| 00:27 | deniska | Anyone experienced wifi problems with 3.10.30 kernel (in arch linux arm)? |
| 00:30 | deniska | It stops working after a while until I reboot device |
| 15:04 | tekk | hey guys |
| 15:05 | tekk | i've installed debian-jessi via the solid-run image on my cubox i4pro |
| 15:05 | tekk | however, the kernel doesn't include the tun module and i can't seem to find kernel sources to build it either... can anyone help with either a precompiled version or a link to the kernel sources (as iptables seem missing too) |
| 15:16 | tekk | i've found http://www.solid-run.com/wiki/index.php?title=Building_the_kernel_and_u-boot_for_the_CuBox-i_and_the_HummingBoard |
| 15:16 | tekk | i think i'm gonna follow steps but just compile in tun/iptables and replace my kernel |
| 15:16 | tekk | it should work i guess |
| 17:26 | rabeeh | looks like freenode is messy today; lots of netsplits |
| 18:46 | tekk | anyone? |
| 18:55 | rabeeh | tekk: here |
| 18:55 | tekk | do you know much about kernel's on the cubox? |
| 18:55 | rabeeh | cubox? or cubox-i? |
| 18:55 | tekk | cubox-i sorry |
| 18:55 | rabeeh | go ahead |
| 18:55 | rabeeh | maybe i can help you |
| 18:56 | tekk | i'm using an i4-pro with the debian jessi image from solidrun |
| 18:56 | tekk | it comes with a kernel that has no tun or iptables |
| 18:56 | rabeeh | ah ok |
| 18:56 | rabeeh | i'm seeing your messages on the log |
| 18:56 | tekk | i have experience with kernels on conventional systems... i was about to recompile the kernel (of course researching how to do that for a cubox first) |
| 18:56 | tekk | then came across this: http://www.solid-run.com/community/topic1156.html |
| 18:56 | tekk | i think that guy may have included tun (as he included iptables). |
| 18:57 | tekk | i just wondered if that was the right thing for me ? |
| 18:57 | tekk | i don't use any biult in flash etc... i just flashed a micro-sd and put it in my cubox |
| 18:57 | tekk | (i've had my cubox for about 2 months but only powered it on about 1 day ago for the first time :)) |
| 18:59 | rabeeh | so you need iptables? |
| 18:59 | rabeeh | or tun? |
| 18:59 | rabeeh | i'm uploading right now a Debian jessi image that has CONFIG_TUN enabled |
| 18:59 | rabeeh | but not CONFIG_NETFILTER |
| 19:00 | rabeeh | based on kernel 3.0.35 |
| 19:03 | tekk | i need both really |
| 19:03 | tekk | CONFIG_TUN for VPN |
| 19:04 | tekk | and CONFIG_NETFILTER to allow the VPN to route traffic |
| 19:04 | tekk | i'm not sure if the files in http://www.xilka.com/kernel/UPDATE-OLD-CUBOX-KERNEL.sh are for a cubox or cubox-u |
| 19:04 | tekk | cubox-i* |
| 19:04 | tekk | the last step was create a link from /boot/cubox-3.6.11-uImage to /boot/uImage lol |
| 19:04 | tekk | fingers crossed |
| 19:05 | deniska | 3.10.30 from arch linux arm has those things enabled >_> |
| 19:07 | tekk | :o |
| 19:07 | tekk | i should try that i supose |
| 19:07 | Artox | tekk: judging by the kernel version 3.6.11 the were not for cubox-i |
| 19:07 | tekk | is tehre any kernel guide for cubox? |
| 19:07 | tekk | documentation? |
| 19:08 | Artox | ofcourse |
| 19:08 | cbxbiker61 | yes, my kernel has tun module |
| 19:08 | Artox | http://www.solid-run.com/wiki/index.php?title=Building_the_kernel_and_u-boot_for_the_CuBox-i_and_the_HummingBoard |
| 19:08 | Artox | the instructions are pretty nice I'd say |
| 19:09 | Artox | yiou know, I keep wondering why poeple always suggest to unpack compressed binaries .... |
| 19:13 | tekk | cheers |
