| 11:40 | jnettlet | vpeter, a little warm but not too uncommon |
| 11:44 | jnettlet | The fans I purchased were as follows. |
| 11:45 | jnettlet | The scythe 40mm case fans. They are rated at 14dbm but something about them seemed more audible. |
| 11:45 | jnettlet | https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B00WOMQIY4/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 |
| 11:45 | vpeter | jnettlet: And how much it decrease temperature? |
| 11:45 | jnettlet | down into low 40's at idle |
| 11:46 | jnettlet | unfortunately those numbers are on my whiteboard in my office. |
| 11:46 | vpeter | 40 at /sys/devices/virtual/thermal/thermal_zone0/temp ? |
| 11:47 | jnettlet | yes the SOC die temp |
| 11:47 | vpeter | that's much difference :) |
| 11:47 | jnettlet | although this was tested in the winter so indoor temps were quite cool |
| 11:48 | vpeter | Will use something from a drawer first. |
| 11:50 | jnettlet | I have sitting on my desk a mikroBUS Module, 4-wire 5V, EMC2301 for proper active cooling |
| 11:50 | jnettlet | I have written some manual userspace stuff for testing but never wired up the active cooling in device-tree |
| 11:51 | vpeter | got distracted with something else :-) |
| 11:51 | jnettlet | I shifted my focus to better passive cooling solutions like vapour chamber based heatsinks |
| 11:52 | jnettlet | still working on finding a vendor that doesn't want to charge us a fortune if we don't order 1 million units |
| 11:53 | vpeter | Sell more units - problem solved. |
| 11:57 | jnettlet | for lots of things :) |
| 11:59 | jnettlet | coburn, my internet access at the resort was absolutely miserable so doing remote builds was too painstaking. Now I am back in civilization so will be able to kick some off, and fix issues. |
| 12:00 | jnettlet | as Artox, said make world is a nightware to build under LEDE. I am trying to fix the majority of the issues so users can pick and choose whatever they want. |
| 12:00 | jnettlet | sorry The hotel said wifi in every room, but they meant that for normies |
| 12:07 | jnettlet | vpeter, but overall the sunon "silent" series of fans seem to be the best option. Their audible range seems to be the most tolerable |
| 13:24 | vpeter | jnettlet: what is the issue with lede 'make world'? It works fine for me. |
| 13:27 | Artox | vpeter, first I optimistically enable all drivers |
| 13:27 | Artox | and then I get a build error |
| 13:28 | Artox | prompting me to rerun with V=s -j1 |
| 13:28 | Artox | after some mroe waiting, I get to see *one* build error |
| 13:28 | Artox | say in brcmsmac |
| 13:28 | Artox | I disable that in menuconfig |
| 13:28 | Artox | rerun make -j4 |
| 13:28 | Artox | error, rerun make -j1 V=s |
| 13:28 | Artox | fix another error .... |
| 13:28 | Artox | and it goes on and on and on |
| 13:28 | Artox | there is no such thing as build all, and tell me later which failed |
| 13:29 | vpeter | Yes, this is not good. And very time consuming to get to the end. |
| 13:30 | Artox | That's why ultimately having a fork is painful |
| 13:30 | Artox | I guess for releases its maintainable |
| 13:30 | Artox | but master? no way |
| 13:56 | dxtr | So, I bought a cubox in like.. 2011 or 2012. Where can I find the specs for it? |
| 13:56 | dxtr | I think it was just called "cubox" back then |
| 13:57 | dxtr | I realize this is more legacy than the pyramids, but still :p |
| 13:57 | Artox | dxtr, search for Dove Cubox |
| 13:58 | dxtr | Oh yeah, that rings a bell |
| 13:58 | dxtr | Why "Dove", by the way? I always wondered that |
| 14:02 | dxtr | ahh |
