07:27 jnettlet Did a faux brushed aluminum finish to one of my cubox-i's. https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-9HDrWxSKMq8/U_GNI5kVIlI/AAAAAAAAHjY/N8_KQdm0stg/w1097-h823-no/IMG_20140818_072023.jpg
07:27 jnettlet different light. https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-TtfAA6R5XHs/U_GM8JRwUBI/AAAAAAAAHjg/2tRbbzX6t-4/w1097-h823-no/IMG_20140818_071934.jpg
07:28 jnettlet any other case mods?
09:09 rabeeh jnettlet: i think the plastic 3d design will be helpful; i will post it somewhere
09:10 jnettlet rabeeh, absolutely
11:47 rabeeh http://www.solid-run.com/community/topic1525.html
11:47 rabeeh first step into a newer kernel. kernel 3.14.x
11:50 rabeeh lots of work has been invested in this kernel; from it's raw material point of view it should be better than fsl kernel (CMA for instance)
11:51 rabeeh we are taking some sort of risk here; since previously we completely relied on fsl kernel; and now we are setting ourselves apart for a newer and more modern kernel; but with that comes the risk that less people uses this kernel (and not everyone that uses i.mx6)
11:52 rabeeh regardless the potential is huge; and it already outperforms LK 3.10.x; for instance jnettlet was able to play 80Mbps h.264 content on HummingBoard-i1
11:52 rabeeh the wifi has lots of backports from mainline and brcm80211 driver tree
11:53 rabeeh what we are asking is as written in the forums; please embrace this kernel, test, patch, fix and lets join forces to support a single kernel for CuBox-i and HummingBoard (and everyone else wishing to use it for other i.mx6 projects)
11:55 bencoh yay :)
11:56 rabeeh oh; one other note
11:56 kgp_ :)
11:56 rabeeh besides LK 3.0.35; LK 3.14.x already supports HummingBoard in all it's versions
11:56 bencoh I'm still wondering about something ... why a linaro kernel ?
11:57 rabeeh linaro kernel has some optimizations beyond the LTS
11:57 rabeeh that's the first thing; second is that it provides a better option to use the android branch of that kernel into android support
11:58 bencoh oh, okay
11:58 rabeeh as i recall CONFIG_NEON is one of them
11:58 rabeeh sorry CONFIG_KERNEL_MODE_NEON
11:59 brantje rabeeh, should i use that kernel when my i4pro arrives?
11:59 rabeeh brantje: yes
12:00 rabeeh i'm working with mk01 to get the xbian deb packages updated
12:00 bencoh regarding the yocto tests you did, I guess meta-fsl-extra will still point to fsl kernel, so you .bbappended and/or changed some of your local rules ?
12:01 bencoh (I doubt meta-fsl-extra would point to a linaro kernel instead of the fsl one)
12:01 brantje rabeeh good, i love xbian =)
12:01 brantje Hope you can release an updated version soon
12:02 rabeeh dv__ is working on updating meta-fsl-extra to reflect LK 3.14.x
12:03 rabeeh for now he will be pointing to linux4kix tree; once more tested and devs/testers feels more comfortable we will fork to github.com/SolidRun
12:08 brantje rabeeh, i have an LCD touchscreen (vendor: eGalax). You think i can get it to work with xbian? I have it used before on the raspberry pi.
12:08 brantje But the systems are different, so just wondering.
12:08 rabeeh have a link?
12:09 rabeeh there was some youtube link about using an hdmi based touchscreen lcd.
12:12 brantje yea sec.
12:12 brantje http://forum.xbian.org/thread-832.html
12:12 brantje Heeya mk01
12:13 brantje Long time no see
15:09 mk01 brantje: guten morgen
15:09 brantje Ello
15:09 brantje How are you?
15:15 mk01 brantje: where have you been last 6 months ? :)
15:16 brantje Busy with some projects, personal life
15:16 brantje But now time to get back to the good habbits
15:16 brantje Programming, xbian, and such
15:17 brantje An you?
19:04 brantje mk01, last xbian version is from 26-05-2014?
19:05 mk01 what do you mean ? last image when was generated ?
19:06 brantje yea
19:17 mk01 brantje: looking on your web -> http://xbian.brantje.com/images/ for RPI it was July 25th
19:17 brantje for cubox also?
19:17 brantje 18-Aug-2014 03:37
19:17 brantje O_o
19:17 brantje big diff from what site xbian site says
19:20 mk01 brantje: no idea
21:34 rdvn Hi. I can't get fedora working on hummingboard. I've tried with ush enabled microsd, also with normal one, but all I'm getting is black screen
21:35 rdvn (display goes to sleep mode, no dhcp request on network)
21:36 rdvn I'm just looking into uart, but if you have any general guidance how to get things up and running I'd be glad :)
23:13 cuboxman hello everyone
23:24 malte hello
23:25 cuboxman anyone have a working image of ubuntu 13.04?
23:55 jmontleon mmmm msata :)
