| 04:59 | _dab_ | according to http://www.solid-run.com/product/cubox-i4pro/ Israeli clients get 2amp rather than 3A. Anyone know why? |
| 05:04 | deniska | regulations? |
| 08:01 | ReadError | hello everyone |
| 08:01 | ReadError | recently got a hummingboard, guess its similar to the cubox.. |
| 08:01 | ReadError | what linux distro has the best support currently? |
| 08:03 | django | Depends what you want to do |
| 08:05 | ReadError | video capture, I need to compile in the AD7280 driver |
| 08:05 | ReadError | basically analog in to CSI-2 |
| 08:06 | django | Are you going to be playing video on the same device? |
| 08:06 | ReadError | yea replaying |
| 08:06 | django | I guess any of the debian versions should do. |
| 08:06 | ReadError | oh okay, i couldnt find much as to the status of whats working and whats not |
| 08:07 | django | There are some guidelines on the forums on how to get HW accel to work. |
| 08:07 | ReadError | I use rhel/centos at work so I was thinking fedora would be most native |
| 08:07 | ReadError | but it says 3d and 2d arent really that great yet |
| 08:07 | ReadError | I need the HW encoding support too.. |
| 08:08 | django | Afaik encoding is software based on the cpu |
| 08:08 | django | if you're not using dedicated hardware for encoding. |
| 08:09 | django | I encode lots of h264 myself using desktops/clusters. |
| 08:09 | ReadError | well the freescale cpu supports it apparently |
| 08:09 | ReadError | and the board apparently does according to the solidrun site |
| 08:10 | django | Well, thats above my head. Haven't got to play around much with my boxes yes. |
| 08:10 | django | Was going to try to capture and encode mpegts streams. |
| 08:22 | jnettlet | django, nope the VPU supports encoding h264/mpeg4/mjpeg |
| 08:22 | django | hmm |
| 08:25 | django | jnettlet: Do you think it would be able to handle 1080i50? |
| 08:27 | jnettlet | it maxes at 1080p30, it may be able to do more once we have finished the 352Mhz support integration. |
| 08:28 | ReadError | jnettlet so do you have any experience with using the hardware encoder? |
| 08:28 | jnettlet | really I wouldn't recommend encoding anything as interlaced format. Decode it to progressive and then encode it. |
| 08:28 | jnettlet | ReadError, yes |
| 08:29 | ReadError | is there any preference to distribution? |
| 08:30 | jnettlet | not really. SolidRun is mainly supporting debian right now. |
| 08:31 | ReadError | http://download.solid-run.com/pub/solidrun/cubox-i/Debian/Jessi-repackaged-trial/ |
| 08:32 | ReadError | this one pretty stable? or is there another source I should use? |
| 08:32 | django | Looking forward to see what that 352MHz clock can do, we have some 1080p50 studio recordings that would be nice to realtime encode. |
| 08:33 | jnettlet | ReadError, it is okay but we are still working on integrating Jessie into our new Build Server. Currently all the new packages are only being built for Wheezy |
| 08:35 | ReadError | http://www.igorpecovnik.com/2014/08/19/cubox-i-hummingboard-debian-sd-image/ |
| 08:35 | ReadError | this image then? wheezy |
| 08:36 | django | ReadError: Use ignition? |
| 08:36 | django | It pulls of github |
| 08:36 | django | Well, more or less. |
| 08:36 | ReadError | hm I tried that with fedora |
| 08:36 | ReadError | but it went to 100% instantly and just sat for 35 mins |
| 08:36 | ReadError | ill try again though |
| 08:36 | django | Have had no problems with ignitions and wheezy |
| 08:37 | django | takes about 5 minutes (depending on your connection). |
| 08:37 | ReadError | yea im guessing it hung, ill re-try with debian now |
| 08:39 | jnettlet | ReadError, it didn't hang. That status is about downloading the content and then it can take some time to write the image to sdhc. The slower the sdhc the longer it can take |
| 08:39 | ReadError | ahh good, this one started at 0% and I enabled debug ;) |
| 08:39 | ReadError | its a pretty fast samsung card |
| 08:39 | ReadError | 15% at 45seconds for debian |
| 08:45 | ReadError | hmm it was almost done then it rebooted, "Bad Linux ARM zImage magic!" |
| 09:01 | ReadError | cool 2nd time worked |
| 10:08 | ReadError | hmm |
| 10:08 | ReadError | seems im having some stability issues |
| 10:08 | ReadError | installed the vpu stuff from the forum post, launched chrome, right after i hit enter (after typing in youtube.com) it crashed |
