01:27 c3c kivutar, do you have a precompiled version of RetroArch?
01:28 c3c I have just finished fetching all necessary git repositories using libretro-super
01:28 c3c but seems like my flash space is full now :)
01:29 c3c I'll have to go out and buy a 16GB one tomorrow
01:29 c3c nonetheless, considering the size of RetroArch, and the speed it would compile with, I really hope you have a precompiled version for cuboxi
06:23 cbxbiker61 jnettlet, the 3.14.14 kernel is looking pretty good, one issue for me currently is that sound going through hdmi just creates a buzz
06:29 jnettlet cbxbiker61, using pulseaudio?
06:30 cbxbiker61 no, using xbmc built with straight alsa support
06:30 cbxbiker61 it just starts continuously buzzing
06:32 jnettlet cbxbiker61, okay that is a new one. Do you have the sound card profiles installed?
06:32 cbxbiker61 yep
06:32 jnettlet can you turn on debugging and post a log for me?
06:33 cbxbiker61 ok, i'll do that tomorrow
06:34 jnettlet is this using passthrough or is the audio being decoded on the CBi and sent over PCM?
06:34 cbxbiker61 it's not passthrough
06:34 jnettlet I know I was getting static in passthrough mode before installing the card profiles.
06:34 jnettlet okay
06:40 jnettlet cbxbiker61, okay are you just doing 2-channel? Re-tested here and everything is playing back okay in that configuration.
06:40 jnettlet so debug logs will definitely be needed.
06:42 cbxbiker61 yeah xbmc was set to two channel, when i test it...i'll go ahead and stop xbmc and just do some aplay tests first
06:44 jnettlet thanks, I am interested to know what is going on.
10:16 rdvn ** File not found /imx6q-hummingboard.dtb **
10:16 rdvn Where can I find imx6q-hummingboard.dtb?
10:19 rabeeh rdvn: which kernel?
10:19 rabeeh LK 3.14.14 only support imx6q-hummingboard.dtb
10:21 rdvn Now trying 3.15.5-202 from http://people.redhat.com/jmontleo/cubox-i4pro/rpms/stable/armhfp/
10:21 rdvn But this is uboot complaining, not kernel.
10:28 jnettlet rdvn, that is fine. u-boot does a loop of a few directories looking for dtbs to load. that means it didn't find it in / of the first partition of the sdhc
10:28 jnettlet you probably have them in /boot
10:29 jnettlet notice it doesn't say Error, just file not found
10:31 rdvn No, I dont :)
10:32 rdvn I have imx6dl-hummingboard.dtb. But no imx6q-hummingboard.dtb.
10:33 rdvn I've just created symlink from imx6q-cubox-i.dtb to imx6q-hummingboard.dtb and board booted fine.
10:35 jnettlet it will boot fine but a lot of things won't work
10:35 jnettlet how did you build this kernel?
10:36 rdvn I didn't. It's a package from http://people.redhat.com/jmontleo/cubox-i4pro/rpms/stable/armhfp/
10:36 jnettlet not having an imx6q-hummingboard.dtb indicates you are using an unpatched upstream or very old kernel
10:36 jnettlet jmontleon, ping^^^
10:36 jnettlet rdvn, he probably didn't update his rpm script to package the new dtb yet.
10:38 rdvn I'm seeing things not working right now :)
10:46 jnettlet which is to be expected. a device tree file tells Linux how the hardware is setup.
10:49 rdvn But at least it booted. I've struggled for a few days to get it working. (I got uart cable today)
10:57 rdvn imx6q-hummingboard.dtb is also missing in kernel-3.16.1-200.cuboxi_hb.fc20.armv7hl
13:16 kivutar rabeeh, I got the devices
13:16 kivutar pcsx_rearmed is running smoothly on the i2ex
13:17 kivutar my monitor reolution was detected even with hdmi2dvi adapter, very nice
13:25 rdvn jnettlet: Just checked kernel, dtb is also missing in source.
