Wrote on the subject of Octane2 with V8 and ESI at Nov. 18, 2006, 12:41 p.m...

Hello all,

I didn't see much info on this while searching through the forums, so if this is a repeat I apologize in advance, but in case it isn't here we go....

I am running an Octane2 with both a V8 and an ESI board. I am told this is an unsupported configuration but it seems to work nicely!! It took a little bit to get it working, namely I only had OpenGL and thus MPlayer, Quake3, etc on the ESI driven monitor (worked intermittently and not much fun). So....I got it to switch over to the V8 by re-symlinking libGL.so and libGLcore.so in:

/var/arch/lib
/var/arch/lib32
/var/arch/lib64

To the ones present in:

/usr/gfx/arch/IP30ODSY
/usr/gfx/arch/IP30ODSY32
/usr/gfx/arch/IP30ODSY64

respectively. After that I didn't even need a reboot and everything just worked. It would seem that the only drawback is that I can't have OpenGL on both screens, but that's fine with me, I'm using the other one for gaim, firefox, etc. You CAN also run at different refresh rates across the two monitors too, so don't worry about that.

To get it running from scratch install the XiO card load IRIX from or boot into the miniroot and do:

keep *
install fresh

This will add the additional drivers you need for the extra card. After it reboots do the fix described above and if your machine works as well as mine did you should be all set! Additionally, you can do:

chkconfig -f xinerama on

to enable xinerama (desktop spanned across both monitors) which also seems to work great.

Let me know if this works for anyone else.

Wrote on the subject of I'm going fiber at March 11, 2008, 7:06 p.m...

Hey man, nothing wrong with fiber! I'm running a large amount of it at my house and I really have a good reason, HONEST! First off I drink the Cisco coolade so at the core of my network lies a Catalyst 5505 blade switch with a IIIG supervisor engine, a GBIC interface card, 2x24 port 10/100 cards and a Route Switch Module. Why you ask? It runs several vlans with Layer 3 MLS and trunks to the Catalyst 3548XL in my livingroom over gigabit fiber.

I used fiber instead of copper for the simple reason that copper GBICs are horridly expensive compared to short haul mmf ones and SX fiber Gigabit NICs also tend to be insanely inexpensive ;-)

It's also worth noting that with the recent rise in copper prices fiber is often much cheaper at great lengths.

At the edge of my network lies a Cisco 2611 with a 100Base-T WIC card that does all the routing to my ISP. I also have a 2500 that acts as a VPN server on occasion. :twisted:

You might also like to know that I have an IBM 8229 token ring to ethernet bridge so I can talk to my old token ring stuff if I get the need and a little thinnet for good measure. The 8229 is definitely worth looking into if you insist on running token ring like I do (got mine for free), just don't expect amazing speed going from token ring to Ethernet if you do that (token ring frames fragment when they're bridged to 10Base). Either way, I understand your addiction and good luck!

Wrote on the subject of Anyone Get LINUX Working On An Octane? at July 23, 2008, 10 a.m...

I've had Debian Sarge (back when that was new) running on one of my Octanes with Dual 300 and ESI graphics. Surprisingly, the speed wasn't bad and it was very usable. I built a cross compile toolchain on one of my other linux boxes and custom built a kernel for it based on the patches from linux-mips.org, then net-booted it. I was able to install Debian-MIPS via NFS. After that, I compiled Xorg with the patches from here: http://www.linux-mips.org/~skylark/ and was able to get Gnome/firefox/etc going with no trouble after that. It was basically a fully functional linux system. The previous link also contains the status of the Octane Drivers, etc. It actually ran fairly well and I didn't have much trouble with it at all. Let it be known that I do very much prefer IRIX though :-)

Probably, I think ARCboot allows for dual boot capability or you could just swap hard drives which is what i used to do. I have had both an Odyssey and an ESI in the same system before and used it to do Dual monitors on IRIX even, so this isn't far fetched at all I wouldn't think. FYI Dual odyssey works well too if you take the carriers off but you have to be really careful inserting them into the machine. Once in they stay pretty well though. Unfortunately it still looks like Odyssey isn't supported in linux. :-(

Having both Odyssey and Impact cards in the same system can be a little tricky, I posted awhile back on this here: viewtopic.php?f=3&t=12242

Wrote on the subject of X-Brick on O300? at Aug. 14, 2008, 8:11 p.m...

