| 19:31 | malte_ | http://wiki.solid-run.com/doku.php?id=products:imx6:software:development:u-boot&s[]=boot#booting_from_external_device |
| 19:32 | jnettlet | heap_ of you have the option I would recommend esata over USB. |
| 19:32 | heap_ | jnettlet: i have storage connected over esata ;/ |
| 19:34 | heap_ | malte_: i read through,, does it mean i dont need sd card anymore? like /boot etc is on external drive? |
| 19:34 | malte_ | u need a sd card for uboot |
| 19:35 | heap_ | only uboot then? |
| 19:35 | malte_ | yes |
| 19:35 | heap_ | and rest of the system is on external drive? |
| 19:35 | malte_ | yes |
| 19:35 | heap_ | ah ok |
| 19:35 | heap_ | let me do this |
| 19:35 | heap_ | its really pain ... 5th card gone |
| 20:23 | heap_ | so its strange |
| 20:23 | jnettlet | heap_ what fstype are you using? |
| 20:24 | heap_ | i plugged my external usb drive cuboxi and it wasnt recognized |
| 20:24 | heap_ | thats odd |
| 20:24 | heap_ | why? |
| 20:25 | heap_ | its not recognized in both ports |
| 20:25 | heap_ | usb |
| 20:26 | jnettlet | Does it need external power? |
| 20:28 | heap_ | i dont know its 2/5" drive |
| 20:28 | heap_ | i thought it can be powered by usb port? |
| 20:29 | jnettlet | Is it an ssd? |
| 20:29 | heap_ | i tried ssd now and clasic one |
| 20:29 | heap_ | doest work |
| 20:29 | heap_ | non of them |
| 20:29 | jnettlet | Some of my 2.5" drives need two USB ports to power them |
| 20:30 | heap_ | i tried 2 ports |
| 20:30 | heap_ | and now i powerd drive wwith external power |
| 20:31 | heap_ | doesnt owrk |
| 20:31 | heap_ | work |
| 20:31 | heap_ | shit |
| 20:32 | heap_ | well i think there is no use of cuboxi |
| 20:32 | heap_ | its pure experimental device ;- |
| 20:32 | heap_ | ;( |
| 20:32 | heap_ | looks like |
| 20:33 | heap_ | or its because of stupid arch linux? |
| 20:37 | jnettlet | Possibly. Are you getting any messages in dmesg |
| 20:38 | jnettlet | There was a problem with the upstream kernel where if nothing was plugged in after a certain amount of uptime the ports would get stuck in persevere mode |
| 20:42 | heap_ | jnettlet: nothing in dmesg ;-( |
| 20:42 | heap_ | jnettlet: ah man ,,,, all what i can see now are kernel bugs. |
| 20:46 | heap_ | whats that xz format? |
| 20:46 | heap_ | is it compressed? |
| 20:47 | jnettlet | Yes |
| 20:48 | heap_ | its tar.xz? |
| 20:52 | jnettlet | What are you looking at? |
| 20:52 | heap_ | i need to uncompres that sr-...img.xz and dd it on sd card |
| 20:53 | jnettlet | Use xzcat |
| 20:53 | jnettlet | xzcat image | dd of=/dev/sdcard |
