| 05:06 | iCEBrkr | oh. |
| 05:06 | iCEBrkr | what's this fun about? |
| 05:06 | iCEBrkr | android-4.4.2-1.0.1a-ga-aaf118bb78-gapps.img.xz |
| 05:06 | iCEBrkr | ? |
| 14:04 | ce3c | hey folks o/ |
| 14:04 | ce3 | 14:04 * ce3c just received his cubox-i! |
| 14:04 | ce3c | I'm wondering which OS i should put on it |
| 14:05 | ce3c | I had geexbox, but then figured out that I couldn't compile stuff on the device itself? (or it didn't have any build essentials/neither in the pkg manager) |
| 14:08 | kivutar | ce3c, you need a general purpose distro then, you can go archlinux or debian |
| 14:20 | iCEBrkr | ce3c: Do you really want to be building stuff on the cubox itself? |
| 14:23 | ce3c | kivutar, yes, I'm most familiar with Debian, so that'd be safest :) |
| 14:23 | ce3c | iCEBrkr, not necessarily, but I want to get an emulator working on it |
| 14:24 | ce3c | which, I think, would be harder to get working in an xcompile environment |
| 14:24 | iCEBrkr | Sounds like I'd get things built on a machine that has some horsepower and make an image to push to the cubox |
| 14:24 | iCEBrkr | Ehhh.. Possibly. |
| 14:25 | ce3c | I assume the emulators out there rely a lot on GPU rendering? |
| 14:25 | ce3c | which I also assume would be more difficult to debug if anything is wrong since I'd have to push a new image each time |
| 14:26 | iCEBrkr | That's how I've always built and tested android. :( |
| 14:28 | ce3c | I have this image in my head that compiling on the computer, then pushing back the image to the device, is complicated; although ADB makes it real easy for Android. Is there an alternative for geexbox? |
| 14:46 | jnettlet | you can compile on the computer. I would recommend using an eSATA drive for your source if you have one. SDHC can be a little slow. Definitely doable. I just compiled Xorg on the CBi yesterday |
| 14:46 | jnettlet | It is actually Fedora policy that all packages need to be compiled natively |
| 16:25 | ziga | hey |
| 16:25 | ziga | I guess talking about hummingboard here isn't offtopic ? |
| 17:08 | jnettlet | ziga, not at all. #cubox is a carry over from the original Cubox |
| 17:54 | kivutar | ce3c, I ported RetroArch to cuboxi |
| 17:54 | kivutar | it works well |
| 18:09 | ce3c | neat |
| 18:09 | ce3c | what's your experience with mupen/mednafen psx on cubox-i? |
| 18:10 | ce3c | i'm wondering about the performance |
| 18:12 | ce3c | I'm gonna try RetroArch |
| 18:14 | rabeeh | kivutar: \o/ |
| 18:15 | rabeeh | have image? |
| 18:15 | rabeeh | :) |
| 18:15 | rabeeh | kivutar: have you seen LK 3.14.14? |
| 18:17 | kivutar | rabeeh, I have compiled an image, and some people have been testing it and found some bugs, but I've not been able to try iet yet as the post office is closed today, I will have the devices tomorrow morning |
| 18:17 | kivutar | ce3c, mednafen-psx is working ok, mupen is still slow and need optimisations |
| 18:18 | rabeeh | kivutar: please look at LK 3.14.14; rmk has irqbalanced that will get the interrupts scattered on multiple cpus (will help in the gpu performance) |
| 18:18 | kivutar | here is the image http://sources.lakka.tv/nightly/Lakka-Cuboxi.arm-devel-20140820181615-r19310-gd90b668.img.gz |
| 18:18 | rabee | 18:18 * rabeeh downloads |
| 18:19 | kivutar | ok good for LK 3.14.14 |
| 18:20 | rabeeh | i have too many micro sd cards |
| 18:20 | rabeeh | all black. i need to find a way to write what does each one |
| 18:20 | kivutar | yeah same here, some of them are even not working anymore |
| 18:20 | kivutar | rabeeh, where is this branch please? |
| 18:26 | rabeeh | http://www.solid-run.com/community/topic1525.html |
| 18:26 | kivutar | ok I'm reading the releases notes for 3.14.14 |
| 18:27 | kivutar | ok let me compile an image with this kernel then |
| 18:38 | kivutar | ah I can't wait for tomorrow morning to get the devices :) |
| 18:38 | kivutar | rabeeh, I suppose that DMT modes are not supported? |
| 18:39 | rabeeh | DMT modes? |
| 18:40 | kivutar | computer monitors, opposed to TVs (CEA modes) |
| 18:40 | kivutar | it was the case in freescale kernel at least |
| 18:41 | kivutar | it caused bugs with hdmi to dvi converters |
| 18:48 | rabeeh | ok; will check with jnettlet |
| 18:48 | rabeeh | he had patches to fix those; will check with him if he pushed those |
| 18:53 | kivutar | thanks |
| 20:50 | kgp | rabeeh: Not working tonight? :) |
| 21:42 | jnettlet | kgp, rabeeh is taking the night off. |
