| 09:49 | Z0l | hello |
| 09:50 | rabeeh | hi |
| 09:50 | Z0l | can somebody help with debugging a HDMI issue with Cubox i4pro and a Sony 40W5500? |
| 09:50 | rabeeh | go ahead |
| 09:50 | Z0l | in short, I think the cubox fails to read the EDID and this causes stalls in the kernel |
| 09:51 | Z0l | let me put the error on pastie, 1 sec |
| 09:51 | Z0l | http://pastebin.com/0asdeYHx |
| 09:52 | Z0l | what is also strange, that the error only happens if I switch the TV to the HDMI input the cubox is connected to |
| 09:52 | Z0l | (I tried it with 2 HDMI cables and 2 different ports on the TV) |
| 09:53 | rabeeh | which kernel? |
| 09:53 | rabeeh | which distro? |
| 09:53 | Z0l | sorry, this was geexbox 0802 nightly |
| 09:53 | Z0l | that comes with 3.10.30 I guess, but let me confirm |
| 09:54 | Z0l | I already tried geexbox, openelec and xbian, and both give the same error |
| 09:55 | rabeeh | once you plug in it's panics? |
| 09:55 | Z0l | Linux version 3.10.30 (martin@martin-VirtualBox) (gcc version 4.8.3 20140401 (prerelease) (Linaro GCC 4.8-2014.04) ) #1 SMP Sat Aug 2 20:07:44 EDT 2014 |
| 09:55 | rabeeh | 100% reproducable? |
| 09:55 | Z0l | yes |
| 09:55 | Z0l | actually it's not a panic, just a delay |
| 09:55 | Z0l | so the machine is accessible via telnet/ssh/console |
| 09:56 | Z0l | but I see nothing on the display |
| 09:58 | Z0l | I guess it may have to do something with my TV as well (something like Sony's not passing over a proper EDID when queried), but I don't think the device handles this appropriately |
| 10:00 | rabeeh | even if EDID is not parsed correctly; those distros have default (typically 1080p60) |
| 10:00 | rabeeh | that rcu thing is very familiar |
| 10:01 | Z0l | yes, 1080p60 is the default |
| 10:01 | rabeeh | so it's not about edid parsing |
| 10:01 | rabeeh | want to try another one? |
| 10:01 | rabeeh | LK 3.0.35 |
| 10:02 | rabeeh | just to see if it's kernel related? |
| 10:02 | Z0l | certainly, where can I download it from? |
| 10:03 | rabeeh | http://download.solid-run.com/pub/solidrun/cubox-i/Debian/Jessi-repackaged-trial/debian-jessi-4-july-2014.img.xz |
| 10:03 | Z0l | (in the meantime I started your 07-04 debian image that gives a working xfce at 1080p60 without any errors) |
| 10:03 | Z0l | ah |
| 10:03 | rabeeh | keyboard is UK by default |
| 10:03 | Z0l | :) |
| 10:03 | rabeeh | hehe |
| 10:03 | rabeeh | so it's kernel related |
| 10:04 | Z0l | can I replace e.g. geexbox's kernel with yours? |
| 10:04 | rabeeh | nop |
| 10:04 | rabeeh | jnettlet suggested to disable cpu_idle |
| 10:04 | rabeeh | he thinks the rcu_ oops and panics are related to cpu_idle |
| 10:05 | Z0l | can that be specified using a kernel boot argument or only once it's running? |
| 10:08 | rabeeh | cpuidle.off=1 |
| 10:08 | rabeeh | ? |
| 10:08 | rabeeh | please check; i'm just reading the from the kernel documentation |
| 10:08 | Z0l | let me add that to uEnv.txt and try, 1 sec |
| 10:08 | rabee | 10:08 * rabeeh disappears for 15m |
| 10:08 | rabeeh | please spam my irc window |
| 10:14 | Z0l | please let me know once you're back, unfortunatly the cpuidle.off=1 didn't do the trick |
| 10:16 | Z0l | it did disable cpuidle, but the error is still present |
| 10:32 | rabeeh | back |
| 10:33 | Z0l | in the meantime I also tried geexbox with your kernel, it booted up and didn't give me error messages, but no xbmc either |
| 10:34 | rabeeh | are you able to rebuild a kernel? |
