wake from suspend is working 100% here as well (just tested on 4.1.6, suspending/resuming about 20 times), using both an HP 5187-4593 receiver as well as a MS 1040 receiver, with either an HP MCE remote or a Harmony One programmed as a MCE.

Hi Matt,

What skin? I just want to rule it out. I'll try changing back to the default skin. In Aeon Nox 5 the settings menu/options look different. I get the same exact behavior on my windows machine with Aeon Nox 5 skin, will not wake.

Just a quick question, is there a way to change the boot order in the coreboot firmware? I have to unplug my external HD because it is first on the device list and the onboard SSD HD is second, everytime I reboot or power on

I'll get the proper model number later but I can confirm that wake from suspend also works great with a Sony branded MCE receiver that looks like this:

give me the model # and I'll add it to the wiki

the default was changed to the internal HDD starting with the 2014-06-06 release, so you must be using an older version. Update to the latest version per the wiki and you should be good to go.

You may add my Ortek too.

Exact model is VRC-1100

Receiver and included remote work great (editing keymap would have to be done for perfect match)
Works great with harmony, and harmony has a profile ready for ortek, than just add MCE or Windows Media Center.

Installed the latest release with vaapi drivers.

Didn't have that much figures from the standard OE, but first things when watching TV (tested at least 15 mins for each).

- Using VAAPI Bob and Bilinear : cpu 10-15% no fan

Code:

Adapter: ISA adapter
Physical id 0:  +53.0°C  (high = +100.0°C, crit = +100.0°C)
Core 0:         +51.0°C  (high = +100.0°C, crit = +100.0°C)
Core 1:         +49.0°C  (high = +100.0°C, crit = +100.0°C)

- Using VAAPI MC + Lancosz3 optimized : cpu 15/20% and still no fan :o

Code:

Adapter: ISA adapter
Physical id 0:  +62.0°C  (high = +100.0°C, crit = +100.0°C)
Core 0:         +58.0°C  (high = +100.0°C, crit = +100.0°C)
Core 1:         +56.0°C  (high = +100.0°C, crit = +100.0°C)

I can get properly the fan status, so I just stick my hear close to the HP in a silent room.

This is preliminary feedback have to test more, but this is a game changer, for both haswell and SB.

[c0mm0n]

In the second setup the fan will eventually make some noise (acceptable).
I reverted to the "low" settings, and the chromebox goes silent again.

Seems Lancozs3 optimized is causing the CPU extra load and temperature rises.

Lancosz3 + VAAPI Bob = fan noise (cpu > 60)
Bilinear + VAAPI MC = no fan noise (cpu around 54-55)

So you'd stay in bilinear if you want to keep things cool and silent but using MC doesn't seem to make a noticeable diff with Bob.

Have to check Yadif,; but I think it'll hit the cpu > heat > noise.

i'm not a "noise nazy" but I find it interesting to see If I can keep it silent most of the time (like the NUC). And monitoring the noise gives extra infos on options, load, settings, etc..

---

There's something weird :
- Try De-interlace (yadif right ?) and bilinear
- Cpu load jumps to 60%

=> Cpu temp is still at 57° and stable ?

How can the cpu be at >50% load and stay @57° on one side and jump to >60° with a 20% load !? oO

PS : when I say "no fan" I'm not sure it's totally off, I just dont hear it with my hear at 5/10cms. It may still be running.

[m0ngr31]

the Sony PS3 remote I have for testing works fine after reboot/upgrade etc, so it's not a system-wide BT issue. Your K760 is un-pairing itself after a reboot?

How'd you get the PS3 remote working? Are you on OpenELEC or Ubuntu?

As the CPU and GPU are on the same chip - could it be that the GPU is playing a part in heat generation? So with VAAPI MC and Lancosz3 the GPU is working harder (and generating heat) than with YADIF and Bilinear - and if the GPU is working harder this may contribute more heat than the CPU working hard?

[c0mm0n]

I see what you mean, but still get puzzled with the outcome. Will check again tomorrow.

For now i'm like

The Chromebox is just a great little XBMC platform. Once VAAPI with MCDI is integrated into an OpenElec release it will be pretty close to perfect.

We should have an OE release soon If I get the guy on IRC or fritsch comes back from holiday.

[Matt Devo]

OE is my preferred platform, and the one I'll continue to develop for. The PS3 remote issue that appeared with the 4.1.1 beta has been fixed (by me) in 4.1.6

We should have an OE release soon If I get the guy on IRC or fritsch comes back from holiday.

you don't want to take me up on my offer to do custom builds? <sniff>

btw, for all who have complained about the HP having a loud(er) fan, I'll be testing one later this week, and have another/different fan enroute for testing as well. Core i5 NUC users whose boxes have the same fan (Delta BSB05505HP) have also been complaining on Intel's forums, so it's likely a hardware (rather than firmware) issue, but I'll get to the bottom of it either way.

[c0mm0n]

I take your build anytime ! I asked fritsch what would be the guidelines on adding the vaapi driver as I had no idea how to do that, and would have then sent the iso to you.

If you can do it yourself that's just perfect (by the way i'm curious how you add the driver to the OE build, if you have some insights on the method).

The vaapi ppa seems stable enough to be included as an experimental build.
