| 14:26 | kgp | rabeeh: How is live |
| 14:26 | kgp | 'life? |
| 15:54 | DoubleMalt | Hi all! |
| 17:21 | wrexem | All these people saying hello |
| 17:21 | wrexem | Never to be answered. |
| 17:21 | wrexem | A bit sad, I think. |
| 17:26 | joelbaby | have a tissue |
| 17:27 | kgp | Hello |
| 17:29 | joelbaby | is it me you're looking ofr? |
| 17:29 | joelbaby | for |
| 17:53 | jnettlet | wrexem, feel free to take the job of official channel greeter |
| 18:05 | Chris-ECServices | just a dump question :) i have in mind that there was talked about some sleep state of the cb. could for example an openelec use this sleep state as standby and wake it up again via eg ir or wol? |
| 18:06 | sraue | i think its possible to - at least - use the same method the RPi uses |
| 18:07 | sraue | will speak with some xbmc guys about this soon |
| 18:07 | Chris-ECServices | method of rpi users? |
| 18:07 | Humpelst1lzchen | Did anyone here tried to compile xbmc under debian? And if so which repository? |
| 18:09 | mk01 | Humpelst1lzchen: yes, xbmc do compile fine with debian |
| 18:11 | Humpelst1lzchen | mk01: ok, any recommendation? https://github.com/xbmc-imx6/xbmc.git didn't compile for me |
| 18:11 | mk01 | yes, that one |
| 18:12 | Humpelst1lzchen | hmm |
| 18:13 | Humpelst1lzchen | at least I'm on the right track (I hope) |
| 18:13 | mk01 | you need imx6 kernel headers (specificaly mxcfb.h from it) installed, then libvpu and vpuwrapper |
| 18:13 | sraue | Humpelst1lzchen, why not compile xbmc master from https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/ ? |
| 18:14 | mk01 | this are the specifics, otherwise the normal dependencies -dev |
| 18:14 | Humpelst1lzchen | mk01: I should have them. At least I succeeded in compiling Gstreamer |
| 18:14 | mk01 | sraue: is imx6 merged into upstream already ? |
| 18:14 | sraue | yes |
| 18:14 | Humpelst1lzchen | oh nice |
| 18:14 | mk01 | Humpelst1lzchen: then you should have all. |
| 18:14 | sraue | its what openelec uses |
| 18:14 | Humpelst1lzchen | sraue: didn't know that one, thanks |
| 18:16 | mk01 | hmm, it is real |
| 18:16 | mk01 | :) |
| 18:16 | sraue | yeah i tought you know :-) |
| 18:16 | mk01 | nope |
| 18:17 | mk01 | we had imx6 as origin and xbmc merged constantly in |
| 18:17 | sraue | only deinterlacing support is missing and a few small issues are there, but generally it works |
| 18:17 | mk01 | sraue: so DEINT is forced off or like at imx6/xbmc that it is forced half- ? |
| 18:18 | mk01 | and only for SD content |
| 18:18 | sraue | its off |
| 18:18 | sraue | i think its not included, wolfgar is working on this |
| 18:19 | mk01 | hmm forced off in glesrenderer . I see |
| 18:20 | mk01 | https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/blob/master/xbmc/cores/VideoRenderers/LinuxRendererGLES.cpp#L2802 |
| 18:23 | mk01 | you are right |
| 18:23 | mk01 | the code from uploadtexture is also missing |
| 18:24 | sraue | this is something what should be added fast as possible to have this in helix, and fix the remaining small issues, to have a good working port in helix |
| 18:29 | dv_ | helix? some codename for a xbmc release? |
| 18:29 | sraue | yes |
| 18:29 | mk01 | hm. it is known for quite some time ... even 20013 still. |
| 18:30 | dv_ | you guys are xbmc devs who touch the imx6 bits? |
| 18:31 | dv_ | I was wondering how far its integration is. there are some very tricky parts with the VPU wrapper and h264 frame reordering |
| 18:32 | dv_ | took me forever to figure them all out |
| 18:33 | joelbaby | dv_ .. its not called xbmc anymore :) |
| 18:33 | dv_ | right, k-something it is now |