| 19:13 | tekk | cbxbiker61, hi i wrote back |
| 19:13 | tekk | i think i've used the wrong script of yours |
| 19:13 | tekk | as the one you posted had a broken link |
| 19:13 | tekk | my cubox has now gone offline :S |
| 19:14 | tekk | i have an i4-pro and just want to install a kernel with tun/iptables really :D |
| 19:15 | tekk | oo its come back to life |
| 19:15 | tekk | 3.0.35-g0f2006c-dirty |
| 19:15 | tekk | but with the old kernel seemingly |
| 19:16 | tekk | i'm assuming http://www.solid-run.com/community/topic1156.html is for the cubox i? (i.e. my i4pro |
| 19:16 | Artox | yes |
| 19:17 | tekk | "Assuming we're on a dove-cubox" |
| 19:18 | tekk | so without going poking around, just following cbxbiker61 's post... it seems the files are not on his server any longer http://pasti.ng/p/MooJnfXh |
| 19:19 | cbxbiker61 | UPDATE-KERNEL.sh 3.10.49 |
| 19:19 | tekk | 3.11.9 works, should i use that or 3.10.49 ? |
| 19:19 | tekk | ah sorry i tried 3.10.49 its missing |
| 19:19 | tekk | (see hte pasting) |
| 19:19 | tekk | 3.11.9 seems to have the files there though? |
| 19:19 | cbxbiker61 | is this a cubox-i ? |
| 19:20 | tekk | cubox i4-pro |
| 19:20 | tekk | i have no idea what a dove-cubox is |
| 19:20 | cbxbiker61 | does it say imx-imx when UPDATE-KERNEL.sh runs? |
| 19:20 | deniska | probably previous cubox, without -i |
| 19:21 | tekk | no |
| 19:21 | tekk | here is my /proc/cpuinfo http://pasti.ng/p/eVRVcglh |
| 19:21 | cbxbiker61 | which kernel was stock on your distro, 3.0.x? if so that wouldn't use a SPL u-boot, which would be a problem... |
| 19:22 | cbxbiker61 | since my 3.10.x stuff expects to run on a SPL u-boot |
| 19:22 | tekk | 3.0.35-g0f2006c-dirty |
| 19:22 | tekk | i'm running the jessi image from solid run just flashed to micro-sd |
| 19:23 | cbxbiker61 | yeah, i'd say you better off running a distro that has already mitgrated to the SPL u-boot way of doing things, that's were all of the actuion will be in the future |
| 19:24 | tekk | hmm |
| 19:24 | tekk | i got my image from here http://www.solid-run.com/linux-distros-ready-ubuntu-fedora-debian/ |
| 19:25 | tekk | i tried ubuntu first, but it was a terrible image, now i'm on debian jessi |
| 19:25 | tekk | what's your recommended way of getting a debian variant that supports SPL u-boot on the i4-pro? |
| 19:25 | cbxbiker61 | i thought they had two images... |
| 19:26 | tekk | not that i can see? i'd rather just flash an image if possible, otherwise i'll have to follow this https://wiki.debian.org/ArmHardFloatPort/CuBox-i |
| 19:28 | cbxbiker61 | it's possible to tack the dts on the tail of the zImage for older versions, i just don't have time to do that now, and am not in the position to test it either |
| 19:29 | tekk | i'd rather go with your suggestion and move to a SPL u-boot supporting image |
| 19:29 | tekk | is https://wiki.debian.org/ArmHardFloatPort/CuBox-i a sensible approach? |
| 19:31 | cbxbiker61 | it should work |
| 19:31 | tekk | ok i'll give that a go, then run your script again after |
| 19:31 | tekk | thanks for your help |
| 20:35 | rabee | 20:35 * rabeeh bans *!*@50.97.232.130-static.reverse.softlayer.com |
| 20:35 | rabeeh | first ban on #cubox; i have no idea who those are but they have been joining and leaving #cubox for the last few days |
| 20:39 | malte_ | :) |
| 21:11 | richardjortega | has anyone got wifi working on debian wheezy? |
