Crofton: it looks like all the ipk files that were generated are oabi format, for example:wpa-supplicant_0.4.9-r0_arm-oabi.ipk |
| [08:04:08] |
<T0mW> |
and they got stored into: tmp-ZipitZ2/deploy/glibc/ipk/arm-oabi/ |
| [08:04:11] |
<Crofton> |
ok |
| [08:04:13] |
<T0mW> |
So, it looks like that worked ok |
| [08:04:26] |
<T0mW> |
Now, I am thinking that the /sbin/init has failed and I cannot see the message it generated. |
| [08:04:56] |
<T0mW> |
it is prolly something stupid like fstab is borked, or dev is empty |

hmm |
| [08:12:33] |
<Crofton> |
you badly need a console ... |
| [08:12:45] |
<T0mW> |
agreed, I think I need to flash a new kernel |
| [08:12:51] |
<Crofton> |
you can't get it to read a kernel from usd |
| [08:12:54] |
<T0mW> |
usd ? |
| [08:13:16] |
<T0mW> |
You know what I've been wondering, why I cannot build a kernel that can be loaded + executed as if it were an app? |
| [08:13:29] |
<T0mW> |
You would need some startup code to turn off the MMU, then setup the ATAG list, then jump to it? |
| [08:13:36] |
<T0mW> |
A user-space kernel boot |
| [08:13:46] |
<T0mW> |
probably turn off the mmu and find that the memory is non-contiguous |
| [08:14:37] |
<drmikecrowe> |
Would kexec support help? |
| [08:19:59] |
<T0mW> |
I dunno, I have built angstrom, but it won't start |
| [08:20:26] |
<T0mW> |
I can't even get an indication that the kernel is up and hasn't panic'ed |
| [08:20:34] |
<drmikecrowe> |
from talking to magon, if I could get a kernel supporting kexec, we can get a custom kernel on the sd and boot from it. However, I have never gone down this path |
| [08:20:37] |
<T0mW> |
drmikecrowe: I think the problem with with 'console=/dev/ttyS0' |
| [08:20:38] |
<T0mW> |
drmikecrowe: I think the problem with with 'console=/dev/ttyS2 |
| [08:20:58] |
<drmikecrowe> |
could be. ethicalclone built the new fbcon drivers against the old kernel. I bet you will need to regenerate and load those modules, right? |
| [08:21:02] |
<T0mW> |
drmikecrowe: I've tried to mess with the z2script.sh to get a console device that will printout the boot messages (e.g. echo) |
| [08:21:12] |
<T0mW> |
I'll try that |
| [08:21:18] |
<T0mW> |
just building angstrom has been "interesting" |
| [08:22:18] |
<T0mW> |
I'll build using console=tty0 and see what happens |
| [08:22:59] |
<T0mW> |
drmikecrowe: I think that the issue revolves around the cmdline of the kernel. The kernel that is in the Zipit has a hardcoded console=/dev/ttyS2 and rebuilding the frame buffer isn't going to do anything. |
| [08:23:11] |
<T0mW> |
not sure |
| [08:23:15] |
<T0mW> |
AH! |
| [08:23:16] |
<drmikecrowe> |
ah, that I don't know. I'm still trying to get my arms around this (in my spare time) |
| [08:23:16] |
<T0mW> |
I wonder |
| [08:23:44] |
<T0mW> |
I may be able to change the ATAG list in the blob by reprogramming mtdblock0 |
| [08:23:56] |
<T0mW> |
The ATAG list is where the default console can be overridden |

