<Magon> |
T0mW: hi, are you around? |
| [08:54:53] |
<T0mW> |
heh |
| [08:54:54] |
<T0mW> |
almost |
| [08:55:00] |
<T0mW> |
I have one more cup of coffee to go first |
| [08:56:33] |
<Magon> |
T0mW: ok..i just need to ask if OE configs in svn works or not |
| [08:56:38] |
<Magon> |
i need to rebuild OE, but i would need to know if it works first |
| [08:56:40] |
<T0mW> |
it should |
| [08:56:46] |
<T0mW> |
I'm doing a rebuild now of the opie stuff. |
| [08:56:48] |
<Magon> |
T0mW: it seems like you are the only one who know what to do and have enougth horsepower to build it just for test |
| [08:56:49] |
<T0mW> |
I am "rewinding" |
| [08:56:52] |
<Magon> |
i would like GPE |
| [08:56:53] |
<Magon> |
but ok |
| [08:57:04] |
<T0mW> |
I would too. But, I need to get back to "what was good" before I try the gpe. I've given up on Angstrom, again. |
| [08:57:13] |
<Magon> |
it will build amgstrong instead of your old dist ? |
| [08:57:14] |
<T0mW> |
Magon: I put together another computer just for OE builds, another monster-box. |
| [08:57:20] |
<Magon> |
T0mW: ok..you have more horsepower that expected :-) |
| [08:57:23] |
<T0mW> |
no, screw angstrom. I cannot get a bootable kernel / filesystem from that distro. |
| [08:57:24] |
<Magon> |
i shoul build a build machine also |
| [08:57:31] |
<T0mW> |
Magon: AMD X2 6400+ with 8Gig of RAM |
| [08:57:43] |
<T0mW> |
Magon: plus 7 sata drives with a raid0 partition for the OE builds. |
| [08:58:01] |
<T0mW> |
still takes about an hour to build the simple bootstrap-image though. I did build an Angstrom gpe-image successfully, that took 2.5 hours. |
| [08:58:23] |
<T0mW> |
still cannot figure out why the stupid thing won't boot! |
| [08:58:39] |
<T0mW> |
I am going to build the opie-image, then work at getting the kernel startup messages to appear on the console. That will involve replacing the kernel in Flash. |

GPSFan: no snow here, yet |
| [09:07:24] |
<GPSFan> |
T0mW: ah, we had our snow several days ago, and a bit last night clear now though. |

<drmikecrowe> |
Anybody know if the keyboard driver that he used uses the PXA hardware keyboard interface? I wasn't sure... |

drmikecrowe: The keyboard driver is using the pxa keyboard controller |

<drmikecrowe> |
ethicalclone: perfect, thanks. |

drmikecrowe: well, bricked one zipit |
| [17:31:44] |
<drmikecrowe> |
eh? upgrading the kernel? |
| [17:31:52] |
<T0mW> |
yeh, "dd if=/boot/zImage of=/dev/mtdblock2" |
| [17:31:54] |
<T0mW> |
er |
| [17:31:55] |
<T0mW> |
yeh, "dd if=/boot/zImage of=/dev/mtdblock1" |
| [17:32:13] |
<drmikecrowe> |
ugh. |
| [17:32:19] |
<T0mW> |
drmikecrowe: are the serial port pins accessible on the mainboard via some pullups? |
| [17:32:33] |
<T0mW> |
I can probably recover if I can get access to blob |
| [17:32:37] |
<drmikecrowe> |
I don't think so. I think they made special boards with it. |
| [17:32:41] |
<T0mW> |
hmm |
| [17:33:03] |
<roxfan2> |
you can try tracing cpu pins |
| [17:33:55] |
<T0mW> |
roxfan2: don't worry, that one goes to you. heh |
| [17:34:03] |
<T0mW> |
roxfan2: that is your victum, I will be shipping those out. |
| [17:34:12] |
<T0mW> |
roxfan2: one dead, one working |
| [17:34:16] |
<roxfan2> |
i see |
| [17:34:31] |
<T0mW> |
roxfan2: not that I planned to send you a dead one... |
| [17:34:44] |

<T0mW> |
drmikecrowe: did that tarball work for you? |
| [17:40:44] |
<drmikecrowe> |
sorta -- it was still configured for 640x480. To, I tweaked and am rebuilding now |
| [17:41:09] |
<T0mW> |
really? I thought that I had done the 320X240 stuff, oh, maybe not. that was with the opie build I did that. |
| [17:41:17] |
<drmikecrowe> |
could be. Not a big deal. |
| [17:41:23] |
<drmikecrowe> |
I just want to get a system up, so I can start experimenting with some apps |
| [17:41:27] |
<T0mW> |
drmikecrowe: that is the hx4700 machine conf that I first built, then edited to match the Z2. They both are pxa CPUs |
| [17:41:28] |
<drmikecrowe> |
(I'm not as interested with the kernel side) |
| [17:41:36] |
<drmikecrowe> |
exactly. It was basically that 4700 |
| [17:41:40] |
<T0mW> |
drmikecrowe: neither am I, I just needed to get something other than opie running. |
| [17:41:53] |
<drmikecrowe> |
T0mW: Right. I want to tinker with lua and maybe fltk |
| [17:41:55] |
<T0mW> |
nod |
| [17:42:03] |
<T0mW> |
PITA that you cannot see the kernel boot messages though |
| [17:42:10] |
<T0mW> |
makes sense for a consumer product |
| [17:44:17] |
<drmikecrowe> |
hey T0mW, the default looks like it builds strictly for .ipk. If I want to edit ethicalclone's startup system and then just run my programs, should I dump the stuff from staging onto the disk? |
| [17:44:23] |
<drmikecrowe> |
or rather, where is an alternate to the .ipk output? |
| [17:54:14] |
<T0mW> |
drmikecrowe: well, it packages into ipk format as well as builds the tarball. There is a tmp/rootfs tree as well, that is populated from the ipkgs and then is tar'red into the tarball in tmp/deploy/*/images |
| [17:54:23] |
<drmikecrowe> |
beautiful. base image just built. I'll have to experiment now |
| [17:54:27] |
<drmikecrowe> |
Gotta run to dinner. Back later... |
| [17:54:38] |
<T0mW> |
drmikecrowe: ipkgs are all built according to recipes, then the packages are loaded into tmp/rootfs, the rootfs is then put into the desired final format (e.g. jffs2, ext2, tar...) |
| [17:54:52] |
<drmikecrowe> |
Understood, T0mW. I need to reformat a sd-card to ext2 so it can handle sym-links. |
| [17:55:00] |
<T0mW> |
prepSDcard.pl |
| [17:55:01] |
<drmikecrowe> |
I think ethicalclone managed to get this working -- need to check |
| [18:00:18] |

T0mW points up |
| [18:00:20] |
<drmikecrowe> |
very cool, I missed that |
| [18:00:20] |
<drmikecrowe> |
thanks |
| [18:00:24] |
<T0mW> |
that does it all, login as root to run it |
| [18:00:28] |
<T0mW> |
edit the DEVICE in the script |
| [18:00:30] |
<drmikecrowe> |
will do. |
| [18:00:34] |
<drmikecrowe> |
I'll catch up with you later tonight |
| [18:00:35] |
<T0mW> |
all else fails, RTFM (readme) |