| 10:34 | Z0l | i have a debian running in a vm, but i don't have a working build environment |
| 10:35 | Z0l | if you can point me to some documentation, i think i can do it |
| 11:02 | Z0l | ok, i have set up my build environment |
| 11:03 | Z0l | which kernel should i build? and with what patches/changes? |
| 11:26 | Z0l | gotta go, will come back tomorrow |
| 11:26 | Z0l | bye and thanks for the help |
| 12:13 | joost_dtn | anyone here have any experience connecting an Apple Wireless keyboard via bluetooth to a Cubox-i2Ultra running latest Geexbox distro and the onboard bluetooth? |
| 12:14 | joost_dtn | hcitool scan and bluetoothctl are not finding anything here |
| 12:15 | joost_dtn | tried a bunch of wiki entries/forum suggestions but no dice |
| 12:15 | joost_dtn | so i'm looking for some one that actually has the Cubox-i2ultra (not the i2ex) and an Apple Wireless keyboard to get some pointers |
| 14:20 | kgp | @rabeeh: When do you expect an update of your image? |
| 14:21 | kgp | Already 1month old.... |
| 14:21 | kgp | :) |
| 14:35 | KodiakF | kgp: Came into this late - what image? (just being nosy) |
| 14:36 | rabeeh | kgp: i can share if you promise to assist :) |
| 14:36 | kgp | I would love to... in my limited experience :) |
| 14:37 | rabeeh | kgp: oh; it's not limited :) |
| 14:37 | rabeeh | i already know your capabilities |
| 14:37 | rabeeh | anyhow; i have debian from sources |
| 14:37 | rabeeh | thanks to mk01 debian packages; one script that anyone can add more |
| 14:37 | KodiakF | oh debian |
| 14:37 | rabeeh | shall i start a new github project? |
| 14:38 | rabeeh | KodiakF: yeah |
| 14:38 | rabeeh | potentially same sources can be RPMed |
| 14:38 | rabeeh | i just had java 7 se running on that |
| 14:38 | kgp | It could be a good idea (but I'm not an expert) ? |
| 14:39 | kgp | Did you saw: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk8-arm-downloads-2187472.html |
| 14:39 | rabeeh | it's a 100 lines of bash script that prepares an image |
| 14:39 | rabeeh | yup; click on first link :) |
| 14:39 | kgp | If we can help, finetune the script, I would love to add my small optimizations. |
| 14:40 | rabeeh | kgp: exactly; that's what i need the help of the community with |
| 14:40 | rabeeh | it's using LK 3.10.30 for now but will be moving to LK 3.14 |
| 14:40 | rabeeh | LK 3.14 already supports CBi and HB |
| 14:41 | rabeeh | few tweaks are missing there too; but jnettlet is taking care of |
| 14:41 | rabeeh | (hdmi-audio for instance) |
| 14:41 | rabeeh | but it's a perfect script to start with and then can be expanded to install anything (even with ready to use image for specific use cases) |
| 14:42 | rabeeh | for instance for desktop, thin client, headless etc... |
| 14:42 | kgp | How is your issue with Mesa going? |
| 14:43 | rabeeh | since i'm installing from latest debs; i'm not seeing that yet |
| 14:43 | rabeeh | but mesa will be pinned |
| 14:44 | kgp | I just bought a 128Go mSata drive ... so I have some space to compile things now ;) |
| 14:48 | rabeeh | but first; working with jnettlet / rmk to finalize the kernel |
| 14:53 | kivutar | rabeeh, hello, have you got my mail about RetroArch? |
| 14:53 | rabeeh | kivutar: yeah ! |
| 14:54 | rabeeh | i'll send you an email about that |
| 14:54 | kivutar | ok nice :) |
| 15:58 | Z0l | hello |
| 16:00 | Z0l | i added the details of the hdmi kernel panic into this forum post: http://www.solid-run.com/community/topic1456.html |
