02:48 murder first impression with cuboxi4-pro: received a 4gb microsd instead of a 8gb microsd, dd tests show it's much lower than the class 10 it was supposed to be :|
02:49 murder slower.
05:03 jnettlet murder, if you got shipped the wrong sdhc card size then you should contact customer support. As for the performance of the SD card, I have yet to run across one that doesn't do at least 18-20MB/s for dd read speeds.
05:04 jnettlet I would also like to point out that the sdhc "classes" only designate write speeds.
09:18 RocketRider Hi
09:20 RocketRider I would like to use a camera with the hummingboard-i2ex.
09:21 RocketRider is there anyone who could help me with that?
09:21 RocketRider I bought a PI cam because the hardware seems to fit, but I can't find any driver
09:36 RocketRider if anyone sees my question later and wants to help me, pls. send me a mail [email protected]

15:06 R0nd is there a way to boot cubox from esata hdd?
15:07 R0nd hmm, wiki says no
15:09 jmontleon can't boot from it, but you can have an sd card with just /boot and everything else on esata, I believe. I do similar with hummingboard except sd/msata
15:11 R0nd okay, it's just that my sdcard died, gotta go get a new one :)
15:29 dv__ you only need the u-boot image and the SPL on the sd card's first partition
15:29 dv__ even the zImage can be on the hard disk
15:33 murder have you guys had any problems with seagate 5tb+ ext hdds?
16:17 wrexem So, since the patches yesterday (PCI-E stuff) I can't get a working compiled kernel on my hb
16:17 wrexem It boots to the hdmi for about 2 seconds, then blanks the screen and I have no idea what happened next.
16:18 wrexem I don't have a usb serial console cable, I did order one yesterday for debugging this stuff though.
16:19 wrexem I even tried compiling direct on the hb
16:20 rabeeh wrexem: did you start over?
16:20 rabeeh i.e. make distclean; configuring the kernel by the defconfig and then rebuilding?
16:21 wrexem What's the difference between make clean and make distclean
16:21 wrexem I am doing this:
16:21 wrexem make imx_v7_cbi_hb_defconfig
16:21 wrexem make zImage imx6q-cubox-i.dtb imx6dl-cubox-i.dtb imx6dl-hummingboard.dtb imx6q-hummingboard.dtb
16:22 wrexem and then modules
16:22 wrexem ok nevermind, I rtfm
16:23 wrexem I wasn't using distclean.
16:23 wrexem Is there a strong preference there? Seems like both would do the same thing to me.
16:25 wrexem Again, nevermind that question. More rtfming.
16:26 wrexem I had re-run the make imx_v7_cbi_hb_defconfig
16:26 wrexem Actually, I did a fresh clone off git
16:26 wrexem straight up murdered the directory I was compiling from
16:30 wrexem So, any ideas? I'm thinking the problem is somewhere in the device trees.
16:31 rabeeh wrexem: is it working now?
16:32 wrexem It's compiling again - but I'm guessing it will do exactly the same thing - as I said, I deleted the directory completely (I would call that better than a distclean/clean)
16:33 wrexem I noticed there were some small updates today that I pulled, so I'm building that version.
16:41 wrexem after a new kernel, power reset required yes?
16:41 wrexem Hey looks it's working, maybe... hmm
16:42 rabeeh wrexem: after booting please run 'uname' and make sure you are running the new built zImage
16:43 joelbaby uname -a
16:44 wrexem I can see in dmesg it's the one I compiled tody
16:45 wrexem I have no idea what fixed it *sigh*
16:45 wrexem It's working now though.
16:45 rabeeh wrexem: today is not good
16:46 wrexem Thanks for listening to me ramble.
16:46 rabeeh you need to check few minutes ago :)
16:46 wrexem root@cubox:~# uname -a
16:46 wrexem Linux cubox 3.14.14+ #1 SMP Tue Sep 9 10:36:58 EDT 2014 armv7l armv7l armv7l GNU/Linux
16:46 wrexem root@cubox:~#
16:50 wrexem So, according to my - addmittedly fragile - understanding of what I compiled here
16:51 wrexem pci-e should be working? Because it doesn't seem to be.
