08:21 fritsch argh
08:21 fritsch that was the wrong window, sorry
11:59 vpeter Maybe I ask already but can't hurt again: does exist any in-circuit sd card reader/writer? So you can program sd card without taking it off target device?
12:26 rabeeh vpeter: no - typically micro sd cards needs to be taken off and flashed outside
12:26 rabeeh in case of HummingBoard and CuBox-i when inserting a blank micro SD then it won't be able to boot from it; so it will USB OTG boot where afterwards the micro sd card can be flashed
12:33 django https://dev.windows.com/en-us/featured/raspberrypi2support
12:33 django Technically this should be possible for Cubox devices as well.
12:36 Bluerise django: Technically yes, the question is how.
12:37 Bluerise django: Even though I'm not particularly a Windows fan, it would be great if MS opened it up a tiny bit so more platforms could be supported. But I doubt that.
12:37 django Yeah, hopefully they'll make it open source, but it's microsoft so I have my doubts.
14:00 vpeter rabeeh: Seems I will have to make such device myself. Already knows how :)
14:03 tvideovi hi rabeeh: will sr release updated Jessie with vivante drivers for vpu acceleration?, thx
14:11 TrojanHorse tvideovi: you on about jessie again?
14:12 TrojanHorse btw, what was required to get cec working?
14:12 TrojanHorse just installing the library?
14:19 tvideovi sorry if my interest frustrates you - I am looking for a base os that supports the hardware capabilities of cubox as advertised - i believe sr should supply it but working with others is ok too
14:20 R0nd cec works on xbian out of the box btw
14:20 TrojanHorse R0nd that does not explain whats required to make it work
14:20 tvideovi as for cec - I program it directly so needs may be different but yes Xbian supports it via libcec and sr via freescale drivers
14:20 malte only the libs
14:22 tvideovi the freescale driver is lightweight and good for simple command interface while libcec and cec-client are very large and complete based on Pulse-Eight design
14:23 tvideovi cecc-client is more accepted across builds and hw while freescale is designed for imx6
14:24 tvideovi TrojanHorse: how do you want to use cec
14:25 tvideovi also do you disagree that sr should provide lts base distros that unlocks the full hw capability?
14:27 tvideovi to be clear cec-client is part of Xbian
17:58 TrojanHorse tvideovi: my intention is to just add the missing pieces so people can use it
17:58 TrojanHorse as I probably made clear earlier, my intention is to get all the missing parts packaged and integrated properly into debian
18:29 hello2 Hello, I have a question about HummingBoard: i.mx6 supports Serial Download Protocol (SDP). This allows to boot in 'serial downloader mode'. Is this possible for HumminbBoard/CuBox-i? (ref: http://trac.gateworks.com/wiki/ventana/serial_downloader)
19:07 Exaga rabeeh: :P
19:07 rabeeh here
19:07 Exaga looks like the Raspberry Pi foundation say the hummingboard i4Pro and decided to do something about their shit hardware
19:07 Exaga evening rabeeh
19:08 rabeeh :)
19:08 Exaga the raspberry pi 2 must be using the same CPU as the hummingboard
19:19 Exaga no it uses a broadcom bcm2836 cpu
19:19 Exaga quad core 900Mhz
19:27 Exaga malte: hi o/
19:27 Exaga du hast ya 'ne macke :D
19:29 MarcusVinter Does anyone know the minimum order quantity to have a custom logo on the casing? As well as custom colours.
19:30 malte ohla
19:30 malte Marcus, pm
19:54 metrem hi anybody can access to http://www.solid-run.com/community/ ?
