| 14:33 | ManniX_ | Hi there :) May I ask some tech questions about SolidPC Q4? |
| 14:44 | vpeter | Sure, why not :) |
| 14:44 | ManniX_ | Thanks :) |
| 14:45 | ManniX_ | Is there a list of compatible M.2 SSDs? Found only a Transcend with 500GB size |
| 14:45 | ManniX_ | I wonder if the PSU at 2,5A is enough with a big M.2 SSD |
| 14:47 | vpeter | Sadly I don't know the answers. |
| 14:48 | ManniX_ | eheh thanks for trying anyway :) maybe someone else will |
| 15:06 | vpeter | topi`: I think this is for you :) http://www.cnx-software.com/2017/04/24/solidrun-macchiatobin-mini-itx-networking-board-is-now-available-for-349-and-up/ |
| 15:07 | topi` | vpeter: my preorder has already been in, since september :) |
| 15:07 | vpeter | Seems soon you will get it? |
| 15:10 | topi` | I certainly hope so :) |
| 15:11 | topi` | I also probably need to buy a CF Pro, since all these Netgear Nighthawk crap that is there for sale for customers, does not entirely satisfy me |
| 15:11 | topi` | I need to build my own 802.11ac network, without bottlenecks |
| 15:12 | topi` | I mean, consumer network equipment is highly unsatisfactory |
| 15:27 | vpeter | Then you need top end consumer product. Or switch to professionally items :-) |
| 15:28 | topi` | CF pro + a decent miniPCIe 802.11ac card will cost less than $250 |
| 15:29 | topi` | microSD's and antennas I already have plentiful |
| 15:30 | vpeter | What you will run on it? |
| 15:31 | topi` | debian :) |
| 15:33 | vpeter | Something like this would not work out of the box? http://www.linksys.com/us/p/P-WRT1900ACS/ |
| 15:33 | topi` | linksys is crap :) |
| 15:34 | vpeter | It is consumer product :) |
| 15:34 | topi` | damnit bzip2 is *slow* on imx6 |
| 15:34 | topi` | maybe lzop instead |
| 15:35 | suihkulokki | bzip2 is bad yes |
| 15:35 | topi` | but it is pretty much defacto and installed universally |
| 15:35 | topi` | even python supports bz2 compressed streams out of the box :) |
| 15:36 | suihkulokki | gzip for max compat and xz for max efficiency |
| 15:36 | suihkulokki | and both have paralllel cpu versions - pigz and pixz |
| 15:36 | topi` | gzip -1 doesn't fly, either :( |
| 15:37 | topi` | we're using the Dual SOMs, so the parallel speedup is limited |
| 15:37 | suihkulokki | well it's halves time so |
| 15:37 | topi` | on the Quads, the parallel versions are definitely useful |
| 15:38 | topi` | there's also pbzip2 |
| 15:38 | topi` | building gstreamer for debian/stretch... |
| 15:38 | topi` | let's see if I can make it to use drm + egl |
| 15:58 | Ke | xz can do parallel compression nowadays |
| 16:00 | Ke | I tried to ask, whether memory modules provided with macchiatobin support ECC, but I still could not get the answer =o) |
| 16:03 | Ke | also data said EEC for some reason https://wiki.solid-run.com/doku.php?id=products:a8040:communityboard:ddr |
| 16:08 | suihkulokki | there seems to be enough finns here to start speaking finnish :p |
| 16:34 | topi` | how difficult it is to build ones own "buildroot" ramdisk image? The one provided by SR is great for quickly writing your stuff to eMMC, but I'd like to build a "better" installer in python |
| 16:34 | topi` | no py interpreter on SRs buildroot :( |
| 17:13 | rabeeh | Ke: the chipset has ECC bits |
| 17:14 | Ke | not the SoC but the memory module provided |
| 17:14 | rabeeh | it doesn't |
| 17:14 | rabeeh | we should have that... sometime |
| 17:14 | Ke | Thank you |
| 17:14 | rabeeh | i think for now non registered DIMM are supported (with or without ECC) |
| 17:14 | rabeeh | registered DIMM will follow sometime too. |
| 17:15 | rabeeh | http://www.ebay.de/itm/Micron-8GB-RAM-DDR4-MTA9ASF1G72AZ-2G3B1ZG-UDIMM-ECC-2400MHz-PC4-19200E-288-Pin-/292028740188 |
| 17:15 | Ke | you mean raminit code is lacking in that part? |
| 17:15 | rabeeh | those for instance supports 8GB with ECC |
| 17:15 | rabeeh | yeah; mv_ddr code |
| 17:16 | Ke | rabeeh: can you fix the EEC typo and clarify this somehow in the webshop selection |
| 17:16 | Ke | eg. add non-ecc there or something |
| 17:16 | rabeeh | https://github.com/MarvellEmbeddedProcessors/mv-ddr-marvell/commits/mv_ddr-armada-17.04 |
| 17:18 | rabeeh | typo fixed |
| 17:18 | Ke | also, if you say (Optional ECC), it might give an idea that the memory module you are shipping now supports ECC |
| 17:19 | Ke | and thanks |
| 19:30 | Artox | just fyi there is a new lede image for the clearfog based on HEAD. If anybody wants to give it a try: https://repo.solid-build.xyz/lede/targets/mvebu/generic/lede-1-mvebu-armada-388-clearfog-sdcard.img.gz |
| 19:37 | Artox | 204 Mbps with iperf3 |
| 19:51 | vpeter | Artox: directly from lede repo or yours? |
| 20:42 | Artox | vpeter: mine |
| 20:42 | Artox | there is an open PR |
| 20:43 | Artox | https://github.com/lede-project/source/pull/1059 |
| 20:43 | Artox | though that PR only changes bootscripts |
| 20:44 | Artox | turns out nothing else was needed |
| 20:45 | Artox | maybe they can be persuaded to build images on their next stable release |