| 18:37 | Chris-ECServices | has someone seen the effect booting up openelec an landing on a black screen but you can hear you can use the menu but don't see anything? |
| 18:37 | Chris-ECServices | boot again boot again a i see something |
| 18:37 | mk01 | Chris-ECServices: try removing guisettings.xml |
| 18:38 | Chris-ECServices | even on a fresh install? |
| 18:39 | Humpelst1lzchen | Chris-ECServices: Are you on DVI? |
| 18:39 | Chris-ECServices | no hdmi -> hdmi |
| 18:39 | Humpelst1lzchen | btw Chris-ECServices Are you the one selling the devices? |
| 18:39 | Chris-ECServices | jop |
| 18:40 | Humpelst1lzchen | uuh a vendor using its own stuff |
| 18:40 | Humpelst1lzchen | got mine from you last week ;) |
| 18:40 | Chris-ECServices | of course ^^ i'm my best customer :) |
| 18:40 | Humpelst1lzchen | lol |
| 18:40 | Chris-ECServices | after set up lakka yesterday my girlfriend don't gives me my i4pro back :/ |
| 18:42 | Chris-ECServices | humpelst1lzchen, how is your one running? |
| 18:43 | Humpelst1lzchen | fine, thank you |
| 18:43 | sraue | Chris-ECServices, yes its known |
| 18:47 | rabeeh | Chris-ECServices: how is lakka behaving now? |
| 18:47 | rabeeh | kivutar on the channel is one of the main driving forces behind lakka |
| 18:48 | Chris-ECServices | i should ask my girlfriend :) she uses lakka now for hours and loves it :D |
| 18:48 | rabeeh | which reminds me; kivutar: the sgtl audio codec now works |
| 18:48 | Chris-ECServices | no runs really well love it! i've already written a blog post about it |
| 18:48 | rabeeh | do you have a blog post? maybe some pictures? |
| 18:48 | Chris-ECServices | ^^ |
| 18:48 | rabeeh | oh; i'v missed that then |
| 18:48 | Chris-ECServices | http://blog.ecservices.de/2014/09/10/lakka-auf-der-cubox-back-gaming-roots/ |
| 18:49 | Chris-ECServices | sorry is in german like every time :D |
| 18:49 | Chris-ECServices | i had to edit the config to set sound to hdmi but the rest runs out of the box |
| 18:49 | Chris-ECServices | only the n64 emu stutters... |
| 18:49 | kivutar | rabeeh, great news :) |
| 18:50 | kivutar | i'm working with Squarepusher to get the settings gui ready by the end of the month |
| 18:50 | kivutar | after that we can finally release |
| 18:51 | Chris-ECServices | kivutar very cool! |
| 18:51 | rabeeh | kivutar: have you spread the news in the forums? |
| 18:51 | rabeeh | i don't typically miss those kind of announcements :) |
| 18:51 | kivutar | not yet because I fear to have too much people asking for support while the code is not ready |
| 18:52 | rabeeh | Chris-ECServices: do you use a joystick? |
| 18:52 | Chris-ECServices | kivutar an enhancement idea: what about some usb rom copy? i friend visits you with roms on usb sticks, put it in and copy (automatically) to your roms folder... without using the share or something |
| 18:52 | kivutar | I prefer to have everything tested and working |
| 18:52 | Chris-ECServices | yes using two ps3 controllers |
| 18:52 | Chris-ECServices | yesterday evening we tested very intensive with some friends :) |
| 18:52 | rabeeh | kivutar: please handle it the you want |
| 18:53 | kivutar | Chris-ECServices, this is already the case, any usb stick is automatically mounted in the rom folder |
| 18:53 | rabeeh | but i strongly suggest to spread the news even in a closed loop to get feedback and improvement ideas |
| 18:53 | Chris-ECServices | doh ^^ |
| 18:53 | rabeeh | kivutar: i bet it's ntfs filesystem issues |
| 18:54 | kivutar | rabeeh, I've noticed that the bootloader is faster since 2 weeks |
| 18:54 | kivutar | or maybe i'm dreaming |
| 18:57 | Chris-ECServices | as feedback. the debian from igor with gnome desktop runs like a charm. like it! |
