| 12:43 | quitte | what is the non-placed square bga on the usom? |
| 12:50 | quitte | hmm. it seems to be to accomodate for the bcm4329/bcm4330 |
| 13:00 | jnettlet | quitte, one is for the bcm4329, the other for the bcm4330 |
| 13:01 | jnettlet | if you have the bga's positioned at the top then the left is for 4329, and the right is for 4330 |
| 13:29 | rabeeh | the pictures are old; we need to renew them |
| 13:29 | rabeeh | black bga is bcm4330; silver is bcm4329 |
| 16:33 | Fortuona | good day everyone |
| 16:33 | Fortuona | I have been writing a wiki page for opensuse: http://www.solid-run.com/wiki/OpenSUSE |
| 16:34 | Fortuona | and I'd like to set i2eX to incompatibke too for now, but dont know how |
| 16:34 | Fortuona | and, is it possible to use a different color from red? something like "untested" |
| 16:35 | Fortuona | maybe yellow? |
| 21:22 | rabeeh | Fortuona: great ! |
| 21:24 | mhoney | is there a different channel for the hummingboard? |
| 21:24 | rabeeh | mhoney: same channel |
| 21:24 | mhoney | k thx |
| 21:25 | rabeeh | there were thoughts to change it to #solidrun |
| 21:26 | mhoney | good idea |
| 22:02 | Artox | [21:23] Fortuona: great ! |
| 22:02 | Artox | indeed |
| 22:20 | richardjortega | hello |
| 22:24 | richardjortega | hello |
| 22:26 | richardjortega | is it best to keep Ubuntu (I believe 11.10) image that is on the CuBox website, or upgrade it to 12.04/12.10? Also has anyone got wifi to work? |
| 22:32 | mhoney | I use the jessie image which works well with the wifi |
| 22:34 | Artox | richardjortega: I'd suggest not to update the ubuntu image, at least for me that didnt give me any additional features, and broke accelerated graphics |
| 22:34 | Artox | and mhoney is right, the jessie image is not bad |
| 22:34 | richardjortega | ok cool |
| 22:35 | richardjortega | i'm standing up rails on it for testing |
| 22:35 | richardjortega | jessie image is arch? |
| 22:35 | Artox | its debian |
| 22:36 | richardjortega | oh cool, then I should be able to get Rails package in there |
| 22:36 | richardjortega | sorry for the all questions, forums and wiki are all over the place (With old references, some dead links and such) |
| 22:37 | richardjortega | do USB wifi modules work? |
| 22:42 | Artox | maybe |
| 22:42 | Artox | maybe not |
| 22:43 | richardjortega | i bought a Freescale iMX6 dev board cause I liked the specs, then when I saw CuBox, I'm like someone already put together in a small form factor with the iMX6 platform |
| 22:43 | richardjortega | I was able to get Ubuntu running on that, but it still was older version and there was no wifi module on the dev board from Freescale |
| 22:43 | richardjortega | appreciate the help @Artox and @mhoney |
| 22:47 | Artox | you know, you can always compile your own kernel and add the modules you need |
| 22:48 | richardjortega | That is likely a path I'll have to take, I'm not super familiar with any of that, but it seems like it'd be fun to learn |
| 22:48 | richardjortega | I will definitely look into that, I'm way better at making apps than working with Linux lol |
| 22:49 | Artox | I see |
| 22:51 | Artox | looks like you'll have to get used to it anyway |
| 22:52 | richardjortega | yeah, this is a work project and my embedded knowledge is very limited |
| 22:52 | richardjortega | that's why CuBox was entertaining to us... Drop a Linux distro (similar to RPi with more cores and RAM), then we have a small server we can stand up |
| 22:53 | Artox | ah |
| 22:53 | Artox | so you dont actually need any fancy gpu work done? |
| 22:54 | richardjortega | nope, not really, it's a nice feature in case we add some other hw feature that may utilize it |
| 22:54 | richardjortega | actually this could be all command line/headless, just need wifi |
| 22:54 | richardjortega | just DLed the debian jessie distro and will flash it now |
| 22:55 | Artox | in the near future it should be fine to use simply the mainline kernel |
| 22:55 | Artox | it jsut wont have gpu stuff |
| 23:12 | richardjortega | last question... how are people using GParted to expand their partitions? I'm familiar with GParted and how to do the process, but I can't seem to get CuBox to boot from USB from GParted Live USB (using 'usbboot' in U-Boot prompt) |
| 23:16 | Artox | well |
| 23:16 | Artox | you wont |
| 23:17 | Artox | 1) gparted live is not for arm |
| 23:17 | Artox | 2) I am not aware of a standard for how to boot external drives on arm |
| 23:17 | Artox | we jsut stick the sdcard into our PC |
| 23:17 | Artox | usually |
