| 00:12 | Chris-ECServices | hmmm n64 stutters :/ |
| 02:40 | bc___ | at what voltage does the CuBox-i4Pro run? |
| 02:41 | bc___ | ahh nm I see spec on the adapter 5V/2A |
| 02:46 | wrexem | I wonder how well my hummingboard would like the quad microSOM - think it would run it? Assuming I did something for cooling. |
| 03:44 | jmontleon | wrexem, it an work; needs one of those red heat sinks they put on em |
| 03:44 | jmontleon | s/an/can/ |
| 03:45 | jmontleon | a few people here have i4pro microsoms on hummingboards |
| 04:42 | wrexem | .quit |
| 14:07 | Chris-ECServices | @rabeeh, have you some tipps to get custom resolutions running with the debian image? |
| 14:18 | joelbaby | Chris-ECServices try fbset and fbmode.. You'll need to create or add to the /etc/fb.modes file. |
| 14:18 | Chris-ECServices | ah okay i'll try |
| 14:53 | bencoh | meta-fsl-extra, Thu Sep 4 11:41:58 2014, linux-cubox-i: upgrade to 3.14.14 version yeah \o/ |
| 14:53 | bencoh | gonna try tat |
| 14:53 | bencoh | that* |
| 15:19 | wrexem | Good morning everyone. |
| 15:32 | Chris-ECServices | morning |
| 15:50 | joelbaby | evening. |
| 15:51 | TrojanHorse | afternoon |
| 15:51 | TrojanHors | 15:51 * TrojanHorse waits for someone to say "monring" |
| 16:05 | Chris-ECServices | has someone tried a multiboot on cb or hb? |
| 16:06 | TrojanHorse | just for teh record, whats a multiboot? |
| 16:09 | Chris-ECServices | to select which os to boot, for example openelec or debian |
| 16:09 | Chris-ECServices | to be a diskjokey is not perfect :) |
| 16:09 | Chris-ECServices | like berryboot |
| 16:10 | TrojanHorse | I see |
| 16:10 | TrojanHorse | I havent tried it |
| 16:10 | TrojanHorse | but it shouldnt be hard |
| 16:11 | deniska | Chris-ECServices: https://wiki.linaro.org/LEG/Engineering/Kernel/GRUBonUBOOT theoretically |
| 16:11 | TrojanHorse | the boot.scr would have to contain a few definitions, like |
| 16:11 | TrojanHorse | boot_android='some cmds' |
| 16:11 | TrojanHorse | boot_suse='some similar cmds' |
| 16:11 | TrojanHorse | and then show the uboot prompt |
| 16:11 | TrojanHorse | the user could enter boot_android |
| 16:11 | deniska | or like that, yeah =) |
| 16:11 | TrojanHorse | and get it |
| 16:12 | Chris-ECServices | uh... |
| 16:12 | Chris-ECServices | are there some boot.scr examples? |
| 16:12 | TrojanHorse | there have also been comprehensible menus built with uboot |
| 16:12 | wrexem | I would say what you want, Chris, is to use GRUB |
| 16:12 | wrexem | Because if you're used to a multiboot option, that will be most familiar |
| 16:13 | wrexem | and you won't have to type something. |
| 16:13 | wrexem | or fiddle with uboot at all really |
| 16:13 | wrexem | Isn't that called chain-loading or something |
| 16:14 | deniska | grub2 on arm requires uboot afaik |
| 16:14 | Chris-ECServices | has someone tried your linke deniska? |
| 16:14 | TrojanHorse | a fun exercise might be to use an initrd and kexec |
| 16:15 | deniska | Chris-ECServices: dunno, it's the first google result for "grub uboot" which I typed because I watched a video with a grub guy yesterday who said that grub requires uboot on arm |
| 16:15 | Chris-ECServices | i think i'm to much noob for that^^ |
| 16:16 | TrojanHorse | http://omappedia.org/wiki/Multiboot_using_u-boot |
| 16:16 | TrojanHorse | maybe this is of use |
| 16:17 | TrojanHorse | so the trick seems to be a boot.scr that has |
| 16:17 | TrojanHorse | boot_suse='load suse.scr; run' |
| 16:18 | TrojanHorse | and a suse.scr that ahs all the usual stuff |
| 16:18 | TrojanHorse | ofc my commands are wrong here |
| 16:18 | TrojanHorse | I am no uboot expert |
