hey all. Just red about the cubieboard for the first time. Actually I own some RaspberryPi's and I'm deeply impressed about Cubietruck (=Cubieboard3) which comes with a DualCore Arm7 CPU, 2GB RAM, a Gigabit-capable NIC, and so on... that rocks! As I am interested in Debian I have found out that there is "Cubian" available.

Anyone can tell me, which repository Cubian is using? Will I be able to install the same/all packages, which I know from RaspberryPi's Raspbian OS ? (which is Debian Wheezy)
chihchun is now known as chihchun_afk
bizarro_1 has joined #cubieboard
<rm>
Debian distros for Allwinner just use the standard Debian repository
<rm>
there is no need to recompile everything as in case with the Raspberry Pi
<rm>
standard Debian "armhf" packages just work
<local>
rm: you mean: I can install quite any package which I also know from Debian's default repository? all the packages are in Cubian's repo also available? is there a website I can check for packages and versions?
<local>
can u tell me also: will I have any disadvantage compared to RaspberryPi ? the cubieboard3 has better hw specs as I see, but will I have any issues when compared to RPi ? anything to be aware of?
<rm>
you will also need to compile a kernel with DRBD enabled, it's more commonly not compiled in, in those kernels you will find available...
<rm>
as for 8.4.x, check if it has any kernel version requirement with it
<rm>
currently only the Linux 3.4 kernel is fully usable
<rm>
so it'd be nice if it doesn't need a newer kernel than that

can I attach a Western Digital Red 2TB harddisk directly to the Cubietruck?
<jelly>
sure, just provide power from elsewhere
<jelly>
or wait, cubiretruck

dunno then
Midnightmyth has joined #cubieboard

how about a SSD disk? will a SSD drive attached on the Cubieboard3 work? can I somehow power it from the cubieboard3 itself?
<sbx320>
SSDs should go fine
nils2 has joined #cubieboard
<sbx320>
Just for 3.5'' HDDs you'll certainly need an external power supply
nils_2 has quit [Ping timeout: 240 seconds]

sbx320: is it somehow possible to use a 3,5" HDD (like WesternDigital Red 2TB) and power it through Cubieboard3 directly with a kind adapter or similar?
nils2 is now known as nils_2
<sbx320>
local: no
<local>
and how would a 2,5" SSD disk plugged-in to cubietruck ? it also needs a power cable. Where does it come from?
<sbx320>
the power which the board can supply won't be high enough for the 3.5'' HDD
<sbx320>
but SSDs and most 2.5'' HDDs require less power
<local>
sbx320: I understand that. But what I would like to know: "HOW" is the power connection made from Cubietruck <--> 2,5" SSD drive ?
<local>
next question: is the Cubietruck the best mini-computer at the time or are there any other boards which can offer better harware specs (CPU+RAM, performance in general) ?
zn414 has quit [Quit: Leaving]
<sbx320>
there are surely better ones if you just go for pure hardware power
<jelly>
best for what?
<sbx320>
but they're more expensive
Night-Shade has joined #cubieboard

I need in category mini-computers like "RaspberryPi" , "Arduino", "MarS Board Freescale i.MX6", etc... Which one has better performance (MIPS)? cubietruck or MarS Board Freescale i.MX6 ?
<Night-Shade>
It's hard to gather that sort of information as it's very workload dependent and also the market is so fast moving

is it possible to install the latest Cubian OS onto Cubietruck's NAND memory? If I remember correctly it should have 4 GB space, shouldn't it?
<local>
so I could avoid purchasing an extra SD card
<Night-Shade>
Currently the mainline kernels don't support the internal NAND
<jelly-home>
local: how do you feel about having a NIC that links at 1000Mbps but the SoC can't actually push or pull more than half of that from the network if it has to do anything useful with it
<Night-Shade>
there are patches about to support it
amitabha has joined #cubieboard
<Night-Shade>
which of the SoCs have 1gig and can use it out of interest?
rmarko is now known as impure_hate
<Night-Shade>
I get about 460Mbps from my cubie on iperf
<Night-Shade>
I've not tried anything cpu intensive at the same time mind
<local>
jelly-home: what exactly you mean? please be more specific, I didn't understand. You mean it is NOT possible to achieve 900 MBit/s on the Gigabit NIC on Cubietruck ?
<Night-Shade>
correct
<local>
Night-Shade: well, 460MBit/s are equal to 80MB/sec which is quite good. Far better than 11 MB/sec (=90MBit/s) on a 100MBit/s NIC (like RaspberryPi)
<jelly-home>
Night-Shade: or writing those 80MB/s to disk
<Night-Shade>
iperf is a bandwidth measuring tool and I get 460MBit/s between my desktop and the cubie
<local>
Night-Shade: did/could you try also netio ?
<local>
would be interesting to know
<Night-Shade>
I'd test that for you but the SSD on my cubie has failed
<local>
oh, why that?
<jelly-home>
cubie_board_ can read or write 100MB/s to ssd without a lot of issue; I don't have a cubietruck unfortunately
<Night-Shade>
power failure when writing to it and now doesn't appear on the sata bus
<Night-Shade>
I have a replacement in work just need to collect it tomorrow
<local>
if I would use a Western Digital WD Red 1TB, 2.5", SATA 6Gb/s (WD10JFCX) on the Cubietruck, what write/read speed should I expect?
<Night-Shade>
depends
<Night-Shade>
streaming large reads / writes I'd expect you to be getting 50+MB/s
<Night-Shade>
random reads / writes lower, in some cases much lower
<local>
so if I would transfer data to/from cubietruck the bottleneck would be not the 1000MBit/s NIC but the hard disk ?
<Night-Shade>
most likely yes
<local>
what about when using a SSD like 2.5" Samsung SSD 840 EVO 250GB, 2.5", SATA 6Gb/s (MZ-7TE250BW) ?
<local>
the NIC would be the bottleneck ?
<Night-Shade>
at that point yes
<Night-Shade>
the NIC will be the limit
<local>
nice

are there any SSD disks which are recommended on cubietruck or doesn't matter? I am asking because actually I only own Raspberry Pi's. And I have made the experience, that only certain SD card models or power lines are supported and good for the RPi's. Is there something similar for the cubietruck?
<Night-Shade>
the problem with the Pi is that it's built to such a low budget that the power system is marginal at the best of times
<Night-Shade>
just try plugging in a usb wifi card to a live pi
<Night-Shade>
oops rebot
<local>
Night-Shade: not with my actual power supplys ;) I have found a good one which is very very stable. But I know what you mean, I had such experience in the beginning of my Rpi time :p
<Night-Shade>
I've had a kingston v300 and an intel SSD on my cubietruck without problems
<Night-Shade>
I've used sandisk SD cards without problems
<local>
good to know, thank you
<Night-Shade>
that's about all I can say but for normal (sub 32gb) SD cards I've not seen any ptoblems
<local>
so, I will not be able to install Cubian onto the Cubian directly ? I will have to use a SD card for that OS ?
<Night-Shade>
there are reports about large SD cards being a bit more picky
<Night-Shade>
I personally have a 4gb boot cd card
<Night-Shade>
and boot the kernel + initrd off that and then have the rest on an SSD

what is the maximum write/read speed I could expect from a microSD card? How much can the microSD bus deliver, what is the limitation? Is it worth to purcahse a 16GB Class10 SanDisk microSD card which promises 90-95 MB/sec? Will the interface support that?