| 14:02 | dxtr | http://www.marvell.com.cn/application-processors/armada-500/assets/Marvell_Armada510_SoC.pdf <- could this be it? |
| 14:05 | dxtr | And do you guys remember if it runs on 5 volts like everything else nowadays? |
| 14:17 | dxtr | Hmm I might have found the actual original power supply |
| 14:38 | dxtr | Also, do you think it would be possible to upgrade u-boot on it? |
| 14:44 | Artox | dxtr, possible yes, but I can't recommend it |
| 14:44 | dxtr | Why? |
| 14:44 | Artox | it never made it mainline, despite numerous attempts by members of the community. |
| 14:45 | dxtr | May I ask why? |
| 14:45 | dxtr | also, mainline what? |
| 14:45 | Artox | mainline u-boot |
| 14:45 | dxtr | right |
| 14:45 | Artox | I didn't investigate much. SO far it just looks like patches were ignored for months |
| 14:46 | dxtr | What patches? Sorry if I'm being a jerk here but I'm interested :) |
| 14:46 | Artox | the patches that were proposed to u-boot at several points in time |
| 14:46 | dxtr | What I'm fishing for is; what would break? |
| 14:46 | dxtr | I don't need, for example, gpu support |
| 14:46 | Artox | board support is not in mainline u-boot. |
| 14:47 | dxtr | So it would probably not boot at all? |
| 14:47 | Artox | so it should already break when trying to start the serial console |
| 14:47 | Artox | and if not it'll break on reading sdcard |
| 14:47 | Artox | yeah. Not oot. |
| 14:48 | dxtr | Will I brick the board if I upgrade to a broken u-boot? |
| 14:48 | Artox | sure; |
| 14:48 | Artox | though it should be recoverable with sdcard |
| 14:49 | Artox | BUT DONT TAKE MY WORD FOR IT |
| 14:49 | dxtr | I'm feeling adventurous :P |
| 14:49 | dxtr | I mean I could either toy with this or the cubox is most likely going in the bin |
| 14:50 | Artox | oh? |
| 14:50 | Artox | you can still boot linux from the old u-boot |
| 14:50 | Artox | if it goes to the bin, we always havbe someone who might want one |
| 14:50 | Artox | Really. |
| 14:51 | dxtr | Linux, yes, but I wanna see if I can get openbsd running on it :) |
| 14:51 | Artox | Ooooooooh |
| 14:51 | Artox | well, have fun |
| 14:51 | dxtr | hehe |
| 14:51 | Artox | just don't throw it awat pl0x. |
| 14:52 | dxtr | Well, if I brick then what should I do? |
| 14:53 | Artox | write to [email protected] and tell them you don't need it anymore |
| 14:53 | Artox | if you want to unbrick it |
| 14:53 | Artox | I don't know how at this point |
| 14:53 | Artox | the docs should be available somewhere |
| 14:53 | Artox | at list with the waybackmachine |
| 14:53 | Artox | s/list/least |
| 14:54 | dxtr | Right |
| 20:29 | dxtr | Artox: Do you have an idea where I should start looking for the u-boot patches? |
| 20:42 | dxtr | http://u-boot.10912.n7.nabble.com/PATCH-00-10-Add-Marvell-Dove-and-SolidRun-CuBox-td142035i100.html <- Could this be it? :D |
| 20:42 | Artox | dxtr, forums |
| 20:43 | Artox | http://forum.solid-run.com/linux-kernel-and-bootloaders-f29/u-boot-t2778.html |
| 20:44 | Artox | dxtr, and yes, that is it |
| 20:44 | Artox | Thats the last guy who attempted it |
| 20:44 | dxtr | Ah, perfect |
| 20:57 | vpeter | jnettlet: Would you care to compare this two dmesg http://sprunge.us/OGOW and http://sprunge.us/fOTV |
| 20:57 | vpeter | First one has wifi working (pci device found) and second doesn't see the card. This happens at random. Could be some hw issue with my clearfog? But when card is found wifi also working. |
| 22:48 | dxtr | Artox: Do you remember what u-boot config is/was used? kirkwood? |
| 22:48 | dxtr | I have merged it in the latest u-boot mainline and I'm gonna see if it builds :) |
| 22:49 | dxtr | Oh nevermind |