| 18:57 | jnettlet | kivutar, if you put your zImage and .dtbs on the first partition that is formatted fat you can enable direct boot with devmem. devmem 0x20cc068 16 0x100 |
| 18:57 | jnettlet | you need to setup a service to do that on every successful boot though. |
| 18:58 | jnettlet | if boot fails then it will fall back to standarad 2-stage boot |
| 18:58 | kivutar | oho |
| 18:58 | kivutar | jnettlet, the zImage needs to be named zImage? |
| 18:58 | jnettlet | yes |
| 18:59 | kivutar | ok let me try this |
| 18:59 | jnettlet | and if you need special commandline settings you need to change those in the device-tree files |
| 18:59 | jnettlet | but I have added basic settings that work for what I consider the "generic" setup |
| 19:00 | jnettlet | wrexem, glad you got pcie working |
| 19:00 | jnettlet | has it been stable for you? |
| 19:00 | kivutar | yeah I will need a special cmdline, as my distro is based on openelec |
| 19:01 | jnettlet | then just patch the dtbs in the kernel. |
| 19:02 | jnettlet | kivutar, https://github.com/SolidRun/linux-imx6-3.14/blob/linux-linaro-lsk-v3.14-mx6/arch/arm/boot/dts/imx6qdl-hummingboard.dtsi |
| 19:02 | jnettlet | see the bootargs setting |
| 19:02 | jnettlet | the same for the cubox-i |
| 19:05 | kivutar | thanks |
| 19:08 | sraue | jnettlet, openelec uses https://github.com/OpenELEC/OpenELEC.tv/blob/master/projects/Cuboxi/patches/u-boot/010-cuboxi-u-boot-zImage.patch to support a different name, we asked rabeeh some time ago to include this. OpenELEC uses a different filename as default, so we add "zImage=/KERNEL" in uEnv.txt |
| 19:20 | jnettlet | sraue, thanks but any new uboot stuff is going to be upstream where there is a default boot script now. If you need something custom like that you can override things with a custom uboot script. |
| 19:27 | mk01 | sraue: there is bootfile |
| 19:27 | mk01 | variable |
| 19:27 | kivutar | ok, patched the kernel, now let's package devmem.. |
| 20:14 | wrexem | jnettlet: It's stable, my wireless card can't see any AP but idk if I would say that's your fault. |
| 20:15 | wrexem | or anyone... card is probably dead? idk, I harvested it from a laptop |
| 20:15 | wrexem | new one may come someday soon, it's in the mail |
| 20:15 | wrexem | Using Igor's debian build, with new kernel and modules - life is good. |

| 20:45 | mk01 | iw phy |
| 20:46 | wrexem | when using a USB wifi key, I get results from iwlist wlan1 scan |
| 20:47 | mk01 | ok, so the realtek is usbwifi wlan1 |
| 20:47 | wrexem | no |
| 20:47 | wrexem | I have two realtek chips |
| 20:48 | wrexem | Both load, perform same-ish, but I cannot scan with PCI-E one. |
| 20:48 | wrexem | Nor join networks, etc |
| 20:48 | mk01 | ah |
| 20:48 | wrexem | With the USB removed |
| 20:48 | wrexem | PCI-E (wlan0) doesn't work. |
| 20:49 | mk01 | got it, yes. didn't realise the ...SE at the beginning |
| 20:50 | mk01 | there were some PCIE commits recently |
| 20:50 | mk01 | (4 days) |
| 20:50 | wrexem | Yes, otherwise I wouldn't see the card. |
| 20:50 | wrexem | I have them |
| 20:50 | mk01 | ok |
| 20:51 | mk01 | then let's take device visibility as today's success - proceeding towards another set of commits |
| 20:51 | mk01 | ;) |
| 20:51 | wrexem | Indeed I am. Gloating, even. |
| 20:52 | wrexem | I can get on wifi with the usb stick, so that's a win I think :) |
| 20:53 | wrexem | And Igor... I need to go right now and donate to him. brb |
| 20:55 | wrexem | Boom, donation complete. Slovenia, heh |
| 20:56 | jnettlet | wrexem, can you pastebin the contents of /proc/interrupts? |
| 20:58 | wrexem | http://pastebin.com/iMRk1x37 |
| 20:58 | jnettlet | wrexem, you enabled CONFIG_PCI_MSI. turn it off |
| 20:59 | jnettlet | it will work after that |