| 21:12 | richardjortega | i even bought Panda Wireless and Edimax USB wifi adpaters (That work well I hear on Raspbian), but no luck on Gannar Wolf's Debian Wheezy distro for cubox |
| 21:21 | richardjortega | also for debian is there a place I can install linux-headers from? I saw ArchLinux had decent support in this regard |
| 21:22 | kgp_ | yes |
| 21:22 | kgp_ | you have a post about it. |
| 21:22 | kgp_ | let's me check |
| 21:22 | richardjortega | for Debian? I looked around like crazy |
| 21:22 | richardjortega | trying my damnest to get wifi working in Debian and then will post a guide to this madness |
| 21:23 | kgp_ | do you have this file? |
| 21:23 | kgp_ | /etc/network/interfaces |
| 21:24 | richardjortega | yes |
| 21:24 | richardjortega | what do you have when you type "lsmod"? |
| 21:24 | bencoh | on cubox-i ? |
| 21:24 | richardjortega | yeah |
| 21:24 | richardjortega | right now i'm using the Gunnar Wolf Debian Wheezy distro |
| 21:24 | bencoh | dunno specifically about debian but it shouldnt change anything |
| 21:24 | richardjortega | it's serial only, no desktop or anything |
| 21:25 | bencoh | recent kernel from rabeeh's fsl tree works |
| 21:25 | richardjortega | and that has the wifi kernel module already compiled inside of it? |
| 21:25 | bencoh | or even fsl tree itself, I dont remember |
| 21:26 | kgp_ | for archlinux |
| 21:26 | kgp_ | http://www.solid-run.com/wiki/index.php?title=ArchLinux |
| 21:26 | bencoh | richardjortega: hmm I build my own kernel, so ... |
| 21:27 | richardjortega | yeah, i'm not familiar with that process. i'm like one day away from just doing that |
| 21:27 | richardjortega | i'm having difficulty just finding a solid distro (Specifically Debian, its a work requirement) |
| 21:28 | richardjortega | i'm still trying to get my head around this level of linux, i'm more of an app dev |
| 21:28 | kgp_ | I *think* for debian it was easier. |
| 21:28 | kgp_ | my /etc/network/interfaces |
| 21:30 | richardjortega | i don't show wlan0 anywhere under `ip link show`, `ifconfig`, etc |
| 21:30 | richardjortega | whether it's the onboard Broadcom chipset, or two other wireless USB devices I've purchased that heard work well on RPi (Panda and Edimax) |
| 21:30 | kgp_ | http://tny.cz/d9abaf4d |
| 21:30 | kgp_ | Can you try that? |
| 21:31 | kgp_ | just after allow-hotplug wlan0 |
| 21:31 | kgp_ | including allow-hotplug wlan0 |
| 21:33 | richardjortega | let me check my file |
| 21:33 | richardjortega | i'll make a quick gist, thank you guys for help/insight in this |
| 21:40 | kgp_ | It's working? |
| 21:51 | rabeeh | richardjortega: can you try this image? |
| 21:51 | rabeeh | http://download.solid-run.com/pub/solidrun/cubox-i/Debian/Jessi-repackaged-trial/debian-jessi-4-july-2014.img.xz |
| 21:51 | rabeeh | just uploaded to the download website; still based on LK 3.0.35 but has wifi working (both bcm4329 / bcm4330) and ethernet working from boot |
| 21:52 | rabeeh | accelerated X |
| 21:52 | rabeeh | to get wifi working easiest is 'sudo apt-get install wicd' |
| 21:52 | rabeeh | please give it a try |
| 21:52 | malte_ | :) |
| 21:52 | rabeeh | i'v added tons of modules to it |
| 21:52 | kgp_ | ohhhh :) |
| 21:53 | kgp_ | I missed this image |
| 21:53 | kgp_ | thank you ! |
| 21:53 | rabeeh | it's new |
| 21:53 | rabeeh | i was hoping we can get LK 3.10.x with it; but not yet |
| 21:55 | richardjortega | rabeeh: just finished downloading it, will flash it now |
| 21:55 | rabeeh | ok |
| 21:55 | rabeeh | you will need to manually resize the second partition |
