What doc is most up-to-date at the moment? I'm following http://www.openzipit.org/Z2Develop/InstallImage/ at the moment; the build worked after fixing one issue described at http://forum.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php?id=16585 , but now prepSDcard.pl is being flummoxed by the fact that SD cards are now /dev/mmcblkXpX, not /dev/sdXX (which I'm sure I can fix, but guessing theis means it's not what other people |
| [21:12:17] |
<djbclark> |
are using these days) |
| [21:48:06] |
<djbclark> |
So edited that file like http://zipit.pastebin.com/f3821af8e - hd to run, remove and then re-insert card so the new partiution (p2) showed up in /dev, and then run again, but it seems to have worked. On "Please wait: booting..." on Z2 atm... |

(using http://linux.zipitwireless.com/wiki/OpenEmbedded#GettingthelatestOpenEmbeddedImagefortheZipit2 - still on waiting...) |
| [21:56:47] |
<djbclark> |
Now seem to be having the same issue as in http://linux.zipitwireless.com/discussion/1/13 |
| [22:02:26] |
<djbclark> |
Trying image referenced from http://linux.zipitwireless.com/discussion/1/8 ... |
| [22:18:14] |
<steerpik1> |
djbclark: oh, i had the same problem |
| [22:18:28] |
<djbclark> |
What solution did you find? |
| [22:18:29] |
<steerpik1> |
djbclark: would you like my version of the sd card installer? |
| [22:18:53] |
<djbclark> |
Sure. Although actually have something booted now, using card created by modified .pl script and someone's random tarball for the ext3 partition. |
| [22:19:12] |
* |
djbclark wonders what distro / architecture people are doingf successful OE/ZipIt2 build from. |
| [22:19:23] |
<steerpik1> |
oh, so you already got that working then? |
| [22:19:33] |
<steerpik1> |
ok, i'm currently using buildroot, but i'm going to get to work on OE soon |
| [22:19:47] |
<djbclark> |
Well "working" is a loose term... I should see if the thing I built works, but probably after sleep. |
| [22:19:53] |
<djbclark> |
but yeah have a root prompt :-) |
| [22:23:00] |
<steerpik1> |
i don't like the drivers on OE very much :\ |
| [22:23:13] |
<steerpik1> |
i've used it in the passed, i stopped using it after the toolchain broken for no reason |
| [22:23:33] |
<steerpik1> |
this is the one i used.. http://echelon.net.ru/prepSDcard.txt |
| [22:23:40] |
<djbclark> |
it seems to be fragile. I'm very new to all this - what are you using instead? |
| [22:23:46] |
<djbclark> |
ah thanks, beat me too it :) |
| [22:23:54] |
<steerpik1> |
^_^ |
| [22:24:08] |
<steerpik1> |
i'm currently just using the z2 shell hack |
| [22:24:25] |
<steerpik1> |
and i just copy over the binaries i compile from buildroot |
| [22:24:35] |
<steerpik1> |
this is what i've done so far.. http://echelon.net.ru/z2_shell_v2a.tar.gz |
| [22:24:47] |
<djbclark> |
http://echelon.net.ru/prepSDcard.txt is the same thing that ships with oe looks like |
| [22:24:48] |
<steerpik1> |
i keep forgetting to order a second mini sd card |
| [22:26:33] |
<steerpik1> |
djbclark: yeah, except the device names were changed |
| [22:26:38] |
<djbclark> |
I ordered 2 since they don't seem to be available in local stores :) |
| [22:26:50] |
<steerpik1> |
you can do a diff on it to see what was changed |
| [22:26:52] |
<djbclark> |
cool I;'ll check that out. |
| [22:27:00] |
<djbclark> |
(your image3 that is) |
| [22:27:32] |
<steerpik1> |
the problem is that the prepSDcard script creates seperate partitions, to use mine you'll have to remove all the partitions created |
| [22:28:41] |
<steerpik1> |
from what i've heard from others the wifi drivers provided on OE doesn't support WEP/WPA iirc |
| [22:29:29] |
<steerpik1> |
the shell hack just loads the drivers already on the unit.. that's why i switched back |
