11:32 Guest17252 I get infinite bootloops for my Hummingboard with a fresh debian-jessi-4-july-2014.img.xz. Does anybody have an idea what could go wrong? I am using
11:33 Guest17252 pl2303hx as power supply.
11:34 Guest17252 The reboot happens after "console [tty0] enabled, bootconsole disabled"
11:35 cbxbiker61 hard to say how much power a pl2303hx device may supply, best bet is to ensure you have 2A available
11:36 cbxbiker61 i was running with 1A, but as soon as the graphics started it would reboot
11:36 jnettlet yeah with the i2eX you will generally peak around 1.4 to 1.5 Amps with the GPU
11:39 Guest17252 Does it hurt to have the 5V from the pl2303hx connected and in parallel an USB power supply?
11:39 cbxbiker61 don't connect the 5v pin of the pl2303
11:40 Guest17252 ok, thanks, I will try that.
11:40 cbxbiker61 ground,tx,rx is all you should connect if you're using another power supply
11:44 Guest17252 That solves the reboot issue, many thanks :-)
11:59 Guest17252 Does anybody know, if I can use Pin 26 as GPIO?
14:17 Guest17252 Does anybody know if it is possible to run a cubox-i on fbcvt: 1920x1080@70 instead of fbcvt: 1920x1080@60 ?
14:21 _unreal_ does any one know where I could get the xbmc or ubuntu or android images that would work for the original develop version of the cubox? the 800mhz one
14:23 malte _unreal_ http://www.solid-run.com/archive/mw/Main_Page // http://www.solid-run.com/archive/phpbb/
14:24 _unreal_ I have a cubox that was given to me
14:25 _unreal_ malte, any suggestions on what would be the best choice? I dont have an exact desire for how I'm going to use the cubox? media or low power irc client???
14:25 malte pm
14:27 _unreal_ pm?
14:27 _unreal_ ;) kidding
15:41 Guest17252 Does anybody know how to get SPI up and running?
15:42 Guest17252 I can modprobe spi_imx, but then I do not see a device showing up.
15:43 crazystick Guest17252: which device?
15:44 crazystick if i2eX, you might need some extra pieces in the dtsi: https://github.com/crazystick/linux-imx6-3.14/commit/dcba5fea51194e10f617017d713b6bf0b4bcc71e
15:50 Guest17252 Hummingboard i2eX
15:52 Guest17252 crazystick, the dtsi ends up in the dtb file, correct?
15:53 crazystick yes. I guess you can't tell if it is there except by checking the source. I'm running arch, which uses the SR kernel, and it was missing
15:53 crazystick I don't have any SPI devices, but for I2C that change worked
15:54 crazystick others report that SPI also works after that. http://www.solid-run.com/community/topic1571-10.html
22:21 coreyfarrell anyone have a suggestion on how to deal with HDMI overscan on cubox i4pro? I installed ubuntu, it is using resolution 1280x720. The screen is cutting off 32px left and right, 18px top and bottom
22:34 Guest17252 Can anybody give me a pointer how to use the RPi camera on the Hummingbord?
22:35 foresto coreyfarrell, have you closely examined your screen's resolution options? The language varies among TVs but many have a way to disable overscan. Aome examples are mentioned here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/4358/how-do-i-fix-overscan-on-my-hdmi-hdtv
22:39 coreyfarrell foresto: unfortunately my tv doesn't have any options to control the overscan. I tried telling the cubox to underscan but no success
22:39 foresto Bummer. Good luck.
22:40 coreyfarrell yeah one of the forums I read said if your TV does it use a different TV :(
22:52 foresto Some video cards (like nVidia's) include driver utilities that expose a way to compensate for overscan cropping. For the cubox-i, I imagine you'll want to talk to the people developing the linux video drivers.
23:57 foresto I haven no idea if those people (either within SolidRun or the open source community) are listening here. I'm new. :)