| 21:56 | kgp_ | gparted is cool for that ;) |
| 21:56 | rabeeh | yup |
| 21:56 | rabeeh | the image works on HummingBoard and CuBox-i (all of their versions) |
| 21:57 | kgp_ | I like that ;) before you were having a different image right? |
| 21:57 | rabeeh | yup |
| 21:58 | rabeeh | basically it's all up to u-boot; with it's SPL support different MicroSOM configs are detected |
| 21:58 | sam_nazarko | That's great, is the U-Boot upstream or we must build a specific SolidRun one? |
| 21:58 | rabeeh | with some pull up and pull downs either HummingBoard and CuBox-i carriers is detected |
| 21:58 | rabeeh | SolidRun one; just recently u-boot added SPL to it's i.mx6 support so we can now upstream that support (but we are not there yet) |
| 21:59 | rabeeh | i must say that the differences are not so big; it's only 2-3 files total |
| 21:59 | sam_nazarko | I will take upstream and apply a diff then |
| 22:00 | bencoh | rabeeh: what's 3.10.x status btw ? |
| 22:00 | bencoh | (and why linaro ?) |
| 22:01 | richardjortega | does the Broadcom hardware in the CuBoxi4Pro have AP/infrastructure mode ability? |
| 22:01 | rabeeh | bencoh: LK 3.10.x had issues with memory leaks when using multiple cameras in the vpu side; also memory leaks when it comes to GPU using CMA allocations |
| 22:02 | rabeeh | jnettlet has found tons of issues and will be releasing a new kernel..... soon.... with a slight surprise |
| 22:02 | bencoh | hmm other that this it works well ? |
| 22:02 | sam_nazarko | is that slight surprise upstream support with DT? |
| 22:02 | rabeeh | he has been digging things out even found a serious kernel bug in the vmalloc area |
| 22:02 | bencoh | ouch |
| 22:02 | richardjortega | rabeeh: ip link show now shows the wlan0, setting up /etc/network/interfaces now |
| 22:04 | kgp_ | restoring disk image... Ubuntu is not fun... everything is graphical now :) I was not even forced to find how xz works... |
| 22:05 | rabeeh | bencoh: jnettlet should be announced chief archaeologist from now on; he has been digging all sort of things from the kernel that probably no one has reached :) |
| 22:05 | bencoh | haha |
| 22:06 | bencoh | has he been on a trip to qumran recently or something ? ;p |
| 22:09 | rabeeh | haha |
| 22:13 | rabeeh | richardjortega: the broadcom hardware supports AP mode; but we have never touched that |
| 22:13 | bencoh | adhoc mode works for sure (tested) |
| 22:15 | deniska | I used cubox-i4 as an AP |
| 22:16 | kgp_ | Did you tried the openwrt version? Is it interesting ? |
| 22:16 | kgp_ | copied on my sdcard :) I'll soon know if I love you rabeeh |
| 22:17 | malte_ | u will |
| 22:17 | malte_ | :) |
| 22:19 | KodiakF | What's the fastest / best working 32GB microSD card for the cubox these days? |
| 22:20 | rabee | 22:20 * rabeeh hides |
| 22:20 | KodiakF | I'm looking at the Samsung 32GB Pro SHDC |
| 22:21 | rabeeh | KodiakF: i use SanDisk Extreme Plus on lots of my higher end experiments |
| 22:21 | kgp_ | user / password? |
| 22:21 | rabeeh | on HummingBoard (since it has UHS-1 support) it is recognized with SDR104 speeds |
| 22:21 | malte_ | root cubox-i |
| 22:21 | rabeeh | hmm.... |
| 22:21 | rabeeh | no |
| 22:21 | malte_ | debian cubox-i ? |
| 22:21 | rabeeh | debian/debian |
| 22:21 | malte_ | :) |
| 22:21 | rabeeh | and then sudo whatever you want |
| 22:22 | kgp_ | rabeeh / thepasswordyouuseeverywhere ? :) |
| 22:22 | KodiakF | rabeeh: Thanks - looks comparable in spec to the Samsung |