<Magon> |
T0mW: hi may I ask a little favor? |
| [09:14:15] |
<Magon> |
T0mW: your OE configs builds kernel probably exactly like the one on board, am i right? |
| [09:14:42] |
<T0mW> |
yes, it should |
| [09:14:49] |
<Magon> |
ok..can you change it to include kexec support? |
| [09:14:52] |
<T0mW> |
Magon: you can build modules then plub them in |
| [09:14:56] |
<Magon> |
kexec is not possible as module |
| [09:19:29] |
<T0mW> |
Magon: does the kexec kernel have to be put into Flash? |
| [09:19:39] |
<Magon> |
T0mW: yes it does |
| [09:19:39] |
<T0mW> |
:( |
| [09:19:46] |
<Magon> |
i have spoken with mike |
| [09:19:56] |
<T0mW> |
Magon: we have been looking at the mtd stuff to reprogram the flash |
| [09:19:58] |
<T0mW> |
http://rafb.net/p/YGzQ1576.html |
| [09:20:37] |
<Magon> |
if we provide him kernel(binary) that have kexec i should work(so exactly their kernel with this option enabled) he will test it and probably try to provide an update |
| [09:20:50] |
<Magon> |
reprograming flash is probably easy..just a bit risky |
| [09:20:51] |
<T0mW> |
when I copied the mtd[0..2] images onto the SD card and looked at them later, they do look correct. mtd0 does have blob in it. |
| [09:20:57] |
<Magon> |
i have seen that earlier |
| [09:21:06] |
<T0mW> |
Magon: I can always use another BRICK, don't you? |
| [09:21:10] |
<Magon> |
i know..have seen that |
| [09:21:13] |
<T0mW> |
heh |
| [09:21:21] |
<Magon> |
T0mW: problem is i cannot get second Z2 easy way |
| [09:21:21] |
<T0mW> |
Magon: I've never done the mtd stuff before |
| [09:21:24] |
<T0mW> |
Magon: I have three here |
| [09:21:25] |
<Magon> |
i have been playing with mtd on T3 |
| [09:21:34] |
<Magon> |
T0mW: can you please compile the kernel with kexec and upload it somewhere so mike can test it and include that in update? |
| [09:21:59] |
<Magon> |
having kexec will be "good enough" for now |
| [09:22:09] |
<T0mW> |
ok |
| [09:22:10] |
<Magon> |
i will probably try to look at blob if it can be made slimmer..but that will take long time |
| [09:22:20] |
<Magon> |
i dont trust my OE so i cannot build it myself |
| [09:22:26] |
<Magon> |
and i got a spare card...just 1GB as that should have less problems |
| [09:22:33] |
<T0mW> |
Magon: my OE is busy now rebuilding the image that does work for us. |
| [09:22:42] |
<T0mW> |
Magon: once that is done, I will build the kexec kernel |
| [09:22:44] |
<Magon> |
T0mW: that is not a problem..just when you have time...i have to go |
| [09:22:48] |
<T0mW> |
Magon: to work? |
| [09:22:53] |
<Magon> |
and probably upload kexec to defconfig |
| [09:22:56] |
<Magon> |
T0mW: no..i just returned from work :-) |

slowly right now. I've built against the angstrom-2008.1 distro but it won't boot |
| [10:02:41] |
<GPSFan> |
we just had a white out here, blizzard I can't see more than 100' away, 25+mph winds snow comming down sideways. |
| [10:02:51] |
<T0mW> |
oooo! I remember days like that, not in recent memory though |
| [10:03:16] |
<T0mW> |
three foot of snow on the ground and still snowing like mad. You know, we have had almost no snow this year? A lot of rain. |
| [10:03:19] |
<T0mW> |
if all that rain was snow... |
| [10:03:22] |
<GPSFan> |
got 1/2 inch of rain last night |
| [10:03:24] |
<T0mW> |
ouch |
| [10:03:25] |
<T0mW> |
ice |
| [10:03:33] |

