| 01:22 | cbxbiker61 | i was just doing some comparisons on the cubox-i4, CONFIG_VMSPLIT_2G wastes 130M compared to CONFIG_VMSPLIT_1G, I wonder why the SPLIT is set at 2G in the imx defconfig |
| 01:22 | cbxbiker61 | 1 G per process should be enough for any program that will run on a cubox-i |
| 08:55 | earth | 08:55 * earthy sees cbxbiker61 channeling Bill Gates |
| 15:43 | wrexem | so uhhh yeah |
| 15:43 | wrexem | compiling gstreamer_imx is... not fun |
| 15:44 | wrexem | Apparently I'm missing like... everything I would need to get it working. |
| 15:51 | rabeeh | wrexem: have you seen the pcie patches? |
| 15:51 | rabeeh | i mean the latest pull request from jnettlet? |
| 15:54 | wrexem | Yeah I somehow screwed up my git so I'm rebuilding as we speak |
| 15:54 | FoXMaN | rabeeh: do you know what is the issue with sgtl5k on 3.14? maybe i'll try to fix it? |
| 15:54 | wrexem | Apparently those have been merged actually? |
| 15:54 | wrexem | So I'm re-cloning/making |
| 16:27 | wrexem | hmmmm |
| 16:27 | wrexem | Maybe I'm confused rabeeh |
| 16:29 | wrexem | Ah, I see, I think |
| 16:30 | wrexem | line 162, arch/arm/boot/dts/imx6qdl.dtsi |
| 16:30 | wrexem | Why is that "disabled"? |
| 16:31 | wrexem | @rabeeh |
| 16:33 | wrexem | Changing it to "okay" makes my bridge show up, but still I don't see my card |
| 16:34 | wrexem | steps in the right direction. It may indeed BE the card that is the problem. |
| 16:34 | wrexem | But idk. |
| 16:50 | wrexem | I ordered another one to test with |
| 16:50 | wrexem | it will show up... someday |
| 17:31 | m_anish | jmontleon, jnettlet Hi. I'm trying to get jmontleon 's f20 image up on a hb+i4pro microsom. but it does not boot out of the box... i briefly see a message of "cannot find boot.scr" before the screen goes blank. any ideas? |
| 17:32 | m_anish | i just received the hb+i4 board recently in mail and haven't tinkered with any hardware ... just copied the image in a 32G card with the usual instructions and cant get it to boot |
| 17:32 | m_anish | any pointers would be helpful :) |
| 17:34 | jmontleon | hi m_anish jnettlet won't want to help with my images ;) |
| 17:34 | m_anish | :) |
| 17:34 | jmontleon | what model m_anish and what image? |
| 17:34 | m_anish | okay so.. the image is ... "Fedora-Minimal-armhfp-cubox-i_hb-20-1-sda.raw.xz" |
| 17:35 | m_anish | and the model is ... HummingBoard Carrier Pro + MicroSOM-i4Pro |
| 17:37 | m_anish | jmontleon, should I try your earlier "Fedora-Minimal-armhfp-cubox-i4pro-20-1-sda.raw.xz" image? |
| 17:37 | m_anish | i have that lying with me too |
| 17:41 | m_anish | jmontleon, ^^ (also, fwiw, that same image works on a hb prototype i got a few months ago with 512M ram) |
| 17:42 | Chris-ECServices | just to check the hardware, have you tried a oe image or something? already seen dead cuboxes wich only show boot and then nothing |
| 17:43 | m_anish | Chris-ECServices, will check.. what do you mean by oe? |
| 17:43 | m_anish | i have a debian and an ubuntu image with me |
| 17:44 | Chris-ECServices | openelec :) but you can also try the debian or ubuntu |
| 17:44 | Chris-ECServices | just an image to check if it shows something :) |
| 17:44 | jmontleon | m_anish, this was the link? |
| 17:44 | m_anish | Chris-ECServices, :) |
| 17:45 | m_anish | jmontleon, one sec.. i had downloaded it a while ago... |
| 17:45 | m_anish | the md5sum is fc5bb8e2ea7449b5b3a7001a1707477f |
| 17:45 | m_anish | i dont have the link but ^^ is the md5sum |
| 17:46 | jmontleon | m_anish, if it is fairly old you'll want to redownload; give me a minute, I'll check the sum |
| 17:46 | m_anish | ok |
| 17:46 | jmontleon | there was no imx6q-hummingboard.dtb in 3.15 and 3.16 |
| 17:46 | jmontleon | 3.14.14 and 3.17-rcX have it though |
| 17:46 | m_anish | yeah i read it somewhere in the forums |