13:25 rdvn jnettlet: https://github.com/jmontleon/fedora-20-cubox-i_hb/tree/master/arch/arm/boot/dts
13:30 jnettlet rdvn, please report to the maintainer of that package. The current official source does have the dts. https://github.com/linux4kix/linux-linaro-stable-mx6/blob/linux-linaro-lsk-v3.14-mx6/arch/arm/boot/dts/imx6q-hummingboard.dts
14:34 jmontleon jnettlet, rdvn ya the 3.14.14 and 3.17-rc1 I have up (test/mainline) have the imx6q-hummingboard dtb
14:34 jmontleon 3.15 and 3.16 didn't/don't appear to have it
14:35 jmontleo 14:35 * jmontleon is going to put 3.14.14 on the image once the etnaviv stuff is far enough to start up
14:35 jmontleon and then people can choose to use 3.16 or 3.17
14:38 jmontleon http://www.solid-run.com/community/topic363-150.html#p11418
15:42 kivutar rabeeh, I found out that CONFIG_SND_SOC_IMX_SGTL5000 and CONFIG_SND_SOC_SGTL5000 were built as modules.. I compiled them directly in the kernel
15:42 kivutar but sgtl5000-audio is still not showing in /proc/asound
15:43 kivutar did I miss something else important?
16:01 jmontleon jnettlet, some good news re: PA. I was able to get sounds using tsched=0 on the headphone jack
16:02 jmontleon still nothing on HDMI though
16:02 jmontleon acts like it's playing
16:02 jmontleon oh, actually... let me try something else
16:06 jmontleon hmmm, still dodgy on 3.14.14, get some sound, but it still hangs. 3.17 is working with tsched=0 over headphone jack
16:27 rabeeh sgtl5k under LK 3.14.x still buggy
16:27 rabeeh sgtl5k codec works only with LK 3.0.35
16:28 rabee 16:28 * rabeeh is debugging it
16:31 bencoh hm ... is it possible to decode several (h264 SD) streams on the iMX6 ?
16:31 bencoh I mean, using the vpu
16:32 rabeeh bencoh: yes
16:32 rabeeh using gst-1.0 with eglvivsink you can do compositing too
16:34 bencoh actually I have my own pipeline framework so I dont really want to go through gst ;) ... but great, thx :)
16:35 jnettlet jmontleon, oh great. On the HB pro?
16:35 jmontleon yes
16:37 jmontleon jnettlet, getting better results with 3.17, but on 3.14.14 I can get some sound before it locks up with tsched=0; progress, I suppose
16:37 jmontleo 16:37 * jmontleon will poke at it more later and see if he can get 14.14 to do something more
16:38 jmontleo 16:38 * jmontleon guesses maybe he should wait for rabeeh's updates
16:40 jnettlet jmontleon, well I think rmk has a couple of patches I need to bring in
16:42 jmontleon i still don't understand not getting sound under HDMI. I have the same problem on the cubox-i. It acts like it plays, but I get nothing. Don't know if it's because of the 'analog output' and it expects digital (though rmk's dw-audio conf file doesnt' seem to make a bit of difference despite adding digital output as an option)
16:43 jmontleon don't know if it's because im using fbdev /me guesses maybe need a better video driver or something
16:45 jnettlet jmontleon, oh my kernel is not setup to use dw-audio and kms
16:45 jnettlet it is setup for the FSL drivers.
16:45 jmontleon ya, I mean on any kernel up to this point though
16:46 jmontleon 3.14.14 official, 3.14.x, 3.15.x, 3.16.x, 3.17-rc1, no sound over hdmi
16:47 jnettlet using pulse-audio. I know that rmk has had it working
16:47 jnettlet I definitely know my kernel without pulseaudio works
17:22 hste__ jmontleon: have u looked at [meta-freescale] [meta-fsl-arm][PATCH] pulseaudio: Fix mutext issue when do pause in gstreamer
17:22 jmontleon hste__, I haven't - where do I find that?
17:24 hste__ in the the mailing list: here is the post http://pastebin.com/xzjHhAJm
17:30 rabeeh jmontleon: what do you get when trying to play through the analog audio?
17:30 rabeeh i'm getting input/output error here !
17:31 rabeeh that's buildroot based and running on alsa directly (via 'aplay')
17:41 jmontleon rabeeh, what are you trying to play to, hdmi? i can try
18:11 rabeeh jmontleon: no; through the audio codec
18:11 rabeeh (sgtl5k)
20:01 TrojanHors 20:01 * TrojanHorse ping malte
20:02 malte ping
22:03 kgp Commit or not commit... that's the question Rabeeh :)
22:04 malte rabeeh is not here
22:04 malte its weekend in israel now
22:44 kgp A week-end is some free time to really work in a startup no :)
23:08 bencoh right :)
23:09 chris___ hey all
23:10 chris___ anyone around to give me some cubox advice
23:11 cbxbiker61 whats the question
23:12 chris___ I was trying to install Ubuntu 14.10 on a first gen cubox, from the forum but don't get any SSH connection
23:13 chris___ I can't serial into it from a mac for some reason
23:14 cbxbiker61 is it logging to the screen?