| 22:22 | rabeeh | kgp_: oh; my mistake - it should be evoli/heebar |
| 22:22 | rabeeh | :) |
| 22:23 | malte_ | debian debain also works on you unionbank.co.il account ;) |
| 22:23 | kgp_ | of where does this 50 mio $us come from?... |
| 22:24 | kgp_ | can I apt-get update your image? |
| 22:24 | rabee | 22:24 * rabeeh flees with the money |
| 22:24 | rabeeh | kgp_: jas-hacks reported that it breaks mesa when updated |
| 22:24 | kgp_ | ok :( |
| 22:24 | rabeeh | it's basically his image; repackaged with kernel 3.0.35 and lots of modules and u-boot SPL |
| 22:25 | rabeeh | kgp_: i know; that's what i was waiting for all the time |
| 22:25 | rabeeh | getting the whole thing in debian packages that can recognize conflicts and pin problematic packages like mesa |
| 22:26 | rabeeh | i bet you can do that right now (i don't know how exactly); but pin the mesa packages |
| 22:26 | rabeeh | and then try apt-get update |
| 22:26 | rabeeh | which reminds me to reply to mk01; he offered debian packages and a debian repo for CBi that we can simply debootstrap from it |
| 22:28 | jas-hacks | rabeeh: you should test my 3.10.17 version my Jessi |
| 22:30 | rabeeh | jas-hacks: what's the difference? besides the kernel? |
| 22:30 | rabeeh | with more recent 'apt-get update'? |
| 22:30 | kgp_ | why do you have no wlan0 in /etc/network/interfaces.d? |
| 22:31 | rabeeh | kgp_: to connect to where? |
| 22:31 | jas-hacks | rabeeh: yes later 'apt-get' + dv_ gstreamer 1.0 plugins |
| 22:32 | rabeeh | http://stende.no-ip.info/jas/debian/jessie-3.10.17_ga.tar.gz |
| 22:32 | rabeeh | or you have a more recent one? |
| 22:33 | jas-hacks | yes, that's the one |
| 22:33 | rabeeh | do you recall which gpu driver version it required? |
| 22:33 | rabeeh | 4.6.9? |
| 22:34 | kgp_ | What is working in your version? apt-get update? wireless? graphical accel ? |
| 22:34 | kgp_ | jas <- |
| 22:34 | bencoh | apt-get is not a real issue once its documented anyway :) |
| 22:35 | kgp_ | source? :) |
| 22:35 | rabeeh | bencoh: are you sure? :) |
| 22:35 | bencoh | pining is not that difficult ;) |
| 22:38 | rabeeh | richardjortega: what's up? working/not working? happy/unhappy? |
| 22:40 | kgp_ | May I suggest that you create a file in /etc/network/interface.d/wlan0 with the following lines? |
| 22:40 | kgp_ | auto wlan0 |
| 22:40 | kgp_ | iface wlan0 inet static |
| 22:40 | kgp_ | address 192.168.1.76 |
| 22:40 | kgp_ | netmask 255.255.255.0 |
| 22:40 | kgp_ | huim sorry |
| 22:40 | rabeeh | ? |
| 22:41 | kgp_ | May I suggest to create this "wlan0" file (if it's a reference version) |
| 22:41 | kgp_ | #auto wlan0 |
| 22:42 | kgp_ | #iface wlan0 inet dhcp |
| 22:42 | kgp_ | #wpa-ssid "xxxxxxxxx* |
| 22:42 | kgp_ | #wpa-psk "xxx* |
| 22:42 | kgp_ | So it's easier to configure access to the network :) |
| 22:45 | rabeeh | if jas-hacks is nice enough; he would add wicd next time :) |
| 22:46 | rabeeh | that way you can run wicd gui/cli or whatever and get wifi configured really easy |
| 22:46 | kgp_ | yes :) |
| 22:47 | kgp_ | It's boring to install it when you don't have a wire around... |
| 22:47 | kgp_ | an ethernet wire |
| 22:54 | tekk | hey guys |
| 22:54 | tekk | once i follow this guide (about to do it) https://wiki.debian.org/ArmHardFloatPort/CuBox-i |
| 22:54 | tekk | what should i expect from the root filesystem? what user / pass should it be |
| 22:54 | kgp_ | :( some recommendation to avoid flying to Isreal... |
