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

07:34 jnettlet Sorry I got knocked off Freenode again.
07:35 jnettlet Someone was having an issue with their Cubox-i randomly hanging on boot? It is a bug in u-boot, you will need to update to latest version from our repository
09:08 auke- jnettlet: i pinged you about the Yocto layer for the CuBox-i. Some time ago you told me you're working on a custom layer with an up-to-date kernel. Are you still working on it and what is the status of your work?
09:15 jnettlet auke-, it is working but I haven't made it public yet. I am trying to solve a couple of upstream problems with stability.
09:16 jnettlet auke-, do you need a gui?
09:17 jnettlet oh and as a general notice. Do not use upstream u-boot. They have only included proper memory timings for one of our microsom combinations.
09:18 jnettlet I am not sure how they feel that is acceptable for the users, but it is the current status.
09:34 auke- I have build my own Yocto image, based on the work of Stephan Rafin. Primarily for runnig Kodi, XMMS2 and the usual command line tools. It doesn't use a window manager but uses the framebuffer and the proprietary drivers. But i wrecked my bitbake setup by upgrading to Jethro :/
09:37 jnettlet oh in that case most everything should work
09:37 jnettlet although I haven't tested with Jethro
09:38 jnettlet Yocto likes to break things for every release so I recommend if someone has to use Yocto they should really stay away from whatever their latest and greatest is
09:38 jnettlet basically jumping to gcc 5.x at this point in time on ARM is basically system suicide
09:43 auke- I just rebuild everything using GCC 4.9 so i will spent my day flashing sd-cards and watching the serial console output :)
09:43 jnettlet good choice
17:36 vpeter How can I see if my Cubox-i4pro has internal bluetooth?
18:02 jnettlet vpeter, does it have wifi?
18:10 ngochai jnettlet, I
18:10 ngochai am having the u-boot hang issue
18:11 ngochai the latest u-boot is here https://github.com/SolidRun/u-boot-imx6 right?
18:11 ngochai with this u-boot, I
18:12 ngochai am still having the problem
18:27 vpeter jnettlet: Yes it does
18:27 vpeter I'm actually checking this issue: https://github.com/OpenELEC/OpenELEC.tv/issues/3926
18:35 jnettlet vpeter, yes they are missing the bcrm-patchram-plus utility needed to load the external BT firmware and initialize the device. I have that in my patchset that is sitting here bit-rooting
18:35 jnettlet rotting
18:37 vpeter But it was working some time back if I understand right.
18:43 jnettlet not that I have ever known
18:44 jnettlet but I came in much later in the game
18:49 vpeter I see. then user is wrong.
18:52 jnettlet I guess sraue should know
18:54 mk001 vpeter: remove the 3Mb baudrate
18:54 mk001 parameter
18:57 mk001 and also - wasn't kernel config changed in-between ?
18:57 jnettlet ngochai, yes
18:58 jnettlet ngochai, does the hang only happen when a monitor is attached?
18:58 vpeter mk001: Could be. What shoudl I look for?
18:58 mk001 ((as the sdio is created from mmc host and provided as uart, so bluetooth needs HCI driver for UART, not SDIO))
18:59 jnettlet ngochai, also verify when you dd the new u-boot to the SDHC card it actually updates it. I have had cards that wouldn't update reliably
19:00 vpeter mk001: I see. Will investigate. Thanks for input.
19:05 mk001 vpeter: but according to dmesg attached it looks ok
19:11 mk001 vpeter: also there were some issues with updates to BT(4330 model) in higher kernels - is something from it was back-ported down to 3.14, then it can be the issue.
19:27 ngochai jnettlet, it still happens without the monitor, I've tried a few SDcards
21:04 jnettlet ngochai, can you ping me tomorrow? I am packing for the holiday trip this evening.
21:04 jnettlet Also info on the sdcards would be useful.
21:05 ngochai jnettlet, sure
