11:43 topi` Exaga: what do you intend to do with the Marvell board?
11:43 topi` it looks fine for some kind of router device
11:45 topi` it seems jnettlet has disappeared... does anyone know if there is a possibility to program such a Watchdog on the HB that would reset the zImage if the new image fails to boot?
11:46 topi` i.e. after a kernel update, a symlink is changed to point to the updated kernel, and if that kernel fails to bring up the system to normal working state, then that symlink is reset to the previous kernel?
11:47 topi` I know the Snapdragon devices, like SD600, have a programmable RPM unit which can be used to reset the whole system
11:55 Exaga topi`: i don't have a clearfog... YET! :D
11:55 Exaga and when i do have one... toe possibilities are virtually endless
11:56 Exaga i can see great potential for business with this device
11:56 Exaga it will combine many already existing expensive alternatives into one device
11:58 Exaga i'm literally wetting myself with excitement when I think about it
11:59 Exaga solidrun have proved they are leading the way in terms of technology and innovation and it won;t be long before others will follow them
12:01 Exaga topi`: in terms of what i would use it for personally... first thing that comes to mind is a dedicated linux firewall/router
12:02 Exaga of course, running Slackware
12:02 Exaga the clearfog is the kind of thing that dreams are made of, for me personally
12:26 Artox Exaga: lol
12:27 Exaga Artox: hi o/
12:27 Exaga how's it going?
12:27 Artox its crawling
12:27 Artox university finally started again
12:28 Exaga good news then :)
12:28 Artox you could say so
12:28 Exaga my free time has been hacked to pieces by windows 10
12:29 Artox Oh. Lovely. How so?
12:29 Exaga in my line of work i maintain and repair a lot of windows machines
12:29 Exaga and allowing users to upgrade to a new OS is not the best idea when the software is flawed
12:30 Exag 12:30 * Exaga points a strained finger towards microsoft
12:30 Exaga so lots of overtime and extra hours putting things back to the way they were or fixing windows 10 itself
12:31 Artox I see
12:32 Artox sounds as fun as vivante gpu blobs
12:32 Exaga it's far from fun Artox lol
12:32 Artox exactly
12:51 mk001 topi`: use boot script with such structure: http://paste.debian.net/332645/
12:51 mk001 in userspace, remove variable failedboot.
12:52 mk001 and keep copy of "good" kernel + dtb in /boot/failover
13:01 vpeter topi`: My intension with clearfog is to build all in one device acting as a router, wifi ap, nas. Attaching one m.2 disk for silent operation and another hdd for biger storage.
13:02 Exaga vpeter: it will be perfect as a NAS solution
13:02 Exaga in fact, i'm challenging myself to think of a use the clearfog wouldn;t be suited for :D
13:03 Exaga maybe it wouldn't be so good as a cricket bat, but for everything else YES! :P
13:03 vpeter I don't want few devices around because I don't have a need for real nas. All I want to have some central torage with low power usage.
13:03 Exaga ya. i think the same from a personal opinion. but the potential as a business application is mindblowing
13:04 Exaga welkom Artox :>
13:04 Artox Thank you Exaga
13:04 vpeter O yes, and don't forget the mikroBUS and attaching small devices on it.
13:05 Exaga vpeter: i'm checking into that right now
13:05 vpeter Maybe my electronics education I got will finally come into play :)
13:07 Exaga a friend of mine explained that the switchnode converter takes a hider/narrower pulse from the power supply
13:07 Exaga and i haven't got a clue what that means LOL!
13:07 Exaga anybody who does understand what that means must work for NASA!
13:07 vpeter Well, you don't need to know that to actually use the supply :-)
13:07 Exaga haha ye
13:11 vpeter I was looking around for some similr devices but seems there is not any. Or if they are the support is ... not good.
13:21 Exaga vpeter: i haven't seen any either
13:22 Exaga i've just commented on it, saying that makes solidrun world leaders in this field of technology :D
13:22 Exaga seriously cool
13:26 Artox topi`: you needed to rebuild kernel for your keyboard?
13:26 Artox is that a simple change to .config?
13:27 Artox if so, I could add it to the package
17:37 Artox topi`: maybe for next update then; let me know
18:43 shoxxx o/
18:43 shoxxx hello
18:46 shoxxx guys have you ever had a issue of your cubox buzzing over hdmi (onkyo reciever). It would happen when I moved the mouse or navigated through the menu (Openelec 6). My house wiring isnt great and it is fine again today but wondered if the power supply was very sensitive.