| 16:18 | TrojanHorse | but it seems easy enough |
| 16:19 | wrexem | Right, other than having to type something every time you wanted to boot the other OS |
| 16:19 | wrexem | instead of what grub does, just arrow downward |
| 16:19 | TrojanHorse | yes |
| 16:19 | TrojanHorse | but that uboot can do too |
| 16:19 | TrojanHorse | I have seen it |
| 16:20 | TrojanHorse | I jsut dont find any source right now |
| 16:20 | TrojanHorse | e.g. on openmoko phone you could press button to iterate over options on screen |
| 16:20 | TrojanHorse | anyway, goota go, train arrived |
| 16:20 | wrexem | Could be handy though I suppose. Uboot could get a "boot from usb memory stick" |
| 16:20 | wrexem | that would be pretty spiffy |
| 17:04 | wrexem | Just bought one of these: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835119046 |
| 17:04 | wrexem | To see if I can stick it on my HB |
| 17:04 | wrexem | should be basically the perfect size :) |
| 17:05 | wrexem | I plan to run it from one of the extra usb header. |
| 17:07 | joelbaby | does hummingboard need a fan? |
| 17:07 | wrexem | not that I have noticed. |
| 17:07 | wrexem | I have the dual chip, and it gets hot... I plan to enclose it though, eventually |
| 17:08 | wrexem | So I'm thinking it will be a good idea, and it can't hurt right? |
| 17:08 | joelbaby | so y not just have an enclosure that can dissipate heat ? |
| 17:09 | joelbaby | i think the imx6 is good up to 85C |
| 17:10 | wrexem | No real reason :) Wonder if I can overclock - surely that's an option, somehow |
| 17:10 | wrexem | it was $7, free shipping |
| 17:13 | joelbaby | Freescale have lots of documentation on thermal management for imx6. Here is one: http://cache.freescale.com/files/32bit/doc/app_note/AN4579.pdf |
| 17:14 | curlymo | i heard 110C is the max. 85 is on the Raspberry Pi |
| 17:18 | wrexem | I don't really like running things hot; even if it's in the spec, keeping it down in the 60c range can't hurt anything I think. |
| 17:18 | wrexem | I am reading that document though, very interesting. |
| 17:19 | Chris-ECServices | my hb runs in enclosure without any holes :D on compiling it gets around 70?C |
| 17:19 | Chris-ECServices | its okay... |
| 17:19 | Chris-ECServices | :) |
| 17:20 | wrexem | Are you doing a -j4 when you run make? |
| 17:20 | wrexem | or just running on a single core? |
| 17:21 | Chris-ECServices | don't know :D had done limelight with ant |
| 17:49 | curlymo | pilight has gotten support for the hummingboard :) |
| 17:49 | curlymo | http://www.pilight.org |
| 17:53 | wrexem | What exactly is it |
| 17:53 | wrexem | domotica, idk that word |
| 17:53 | wrexem | home automation kinds of things? |
| 17:53 | curlymo | yes |
| 17:54 | wrexem | very cool |
| 17:54 | curlymo | running on the new wiringHB / wiringX GPIO interface i released yesterday. |
| 18:51 | wrexem | Could someone point me in the right direction... fstab doesn't seem to be working in this distro I am looking at (wheezy) that I found on the forums |
| 18:51 | wrexem | e.g. it's not using fstab at all, but rather something else |
| 18:51 | wrexem | to control what is mounted where |
| 20:26 | wrexem | ok well I got the debian image up :) |
| 20:27 | wrexem | It seems smooth. |
| 20:28 | wrexem | the wifi firmware didn't work for my RTL8192CU - but I found one for chromium that worked, lol |
| 22:16 | wrexem | rabeeh, jnettlet - SUCCESS APPEARS IMMINENT with my pci-e issue. I have just installed the latest kernel into igor's debian build, LSPCI shows both bridge and card. |
| 22:17 | wrexem | I am compiling modules now and remain hopeful that they will fix my other issue :) |
| 22:18 | malte | :) |