| 16:01 | Z0l | in case anybody can help to troubleshoot, please ping me |
| 16:37 | kgp | rabeeh: Where is the git repo? |
| 16:37 | kgp | :) |
| 17:06 | rabeeh | kgp: http://pastebin.com/N1tLe67V |
| 17:06 | rabeeh | preview |
| 17:06 | rabeeh | !! |
| 17:06 | rabeeh | from that point you can 'apt-get install lxde lightdm' |
| 17:07 | cbxbiker61 | hey rabeeh, i just got a notice that the hummingboard was shipped, thanks for that |
| 17:08 | rabeeh | cbxbiker61: np |
| 17:09 | rabeeh | kgp: the script uses xbian repos |
| 17:49 | Z0l | rabeeh: any chance to continue our morning discussion? i rolled about 3 kernels so far with no luck |
| 18:49 | rabeeh | Z0l: here |
| 18:49 | Z0l | evening ;) |
| 18:49 | Z0l | can you shed some light which kernel you want me to compile? |
| 18:50 | rabeeh | if you are using geexbox; then you should be rebuilding geexbox all the way |
| 18:50 | rabeeh | from scratch |
| 18:50 | rabeeh | (for instance) |
| 18:50 | Z0l | i've been trying to do that, but i couldn't find their source |
| 18:50 | Z0l | they point to openbricks |
| 18:51 | Z0l | but I'll look again and maybe ask them on their channel |
| 18:51 | Z0l | I just thought you have a specific kernel in mind that includes HDMI patches |
| 18:52 | rabeeh | oh no |
| 18:52 | rabeeh | i was referring that you need to get a full distro built from scratch |
| 18:52 | rabeeh | and then remove the cpuidle from it (via kernel configuration) |
| 18:53 | Z0l | I can try that, but giving that kernel option worked as well |
| 18:53 | Z0l | I mean I've seen it in the dmesg that cpuidle was turned off |
| 18:53 | Z0l | also, I've made some progress and managed to have some kernel panics |
| 18:54 | Z0l | not just oopses |
| 18:54 | Z0l | you can see them here: http://www.solid-run.com/community/topic1456.html |
| 19:00 | rabeeh | oh; so it's not cpuidle related then |
| 19:00 | Z0l | nope |
| 19:00 | Z0l | i think it's something with the mxc framebuffer driver |
| 19:00 | rabeeh | different TV is ok - right>? |
| 19:00 | Z0l | couldn't check that :( |
| 19:00 | rabeeh | in what means? |
| 19:01 | Z0l | i only have 1 tv |
| 19:02 | Z0l | do you suggest it may be hardware related? I'll see if I can arrange testing at my friend who has a different TV |
| 19:02 | Z0l | to me, it seems like something hangs when trying to read the edid and the connected device information and that's what's causing the error |

| 21:10 | Z0l | bye |
| 21:17 | KodiakF | http://www.anandtech.com/show/7724/it-begins-amd-announces-its-first-arm-based-server-soc-64bit8core-opteron-a1100 |
| 21:17 | KodiakF | Both of those are for rebeeh |
| 21:18 | malte | he is currently away:) |
| 21:18 | KodiakF | for when he comes back :) |
| 21:19 | KodiakF | I have fingers crossed for a future that includes Solid-Run, RedHat Enterprise Linux, and AMD be it on ARM or x86_64, so it's cool to see AMD jumping on board |
| 23:13 | cbxbiker61 | KodiakF, yep, i've been hinting to Rabeeh to go AMD if he can |
| 23:15 | cbxbiker61 | I don't know how they'd do it, but it sure sound like AMD is going to be doing pin-compatible arm and x86 |
| 23:18 | cbxbiker61 | and the good thing is that AMD is back in profitibility with technology that looks good for the future, so I don't think they're going to disappear anytime soon |
| 23:55 | jmontleon | where can i download the source for fsl-gpu-viv-mx6q? or at least get it from solid-run/freescale? |
