02:19 el8 some1 there?
05:38 MrDragon04 Hello People of the Internet
05:54 el8_ sup
12:40 rabeeh https://www.npmjs.com/package/node-red-node-hbgpio
12:43 Humpelstilzchen echo on /sys to complicated?
12:47 rabeeh that's node red
12:47 rabeeh and turns out that echo to /sys is complicated :)
12:48 curlymo I can't seem to download the source of node-hbgpio
12:49 curlymo http://dcj.dtdns.net/npms/hbgpio.tgz is dead
12:52 rabeeh yeah
12:53 curlymo you probably know why i want to look at the source ;)
12:59 rabeeh yeah
12:59 rabeeh we will see if it's using wiringX
13:03 curlymo then the node should also support the bananapi and radxa natively
14:10 malte @curlymo : https://github.com/node-red/node-red-nodes/tree/master/hardware/HummingboardGPIO
14:13 jnettlet eeww that is ugly. Why did they not wrap the WiringX library?
14:17 curlymo how awesome :D
14:18 curlymo glad they indeed didn't put my name on it :)
14:18 jnettlet I will probably wrap it soon as I do a bunch of stuff in node
17:51 ElmerFudd I've compiled a 3.14.14 kernel and running ubuntu 14.04 - I'm wondering how I can get hold of the vivante userspace drivers? - I'm surprised they are not available through solidrun. - I want to run kodi on it amongst other things.
17:52 Artox ElmerFudd: they are mad available by freescale
17:52 Artox there are also packages fpr debian wheezy
17:52 Artox the problem with ubutnu 14.04 is that xorg is too new
17:52 Artox but if you are fine with framebuffer mode, you can just use the drivers
17:53 Artox www.freescale.com/lgfiles/NMG/MAD/YOCTO/gpu-viv-bin-mx6q-3.10.17-1.0.1-hfp.bin
17:53 Artox thats the binary pakcage that works with our current 3.14 kernel
17:54 ElmerFudd nice
17:54 ElmerFudd I have working X on my sabrelite board with boundarydevices drivers in 14.04 - so they must exist somewhere
17:55 ElmerFudd thanx though, kodi runs in fb, so it is a start
18:08 ElmerFudd Artox: I'm trying to figure out the system here, it's the 1.0.1 part that indicates what version the kernel is compatible with?
18:09 Artox no
18:09 Artox the 3.10.17 one indicates it
18:09 Artox you need to check galcore module of freescale 3.10.17 reference kernel
18:09 Artox trhen you know
18:40 topi` jnettlet: I studied the GPT partitioning scheme, and it seems it's possible to build a GPT in such a way that the HB can boot off of it (requires GPT support in UBOOT)
18:41 topi` the GPT spec *recommends* placing the part table into sector #2 (whereas the Header is in #1 and a semi-regular MBR is at #0)
18:41 topi` but you can give another sector offset for the part table, so it can be after SPL + UBOOT
18:42 topi` and, there's a backup parttable at the end of disk, as well (if the CRC doesn't match)
19:01 topi` jnettlet: what compilation options do you use for SR's UBOOT? is the GPT enabled?
19:02 jnettlet topi`, as best as I know there is no specific compile options for GPT. The support is always enabled
19:04 topi` I'll chekc
19:04 topi` check :)
19:04 topi` I can try to boot my auto-generated image on the board
19:04 topi` as soon as I get to work :)
19:05 jnettlet topi`, let me know if it doesn't work and I can look into it
20:43 njk33 hello found a raspberry pie copycat type mini arm pc today but the thing that was interesting is they offer download of ubuntu 14.04 that supposedly runs quite wellhttp://forum.odroid.com/viewtopic.php?f=112&t=5234&start=360
20:44 njk33 any chance its compiled close enough to run on cubox hardware they are supposedly running it with graphic acceleration working fine
20:47 nkj33 here is the product linkhttp://www.hardkernel.com/main/products/prdt_info.php?g_code=G141578608433
