[00:34:55] *** simc has joined #zipit
[00:36:20] <simc> hey, does anyone know how to make bitbake not run multiple tasks at the same time?
[00:36:56] <simc> I am using a rather ram poor machine, so I might get better performance if it only did one task at a time
[01:05:50] <simc> the answer is BB_NUMBER_THREADS in build/conf/local.conf

[11:38:19] <g1powermac> GPSFan, inital cvs upload of the z2 qtopia device profile is up now: http://zipit2system.cvs.sourceforge.net/zipit2system/
[11:39:19] <g1powermac> and new shots: http://www.flickr.com/photos/77471288@N00/sets/72157604730204854/
[11:39:56] <g1powermac> meh, just realized something
[11:40:34] *** simc has quit IRC
[11:41:09] <g1powermac> realistically you need to rename the downloaded directory to 'z2' and stick it in the devices directory in the qtopia source
[11:41:47] <g1powermac> then run ./configure -device="z2"
[11:41:52] <g1powermac> in the build directory
[11:41:54] *** asantoni_ has quit IRC
[11:42:23] <g1powermac> also you need to change the environment file in that to reflect where your toolchain is
[11:42:30] <g1powermac> bah, should document this at some point
[11:43:49] <g1powermac> oops, not -device="z2", rather -device z2
[11:51:19] *** asantoni has quit IRC
[11:54:31] <g1powermac> lemme document this stuff first in the README before you check it out. . .
[12:08:44] *** Rossimo has joined #zipit
[12:47:27] <g1powermac> alright documentation is updated
[12:47:54] <g1powermac> GPSFan, you should be able to build it if you follow my doc and the general building qtopia docs found on their website
[12:51:56] <g1powermac> http://doc.trolltech.com/qtopia4.3/building-guide.html
[12:52:05] <g1powermac> that'll guide you on how to generally build qtopia
[13:19:19] *** joejaxx has joined #zipit
[13:19:29] <g1powermac> welcome :-)
[13:19:32] <joejaxx> :D
[13:19:34] <joejaxx> thanks
[14:36:09] *** T0mW has joined #zipit
[14:39:14] <GPSFan> g1powermac: hey, thanks, I've been busy all day, maybe get a chance to try it later today..
[14:40:50] *** Crofton has joined #zipit
[14:47:52] <g1powermac> GPSFan, sounds good
[14:48:31] <GPSFan> g1powermac: you might ping on T0mW about his bricked z2
[14:48:46] <g1powermac> oh, T0mW's here
[14:48:57] <g1powermac> T0mW, big ping :-)
[14:58:22] <g1powermac> GPSFan, oh, when you get a chance later today, can you get me the markings on the wifi chip?
[14:58:36] <g1powermac> since you desoldered the shield on it
[14:59:10] <GPSFan> g1powermac: soldered it back on, but it's a Marvell 8686
[15:00:36] <g1powermac> hmm, is that all the markings? been wanting to document all chip markings
[15:00:47] <g1powermac> you can see what I did with the new photos I took
[15:01:07] <g1powermac> http://www.flickr.com/photos/77471288@N00/2442304472/sizes/l/in/set-72157604730204854/
[15:02:01] <GPSFan> g1powermac: yeah I saw your pics but couldn't really read all the text (didn't try too hard) you may be able to read the markings on one of the pix in the fcc docs.
[15:02:24] <g1powermac> oh, if you hit the all sizes button, you'll get the large image
[15:02:31] <g1powermac> you'll be able to read all the markings then
[15:02:35] <GPSFan> If I open up the box I'll snap a pix of the rf section for you.
[15:02:41] <g1powermac> thanks
[15:02:54] <g1powermac> I'm working on writing some pages with all this info now
[15:04:06] <GPSFan> ah, thanks but you are missing one of the important #s for the cpu that's the C312 which is the speed spec.
[15:04:54] <GPSFan> cul, gotta run... ;>)
[15:04:54] <g1powermac> bah, figures, oh well
[15:05:02] <g1powermac> k, cya

[20:43:05] <g1powermac_APW> heya GPSFan
[20:45:30] <GPSFan> g1powermac_APW: hey..
[20:46:57] <g1powermac_APW> brb, need to reboot this sucker
[20:47:07] *** g1powermac_APW has quit IRC
[20:57:00] *** g1powermac_APW has joined #zipit
[20:58:02] <g1powermac_APW> GPSFan: this here is my old dev machine that I haven't used in prolly a year
[20:58:18] <GPSFan> seems to work.
[20:58:49] <g1powermac_APW> yea, after about 32 updates, at least for the windows side, haven't booted to linux yet on it
[20:59:03] <GPSFan> ewww windoze
[20:59:37] <g1powermac_APW> yea, I don't like it either, but some stuff I need windows for, especially for some of the dev work I was doing
[21:00:55] <GPSFan> well, I haven't been actually windoze free either, there are some programs that I can't do without so I usually run them under wine or vmware.
[21:02:00] <GPSFan> but mostly i do linux, and the wife does MacOS X
[21:02:04] <g1powermac_APW> yea, I found wine just wasn't working for me for some apps
[21:02:16] * g1powermac_APW does all three
[21:02:43] <GPSFan> yeah, wine leaves a lot to be desired, but for some stuff it's great
[21:02:44] <g1powermac_APW> main working machines are macs, then linux and windows for some dev work
[21:03:39] <GPSFan> I sort of figured you had some MacOS contamination from your nick. I have a iMac G3 as on my desk too.
[21:04:08] <g1powermac_APW> hehe, MacOS contamination, I like that
[21:04:48] <g1powermac_APW> actually my nick goes pretty far back, back when I had a powermac 6100 when I was trying to install linux on it
[21:05:15] <g1powermac_APW> which btw, is really tough, especially for someone's first linux install
[21:06:39] <GPSFan> my wife had/has a MacII Ci, an 8500, and a powerbook 100. (all in the "hardware archives) I'm probably not going to get to doing anything on qtopia tonight, lots of stuff to do while it's still light out, and I'm beat as well.
[21:06:56] <g1powermac_APW> man, I got so much equipment to resetup: scope, logic analyzer, soldering stuff, chip programmer, dmm
[21:07:19] <g1powermac_APW> ahh, the 8500 is a nice machine
[21:07:31] <g1powermac_APW> I got an 8600 sitting here
[21:07:39] <g1powermac_APW> I got wayyyy too many machines
[21:08:14] <GPSFan> I thought about trying to get linux up on it, but couldn't figure out how to boot it from cd. the usual methods didn't work.
[21:08:40] <GPSFan> gotta run off for a while. I may be back later, maybe not...
[21:08:42] <g1powermac_APW> its a bit interesting to get linux on old world macs
[21:08:46] <g1powermac_APW> k, cya
