07:16 topi` what kind of cases are ppl using in their HB's? Especially the Pro baseboard, which is higher (has a mSATA connector in the bottom)
07:20 jnettlet topi`, I think rmk found a case that works well with the pro. I will ping him and see if I can get the link.
07:21 cbxbiker61 sunfounder has a pi case that has an acrylic top/bottom and is open on all sides, you would just have to drill a few mouting holes in the bottom for the hb, it's pretty cool looking and should have no problem with heat
07:30 topi` we need a case that can somewhat protect from dust
07:31 cbxbiker61 there's a 3d printed case for the hummingboard on one of the 3d sites, it's only open at the heat sink
07:32 cbxbiker61 best bet would be to have one of the online sites print some up for you
07:33 cbxbiker61 i tried to print it but my fit wasn't quite right, i may try again now that i have a heated printer bed
07:38 cbxbiker61 there's also a 3d printed case that's only open on the usb end for the pi2 that could be modded, i like that case too, but i think the hummingboard's heat output may be to high for a fully enclosed case
07:48 cbxbiker61 http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:496637/#comments
07:48 topi` we'd probably change the heatsink for a heatspreader and then just thermally throttle the cpu
07:52 jnettlet topi`, are you using the mSata and mPCIe slots?
07:54 jnettlet hmmm no access to the 24-pin header with that case
07:56 cbxbiker61 jnettlet, it's relatively easy to remove material from an existing 3d design once you've got a handle on some of software tools
07:56 topi` mPCIe is on the upper side, so no problem with that
07:56 topi` mSATA we probably won't need, if we order a batch with a soldered-in eMMC instead of the SD card slot
07:56 jnettlet topi`, yes but do you use them? Why not just get the normal board?
07:57 topi` we have a use case for the mCPPCIe
07:57 topi` mPCIe
07:57 topi` i'm in a train so there's laaaag
07:59 jnettlet I guess it depends about volume. Removing the mSata connectors can be done with a soldering iron and some patience.
08:01 jnettlet eMMC won't be much faster than UHS-I sdhc cards
08:01 jnettlet you just need to buy good sdhc cards.
08:02 jnettlet there are industrial grade, but I think those are mostly a rip off :) I haven't seen the test numbers on them.
08:03 cbxbiker61 from my experience with sandisk, i'd consider them industrial grade
08:03 jnettlet they can't stand the temps to be industrial. But their performance is acceptable
08:04 jnettlet Their DDR50 cards get sequential read transfers up to about 34MB/s
08:06 cbxbiker61 the extreme plus is a great card, tested with a kingston usb3 adapter they hit their spec
08:09 cbxbiker61 http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:685074
08:09 cbxbiker61 thats the pi 2 slide in case
11:02 topi` my old samsung chromebook from 2012 has a 16 GB eMMC and I can read 60MB/s off of it
11:02 topi` 50-60
11:03 topi` has rabeeh been around?
11:03 topi` I haven't seen him on IRC for ages
11:04 Artox pretty sure hes around
11:04 Artox but busy(TM)
11:06 malte i dont think today
11:17 topi` I was consulting a client who wants to build a custom ARM board for a specific purpose and quite possibly pushed him to consider a Hummingboard solution instead
11:17 topi` but he wants soldered-in MMC and not a SD card.
11:17 topi` rabeeh would know if it is possible.
11:20 Arto 11:20 * Artox imagines using glue
11:22 jnettlet topi`, possible with the existing board, or a custom spin?
11:23 jnettlet in theory it is possible, but you would be forced to use the usb2go recovery interface to boot and flash an image to the eMMC device
11:25 Artox I suppose you cant just load u-boot over serial?
11:25 Artox like on omap devices?
11:25 topi` or over usb?
11:26 Artox as far as I know usb is pretty hard to implement and usually to huge for the SoCs initial startup code
11:26 Artox thats why some just implemented the ability to load next stage over serial
11:27 jnettlet Artox, nope
11:27 Artox too bad
11:28 Artox I like that feature
11:28 jnettlet the only fallback is usb2go
11:28 Artox imagine even doing it by IR
11:28 Artox real fun
11:28 Artox was planned for my phone, but never working
11:28 Artox they did sth wrong but I have no plan what
11:28 jnettlet usb2go is the fallback serial interface
11:29 jnettlet you just need the proper connector
11:30 Artox if I was the developer I'd probably be fine with that
11:36 jnettlet Artox, you can use that now. Boot without an SDHC card and a usb2go cable plugged into your computer
12:04 Artox jnettlet, I wasn't aware
12:04 Artox sounds pretty easy
12:04 topi` what kind of a cable is a "usb2go" cable? is it the same as USB OTG?
12:05 topi` many android devices are flashed with a USB OTG cable
12:05 topi` you first put the device to fastboot mode, then connect USB OTG, and then fire up the flashing tool and give the device some power
12:10 jnettlet yes same thing. USB OTG is the official name and at some point android started calling it usb2go. I think that was basically for drivers.
12:41 zrasim Hello! I am trying to capture analog video signal using adv7180 (1 lane MIPI CSI) using SolidRun hummingboard. OS - Yocto(http://wiki.solid-run.com/Yocto). Kernel 3.14.14, from SolidRun's git repo. I found mxc_capture section in kernel's menuconfig, but it depends on deprecated v4l2-int-device, witch is moved to staging for future removal (https://github.com/SolidRun/linux-imx6-3.14/commit/a03636cb21af1d22a894a5a863b2ba3c3687da63).
12:42 zrasim but on community forum i found threads about adding support of new cams, like rpi cam. But don't found any suggestions how can I make them work
12:43 topi` jnettlet: do you have any uboot binaries for me ready? :)
16:17 rabeeh topi`: here
16:18 rabeeh zrasim: there?
16:18 zrasim yes
16:21 zrasim trying this https://github.com/n-aizu/linux-linaro-stable-mx6 kernel, look like some commits are reverted in this repo. At least now i see /dev/video0 device
16:22 zrasim now, if I am right i need to modify device tree to add adv7180 to it
16:23 rabeeh yup
16:23 rabeeh how did you wire adv7180 to HummingBoard?
16:24 rabeeh i'm looking at it's specs but can't find any MIPI stuff
16:24 rabeeh http://www.analog.com/media/en/technical-documentation/data-sheets/ADV7180.pdf
16:26 zrasim ops, sory, my bad... ADV7280
16:26 zrasim ADV7280-M
16:27 rabeeh ok
16:28 rabeeh how did you connect it? wires or custom board?
16:28 zrasim EVAL-ADV7280M + wires
16:28 zrasim + hummingboard ofc
16:29 rabeeh i'm assuming xtal is onboard and not the reference clock from i.mx6 - right?
16:29 rabeeh 28.63636mhz
16:30 rabeeh so as you mentioned; i suggest starting with aizu kernel since he has the mipi patches integrated into the kernel
16:30 rabeeh and then you would need to write your own kernel module addition and the device tree specific things
16:34 zrasim i hope i can do this via modifying of one of existing sensor drivers, like ov5640
17:58 vpeter There is no analog audio output on OpenELEC 5.0.5. Any idea how to fix that?
18:07 vpeter sorry, wrong window :(
18:56 Exaga malte_: :D
20:22 malte_ Exaga
20:35 Exaga hey there malte
21:50 Exaga rabeeh: need to speak to you about Slackware ARM on Ignition :>
