IRC log of #cubox of Tue 22 Sep 2015. All times are in CEST < Back to index

02:59 TrevorH I am trying to reinstall u-boot on my cubox-dove v2 and all I see from sx is "Timeout on sector ACK"
09:24 vpeter Nice article :) http://www.cnx-software.com/2015/09/22/hummingboard-gate-boards-add-a-mikrobus-socket-to-support-mikroelektronika-click-boards/
09:33 jnettlet vpeter, yeah I have a handful of those click boards that I need to play with.
09:37 vpeter I assume boards needs only few data lines right? Not every board needs all 16 lines.
09:39 cbxbiker61 http://www.mikroe.com/downloads/get/1737/mikrobus_specification_standard.pdf
09:39 cbxbiker61 the most common ways of talking to devices are supported
09:40 jnettlet correct. It is just a standard layout for the pins.
09:40 jnettlet the spec is also missing that the signaling has to be 3.3V We need to have them change that
09:42 vpeter cbxbiker61: Yes, I saw specs.
09:43 vpeter For SPI neds only 6 lines from 16.
12:05 TrevorH I have the original cubox pro (dove based). What is the latest u-boot for this machine and where can I find it?
16:15 topi` jnettlet: I have an old linux-linaro-stable-mx6 tree here on disk... git log shows " Merge pull request #24 from linux4kix/linux-linaro-lsk-v3.14-mx6-thermal" from Dec 17 2014
16:16 topi` so this is pretty old stuff... can I just do a "git pull" to get up-to-date or do you recommend another kernel tree?
16:16 topi` I'm asking this because I have custom kernel modules there that I want to keep compiling in
16:16 topi` no kernel patches, just a custom set of kernel modules to build
16:16 jnettlet topi`, we are doing all new work in a new tree. https://github.com/SolidRun/linux-fslc
16:17 topi` OK, I'll clone that. thanks for the prompt response :)
16:17 topi` BTW do you have Hummingboard Gates at your hands?
16:18 jnettlet topi`, nope they arrived just as I was leaving Israel. It should be showing up here in the next day or so.
16:18 topi` I think the article in cnx-software.com had a typo or misprint there. It said that the difference between HB Edge and HB Gate was the mikroBUS connector ... but if I look at the photos, the mikroBUS is there
16:19 topi` can you confirm that?
16:19 jnettlet that is in reference to the board being populated with the headers
16:19 TrevorH I have the original cubox pro (dove based). What is the latest u-boot for this machine and where can I find it?
16:19 topi` IMO it would make no sense to release a "IoT board" without the mikroBUS :)
16:22 jnettlet topi`, the gate has the headers the edge does not. The edge doesn't have them populated so you can use the m.2 storage slot.
16:26 topi` hmm...
16:27 topi` tight spaces there :)
16:47 jnettlet topi`, well the edge just showed up. I guess it is the gate that is shipping later in the week.
16:47 jnettlet it does have unpopulated headers, but I had them shipped and will solder them here myself.
16:48 jnettlet but if you have the headers populated you can only use the smallest size m.2 storage.
16:53 slacker27 jnettlet, could you link me the camera board you used for the new HB products? I'd like to order them
17:02 jnettlet slacker27, all of these cameras should work now. http://linuxgizmos.com/wandboard-sbc-gains-camera-add-ons/
17:02 jnettlet specifically the one I have here is the 5MP cmos camera from AVNET
17:03 jnettlet it has an OV5640 sensor on it
17:21 slacker27 Thank you
17:22 slacker27 To clarify, the Avnet Wandcam is a plug and play solution for the new HB boards?
17:25 jnettlet slacker27, it will be yes. I only say will because I only have an early prototype board and haven't tested the production units yet.
17:25 jnettlet I should be able to say yes, later tonight or tomorrow morning latest
17:25 slacker27 Oh alright! Thanks again.
17:40 jnettlet topi`, mikrobus headers attached to an HB Edge. 3 minute job. Now I need to make the setup of these things easier.
