| 00:25 | rabeeh | forums and wiki are temporarily down for maintenance |
| 00:26 | rabeeh | they will be back in 8 hours |
| 06:27 | cbxbiker61 | raspberry pi is now supporting dtb overlays like the beaglebone black |
| 06:39 | balrog | hey all, I'm getting this error very rarely |
| 06:39 | balrog | > fec 2188000.ethernet eth0: MDIO read timeout |
| 06:40 | balrog | however it brings eth0 down and then I can't get into the box unless I connect over serial and bring eth0 backup |
| 06:40 | balrog | back up* |
| 06:41 | balrog | rabeeh: ^ |
| 06:42 | balrog | would that be caused by, say, a bad cable? |
| 06:43 | cbxbiker61 | i'd say that's a possibility, I don't see it on my 3.14.xx kernels |
| 06:45 | balrog | it's extremely rare |
| 06:45 | balrog | I'm running 3.14.29-2-ARCH (i4pro) |
| 06:46 | cbxbiker61 | i haven't heard anyone else complain, and like i said, i've had no issues |
| 06:47 | cbxbiker61 | what's i connected to? |
| 12:32 | MarcusVinter | Wheres the Wiki gone? |
| 12:45 | malte | wiki forum currently offline - server change |
| 12:58 | MarcusVinter | Ah.. |
| 12:59 | MarcusVinter | Any idea when it will be back up? |
| 13:13 | MarcusVinter | Is Jon ill or have some time off? i haven't seen him in a while... |
| 14:05 | tvideovi_ | hi curlymo |
| 14:56 | MarcusVinter | Hey malte, do you know when the Wiki will be back up? Is there a mirror? |
| 14:56 | MarcusVinter | I just need a pge from it. |
| 14:57 | MarcusVinter | Actually don't worry about it. I found a cached version on google. |
| 16:02 | MarcusVinter | Can anyone tell why compiling u-boot is failing? I don't have enough experience myself to work it out. http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=matxk3U9 |
| 17:31 | MarcusVinter | Anyone/ |
| 17:35 | MarcusVinter | brb |
| 18:24 | rabeeh | MarcusVinter: hi |
| 18:44 | MarcusVinter | Hey rabeeh! |
| 18:49 | MarcusVinter | Did you read my above message? I'm probably missing something obvious but I can't figure it out. |
| 19:31 | rabeeh | MarcusVinter: how did you configure it? |
| 19:32 | rabeeh | looks like you didn't choose a board |
| 19:32 | MarcusVinte | 19:32 * MarcusVinter facepalms |
| 19:33 | Exaga | rabeeh: o/ |
| 19:33 | MarcusVinter | I followed the steps on here: http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:q1WzUauHbfAJ:www.solid-run.com/wiki/index.php%3Ftitle%3DBuilding_the_kernel_and_u-boot_for_the_CuBox-i_and_the_HummingBoard+&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=uk&client=ubuntu |
| 19:33 | Exaga | malte: o/ :D |
| 19:33 | MarcusVinter | It didnt mention selecting the board :P |
| 19:34 | rabeeh | make mx6_cubox-i_config |
| 19:34 | rabeeh | make |
| 19:34 | MarcusVinter | i ran those commands. |
| 19:34 | rabeeh | hmm... i just tried it on my machine and builds |
| 19:35 | Exag | 19:35 * Exaga thinks rabeeh knows what he's doing :P |
| 19:35 | MarcusVinter | Oh I noticed it returned this twice when running the first command "/bin/bash: arm-linux-gcc: command not found" |
| 19:35 | rabeeh | oh :) |
| 19:35 | rabeeh | Exaga: thanks for the compliment |
| 19:36 | rabeeh | i just have too many scars on my back |
| 19:36 | Exaga | rabeeh: i told you to stay away from CentOS |
| 19:36 | Exaga | or should i say "CantOS" :D |
| 19:37 | MarcusVinter | Do you know the cause of those errors? I have gcc-arm-linux-gnueabi and arm-linux-gnueabi |
| 19:37 | MarcusVinter | I just replaced CentOS with Ubuntu to make it easier to get the above packages :P |
| 19:38 | Exaga | MarcusVinter: you are cross-compiling? |
| 19:38 | rabeeh | he is |
| 19:38 | MarcusVinter | Yeah, trying to build u-boot. |
| 19:38 | rabeeh | export CROSS_COMPILE=/usr/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf- |
| 19:38 | rabeeh | ^^^ that's in my case |
| 19:39 | rabeeh | that's what probably is missing |
| 19:39 | Exaga | MarcusVinter: if Linux disributions were lavatorial entities then CantOS would be the toilet seat, in my opinion. |
| 19:39 | MarcusVinter | I ran that too rabeeh :( |
| 19:39 | rabeeh | do you have a /usr/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc |
| 19:39 | rabeeh | ? |
| 19:39 | MarcusVinter | Exaga, Jon recommended it, haha. |
| 19:40 | MarcusVinter | Yes I do. |
| 19:40 | MarcusVinter | ^ rabeeh |
| 19:40 | rabeeh | ok; lets do it from the beginning then |
| 19:40 | rabeeh | make distclean |
| 19:40 | rabeeh | export CROSS_COMPILE=/usr/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf- |
| 19:41 | rabeeh | make mx6_cubox-i_config |
