<_unreal_> |
? |
| [00:18:19] |
<mozzwald> |
to turn off keyboard led's type that |
| [00:23:03] |
<_unreal_> |
is there a list of special key commands for the zipit somewhere I'm over looking? |
| [00:26:15] |
<mozzwald> |
all userlands are different. most linux commands are the same. there isn't a comprehensive list of zipit specific command that I'm aware of. |
| [00:26:47] |
<_unreal_> |
keyb off is an example |
| [00:26:52] |
<mozzwald> |
most scripts I've added to userlands are in /usr/local/bin and /usr/local/sbin |
| [00:28:16] |
<mozzwald> |
theres a readme file in /root on the openwrt recovery |
| [00:28:35] |
<mozzwald> |
has a little info in it |
| [00:35:30] |
<_unreal_> |
ok last question before I go to bed WAY late |
| [00:35:42] |
<_unreal_> |
be at work at 6:30am its now midnight 30 |
| [00:36:02] |
<_unreal_> |
will the zipit still charge? if its suspended? or does it handle that at the hardware level? |
| [00:36:33] |
<mozzwald> |
yes, it does |
| [00:37:10] |
<_unreal_> |
sweet. een just with the recvoery OS at least I can do something with the zipit now with out it running out of juice REAL fast |

ok almost there!! thanks to mozzwald for getty, now getty complaining about /sbin/login. it appears to be missing |
| [08:29:11] |

i guess that means i need a package, but i did notice that login.sh is in /sbin... does this mean that login.sh has an error? |

I chopped off openssl and know it should fit into the partions. jffs2 image is now 5.6MB. I'll flash a new ZipIt and if it works... post the images. |
| [11:51:34] |
<mozzwald> |
slug_: you just have to dd those files to the proper mtd partitions |
| [11:51:44] |
<slug_> |
I was refreshing my javascript last night, I'm pretty excited about this |
| [11:52:18] |

ok question re openwrt.... how do people shutdown? |
| [11:53:04] |
<slug_> |
poweroff |
| [11:53:19] |
<mozzwald> |
you can modify those patches to your liking |
| [11:53:22] |
<slug_> |
OR suspend |
| [11:53:36] |
<mozzwald> |
you just have to do the math for the sizes |
| [11:53:41] |
<twospruces> |
mozzwald. tried again. more carefully...still not working re login, going to try again |
| [11:53:57] |
<slug_> |
ok, so the smallest size for the kernel partion is not 2 MB |
| [11:54:29] |
<twospruces> |
ok poweroff... cheers. iwas used to shutdown now |
| [11:54:35] |
<mozzwald> |
twospruces: you can also rename your busybox bin and replace it with this http://mozzwald.com/busybox.bin then create the login symlink |
| [11:55:24] |
<mozzwald> |
slug_: I just chose 2mb to allow for expanding |
| [11:56:20] |
<slug_> |
meh, who needs openssl anyway? |
| [11:56:47] |
<mozzwald> |
you seem to want it :) |
| [11:56:52] |
<slug_> |
I don't think anyway, not like I'm setting up a store |
| [11:58:48] |
<slug_> |
for now I'll just keep it simple and match the partions you established |
| [11:59:46] |
<slug_> |
seems like there should be plenty of space left for scripts, but it's good to know that more can be obtained |
| [12:00:01] |
*** |

<mozzwald> |
you could also remove the uboot splash partition too |
| [12:01:09] |

I was thinking about that too. I may use that thought, to help distinguish my ZipIts |
| [12:01:42] |
<mozzwald> |
you can't keep track of all 25? :) |
| [12:02:32] |
<slug_> |
it's starting to get complicated |
| [12:03:18] |
<slug_> |
and then you went posted the link for the 20 free peeks |

I gonna have to hide those when they arrive |

my wife will be all over it |

hehe |
| [12:05:00] |
<mozzwald> |
you have any plans for them yet? |
| [12:06:44] |
<slug_> |
the peeks? not really. I spent alot of time an similar CPU and have good code base for running bare metal on ARM7TDMI |
| [12:07:27] |
<slug_> |
so I image it being a good accesory for the ZipIt, connect to USB and share the GSM modem |
| [12:08:50] |
<mozzwald> |
can you get full network access with the modem in them? I wasn't sure if it only provided some kind of special push/pull data interface |
| [12:09:51] |
<slug_> |
I'm not really sure, it sounded like they would provide the source code to the existing OS/application |
| [12:10:01] |
<slug_> |
that would include drivers too |
| [12:10:54] |
<slug_> |
I think you would need a sim card to connect to a network too |
| [12:12:23] |
<mozzwald> |
yep, tmobile sim card required I think. I did some skimming about it, but complete details seem to be lacking at this point |
| [12:15:51] |
<slug_> |
someday it's gonna cost pennies to get a device onto those networks though, I'm sure it could also be hacked with a little investigation |

