| 10:26 | randomnickname | hello |
| 10:27 | randomnickname | i would like to know if the SR-uSOM-MX6-C1000QM-D2048-GE (MicroSOM i4Pro) is provided with a heatsink, when ordered together with HummingBoard Carrier Pro $36? |
| 11:29 | jnettlet | randomnickname, yes, all the microsom's now come with the red heat sink |
| 11:31 | randomnickname_ | jnettlet: thank you! |
| 11:31 | randomnickname_ | same heatsink as the i2-ex? |
| 11:32 | jnettlet | randomnickname, yes, there is only one heatsink |
| 11:32 | randomnickname_ | will it come pre-attached on the processor module, or packaged separately? |
| 11:32 | randomnickname_ | ok, cool, i am looking forward to using proper debian on arm! |
| 11:32 | jnettlet | pre-attached |
| 11:32 | randomnickname_ | raspberry pi is so slow |
| 11:33 | randomnickname_ | it would be better if the wiki was updated, though |
| 11:34 | jnettlet | we are working on a custom repo that has certain packages optimized for the iMX6 hardware. The announcement of availability should be out within the month |
| 11:34 | randomnickname_ | it still says that a custom heatsink is required for the i4 pro - i'm sure i'm not the only one who was wondering... |
| 11:34 | jnettlet | okay thanks will pass it along |
| 11:34 | jnettlet | randomnickname_, oh you are buying everything as separate pieces? |
| 11:35 | jnettlet | I will need to check how that is packaged one second. |
| 11:35 | randomnickname_ | i was doing as instructed by the wiki, i4 pro SoM with the hummingboard carrier |
| 11:37 | randomnickname_ | http://www.solid-run.com/wiki/MicroSOM_i4 |
| 11:37 | randomnickname_ | "To obtain the i4Pro together with a HummingBoard carrier board, order from the i4Pro Store Page, select the HummingBoard Carrier Pro from the carrier list, and related accessories. When ordered in this way, this MicroSOM will need a custom heatsink for heat dissipation." |
| 11:37 | jnettlet | I just asked for clarification. I know all the pre-configured HBs come with the heatsink. Although as pieces it might need to be added on as everything else is in pieces. |
| 11:38 | randomnickname_ | yeah, i understand |
| 11:38 | randomnickname_ | the documentation is unclear in this regard |
| 11:39 | jnettlet | yes, and that was written before SolidRun started shipping all HBs with heatsinks. Originally only the HBi2eX shipped with it. However we have optimized the software so much that at this point even the single and dual-lite variants can hit the thermal shutdown limit without a heatsink |
| 11:39 | randomnickname_ | ah, okay |
| 11:39 | jnettlet | if you can hangout on irc for a bit I will ping you when I get an answer |
| 11:40 | randomnickname_ | yeah, that's no problem |
| 11:40 | randomnickname_ | thanks so much |
| 11:40 | randomnickname_ | i don't mind if everything comes separate, i can do some basic assembly |
| 11:41 | randomnickname_ | but sourcing a heatsink is obviously going to be out of the question! |
| 11:42 | randomnickname_ | this is the case i have in mind for it: http://www.adafruit.com/product/859 |
| 11:42 | randomnickname_ | hopefully, it will look good on my desk! |
| 11:43 | jnettlet | okay just an fyi, the CarrierPro can have some fit issues with some cases because it has the mSATA port on the bottom. |
| 11:44 | jnettlet | generally you can just snip out some of the plastic and everything fits |
| 11:45 | jnettlet | that one looks like it should be fine. it is a flat bottom and there appears to be plenty of clearance |
| 11:47 | randomnickname_ | so, i could have http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820147316 in the slot and (let's say) a mPCI-e wifi card in the top mpci-e slot? |
| 11:48 | jnettlet | yes if you don't want to use the onboard wifi for some reason |
| 11:50 | randomnickname_ | this will be an expensive toy |
| 11:51 | randomnickname_ | hopefully it'll be okay with an iPad charger with all that power under the hoob |
| 11:51 | randomnickname_ | hood* |
| 11:53 | randomnickname_ | would you happen to know if the board supports the linux framebuffer so i can have 4 pretty penguins and a nice text console without X? |
| 11:53 | randomnickname_ | a youtube video of it booting debian appears to have the board displaying bootup kernel messages in something akin to 80x25 PC textmode |
| 11:54 | cbxbiker61 | i'm going to get a 3d printer so i can print up cool cases for hummingboard |
| 11:55 | randomnickname_ | great |
| 11:55 | Humpelstilzchen | randomnickname_: it has even xbmc on framebuffer |
| 11:55 | randomnickname_ | how much money are you going to sink into it? |
| 11:55 | cbxbiker61 | my 3d printer buyer's guide get's here tomorrow |
| 11:56 | cbxbiker61 | hard to say, i need to understand the options |
| 11:56 | randomnickname_ | Humpelstilzchen: I'm afraid i don't know much about XBMC :( |
| 11:56 | randomnickname_ | i'll be happy if it can run vlc well |
| 11:56 | randomnickname_ | i have many 1080p mkv's |
| 11:56 | cbxbiker61 | i think i want something that can do at least 6" |
| 11:56 | Humpelstilzchen | randomnickname_: probably not vlc, but gstreamer works |
| 11:57 | randomnickname_ | i'll have to see how well i can get acquainted with this linux thing |
| 11:57 | cbxbiker61 | i think i also want the option to do higher quality plastic |
| 11:57 | randomnickname_ | on a faaaaaast machine |