| 17:47 | m_anish | that's probably the issue then! |
| 17:47 | jmontleon | probably why it's not booting; you might be able to cheat and link/copy imx6dl-hummingboard.dtb |
| 17:47 | m_anish | i see a couple of images 3.15.4 3.15.5 |
| 17:48 | m_anish | jmontleon, if you have a more recent image, i'll prefer downloading that :P |
| 17:48 | m_anish | jmontleon, but that hack would also be useful |
| 17:48 | jmontleon | ya, just wget https://googledrive.com/host/0B0vm64JM4bFZMjFNTGJBT1ozWjg -O Fedora-Minimal-armhfp-cubox-i_hb-20-1-sda.raw.xz |
| 17:48 | m_anish | since I have some backed up card images with lots of cool s/w on it :) |
| 17:49 | jmontleon | it will start you with 3.14.14 and if you want you can use 3.17; i would advise against 3.16 with quad hummingboard |
| 17:49 | m_anish | ok |
| 17:50 | m_anish | jmontleon, okay it's downloading.. now i'll try the hack on the side... if you can show me how.. it will save me a few hrs worth of installing/configuring :) |
| 17:50 | jmontleon | new sum is 69721b5b80d457765578aed6820586f8 |
| 17:50 | m_anish | thx |
| 17:51 | jnettlet | m_anish, hey man. you will want a 3.14.14 image for testing |
| 17:51 | m_anish | jnettlet, hi! okay.. been chatting with jmontleon just abt that! |
| 17:52 | jnettlet | m_anish, yeah saw the backlog |
| 17:52 | jmontleon | create a link in /boot on your sdcard partition 1) copy imx6dl-hummingboard.dtb to imx6q-hummingboard.dtb |
| 17:52 | jmontleon | and it will supposedly boot; so I've been told; that will get it working if your download will take awhile |
| 17:53 | m_anish | jmontleon, okay i'll try on the side.. download will take approx 3 min |
| 17:58 | m_anish | jmontleon, i don't think it worked... anyway.. flashing the new image |
| 17:58 | Z0l | hello |
| 17:59 | jnettlet | jmontleon, if you are bored, you could build images with the latest kernel changes. It includes pcie supoprt for the HB. |
| 17:59 | Z0l | jnettlet: can I +1 a pull request for the 3.14 kernel? https://github.com/linux4kix/linux-linaro-stable-mx6/pull/15 solves all problems with the crappy Sony Bravias |
| 18:02 | m_anish | jnettlet, jmontleon on a separate note... have you heard anyone yelling lately that nodejs doesn't compile on this board? ;-) |
| 18:02 | jnettlet | Z0l, you can but I am not pulling it in its current state. The patch needs to be broken into smaller patches and documented. |
| 18:02 | jnettlet | m_anish, I run node.js on it, although I cross compile it |
| 18:03 | m_anish | i'm using a nodejs built for a rpi for what i'm doing and it's working.. but nodejs doesn't natively compile (with ssl support, without it, it compiles ok) |
| 18:03 | m_anish | jnettlet, okay.. do you have a suitable version lying around then? |
| 18:03 | Z0l | jnettlet: fair enough, I'll see if I can help Rudi |
| 18:03 | jnettlet | m_anish, not in rpm format. I run it on an openbricks custom distro. |
| 18:03 | jnettlet | Z0l, thanks |
| 18:04 | m_anish | jnettlet, okay.. i am doing it in a python virtualenv (also not rpm ;-) ) |
| 18:05 | m_anish | jnettlet, jmontleon great! it worked.. now i'll waste all night playing with it.. thank you! |
| 18:05 | jnettlet | let me grab one of jmontleon's images and see what I can do. |
| 18:06 | jnettlet | m_anish, nodejs should already be packaged for f20 |
| 18:06 | jnettlet | you should be able to yum install it |
| 18:06 | m_anish | jnettlet, yeah i'll do that.. was absentmindedly following "install instructions" |
| 18:07 | jnettlet | :) |
| 18:12 | Z0l | jnettlet: amm, did you think about the CEC patch or the HDMI range limit patch when you wrote it should be split into smaller patches? |
| 18:13 | Z0l | because the HDMI range limit patch I mentioned is only 25 lines |
| 18:13 | jnettlet | Z0l, oh I thought you were talking about the CEC patch. |
| 18:13 | Z0l | nope :) |
