28 | rabeeh_ | esin: yes. same hardware |
| 15:34 | esin | Awesome, thanks |
| 15:50 | bencoh | jnettlet: was a limitation ? |
| 15:51 | bencoh | you mean it's not a hardware one ? |
| 15:58 | rabeeh_ | bencoh: was and still |
| 15:58 | bencoh | hm I dont get it then |
| 15:58 | rabeeh_ | i.MX6 has internal buses limitation when it comes to 1000Mbps interface; depending on the kernel and the master mind behind that driver; performance can be up to 470Mbps, or up to 700Mbps; but never 1000Mbps |
| 15:59 | bencoh | hm ... okay |
| 15:59 | bencoh | I guess I should git log for details ? |
| 16:55 | esin | It's great that there is now also a german distributor for HB and cubox-i with the advantage that he has e.g. the cubox i4 on stock and I don't have to wait that long for the delivery |
| 17:05 | jnettlet | esin, do they ship to the rest of EU? |
| 17:07 | esin | jnettlet, Yes, but that costs 18,45 Euro for delivery instead of 6,5� then |
| 17:07 | esin | http://www.ecservices.de/shop_content.php?coID=1&MODsid=2b7b4864ecd34cdbde43c2d7ae022a45 |
| 17:07 | rabeeh | esin: regardless we don't have waiting list anymore :) |
| 17:07 | rabeeh | we are shipping from stock from a week or so; basically all the HB launch was delayed in order not to get into situation we have long waiting list and we launch a new product |
| 17:08 | jnettlet | rabeeh, have you announced that to the forums yet? |
| 17:09 | rabeeh | oh; not yet |
| 17:14 | rabeeh | welcome back malte |
| 17:41 | malte | :) |
| 17:41 | wbx | hi malte |
| 17:41 | malte | hi |
| 17:57 | davorin | interesting embedded conference it was.... |
| 17:57 | davorin | lots of i.mx6 boards.....industrila only though... |
| 18:04 | rabeeh | davorin: hey |
| 18:04 | rabeeh | did you show off your boards? :) |
| 18:04 | davorin | heya rabeeh |
| 18:04 | davorin | yes (o; |
| 18:04 | davorin | quite impressed they were... |
| 18:04 | davorin | so i think i need to push into industrial field.... |
| 18:04 | rabeeh | HB supports that |
| 18:04 | davorin | btw: minic-pcie wlan/bt adapters shipped just before.. |
| 18:04 | rabeeh | chip wise :) |
| 18:05 | rabeeh | great ! |
| 18:05 | davorin | you should get automatic emails when new tracking info is available... |
| 18:05 | rabeeh | i wonder how 11ac will behave on the mini pcie |
| 18:05 | davorin | no picture though with abroad shipping ;-) |
| 18:05 | davorin | that's only locally possible (o; |
| 18:07 | davorin | now you received an emial (o; |
| 18:10 | davori | 18:10 * davorin back to lab repair (o; |
| 18:42 | rabeeh | http://www.solid-run.com/community/post9633.html |
| 18:42 | rabeeh | http://www.solid-run.com/community/topic1298.html |
| 21:22 | esin | Hm, I guess 16GB microSD should suffice for the arm OS with root / and /home on it. Though 32GB are cheaper now it's probably not needed |
| 21:23 | esin | 32GB 15,5� and 16GB 11� |
| 22:33 | curlymo | anyone here that can help me with a hummingboard? |
| 22:34 | cbxbiker61 | what's the question? |
| 22:34 | curlymo | a few |
| 22:34 | curlymo | 1. does it have m-sata and mini-pcie? |
| 22:34 | davorin_mbp | yes... |
| 22:35 | jnettlet | curlymo, the pro version has both |
| 22:35 | curlymo | which one is which? |
| 22:35 | jnettlet | the mini-pcie only fits half height cards |
| 22:35 | davorin_mbp | http://www.solid-run.com/products/hummingboard/linux-sbc-specifications/ |
