<T0mW> |
GPSFan: did you ever get OE running on the Zipit? |
| [08:28:20] |
<GPSFan> |
T0mW: no, I gave up again after the build broke yet again. |
| [08:28:44] |
<GPSFan> |
I've been working on blob and some other low level stuff. |
| [08:28:49] |
<T0mW> |
you used the directions on the zipit website, correct? |
| [08:29:35] |
<GPSFan> |
this was after you helmed me to get it building that once. I tried to change something (it's been a while) and the build just broke. |
| [08:29:40] |
<T0mW> |
I've found that if you use the 'stable' branch of OE instead of 'dev', then use angstrom-2007 as the distro, things will build ok. |
| [08:30:02] |
<T0mW> |
the dev branch is usually broken |
| [08:30:34] |
<GPSFan> |
I'm also put off by the 6+ hour build time. |
| [08:30:48] |

<T0mW> |
and, angstrom-2008 is bleeding edge |
| [08:31:04] |
<T0mW> |
GPSFan: oh? It only takes me an hour or less |
| [08:31:16] |
<T0mW> |
Q6600 + 8Gig of RAM |
| [08:31:18] |
<T0mW> |
;) |
| [08:31:22] |
<GPSFan> |
yeah, on your spiffy new 8 core box. |
| [08:32:21] |
<T0mW> |
I wish I had 8 cores, the intel cpu blasts through the code. The AMD X2 6400 I purchased was such a dog that I pulled the board and replaced it with the intel quad |
| [08:32:45] |
<GPSFan> |
'scuse me... 4 cores... |
| [08:32:49] |
<T0mW> |
I got gpe running. I just cannot get past the gui login screen. |
| [08:33:08] |
<T0mW> |
I was thinking of giving opie a try |
| [08:33:16] |
<GPSFan> |
does the keyboard work, what did you use for a mouse? |
| [08:33:26] |
<T0mW> |
no mouse, just the tab key |
| [08:33:40] |
<T0mW> |
the zipit keyboard works in X |
| [08:33:43] |
<GPSFan> |
can you type int the login box? |
| [08:33:45] |
<T0mW> |
yes |
| [08:33:50] |
<GPSFan> |
k |
| [08:34:06] |
<GPSFan> |
and you can't login |
| [08:34:16] |
<T0mW> |
I was thinking of putting the howto up on openzipit.org |
| [08:34:26] |
<GPSFan> |
good thinking |
| [08:34:28] |
<T0mW> |
just so others can get to the point where I am |
| [08:34:44] |
<T0mW> |
I have another makefile and stole a few ideas from poky as to how to setup the build environment. |
| [08:34:54] |
<T0mW> |
less hassle |
| [08:36:18] |
<T0mW> |
right now I'm doing some kernel work, chasing down a potential problem with the enc28j60 driver. I used that chip on two s3c2410 designs. |
| [08:36:51] |
<GPSFan> |
using the spi framework? |
| [08:37:39] |
<T0mW> |
yes, the one board currently only has one spi device. the other (HammerLCD) uses both spi controllers: enc28j60 and MMC |
| [08:38:07] |
<GPSFan> |
how is performance? It sucked on the hammer using bit-banged i/o |
| [08:38:11] |
<T0mW> |
I've got a MAC error from the enc28j60 that might be the fault of the new spi framework. |
| [08:38:22] |
<T0mW> |
GPSFan: 300kB/s |
| [08:38:36] |
<T0mW> |
that is from hdparm |
| [08:38:40] |
<T0mW> |
doh |
| [08:38:47] |
<GPSFan> |
wow, that's much better than the 200kbits/sec that I got. |
| [08:38:53] |

<T0mW> |
no, that was it, hdparm. |
| [08:39:00] |
<T0mW> |
faster CPU |
| [08:39:07] |
<GPSFan> |
heh |
| [08:39:23] |
<T0mW> |
IIRC, the Z1 was 90MHz? |
| [08:39:46] |
<GPSFan> |
after the kernel tweaks, it started out at 75 |
| [08:39:51] |
<T0mW> |
yeah |
| [08:40:48] |
<T0mW> |
I think that the Hammer board would be much better off if they had only brought out one SPI and replaced the other with the SDI |
| [08:41:02] |
<T0mW> |
oh well |
| [08:42:36] |
<T0mW> |
it is fun working inside the kernel again. It has been a while since I've done that. |
| [08:42:51] |
<T0mW> |
frustrating too |
| [08:46:47] |
<GPSFan> |
yeah, many changes between 2.6.21 and 2.6.26.rcx |
| [08:46:58] |
<T0mW> |
a lot |
| [08:47:42] |
<T0mW> |
the SDI is not in the release candidates (linux-2.6.26-rc6), you still have to patch it in. |
| [08:48:01] |
<T0mW> |
at least for the samsung cpus |
| [08:53:02] |
<T0mW> |
GPSFan: there is a way in OE to use an external toolchain. By doing that, you can cut down on the time it takes to do a build as you don't have to waste it on the dev tools. |
| [08:53:13] |
<T0mW> |
GPSFan: I just haven't figured out how to do that |
| [08:53:45] |
<GPSFan> |
that would be a useful feature. also to be able to use uclibc |
| [08:54:32] |
<T0mW> |
Dave was looking to do that. I don't think he got good results |