| 20:59 | wrexem | where would I change that, exactly? |
| 20:59 | jnettlet | the kernel config |
| 20:59 | wrexem | then I rebuild? |
| 21:00 | jnettlet | yes |
| 21:00 | wrexem | # |
| 21:00 | wrexem | # Bus support |
| 21:00 | wrexem | # |
| 21:00 | wrexem | CONFIG_PCI=y |
| 21:00 | wrexem | CONFIG_PCI_DOMAINS=y |
| 21:00 | wrexem | CONFIG_PCI_SYSCALL=y |
| 21:00 | wrexem | CONFIG_PCI_MSI=y |
| 21:00 | wrexem | # CONFIG_PCI_DEBUG is not set |
| 21:00 | wrexem | # CONFIG_PCI_REALLOC_ENABLE_AUTO is not set |
| 21:00 | wrexem | CONFIG_PCI_STUB=y |
| 21:01 | wrexem | change that to #CONFIG_PCI_MSI is not set |
| 21:01 | wrexem | yes? |
| 21:01 | jnettlet | yes |
| 21:02 | jnettlet | everything else is fine |
| 21:02 | wrexem | do I only need to rebuild zImage ?? |
| 21:03 | jnettlet | yes that should be enough |
| 21:04 | jnettlet | umm unless you modules use PCI. I know the wifi card doesn't need it, so that should be okay |
| 21:06 | wrexem | Probably I should say then, I used "make imx_v7_cbi_hb_defconfig" |
| 21:06 | wrexem | I believe that's where that came from yes? |
| 21:08 | jnettlet | yeah it probably needs to be disabled explicitely. |
| 21:11 | jnettlet | actually, I still need to finish the patch that allows it to be disabled through device-tree. |
| 21:11 | wrexem | bleh, gonna need to redo modules I think |
| 21:11 | wrexem | unknown symbols |
| 21:12 | wrexem | At least I have it running on 8 cores :D |
| 21:18 | wrexem | That makes (4) times I have accidentally deleted uEnv.txt :D |
| 21:22 | wrexem | I guess I don't understand what I'm doing - I rebuilt the zImage, all modules, and still it shows that pci_msi in interrupts |
| 21:24 | wrexem | oh. hmm |
| 21:24 | wrexem | should I try "CONFIG_PCI_MSI=n |
| 21:26 | jnettlet | oh, you forgot the space |
| 21:26 | jnettlet | # CONFIG_PCI_MSI is not set |
| 21:28 | wrexem | http://kernel.xc.net/html/linux-2.6.33/x86/PCI_MSI |
| 21:28 | wrexem | What if I were to set that somewhere - uEnv.txt perhaps? |
| 21:33 | wrexem | I need someone to swordfight while I am compiling. http://xkcd.com/303/ |
| 21:38 | jnettlet_ | wrexem, actually pci=nomsi should work |
| 21:39 | wrexem | in the uEnv.txt file? |
| 21:39 | wrexem | mmcargs=setenv bootargs root=/dev/sda1 rootfstype=ext4 rootwait console=ttymxc0,115200n8 video=mxcfb0:dev=hdmi,1920x1080M@60,if=RGB24,bpp=32 rd.dm=0 rd.luks=0 rd.lvm=0 raid=noautodetect pci=nomsi |
| 21:39 | wrexem | like that? |
| 21:40 | jnettlet_ | should be fine |
| 21:45 | wrexem | BLEEPING SUCCESS :) Brilliant! |
| 21:53 | wrexem | well, it can scan... |
| 21:53 | wrexem | lol |
| 21:53 | wrexem | still won't join |
| 21:53 | wrexem | I still count it a huge win. |
| 21:54 | wrexem | jnettlet, thank you :) |
| 21:54 | wrexem | jnettlet_, thank you :) |
| 21:58 | jnettlet_ | wrexem, no problem. glad it is working for you |
| 21:58 | jnettlet | why won't it join? |
| 22:00 | wrexem | It doesn't say... I can see it on scan, I have the psk set... |
| 22:00 | wrexem | idk where to see the failure at |
| 22:01 | wrexem | Using identical settings from the usb key in /etc/network/interfaces |
| 22:01 | wrexem | other than the interface number, wlan0 |
| 22:05 | jnettlet | I can't help you with the /etc/network/interfaces stuff. I am using networkmanager with no problem |
| 22:05 | wrexem | hmm dmesg shows some stuff, no problem |
| 22:18 | wrexem | nice, I got it :) |
| 22:18 | wrexem | it's a range fail on this pci-e card, need some antenna I think |
| 22:19 | wrexem | rigged it to mobile hotspot - on my phone - and voila |
| 22:19 | wrexem | total win. |
| 22:20 | wrexem | I am so incredibly pumped right now. |
| 22:27 | jnettlet | great |
