| 07:42 | topi`_ | jnettlet: what kind of setup do you use for compiling the uboot for hummingboard? do you have the repo somewhere handy? |
| 07:43 | topi`_ | I guess the same kind of compiler setup which works for compiling kernels, works for uboot? |
| 07:45 | jnettlet | yes |
| 07:45 | jnettlet | just don't add any -j options or it will fail. |
| 07:46 | jnettlet | u-boot bug that I don't care about fixing because it isn't much code to compile anyways |

| 11:12 | malte | https://obs.gbps.io/package/show/BSP:Cubox-i/u-boot-cubox-i |
| 15:11 | WarheadsSE | that's a wierd bug to have with -j failing @ uboot |
| 15:16 | jnettlet | not really uboot is not the definition of quality |
| 15:17 | jnettlet | compare uboot with barebox or coreboot and you will see it is the difference between night and day |
| 15:29 | vpeter | It doesn't always fail with -j :) Sometimes it even compiles everything. |
| 15:30 | jnettlet | great even worse |
| 15:30 | jnettlet | nothing like a lack a consistency when building your boot loader |
| 15:34 | vpeter | It's just one more variable when things doesn't work as they supposed to :) |
| 17:43 | wrexem | Does anyone know who manages that apt repo that Igor uses? |
| 17:44 | wrexem | http://repo.gbps.io I think |
| 17:47 | wrexem | I think the libvpu-imx6 stuff on there is marked as the wrong version somehow. Anything that depends on it keeps crying about it being version 1, but if I dpkg --ignore-depends it works fine. |
| 18:34 | wrexem | For anyone wondering, I got mopidy/gmusic working on my hummingboard. |
| 18:34 | wrexem | It's really quite freaking awesome. :D |
| 18:34 | wrexem | Open an app on my android phone, target the hummingboard, it logs into gmusic and lists songs etc that I have there... |
| 18:34 | wrexem | hit queue, play, whatever -> plays on the headphone jack. |
| 18:35 | wrexem | Kinda like a Sonos box |
| 18:35 | wrexem | cept awesomer. |
| 18:35 | wrexem | I also got flexget/transmission working really well :D |
| 18:40 | jnettlet | would love a wiki page :) |
| 18:51 | wrexem | I'm definitely going to put it on the "show off your project" page |
| 18:51 | wrexem | Once I get a few things ironed out, like that repo needing ignore-depends |
| 18:51 | wrexem | I send a message to Catwich already |
| 18:53 | jnettlet | great! thanks |
| 18:55 | wrexem | Out of sheer curiousity, has anyone benchmarked a Pi 2 vs the dual hummingboard? |
| 18:58 | wrexem | Looks like someone did on this random site here |
| 18:59 | jnettlet | nope. the a9 is generally 20-50% faster for cpu operations than the a7. HB has faster memory. For single threaded ops the HB is probably faster, for fully multithreaded they are probably even if the threading is heavily optimized |
| 18:59 | wrexem | Is the HB using arm9? |
| 18:59 | wrexem | This guy has it listed as A7 |
| 19:00 | wrexem | wait. nm. |
| 19:00 | jnettlet | the iMX6 is a Cortex-A9 the Pi2 is Cortex-A7 |
| 19:01 | wrexem | Excellent. Is there any plan to bump the microSOM upward sometime? |
| 19:02 | jnettlet | probably just as soon as I am finished optimizing this one :P |
| 19:02 | wrexem | I don't mean to rush anything :D |
| 19:02 | wrexem | I really like the HB; I bought a dual, mSata, buncha random pieces and parts |
| 19:03 | wrexem | I have all the pieces to put a PCIe full height card on it, lol |
| 19:03 | wrexem | Did you ever get video capture card working, malte? |
| 19:04 | malte | never tried it |
| 19:05 | wrexem | I bought a pi2, gonna use that in my basement similarly to the HB that lives in the living room |
| 19:07 | wrexem | I'm also going to design a case with a slot for a fan, and design a fan-from-usb boost circuit to give me 12v off the spare USB pins. :D |
| 19:08 | wrexem | How much draw could I get off the internal pins, amp-wise? |
| 19:08 | wrexem | I kinda looked for the answer a while ago but I didn't really get a great answer |
| 19:09 | jnettlet | wrexem, for the HB? |
| 19:09 | wrexem | yeah I have I2ex |
| 19:10 | wrexem | They're 5V but I need 12, so boost circuit required |
| 19:10 | jnettlet | as much extra as you have from your 5Volt PSU |
| 19:10 | wrexem | oh, nice, it's pin-direct? |
| 19:10 | wrexem | Sweet |
| 19:10 | wrexem | My friend actually is working on a kickstarter for a 12v boost circuit, from USB |
| 19:11 | jnettlet | there is some basic regulation circuitry |
| 19:13 | jnettlet | wrexem, I have a run a HB with an iMX6dl off the USB port of my HBi2eX :) |
| 19:13 | wrexem | nice |
| 19:13 | jnettlet | It is kind of like the Hummingboard centipede |
| 19:13 | wrexem | is that the quad core part? |
| 19:14 | wrexem | I find it difficult to shop on solidrun : / |
| 19:14 | jnettlet | that is the dual-core SOC with the gc880 GPU |
| 19:18 | wrexem | So it's better/faster than the i2e? |
| 19:18 | wrexem | i2ex? |
| 19:19 | jnettlet | the i2ex is the fastest bundled combo for the HB. You can separately buy a Pro Carrier, and a Quad Microsom |
| 19:19 | wrexem | (I think I have the pro carrier already, right? All that's left is the quad som) |
| 19:20 | jnettlet | correct. Yes you can buy a the iMX6Q som with 2GB of RAM and pop it on. |
| 19:20 | jnettlet | then if you want you could buy a base carrier and put your iMX6D on that |
| 19:20 | jnettlet | the base carrier lacks the mSATA and mPCIe |
| 19:20 | wrexem | Dang, I didn't realize it had a whole extra GB ram |
| 19:21 | wrexem | is the gc880 a smaller gpu than the GC2000? |
| 19:22 | jnettlet | yes. Draws less power but is also slower |
| 19:22 | wrexem | Currently, I have my HB plugged into my buffalo linkstation's USB port. |
| 19:22 | wrexem | And that's enough to get by. It did reboot when I plugged in headphones though |
| 19:22 | wrexem | And I'm not using the HDMI either, so maybe the gpu is just napping |
| 19:23 | wrexem | I topped out the proccessor though, according to HTOP |
| 19:23 | jnettlet | yeah, the GPU shuts off if it isn't in use |
| 19:23 | wrexem | htop, top, w/e |
| 19:23 | jnettlet | well the biggest draw on the processor is NEON instructions. |
| 19:23 | jnettlet | running cortex-a9 cpuburn will definitely cause a reset |
| 19:24 | wrexem | idk what amps is provided by the linkstation's USB |
| 19:24 | wrexem | I'll try it though :D |
| 19:24 | wrexem | is that in an apt package? |
| 19:26 | jnettlet | I doubt it. https://github.com/ssvb/cpuburn-arm |
