| 00:20 | Joshua__ | I've had this cubox for about a year, and recently it randomly stopped booting, even when i put in the original android sd that i used once, the problem im seeing is, it doesnt seem to get past the first bootloader, i tried using the unbricking methods and my linux pc sees it as a usbserial device and all, but when i screen to it or try to transfer the file via Xmodem it just hangs even if i push the reset button, plug the power and r |
| 00:21 | Joshua__ | i honestly only used this thing 4 times out of that year and it just poofed stopped working. |
| 11:50 | deuter | jnettlet: on 3.10.17 too ? |
| 11:52 | jnettlet | deuter, the driver is included on 3.10.17 but we did not find it stable. It allows lower power consumption for encryption but you actually get better performance with the NEON accelerated AES in the 3.14 kernel. |
| 11:53 | jnettlet | I do want to backport the hwrng driver that just landed upstream. That will help for headless servers |
| 13:28 | deuter | jnettlet: now I use 3.17 with ported by me hdmi support, vivante nd opencl from 3.10.31 |
| 13:29 | deuter | I have problem with asrc but I dont need it |
| 13:30 | deuter | I have caam on 3.17 too but it is unstable too |
| 13:31 | deuter | jnettlet: btw thanks for your answer |
| 13:38 | topi` | rabeeh: does Hummingboard-i1's usb wiring differ from the quad SoM's layout? if I want to plug in a -i1 into a Pro baseboard, does the 3G modem still work? |
| 13:38 | topi` | since 3G modems don't use actual PCIe, but just USB signalin |
| 13:41 | jnettlet | topi`, should be fine |
| 13:47 | topi` | jnettlet: I thought so. I'll proceed and order some more boards :) |
| 13:48 | topi` | it's quite telling that I've gone through a dozen different SBC's and SoM solutions and for now, the Hummingboard seems best suited for our purposes (and is decently priced) |
| 13:48 | topi` | the only nitpick is that the mPCIe slot is only half height :( |
| 13:49 | jnettlet | topi`, well as you can tell rabeeh ran out of room |
| 13:49 | topi` | is it so that in order to have the mSATA slot functional, one has to get the quad-core variant of the SoM? |
| 13:49 | jnettlet | it is amazing how many ports and connectors he managed to fit on there |
| 13:50 | topi` | true |
| 13:50 | jnettlet | for the mSATA you need the iMX6D or Q |
| 13:50 | topi` | so, the Dual works OK if it's not the DualLite version? |
| 13:51 | jnettlet | yes, that is how it is packaged. the HBi2eX is the pro carrier with the iMX6D |
| 13:51 | jnettlet | which is probably the best suited chip for thermal and power consumption in this form factor |
| 13:59 | rabeeh | topi': i'v sent you PM yesterday |
| 13:59 | rabeeh | i'll connect you to operations to figure this out |
| 14:05 | rabeeh | as a notice; most (if not all) of the gsm modems i'v seen that are pcie actually use the usb interface that is found on the mini pcie interface |
| 14:06 | rabeeh | very little uses native pcie to connect (I think only the newer LTE M.2 interface base really uses pcie) |
| 16:45 | topi` | rabeeh: all of the modems we've tested are just using the USB pins of the mPCIe connector. |
| 16:45 | topi` | I see you responded to my email |
| 19:52 | staylor | Do the fellows working on supporting the 3.14 i.MX6 kernel hang out in here? |
| 19:53 | iCEBrkr | Looks like there's a lot of hang'n out... :P |
| 19:54 | staylor | Ha, emphasis on the "out" ;-) |
| 19:54 | iCEBrkr | :P |
| 19:57 | jnettlet | fellows? that will upset the female developers. |
| 19:58 | jnettlet | it has been a bit quiet this week. The quiet before the storm |
| 20:21 | staylor | Is fellow gendered? In that case people working on... |
| 20:27 | iCEBrk | 20:27 * iCEBrkr . o O ( guhhh. gamergate ) |
| 20:59 | staylor | Does anyone know if the beta v5 drivers from vivante are working with the cubox 3.14 kernel now? |
| 21:21 | Artox | staylor: they are not part of our 3.14 kernel |
| 21:22 | Artox | but they are compatible to the hardware in general |
| 21:22 | staylor | Artox: okay thanks, is it something being worked on now or waiting for their official release in january? |
| 21:22 | Artox | no. I think jnettlet decided to stay on v4.x |
| 21:25 | staylor | Artox, okay thanks, so is jnettlet the main person working on this? I was hoping to get some insight into the DMA buffer handling of these drivers, specifically looking for a way to backdoor buffers into OpenCL do do something similar to the DirectVIVMap in OpenGLES drivers. |
| 21:28 | Artox | probably, staylor |
| 21:37 | iCEBrkr | PRobably off topic here. but what's the deal with not being able to pair the PS3 Bluray remote in android. :-S |
| 21:38 | iCEBrkr | Even had to sort of muck with it via CLI in Linux. But it eventually worked. |
| 21:50 | cjori | Hi, anyone around with a bit of electric know-how? Specifically, I'm having trouble wiring up a relay to my hummingboard |
| 21:53 | cjori | here's my issue: I bought this relay board, connected it up to my hummingboard, and when I switch its gpio pin, I see the red LED turning off/on and there's a click, but it never closes/opens its circuit pins |
| 21:54 | cjori | so I'm just wondering if I'm doing something incorrectly or this relay is malfunctioning |
| 22:00 | iCEBrkr | Simplify things a bit. |
| 22:00 | iCEBrkr | Put your multi-meter across the relay. |
| 22:00 | iCEBrkr | See if it's open/closed. |
| 22:00 | iCEBrkr | cjori: *poke* incase you're not looking :P |
| 22:02 | cjori | iCEBrkr: oh, sorry. Indeed I needed that poke :P |
| 22:02 | iCEBrkr | :D |
| 22:02 | cjori | Not sure how they're called, but I'm connecting to the two lower pins, and their closed all the time |
| 22:03 | iCEBrkr | Nothing else hooked up but power? |
| 22:04 | cjori | hmm actually I haven't tried that |
| 22:04 | cjori | one second, will do |
| 22:11 | cjori | iCEBrkr: alright, using now just power to the relay, the circuit is closed with the lower pin, and opened with the upper one |
| 22:12 | cjori | (same as having no power at all, btw) |
| 22:12 | staylor | cjori: you can measure current draw to flip that relay, possible it's more than the gpio can provide. |
| 22:14 | iCEBrkr | Good point |
| 22:16 | cjori | this is the relay board I bought http://www.ebay.com/itm/131180133709?_trksid=p2059210.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT |
| 22:17 | cjori | staylor: thanks for the advice, but I don't have the necessary tools to check that :( |
| 22:18 | iCEBrkr | So you can apply power to the relay and you can hear it click? |
| 22:19 | cjori | yes |
| 22:19 | cjori | oh, wait, I think I solved it! |
| 22:20 | cjori | I just used a different gpio pin on the hummingboard |
| 22:20 | cjori | and it now works |
| 22:20 | cjori | gpio72 didn't work and gpio1 does work |
| 22:22 | cjori | thank you all for your time :D |
| 22:22 | iCEBrkr | np |
