11:22 jnettlet vpeter, do you have a libreelec build that works with the v1.5 som? I just downloaded 8.0.1 and it is missing the device-tree files.
11:29 vpeter jnettlet: they are in image with kernel 3.14 from sr
11:29 vpeter http://vpeter.libreelec.tv/imx6-solidrun-kernel-3.14/LibreELEC-imx6.arm-8.0.1-sr-3.14.img.gz
11:29 vpeter and I think this one too (but dts was copied from 3.14 and no idea if works)
11:29 vpeter http://vpeter.libreelec.tv/imx6-xbian-kernel-4.4/LibreELEC-imx6.arm-8.0.1.img.gz
11:29 vpeter I think both are untested with this new som.
11:59 vpeter Anyone saw some 3D printed case for clearfog pro?
12:07 topi` jnettlet: would you happen to know how to tell the kernel that partitioning has changed? I'm trying to create a power script for installing via buildroot
12:08 jnettlet partprobe
12:08 topi` so I'm trying to create a 2GB partition at the end of the eMMC to be able to download the tarball that contains all partitions
12:08 topi` OK I'll try that out
12:09 Ke or just echo w | fdisk /dev/sda, if there is no partprobe
12:09 Ke though that is unsafe in case there is a bug in fdisk or something, as it actually rewrites your MBR
12:13 topi` doesn't matter, since this will be done to pristine boards
12:13 topi` the emmc contains nothing at that piont
12:22 Ke most partitioning tools should probe the partitions at the write stage
12:23 Ke automatically
12:23 Ke I often script these with fdisk
12:24 Ke dd of=/dev/mmcbkl1 if=/dev/zero bs=4K count=1 && printf '%s\n' | fdisk -u /dev/mmcbkl1
12:25 Ke fdisk state is very nasty to follow though, if you just want to modify existing partitioning
12:25 Ke but starting from scratch it's easy
13:02 topi` modifyig is always risky; I prefer clean slate
13:03 topi` damn, we should have gotten 2GB RAM instead of 1GB... I can't fit the payload into tmpfs
13:03 topi` something in the buildroot is using 200MB of ram but I don't know what
13:04 topi` maybe that test_cubox-i.sh
13:04 topi` when I kill it, it starts again
13:10 topi` I wonder how much it would cost to upgrade the i2eX 1GB ram -> 2 GB
13:10 topi` perhaps simpler just to shell the extra $$$ for the quad core
13:31 bencoh topi`: du -hs? :)
13:31 bencoh or do you mean some process is taking 200M?
19:21 vpeter jnettlet: is it possible somehow to force lower resolution with solidpc than 4k? Like 1920x1080. In BIOS/EFI.
