| 00:32 | cheywood | Hello, is anybody awake here? I was hoping to get some tips on distributions for the original Cubox |
| 17:15 | topi` | jnettlet: I tried to create a hybrid MBR w/ GPT, and so far so good, UBOOT can see the boot partition and load the kernel from it, but it seems the loadscripts have difficulties because I formatted boot as ext4, not msdos |
| 17:15 | jnettlet | topi`, yes uboot can't read ext4. only msdos or ext2 |
| 17:15 | topi` | I tried to use printenv to see what those bootscript really did, but so far I don't see why "load" cmd would not recognise the partition as ext4, because it does work if I type in those "load" commands manually... |
| 17:16 | topi` | then, why can I load the kernel with "load" command? |
| 17:16 | topi` | I could also read my uEnv.txt just fine |
| 17:17 | topi` | and there's "ext4ls" which just works |
| 17:17 | jnettlet | topi`, right. I forgot I added that later. |
| 17:17 | jnettlet | sorry this is stuff I haven't dealt with in months |
| 17:19 | topi` | :) |
| 17:21 | topi` | I tried booting manually with "bootm" but that failed, it said cannot boot Unknown OS image (0) |
| 17:21 | topi` | this must be because it was expecting an uImage and I loaded a zimage |
| 17:21 | jnettlet | are you using a uImage? |
| 17:21 | topi` | no, zimage |
| 17:21 | topi` | the zImage works if I let it run the boot scripts provided with the jessie image |
| 17:22 | topi` | I believe a lot of magic is happening in "bootit" |
| 17:22 | jnettlet | okay. but if you just put a zImage and the .dtbs in the mmc0:1 partition they should just be autodetected and run |
| 17:22 | topi` | yep |
| 17:22 | topi` | but, it did *not* detect the ext4 format |
| 17:22 | topi` | it tried to interpret the partition as ext2 |
| 17:22 | topi` | maybe I'll just switch over to ext2, less pain that way :) |
| 17:23 | topi` | I tried msdos first, but something really weird kept happening and after unmounting the losetup'ed partition, it ceased to be recognised as MSDOS partition |
| 17:23 | topi` | it must be some kind of a bug in losetup or loopback device or msdos or whatever.. but the bug went away when I switched to "mkfs.ext4" instead of "mkfs.msdos" |
| 17:24 | topi` | what I'm trying to achieve: Automated image creation (so that actual deployment on field is just a dd command invocation) |
| 17:24 | topi` | or we just mass format the SD cards. |
| 17:37 | topi` | have you seen rabeeh around? I'd like to ask him if there's any possibility to get a microSOM+baseboard Pro that would be wholly compatible with industrial range (-40..+80C) |
| 17:37 | topi` | and if it is, how many boards do we need to order at once :) |
| 17:39 | jnettlet | topi`, Friday is the weekend in Israel. rabeeh is off |
| 17:40 | jnettlet | topi`, I think all the SOC's that they are using are industrial grade. I think the CuboxTV is the first commercial grade SOC |
| 17:42 | topi` | ok :) |
| 19:33 | Darkitty | Hi |
| 19:33 | Darkitty | i have a problem, someone can help me ? |
| 19:39 | crazystick | only if you tell us what it is ;-) |
| 19:45 | Darkitty | I can not have a xbmc works on my Hummingboard, i have tried geexbox and openElec but neither work |
| 19:46 | Darkitty | i'm go to try archlinux |
| 19:46 | Darkitty | i have the i2eX model |
| 19:47 | crazystick | I use arch, but headless. I think that you can use Ignition to install openElec |
| 19:47 | Darkitty | i have tried but no work |
| 19:47 | Darkitty | the screen freezes on logo |
| 19:49 | crazystick | 'fraid I can't help you then. |
| 19:49 | curlymo | try the latest xbian version |
| 19:49 | Darkitty | ok |
| 19:49 | curlymo | running fine here on a HB |
| 19:49 | Darkitty | ok |
| 19:50 | Darkitty | with the dd command to flash the file ? |
