Which of the following images should you download, for my humming board pro with imx6 https://www.recalbox.com/es/download/stable/allimages/
Unfortunately that project does not build images compatible with our platforms. This system is built using buildroot, which does have full support for our boards using the mx6cubox_defconfig
configuration. It should be relatively easy to add support for our boards to the project.
CuBox should work
The version of Cubox downloaded from the web page will not work on hummingboard sbcs, you will only see it start in a loop.
For it to work, you have to include the corresponding sbc dtb file in the lakka boot partition, and add imx6dl-hummingboard.dtb or corresponding to each model.
So our u-boot for the iMX6 (mainline also) will auto-detect the board it is running on and properly select the proper device-tree file. All that is needed is to include all the imx6cubox and hummingboard files in the boot partition. It should work seamlessly.
i searched the file, but i could not find it. Please can you show me where download it. thank you
I will try and write up some instructions for you. Will also test this out myself. Which emulators are you most interested in? I am thinking about doing some benchmarking on the CuBox vs CuBox-M
Hello @jnettlet, any news on how to do it?
I am interested in Mame emulator mainly.
I have downloaded the lakka image and indeed, it loops.
From what I understand, we need to add files to the img folder to make it work?
I managed to have it launched by :
- copying every files from u boot image directory to both extlinux and root folder from SD card
- copying and renaming imx6dl-cubox-i.dtb to imx6dl-hummingboard.dtb
but I guess it can be optimized and the interface is veeeeeery slow so I guess I did probably something wrong
I downloaded and installed the hummingboard iso, but I always got an error saying that a file was missing, because I found this file in another iso, an iso that is general, I just copied it and everything worked fine, I uploaded the games online , by the winscp program
Ola, so you found the file imx6dl-hummingboard.dtb in another lakka iso, copied it to the root folder of your SD car and it worked ?
Edit : I reply to myself : yes, simply find the dtb file and copyright it to root folder of your SD card.
Bonus question :
It is still very slow on my hummingboard (in fact it’s not playable)
I have a “Jeedomboard” so it’s based on a Solo/DualLite so supposedly 1 cpu and 500 mb of ram…
Isn’t it enough to play 80’s game (Mame)???
Any way to “activate” the second CPU ?
Yes, first download iso for humming board, later I found the file inxdl-hummingboard.dtb in another lakka iso, exactly, so all works fine. Do you speak Spanish?
Hello @zeFTP.
I’m also user of JeedomBoard mono with specs similar to the HummingBoard i1.
Since last update of Jeedom, this box becomes useless and I want to try to reuse it for retrogaming with Lakka distribution.
Did you suceed to run correctly Lakka on your side ?
