Does FLIRC power up from Shutdown when Emulating a full keyboard ?

When you have removed power the IR receiver flashes on every key press, but doesn't wake up the box.
Quote:Confirmed from the "Maintenance and Service Guide" which is freely downloadable from the HP website. The power supply brick uses "HP Smart ID" technology. If you don't use it, all you will get when you try to turn on is:
"Red Power LED flashes four times, once every second,followed by a two second pause. Beeps stop after fifth
iteration but LEDs continue"

No - FLIRC doesn't appear to Power Up from Shut Down.

F9 at power up will enable the Boot menu to let you chose what to boot from. Probably easier than changing boot order manually for a one-off boot from a USB installer?

how much did you pay for the converter noggin? I think its a mute point if your willing to wait and get one from china Ebay
£1.60

Quote:and noggin if your willing you can buy a £1 bluetooth adaptor from poundland, wonder if that would do the trick LOLTried a cheap Bluetooth adaptor. It stays powered after shut down (i.e. the blue LED stays on on the dongle) but a paired PS3 Blu-ray remote doesn't trigger a power on after a shut down. I bought this Bluetooth dongle because it DOES bring Hackintoshes out of standby - so I suspect it's a good test in this regard (i.e. if this dongle doesn't trigger a power on then others won't either?)
Quote:and noggin I highly recommend this usb wifi adaptor

I use this two floors up and stream 1080 p no problems (on my pi)

this is awesome, all things considered this beats asus chromebox (in everyway, except if size is important to you), even if both units where priced equally! thanks noggin for your time and effort

(2015-06-21, 13:42)noggin Wrote: I get the feeling the MS MCE remote is quite cleverly setup to do a power on trigger via USB (i.e. it enters some form of HID keyboard emulation mode when it is only looking for the Power button signal from the remote?)

its a shame the cable cost about £16, I tried to see if you can buy the cable from ebay, but none specific to this (HP 260 G1) model, but plenty cheap ones for other models, here have a look
http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_from=R...ta&_sop=15
why would hp make a special connector for every single uunit, would be to cost prohibitive so what are the chance that one of these cables will do? have a look at how the connection needs to be (on your unit)
Quote:oh noggin asus chromebox is designed to boot really fast into OS (which is one of the reasons some miss the bootup window to get into bios or something)
as a comparison how fast does it (HP 260 G1) boot into OE? is it much different to asus chromebox? if its fast and wakes up with MCE remote then thats pretty amazing and some users pay quite abit just for that feature alone
Quote:OK, The SSD in the HP 260 is a Sandisk SDSA6MM-032G-1006, CrystalDiskMark 4.0.3 gives it the following performance figures : SeqQ32 read 394 MB/s write 88 MB/s, 4KQ32 read 28 MB/s write 13 MB/s, Seq read 403 MB/s, write 84 MB/s, 4K read 13 MB/s write 12 MB/shttp://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/hp-260-g...p=25355357
The only eMMC I have is a Samsung MBG4GC 32GB in an HP Omni 10, CPU is an Atom Z3770, running 32bit Windows 8.1. CrystalDiskMark 4.0.3 run on it the following performance figures : SeqQ32 read 157 MB/s write 38 MB/s, 4KQ32 read 29 MB/s write 7 MB/s, Seq read 87 MB/s, write 38 MB/s, 4K read 11 MB/s write 6 MB/s.
For comparison, a standard 500GB SATA laptop drive (5400rpm) in the HP 260 gives the following CrystalDiskMark 4.0.3 performance figures : SeqQ32 read 122 MB/s write 121 MB/s, 4KQ32 read 1.1 MB/s write 0.8 MB/s, Seq read 122 MB/s, write 121 MB/s, 4K read 0.5 MB/s write 0.8 MB/s.
As you can see, the Sandisk SSD in the HP 260 G1 is significantly faster than the Samsung eMMC disk.
