I'm going to be blunt..... This is a development thread. If you're not developing, please don't post in it! Pretty please. Keep the discussion to the development of CSOS on the Cubietruck
The primary reason for me creating this thread, is not so users can get up and running with the Cubietruck, it is so I can share my notes with the other developers. (Triode has a Cubietruck now. And an old friend of mine, Tim, who knows nothing about all things Squeezebox, but is a rather talented developer and knows his way around Linux with his eyes shut, is coming on board.) The initial BETA image is 'CSOS-Cubietruck-F20-BETA1-20140417-1.img.7z' (http://www.vacuumtube.org.uk/images/cubie/CSOS/F20-BETA1/CSOS-Cubietruck-F20-BETA1-20140417-1.img.7z). It requires extraction to a 8GB SDCARD. It is based on the Lubomir Rintel F20 remix image, 'Fedora-Xfce-armhfp-20-a10-1-sda.raw.xz' (http://fedorapeople.org/~lkundrak/a10-images/Fedora-Xfce-armhfp-20-a10-1-sda.raw.xz). DISPLAY Image still boots into xfce at the moment. jivelite-autologin is installed but disabled. (If intend to use HDMI output, make sure screen is connected before boot device.) EDID detection is better than Wandboard. Even works with my non-spec compliant Samsung TV, which causes problems with the WB. Image can be modified to boot with jivelite on tty1 (console frame buffer) .... Code: -------------------- cd /lib/systemd/system sudo ln -sf multi-user.target default.target sudo systemctl disable getty@tty1.service sudo systemctl enable autologin@tty1.service sudo reboot -------------------- CREDENTIALS User: fedora Password: fedora Root Password: fedora KERNEL The kernel has been updated to 3.4.79, 'linux-sunxi sunxi-3.4 branch' (https://github.com/linux-sunxi/linux-sunxi), plus two patches. 'ap6210: merge a working driver' (https://github.com/cubieboard/linux-sunxi/commit/aff95a2fc4192f72c9ff33abfd17144e25773c5a), for wi-fi support and ' Use a default keymap suitable for Squeezebox remote controls to work with Jivelite.' (), for "out of the box" Squeezebox remote support via the built-in IR receiver. Kernel config used to build is "/boot/config-3.4.79.sun7i+". NETWORKING Device will announce itself as cubietruck.local (avahi/mdns/bonjour) WI-FI The ap6210 contains Broadcom bcm40181 for wi-fi and bcm20710 for Bluetooth. The wi-fi support on the linux-sunxi kernel is via the bcmdhd driver. (I've had the misfortune to cross paths with this steaming great pile of doggy doo-doo before. Less said the better....) Anyway, wi-fi is supported by mainline fmac driver, same as we use for the Wandboard, when we shift to mainline. NB. The bcmdhd driver is compiled as a modules and needs the gpio_sunxi module as it depends on that to power off/on the wi-fi via a GPIO. (See "/etc/modules-load.d/cubietruck_wifi.conf".) BLUETOOTH Same as I did for the wandboard, via a system service, brcm20710-bluetooth. Uses brcm_patchram_plus to upload firmware, before hciattach on the serial tty. (Currently disabled. Needs looking at. Uploading the firmware hardly ever succeeds.) ETHERNET You'll probably want to edit "/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0" and uncomment MACADDR= to avoid the device using a different MAC every boot, if you want IP to be "sticky" via dhcp. SQUEZELITE systemd service enabled, but using null audio device. LMS 7.9 versions installed. service disabled. WEB GUI Lua web gui via "http://cubietruck.local";. (Java web gui also installed but tomcat disabled.) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JackOfAll's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3069 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=101378 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
