00:36 bruceleex anybody here use a 64gb micro sd android on their cubox
00:42 bruceleex helllo?
00:58 test1_ Anybody know how to get HDMI audio working on the i4 pro?
00:58 bruceleex mine works fine
00:59 Guest4914 I'm running Debian using the Igor Pecovnik image...
00:59 Guest4914 and it doesn't seem happy.
01:00 bruceleex i'm using the android build, trying to get full use of the 64gb microsd
01:00 bruceleex but the instructions are kind of shitty, the image file sets it up for a 4gb microsd
01:02 Guest4914 Yeah, Cubox is very much a dev toy, unlike the Pi which arrives almost idiot-proof
01:03 Guest4914 Interesting...when I try to play audio, the SPDIF port lights up, even though the HDMI cable is plugged in...
01:03 Guest4914 ..might be a simple config file switch
01:10 bruceleex hrmm
01:23 bruceleex wierd
01:23 bruceleex i am not sure which partition to extend the data one for android?
01:51 _unreal_ I have an original cubox 800mhz etc... I'm trying to find the source for images to convert it from ubuntu to xbmc?
01:52 _unreal_ it was given to me but I dont have the password so the current ubuntu install is useless to me.
02:45 bruceleex do people actually talk in this channel
03:10 mk01_ bruceleex: in different TZ mostly ;)
07:17 Humpelstilzchen Exaga: don't tell me you don't know big buck bunny
17:46 Bishop92 Anyone figured out how to get wifi working on the i4p?
17:49 deniska copy firmware file to /lib/firmware/something-I-dont-remember
17:51 Bishop92 I tried ifconfig and it doesn't see the wifi though. Just eth1 and lo
17:51 Bishop92 also...linux noob here
17:51 wrexem Hi. I might be able to help with this.
17:51 wrexem What kind of wireless card is it?
17:52 wrexem Builtin, USB, pci-e
17:52 Bishop92 umm...let me look, I have a bunch of forums open and someone said they were using 2 different chipsets
17:52 wrexem Who is "they"?
17:53 wrexem And, what image do you have deployed on your board?
17:53 Bishop92 Solid-Run, makers of the CuBox and bane of my existence right now
17:53 Bishop92 Ubuntu 12.04
17:53 wrexem Which board?
17:53 wrexem And what are you using it for?
17:53 Bishop92 I'm using it for digital signage with video
17:54 Bishop92 I think this is the chipset, Marvell Armada 510 (88AP510) ARMv6/ARMv7 SoC in a 55nm BGA process package
17:55 wrexem So it's connected how?
17:56 wrexem or PCI-E
17:56 Bishop92 i'm not sure, here's their wiki hardware specs link
17:56 Bishop92 http://www.solid-run.com/archive/mw/CuBox_hardware_specification
17:58 Bishop92 I think the wi-fi chipset is a bcm4329
18:00 wrexem OK; can you paste me the output of "lsusb" and "lspci"
18:00 wrexem the packages those are installed by may be missing from your ubuntu build
18:00 wrexem respectively, pciutils and usbutils I think
18:00 Bishop92 ok give me a sec....I'm on a different computer
18:01 Bishop92 i'm gonna jump off and jump back in on the cubox
18:02 Bishop92_ ok, i'm back
18:02 Bishop92_ results of lsusb
18:02 Bishop92_ Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub Bus 002 Device 007: ID 17ef:6019 Lenovo Bus 001 Device 004: ID 04b3:3025 IBM Corp
18:03 Bishop92_ pcilib: Cannot open /proc/bus/pci lspci: Cannot find any working access method.
18:04 wrexem Okay. I suspect the issue is within your linux image.
18:04 Bishop92_ ok...
18:04 wrexem Would it be possible for you to switch distros?
18:05 wrexem I can recommend Igor's build as usable on wifi
18:05 wrexem It's based on ubuntu 14 I think
18:05 Bishop92_ i know there's a workaround to get linux 14 working on cubox....
18:05 wrexem Rather, it's debian Wheezy
18:05 Bishop92_ I haven't tried. I literally figured out how to flash the OS last week...
18:06 wrexem Oops, there he went, lol
18:06 Bishop92 stupid thing....lost connection
18:07 Bishop92 I can try Igor's build. I'm a bit new to this so, just google it?
18:10 wrexem http://www.igorpecovnik.com/2014/08/19/cubox-i-hummingboard-debian-sd-image/
18:14 wrexem (afk, food)
18:37 obinou wrexem: Oh nice website ! I did use this image (and even changed the build script to fit my usage) , i'm glad someone took the time to do it.
18:40 wrexem obinou, Igor is the man.
18:40 wrexem I recommend donating to him if you have spare funds.