| 22:35 | curlymo | so the one on top is pice? |
| 22:35 | jnettlet | The pro version is the one with msata and mpcie, the non-pro doesn't have those features |
| 22:36 | curlymo | thanks |
| 22:36 | jnettlet | so the i2eX has the features you are looking for |
| 22:36 | curlymo | but as i asked. Is the one on top therefor pcie? |
| 22:37 | jnettlet | yep. |
| 22:37 | jnettlet | it is half height |
| 22:39 | curlymo | 2. I don't have a HDMI capable device so i want to use a HDMI to VGA adapter but when i do i end up in a reboot loop |
| 22:40 | jnettlet | with Android or Linux? |
| 22:40 | curlymo | linux |
| 22:40 | curlymo | XBian |
| 22:41 | curlymo | but i don't think i even get past the u-boot stage |
| 22:43 | jnettlet | does u-boot flash an image onto the screen? |
| 22:43 | jnettlet | it provides just a very standard VESA 1024x768 framebuffer |
| 22:43 | curlymo | no, my monitor complains about the resolution |
| 22:43 | curlymo | it's only 1680x1050 |
| 22:44 | jnettlet | ah, yeah uboot won't work with that |
| 22:44 | jnettlet | but it should still boot the kernel |
| 22:44 | curlymo | i never see any image because of the resolution issue. I only notice the reboot loop |
| 22:45 | jnettlet | do you have a serial cable you can use to debug? |
| 22:45 | curlymo | yes. But then first the third question :) |
| 22:45 | curlymo | It's about GPIO |
| 22:46 | jnettlet | okay |
| 22:47 | curlymo | 3. The wiki says the Hummingboard is pin compatible with the Raspberry Pi. However, when i simply attach a led to (the assumed) pin 17 and try to turn it on by using the userspace functions in /sys/class nothing happens. If i want to set GPIO 17 to 1 it stays 0 |
| 22:51 | jnettlet | curlymo, pin 17 is not configured as a GPIO by default. |
| 22:52 | curlymo | what do you mean by that? |
| 22:52 | jnettlet | the pins are all muxed. The pins that are default GPIO's are pin 7,11,12,13,15,16,18,22 |
| 22:53 | curlymo | do these numbers reflect the BCM numbering as used in the Raspberry Pi? |
| 22:53 | jnettlet | in /sys/class/gpio they correspond to gpio numbers 1,73,72,71,70,194,195,67 |
| 22:54 | curlymo | but pin 18 is at the same location as on the Raspberry Pi? |
| 22:54 | jnettlet | yes |
| 22:56 | curlymo | also doesn't work |
| 22:56 | curlymo | what i just do is |
| 22:56 | curlymo | echo 195 > /sys/class/gpio/export |
| 22:57 | curlymo | echo out > /sys/class/gpio195/direction |
| 22:57 | curlymo | echo 1 > /sys/class/gpio195/value |
| 22:57 | curlymo | the led is connected to BCM pin 18 |
| 23:06 | rabeeh | curlymo: what is the expecation here? |
| 23:07 | rabeeh | i mean what is the best end user experience in your mind? |
| 23:08 | curlymo | that the led is turned on |
| 23:09 | curlymo | if i can get that to work than all advanced GPIO stuff will work as well.... |
| 23:31 | curlymo | Any ideas? |
| 23:35 | jnettlet | curlymo, I will test more tomorrow. That all sounds correct and I know other people are using the GPIO's successfully. |
| 23:35 | jnettlet | can you catch up with me tomorrow night? |
| 23:35 | curlymo | i'll see |
| 23:35 | curlymo | back to the serial question |
| 23:35 | curlymo | are those also the same pins as on the Raspberry Pi? |
| 23:43 | curlymo | and what are the settings for the serial connection: 115200, 1n8, no flow control? |