this new batch of ZipIts is a little different than the first |
| [13:14:38] |
<slug_> |
I was able to flash uboot right out of the box with the first batch -- no updates required |
| [13:15:07] |
<slug_> |
this batch looks like it came straight from the factory, |
| [13:16:35] |
<slug_> |
this batch dies as soon as I put the SD card in, nor will it boot from the SD card. I'm guessing I need to update the drivers to handle SDHC |
| [13:18:49] |
<mozzwald> |
slug_: it shuts off when you put the sd card in? |
| [13:20:27] |
<slug_> |
yeah, they're acting weird |
| [13:21:02] |
<slug_> |
not sure what's going now. it's still happening after the update |

Sir_Naitsirhc: hi |
| [13:36:15] |
<Sir_Naitsirhc> |
Hi Mozzwald, I was going to try to re-image my card with the sidX package, but I think I bricked my zipit. I had uboot working, but my sd-card slot broke. |
| [13:37:13] |
<Sir_Naitsirhc> |
I took it apart and removed the faulty spring. Now when I power it on, it hangs at the OpenZipit now with U-Boot screen. Any ideas? |
| [13:38:49] |
<mozzwald> |
I imagine the card is not being recognized and that's why it's not booting. what happened to the sd slot? |
| [13:39:04] |
<Sir_Naitsirhc> |
It would not lock the card in place |
| [13:39:17] |
<Sir_Naitsirhc> |
The tiny locking mechanism broke |
| [13:40:06] |
<mozzwald> |
hmm..i'm pretty sure then that the card slot is the issue. the logo appearing means the zipit is trying to boot at least |
| [13:42:49] |
<mozzwald> |
i dunno if anyone has found or even looked for replacement card slots |
| [13:43:43] |
<Sir_Naitsirhc> |
I might grab my friends volt meter to see if there is a connection between the sd-card and the zipit |
| [13:43:50] |
<mozzwald> |
are all the pins in the slot still intact/not bent? |
| [13:44:11] |
<Sir_Naitsirhc> |
They seem fine |
| [13:44:55] |
<mozzwald> |
do you have a card with rootfs that was known to be working before it broke? |
| [13:45:09] |
<Sir_Naitsirhc> |
yes, I have that one inserted now |
| [13:45:34] |
<mozzwald> |
still has your old working rootfs on it? |
| [13:45:47] |
<Sir_Naitsirhc> |
yes |
| [13:46:04] |
<Sir_Naitsirhc> |
I was trying to boot it after several months of sitting on a shelf\ |
| [13:46:59] |
<mozzwald> |
if you have another adapter/card try that. card slot couldve damaged card or adapter |
| [13:48:20] |
<Sir_Naitsirhc> |
Ok, I will be back in a little while with the results :) |
| [13:48:49] |

the basic desktop stuff. :-) |
| [15:34:30] |
<mozzwald> |
you can try z2sidX, but if you're expecting a desktop os you'll be disappointed ;) |
| [15:35:16] |
<`Nerobro> |
Naa, I just think it might be need to load some webbrowser to shock someone. |
| [15:35:16] |
<`Nerobro> |
might be neat. |
| [15:35:25] |
<`Nerobro> |
My ultimate goal is to use one as a datalogger and webserver. |
| [15:35:34] |
<`Nerobro> |
It's power and storage are on the right levels for that. |
| [15:36:24] |
<mozzwald> |
ah, ok. well z2lite has links2 gui browser if thats what you want |
| [15:36:53] |
<mozzwald> |
not sure if it has webserver or not |

the webserver i'm going to need to scrounge up. I've done that before. |
| [15:37:35] |
<`Nerobro> |
There's a whole bunch of lightweight ones. |
| [15:37:54] |
<`Nerobro> |
and once I get it on a network.... Actually taht's something I had the most trouble with. I couldn't get the wireless card doing much of anything |
| [15:38:19] |
<mozzwald> |
you could try openwrt too. has plenty of webserver stuff I'm sure. I think there's a gui broswer too |
| [15:38:35] |
<`Nerobro> |
open wrt? |
| [15:38:41] |
<`Nerobro> |
what's the basis of that? |

