No problem, Alberto! On another subject, and desperately trying to stop myself from engaging rant mode....... This is not directed at you Castalla, or not at you specifically..... There hasn't been a week gone by where I don't get asked, are you (or can you) support this ARM hardware. We support the Wandboard. Yes, it's not the only imx6 game in town. If you can get CS stuff running on another imx6 device, good for you! Will it work out of the box? I don't know, I haven't tried it. Same goes with possibly adding support for AllWinner. It'll be on that basis, that we can say with certainty that it works on this specific device. I can't say about some other device that I don't own. People need to be aware, that stuff doesn't just work "out of the box". There are always some "foibles" that need to be dealt with. Whether it's the "random" generation of ethernet MAC address, every boot, on these Cubieboard devices or something else. Right now, I'm looking at what needs to happen with the IR driver (the Cubietruck has an IR receiver on board) to make it support a Squeezebox remote on initial boot. My expectation, at first look at how the driver is implemented, was great, can load a keymap from rc.local. Then on closer examination, it appears not to use the "usual" run-time mechanism, need to edit a header file with the mapping and re-compile the module. The point is this, that while it's possible to make anything work on anything, given time and resource, things don't just work. I'm never going to say, this works on that, unless I have actually done it myself. It's the whole reason I am sitting on my hands over supporting the BBB. Do I know CSOS F20 works on the BBWhite? Hell, yes! Should there be any issues... Well, on paper, a faster CPU and double the RAM. Why should that cause an issue, right? Until I have a BBB in my hands...... And the frustrating thing for me, I look at the TP Cape thread this morning... Control the ES9018 via I2C from the driver. That's new, isn't it?. But I was here 6 months ago, with a TP Buffalo connected to a Wandboard via I2S and controlling it via ALSA mixer controls which then communicate with the DAC via I2C. LOL. I am massively frustrated that we appear to be going backwards, while others are going forwards. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JackOfAll's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3069 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=99395 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
