05:46 bradl001 Hello. I've got a few questions about the HummingBoard Pro. First, has anyone added the SIM module to the bottom? If so, does that prevent mSATA cards from being installed?
08:02 m_anish cool, looks like F20 support is now extended to HB, and lower models ... trying!
08:30 m_anish well, it boots ( jnettlet , FYI ) :-)
09:42 davorin rabeeh?
15:17 bradl001 Does anyone have info about putting the SIM holder on the back of the HummingBoard? Does it interfere with the mSATA? Thanks.
15:37 jmontleon bradl001, don't know - im personally going to use the msata whenever it (the hb that is) arrives, and I could take some pictures if there is any clearance, but I honestly have no idea what's needed
15:38 jmontleon i saw where they pointed out the space for it, which looked like it would have to be under the msata
15:43 m_anish what's the best place to create an issue for f20-hb images
15:44 m_anish jmontleon, ^? any idea :-)
15:44 jmontleon can create a github issue or ask on the foreman; or here, what's the issue? :)
15:44 jmontleon foreman = forum
15:44 jmontleon sorry, getting my streams crossed
15:45 m_anish http://fpaste.org/117266/05086310/
15:45 m_anish trying to get a USB wireless point working
15:46 jmontleon neat
15:46 jmontleon it works otherwise?
15:46 m_anish nope :)
15:46 m_anish i mean, i tried it on my laptop, it works there
15:46 m_anish but not on the hb
15:46 jmontleon no, no, i mean the cubox is booting and working otherwise?
15:47 m_anish jmontleon, yes, and thanks for the recent build! :)
15:47 jmontleon m_anish, which model are you using? also that one looks like it might conceivably be fixed for the adding coherent_pool=64M to the mmcargs line in /boot/uEnv.txt
15:48 m_anish jmontleon, i'll try that.. I don't know the model name, because I received an early prototype, but I think it's a hummingbird .. 512M RAM 1GHz single core
15:49 jmontleon ah, cool. you're the first report I have of anything aside from an i4Pro working :)
15:49 m_anish :-)
15:50 jmontleon gives me hope I can really just drop my own image on my Hummingboard and just have it work when it arrives :)
15:50 m_anish jmontleon, it wasn't working until three days ago, with the older image.
15:50 jmontleon ya, someone learned me how to get it to load the correct dtb for the given model so I fixed it; did not know how to do that before they did that
15:51 jmontleon unfortunately they were just unknown-user on the forum so i have no idea who it actually was
15:51 m_anish ok
15:52 bradl001 jmontleon -- thanks for the info. Would appreciate hearing others experience as SIM socket would be great. Assuming I can get a half-sized mini PCI-Express cellular card. :-)
15:54 m_anish jmontleon, hmpf.. [root@localhost ~]# lsusb
15:54 m_anish unable to initialize libusb: -99
15:54 m_anish ( I just rebooted )
15:55 bradl001 General question - I see m_anish is having USB issues and I'm curious to know if it's hard to get these boards booted and running reliably?
15:56 m_anish bradl001, I've tried a few other OSes Ubuntu, Geexbox, and they run quite well. I've had trouble with fedora, and it's now working today.. I'd attribute part of the problems I'm facing to a shitty USB wifi point I bought (with an unsupported crappily written driver)
15:57 bradl001 m_anish -- thanks for the feedback. I'm going to try this with both OpenSUSE and possibly ArchLinux. When I get a board...
15:57 m_anish I've had to compile the driver after fixing a minor bug and get it to work on x86 (make, make install, the works) ... so this is really, early days in my cubox/hb journey ;)
15:59 jmontleon m_anish, did you use the preconfigured image or set it up yourself? if yourself I'd try to force reinstalling the kernel (or updating it if there is an updated version available); if you used the prepared image or lsmod is giving output there might be something more required for usb on the hummingboard...
15:59 m_anish jmontleon, using the preconfigured image
16:00 jmontleon was usb working on the prior reboot?
16:00 jmontleon it looks so from your dmesg output
16:00 m_anish jmontleon, yes
16:01 m_anish jmontleon, i removed the coherent_pool arg and lsusb makes sense again, i added it back and am rebooting to see wth is happening
16:01 jmontleon weird; let me see if i can reproduce
16:02 m_anish jmontleon, the failing case: http://fpaste.org/117276/14050873/
16:04 jmontleon oh
16:05 jmontleon 64M might be ridiculous; think im thinking of cma=; coherent pool looks to be 256k? by default; 1M might work sanely
16:06 m_anish okay, lemme try
16:07 jmontleon ya, 1M doesn't break anything
16:08 jmontleon default is indeed 256k, arch/arm/mm/dma-mapping.c: #define DEFAULT_DMA_COHERENT_POOL_SIZE SZ_256K
16:09 m_anish think that worked!
16:09 jmontleon sweet
16:09 jmontleo 16:09 * jmontleon admits to being a horrible hack with this stuff
16:09 m_anish http://fpaste.org/117282/87798140/
16:10 m_anish thanks to horrible hacks like jmontleon who keep the world spinning :P
16:11 m_anish my USB wireless point is happy as well
16:11 m_anish now, lets see... where are you ... hostapd :)
16:13 m_anish timm_, hey!
22:05 Flooo hi guys
22:08 Flooo I failed to set up IPv6 automatic configuration via network manager (eth0) on cubox-i4p arch linux 3.10.
22:13 cbxbiker61 Flooo, zcat /proc/config.gz | grep IPV6, make sure ipv6 has been built-in or is available as a module first, if a module make sure it's loaded
22:13 cbxbiker61 gotta go
22:16 Flooo CONFIG_IPV6=y
22:17 Flooo damn he's gone..
22:58 MrMoonlight hi
23:04 Flooo I gotta go. see you
23:39 yoKKa hi all!
23:40 yoKKa my question now is: are there accelerated GPU drivers available?
