Xbian 1.0 Alpha 5 download location

[mk01]

are you sure with the config.txt?

as RaspBMC is officially stating that XBian feels better/faster because it's higher default clocking. but from this it looks like RaspBMC is running important clock at 25% faster.

but unimportant for that case - if you don't want to match clocks at the beginning. for start change your XBian cmdline.txt to this:

Code:

dwc_otg.lpm_enable=0 quiet sdhci-bcm2708.enable_llm=1 dwc_otg.microframe_schedule=1 dwc_otg.fiq_fix_enable=0 dwc_otg.fiq_split_enable=0 dwc_otg.trans_backoff=3000 console=tty1 root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 rootflags=subvol=root/@,autodefrag,compress=lzo rootfstype=btrfs rootwait logo.nologo quiet noswap  mod_scsi.scan=sync partswap startevent=mountall splash nohdparm --startup-event mountall

for avoiding CEC updates there is much better approach in putting specific package on hold. then others will be updated automatically, CEC never.
you definitely have to update kernel & specially firmware. otherwise the test is useless.

BTW: core clock of 375 to Xbian's 270 is like comparing two different machines. coreclock specifically affects response times.

but if you are not afraid of a bit manual action, you can just match RaspBMC firmware & kernel by copying

Code:

/boot/start_x.elf -> /boot/start.elf
/boot/fixup_x.dat -> /boot/fixup.dat
/boot/bootcode.bin ->
/boot/kernel.img ->
/lib/modules/3.10.24 ->
/opt/ ->

then still without reboot run on XBian

Code:

sudo xbian-update-initramfs