oh |

how many head do you have to feed? |

I didn't played much with OE yesterday, but I did get a buildroot rootfs working on the Z2, a few problems, but it builds. |
| [10:04:18] |
<GPSFan> |
we have about 150 sheep, 9 horses 4 dogs, 2 cats....... 14 chickens 3 geese. |
| [10:04:24] |
<T0mW> |
GPSFan: yeah, I'm working at getting Angstrom put together. It seems that OE people are focusing almost exclusively on that distro. |
| [10:04:28] |
<T0mW> |
GPSFan: only two cats? |
| [10:04:39] |
<T0mW> |
GPSFan: that sounds like they are both female |
| [10:04:47] |
<GPSFan> |
OE seems like it's aming more towards the desktop-like GUI orientated system than the small memory starved embedded system. |
| [10:05:03] |
<T0mW> |
yes, it does seem that way, not sure why they are re-inventing the desktop PC |
| [10:05:04] |
<GPSFan> |
one inside cat, one outside, one female one male, both neutered |
| [10:10:11] |
<T0mW> |
there is work on the xscale hh devices though |
| [10:10:43] |
<GPSFan> |
it seems like OE people tend to say "Oh and I can build perl and python for my zipit, lets put all those along with full X11 and a naitve toolchain on it. |
| [10:11:04] |
<GPSFan> |
my view of embedded is a small very power efficient (as in low too) system. by neccessity that meens "just enough resources" |
| [10:11:05] |
<Crofton> |
biuld the proper image |
| [10:11:13] |
<Crofton> |
bitbake minimal-image |
| [10:11:19] |
<GPSFan> |
Crofton: that's what I'd like to do, but am still way down the OE learning curve, hopefully it will come in time. |
| [10:11:21] |
<Crofton> |
embedded means different things to different people |
| [10:11:22] |
<GPSFan> |
indeed. |
| [10:11:25] |
<Crofton> |
bitbake minimal-image should build an image :) |
| [10:11:29] |
<Crofton> |
even the definition of minimal image is tricky |
| [10:11:31] |

either of you guys have experience with raid-5 arrays? |
| [10:14:53] |

T0mW: no, but with my OE build taking up 6+Gbytes I need to look at a new hdd/nas/raid array. ;>) |
| [10:22:40] |
<T0mW> |
I've got that new AMD X2 6400+ board coming tomorrow to relace this 4800+ board. |

ooooww |

big drives are cheap :) |
| [10:23:19] |
<T0mW> |
I have to figure out how to determine how to plug the SATA drives back into what socket |
| [10:23:40] |
<T0mW> |
yeah, I've 5 320G drives in that array (4+1 spare) |
| [10:24:03] |
<GPSFan> |
that's the problem, you get a big cheap drive, put lots of good/valuable stuff on it, then you need a bigger backup system... neverending spiral.. |
| [10:24:44] |
<T0mW> |
I put one of these in an Antec P180 case: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16817332011 |

