03:40 balrog does the cubox eSATA support port multipliers?
03:41 balrog rabeeh: FYI it seems this channel has lost its topic
05:20 mattwj2002 hi all! :D
05:20 mattwj2002 I just got my cubox for Christmas
09:12 topi` jnettlet: I believe this TyGL solution still requires working hardware GLES, which is a bit difficult with Vivante GPUs
09:12 topi` not as difficult as with Imagination, but nevertheless...
17:40 slacker27 Anyone here own a microSOM?
18:17 Exaga hi slacker27
18:17 slacker27 Hia Exaga
18:18 slacker27 How are you?
18:18 Exaga what are you looking for mate?
18:18 Exaga i'm good thanks. merry christmas. hope you are having a great time :>
18:18 slacker27 Wanted to find some power measurements on the microSOM / Hummingboards
18:18 slacker27 Yup, great break :) Merry Christmas to you also
18:18 Exaga ah... i have no info myself but i'm sure i've read something on the net about it
18:19 slacker27 Yeah, I've been searching and searching, only found one that said something like 500+mA
18:19 Exaga can i assume from your name you are a slackware user?
18:19 slacker27 Which one do you have?
18:20 slacker27 Yeah, I use Slackware
18:20 Exaga i have the hummingboard i2eX and i1
18:21 slacker27 Interesting, the i2eX has wifi?
18:21 slacker27 and microphone / stereo right?
18:21 Exaga i plug a usb wifi dongle into mine
18:21 slacker27 Ahh, thought the SOM has built in wifi?
18:21 Exaga and it has mic and stereo yes
18:22 Exaga mine is not enabled or used if it has
18:22 Exaga i think for an extra small fee you can have wifi and bluetooth enabled
18:23 Exaga something small like $10
18:23 slacker27 Ah okay
18:23 slacker27 Yeah, I'll def. be doing that
18:24 slacker27 is there anyway you can measure power on your board?
18:24 slacker27 like do you have a dc power supply or something
18:24 Exaga i use an apple ipad2 charger
18:24 Exaga 5v @ 2.1Amp
18:25 Exaga bought it from ebay for �10 approx
18:25 slacker27 gotcha
18:26 Exaga and it runs slackware very well
18:26 Exaga along with everything else
18:26 slacker27 what are you using it for?
18:26 Exaga i just need to find time to properly config the kernel
18:27 Exaga at the moment i'm using the 12eX for playing with debian
18:28 Exaga the i1 is setup as a build machine for slackware arm
18:28 slacker27 interesting
18:28 slacker27 I've used debian on embedded, it's really nice
18:28 slacker27 it takes quite a while to boot though, even a stripped down version
18:28 Exaga on debian i'm trying to dupe the system into running minecraft server
18:28 slacker27 ooo
18:28 Artox urgh
18:29 Artox minecraft on arm .......
18:29 Exaga ja
18:29 Artox I can imaging baking eggs on such a device
18:29 slacker27 haha
18:29 Exaga merry christmas Artox x
18:29 Artox you too Exaga
18:29 Exaga cheers!
18:29 Exag 18:29 * Exaga will drink to that
18:29 slacker27 xD
18:30 Exaga yes Artox minecraft on arm
18:30 Exaga not for the faint hearted
18:30 slacker27 Artox, which solid-run product do you have?
18:31 Artox hah, I am a lucky fellow
18:31 Artox got the cubox-i4pro myself
18:31 Exaga du hast ya 'ne macke
18:31 slacker27 oh nice
18:31 Artox my intention was to develop for my phone on a more powerful cpu and the idealistic hope to turn it into a full-feature desktop
18:31 Artox then I ported openSUSE
18:32 Artox and got a few hummingboards
18:32 slacker27 oooo
18:32 Artox to make sure they work too
18:32 slacker27 which hummingboards??
18:32 Artox i1, i2, i2ex
18:32 Exaga haha ye that's what i usually do
18:32 slacker27 I've been looking online to find out how much current they draw, even made a forum post.
18:32 slacker27 No luck so far
18:32 slacker27 >.>
18:32 Artox I can't tell you, I dont know
18:32 Artox and now I am working on getting chromium onto debian wheezy
18:32 Exaga isn't the recommended like a 5v @ 1.5A PSU?
18:32 Artox its a bitch
18:32 slacker27 I haven't seen a smaller SOM than the ones from humming board
18:33 Artox @Exaga, for the 1,2GHz quad + ssd they recommend a 3A device
18:33 slacker27 Oh interesting
18:33 Exaga k Artox
18:33 slacker27 I just need the microSOM + wireless, nothing else attached
18:33 slacker27 I can't imagine it drawing more than 300 mA
18:34 slacker27 @ 5V
18:34 Exaga the i1 perhaps a little more
18:34 Artox now, I'll be afk, grab some food and relax while chromium is building (may take something between 15 and 25 hours
18:34 slacker27 whoa whoa
18:34 slacker27 why are you building it on the device?
18:34 Exaga enjoy Artox. i'll drink to that \o/
18:34 slacker27 ; )
18:34 slacker27 see ya
18:35 Artox on quadcore hb its "only" ~14 hours
18:35 slacker27 you could cross compile it in 14 seconds xD
18:35 Artox no, thats not fun
18:35 Exaga approx. the same amount of time as a full slackware build on the raspi
18:35 slacker27 haha
18:35 Artox I dont even use debian
18:35 Artox now I am really gone
18:36 slacker27 bye
18:36 Exaga tot zo
18:37 slacker27 Could you see if the user guide has anything about power?
18:37 slacker27 For the hummingboard
18:38 Exaga http://www.solid-run.com/products/hummingboard/
18:38 Exaga have you looked there?
18:38 slacker27 Hmm yes, not sure if there are any specific documents that come shipped when buying the product
18:39 Exaga there's more on that site in the docs section than what you get with the device :>
18:39 Exaga http://www.solid-run.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/SolidRun_UM_HummingBoard.v-1-7.pdf
18:39 slacker27 ooo thank you
18:39 Exaga no probs
18:39 slacker27 have you seen the wandboard?
18:39 slacker27 they've got a SOM also, but it's HUGE
18:41 Exaga was looking at the odroid c1 eariler
18:41 slacker27 oh I almost forgot about them
18:44 Exaga right i'm off back to my bottle of JD and movie
18:44 slacker27 cool, have fun
18:44 Exaga enjoy your day. good luck with the search
18:44 slacker27 thank you
21:04 mactimes H, everyone. I've been trying to follow this (http://www.solid-run.com/archive/mw/index.php/Debian_netboot_installer) to install Debian on Cubox-i4pro, but it seems to hang when loading uImage. Any ideas?
