| 00:01 | Exaga | installation is done by downloading the slackware source to a usb drive and then running setup |
| 00:02 | Exaga | or you can install from a ftp/http server |
| 00:03 | Exaga | but basically... run the installer, set/modify partitions, run setup, follow instructions, etc. etc. |
| 00:05 | rabeeh | GeexBox added |
| 00:05 | Exaga | rabeeh: you'll require an image.img right? |
| 00:05 | rabeeh | Exaga: easiest is img.xz |
| 00:05 | Exaga | no probs |
| 00:05 | rabeeh | if it's too big then the 512MByte memory won't be good enough |
| 00:06 | rabeeh | a good example is here - |
| 00:06 | rabeeh | https://github.com/SolidRun/ignition-imx6/blob/master/GeexBox/install.sh |
| 00:06 | rabeeh | curl to download the img.xz, then 'xzcat' the image and 'dd' to /dev/mmcblk0 |
| 00:07 | rabeeh | ok; will be going now |
| 00:07 | rabeeh | ALL: please try Ignition |
| 00:07 | Exaga | i can work with this |
| 00:07 | rabeeh | i know that most of the nice folks at #cubox and #cubox-devel are pros that want to hand install things |
| 00:08 | rabeeh | the intention of project Ignition is to surface up the great work being done by the community to regular user that don't want to read manuals to install things (or simply uncapable) |
| 00:09 | rabeeh | more testing is ahead of us and then will announce on the forums. |
| 00:09 | Exaga | cool |
| 00:09 | rabeeh | needless to say that Ignition will be released as GPLv2 code so that people can download, enhance and even use for their own projects |
| 00:11 | rabeeh | oh; and one other item; if i forgot a distro that is not on the below list then please let me know - |

| 13:01 | quitte | Hi. what should I refer to for the pin muxing? The schematics? |
| 16:19 | cjori | anyone here booting their cubox/hummingboard off of not-micro sd storage (msata/esata)? |
| 16:20 | cjori | I copied my file system to an msata ssd, and added a root={my ssd here} on uEnv.txt, and it boots fine, but the system is very unstable |
| 16:20 | cjori | (xbmc won't start, many ext4 errors on the journal, crashes often) |
| 16:21 | quitte | cjori: how do you power your ssd? |
| 16:21 | cjori | it's an msata ssd, so directly connected to the hummingboard |
| 16:22 | cjori | (just dd'ing a lot of data to the ssd works fine, and I'm getting good speed out of it) |
| 16:23 | quitte | cjori: can you check if your power supply is stable? |
| 16:23 | cjori | quitte: how so? I'm not much of an electronics person |
| 16:24 | cjori | quitte: but I'm using an iPad power adapter, it says it provides 5V 2A |
| 16:32 | cjori | quitte: I disconnected a bunch of peripherals to lower the power usage on the hummingboard and facing the same issue |
| 16:32 | cjori | I don't think it's a power issue, I think I'm doing something wrong |
| 18:51 | quitte | is the bootrom sourcecode available somewhere? |
| 19:53 | Exaga | HUMMINGBOARD ROXXXXXX! |
| 19:53 | Exaga | <3 |
| 20:56 | cjori | seems like I do have a power issue with the hummingboard after all :( |
| 21:07 | quitte | cjori: how did you figure that out? |
| 21:09 | cjori | quitte: I sorted out the issues I had earlier. Now if I play a movie with peripherals attached, it reboots. If I disconnect the peripherals it's okay. |
| 21:10 | cjori | peripherals being: bluetooth dongle, logitech mouse dongle, a 5v fan, an msata ssd and a pcie sata card |
| 21:10 | cjori | even just having the pcie sata card and the masta sata, it reboots when I play a movie |
| 21:11 | quitte | hmm. the solid-run power supply is 2A, too |
| 21:11 | quitte | I'd use a PC's PSU. those are beefy enough |
| 21:12 | quitte | and easily available |
| 21:20 | cjori | hmm still thinking, maybe it's a temp issue. it just reset again and booted up with 69C |
| 21:20 | cjori | quitte: do you happen to know the temp limit? |
| 21:20 | quitte | sorry, no |
| 21:22 | cjori | seems like that temp is okay http://www.solid-run.com/community/post13041.html#p13041 |
