09:07 vpeter rabeeh: Use one of the self-extracting archive programs. Or one installer.
09:07 rabeeh vpeter: morning :)
09:08 vpeter morning.
09:26 rabeeh vpeter: i was looking for something like double click, point to mass storage device and click ok
09:27 rabeeh self extracting etc... is doable; but i want this to be super super easy for dummies to install ignition using ignition.exe
10:11 vpeter rabeeh: I think you will need to make one program for this. For example listing only USB devices like Win32diskimager does. Actually you can use one library for this but still needs to make the use of it.
10:17 vpeter btw: openelec needs this too :)
10:26 rabeeh :)
10:34 vpeter rabeeh: you probbaly seen this - http://kodi.wiki/images/thumb/d/d8/WeTek_Play_-_OpenELEC_installer.jpg/400px-WeTek_Play_-_OpenELEC_installer.jpg
10:38 dz0ny jsut hint https://rufus.akeo.ie/
10:38 dz0ny would be a nice start
10:39 vpeter Yes, Rufus is great.
11:19 vpeter rabeeh: Do you know what CONFIG_HAVE_IMX_GPC does? Or why is needed.
11:53 rabeeh rufus looks like a nice start
11:54 rabeeh vpeter: GPC stands for general power controller
11:55 rabeeh responsible for processor power enable/ldo, dvfs and other goodies
11:55 vpeter I see it is not enabled in default configurations.
11:56 rabeeh CONFIG_HAVE_IMX_GPC=y
11:56 rabeeh OE build
11:56 vpeter Only for OE.
13:08 dv_ CONFIG_HAVE_IMX_GPC=y
13:08 dv_ is this enabled in a newer 3.14.14 kernel version in github?
13:15 rabeeh dv_: https://github.com/SolidRun/linux-imx6-3.14/blob/linux-linaro-lsk-v3.14-mx6/arch/arm/mach-imx/Kconfig#L802
13:15 rabeeh GPC is auto selected when using imx6
13:16 rabeeh so it's not explicitly enabled; but when using imx6 CONFIG_HAVE_IMX_GPC=y
13:18 Artox Greetings everybody!
13:19 dv_ rabeeh: okay. the OE meta-fsl-arm-extra recipe is at this commit: https://github.com/SolidRun/linux-imx6-3.14/commit/4a2f77e014b8cdd10af1aac0db40f582be027f51
13:19 dv_ judging from the commit dates, I guess the Kconfig change is included
13:19 rabeeh hi Artox
13:20 Artox Hi rabeeh
13:20 rabeeh Germany?
13:20 Artox no
13:20 rabeeh Australia?
13:20 Artox its Western Australia now
13:20 rabeeh what time is it now?
13:20 Artox 20:21
13:20 dv_ Artox: btw no pressure from that guy I told you about. he's using arch now.
13:21 Artox ok, dv_
13:21 Artox so I maj ust doing a regular software update on the obs now
13:21 dv_ yeah
13:21 Artox and delay jessie for a few days
13:21 dv_ btw. arch is using kernel 3.14.33
13:21 Artox I only just now imported my ssh keys to the chromebook
13:21 dv_ anybody here knows whats up with that?
13:21 dv_ a fork of solidrun's 3.14.14 ?
13:23 jnettlet dv_, they insist on pulling in the latest LTS patches on top of it
13:24 jnettlet if people approach me with kernels like this I tell them I can't help them until they test with our official kernel
13:32 Artox that reminds me: any eta on the next kernel, jnettlet? 2 months, 1?
13:32 jnettlet Artox, end of this month is where I am at now
13:32 Artox okay
13:32 Artox not bad then
13:32 jnettlet I will have a test kernel by the end of this week
13:32 Artox I do look forward to it
13:32 Artox (but my testing facility is still not set tup)
13:33 Artox will it feature the imx-drm?
13:33 Artox the one compatible with rmk's driver?
13:33 jnettlet oh you brought a HB with you?
13:34 Artox I brought my cubox
13:34 Artox and a hb
13:34 jnettlet eventually yes, but it will live in a separate branch
13:34 Artox but I still need to get myself access to a screen, and a keyboard
13:34 Artox thiose things are bulky
13:35 Artox some testing will be required before pushing the new vivante drivers to the public repos
13:35 jnettlet should have gotten one of those small 7" hdmi screens to travel with
13:35 Artox and I intend to get ubuntu properly supported
13:35 Artox oh
13:35 Artox well, I still can get one of those I guess
13:35 Artox since I never had any such thing
13:35 jnettlet Artox, I am still trying to sort out a somewhat manageable unified library system for that mess
13:36 Artox I see
13:36 jnettlet really I would just bring an HDMI cable around with you and plug it into the nearest TV you can find
13:36 Artox well
13:37 Artox I need to also carry the power supply, an ethernet cable, a keyboard
13:37 Artox the nearest tv actually is in the community tv room
13:37 Artox and if it is *only* for testing, I can most probably use that
13:38 Artox like, imagine me sitting in there staring fourously at the screen and typing wildly
13:38 Artox while other people may watch tv
13:38 Artox want to*
14:09 django wonder if the liliputs would work OOB
14:09 django USB screens
14:09 django 7" touch panel
14:09 django 2 usb's no power adapter
