| 00:59 | GAZ082 | cbxbiker61: you there? |
| 01:14 | Vanfanel | Good night all :) |
| 01:14 | Vanfanel | rabeeh: I read here -> http://www.solid-run.com/community/topic755.html that you guys sent hardware to the RetroArch people |
| 01:15 | Vanfanel | rabeeh: So, did anything come out of it? Is Retroarch running in NON-X GLES2 mode in the HummingBoard? |
| 01:19 | GAZ082 | crap, just upgraded the kernel to 3.10.47 and cant ssh anymore, port is ok, service is up and running |
| 01:20 | GAZ082 | eth0 is up |
| 01:39 | cbxbiker61 | GAZ082, what's up? |
| 01:43 | GAZ082 | cbxbiker61: hi man, managed to get wifi back again thanks to you. :) now i upgraded to .47. does it do something to the firewall setup? |
| 01:44 | cbxbiker61 | no, someone else had pretty much the same kind of problem but i don't remember the details |
| 01:46 | cbxbiker61 | it may have been a module that didn't get loaded automatically, but i'm just guessing now |
| 01:47 | cbxbiker61 | your system log is where you should look for anything abnormal |
| 02:10 | GAZ082 | cbxbiker61: looks like the firewall is having hard time to launch |
| 02:10 | GAZ082 | cbxbiker61: modprobe: FATAL: Module nf_conntrack_ftp not found. |
| 02:12 | GAZ082 | cbxbiker61: modprobe: FATAL: Module nf_nat_ftp not found. |
| 02:12 | GAZ082 | cbxbiker61: modprobe: FATAL: Module nf_conntrack_netbios_ns not found. |
| 02:13 | cbxbiker61 | looks like i didn't have conntrack enable, i'll fix that and put a new rev out i a few |
| 02:13 | GAZ082 | cbxbiker61: and how do i enale it? |
| 02:13 | GAZ082 | *enable |
| 02:14 | GAZ082 | cbxbiker61: or you have to recompile the kernel |
| 02:14 | cbxbiker61 | all you have to do is wait for the newer version... then make sure you have removed the older downloaded files....then rerun the download/update script |
| 02:16 | GAZ082 | cbxbiker61: will you upload the new ver today? |
| 02:16 | cbxbiker61 | i've started it now, i'll be done in less than an hour |
| 02:25 | cbxbiker61 | ok, it's done. but make sure you clear out the *3.10.47* files in the directory that you run UPDATE-KERNEL.sh |
| 02:26 | cbxbiker61 | it only downloads the new versions when it doesn't find them on disk |
| 04:38 | GAZ082 | cbxbiker61: ok, will try it now! |
| 05:14 | GAZ082 | cbxbiker61: firewall is working now, great! |
| 05:14 | GAZ082 | cbxbiker61: please dont forget to compile with that for the next time! |

| 12:38 | m_anish | jnettlet, any word on the new fedora kernel.. |
| 12:38 | m_anish | jnettlet, btw, I wasn't able to get the serial cable.. but I do think I may be able to fashion one out... I have a USB-RS232 conv lying around.. isn't that what it essentially is? |
| 14:30 | tblah | hi I have a question about cubox. Can it be run using only free software (free as in freedom)? How much is supported using free software? |
| 14:33 | rabeeh | tblah: most of it yes; today there are three binary blobs - |
| 14:33 | rabeeh | 1. gpu user space drivers |
| 14:33 | rabeeh | 2. vpu firmware |
| 14:33 | rabeeh | 3. and some ADMA firmware (mostly unused) |
| 14:34 | rabeeh | the goal is having 100% software OSS running at least on the ARM processor |
| 14:34 | rabeeh | meaning eliminating #1 above; and with that comes the etnaviv project |
| 14:35 | rabeeh | vpu firmware is the video engine firmware; which provides hardware acceleration to decode |
| 14:35 | rabeeh | video engine drivers sources (the drivers that runs on the ARM processor) are all available without any NDA from fsl |
| 14:36 | tblah | thanks |
| 14:36 | rabeeh | the low level drivers of the vpu (the part that runs on the ARM processor) are licensed in a manner that you can't directly modify them; but you can apply patches to them (i believe that's what Yocto on imx6 project does) |
| 14:37 | rabeeh | so; bottom line is that once Etnaviv is sorted out and ready for prime time; then 100% source code will be available for the ARM processors ! |
| 14:38 | rabeeh | from my stand point of view; any one (literally) that is willing to donate his free time and experience to Etnaviv got a free CuBox-i (or HummingBoard) |
| 14:38 | rabeeh | s/my/out === Solidrun |
| 14:40 | tblah | rabeeh: thankyou this information has been useful. Looks like I will be making a purchase soon :) |
| 14:58 | rabeeh | tblah: just notice that i'm not promising anything with regards Etnaviv; just setting expectations |
| 14:59 | rabeeh | what i'm saying is that anyone that is willing to promote the project; then we can provide him hardware for his development |
| 16:29 | tblah | rabeeh: I have free time but no experience with graphics drivers. Maybe once I get my cubox I could do testing for you? |
| 16:34 | jnettlet | tblah, thanks for the offer. I will definitely take you up on it |
| 22:29 | idiomatic | is this the place to go for a quick CuBox-i2 benchmark request? "openssl speed aes-128-cbc" at 8192, if you'd be so kind. |
| 23:28 | nik^spotify | idiomatic: I can do it on an i4 for you |
| 23:28 | nik^spotify | type 16 bytes 64 bytes 256 bytes 1024 bytes 8192 bytes |
| 23:28 | nik^spotify | aes-128 cbc 29804.50k 33707.07k 35080.11k 35206.49k 35444.05k |
| 23:28 | idiomatic | nik^spotify thanks. that's reassuring it can sustain 100Mbps. |
| 23:29 | nik^spotify | idiomatic: spec table for i2/i4 (which you've probably seen already) http://www.solid-run.com/products/cubox-i-mini-computer/cubox-i-specifications/ |
| 23:29 | nik^spotify | and np for the benchmark, not sure how different it would be on an i2, but I can't imagine it would be significantly slower on the i2 |
| 23:30 | idiomatic | yep, and i've built my own (use-case biased) comparison table: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1qTZ2QZGOH-aRzRP1JdPAfnYY_9woYJMb3t-l3fDFojA/edit#gid=0 |
| 23:30 | nik^spotify | nice |
| 23:30 | nik^spotify | ah cool, quite complete |