23:14 chris___ in SSH?
23:14 chris___ no connection timeout
23:14 chris___ can't ping it either
23:14 cbxbiker61 you dont have a monitor attached?
23:14 chris___ no
23:15 chris___ I tried just then but my working 12.10 version doesn't have a monitor feedback either
23:15 chris___ I thought it should do
23:15 chris___ even headless
23:16 chris___ it's seems something has gone screwy with my 12.10 install, maybe it would be better to fix that? I don't really need 14, just need mono 3.2
23:16 chris___ and can't install it through apt-get atm
23:17 cbxbiker61 /boot/boot.scr tells the system where to log boot messages, you have to start with a .cmd and usage mkimage to turn that into the .scr file
23:18 chris___ god I remember something like that
23:18 chris___ sorry
23:19 chris___ I'm on a mac here without ubuntu on it anymore
23:19 chris___ is there a wiki link about that?
23:20 cbxbiker61 i imagine, google boot.scr mkimage
23:21 chris___ I've installed it from this image
23:21 chris___ http://www.solid-run.com/community/topic769-100.html#p11409
23:21 chris___ I'm presuming that's all done
23:22 cbxbiker61 i'm not an ubuntu guy, can't help you any further
23:23 chris___ ok thank you
23:23 chris___ it was kind of you to offer help
23:25 chris___ Does anyone know how to fix this problem in Ubuntu 12.10
23:25 chris___ Failed to fetch http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports/dists/quantal-updates/multiverse/binary-armhf/Packages
23:27 lubiana u
23:27 lubiana uhm
23:28 lubiana maybe ubuntu 12.10 is end of life
23:28 lubiana uh dunno
23:28 lubiana http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports/dists/
23:28 lubiana no ore quantal here
23:29 lubiana :(
23:29 lubiana so i guess you will not be able to download packages or updates for that ubuntu version anymore
23:30 chris___ yeah it's gone, so cubox won't let me update to a later version either will it?
23:31 chris___ isn't ubuntu 12.10 the default cubox version?
23:32 lubiana well, that is quite some time ago
23:32 lubiana you should try the debian image
23:33 lubiana it works in my good old firstgen cubox
23:33 lubiana i run a headless version though
23:33 chris___ isn't debian behind ubuntu?
23:33 chris___ yeah I'm running headless
23:33 chris___ do you know if you can install mono 3.2 on it?
23:34 chris___ guess the problem is there's just no packages for 12 anymore so I can't do it
23:34 lubiana chris___: you can do a lot of things with debian. you can even update do newer versions
23:34 chris___ boom, ok cool
23:34 lubiana you can run debian stable and install packages from the testing and unstable repositories
23:34 chris___ all I need is MYSQL, PYTHON, NGINX and MONO
23:35 chris___ I got a seperate sd card to do some tests so can do it without destroying my old setup
23:35 chris___ I might try that thanks
23:35 lubiana https://wiki.debian.org/AptPreferences
23:35 lubiana here some information about apt-pinning
23:35 lubiana it helps me to keep away from a lot of stress
23:36 chris___ ok cheers
23:37 chris___ any differences I'll see in shell?
23:38 lubiana depends on the shell you are using
23:38 lubiana iirc in vanilla debian you will not have shell completition installed
23:38 chris___ doh, that's madness!
23:38 lubiana so you will have to take some minutes to google around and set that up
23:39 chris___ you mean predictive tab yeah?
23:39 lubiana you will have completition for paths and files and stuff
23:39 lubiana but not for apt-get and some other special programms
23:39 chris___ ok
23:40 chris___ last question
23:40 chris___ if I nick this one from july
23:40 chris___ http://download.solid-run.com/pub/solidrun/cubox-i/Debian/Jessi-repackaged-trial/
23:41 chris___ bang it onto the sd card, connect it all up, I should be able to ssh straight in?
23:42 chris___ or do you still have to do that boot bit?
23:43 chris___ boot.scr
23:49 lubiana ummm
23:49 lubiana let me take a look
23:49 lubiana ehm, that is for the cubox-i if i am not wrong
23:50 lubiana not sure if i can help you about that
23:51 lubiana http://www.solid-run.com/archive/mw/Debian_armhf_server thats the one i used
