Hmm. What images would be good for an xbmc installation with everything other than the kernel and the bootload and such residing on a sata drive?
<utente>
FR^2, no idea.
<FR^2>
hm.
<utente>
neved did bevore, but you can start from your ow nand installation and move one-by-one allo directory you can to sata
<FR^2>
I didn't even succeed in modifying anything concerning kernel, bootload, kernel cmdline, fex, etc. etc. :/
<utente>
did you never tried or you tried but failed?
<FR^2>
I tried and failed. I never succeeded in e.g. defining a fixed mac address.
<utente>
FR^2, go and user macchanger utility. you can place in a script at boot and force your own mac accress.

*to SATA
<FR^2>
wolfy: Okay, but you then have to tell the kernel that the rootfs resides on e.g. /dev/sda1
<wolfy>
just edit the uEnv.root=/dev/nand3 rootwait => root=/dev/$YOURDEVICE

Not using nand, yet - it's my fallback in case nothing else goes ;)
<FR^2>
But I assume on the microSD it's just alike
<wolfy>
FR^2: my nand install was transfered from the same microsd

FR^2, about macc addres, you can try this:

sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces

Hi
<Vanfanel>
I'd like to know if the LIMA driver is mature enough as to use it for EGL/GLES with good results, on the A20 CubieBoard
<Vanfanel>
or are you still depending on closed binaries for that?

raspi guys making a similar product with a kickstarter like funding

its working now on a cubie - cost of $55
<focus>
on a 7" screen + board

but if i make own, then BOM costs are about $20

would go really well with cubies, cubietrucks and so on#

I don't know really, you have to try it, or ask libv.
<Vanfanel>
swabbles: thanks for the links :)

i can use shdc class 10 with cubie?

<Vanfanel>
swabbles: it seems libv is doing an awesome work on this!
<Vanfanel>
just for that, I'd like to go for the Cubie2
<Vanfanel>
I'm thinking about using the closed binary driver while the LIMA project matures a bit
<Vanfanel>
swabbles: how good is the X-less GLES/EGL implementation in the binary driver?
rellla3 has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
<swabbles>
Vanfanel: if you are talking about the driver from ARM Ltd. themselves, then I don't have any idea (I don't run proprietary stuff unless I have to).
<swabbles>
I think there is an IRC channel concerning lima (and ARM Mali in general).
<jelly>
#lima
<Vanfanel>
swabbles: I don't run any propietary stuff if I can avoid that, but it would be a temporary solution. Are you using LIMA driver then?
<Vanfanel>
jelly: I'm on that channel too
<Vanfanel>
but it seems to be pretty much silent now :)
<jelly>
be patient
<swabbles>
Vanfanel: I don't use the Mali chip on my devices at all, atm.
<swabbles>
Since its only purpose is 3D acceleration, which I don't really need.
<Vanfanel>
jelly: Yes, well, I am. I was asking here because I'm very tempted by the Cubie A20 but I want to be sure if will fit my project's needs
<Vanfanel>
swabbles: thanks anyway
<swabbles>
I'd just try the proprietary drivers, if you really want 3D acceleration, or wait for the Lima driver.
<swabbles>
The latter is what most of us are doing anyway.
<popolon>
swabbles, do you use desktop ?
<popolon>
desktop can use 2d acceleration
<swabbles>
popolon: I do use X11 with awesome as window manager, but Mali doesn't do 2D acceleration.
<swabbles>
G2D does the 2D acceleration on Cubieboard 2 (and various other boards) IIRC.
<swabbles>
I basically use xf86-video-fbturbo as driver for that, though.
<popolon>
g2d don't use compositing effect of GPU ?
<swabbles>
It's used for 2D window composition, if that is what you are asking.
<swabbles>
The Mali 400 is only responsible for 3D rendering.
<popolon>
on my test, compositing was really fast, so I supposed that used 3d GPU
<popolon>
that's geometric processor
<popolon>
you can use it for 2d too
<swabbles>
Probably, but there's G2D for that on most ARM chipsets that have a Mali on board as well.
codingrobot has quit [Read error: Operation timed out]
<swabbles>
See xf86-video-armsoc and xf86-video-fbturbo.
<swabbles>
Both use G2D for 2D acceleration.
<popolon>
g2d is a library, it can use hardware (GPU) acceleration
<popolon>
like mali
deasy has joined #cubieboard
<swabbles>
But the thing is: Mali doesn't do 2D, this is exactly what I have been told by people like robclark/libv.
<swabbles>
Yes, there's also a library named G2D (but it's not the same :P).
<popolon>
thanks for the information
<swabbles>
You're welcome, I actually thought the same when I first asked :).
<popolon>
looks like it uses pixman (that use SIMD)
<popolon>
/* then pixman (NEON) */
<popolon>
sorry
<popolon>
/* first try G2D */ ... (beforre)
<popolon>
/* fallback to fbBlt if other methods did not work */
<wolfy>
what would be the best approach to take advantage of hardware of cubieboard2 if the need is to display several video streams ( either mjpg or eventually h264) in the same time ? think of a cubie monitoring several surveillance cameras
<wolfy>
preferably under X11
thesheff17 has joined #cubieboard
<swabbles>
wolfy: basically, you want to use the VPU then (although I am not sure how well it would handle multiple streams, I haven't tried that yet).
diffycat has joined #cubieboard
<wolfy>
swabbles: correct. only that I am not sure what drivers would be needed. I am using fbturbo now
<swabbles>
fbturbo is what you need for plain 2D acceleration (and getting X11 to work).
<swabbles>
For the VPU you can either use the CedarX stuff (the proprietary driver), or VDPAU (which is still considered experimental).
RA3OR has quit [Ping timeout: 246 seconds]

I've got it work with the open-source VDPAU driver.

guys, could you please explain me, how can I extend root partition on my cubieboard? I have Linaro 13.09
