09:19 schribl What type of key has to pressed when booting a CuBox-i to access the uboot console? I tried a USB Keyboard but it did not work.
09:24 Humpelstilzchen schribl: try the usb serial connection
09:25 schribl Humpelstilzchen: I tried minicom but a short test did not work
09:25 schribl I will try it again
09:27 Humpelstilzchen schribl: did it display anything?
09:28 schribl Yes, including the countdown
09:31 schribl The setup also was working nice, but the SD card is damaged (reading works but writing is ignored) and I do not have a SDXC able card reader. So I am trying to boot from the CuBox-i via USB to use it as a SD card reader.
10:04 jnettlet schribl, in minicom turn off hardware flow control or input over the serial console will not work.
10:05 jnettlet for usb input you need an hdmi monitor attached, however it is a polled mode so some usb keyboards specifically wireless ones sometimes don't work so well
10:11 schribl jnettlet: Thanks! Without hardware flow control it works. Now I can look further into booting from USB
11:37 topi` rabeeh: I'm looking at ClearFog Pro schematics - it seems there are two SIM connectors with USIM0 and USIM1 signals, however on the photos of the board I only see one SIM connector. Why is this?
11:38 topi` we might have some customer cases where the customer wishes 2 SIMs from different operators.
11:40 topi` the SIM card connectors are CON6 (UIM1) and CON10 (UIM0)
11:51 jnettlet topi`, CON6 is the populated sim tray. Con10 is on the bottom of the board and is a push push sim connector. It is not populated.
14:32 schribl I am trying to load the image to memory in u-boot. However u-boot has some trouble with the usb stick. It is found and size is right but partition table does not look like shown on laptop. Using mmc works fine. U-boot version is 2013.10-rc4. Some hints on what might be the problem?
14:39 Humpelstilzchen uefi formatted?
14:41 schribl gpt
14:43 Humpelstilzchen never tried that, try old school partition table
15:20 schribl Humpelstilzchen: Thanks, that was the error now I can continue my study of u-boot :)
15:23 jnettlet schribl, gpt isn't supported on ARM in u-boot. Well most of ARM
15:23 jnettlet the cpu bootstraps from the exact same location that GPT expects the primary partition table to exist.
15:24 jnettlet there have been some devs that have hacked around this.
16:44 schribl So I was able to boot jnettlet, Humpelstilzchen: Many thanks. I was able to use my cubox to create a bootable sd card. Now I will setup the system
16:51 jnettlet schribl, great