| 19:50 | curlymo | linux desktop? |
| 19:50 | Darkitty | yes but can i go to windows to |
| 19:50 | curlymo | if you are on linux you can test the installer |
| 19:51 | curlymo | i know it works on windows, but didn't test linux |
| 19:51 | curlymo | http://sourceforge.net/projects/xbian/files/installers/ |
| 19:52 | Darkitty | ok thanks i go to try whith this |
| 19:53 | Darkitty | what version do i choose ? |
| 19:53 | Darkitty | cubox-i ? |
| 19:54 | curlymo | yes |
| 19:54 | Darkitty | ok thanks |
| 19:57 | curlymo | i assume you are flashing now? |
| 19:57 | curlymo | curious for the result |
| 19:58 | Darkitty | installing in progress |
| 20:02 | Darkitty | ok i plug the sd card and now it shows "starting xbmc" |
| 20:03 | Darkitty | it rebbots |
| 20:04 | curlymo | did you install the 04-12-2014 image? |
| 20:04 | Darkitty | yes |
| 20:05 | curlymo | Does it stay in a reboot loop? |
| 20:05 | Darkitty | ok, reboot again after show starting sbmc |
| 20:05 | curlymo | and you get the same result for all distro's you tried? |
| 20:07 | Darkitty | no, on openelc freeze on logo and geexbox tell me don't have graphical acceleration i believe |
| 20:07 | curlymo | video through HDMI? |
| 20:08 | Darkitty | yes |
| 20:09 | curlymo | Try this. Start XBian w/o HDMI cable. Wait until you can connect to the HB with SSH. Then connect the HDMI cable. Check the network light to make sure you're not in the reboot loop again. |
| 20:09 | Darkitty | ok |
| 20:09 | curlymo | brb |
| 20:10 | Darkitty | ok |
| 20:10 | Darkitty | thanks |
| 20:18 | Darkitty | i have Connection refused when i try to connect with ssh |
| 20:23 | Darkitty | well, he reboot yet |
| 20:24 | curlymo | how wierd |
| 20:24 | curlymo | did you try a different SD card? |
| 20:24 | curlymo | different PSU? |
| 20:25 | Darkitty | psu ? well, i don't kwon if i have a different sd card |
| 20:25 | curlymo | is that the PSU you got with the HB? |
| 20:25 | Darkitty | no |
| 20:26 | Darkitty | a usb cable |
| 20:26 | curlymo | from were? |
| 20:26 | curlymo | TV? |
| 20:27 | Darkitty | from a AC adaptator |
| 20:28 | curlymo | how many amps? |
| 20:28 | Darkitty | i means 1A |
| 20:29 | curlymo | try an adapter of at least 2A |
| 20:29 | Darkitty | hum |
| 20:30 | Darkitty | i go to try to find one :) |
| 20:49 | curlymo | did you find one? |
| 20:51 | Darkitty | nope |
| 20:51 | Darkitty | i have only 1A |
| 20:52 | curlymo | good chance that's the issue |
| 20:52 | Darkitty | but i tried to install xbmc to arch |
| 20:52 | Darkitty | *i'm trying |
| 20:57 | curlymo | solidrun also offers 2A PSU's in combination with the Hummingboards |
| 21:01 | Darkitty | yes but i think a usb cable is good |
| 21:03 | curlymo | ofc, but the amps are too low |
| 21:05 | Darkitty | and, it is possible the cause ? |
| 21:05 | curlymo | could well be |
| 21:05 | Darkitty | ok |
| 21:06 | Darkitty | i have a failure too when launch xbmc on arch |
| 21:06 | curlymo | cause XBMC uses a lot of CPU power when it starts and therefor probably using more power |
| 21:08 | Darkitty | ok, i to to try with another adaptator and tell you the result |
| 21:08 | curlymo | and please test XBian to thank me :) |
| 21:09 | curlymo | would it be the solution of course... |
| 21:12 | Darkitty | ok i go to format the sd card and retry with a new power |
| 21:17 | cbxbiker61 | 1A power supplies can't handle the load when the GPU kicks in. |
| 21:18 | Darkitt | 21:18 * Darkitty hug curlymo |
| 21:18 | Darkitty | thanks a lot |
| 21:18 | Darkitty | it is work with xbian |
| 21:18 | Darkitty | ok |
| 21:19 | Darkitty | i go to buy a new power tomorow because all stores are closed now |
| 21:31 | Darkitty | thank again and good bye |
