hi all. I am looking into cubieboard for a project I am that will play mp3 files and also connect to a remote server via wget to retrieve new mp3 files (if available). I am currently using raspberry pis for this project however I am running into SD Card corruption. If I were to install the OS onto the nand of the cubieboard would I see similar corruption?
<Gumby`>
the corruption of the sd cards is actually destroying the cards within roughly 2.5 weeks of continuous use in some cases
<rm>
I don't think anyone measured NAND flash durability compared to SD card durability
<rm>
I wouldn't expect it to be much higher
<rm>
also, many people use SD cards for years, so what you have seems abnormal
<rm>
did you consider storing MP3 files in RAM?
<rm>
could mount some folder as tmpfs
<rm>
with Cubieboard's 1GB of RAM there's plenty of space
<Gumby`>
rm: people use sd cards for years yes, however not 24/7 and not often with an OS writing data to it relatively often. If you were to check the raspberry pi forums you'd see I'm far from alone in this issue
<Gumby`>
I aleady mount /var/log/ and /tmp as tmpfs
<Gumby`>
ram may be an option, but that would mean each time the system boots new media would need to be downloaded. this is ok for a few units running, but not in the case that 50+ are used in the field
<Gumby`>
so far I have seen about 15 SDHC cards fail. Most 4GB and a few 8GB, different bands, different classes
<Gumby`>
s/bands/brands
<user>
Gumby`, to do continue writing on SD cards is the perfectway to destroy them. chip flash on CB is same technology of SD, so if you do continue writing on flash, you will destroy it. ise sata disk for continue I/O, NOT theSD or flash.

<user>
no still not exist. u can do home-made pastic layers to tun in a pile CB and HD. I plan to to tat. not nice to see, but it works.

I did this project for a client and now I am regretting it. as mentioned there are about 30 pis in the field and about 15 have had failed SD cards, some after only two weeks of use. I'm still seeing failures even after making mods to the base OS to stop as many writes as I can.

teste it only around 10 oclock PM....

so... :-/

hehe, I was getting anxious when you said you were having troubles, because I'm building a bot that uses a webcam
<SquirrelCZECH>
:D
* SquirrelCZECH
lost because of this problem 2 months :-)
<SquirrelCZECH>
just because I didn't know one single thing... :-)
<lunra>
Thanks for telling me the solution, I'll add LEDs to the front of the bot :D
<SquirrelCZECH>
lunra: but this problem showed after I "manually" selected 1Ghz on CPU
<SquirrelCZECH>
because otherwise there was 90% load (cpu scaling worked well) and I thought that cubie is just not powerfull enoug
<SquirrelCZECH>
*enough
<SquirrelCZECH>
after I set 1Ghz, I saw on "top" that "ffmpeg" creates only 5% load (6FPS around that time) so it's ... :-)
<SquirrelCZECH>
lunra: :D
<SquirrelCZECH>
I supposed that if webcam woudln't lower the framerate
<lunra>
What's the load like at the full FPS and 1GHz?
<SquirrelCZECH>
you woudln't see a thing...
<SquirrelCZECH>
lunra: oooh
<SquirrelCZECH>
didn't tested :D
<SquirrelCZECH>
and it's dark already
<lunra>
yep, "Try increasing the available light. In a reduced light setting the webcam automatically increases its exposure time in order to compensate. If the camera did not do this and continued to run at a fixed 25-30 fps then the video would be quite dark."
<SquirrelCZECH>

not to mention things like fn + f5/f6 for brightness control

I wouldn't run Arch on a laptop if I were you, because I'd expect a laptop to be working when you need it, and Arch doesn't provide any stability guarantees
<Baikonur>
who does
<SquirrelCZECH>
ehm
<SquirrelCZECH>

<SquirrelCZECH>
but you have to be experienced user

and you have to check archlinux.org, and some other things to do everytime
<lunra>
yeah
<SquirrelCZECH>
Baikonur: on first try?
<SquirrelCZECH>
yes
<lunra>
but things can go wrong much easier on Arch
<SquirrelCZECH>
but on 4th I installed it after 4 hours? :-)
<SquirrelCZECH>
lunra: yes
<SquirrelCZECH>
but if you spend time learning ...
<lunra>
For one, a smaller userbase and more updates mean less testing
<SquirrelCZECH>
you become experienced user with system that can give you really good results ;-)
<SquirrelCZECH>
lunra: But I've got your point
<Baikonur>
i installed linux minty debian edition with cinnamon desktop on the laptop (or netbook rather), but i'm not happy with it
<lunra>
Arch is my favourite distro now, but I wouldn't run it on a critical server for instance (even now that there's package signing)
<Baikonur>
(or is it just mint, without the y?)
<SquirrelCZECH>
for me ... archlinux-stable would be "gold" under the heaven
<SquirrelCZECH>
because I can't find any single distribution with a such nice KISS thinking
<Baikonur>
but using arch would teach me so much more about linux than using something like minty or ubuntu
<SquirrelCZECH>

is dbus running?

hey guys, please, is there _any_ easy to use linux image which runs (or contains, in the best case) xbmc/vlc smooth and setting everything up doesn't take hours?
asterick has joined #cubieboard
<Undertasker>
mbriza, there is currently NO XBMC version that runs really smooth on A10.
<Undertasker>
If you are looking for a cheap XBMC platform, try Raspberry Pi or Amlogic based boards
<Undertasker>
There is also no official support for A10 by XBMC developers
<Undertasker>
Support from Allwinner is so bad, that they stopped all activities.

undertasker, not really smooth, but a bit.
<Undertasker>
Some independent developers are still trying
<rellla>
have you tested xbmc yet?
<Undertasker>
Yes, but not with hardware support
<mbriza>
Undertasker: ah, thanks, well, haven't got this far to be honest
<Undertasker>
All versions I tested need about 100% system load, and will fry the A10 sooner or later, if you don't use a heat spreader
<rellla>
then you should try it with hardware support imo.
<Undertasker>
All version I found had so many problems that i gave up
<Undertasker>
The latest nightlies from official XBMC don't even install on A10
<rellla>
it IS working smooth. but not all codecs are working perfectly.
<Undertasker>
Well, I'm not in the mood to compile it myself today
<rellla>
after that, report and think about recommending to buy allwinner ;) cubieboard is a10, too btw.
<Undertasker>
Actually, I'm thinking of selling all my A10 stuff and switching to something with a real datasheet
tinti has quit [Quit: Leaving]
<Undertasker>
Freescale, maybe
<rellla>
when did you start with allwinner?
<Undertasker>
before christmas
<Undertasker>
Did you compile it?
<rellla>
don't know if there is any better support for video-decoding by the others - freescale, amlogic...
<Undertasker>
amlogic: partly, because it is one of the main hardwares for xbmx development
<Undertasker>
freescale: yes, the datasheets for the i.mx6 is publicly available, and about 100 times the size of the A10 datasheet
<rellla>
i have a mygica a11 here, but not tried very much with it. xbmc works, but streaming mpeg2-ts was even more worse then on a10.
<Undertasker>
Also freescale supports the development of OS graphics/video drivers

Undertasker: Allwinner is who sells the cheapest soc
<Undertasker>
Maybe, but the docs are crap
<vinifm>
yeah, I agree and hope that this will change
<Undertasker>
Also, i don't understand why Olimex is selling A13 boards for industrial use. The A13 is a cheap entertainment SOC. Without proper docs and without any certification.
<Undertasker>
If you use this for an industrial project, and anything bad happens, you will go to jail
<Undertasker>
While I like the idea to port linux to cheap consumer hardware, and use it for interesting projects, having no usable documentation sucks.