18:41 wrexem This is, I think, the most complete build available for humbo/cbi
18:42 obinou agreed
18:44 obinou damn , he does take only paypal - I do have spare bitcoins (even if , this days, it's not the best value), but cash... I don't have too much
18:47 wrexem I think malte knows him. Perhaps he could be persuaded to make a bitcoin address known.
18:48 Exaga Humpelstilzchen: then i won't
18:49 Humpelstilzchen Exaga?
18:49 Exaga 07:17 < Humpelstilzchen> Exaga: don't tell me you don't know big buck bunny
18:49 Exaga Humpelstilzchen: ?
18:49 Humpelstilzchen Exaga: google it
18:49 Exaga why ?
18:49 Humpelstilzchen why not
18:49 Exaga because it's wasting my time
18:49 Humpelstilzchen if you think so..
18:49 Exaga and I never answer a question with a question
18:50 Exaga i suggest you do the same :>
18:50 Humpelstilzchen Exaga: don't care
18:50 Exaga Humpelstilzchen: as i said, it's wasting my time
19:02 wrexem Exaga, bbb is widely acknowledged as THE test video.
19:02 Exaga thanks wrexem
19:02 wrexem Because it's completely free.
19:03 malte igor yes,shall i ask him if he takes bitcoins?
19:03 wrexem That would be great malte
19:04 wrexem idk if he'll get many, but what can it hurt? :)
19:04 wrexem I already paypalled him some
19:05 Exaga malte: o7
19:05 malte will ask
19:18 mdeslaur anyone able to properly play 720p@60fps videos with openelec on the CuBox-i?
19:20 mdeslaur if it says iMX-h264 while playing back, does that necessarily mean it's using hardware acceleration, or should I be checking something else?
19:22 wrexem It looks like there's a pretty big #openelec channel
19:23 wrexem I'm sure someone here could help, but you might try asking there too
19:23 wrexem idk anything about it.
19:24 mdeslaur ah, thanks wrexem
20:10 malte @ wrexem & Exaga : its on his website now
20:10 Exaga :>
20:19 wrexem obinou, did you hear malte? :)
20:20 wrexem 17vT6hV83EQ6rizbWeasfy1tWEzFpzYqEE
20:20 wrexem There now it's in the channel as wel
20:20 wrexem (he should label it though, malte)
20:20 wrexem e.g.: 17vT6hV83EQ6rizbWeasfy1tWEzFpzYqEE (bitcoin)
20:21 malte ok
22:51 topi` finally got my Hummingboard with the quad core microSOM!
22:52 topi` intent is to run the mainline linux kernel on it. how good is the support, or do I really need some Freescale BSP kernel on it?
22:54 Exaga nice one topi`
22:54 Exaga i have the i2eX
22:58 topi` do SDXC (extended capacity) microSD cards work with Hummingboard? Or do I need to get a card with 32GB or less capacity?
22:59 topi` I see the SPL needs to be written to offset 1k on the SD, and the u-boot goes to the first FAT partition
22:59 Exaga yes
22:59 Exaga not sure about microsd cards
22:59 Exaga i use samsung evo 32GB
22:59 Exaga they seem to work perfectly
23:00 topi` Hummingboard has also an eSATA connector, can it boot off of an eSATA drive?
23:01 Exaga no... it always needs to boot from the microsd card
23:01 Exaga but you can just use it for /boot
23:01 Exaga and the SSD can take over
23:01 topi` ok
23:01 topi` I got a Raspberry PI translucent case for the board, but it didn't completely fit... I think the eSATA connector in the bottom is too thick
23:02 Exaga yes that's my problem too
23:02 topi` it doens't let the case close completely
23:02 Exaga i have been crying about it too lol
23:02 topi` also I think the HDMI connector is like 1mm misplaced (from the point of view of the raspberry case)
23:02 topi` maybe 1.5 millimeters :)
23:02 Exaga i guess it depends which case you use
23:02 Exaga i use cyntech cases maninly
23:03 topi` maybe there's a case with slightly larger dimensions somewhere
23:03 Exaga the i1 and i2 fit the raspi cases perfectly
23:03 topi` I just need to find it!
23:03 topi` ok
23:03 Exaga they do not have the mSATA port underneath
23:04 topi` I also want a mPCIe 3G modem in the box, but the modem unfortunately is full-size and the mPCIe slot next to the microSOM is half size only
23:05 topi` so I was wondering if the USB data signals are actually coming over to the mSATA slot as well...
23:07 Exaga not sure
23:07 Exaga but you can get a convertor board ?
23:09 topi` what kind of convertor?
23:09 Exaga half-size to full-size
23:10 topi` right
23:12 obinou malte: wrexem : Got you for the bitcoin addr of igor, thanks
