13:44 dz0ny anyone with uboot knowledge :)?
13:57 dz0ny I'am wondering where ramdisk_addr comes from in mx6_cubox-i.h
13:58 dz0ny because for me trying to load zimage... loading fails with ** Unable to read file auto **
14:19 dz0ny nevermind figured it out
14:20 dz0ny and snappy is booting :)

15:02 dz0ny if anyone want's to try
15:03 Artox may I ask
15:03 Artox what is snappy?
15:04 vpeter ubuntu?
15:04 Artox yet another ubuntu?
15:04 Artox or just the latest?
15:04 vpeter different one :)
15:04 Artox .........
15:04 Artox you know, I am building an ubuntu image right now too
15:05 Artox but I chose to go with multistrap
15:06 dz0ny coreos like ubuntu build
15:06 Artox ah
15:06 dz0ny 2 root partitions with separated writable one
15:06 dz0ny for easy rollback :)
15:07 Artox do you use/need any kernel or uboot packages?
15:07 dz0ny delta upgrades etc
15:07 dz0ny yep custom kernel with apparmor patches
15:07 dz0ny and custom uboot
15:07 dz0ny uboot needs fat writing support
15:08 Artox Oh
15:09 vpeter dz0ny: What exactly is the purpose of this distro?
15:11 Artox dz0ny: I was jsut wondering if you could make use of proper .deb packages of e.g. u-boot, kernel, firmware files
15:11 Artox but since oyu need to modify kernel and uboot
15:11 dz0ny idempotent builds :)
15:11 Artox you probably dont
15:13 django http://www.ubuntu.com/cloud/tools/snappy
15:13 dz0ny and this is frontend http://www.ubuntu.com/things
22:24 CovertOps how do i map gpio pins that aren't already mapped to /sys/class/gpio?
22:25 CovertOps for example, i need to manually toggle usb pwr on gpio-86
22:25 CovertOps is that even possible?
22:28 CovertOps i have an external hard drive on the usb that keeps locking up and not going to sleep on its own. drops off the device list when i try to access it and a reboot doesn't reset it. seems i just have to unplug it and plug it back in
22:29 CovertOps if i can do that without physically unplugging it that would be great
22:29 CovertOps right now i have gpio1 controlling an optically-isolated triac to flip it on and off, but its default state is off and had to add some extra scripts in rc.local with delays that make bootup time a bit too long
22:30 CovertOps if i could just cycle the power to the usb whenever i notice it's locked up, that would be great
22:30 CovertOps anyone around to help?
22:30 CovertOps rabeeh_, ?
22:41 Artox [22:24] how do i map gpio pins that aren't already mapped to /sys/class/gpio?
22:41 Artox I think you do it with devmem or devmem2
22:41 Artox http://www.solid-run.com/community/topic1571.html#p11957
22:41 Artox this probably answers as close as possible
22:42 Artox I jsut remembered that thread, wont be able to help you with the specifics though
22:42 Artox and I think oyu need to stare a few datasheets down available at www.solid-run.com/products/ ...whatever
22:43 curlymo @CovertOps, i've asked this two weeks ago to @rabeeh and @jnettlet, but they were looking into it
22:43 curlymo didn't hear from them :)
22:45 fritsch curlymo: what did your tests reveal?
22:46 curlymo i will contact YOU when i did :)
22:47 fritsch curlymo: ah, so no more polling?
22:47 fritsch :p
22:47 curlymo believe me, it's on my list
22:48 fritsch hehe
22:48 curlymo we did have some progression
22:48 curlymo i had no issues on Raspberry Pi 2
22:48 fritsch you removed an alsa patch that harmed?
22:49 curlymo i meant no issues in regard to flac
22:49 fritsch okay
22:49 curlymo and mk01 had issues with ffmpeg as well
22:50 fritsch there was an ancient ALSA patch in the builds
22:50 fritsch that broke 24bit audio
22:50 fritsch never seen that code before :-)
22:50 fritsch hopefully it's dropped now
22:50 fritsch I did not see it when looking through github or I had warned before
22:51 fritsch https://github.com/xbianonpi/xbian-package-xbmc/blob/master/patches/AEfixes-01.patch <- can be dropped
22:52 fritsch such small values put a whole lot pressure on audio engine
22:52 fritsch fixed that in the sink, it's in 14.0
22:52 curlymo can you do a pull-request or can i give you direct access?
22:52 curlymo then mk01 will join the discussion
22:53 fritsch nope, I already told
22:53 curlymo and mk01 agreed?
22:53 fritsch i don't care :-) he knows that the patch is wrong
22:53 fritsch but (!) the good thing is, the path the patch codes, is not taken anymore
22:54 fritsch https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/blob/master/xbmc/cores/AudioEngine/Sinks/AESinkALSA.cpp#L820
22:54 fritsch see
22:54 fritsch :-)
22:54 fritsch i go into fragmented mode
22:55 curlymo let's continue in #xbian
22:55 fritsch curlymo: ouh, wrong channel - sorry :-)
22:55 fritsch that was not intended