`Nerobro googles |

`Nerobro nods |
| [15:39:12] |
<mozzwald> |
its designed for routers originally, but works on zipit too |
| [15:39:12] |
<`Nerobro> |
that' what I thought it was. |
| [15:39:19] |
<`Nerobro> |
cool |
| [15:39:24] |
<`Nerobro> |
Seems manageable. |
| [15:39:38] |
<`Nerobro> |
and more likely to get the wireless card working withougt at 2398470219374810293874021734 charecter init string |
| [15:40:25] |
<`Nerobro> |
well I'll give that a shot. |
| [15:40:32] |
<`Nerobro> |
do you mess with the Z1 at all? |
| [15:40:45] |
<`Nerobro> |
the webpage that was hosting the driections for making it into a webserver was taken down |
| [15:40:47] |
<mozzwald> |
no, never had one |
| [15:40:52] |
<`Nerobro> |
(more likely, the zipit was turned off...) |
| [15:41:26] |
<`Nerobro> |
So there's a pad for a UART on the zipit? |
| [15:41:56] |
<mozzwald> |
yep |
| [15:42:09] |
<`Nerobro> |
that's just plain awesome |
| [15:42:31] |
<`Nerobro> |
what else is hiding on there? |
| [15:42:42] |
<`Nerobro> |
I know it can be tweaked to be a USB host. |
| [15:43:17] |
<mozzwald> |
yeah, usb host or otg from the external dock. hafta build your own cable tho. |
| [15:43:43] |
<`Nerobro> |
I've never seen the external dock |
| [15:47:46] |
<mozzwald> |
http://bealecorner.org/best/measure/z2/z2-connector-pins.jpg |
| [15:51:08] |
<anarsoul> |
and bunch of gpios on external connector! |
| [15:51:28] |
<`Nerobro> |
really? Hmm... |
| [15:51:34] |
<`Nerobro> |
so the zipit could seriously do some logging. |
| [15:52:31] |

well if it's got serial out |

you can use a bone stock arduino as a I/O adapter, and have a dozen 400hz pwm and nearly as many gpio ;-) |

it's on ttyS2 for sure |

<twospruces> |
what are other uboot distros....openwrt looks like too much of an oddball for me. any thoughts? |
| [19:30:12] |
<twospruces> |
the fact thet inittab cannot be modified to have a respawn getty is a showstopper for me, unless i can figure out a respawing bash script. |
| [19:30:54] |
<abrasive> |
why can't inittab have a respawning getty? |
| [19:31:14] |
<twospruces> |
wifi times out and i have to pwer cycle to get wifi back also... |
| [19:31:17] |
<abrasive> |
i'm assuming the getty process dies when the login session is done and you want it to be restarted? |
| [19:32:47] |
<twospruces> |
all these issues were gone in aloisa.. russell! you said openwrt! i hold you responsible !! ;) |

abrasive yes . i want to at any time login over bluetooth serial link. |
| [19:34:04] |
<twospruces> |
inittab in openwrt does not work the same as usual...part ot the tradeoffs made... found a reference on the web |
| [19:35:38] |
<twospruces> |
if i had a better chat client i would post a link.. |
| [19:35:53] |
<abrasive> |
then just run a script that while true; do getty bla bla; done |
| [19:38:16] |
<twospruces> |
//forum.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php?id=23222 |
| [19:39:28] |
<twospruces> |
triedbthat. problem is getty turns into something else.. i end up with multiple processes running, competing for ttys1 |
| [19:39:55] |
<abrasive> |
if it daemonises, then it's not supposed to be launched in a loop... |
| [19:40:09] |
<abrasive> |
if you really want to do that then it will have some sort of "foreground" or "no daemon" switch |
| [19:40:10] |
<twospruces> |
/bin/ash --login |
| [19:40:21] |
<abrasive> |
which getty are you using? |
| [19:40:32] |
<twospruces> |
getty |
| [19:40:42] |
<abrasive> |
where did it come from? |
| [19:40:44] |
<twospruces> |
not mgetty or agetty |
| [19:40:56] |
<twospruces> |
special, from mozzwald |
| [19:41:09] |
<twospruces> |
compiled into busybox |
| [19:41:19] |
<abrasive> |
oh, right. |
| [19:41:24] |
<twospruces> |
i maybtry mgetty |
| [19:41:54] |
<abrasive> |
it should run in a loop just fine. |
| [19:42:09] |
<abrasive> |
what are you running as your loop script, exactly? |
| [19:42:36] |
<twospruces> |
maybe i will retry the loop script... kinda hard topost here. |

why are you using ps and grep? |

heylow. |

is there something I'm missing or didnt do etc....? I tried to connect to a local open wifi with the recovery openwrt and I had nothing but errors trying to setup wifi |

iwconfig wland0 ANY option returned a syntext error |
| [21:31:55] |
<mozzwald> |
i can't say I've tested an open network with it |
| [21:32:25] |
<_unreal_> |
iwconfig is 90% non working then |
| [21:33:08] |
<mozzwald> |
if you do a fresh boot, then "ifconfig wlan0 up" then iwconfig wlan0 essid opennetworkid |
| [21:33:17] |

I would think it should work |

is the iwconfig package even needed then? free up some space |

i havent used iw much. you hafta read the man page |
| [21:42:10] |

should be safe to remove iwconfig |

do you know what has changed then? to make it so that iwconfig does not work? |

all I want is a working script that does this: |