17:01 wrexe 17:01 * wrexem cricket cricket
17:02 wrexem nano +162 arch/arm/boot/dts/imx6qdl.dtsi
17:02 wrexem still shows "disabled"
17:13 rabeeh wrexem: it gets enabled here -
17:13 rabeeh https://github.com/SolidRun/linux-imx6-3.14/blob/linux-linaro-lsk-v3.14-mx6/arch/arm/boot/dts/imx6qdl-hummingboard.dtsi#L332
17:14 wrexem ok - I trust that you know exactly what you are doing. That said, I had before a patch on that file that reads completely different than what is there now. And I was getting output from the command "lspci" on my patched version, but not on the ones I downloaded from github.
17:15 rabeeh which card are you using?
17:16 wrexem I am getting nothing, not even the bridge information. But to answer your question, it is an RTL8192SE - for which I have the modules loaded (visible via lsmod)
17:21 wrexem In the forums, jmontleon and I had spoken back and forth a few times in the 3.14.14 kernel thread about getting pci-e working. At one point, using patches he had supplied, I was getting at least my bridge information when I used lspci
17:22 jmontleon wasn't me providing those ;)
17:22 jmontleon my only contribution was to ask what pci bus, because I forgot the hummingboard had the pci slot
17:22 wrexem You're right, my bad
17:23 jmontleon non-contribution really
17:23 wrexem lol, it was actually rabeeh
17:24 wrexem the clocks numbers are different!
17:24 wrexem and the clock-names
17:25 wrexem @rabeeh - you posted this paste
17:25 wrexem http://pastebin.com/mZ9tnyxm
17:25 wrexem and the currently hosted file is completely unpatched.
17:57 jnettlet wrexem, I am the one providing that information to rabeeh. The current committed source is the verified working device-tree and kernel
17:58 jnettlet I have a pcie atheros card running right now in a HB
18:02 rabeeh and i'v checked with Intel wifi card
18:07 rabeeh lspci
18:07 rabeeh 00:00.0 PCI bridge: Device 16c3:abcd (rev 01)
18:07 rabeeh 01:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation Centrino Advanced-N 6235 (rev 24)
18:07 rabeeh both HB-i2 and HB-i2ex
18:07 rabeeh sorry; HB-i2ex but with i2 microsom
18:07 rabeeh (yes it's doable)
18:08 wrexem So if you git clone that repo, build the entire thing, with no card in there, you get output from the command LSPCI ?
18:08 wrexem Because that is 100% what I did.
18:08 wrexem If you want a list of the commands I ran, or output from anything on the hb/whatever, I'm happy to provide.
18:09 wrexem I just feel like I'm either seeing something you guys aren't, or doing something wrong. And I've been messing with it for a couple weeks.
18:10 wrexem I think, even without the card in there, I should see the bridge when I type lspci
18:10 wrexem Maybe that's not the case.
18:10 wrexem I do have an intel card in the mail which hasn't arrived yet
18:12 wrexem root@cubox:/# uname -a
18:12 wrexem Linux cubox 3.14.14+ #1 SMP Tue Sep 9 10:36:58 EDT 2014 armv7l armv7l armv7l GNU/Linux
18:12 wrexem root@cubox:/#
18:12 wrexem I git cloned that this morning.
18:43 wrexem Who knows, maybe it's my linux image. I'm going to blow the whole thing up and start over; I haven't got anything really interesting on there anyway, other than about a million apt-get packages which I can get again.
20:24 wrexem @rabeeh - would you consider putting an image up somewhere of your working unit?
20:34 wrexem ok well, that idea seems busted; I just installed the so-called "perfect 14.04" image from the forums.
20:40 wrexem to be fair it says it's for the cubox.
20:51 wrexem I put the new kernel on there though : /
21:13 wrexem *sigh*
22:43 wrexem mmk, well, I was able to get openelec running the way I wanted.
22:43 wrexem So that's a plus.
22:44 wrexem It's glitchy as heck but I'm sure that will change with time.
22:44 wrexem Still doesn't show my pci card ;) but hey, can't have everything (apparently)
23:26 Chris-ECServices just tested nightly from the lakka guys! looks nice love it, but no controller here :/
23:26 Chris-ECServices no supermario :/
23:29 FoXMaN Chris-ECServices: which one?
