10:10 mk01 jnettlet: are you building xbmc on master or isengard branch ?
10:12 jnettlet mk01, I was building the branch you created for my patchsets.
10:13 jnettlet should I be dumping them?
10:17 mk01 if you managed the messeger thing then fine. I thought I updated it correctly for the messenger rebrand in v16, but obviously not (as I do not compile master). ... I somehow assumed you will go master, no idea why.
10:18 jnettlet mk01, I can backport the changes needed. Unfortunately this was a passing test and didn't have too much time to look into it.
10:18 mk01 anyhow beside that messenger interface change there should be no other relevant difference (to the code we are changing)
10:18 jnettlet okay perfect. I will get that sorted out then. Thanks for clarifying.
10:19 mk01 if it is time consumer for you, give me 1h - I will update it and run compile run
10:19 mk01 (to test)
10:20 mk01 have time until 13h
10:20 jnettlet mk01, don't worry about it. It was just because I was trying to test quick before traveling. Now that I am settled I can give it another go later today.
10:22 mk01 ok, but if you are still without any merge into yours tree, I will at least squash
10:22 mk01 some commits I was adding as tuning during the week
10:22 mk01 ... ?
10:22 jnettlet sure feel free
10:23 mk01 jnettlet - btw: temp1: +34.4°C
10:23 jnettlet nice.
10:23 jnettlet is that idle?
10:23 mk01 yes, TV of
10:23 mk01 off
10:23 mk01 so FB blanked. governor conservative
10:23 jnettlet great, exactly what I was hoping :)
10:24 jnettlet do you have a sata drive connected?
10:25 mk01 nope , this one is DDR50 sd
10:25 mk01 humming
10:25 jnettlet ah right.
10:25 mk01 I have eSata on C4p
10:26 jnettlet ah okay. make sure to set the ahci link policy to min_power
10:26 jnettlet it doesn't work with suspend/resume but saves power at idle
10:26 mk01 . /sys/devices/soc0/soc/2200000.sata/ata1/host0/scsi_host/host0/link_power_management_policy ?
10:27 vpeter This is some nice temperature :)
10:27 jnettlet yes. you can reach it through /sys/class/ as well
10:28 jnettlet vpeter, yeah much friendlier idle power consumption. Drops down to just under 1Watt
10:31 mk01 jnettlet: can I replace microSOM on C4p carrier ?
10:31 mk01 looks like I burned fuse (F1)
10:31 mk01 on Vero I have.
10:32 mk01 can I reattach the SOM onto C4p's ?
10:32 jnettlet On the Cubox-i...yes
10:32 jnettlet you have to be careful removing the board from the heat spreader, but I have done it many times.
10:33 mk01 yep, disassembled Vero already. ok thanks, will reattach to the other box
10:34 mk01 btw is it in HUMAN power to replace the fuse ?
10:43 jnettlet mk01, do you mean fuse as in power fuse, or fuse as in part of the pfuse system on the SOC?
10:43 mk01 power fuse
10:45 mk01 I can't start it so I have the feeling I (somehow unaware) attached 12V AC
10:46 vpeter mk01: I don't know what type of fuse is but on one similar system I replaced smd based one.
10:46 mk01 (and the fuse doesn't look like electro part, it looks like small drop of tintin
10:47 jnettlet you can just remove the fuse, or solder blob it to bypass it pretty safely, however it is possible you fried something on the 3.3volt rail
10:47 mk01 vpeter: don't speak your language (of HW) :-/
10:47 vpeter small piece with 2 contacts :)
10:47 jnettlet if that is the case then the som is damaged and unusable.
10:48 mk01 jnettlet: sure have to test first, that's why I asked. 2nd Q: if the board is dead, is it still safe to try by putting onto C-i, right ?
10:50 jnettlet yes
12:51 vpeter jnettlet: I'm reading a little about (my non-working) lvds. Could be possible that I don't have any image because of required dcic support?
13:15 mk01 vpeter: if you are concerned of missing dcic, turn of SyncToDisplay option. then RefClock path is not used and dcic should be inert to testing
13:27 mk01 jnettlet: Kodi built successfully. last commit is adding the json option to change res (any from list by index). so to test the err 3006 this can be used - while true; do for s in $(seq 16 XX); do xbmc-send.py -a "XBMC.Resolution(\"custom\", \"$s\")"; xbmc-send.py -a 'XBMC.Action("Right")'; xbmc-send.py -a 'XBMC.Action("Select")'; done; done
13:29 mk01 jnettlet: just save it for future reference. maybe put sleep 5 between changes. in few changes (10-20) the error should popup.
13:36 jnettlet mk01, okay I will test.
13:36 jnettlet vpeter, shouldn't be a problem.
14:11 vpeter Ok then.
17:02 flips jnettlet: Did you understand anything about the X issue I had? (Both fb and X uses about 0,9 inch outside the monitor on all sides)
18:49 topi` I want to connect a 2.5" HDD to my hummingboard, I guess with a 2.5"->mSATA adapter I'm good to go. Then I suppose I also need to provide extra +5V to the hard disk...
18:51 topi` both the Dual and Quad SoMs seem to support mSATA
18:51 jnettlet topi`, yes you need an iMX6D/Q to support mSATA
18:52 topi` I want to build 3 of these setups, with 3 HDD's and then build a kind of AWS S3 like system from it
18:52 jnettlet but your other option is to get a mPCIe to sata board
18:52 topi` the WD Red 2.5" 1TB disk goes for $70 or cheaper :)
18:52 topi` I think the adaptor is cheaper, but let's see
18:52 jnettlet you still need to provide 5volts from the gpio header
18:53 topi` so no +5V on the mSATA header?
18:55 jnettlet there must, be but you would need to make sure and have a big power supply.
18:55 topi` I'll just have an additional +5V rail to the separate power connector on the drive
18:56 topi` possibly directly from the shared power supply
18:57 topi` if I need 2GB of RAM, then it's the Quad I have to buy right?
19:01 jnettlet yes. you can get 4GB is you want
19:11 topi` how does the kernel take advantage of it? being a 32bit system and all, usually there is a 3GB:1GB memory split
19:14 topi` but in the S3 use case, the RAM would be mostly used as a disk cache
19:16 jnettlet topi`, you get 3.84 GBS of memory addressed and useable
