@zarboz

the question is what should be the patch. as the kernel _has_ officially PCI support, it's logged on boot - so much theory around as I myself have no components to test and see with own eyes.

if you wish to build kernel, just clone the xbian-package-kernel build configurations and then open this one (not img building), run this:

Code:

$xbiangit -m imx6-3.14.y

just be sure you have arm-gnueabi cross compiler installed on the machine - available by default from Debian/jessie, Ubuntu/any, Debian/wheezy needs adding debian repo:

Code:

apt-get install gcc-arm-linux-gnueabihf

deb http://emdebian.org/tools/debian/ stable main

(or deb http://emdebian.org/tools/debian/ jessie main in case jessie)

in few moments you get the standard packages as provided (image, zfs modules, headers and libc dev headers). if you want to mess with code & config, the build (unpacked sources) are within ./build/imx6-3.14.y/working (relative to your xbian-package-kernel cloned directory)

btw: still could be there is just no this driver for wifi card compiled in - I already asked - can you tell me again what conf option is module for this BCM94322HM8L ?
last time I enabled B43 as had the feeling from google it should be it ,but maybe even not .

[mk01]

by any chance can you provide sample of such MKV?

what fps it is and what IMX6 device you have ? I never seen a movie to tear personally (although much experience with GUI tearing ). I would worst case send it to the XBMC decoder programers to look at it.

I will grab a video and stats of the files as well as logs tonight after work

that and I have not tested with any other television than my sony bravia tv



I have the I2EX pro board
I still dont have PCI support after updating the kernel to your newest build but have not tried my build of the nightly
the card is a bcm4332 chipset guess the specific board type doesnt matter,

vary familiar with the arm-eabi toolchain i build custom kernels for android phones and we use a linaro version of this toolchain

[zilexa]

In a week I have time again to play with my Cubox-i 4pro, currently running OpenElec. Now I want to switch back to XBian to be able to use other services. Just to sum up the current status of XBian on Cubox-i:

solved = solved after updating XBian
not solved = not solved after updating
workaround available = workaround has been posted here or in previous thread.

After installing latest weekly image http://sourceforge.net/projects/xbian/files/testing/xbian-image-imx6-20150113.img.gz/download

• update issues, status: Not Solved/Workaround available in Beta 2 thread ?
• XBMC rebooting after updating. Status: ?
• CEC issues, status: Solved.
• CDROM not working. Status: Not solved/workaround available in this thread.
• KODI not working correctly yet. Status: in progress
  

Is this more or less correct? I don't mind issues/testing but want to know what I am getting into. As long as there is a workaround to be able to update/prevent XBMC from rebooting while not having to downgrade (could introduce CEC issues?) I am happy. Though Kodi would be nice

[CurlyMo]

- Update issue: solved
- XBMC rebooting issue: was never really an issue from the xbian side but was caused by an incorrect combination of packages forced by the user.
- CEC: don't own CEC tv so ?
- CD-Rom: also not sure.
- KODI: Is simply not stable in our honest oppinion, but is available via apt.

[zilexa]

Just tried XBian on a Cubox-i 4pro again (switched to Openelec a while ago).

the good:
1. CEC works, though sometimes it does not seem to pick up the signal from the remote, I do see the TV led blinking. Have to do more testing.

A few small bugs I notice at first:
1. I had to calibrate the screen (it was "zoomed in") but after a reboot, the system forgets the calibration and I have to do it after every reboot.
2. Contrary to what I stated here earlier, USB drives are properly automounted as usb0, usb1 etc. NTFS works fine and fast (I disabled sync option via Xbian config). Only ExFat is not supported.

EDIT: a big bug, making XBian still unusable for me, after turning tv off and back on again I get this:

[f1vefour]

Do you get that with confluence?

[zilexa]

Sorry for my slow response, it was with Eminence.
This one runs at my parents place and I haven't visited since so I cant test now.

[zilexa]

Also one I forgot to mention: Updating XBian is still not possible I have never been able to update XBian on a Cubox-i. This is the reason why I switched to OpenElec, not that I want to update, but since there were bugs I had no choice and unfortunately it never worked and after trying few things I gave up, after which a working workaround was presented.

Now, with the 7Feb image, updating fails. Everyone can reproduce it by installing that image and try to update after first boot is completed.



This is making me sad!

[f1vefour]

@IriDium or @CurlyMo can you help this ^^^ issue? Richard and I dont have a CuBox.

[zilexa]

I now have a second sd card so I can do more testing. Let me know

[CurlyMo]

@f1vefour, one for the github issues

[zilexa]

I've created 2 issues on github:
update issue: https://github.com/xbianonpi/xbian/issues/676
screen calibration: https://github.com/xbianonpi/xbian/issues/677

I also have an issue with my esata drive. I have created a seperate topic here to ask how we can add "automount" feature for eSATA connected drives.
But even when I add my drive (using the UUID) to fstab, it does not work at boot. After reboot I have to manually run "mount -a" which correctly mounts the drive to the folder I created (/media/esata).
I did not create a ticket since this is still a bit vague to me why mount -a does work.

Ok I've managed to upgrade to a point!!

I started with 20150206-0 and using ssh xbian-config upgraded individually leaving firmware-imx. Eventually all packages were installed except firmware-imx and libdrm2.

I then rebooted and then ran apt-get upgrade. This installed iibrm2.

When trying to upgrade firmware-imx i get the following error.

The following packages have been kept back:
firmware-imx

Xbian is now 20150218 on stable.

so now you have kodi?
did you receive the same error I did when you upgrade all via ssh? posted here: https://github.com/xbianonpi/xbian/issues/676
