| 02:29 | richardjortega | has anyone got wifi working? i'm just trying to list the hardware in the Debian Wheezy from Gunnar Wolf? I can't even find a way to list hardware |
| 02:48 | mhoney | i have it working |
| 02:48 | mhoney | just edit your interfaces file and add wlan0 |
| 04:16 | _dab_ | rabeeh: how did you go with my switch? |
| 13:53 | purch | where are original cubox forums? |
| 13:54 | lubiana | purch: http://www.solid-run.com/archive/phpbb/ |
| 13:54 | purch | thx |
| 13:54 | lubiana | np |
| 13:56 | purch | have to upgrade it to ubuntu 14.04, easier to maintain servers with same package versions etc. |
| 14:19 | lubiana | that is why i use debian for servers :) |
| 14:21 | purch | does ubuntu LTS and debian version differ much? |
| 14:24 | lubiana | dunno. |
| 14:25 | lubiana | but yeah, ubuntu 14.04 is lts |
| 14:25 | lubiana | forgot that |
| 19:05 | q4tester | hello |
| 19:11 | mhoney | hello |
| 19:16 | rabeeh | q4tester: hi |
| 19:16 | rabeeh | mhoney: hi |
| 19:32 | mhoney | hi rabeeh |
| 19:35 | malte | hi |
| 19:41 | rabeeh | hey malte |
| 19:41 | malte | hey rabeeh |
| 19:43 | q4tester | trying to interface the wandboard OV5640 camera from econsystems to the cubox-i quad |
| 19:44 | q4tester | anyone ever hooked up a camera to the microsom in the channel ? |
| 19:44 | rabeeh | which one is that? |
| 19:44 | rabeeh | the one that hooks directly to their SOM? |
| 19:45 | q4tester | http://www.e-consystems.com/iMX6-wandboard-camera.asp |
| 19:46 | q4tester | from the wandboard schematic it looks like it's just the csi clk, four data lanes and rnext |
| 19:46 | q4tester | http://www.wandboard.org/images/downloads/wbquad-revb1-userguide.pdf |
| 19:47 | q4tester | trying to figure out how I can have sdcard daughter board and still access the csi |
| 19:47 | rabeeh | q4tester: i suggest for you to look at HummingBoard; there is a 15pin header that you can map as-is |
| 19:48 | rabeeh | two mipi csi lanes; i2c and on/off |
| 19:48 | q4tester | okay |
| 19:48 | rabeeh | what i mean is hack a flex cable that trimms the 30pin to 15pin |
| 19:49 | rabeeh | http://download.solid-run.com/pub/solidrun/HummingBoard/rev-3.0/ |
| 19:49 | rabeeh | that's HummingBoard schematics |
| 19:51 | q4tester | thanks |
| 19:51 | q4tester | should give me a clue |
| 19:52 | q4tester | a daughter board that provides gigabit ethernet and camera interface would be so amazing for this SOM |
| 19:53 | q4tester | POE too |
| 19:54 | rabeeh | yeah; POE has been requested for both CuBox-i and HummingBoard for a long time. |
| 20:06 | q4tester | just bought a hummingbird, so I can try it out |
| 20:06 | q4tester | been working with imx6 vpu for quite some time, it is a beast I love it |
| 20:07 | q4tester | so there's no difference between the micro som that comes with the humming bird vs. buying the microsom and then adding a carrier ? |
| 20:07 | q4tester | hope not |
| 20:08 | jnettlet | q4tester, nope |
| 20:16 | jmontleon | rabeeh, from your post on the forums, sounds like if you use a dual or quad on the hummingboard it should probably be ok without heat sink as long as your not taxing the graphics? |
| 20:19 | rabeeh | q4tester: jnettlet, rmk and lots others have been swapping their MicroSOMs on HummingBoards rev 2.0, and now rev 3.0 with CuBox-i without worries :) |
| 20:20 | rabeeh | jmontleon: highly depends on how you use it |
| 20:20 | rabeeh | i'v found that the quad core maxes at ~900mA from the 5V on HummingBoard when not using the GPU |
| 20:20 | rabeeh | in my case it's good enough not to reach the 90c where it starts slowing things down |
| 20:21 | rabeeh | just to make things clear; even if you run it with the gpu, vpu, quad and put it in an oven; no damage will happen since it will start slowing itself at 90c to lower frequencies |
| 20:21 | rabeeh | in my case; the oven is set to 45c :) |
| 20:21 | rabeeh | not a baking oven :) |
| 20:21 | q4tester | lol |
| 20:22 | rabeeh | the gc2k sucks lots of power |
| 20:23 | rabeeh | because of the quad shader it has and the memory I/O it generates on the DDR interface |
| 20:23 | rabeeh | oh; and here is a photo of the heatsink - |
| 20:23 | rabeeh | http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/72661517/tbr/IMG_20140714_231508.jpg |
| 20:24 | rabeeh | anyone guess that it's going to be a RED heatsink? :) |
| 20:24 | jmontleon | lol, understood rabeeh |
| 20:24 | jmontleon | I have a microfan/heatsink coming that I plan to attach, but good to know it won't bake itself regardless :) |
| 20:26 | jmontleon | rabeeh, looks nice :) |
| 20:26 | malte | nice:) |
| 20:27 | rabeeh | it's also pretty good in getting the heat out |
| 20:27 | jmontleon | are you guys going to sell those heat sinks or is it something off the shelf from somewhere already? |
| 20:27 | rabeeh | today the screws are up; next rev it will be screws down going all the way through HB |
| 20:27 | rabeeh | they will be provided for free on each HB |
| 20:27 | rabeeh | sorry; HB-i2ex |
| 20:27 | rabeeh | HB-i2 will be a simple self adhesive heatsink |
| 20:28 | rabeeh | HB-i1 doesn't request heatsink |
| 20:28 | jmontleon | what if you buy the quad microsom with HB? |
| 20:28 | rabeeh | two RED heatsinks then :) |
| 20:29 | rabeeh | one RED heatsink |
| 20:29 | rabeeh | actually the differences are not so huge; it's typically extra 150-200mA per processor |
| 20:30 | rabeeh | ok; time to go home |
| 20:31 | rabeeh | i'm taking few days off; will be back Tuesday. |
| 20:31 | rabeeh | ttyl all |
| 20:31 | jmontleon | enjoy rabeeh ! |
| 20:31 | rabeeh | thanks jmontleon |
| 20:33 | rabeeh | i wonder what i should be taking to the vacation |
| 20:33 | rabeeh | Hummingboard or CuBox-i |
| 20:33 | rabeeh | HummingBoard this time. |
| 20:54 | q4tester | any buildroot config for cubox-i ? |
