00:01 malte @matteofb: please have a look at this image: http://www.igorpecovnik.com/2014/08/19/cubox-i-hummingboard-debian-sd-image/
00:03 matteofb thank you malte!
00:10 malte np
03:35 BugeyeD hi all. interested in hummingboard (and others) running openbsd. found http://www.solid-run.com/community/post1215.html#p1215 ... Bluerise - any other place i may find status updates?
04:18 Tempest_nano I have yet to figure out what is wrong with 3.14 hdmi audio on arch. Anyone have any suggestions of where to look?
04:19 Tempest_nano I have *everything* I can think of the same as geexbox uses, but it still fails. I can't for the life of me figure out what could be different.
04:54 Tempest_nano I may have narrowed it down to an EDID problem.
04:54 Tempest_nano I get the following dmesg: mxc_hdmi 20e0000.hdmi_video: No modes read from edid
10:24 Bluerise BugeyeD: You still here?
13:23 Netham45 Is there any place to download images for the original CuBox? The installer has more or less stopped working.
14:49 BugeyeD Bluerise: here now, for a few at leasat
14:49 Bluerise Ah
14:50 BugeyeD just wondering if you've made progress on openbsd/cubox and where you might have documented it
14:50 Bluerise BugeyeD: Most of the work has been done on Bitrig now, but I'm sure that can be backported to OpenBSD (essentially the same OS)
14:51 BugeyeD Bluerise: unfamiliar with bitrig; i remember "something" happening a while back, and assume bitrig is "it"
14:51 Bluerise Yeah, a fork
14:52 BugeyeD i use openbsd daily for a lot of things at a lot of different companies, but as it mostly "just works" i am not in forums or mailing lists much
14:52 Bluerise Ah, I see.
14:53 BugeyeD have you been successful with the hummingboard?
14:53 Bluerise Unfortunately ARM on OpenBSD is not part of the "just works" area :/ I have made lots of progress the last few months, but it's not as good as Linux.
14:53 Bluerise I have an early hummingboard, i.MX6 solo
14:54 Bluerise network, usb, sata should work fine. I'm debugging MMC/SDHC atm..
14:54 Bluerise no video, no SMP (yet)
14:55 CurlyMo anyone here who understands settings memory registers?
14:56 BugeyeD Bluerise: cool, thanks for the information. is this documented anywhere that a non-developer would understand?
14:57 Bluerise BugeyeD: About what is supported and what not?
14:57 Bluerise BugeyeD: or how to install/try it?
14:58 BugeyeD Bluerise: specifically the porting to hummingboard/cubox/arm, but anything will be helpful
14:58 Bluerise I should make a wiki entry about what is supported and what not...
14:58 Bluerise ah
14:58 Bluerise Not really, but if you tell me what would be interesting for you, I can try to document it
14:58 Bluerise I currently have snapshots here -> https://www.blueri.se/bitrig/armv7/20140830/
14:59 Bluerise one can basically "dd" the miniroot to a sd and have the cubox boot it to the installer...
14:59 Bluerise there's still an issue with the sd/mmc card controller driver, but I'm on it
15:05 BugeyeD Bluerise: excellent, i'll plan to look at that image this week. i love the rpi due to size/price/popularity (meaning available extras).
15:06 BugeyeD Bluerise: it will of course never run openbsd, so i'm excited about the prospect of the hummingboard due to using a cpu which is somewhat supported.
15:07 BugeyeD i'm a minimalist at heart, using beaglebone and alix and smallish atom boxes everywhere possible so this fits.
15:07 BugeyeD i no longer enjoy linux as much as i used to - way too much of a moving target and no longer as stable as it seemed to be. so i use openbsd
15:08 BugeyeD everywhere possible
15:09 BugeyeD most uses of openbsd center around pf, routing, ipsec/isakmpd, dns (djbdns) and dhcp. network services and security.
15:10 BugeyeD my *one* job for linux, outside oracle databases, is asterisk - and i'm using raspbx on a rpi.
15:11 Bluerise Heh
15:12 Bugeye 15:12 * BugeyeD afk for a while
15:13 BugeyeD so as for documentation, how to get to a point where i could bring up any of the above would be great
15:54 michiwend jnettlet: just tried latest geexbox image... video playback is better but i still get framedrops. On the cubox-i website it reads "... becomes a cutting edge 1080p hd sytem" thats not true, sadly
15:54 jnettlet michiwend, what content are you playing back?
15:55 michiwend jnettlet: different 1080p HD content Oo... some movies with >1000kb bitrate, some tv shows with ~100kb... allways the same behaiviour
15:55 jnettlet I am playing back 40Mbps h264 over the network right now on the single core model
15:56 jnettlet and it is just h264?
15:56 michiwend jnettlet: jap
15:57 michiwend maybe i?m too sensitive... but i can?t use my cubox-i for over half a year now
15:59 jnettlet well you will need to post the logs to get any more help.
15:59 michiwend jnettlet: k
16:00 jnettlet are the frame drops being registered when you hit 'o' and display the statistics?
16:23 kivutar jnettlet, is there a way to make u-boot less verbose?
16:32 jnettlet kivutar, yeah don't use it :-) I have it verbose because ultimately I want to better support direct boot.
16:33 kivutar jnettlet, direct boot? nice :) how to achieve it?
16:34 kivutar I suppose I have to set the cmdline in the kernel config
16:34 jnettlet actually I haven't added kernel support yet. just u-boot. You can use the devmem or devmem2 tool to test it.
16:35 jnettlet are you using the 3.14.14 kernel? I added some default kernel options to the dts files that are needed
16:37 kivutar i'm switching to 3.14.14 yeah, but I still get some issues with it
19:33 Raz0r someone please help i got this error
19:33 Raz0r console [tty0] enabled, bootconsole disabled
19:33 Raz0r and now my cubox-i wont boot what do i do