| 11:58 | randomnickname_ | else it'll end up being a plain ol' device for me to interface with serial consoles |
| 11:58 | jnettlet | randomnickname_, the iPad charger is generally a bad choice because they have iProprietary stuff in them so you need a special circuitry to get them to do the high speed charging. |
| 11:58 | jnettlet | that is if it is a real Apple one. |
| 11:58 | randomnickname_ | oh dear god :( |
| 11:58 | randomnickname_ | i'll have to buy an ugly, black thing |
| 11:58 | randomnickname_ | thanks for the heads up |
| 11:59 | cbxbiker61 | http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:47776 , that's a pretty cool looking case, we should be able to mod it for hummingborad and solid-run logo |
| 11:59 | randomnickname_ | thanks for making this rpi-form factor computer so i could use that cool case |
| 11:59 | randomnickname_ | i have a big thing for see-through cases |
| 12:00 | randomnickname_ | i bought a beaglebone black and the adafruit BBB case on a whim yesterday |
| 12:00 | randomnickname_ | cbxbiker61: i can't say i like that thing too much |
| 12:00 | jnettlet | I bought a handful of pICE cases since they were going out of business. I need to mod them up to work with my HBs |
| 12:00 | randomnickname_ | too much exposed parts |
| 12:00 | cbxbiker61 | i think we should do a case that has room for stackable hats |
| 12:01 | jnettlet | they are hefty little suckers |
| 12:01 | randomnickname_ | jnettlet: kudos to the heatsink being red |
| 12:02 | randomnickname_ | hardly find things with cool colors these days |
| 12:02 | cbxbiker61 | the coolest cpu cooler's that i remember where the coolers they used on the the dec alpha chips |
| 12:03 | randomnickname_ | how is the android support on the hummingboard? |
| 12:03 | randomnickname_ | how well is graphics acceleration supported, if it even is? :) |
| 12:03 | jnettlet | it getting better every day. |
| 12:05 | jnettlet | android 4.4.3 is running on it. I will probably start looking at lollipop later next week. |
| 12:06 | randomnickname_ | cbxbiker61: i happen to have an alpha machine kicking around |
| 12:06 | cbxbiker61 | does it have the spikey cpu cooler? |
| 12:06 | randomnickname_ | i have never seen bolted-on heatsinks on any other kind of processor |
| 12:08 | randomnickname_ | as a loyal apple user, i dislike samsung, so no odroid for me |
| 12:10 | cbxbiker61 | on that case i was looking at, they want a build surface of 7x7x3, so i guess that req gets added to my desirable list in a 3d printer |
| 12:10 | randomnickname_ | oh, you have't bought a 3d printer yet? |
| 12:11 | cbxbiker61 | i want to look at the ultimate buyer's guide first |
| 12:11 | cbxbiker61 | it only take a few days to get a printer, so i want to make an informed decision |
| 12:13 | cbxbiker61 | the normal range for 3d printers is $350-$3000, i'll probably be at about $600-$700 |
| 12:15 | randomnickname_ | not cheap at all |
| 12:16 | cbxbiker61 | the $350 model that i looked at does 4"x4"x4" |
| 12:17 | cbxbiker61 | a critical criteria for me is good open source support |
| 13:37 | randomnickname | hey jnettlet, you worked on the u-boot for hummingboard? :) |
| 13:39 | jnettlet | randomnickname, yep and the kernel |
| 13:39 | randomnickname | wow, that's so cool |
| 13:41 | randomnickname | would you happen to have any idea where the U-boot logo is defined for the cubox/hummingboard? |
| 13:44 | jnettlet | tools/logos/ |
| 13:45 | randomnickname | ah, there it is |
| 13:45 | randomnickname | shame on me for not reading the comments :) |
| 13:45 | randomnickname | thank you so much! i hope i'll be able to compile it all |
| 13:46 | randomnickname | when I buy a board, of course |
| 13:46 | randomnickname | now, i can't wait to throw my money at solidrun |
| 13:48 | randomnickname | unlike the linux kernel source tree, logos for Uboot seem to be scattered all over |
| 15:40 | randomnickname | jnettlet: does the hummingboard u-boot output through hdmi only, or can it be configured to do either hdmi or serial? |
| 15:41 | jnettlet | randomnickname, right now it does both by default. I still need to add a patch so it only enables hdmi output if it detects the output |
| 15:43 | randomnickname | sounds reasonable |
| 15:44 | randomnickname | let's say the board is connected to both hdmi and serial, will what i type on-screen appear magically on serial and vice versa? |
| 15:45 | jnettlet | in uboot yes, the console is multiplexed |
| 15:52 | randomnickname | thank you |
| 19:42 | topi` | which module do I need to modprobe to get the wifi working on hummingboard? |
| 19:43 | topi` | at least there's a small wifi antenna hooked up to something in the microSOM |
| 19:43 | topi` | but lsusb doesn't seem to contain anything wifi-related |
| 19:44 | topi` | I'm running jnettlet's 3.14.14+, freshly cloned |
| 19:56 | jnettlet | topi`, you probably need the bcm4330 firmware. the module is brcmfmac |
| 21:01 | R0nd | anyone running recent versions of kodi? |
| 21:01 | R0nd | I'm getting |
| 21:01 | R0nd | [WARN] VPU mutex couldn't be locked before timeout expired or get lock failure |
| 21:01 | R0nd | [ERR] Error: Unable to get mutex |
| 21:01 | R0nd | [ERR] IOSystemInit() failure. |
| 21:01 | R0nd | when trying to play any video, even ones that worked fine before |