| 22:55 | kgp_ | To EU flight companies. It means problems to deliever from Israel to many countries. |
| 22:58 | bencoh | bleh |
| 22:59 | rabeeh | kgp_: don't come here if you were planning :) |
| 22:59 | rabeeh | it's a bit messy around here |
| 23:00 | rabeeh | luckily our office is in the north side |
| 23:00 | bencoh | well, not that much in jer |
| 23:00 | kgp_ | :( time to move to Switzerland... :) |
| 23:02 | tekk | rabeeh, you part of cubox? |
| 23:02 | tekk | what timezone is .IL in? |
| 23:05 | kgp_ | @tekk: rabeeh is the CTO.. the man that made it possible. |
| 23:05 | tekk | ah, nice |
| 23:05 | tekk | i received my cubox i4-pro back in April |
| 23:05 | tekk | after a recommendation from a guy who bought a cubox a long time ago |
| 23:06 | tekk | finally have goten around to setting it all up... currently building a debian image :) |
| 23:06 | tekk | fingers crossed! |
| 23:06 | tekk | if the image comes out nicely, i'll blog on how to make your own and host this one, as one thing i notice as a beginner with a cubox-i... there isn't a lot of info out there |
| 23:07 | bencoh | there is, but it's a bit scattered :) |
| 23:07 | kgp_ | Good support on the irc chat... and you have to use google :) |
| 23:07 | kgp_ | Why not using an existing image? |
| 23:09 | tekk | the existing images i tried didn't have iptables or tun and didn't use SPL u-boot |
| 23:09 | tekk | i tried the debian and ubuntu ones from solid-run |
| 23:09 | tekk | i was advised in here to build my own basically |
| 23:09 | kgp_ | [22:32] http://stende.no-ip.info/jas/debian/jessie-3.10.17_ga.tar.gz |
| 23:09 | kgp_ | may interest you ? |
| 23:09 | tekk | whaaat |
| 23:09 | tekk | i didn't see that |
| 23:10 | tekk | i must have been afk |
| 23:10 | tekk | whats the info on that image/ |
| 23:10 | rabeeh | sorry; back |
| 23:10 | kgp_ | It seams to work a bit better than previous images ... |
| 23:10 | kgp_ | Still checking |
| 23:10 | tekk | does it have tun/iptables kernel modules? |
| 23:11 | deniska | http://bpaste.net/show/SNsPYFIEv22KQwH8iXhG/ |
| 23:11 | rabeeh | just tried jessie-3.10.17_ga; X doesn't come alive |
| 23:12 | tekk | niice |
| 23:12 | tekk | :D |
| 23:12 | deniska | (arch linux...) |
| 23:12 | kgp_ | sorry wrong link |
| 23:12 | rabeeh | deniska: Arch X is not accelerated |
| 23:12 | tekk | deniska, that on the image rabeeh posted and is saying doesn't come alive? |

| 23:12 | deniska | How do you tell if a guy runs arch linux? He'll tell you =) |
| 23:12 | tekk | i should try http://download.solid-run.com/pub/solidrun/cubox-i/Debian/Jessi-repackaged-trial/debian-jessi-4-july-2014.img.xz? |
| 23:12 | deniska | rabeeh: Yeah, that's a drawback |
| 23:12 | tekk | i downloaded a jessi image from there a few days ago, is this one new? |
| 23:13 | rabeeh | tekk: nop; a new one |
| 23:13 | tekk | ah nice |
| 23:13 | deniska | I managed to get EXA driver running though |
| 23:13 | deniska | But still, chromium is slow |
| 23:13 | tekk | rabeeh, also has iptables/tun ? |
| 23:13 | rabeeh | tun yes |
| 23:13 | deniska | Though recent chromium uses opengl so it may be slow no matter what |
| 23:13 | rabeeh | iptables nop |
| 23:14 | tekk | i still have to compile kernel then :S |
| 23:14 | tekk | does it use SPL u-boot now though? as last image didn't iirc |
| 23:14 | rabeeh | tekk: yes |
| 23:14 | rabeeh | sorry for that |
| 23:14 | tekk | great :) |
| 23:14 | tekk | that'll make it easier, i can use one of cbxbiker61 images |