| 18:13 | jnettlet | I have to look at the range limit patch still. |
| 18:13 | Z0l | cec works for me, it's the range limit that concerns me |
| 18:15 | jnettlet | Z0l, I am going to review patch requests again tomorrow. Patch Tuesday you know :-) |
| 18:16 | Z0l | jnettlet, as long as you don't do it on a monthly basis, I have no issues :) |
| 18:17 | jnettlet | Z0l, I am trying to do it on Tues and Fri |
| 18:18 | Z0l | jnettlet: sure thing. You have my vote for the HDMI range limit patch, I hope it won't interfere with the "normal" TVs |
| 18:19 | Z0l | actually I started to like my cubox after the 3.14 kernel fixed the kernel oopses during bootup and the range limit fix corrected the colors |
| 18:19 | Z0l | so the raspberry has been put into the drawer now ;) |
| 18:22 | m_anish | jnettlet, so apparently the wlan device does support AP mode acc to "iw list" gonna give hostapd a try |
| 18:22 | jnettlet | m_anish, yes it is working better now. I was able to connect with encryption enabled vs before it only worked unauthenticated |
| 18:22 | m_anish | but i should first run a yum update |
| 18:23 | jnettlet | oh that reminds me. jmontleon you should start packaging irqbalance from dv's github account. He is carrying my latest patch that adds irqbalancing for the multimedia devices |
| 18:24 | jnettlet | https://github.com/dv1/irqbalanced |
| 18:25 | jnettle | 18:25 * jnettlet needs to start his optimized for imx6 github soon |
| 18:27 | curlymo | @jnettlet, what about accepting the lirc_hb pull request :) |
| 18:28 | jnettlet | curlymo, it is on the list. I had to discuss a couple of things with rabeeh. |
| 18:30 | curlymo | great |
| 18:30 | curlymo | users will be happy |
| 18:32 | m_anish | jnettlet, offtopic the heat sink came with one metallic strip connected with a wire.. is that some kind of temp sensor? |
| 18:32 | jnettlet | m_anish, not sure. I haven't seen the heatsink in person yet :P |
| 18:33 | jnettlet | rabeeh, any comments on the heatsink? |
| 18:33 | jnettlet | m_anish, most likely not though. There is a temp sensor in the die that is used for the thermal monitoring and shutdown |
| 18:33 | m_anish | jnettlet, ok :) .. in India ... we use heatsinks... otw .. things get thermal-shut-down ;-) |
| 18:33 | m_anish | okay |
| 18:34 | m_anish | they're on edge anyway |
| 18:34 | m_anish | :)) |
| 18:34 | jnettlet | m_anish, yeah with the quad it is necessary. With all the software optimizations that have been done, you can really push these to heat up pretty good. |
| 18:35 | jnettlet | the GPU is the worst offender |
| 18:35 | m_anish | jnettlet, i probably do not need the GPU (for server applications, maybe) |
| 18:35 | jnettlet | m_anish, unless you want to do something with OpenCL |
| 18:35 | m_anish | ya |
| 18:36 | m_anish | jnettlet, does the gpu support some kind of perf scaling? |
| 18:38 | jnettlet | m_anish, yes but I need to rework it |
| 18:38 | jnettlet | it is very basic. |
| 18:40 | Z0l | have a nice evening |
| 18:40 | m_anish | okay |
| 18:40 | m_anish | jnettlet, nice.. i'll get back to it... |
| 18:40 | m_anish | thx! (and jmontleon too) |
| 18:44 | jnettlet | m_anish, anytime. let me know how things go |
| 18:45 | m_anish | jnettlet, sure.. fwiw.. i'm tryng to host this on the server.. http://nroer.metastudio.org/home/ amongst other xsce services |
| 18:45 | m_anish | (next,mongod will be making life hell with it's 2GB/32bit limit, have to find a way arnd that... sharding or something else) |
| 19:03 | jmontleon | jnettlet, cool. thanks for the heads up |
| 19:37 | jnettlet | jmontleon, what are the default user/pass for your images? |
| 19:43 | jmontleon | root / fedora |
| 19:43 | jmontleon | jnettlet, ^ |
| 21:39 | Chris-ECServices | has anyone seen a HB with a blinking red led? |
| 22:36 | wrexem | Chris-ECServices I have not seen that |
