CuBox Project X

[Kunter]

Thanks a lot for sharing your CuBox project.Sounds too good to be true
Is there a possiblity to integrate Quboz in this setup somehow?

Sorry, this one fell off the cracks...

Yes, it is possible. Using Squeezebox/lms setup. I have not tried to install that yet though...

edit: tip for Kunter and any future owners of the Cubox. The real time tuning settings (http://mubox.voyage.hk/realtime_kernel_cuboxi) are not persistent and thus lost after a reboot. I created a script and call that from rc.local to reapply these settings after every reboot.

Code:

for IRQ in /proc/irq/* ; do echo 1 > $IRQ/smp_affinity ; done
for PID in $(pgrep ci_hdrc) ; do taskset -pc 1 $PID ; done
echo 2 > /proc/irq/72/smp_affinity
echo 2 > /proc/irq/75/smp_affinity
taskset -pca 2,3 $(pgrep mpd)
chrt -f -p 49 $(pgrep cifsd)
ps -eLo pid,group,lwp,rtprio,priority,time,cmd | egrep "cifsd"

I just found an easier way...

in the web interface to Mubox, there is the "system" tab and under that, there is a "cron" tab.

You can edit the crontab file in the window provided. It basically is a scheduler.

For anything you want to be run at startup, just put a @reboot in front and write the command over there.

So my crontab file looks like this now:

# m h dom mon dow command
#*/5 * * * * ( /etc/init.d/voyage-sync sync
@reboot mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /media/ata1
@reboot for IRQ in /proc/irq/* ; do echo 1 > $IRQ/smp_affinity ; done
@reboot for PID in $(pgrep ci_hdrc) ; do taskset -pc 1 $PID ; done
@reboot echo 2 > /proc/irq/72/smp_affinity
@reboot echo 2 > /proc/irq/75/smp_affinity
@reboot taskset -pca 2,3 $(pgrep mpd)

The first mount is to mount the eSATA drive to the media folder so the MPD sees the files inside.

Cheers.