| 19:41 | rabeeh | make |
| 19:41 | rabeeh | and you should get the SPL and u-boot.img files |
| 19:42 | rabeeh | and you are using this git - https://github.com/SolidRun/u-boot-imx6.git |
| 19:42 | rabeeh | right? |
| 19:42 | MarcusVinter | Yeah. I think I see the problem, although I dont understand it... |
| 19:42 | MarcusVinter | Its because I sudo'd it. |
| 19:42 | Exaga | rabeeh: git clone ~dah dah dah ? |
| 19:42 | MarcusVinter | I just noticed if I dont run as root it complies. |
| 19:42 | MarcusVinter | compiles* |
| 19:43 | rabeeh | MarcusVinter: why are you running as 'root'? |
| 19:43 | MarcusVinter | It worked! I now have my u-boot.img |
| 19:43 | Exaga | gratz MarcusVinter |
| 19:43 | rabeeh | are you trying to swap grub with u-boot? :) |
| 19:43 | MarcusVinter | I'm running as Marcus, but I sudo'd it . |
| 19:43 | Exaga | rabeeh: HAHAHAHA! |
| 19:43 | MarcusVinter | no haha |
| 19:43 | Exaga | MarcusVinter: using root user is never a good idea on any linux system |
| 19:43 | MarcusVinter | I know :P |
| 19:43 | Exaga | only use root when you REALLY need it |
| 19:43 | Exaga | ja |
| 19:44 | MarcusVinter | I only ran as root because I thought it might run into permissions problems, in this case, it caused more problems. haha |
| 19:44 | Exaga | i wrote some bash scripts to do all this for me when i was compiling Slackware |
| 19:44 | Exaga | it automates the process and leaves no room for errors |
| 19:44 | Exaga | maybe you might think along the same lines |
| 19:44 | MarcusVinter | Do you know why it wont find the compiler when I run as root? Are the Env Vars per user? |
| 19:45 | Exaga | you were marcus user and sudoing to root and running the command? |
| 19:45 | MarcusVinter | yeah |
| 19:45 | Exaga | that might be why it fails |
| 19:45 | MarcusVinter | but I added the Env Vars as Marcus without sudo |
| 19:45 | MarcusVinter | That makes sense now :P |
| 19:45 | MarcusVinter | Thanks. |
| 19:45 | Exaga | you *could* as a test "sudo su -" and then run it |
| 19:46 | Exaga | but it's not avised now you have it working |
| 19:46 | MarcusVinter | Its all compiling now, should be good :D |
| 19:46 | Exaga | advised* |
| 19:46 | Exaga | ja good work |
| 19:46 | MarcusVinter | I'm going to replace the solid-run logo with our logo and set it to fullscreen on the bootloader. hehe |
| 19:46 | MarcusVinter | 8 bit bitmap |
| 19:47 | Exaga | you have a hummingboard or cubox? |
| 19:47 | MarcusVinter | Just so it looks more professional for clients. |
| 19:47 | MarcusVinter | I have all of them, lol But in this case Cuboxi-2U ( the first run with WiFi) |
| 19:47 | MarcusVinter | Mines rare I think. |
| 19:47 | Exaga | well good luck with whatever your projects are |
| 19:48 | MarcusVinter | Project is basically a thin client, but thanks :D |
| 19:48 | MarcusVinter | Its for the company I work for. |
| 19:48 | Exaga | solidrun have brought me more fun and experience than i ever had with the raspi |
| 19:48 | MarcusVinter | Yeah, raspi has nothing on a cubox-i, haha. |
| 19:49 | MarcusVinter | Ive got most boards here you can think of. |
| 19:49 | MarcusVinter | hackberry, beaglebone black, raspis, cubieboard, wandboard, and a lot of custom ones. |
| 19:49 | Exaga | i favour the hummingboard. fascinating things they are |
| 19:50 | MarcusVinter | Ive got one of those too :D Not had chance to play with it yet, but I might take it home :D |
| 19:50 | Exaga | i remember back to the early 80's on my sinclair zx81... and i look at things now |
| 19:50 | Exaga | makes me giggle |
| 19:50 | MarcusVinter | Kossay recommended the hummingboard. |
| 19:51 | Exaga | the stuff we all saw watching star trek in the 80's... some of it is now a reality |
| 19:51 | MarcusVinter | I'm not old enough to have had the pleasure of seeing that board. :( |
| 19:51 | MarcusVinter | I saw a sinclair zx81 at a local museum though. haha. |
| 19:52 | MarcusVinter | Did you put it together yourself? |
| 19:52 | Exaga | i bet i could still program on one |
| 19:52 | MarcusVinter | Some things you never forget :P |
| 19:52 | Exaga | in fact i used a BASIC emulator a few years ago for a C64 |
| 19:52 | Exaga | yeah i learned eraly in life |
| 19:52 | Exaga | early |
| 19:52 | Exaga | so it seems to have stayed with me |
| 19:53 | Exaga | anyways... bbiab :> |
| 19:57 | MarcusVinter | you going? |
| 19:57 | MarcusVinter | I've gotta run too. |
| 19:57 | MarcusVinter | Thanks rabeeh, thanks Exaga. I'll resume tomrrow. Take care. |
| 21:02 | redstars | what happened to the cubox forums? |
