| 23:59 | cbxbiker61 | i'm converting an amd e-350 system over to an amd 5350, running phoronix benchmarks on the e-350 prior to the swap so i can do a head-to-head |
| 00:00 | cbxbiker61 | what i've read so far indicates it doubles performance at pretty much the same wattage |
| 00:00 | tekk | i've got an e-350 APU system |
| 00:00 | tekk | a zotac |
| 00:00 | tekk | don't really use it anymore |
| 00:00 | tekk | switched to the Gigabyte Brix with a Core i3 ULV |
| 00:01 | cbxbiker61 | i have a zotac with the chipset that came out just after the e-450, it does everything that xbmc can do, pretty much perfectly |
| 00:02 | cbxbiker61 | the 5350 system is just for my dad running popcap games and web-browsing/email |
| 00:03 | tekk | the only limitation i found with my e-350 apu was it had a RAM limitation of 4GB |
| 00:03 | cbxbiker61 | yeah, i think the 5350 can handle 32G, even though 4G is fine for my dad |
| 00:04 | tekk | its a shame i got so far on the cubox but fell at the last hurdle :( its literally hanging on that boot line... gonna have to take a better look tomorrow |
| 19:14 | richardjortega | hello |
| 19:15 | richardjortega | anyone use the Freescale iMX6 SABRE boards/platforms? |
| 19:17 | rabeeh | richardjortega: i did |
| 19:17 | richardjortega | sweet, i'm using it now to do benchmark testing of cubox against it |
| 19:49 | raz0r | hey all can some one help me please iv had a cubox pro for a few days now and cant sort the resolution i have a full HD TV its LG 42ln575v-ze |
| 19:49 | raz0r | i cant quite see the menu for debain jessie |
| 19:50 | raz0r | can anyone here help me out as its driving me nutz |
| 19:51 | rabeeh | cubox pro? |
| 19:53 | raz0r | yes |
| 19:55 | raz0r | cubox-i4pro |
| 19:55 | raz0r | cubox-i4pro |
| 19:56 | raz0r | just cant see the menu proplery in the top right hand corner rabeeh |
| 19:57 | raz0r | any idears ??? |
| 19:57 | rabeeh | overscan? |
| 19:57 | raz0r | what u mean fella |
| 19:59 | rabeeh | could it be that the TV is clipping the 4 corners of your image? |
| 20:00 | raz0r | quite possibly |
| 20:00 | raz0r | how would i sort that |
| 20:00 | raz0r | i was reading about that text file i need to edit |
| 20:00 | rabeeh | typically in your TV menu you should tell it that this is a computer hdmi out and not from a set-top-box |
| 20:01 | raz0r | uEnv.txt |
| 20:01 | rabeeh | nop |
| 20:01 | rabeeh | that won't be helpful |
| 20:02 | raz0r | so your saying its something to do with my TV correct ?? |
| 20:02 | rabeeh | yes |
| 20:02 | raz0r | hmmmm |
| 20:02 | rabeeh | TVs typically do something called overscan |
| 20:02 | raz0r | oh right ok im gonna have a look now ill get back to you |
| 20:03 | rabeeh | just hit the TV menu and start searching |
| 20:03 | rabeeh | if you were using Android then i'm adding right now the overscan counter meausure in CuBox-i |
| 20:04 | rabeeh | i'm adding this support to Android right now; so potentially you can zoom in the picture and even if the TV overscans you can still see the whole picture. |
| 20:04 | raz0r | yea i tried that on my 19 inch samsung and that worked fine |
| 20:05 | raz0r | just wanted Debian as im used to Kali lin ux |
| 20:05 | raz0r | linux * |
| 20:06 | raz0r | how hard would it be to make the distro kali for the cubox-i4pro i see its for the cubox and thought to my self sod it ill get the best one but have ended up shooting my self in the foot !! |
| 20:06 | rabee | 20:06 * rabeeh looks at kali |
| 20:06 | rabeeh | i don't see that it supports ARM at all |
| 20:06 | raz0r | what i intended to do was download debain and just install the tools |
| 20:07 | rabeeh | oh; there is a port |
| 20:07 | raz0r | yea hang on |
| 20:07 | raz0r | yea :) |
| 20:08 | raz0r | http://docs.kali.org/armel-armhf/install-kali-arm-on-a-cubox |
| 20:08 | rabeeh | if you are familiar with the devs at kali then we would be more than happy to send them hardware ! |
| 20:08 | rabeeh | that's the older CuBox |
| 20:08 | rabeeh | not CuBox-i |
| 20:09 | raz0r | yea i didnt notice untill i ordered the better one |
| 20:09 | raz0r | just didnt know if anyone ported it |
| 20:09 | raz0r | but i couldnt find anything |
| 20:14 | raz0r | you a bloody star |
