pew .. finaly got it got a running udoo with * XBMC * NTFS support * Truecrypt support * FUSE / Device Mapper kernel support Good night
Hi Chistian I will soon publish a hack for wandboard (but very easy to adapt for udoo) that a user sent to me a few weeks ago : It will explain how to use a simple TSOP4838 (I have bought 5 of them for 2euros, including delivery) on a imx6 GPIO. With this you can received IR signal from most remotes and it works just fine. There is no problem to use boblight at the same time I guess. At last you don't even need arduino sketch for this stuff.. Kind regards Stephan
Hi Nexxy, Nice to read that you get it run for your needs... Just to be clear about the kernel option that matter : - FUSE of course, - (To me kernel support for NTFS is not mandatory as ntfs3g which is available only relies on fuse as a kernel component) - CONFIG_BLK_DEV_DM < (RAID AND LOGICAL DEVICE MAPPER) - Is there anything specific in kernel for your truecrypt support (sorry I am not familiar with this solution : It works at userspace level and only use FUSE ? Maybe crypto algo are also required ?) I have already updated my conf with these data to be sure not to forget these pieces of conf for the next release... Kind regards Stephan edit : By the way I have built fuse without a single compilation issue. I don't know what your issue is. Which toolchain do you use ?
Hi Stephan, CONFIG_BLK_DEV_DM is the logical Dev mapper .. used additionally by truecrypt to generate devices out of blockfiles. I also added the crypt algo of the dev mapper to have kernel crypto support Additionally i would add NTFS support in the kernel aswell. (FileSystems -> Dos Files Systems -> NTFS + NTFS write support) First test showed up very good performance on encrypted HDDs + almost no cpu utilitation (about 5-10% on each core while playing 720p mkv from encrypted dev) Greetings Nexxy
Hi Nexxy, For wifi, I have tested it : it works just fine for me (ralink firmwares are installed in /lib/firmware) I don't know what your issue may be. Are there different hw variant with different wifi controllers ? For kernel options I have taken your remarks into account... Juts one question remaining out of curiosity : Why do you insist on ntfs in kernel ? Are there any advantages compared to ntfs3g ? Best regards Stephan
Hi Stephan, another question .. why is tty1-6 ( strg + alt + f1) blocked ? How to unblock that ^^ never saw that this is blockable. Greetings Nex
Hi Nex, I think it has to do with CONFIG_VT at kernel level and that you have to add entries in /etc/inittab ... Best regards Stephan
Hi Stephan, i will try to fix that asap. The /lib/firmware folder doesnt have any files for that wifi chip .. mb i have a old image. I will wait for your next release and retry it. *NTFS in Kernel . I just was too lazy to compile ntfs3g by myself cauz yocto dont have apt-get like debian ^.^ Btw, why did you choose yocto prj instead of ubuntu / debian ? Greetings and Merry Xmas Everybody Nex
Really looking forward to this update, until Udoo team can provide support for HDMI-CNC, this will be a good way to control XBMC. On a separate note, what codec is supported in your version of XBMC? I noticed that when I play rmvb file (Real Video format), I can only hear the audio but no video. I believe the PC version of XBMC does support rmvb. Best Regards Patrick
Thank you Stephan, XMBC image works fine with SMB, I can view the videos from my other PC. I plugged a 3.5" HDD sata, which is /dev/sda. I didn't find the way for sharing it on my network and access it like : \\192.168.0.15\videos because I want to copy films from my PC to th UDOO. Maybe it's very simple...
Hi Stephan I'm having some issues playing a remuxed mkv containing dts-hd master 5.1 Perhaps you or others can tell if you had encountered same issue? Best regards Christian
In context to what? You have no other posts in this thread, so you might be in the wrong place. Please notice there are several threads for XBMC... //Chris
Hi! I can't find the way to propperly install the XBMC image on my MicroSD. I have tried both burning it through Win32diskimager and the uncompressing and installation process through dd command with an Ubuntu Live CD to a 32Gb Sandisk MicroSD. Both of them seem to succeed, but when I try to boot my UDOO Quad with this MicroSD nothing happens (I only see the UDOO "Welcome" screen). Any tips? Thanks in advance, Hector.
XBMC distro runs quite warm when idling (54C). Is this normal. Linaro 12.04 by contrast runs much cooler. Can anything be done to reduce the temperature on XBMC distro?
Hi Stephan, if i kill xbmc and restart the x server from the shell by typing "x" ill get many errors .. scrolling down at the background of xbmc. Errors like [ERR] cant allocate mem. .. .( while 800mb are free to use ) or cHRM chunk does not match sRGB or known incorrect sRGB profile etc. Greetings Nex
Hi all Is there someone here who already uses an internal hard drive with this release ? it would be interesting to have a feedback : what kind of partition ? Does it work with ext3 (no ntfs yet) ? the goal is to store videos>4Gb accessible from PC under windows. thx
