| 04:49 | Artox | I wonder if this one'd do a good job |
| 05:13 | Artox | its not touch |
| 05:13 | Artox | but its really small |
| 05:14 | Artox | and put on a stand, makes for a nice screen |
| 05:14 | Artox | (if not for working on it, but at least for entertainment and testing |

| 09:19 | RickHull | how much desktop resolution can the i4pro push via HDMI? is there any way to run 2 displays? |
| 09:22 | RickHull | ah, looks like 1920x1080 http://wiki.solid-run.com/MicroSOM_i4 |
| 09:26 | jnettlet | RickHull, by changing the clocking we can actually go up to 2560x1440. I haven't verified this on the CBi, but xobs has it running on his novena which is the same SOC |
| 09:29 | RickHull | ah, cool. how is it changed? |
| 09:45 | jnettlet | RickHull, This is for the drm driver, but basically just adding the proper pixel clock. https://github.com/xobs/novena-linux/commit/17ed10f9fb7eda1925d642dbed50dbed55889275 |
| 09:53 | RickHull | ah, I see. I'm running arch from about 6 weeks ago (via ignition) |
| 09:55 | RickHull | one product I'm interested in, maybe to produce somehow, is a good mechanical keyboard with an embedded SoC |
| 09:55 | RickHull | carry that around instead of a laptop, use local displays |
| 09:56 | RickHull | maybe be able to plug into your tablet or phone in a pinch |
| 09:56 | Arto | 09:56 * Artox votes for "Plug into tablet" |
| 09:58 | xobs | 2560x1440 is a bit slow, but it does work :) |
| 09:59 | RickHull | 30Hz? 1920x1080 runs at 60 right? |
| 09:59 | RickHull | or slow in terms of the GPU pushing more pixels? |
| 10:00 | RickHull | Artox: need tablets that support being used as external display, first :( |
| 10:00 | Artox | indeed |
| 10:00 | RickHull | or perhaps just use the kb/soc's bluetooth chip and present as bluetooth to the tablet's OS |
| 10:00 | Artox | thats why I am voting |
| 10:01 | Artox | else I'd jsut grab a hdmi->hdmi adaptor and plug the hb in |
| 10:03 | xobs | I don't have accelerated video working yet, so it's using software to draw 2560x1440. And also 1920x1080 to the internal LCD running on the LVDS ports. |
| 10:08 | RickHull | xobs: able to run both simultaneously? can both be accelerated? can cubox use LVDS? |
| 10:08 | malte | the cubox aint got a lvds port |
| 10:09 | RickHull | headers even? |
| 10:09 | jnettlet | HB only supports single channel LVDS so up to 720p |
| 10:09 | jnettlet | maybe 1440x900 if you push it |
| 10:09 | RickHull | i saw 1920x1200 somewhere |
| 10:09 | RickHull | here wiki.solid-run.com/MicroSOM_i4 |
| 10:10 | jnettlet | that is if you have dual-channel lvds setup. |
| 10:10 | RickHull | oh |
| 10:10 | jnettlet | the microsom can drive that but none of the current hardware supports it |
| 12:26 | MarcusVinter | jnettlet, Thanks for that. I'll give it a shot now :D |

| 12:57 | bedlore | Hi Guys |
| 12:58 | bedlore | I got a cubox-i4pro which may have an ethernet problem |
| 12:58 | bedlore | I loaded up openelec (5.0.2) and most boots no ethernet connection appears |
| 12:58 | bedlore | wifi works fine but is too slow of course |
| 12:59 | bedlore | how do I diagnose if the hardware is faulty? |
| 13:01 | bedlore | I suspect its over heating |
| 13:02 | dz0ny | bedlore: connect it to pc/router and observe ethernet port :) |
| 13:02 | bedlore | I let it cool down before restarting and now its working again |
| 13:02 | dz0ny | noramly two leds on router pc/blink |
| 13:02 | bedlore | when its not working there is no led activitiy |
| 13:03 | dz0ny | sounds like hw issue |
| 13:04 | bedlore | I read something about giga-speed issues, but that doesn't result in the interface dying all together right |
| 13:04 | dz0ny | yep |
| 13:04 | MarcusVinter | jnettlet, thank you very much. worked like a charm :) |
| 13:04 | dz0ny | bedlore: in any case, when it happens next time |
| 13:05 | bedlore | is their a command from CLI I can watch for errors or info |
| 13:05 | dz0ny | attach dmesg output |
| 13:05 | dz0ny | $ dmesg will output kernel errors among other things |
| 13:06 | bedlore | ok. so its working now, should I tail dmesg and make it work hard to see if it fails with a message? |
| 13:06 | dz0ny | if device goes poof it should display something there |
| 13:06 | dz0ny | mhm |
| 13:06 | bedlore | hmm, where does openelec keep the dmesg log, can't find it to tail |
| 13:06 | dz0ny | you enter dmesg :) |
| 13:07 | dz0ny | or /var/log/syslog i think |
| 13:07 | bedlore | nope |
| 13:07 | bedlore | oh maybe.. |
| 13:07 | bedlore | no, no syslog in openelec |
| 13:08 | dz0ny | I have no idea what openelec uses these days |
| 13:08 | dz0ny | sry |
| 13:08 | bedlore | probably just in memory |
| 13:08 | dz0ny | anyway dmesg is your friend |
| 13:11 | bedlore | CPU temp currently 43 C |
| 13:14 | dz0ny | hm thats normal i think |
| 13:14 | dz0ny | hell my HDD is hotter :D |
| 13:15 | bedlore | ok, can't get it to fail now :( |
| 13:15 | bedlore | maybe not putting on top of my amp is helping |
| 13:15 | bedlore | gets hot up there |
| 13:49 | jnettlet | MarcusVinter, excellent. Just let me know if there is anything else I can help out with. |
| 13:51 | MarcusVinter | Thanks buddy. I think we're almost there now, looking great :) |