| 23:14 | rabeeh | the main issue that if you enable CONFIG_NETFILTER then even if you don't use iptables it will always hit the performance |
| 23:15 | bencoh | how much ? |
| 23:15 | bencoh | (you can still disable conntrack if that's what bothers you) |
| 23:15 | rabeeh | hmmm.... had that long time ago |
| 23:16 | tekk | i only need iptables for masquerading on openvpn |
| 23:16 | rabeeh | bencoh: regardless; the fact that CONFIG_NETFILTER is built with the kernel then lots of 'if/then/else' goes into the C code itself; that makes tcp/ip performance lower |
| 23:16 | tekk | maybe you know an alternative way? |
| 23:16 | bencoh | we cant have more 600~700mbps on imx anyway |
| 23:16 | bencoh | than* |
| 23:17 | rabeeh | tekk: i can give you instructions how to build your own kernel |
| 23:17 | tekk | that'd be good, i have some vague instructions i found on solid-run, but i wasn't confident from them |
| 23:17 | tekk | thanks |
| 23:17 | rabeeh | tekk: that should be reall simple |
| 23:17 | rabeeh | hold on |
| 23:18 | tekk | once i have the compiled kernel... i was unclear what to do with it (i'm used to grub/lilo on traditional systems).... do i literally symlink it into /boot ? |
| 23:18 | rabeeh | http://www.solid-run.com/wiki/Building_the_kernel_and_u-boot_for_the_CuBox-i_and_the_HummingBoard#Kernel_3.0.35_.28patched_with_BSP_4.1.0_and_CuBox-i_and_HummingBoard_support.29 |
| 23:18 | rabeeh | tekk: build LK 3.0.35 |
| 23:18 | rabeeh | instead of 'make imx6_cubox-i_hummingboard_defconfig'; use the following defconfig - |
| 23:19 | tekk | ok thanks |
| 23:19 | rabeeh | http://download.solid-run.com/pub/solidrun/cubox-i/Debian/Jessi-repackaged-trial/kernel.3.0.35.dot.config |
| 23:19 | rabeeh | i.e. copy kernel.3.0.35.dot.config to your /.config |
| 23:19 | rabeeh | and then make -j8 |
| 23:20 | rabeeh | once you get arch/arm/boot/uImage; then that's the kernel that you want to use - place it on first partition on the micro SD card (by replacing the uImage that you already have) |
| 23:24 | tekk | thanks, i'm gonna give it a try *gulps* |
| 23:24 | tekk | flashing your latest jessi image now btw |
| 23:26 | rabeeh | tekk: i suggest you start with the image as-is |
| 23:26 | rabeeh | then try to get a modified kernel installed |
| 23:27 | tekk | yeah, im day #2 with a cubox. |
| 23:27 | tekk | i am an engineer / linux enthusiast however, so not a complete begineer i hope :) |
| 23:28 | rabeeh | kgp_: maybe a slight fix; 'apt-get update' works without issues |
| 23:28 | rabeeh | apt-get upgrade is what breaks mesa |
| 23:30 | kgp_ | Trying to install gnome... |
| 23:39 | rabeeh | jas-hack: dv_'s gst-1.0 on the newer build works though |
| 23:39 | rabeeh | from the framebuffer |
| 23:39 | rabeeh | oh - jas-hacks left |
| 23:52 | richardjortega | got disconnected... grr.. |
| 23:52 | richardjortega | rabeeh: been workign on cubox platform all last week and all this week for a work project |
| 23:53 | richardjortega | will let you know everything that works/doesn't work on latest debian release |
| 23:53 | richardjortega | i'm also finishing up some tutorials that'll help other people get up and running quickly without searching forums/rpi posts/wiki entries etc regarding setting up Ruby/Rails |
| 23:57 | tekk | mine has rails running on it |
| 23:57 | tekk | i used my own blog post to set it up and the instructions still work :) http://mike.kz/how-to/how-to-setup-ruby-on-rails-on-ubuntu-linux/ |
| 23:58 | tekk | even though its for ubuntu it works for debian too |