Does anyone know if this is possible? I've hung the X-Brick off the XIO connector on my lowest numbered O300 brick. I'm able to communicate with the brick's L1 controller and configure it, but it doesn't seem to get detected at all, nor does anything I put in it. (Has a V10 in it right now). Yes, the obvious stuff is covered, I have a power bay, and L2 controller, and an R brick in the setup right now and all that works flawlessly. Could it be something to do with the Numbering of the X brick? Everything is set to rack 1 and stacked in the following order: O300 (1.1) O300 (1.2) R Brick (1.3) X Brick (1.4). and as stated before, the X Brick is tied to 1.1 via the XIO connector on the back.

Thoughts?

Thanks!

Wrote on the subject of X-Brick on O300? at Aug. 15, 2008, 5:54 a.m...

Yes, I'm using an Origin 3k R brick from another system, and yes I did have serial mismatch errors, but now I don't. All that remains now is to find some more O300 systems to link in :-)

I also thought about giving a C brick a try.... The Origin 300/3000 systems are very similar, I think if anything the issue with the X-Brick is probably just in the prom/kernel for the IP45. The fact that I can actually talk to the X-Brick's L1 controller seems to prove that it's actually talking though. Has anyone else tried this?

I have a V10 out of an Octane in there, you have to remove the XIO carrier and the slot divider in the X brick (6 screws I think it was) and it'll slide right in.

I've yet to get the origin to even see the X-Brick, so that may be a show stopper. Still looking to know if anyone has any idea whether or not that actually works on an O300?

Yeah, I got the X brick for almost nothing so it was worth a try. I'm thinking about maybe trying to throw a C-brick in there to see if I could hang the x-brick off that instead. It would be interesting just to see if I could get the C brick to work anyway.

Indeed....and someday (as much as I hate to say it) IRIX will no longer be maintained whereas Linux looks like it will be around for the foreseeable future. So maintaining some sort of usefulness on some really cool vintage hardware would be nice... There's no harm in trying.

This does work....I've done it with a V8/V6 setup before.... You just have to remove the bottom halves of the XIO carriers and for the love of god...be careful sliding the cards in there....

Wrote on the subject of Multithreaded Mencoder Crash & Encoding Help at June 15, 2009, 8:23 p.m...

I've been doing some captures with my new Octane Compression board (thanks recondas!) using the following command from Ian's howto (thanks also to Ian):

Code:

dmrecord -p video,device=impact,comp=jpeg,engine=impact,brate=30000000 -p audio,channels=2

That worked great...although I get some pretty hefty video from it. :-)

So I decided to try and convert it down to something more portable using mencoder, but if I try and use more than one thread it crashes with a bus error. I'm trying with the following command:

Code:

mencoder ./test.mov -oac lavc -ovc lavc -lavcopts threads=2 -o test.avi

Is this a known issue? I couldn't find anything in the forums about it.

I've also tried using ffmpeg but I get some nasty video artifacts (a bar in the middle of the screen) where it was presumably stitched together...if I use a single thread it works fine. Also using 3 threads produces 2 bars, etc,etc. I used this command for ffmpeg:

Code:

ffmpeg -i ./file.mov -s 720x496 -mbd rd -flags +4mv+aic -trellis 2 -cmp 2 -subcmp 2 -g 300 -pass 1/2 -threads 2  file.mpg

dmconvert also seems to be single threaded only....

Anyone have any ideas on this? I'd love to be able to do some multithreaded encoding with a decent result so I can make use of some Origin muscle for encoding. :-)

If anyone has any other recommendations I'm open to those as well.

Thanks!
-Jesse

Wrote on the subject of wtf: Tezro prices at June 24, 2010, 9 a.m...

Having just acquired a Tezro, I can tell you that it is an amazing machine and (to me) well worth what I paid for it ($975 with shipping). Unfortunately, due to switching jobs and moving, I haven't had a lot of time to use it yet, but so far it is AWESOME.

As a daily driver (at home) SGI user that sold a Mac Pro (and never once missed it) to upgrade his Octane 2, I 100% agree with sybrfreq. I went SGI all the way, and I have not been disappointed. Be warned though, this path is certainly not for everyone. The way I look at it was this: I paid 3x as much as I did for the Tezro for a machine that I grew to despise. $1000 - $2000 is not a lot to spend for a daily driver machine if you're a computer person, just figure out where your priorities are.

Just my $0.02.

Before I start I'd very much like to reiterate that I am *NOT* responsible for any damages resulting from the use or misuse of any information I provide on this forum nor am I responsible if your Origin suddenly becomes sentient and decides to take over the world.

Now that that's out of the way, onto some good stuff.