| [22:29:55] |
<steerpik1> |
also, OE uses glibc instead of uclibc |
| [22:33:14] |
<djbclark> |
Is one of the keys actually "ctrl" from the command line? |
| [22:34:02] |
<steerpik1> |
ctrl is the "..." key |
| [22:34:15] |
<steerpik1> |
esc is the smiley face |
| [22:34:42] |
<djbclark> |
thx |
| [22:34:47] |
<steerpik1> |
cool.. 2gb minisd for $5.40 on ebay |
| [22:34:57] |
<steerpik1> |
i think 2gb is the most the z2 can handle |
| [22:36:53] |
<djbclark> |
it was like $6 via newegg... yueah I just saw a thread on that, also it has trouble booting off some brands of sd cards due to speed issues. |
| [22:37:44] |
<steerpik1> |
the boot issue happened to me a few times as well, just took it out and put it back in |
| [22:38:09] |
<steerpik1> |
eh, newegg's shipping is too expensive |
| [22:39:10] |
<djbclark> |
yeah it's annoying. |
| [22:42:26] |
<steerpik1> |
alright, now i will have two sd cards to test on.. i wonder if i could do dual boot |
| [22:42:32] |
<steerpik1> |
oh well |
| [22:43:07] |
<djbclark> |
if it's just a shell script that runs to do the chroot, I would think you could have multiple filesystem roots on the same sd card pretty easily. |
| [22:43:40] |
<steerpik1> |
yeah, that's what i was thinking |
| [22:44:02] |
<djbclark> |
are you also seeing really sensitive key repeat? |
| [22:49:50] |
<steerpik1> |
yeah, it depends on how hard you press the keys |
| [22:49:57] |
<steerpik1> |
you get used to it a little after a while |
| [22:52:07] |
<steerpik1> |
if you use the OE image, you can set the repeat rate with kbd_mode |
| [22:52:35] |
<steerpik1> |
i can't say i've seen a significant change using it, i just accustomed my key presses |
| [22:53:52] |
<djbclark> |
I'm using the matchbox x-terminal-emulator at the moment and haven't seen it there yet. |
| [22:54:38] |
<steerpik1> |
i think it's part of the console-tools package |
| [23:33:04] |
<djbclark> |
steerpik1: with your image I get "Error for wireless request "Set ESSID" (8B1A) : SET failed on device eth0 ; Connection refused." - this is both before and after "ifconfig eth0 down". |
| [23:34:17] |
<steerpik1> |
djbclark: oops, did you change the wpa_supplicant.conf file? |
| [23:34:35] |
<djbclark> |
steerpik1: yes; oh, there's a wpa_cli or something you are supposed to use with wpa, right? perhaps I'm just doing it wrong... |
| [23:34:56] |
<steerpik1> |
djbclark: it's actually just using the original wpa_supplicant on the z2 |
| [23:36:50] |
<djbclark> |
what's the command you use to connect? |
| [23:37:14] |
<steerpik1> |
djbclark: did you check if the card is associated though? |
| [23:37:21] |
<steerpik1> |
run `iwconfig eth0` |
| [23:37:33] |
<steerpik1> |
if it shows the mac address next to "Access Point", then it worked |
| [23:39:03] |
<djbclark> |
yeah it didn't. could just have wpa options wrong... I'll try getting it working from a laptop first. |
| [23:39:11] |
<steerpik1> |
kk |
| [23:41:40] |
<steerpik1> |
i've been planning on writing a console interface like wpa_cli |
| [23:41:48] |
<steerpik1> |
never got around to it :( |
| [23:42:03] |
<steerpik1> |
i use wpa_gui on the laptop |
| [23:52:15] |
<djbclark> |
hmm so the problem there was just that the syntax in the file was for WPA2 and I have WPA-PSK; next, try to find out what the dhcp client daemon is called... |
| [23:53:49] |
<djbclark> |
ah udhcpc |
| [23:54:27] |
<djbclark> |
SWEET! ssh-ed into the zipit z2... thanks steerpik1 ! :-) |
| [23:54:46] |
<steerpik1> |
^_^ |
| [23:57:43] |
<steerpik1> |
even if you connect to a open ap, you should use wpa_supplicant |
| [23:57:48] |
<steerpik1> |
because it keeps the signal stabilized |
| [23:59:03] |
<steerpik1> |
rather, it reassociates automatically |
