[04:04:50] *** Magon has joined #zipit
[04:42:41] *** Magon_ has joined #zipit
[04:42:42] *** Magon has quit IRC
[05:28:56] <Magon_> i found a problem in current OE svn...it uses eabi and i think that zipit is oabi
[06:39:04] *** Magon_ has quit IRC
[08:28:54] *** Magon has joined #zipit
[09:39:31] *** GPSFan has joined #zipit
[10:49:41] *** Magon_ has joined #zipit
[10:49:41] *** Magon has quit IRC
[11:09:18] <Magon_> i have tweaked the OE overlay a bit and it builds runable binaries
[11:17:33] *** Magon_ is now known as magon
[11:48:03] <nhoman> Magon: are you going to commit?
[11:54:42] <nhoman> Magon: is it based on angstrom?
[11:54:58] <nhoman> im waiting on a base-image too... its been building ages...
[12:02:53] <magon> nhoman: i have to find a way how to commit it..i had to change angstrom a bit
[12:04:20] <nhoman> Magon: ok. mine built. (but it's not angstrom based)
[12:04:34] <magon> i have angstrom based something but it is still not done
[12:04:47] <magon> i had to convince angstrom that i want arm oabi
[12:09:05] <nhoman> how?
[12:09:12] <nhoman> (did you do that?)
[12:11:43] <magon> yes..in one include i added ? before = and added TARGET_OS in local.conf
[13:04:39] <magon> nhoman: staging
[13:04:48] <nhoman> cool!
[13:14:44] *** mi_dave has joined #zipit
[13:21:08] <mi_dave> anyone willing to answer a Z2 hardware question?
[13:23:37] <magon> mi_dave: what problem you have?
[13:23:50] <magon> nhoman: it failed at rootfs building...i have to go for 30 minutes away than i will settle that down
[13:32:16] <mi_dave> just got a z2 after waiting a week for it. i thought i would try the built in stuff first before messing around too much
[13:32:20] <nhoman> mi_dave: just ask... if someone around can answer - they will. Otherwise post on the forum at linux.zipitwireless.com.
[13:32:49] <mi_dave> powered up, did updates, but after each power cycle it wanted to do updates again. last thing it updated was the bootloader and now it appears dead
[13:33:26] <Rossimo> did you shut it off while it was updating?
[13:33:34] <mi_dave> kb backlight is always on and now a solid white screen. tried reset, unplug charger, unplug battery, nothing.
[13:33:48] <mi_dave> i left it alone for 5 minutes while it was updating so i didn't shut it off but i didn't see what it said either
[13:34:02] <Rossimo> it's normal for the Z2 to do several updates in a row
[13:34:04] <nhoman> maybe it lost battery during update..
[13:34:08] <mi_dave> when i came back to it it was in the state with the kb backlight on and a black screen and no response
[13:34:20] <Rossimo> but why it's unresponsive, i'm not sure. that might be a question for drmikecrowe
[13:34:43] <mi_dave> maybe it was doing the flash update but i expected something on screen if it was i guess
[13:34:55] <Rossimo> there should be something on the screen in my experience
[13:39:58] <mi_dave> there was for all the previous updates
[13:40:41] <Rossimo> does it hang at the Z2 logo screen?
[13:41:21] <mi_dave> doesn't even get that far. if i do the paper clip reset, the kb backlight goes out but comes back on as soon as i release reset
[13:41:27] <Rossimo> oh, white screen. hmm, you may be able to try and see if it runs any software at the forge site.
[13:41:38] <Rossimo> the reset buttons usually just turns it off for me, i don't think it's suppose to do a full reset.
[13:43:16] <mi_dave> my guess is the bootloader update failed on its own or because of something i did. i was hoping for some recovery option for when the primary flash is corrupt.
[14:02:54] <magon> i hope my update wont fail
[14:03:01] <magon> doing system update
[14:03:44] <Rossimo> no update for me today
[14:04:10] <magon> i updated just now
[14:04:14] <magon> but seems going smoothly
[14:04:39] <magon> seem working all just fine
[14:10:32] <mi_dave> this was a new out of the box z2 so it was updating a who knows how old of an image
[14:12:43] <magon> ok..it wants to install task-base-usbhost...i really dont want one
[14:14:04] <magon> ok..solved..will see if it works
[14:21:44] <nhoman> magon: do.rootfs was failing?
[14:22:05] <magon> nhoman: yes and still is
[14:22:10] <magon> but problem was a bit different
[14:23:17] <magon> task-boot is failing because i cannot satisfy its dependences...but dont see which one
[14:24:12] <magon> have a problem...cannot satisfy libgcc
[14:44:40] <magon> nhoman: do you know how to generate Package file for directory of *.ipk files?
[14:50:31] <nhoman> magon: how to create the ipk files?
[14:50:42] <magon> make index is right command
[14:50:48] <magon> o have ipk but no index
[14:51:12] <nhoman> you need to extract them?
[14:51:19] <nhoman> (sorry mag not sure what you mean)
[14:51:43] <nhoman> ipkg-utils to extract
[14:52:09] <nhoman> understand you now
[15:00:57] *** magon has quit IRC
[15:01:02] *** Magon has joined #zipit
[15:10:58] <Magon> nhoman: are you familiar with ipkg?
[15:11:26] <nhoman> Magon: no only to use them on nslu2 and the bit of time i spent on them the last few days
[15:11:26] <Magon> nhoman: going to kill ipkg
[15:11:29] <nhoman> :-)
[15:11:33] <nhoman> what's up?