This all started when I had some problems with my R brick on my O300...the l1 wouldn't start (was getting the couldn't contact L1 error on the display). I'd experienced this before when the Dallas chip had either fallen out of it's socket (usually during shipping) or failed. I borrowed a Dallas chip from a spare fuel motherboard, since they both use the same type (DS1742W-120) and it fixed my issue, but also seemed to yield some additional unexpected fruit:

09/16/10 19:07:19 INFO: System serial number reassigned to M1000707 from attached L2.

After seeing that, I set out to determine whether or not this could be reproduced, or if my serial number was simply corrupted when my R brick went haywire. I bought another R brick off of ebay and several of the previously mentioned Dallas DS174W-120 chips from quest components ( http://www.questcomp.com ).

Here's the procedure as I followed it:
I started by powering up the R brick and making sure it already had a serial number set:

Code: Select all


001r27-L1>serial all




Data                            Location      Value


------------------------------  ------------  --------


Local System Serial Number      NVRAM         L1000362


Reference System Serial Number  Attached L2   M1000707


Local Brick Serial Number       EEPROM        LPR391


Reference Brick Serial Number   NVRAM         LPR391

As you can see, the Local system serial number and the serial from my L2 controller don't match.

After noting this, I proceeded to install one of the brand new chips in the router brick and reboot. The brick seemed to come up alright, but I wasn't sure how to address it from the L2 controller as the rack and brick numbers were now reading as ---r--- on the display. It didn't take me long to realize that the old fuel I had sitting in the corner would once again become useful. I pulled the chip out of the R brick, installed it in the fuel motherboard, attached to the fuels L1 serial port on the motherboard, and issued and did the following:

Code: Select all


---a---L1>brick rackslot 1 27


brick rack set to 001 (takes effect on next L1 reboot/power cycle)


brick slot set to  27 (takes effect on next L1 reboot/power cycle)

This set rack and slot numbers on the chip for me, so I then reinstalled it into the R brick and powered it up again with the following results:

And there you have it...from start to finish. Now clearly one doesn't have to use a fuel to set those parameters on the chip, if you look at the data sheet, it's quite simple to read/write/and even clear it. The Fuel was just the quickest means to an end that I could think of. If I get bored maybe I'll build a little device to program these things...or perhaps someone else wants to pick up the torch and run some more?

One further item, you'll notice in the log that there's some uninitialized data in there...it's probably a good idea to load the defaults after you've performed this, just to make sure all of the settings start at something reasonable.

I've been meaning to do this for awhile, and I apologize thoroughly for not getting to it sooner.

Please use this knowledge responsibly.

Ok, so here's a simpler way to do it and all you need is a blank/new chip.

1. Power down your router brick
2. replace the chip with a new one
3. power up the router brick and connect it to your l2 controller, making sure that all of your serial numbers are already set how you need them
4. log into the l2 controller and do a config verbose and find the unit with no rack and slot id assigned like so:

Eos-001-L2>config verbose
L2 192.168.20.15: - 001 (IR 80a8140f, C 00000000) (LOCAL)
L1 192.168.20.15:2:0 - 001c07 (b1;p2/1;d4 /dev/sgil1_2)
L1 192.168.20.15:1:0 - 001c06 (b1;p1;d2 /dev/sgil1_1)
L1 192.168.20.15:4:0 - 001c03 (b1;p2/4;d6 /dev/sgil1_4)
L1 192.168.20.15:3:0 - 001c01 (b1;p2/2;d5 /dev/sgil1_3)
L1 192.168.20.15:0:0 - ---r-- (no rack and slot ID set) (b2;p2/1;d3 /dev/sgil1_0)
L2 Clients:
127.0.0.1: (IR 8aa8140f) sgi (sgi) @ localhost running 'l2part'
127.0.0.1: (IR 86a8140f) sgi (sgi) @ localhost running 'l2gui'
127.0.0.1: (IR 88a8140f) sgi (sgi) @ localhost running 'l2flash'

5. in the output to the right of the unit with no slot id you'll notice sgil1_0, the number at the end is the port number, in this case 0
6. issue the command :portnumber:0 brick rackslot 1 27 (or whatever you want it set to) and then :portnumber:0 reboot_l1 like so:

Code: Select all


Eos-001-L2>:0:0 brick rackslot 1 27


000r00:


brick rack set to 001 (takes effect on next L1 reboot/power cycle)


brick slot set to  27 (takes effect on next L1 reboot/power cycle)


Eos-001-L2>:0:0 reboot_l1


Eos-001-L2>INFO: closed connection to 000r00


INFO: opened USB device at b2;p2/1;d4 (/dev/sgil1_5)
