| 08:44 | Artox | Greetings everybody |
| 08:44 | Artox | I have been wondering if people are using small touchscreen-displays for their cuboxes or hummingboards. Can anyone suggest a cheap screen that works, and is useful to some degree? |
| 08:51 | rabeeh | Artox: hi |
| 08:51 | rabeeh | Malte is here with me; he says Igor has an SPI display that is working fine for him |
| 08:51 | rabeeh | but this would be an unaccelerated display for sure (and probably small) |
| 09:03 | Artox | hmm |
| 09:03 | Artox | I was looking more for a general-purpose screen |
| 09:03 | Artox | best to attach by hdmi just to be sure it works |
| 09:03 | Artox | sincde I am here without my computer screen now, there is no way I can use the cubox |
| 09:04 | Artox | and instead of buying a computer screen, why not buy something else, like a tablet pc kind of screen |
| 09:04 | Artox | rabeeh, so weekend is over for you? |
| 09:04 | Artox | (mine just started) |
| 09:04 | Artox | had too much to do yesterday |
| 10:33 | rabeeh | Artox: weekday here :) |
| 10:33 | rabeeh | http://www.solid-run.com/blog/%E2%80%8Bvisit-solid-run-arrows-booth-stand-hall-5-booth-351-m2m-area/ |
| 10:34 | rabeeh | i'm going to Germany tomorrow; anyone will be in embedded world? |
| 10:57 | jnettlet | Artox, I was thinking about trying one of these for mobile testing. http://febon.blogspot.com/2014/08/febon198-usb30-uvc-hdmi-grabber-card.html |
| 10:59 | jnettlet | it basically turns the hdmi signal into a dvb-t broadcast so in theory v4l2 should be able to play the signal in a tv tuner app |
| 10:59 | Artox | oh |
| 10:59 | Artox | nice |
| 11:00 | Artox | I dont see it work with a chromebook though |
| 11:00 | jnettlet | now I haven't tested this yet, but I figured it would be useful for traveling |
| 11:00 | Artox | but who knows, maybe chromeos will do dvb-t some day |
| 11:00 | Artox | yes, for sure |
| 11:00 | jnettlet | do you have crouton installed? |
| 11:00 | Artox | no |
| 11:00 | Artox | too much hassle |
| 11:00 | Artox | or that what I thought last time I used it |
| 11:01 | jnettlet | now it is pretty simple. and you can have the X-server displayed in a chrome window |
| 11:01 | jnettlet | so you can have chrome apps and your linux desktop side by side |
| 11:01 | jnettlet | it is called xiwi |
| 11:01 | Artox | sounds great |
| 11:02 | Artox | maybe I will try dvb-t soon then |
| 11:02 | jnettlet | yeah for dev work I generally have chromeos on my chromebook screen and then have linux running on my big monitor |
| 11:02 | Artox | got a stick with me |
| 11:02 | Artox | I was planning to get it working with the cubox |
| 11:04 | Artox | "If USB3.0 is NOT intel, the bandwidth may not sufficient." |
| 11:04 | Artox | seriously |
| 11:11 | jnettlet | lol |
| 11:13 | jnettlet | Artox, you can look around at other products. These are popping up all over since videogame broadcasting has become so popular |
| 11:15 | Artox | I see |
| 11:15 | Artox | well, reading up on this xiwi now |
| 11:16 | Artox | do you know if the lates croutons actually use the mali drivers to accelerate opengl-es? |
| 11:28 | jnettlet | now, the mali drivers only support a single X server per kernel driver |
| 11:28 | Artox | oh |
| 11:28 | jnettlet | so it is unaccelerated |
| 11:29 | jnettlet | you wouldn't want to run that with xiwi right now because the rendering to web page is not superfast |
| 11:29 | jnettlet | good enough for copying and pasting and such, but I wouldn't run games through it |
| 14:04 | Artox | okay, so the next issue is: how to install firmware files on a chromebook |
| 14:04 | Artox | into the readonly filesystem |
| 14:08 | fritsch | /storage/.config/firmware/ |
| 14:09 | Artox | Oh |
| 14:09 | Artox | thanks, fritsch |
| 14:09 | fritsch | you have to create that directory |
| 14:10 | Artox | o I have to create /storage? |
| 14:10 | Artox | oh noes |
| 14:10 | Artox | it does not exist |
| 14:10 | Artox | and / is read-only |
| 14:10 | Artox | yay |
| 14:10 | fritsch | mkdir -p /storage/.config/firmware |
| 14:10 | fritsch | ... |
| 14:10 | fritsch | you know what you are doing, do you? |
| 14:11 | Artox | usually |
| 14:11 | Artox | but on the chromebook I am never sure |
| 14:11 | Artox | and, yes, / is read-only |
| 14:11 | Artox | mkdir complains |
| 14:11 | Artox | there is no /storage |
| 14:11 | Artox | bin debugd dev etc home lib lost+found media mnt opt postinst proc root run sbin sys tmp usr var |
| 14:11 | Artox | not anything else |
| 14:11 | Artox | but I could remount |
| 14:12 | Artox | as far as I see it |
| 14:12 | fritsch | ouh, we are not in the openelec channel |
| 14:12 | fritsch | :-) |
| 14:12 | fritsch | forget it |
| 14:12 | fritsch | i have no idea what you are doing then :-) |
| 14:12 | Artox | okay |
| 14:12 | Artox | thanks anyway :) |
| 14:12 | Artox | remounting doesnt work |
| 14:12 | Artox | it says, disk is write-protected |
| 14:12 | fritsch | then most likely the disk journal is beyond repair |
| 14:12 | Artox | they are so awesome at locking absolutely everything up |
| 14:13 | fritsch | who is "they"? |
| 14:13 | Artox | Samsung / Google |
| 14:13 | fritsch | ah okay |
| 14:22 | Artox | okay, I give up. No DVB in chromeOS |
| 14:22 | Artox | so until I get my favorite OS booting again, I'll halt this project |
| 20:33 | vpeter | What I need to change in cubox-i kernel config to get /sys/devices/platform/imx-uart.0/tty/ttymxc0/power/wakeup ? I'm checking Suspend-to-RAM mode on it. |
| 20:38 | vpeter | Actually I don't know how to resume it. |