[15:11:40] <Magon> it ignores its own conf file
[15:11:46] <nhoman> what package?
[15:11:56] <Magon> i was playing with ipkg.conf
[15:12:16] <nhoman> you could try asking in #oe
[15:12:24] <Magon> i now know how it works
[15:12:30] <Magon> but now i need to convince bitbake to keep my setting
[15:12:46] <Magon> btw can you please tell me if you have some ipkg files in tmp*/deploy/glibc/ipkg ?
[15:12:53] <nhoman> yeah lots
[15:12:53] <Magon> or similar path
[15:12:57] <Magon> craps..i have no
[15:13:15] <Magon> i did probably one thing wrong :-(
[15:13:25] <Magon> do you have time to build angstrom from scratch if i give you right conf files?
[15:13:39] <nhoman> absolutely... i have built angstrom but not with the base-image
[15:13:53] <nhoman> I have built with minimal image - but the root fails on the zipit
[15:13:55] <Magon> what you have used?
[15:13:57] <Magon> ok
[15:14:00] <Magon> minimal will be ok
[15:14:13] <Magon> give me few more minutes i will try mine and do something about your configs
[15:14:16] <nhoman> ok
[15:20:59] <Magon> can you paste me tmp*/staging/i686-linux/etc/ipkg.conf
[15:21:02] <Magon> i have problem in this one
[15:21:29] <Magon> i have it all builded..and should be oabi problem is just i did one configuration wrong and it all went to wrong dir
[15:21:54] <nhoman> just a min
[15:22:25] <nhoman> http://zipit.pastebin.com/m44275c52
[15:22:30] <nhoman> that what you are looking for?
[15:22:51] <Magon> src oe-armv5te file:/home/neil/stuff/openembedded/tmp-zipit2-angstrom/deploy/glibc/ipk/armv5te
[15:22:52] <Magon> arch zipit2 41 this line
[15:23:13] <Magon> and you really have deploy/glibc/ipk/ full of *.ipkg ?
[15:23:23] <Magon> not just deploy/glibc/ipk/armv5te/ ?
[15:23:57] <nhoman> magon: JUST in arm5te... to be clear... i hope i havent wasted your time
[15:24:23] <Magon> nhoman: ok that is exactly fine
[15:24:27] <nhoman> and several other subdirs of ../ipk/
[15:24:38] <Magon> yes
[15:24:41] <Magon> but nothing in ipk/ root
[15:24:44] <Magon> just empty Packages file
[15:24:44] <nhoman> nope
[15:25:00] <nhoman> and empty package files
[15:40:09] <Magon> i probably found sollution and how to do what i need clean way
[15:41:01] *** mi_dave has quit IRC
[15:41:08] <nhoman> great... watching your chat over at #oe ... your english is improving! (it's faultless)
[15:54:28] <Magon> i hope my english is getting better...i need it
[15:54:46] <Magon> but this is just simple conversation...more complex ones are a lot worse
[15:54:56] <Magon> btw when you come over any my mistake just tell me
[15:55:00] <nhoman> will do
[16:00:21] <Magon> i am now trying to get my rootfs done
[16:00:29] <Magon> than i need to tweak OE a bit in order to make it fully working
[16:00:50] <nhoman> I should point out that you should have said "if you find i make a mistake"... :-)
[16:00:59] <nhoman> i am building the base-image again...
[16:01:06] <Magon> try just the mininal one
[16:01:15] <nhoman> really?? that builds for me
[16:01:19] <nhoman> just fails when at the zipit
[16:01:21] <Magon> nhoman: that yours construction is wierd for me...i dont know why but i dont like it
[16:01:22] <nhoman> may be eabi problem
[16:01:26] <Magon> it is definetly eabi problem
[16:01:28] <nhoman> k
[16:01:33] <Magon> i was playing with eabi and oabi most of today
[16:02:05] <Magon> ok..i shall provide you my setting probably
[16:11:56] <Magon> last try..i found do_rootfs procedure than i will instruct you how to build oabi binaries
[16:12:17] <Magon> it seems like i missed more than one think
[16:31:26] <Magon> nhoman: are you here?
[16:31:45] <nhoman> On mobile. But yeah:)
[16:31:50] <Magon> on mobile?
[16:31:55] <nhoman> Phone. Yes
[16:31:59] <Magon> my local.conf http://zipit.pastebin.com/m3730bb42
[16:32:25] <nhoman> Thanks.
[16:32:31] <Magon> my machine http://zipit.pastebin.com/m2128cfdc
[16:32:35] <Magon> but that is not all
[16:33:29] <Magon> i need to track my changes in OE
[16:34:38] <Magon> in conf/distro/angstrom-2008.1.conf is line ARM_ABI ?= "${@['','oabi'][bb.data.getVar('MACHINE',d) in ['collie','h3600', 'h3800', 'simpad', 'htcwallaby']]}"
[16:34:40] <Magon> add zipit2 to the list
[16:34:58] <Magon> and in conf/distro/include/angstrom-glibc.inc add in the same list the same
[16:43:30] <Magon> crap..you need to add TARGET_OS = "linux" to local.conf
[16:43:48] <nhoman> ok... trying that now
[16:44:07] <Magon> it at least build busybox correctly
[16:44:11] <Magon> but i am not shure what went wrong with my glibc
[16:44:14] <Magon> i dont have one :-(
[16:50:36] <Magon> nhoman: it have to say linux at the begining of any bitbake command...there is short list of general settings
[17:10:39] <nhoman> glibc-intermediate fails for me too..
