| 06:35 | CovertOps | hello, i just received the hummingboard and installed the latest debian jessie image but now i cannot get the network interface to work |
| 06:35 | CovertOps | the dchp will not get an ip |
| 06:35 | CovertOps | lan or wifi |
| 06:42 | CovertOps | can someone please help me get this set up? |
| 06:47 | CovertOps | hello? |
| 06:58 | CovertOps | rabeeh are you here? |
| 18:28 | R0nd | I think my wi-fi broke |
| 18:28 | R0nd | I started getting packet loss and now it won't connect to the ap |
| 18:32 | rdvn | Have you tried to turn if off and on again? |
| 18:34 | R0nd | haha yeah |
| 18:36 | R0nd | I can still scan for networks, but iwconfig says Access Point: Not-Associated |
| 19:00 | R0nd | hmm, I unplugged the hard drive and it works now :/ |
| 19:26 | R0nd | ok, I'm positive that the esata hard drive breaks wifi |
| 19:27 | R0nd | is it possible that there's not enough power? |
| 19:27 | R0nd | I've got the i2ex, I'm using the adapter that came with cubox and the hdd is powered separately |
| 19:29 | rdvn | It could. I've run into something similar with hummingboard. I've powered it from iphone changer and obviously it wasn't enough with msata ssd plugged in. Everything went to hell after ~100mb write |
| 19:30 | R0nd | my cubox used to sit right next to the router |
| 19:30 | rdvn | No problem with new powersource though |
| 19:30 | R0nd | and now I've moved it across the room |
| 19:33 | jnettlet | rdvn, you generally can't use an iPhone charger. The iphone has a resistor in the cable that tells the charger to go into "fast charge" mode. Without it I think it outputs 850mA's at the most |
| 19:33 | jnettlet | it will run the HB, but if you push it hard it will crash. |
| 19:34 | rdvn | I fugured that one out :) |
| 19:34 | R0nd | oooh, I've got more details on the issue |
| 19:35 | R0nd | the wifi drops only when I'm using both esata and hdmi |
| 19:50 | R0nd | hmm, looks like it won't lose wifi after boot |
| 19:51 | R0nd | I've managed to reboot and wait for it to connect to the ap |
| 19:52 | R0nd | now I'm stress-testing the cpu and everything seems to work fine, so power isn't an issue after boot :/ |
| 19:52 | rdvn | Try doing some i/o, that is more power intensive operation |
| 20:11 | rdvn | ps axf |
| 20:11 | R0nd | I'm getting really poor i/o performance |
| 20:12 | R0nd | 1.7 MB/s on a 5400rpm hdd |