<Rossimo> |
right now everyone in here's working on getting OE ported to Z2, which will open up a ton of software |
| [11:26:49] |
<T0mW> |
SB-Zipit: stockquote goog |
| [11:26:49] |
<SB-Zipit> |
T0mW: Error: "stockquote" is not a valid command. |
| [11:26:51] |
<drmikecrowe> |
hmmm, I was wondering if this was working... |
| [11:26:54] |
<orionr> |
Rossimo: sorry i miss read, i am shell environment. |
| [11:27:06] |
* |
orionr meant |
| [11:27:16] |
<Rossimo> |
basically, if you want to get things working right now, you'll have to add a couple apps to get a shell running to your SD card, and then run any of the apps on the frontpage |
| [11:27:52] |
<orionr> |
Rossimo: OE = openembedded ? |
| [11:27:52] |
<T0mW> |
orionr: yes |
| [11:27:56] |
<Rossimo> |
yeah |
| [11:27:58] |
<T0mW> |
orionr: we are just working at getting a filesystem built up |
| [11:28:04] |
<orionr> |
interesting |
| [11:28:11] |
<Rossimo> |
personally, i've just been coding with scratchbox, getting a couple quick ports running. |
| [11:28:16] |
<Rossimo> |
hopefully by the next CLUG meeting, we'll have some OE stuff to show off |
| [11:28:20] |
<T0mW> |
Rossimo: when is that meeting? |
| [11:28:21] |
<Rossimo> |
one sec... |
| [11:28:28] |
<Rossimo> |
Feb 12th |
| [11:28:30] |
<T0mW> |
ah |
| [11:28:35] |
<Rossimo> |
we've got one tommorrow night, Zipit's visiting to talk about the Z2 |
| [11:28:39] |
<T0mW> |
I leave for a week vacation Feb 27, I plan to be in Leesburg, FL on March 1st. |
| [11:28:44] |
<orionr> |
Rossimo: are you written C code in Scratchbox? |
| [11:28:55] |
<Rossimo> |
i'll be giving a presentation at the meeting after the Zipit on more portable linux devices, and my experience with coding for them |
| [11:28:58] |
<Rossimo> |
orionr: yeah |
| [11:29:42] |
<orionr> |
Rossimo: is there a way to run a virtual machine of the Z2 so you dont have to transfer the code back and forth to the zipit to test it? |
| [11:29:47] |
<Rossimo> |
if you could, it would probably be really slow |
| [11:29:48] |
<Rossimo> |
but that's not the idea |
| [11:37:07] |
<T0mW> |
ah! oe finally finished |
| [11:37:11] |
<Rossimo> |
wewt |
| [11:37:53] |
<T0mW> |
orionr: virtual machines are good for classroom work but are not much good in the real world. |
| [11:38:02] |
<Rossimo> |
orionr: if you'd like, i'll help you get scratchbox set up for now at the meeting. the installation isn't difficult. there's even an Ubuntu repo for it |
| [11:38:06] |
<orionr> |
T0mW: i was just figuring that would be more convenient |
| [11:38:17] |
<T0mW> |
sadly, no |
| [11:38:27] |
<orionr> |
Rossimo: yea i really want to start programming something for real. Ive been playing around with writing programs on my wrt with OpenWRT. |
| [11:38:30] |
<Rossimo> |
awesome |
| [11:39:53] |
<Rossimo> |
hmm, what would be nice is sftp for the Z2 |
| [11:39:57] |
<Rossimo> |
i tried getting it to work with dropbear earlier, but it wasn't working for me |
| [11:44:55] |
<Rossimo> |
i've got lots of indents around the SD card slot from pulling that card in and out |
| [11:44:56] |
<orionr> |
Rossimo: what commands does the terminal package somewith? |
| [11:45:27] |
<Rossimo> |
well, i think it's a normal SH shell (lot like bash) |
| [11:45:34] |
<Rossimo> |
let me check and see what else comes with it |
| [11:45:43] |
<orionr> |
I know that openwrt have a dropbear package. |
| [11:45:54] |
<Rossimo> |
ethicaclone |
| [11:46:00] |
<Rossimo> |
ethicaclone's packaged in SCP and netcat with it |
| [11:46:04] |
<Rossimo> |
getting vi or nano running with it is probably just a quick recompile |
| [11:46:55] |
<orionr> |
Rossimo: can i see some code that you are working on to see how advance it is? |
| [11:47:05] |
<T0mW> |
GPSFan,nhoman I am about to royally break things in svn |
| [11:47:05] |
<Rossimo> |
um, i haven't done much coding, but really just ports. i'll get you links for the more interesting stuff |
| [11:47:10] |
<Rossimo> |
T0mW: sounds productive |
| [11:47:12] |
<T0mW> |
yeah :( |
| [11:47:18] |
<nhoman> |
cool... i'll be checking it out (although i am in work - but will build it at home) |
| [11:47:20] |
<T0mW> |
I need to re-organize the build dir so it works for me, and some other dir naming |
| [11:47:23] |
<T0mW> |
nhoman: just wanted to warn you |
| [11:47:37] |
<Rossimo> |
orionr: if your into device driver writing, the z2 keyboard driver is at http://linux.zipitwireless.com/browser/openembedded/zipitZ2BBfiles/linux/linux-zipit2/zipit2-keyboard.patch |
| [11:47:48] |
<Rossimo> |
there's a quick SDL example at http://linux.zipitwireless.com/wiki/SDL_Example |
| [11:48:48] |
<Rossimo> |
orionr; you can browse through all the real work at http://linux.zipitwireless.com/browser/openembedded/zipitZ2BBfiles |
| [11:49:08] |
<orionr> |
thanks, cool |
| [11:49:48] |
<orionr> |
what is the file extension .bb ? |
| [11:49:53] |
<nhoman> |
T0mW: did you try the legacy angstrom? |
| [11:49:59] |
<Rossimo> |
orionr: bitbake, i think it's like a Makefile for OE. not too sure. i have yet to start any work with OE |
| [11:59:13] |
<nhoman> |
T0mW: I know it's for 2.4 kernels but wondering if you had success with it? |
| [11:59:24] |
<T0mW> |
nhoman: that is why I was going to break things, I have two distros of Zipit OE that I'm trying to juggle between. |

| [15:44:23] |
<Magon> |

i've got some ideas for organizing the frontpage, if anyone would like to see them |
