02:58 KodiakF Coburn: I did not find it enjoyable w/ Android and went straight to Linux. If you are used to using android in that form factor though, you might really enjoy it because the specs are pretty tops so far as android boxes go.
03:16 maxbasescu hey guys, just got my cubox in the mail today and when I turn it on it says Unknown partition table and tries to boot from net
03:21 maxbasescu I've checked the sd card and it appears to have all its partitions intact, but I don't really know what should be on it anyway
03:25 maxbasescu any ideas?
06:35 cbxbiker61 i got xbmc on cubox-i to decode h264, but it's too slow at 720p, i think i'll drop my video res to 480p and encode with settings that are optimised to minimize cpu usage for decoder
06:35 cbxbiker61 h264/h265
06:36 cbxbiker61 it could maybe be useful for some non-important stuff like animation
06:50 jnettlet cbxbiker61, is it just raw cpu power?
06:50 jnettlet I assume that h265 decoding is NEON optimized
06:51 cbxbiker61 i haven't looked at the h265 code to see if they've added any neon opts yet
06:52 cbxbiker61 but just based on what i did see, i'd say that opencl based decode would work
06:53 cbxbiker61 when someone gets around to doing that
06:55 cbxbiker61 opencl hasn't been used much on arm yet, and it's not a embedded opencl has some restrictions
06:56 cbxbiker61 on one of the freescale forums, it sounded like freescale was interested in improving their opencl support
06:58 jnettlet yes, the current OpenCL implementation is embedded, however Vivante states the GC2000 should support the full profile for OpenCL 1.1
06:58 cbxbiker61 that would be cool, and ease any porting effort
07:04 jnettlet cbxbiker61, I have to test but I think the upcoming v5 vivante drivers may improve OpenCL support
07:13 jnettlet cbxbiker61, which decoder are you using?
07:14 cbxbiker61 i built ffmpeg 2.3.2 and then config'd xbmc 14.x to use external ffmpeg
07:15 cbxbiker61 xbmc-imx is still at 13.x, but it takes 14.x to get h265 support
07:18 jnettlet so any player that uses ffmpeg can be used for testing.
07:20 cbxbiker61 theretically, yes but there's probably a bit of code in the player to say "yes" go ahead and use it
07:25 jnettlet cbxbiker61, have you compared h265 vs daala at all?
07:26 jnettlet we have a core daala developer floating around who is going to RE the OpenCL part of the GC2000 for etnaviv
07:57 cbxbiker61 no, i haven't looked at daala
08:03 jnettlet cbxbiker61, okay just looked at ffmpeg. the hevc stuff has no acceleration for ARM. so far x86 only
11:26 brantje Almost cubox time
12:41 kgp rabeeh... git time?
12:41 kgp :)
12:41 kgp 2-3 days...
15:06 jmontleon jnettlet, im building a 3.14.14 kernel (i think yours under linux4kix account on github) and had to disable wm8962 codec to get it to build; after that it seemed to work; not sure if it's of concern to you
15:12 jnettlet jmontleon, not so much no. I am just focusing on certain hardware right now.
15:12 jmontleon understood
15:13 jnettlet if I don't have the hardware I am not trying to support it.
15:13 jnettlet I will take patches for fixes though
15:13 jmontleon wasn't terribly worried about it myself, just thought I'd mention it
15:18 jnettlet jmontleon, I would recommend sticking to the imx_v7_cbi_hb* defconfigs
15:19 jnettlet base is just board support, and the other includes modules for usb devices and such
18:06 brantje Hi malte_
18:06 malte_ hi
18:06 brantje Was not at home when the deliveryman came :(
18:07 brantje Think it comes tomorrow again
18:07 brantje Otherwise i have it monday
18:07 malte_ np
18:07 malte_ have to go now
18:07 malte_ back on monday
18:07 brantje Ok ok, have a nice weekend
18:07 brantje Enjoy
18:12 malte_ thx
19:22 jmontleon time for some excitement. Wrote: /home/jason/rpmbuild/RPMS/armv7hl/kernel-3.14.14-200.cuboxi_hb.fc20.armv7hl.rpm
19:33 jnettlet jmontleon, tell me how it boots. I know some F20 users that would like to use that.
21:16 Tenkawa greetings all
21:17 Tenkawa can someone remind me what kernel config option might be causing my cubox-i2 to idle at 1 cpu load?
21:20 Tenkawa I seem to recall it might be something very specific
