| 05:02 | DHowett | was there ever a mainline u-boot update that would support the OG cubox/pro? I remember SR's forked version laying around for some time, but that was 2009 |
| 05:19 | DHowett | ah, it looks like no |
| 05:41 | jnettlet | topi`, 8, 16, 32 core variants are in the 2017 timeline. This is the initial POC board. |
| 05:42 | jnettlet | as for memory...will lpddr4 is a beast for throughput and latency but really hard to come by. getting better. |
| 15:40 | Artox | DHowett: there is only the mainlining attempts by Sascha Silbe. Last one is of 2013 |
| 15:41 | Artox | the code is linked on the forums |
| 16:12 | jnettlet | DHowett, I did just redistribute some old stock of the original Cubox to OSS developers. Hopefully the lot of us can get the remaining bits upstreamed and support for etnaviv finalized. |
| 16:59 | ngochai | Hi guys,can I use mSATA on the hummingboard edge? |
| 17:03 | topi` | i.MX6 with mainline starts to look good - etnaviv seems to close the gap so that almost everything is supported |
| 17:04 | topi` | remember that even Intel's Cherry Trail was poorly supported in mainline for quite a long time |
| 17:47 | jnettlet | ngochai, mSATA requires an iMX6D/Q som |
| 17:48 | jnettlet | if you want to use sata then you need to add a connector to the unpopulated headers. |
| 17:48 | jnettlet | topi`, et |
| 17:48 | jnettlet | etnaviv is still a long way from the performance of galcore unfortunately |
| 17:48 | jnettlet | it is okay for video rendering and basic 2d |
| 17:55 | suihkulokki | mainlining is always extremely slow. |
| 17:56 | suihkulokki | makes me wonder if it even makes sense to try to mainline code for components unless they are going to be available for 10+ years |
| 17:57 | suihkulokki | (that is of course exaggerating the situation but..) |
| 17:58 | jnettlet | it is something that has been brought up by many high up kernel maintainers |
| 18:02 | suihkulokki | lots depends of course how much the SoC shares code with others |
| 18:03 | jnettlet | and documentation, and dependencies on binary drivers etc |
| 18:23 | apa | hello |
| 18:24 | apa | sombody has link to cubox cb300d disk image? |
| 20:16 | ngochai | jnettlet, So as long as I have iMX6D/Q SOM with my hummingboard Edge, I can use mSATA? |
| 20:17 | ngochai | if that's true, where should I connect my mSATA driver to ? The mPCIE or m.2 connector? |
| 22:30 | DHowett | jnettlet: that's great news. I got an old-stock cubox to replace my pro after I nuked it; y'all are awesome :) |
