[10:23:48] <walrus45> hey guys.
[10:24:15] <walrus45> i want to put the openwrt recoveryOS on my system, but i already have uboot
[10:24:30] <walrus45> i see there is a script for this, but everytime i run it, it just freezes the system
[10:24:48] <walrus45> is this a known problem?
[10:27:47] <walrus45> i have tried running it out of z2sid and wepjs small userland
[10:28:32] <walrus45> if anyone could recommend a course of action, i would be much obliged

[11:14:11] *** GPSFan has joined #zipit
[11:14:52] <mozzwald> walrus45: at what point does it freeze?
[11:15:47] <mozzwald> and which script are you using?
[11:20:03] <walrus45> the z2Uflasher on your site: http://mozzwald.com/node/148
[11:20:22] <walrus45> the one designed for preubooted zipits
[11:21:24] <walrus45> it says something along the lines of preparing the image. and never gets out of that
[11:22:16] <mozzwald> you are running as root from the uflasher dir?
[11:22:36] <walrus45> yes sir
[11:22:52] <anarsoul> wait
[11:23:00] <anarsoul> but you have u-booted zipit, right?
[11:23:06] <walrus45> yep
[11:25:02] <anarsoul> so you have to use z2uflasher, not flashstock
[11:25:18] <walrus45> correct
[11:25:25] <anarsoul> (not sure however, did it only once :))
[11:25:56] <anarsoul> mozzwald: do you still have zipit with jtag attached?
[11:26:17] <walrus45> unless it would be easier to just flash back to the stock. but i have already misplaced my backup of that...
[11:28:00] <UnderSampled> so, I still have a stock zipit with IZ2S. I want to be able to install common programs, so should I use z2sid? I haven't tried anything
[11:28:53] <mozzwald> walrus45: I'm not sure what's happening. do you have uboot splash image at boot?
[11:29:21] <walrus45> nope. it just pulls up a white screen and counts down to the autoboot
[11:29:30] <mozzwald> anarsoul: i don't have it attached, but not too hard to solder it up
[11:30:21] <anarsoul> ok, I'm just planning to get those pxa27x keypad stuff into mainline u-boot, and still have no proper soldering iron :)
[11:30:54] <anarsoul> would you be able to test some binaries from me? (in some future, not now of course, they're not ready :))
[11:31:22] <mozzwald> walrus45: ok, try using slug's latest openwrt flash. it's much better than mine :) but you will have to edit the uboot variables after you flash
[11:31:25] <mozzwald> http://blog.engine12.com/?p=460
[11:31:47] <mozzwald> sure thing anarsoul. just lemmie know
[11:32:07] <anarsoul> ok, thanks :)
[11:32:10] <walrus45> oo looks pretty. thanks
[11:38:27] <mozzwald> UnderSampled: z2sid has debian repos so there is lots of software there to use, but openwrt has a good amount of software also. what are you planning to use it for?
[11:38:37] <UnderSampled> mozzwald: I don't know
[11:38:59] <UnderSampled> I was thinking of connecting it to a serial terminal, to act like an old computer
[11:41:36] <mozzwald> cool. here's a list of the openwrt packages. http://chainxor.org/openwrt-zipit/snapshot/packages/Packages
[11:41:58] <mozzwald> you can search debian repos at packages.debian.org
[12:06:08] *** `Nerobro__ is now known as `Nerobro
[12:13:14] <walrus45> mozzwald: thanks for the suggestion, it worked!
[12:16:11] <mozzwald> walrus45: cool. did you have to change bootargs?
[12:16:25] <mozzwald> or have you booted it yet?
[12:17:13] <walrus45> i didnt have to change anything
[12:17:43] <walrus45> i just poped the memory card in, and it booted right up, ran the flash script and its on there now
[12:18:09] <mozzwald> did you reboot without the card in to see if it runs from flash mem?
[12:18:23] <UnderSampled> is there an arch distro for zipit?
[12:18:40] <walrus45> yeah
[12:19:00] <mozzwald> alrighty. have fun walrus45
[12:19:07] <walrus45> thanks again!
[12:19:25] <mozzwald> UnderSampled: yeah, wejp has instructions on hsi site
[12:19:28] <mozzwald> *his
[12:21:28] <UnderSampled> would that be a good choise?
[12:22:42] <mozzwald> sure. arch has lots of packages and is pretty light. it will prolly take some work to get some things tweaked (keymaps, wifi, etc) but shouldn't be too difficult
[12:23:42] <mozzwald> tntexplosivesltd is running arch. maybe he could give you some tips

[12:26:36] *** walrus45 has joined #zipit
[12:27:07] <walrus45> hey guys [from zipit]
[12:27:48] *** walrus45 is now known as walrus44
[12:27:52] <mozzwald> welcome back walrus44 :)
[12:29:05] *** walrus44 has quit IRC
[13:17:00] *** slug_ has joined #zipit
[13:24:25] <slug_> I figured out a fair solution for syncing an mp3 stream across the zipits, and it's pretty generic. it's interesting... all the magic is being compiled by openwrt already, but it's not being packaged, so you have to manually look for it and copy it :)
[13:24:47] <slug_> the openwrt package to compile is called openRTSP
[13:26:09] <slug_> it compiles a whole bunch of stuff including two programs 'testMP3Receiver' and 'testMPStreamer'
[13:27:08] <slug_> but it only packages openRTSP? maybe someone (i.e. mozzwald) could add those to the install and include it in the repo?
[13:28:16] <slug_> then all that's needed to stream a multicast mp3 stream is a file called test.mp3
[13:29:05] <slug_> cd to the location of test.mp3 and run testMP3Receiver, no args required
[13:29:31] <slug_> if all works it will tell you that it's streaming,
[13:30:31] <slug_> then on another ZipIt... create a fifo --> $ mkfifo in.mp3
[13:31:27] <slug_> testMP3Receiver > in.mp3 & mpg123 in.mp3
[13:32:20] <slug_> it's not quite perfect, but running it over batman is working really well, have fun :)

[23:15:20] <tntexplosivesltd> UnderSampled: hey, you're wanting to run arch?
[23:15:31] <UnderSampled> tntexplosivesltd: I was thinking about it
[23:15:35] <UnderSampled> do you recommend it?
[23:17:23] <tntexplosivesltd> well it's all I have tried =P
[23:17:30] <tntexplosivesltd> it's certainly small
[23:17:44] <tntexplosivesltd> but I need to be careful about not updating certain packages etc
[23:18:04] <UnderSampled> like which ones?
[23:18:07] <tntexplosivesltd> I normally just don't update at all
[23:18:24] <tntexplosivesltd> well the main kernel, the wireless stuff, etc
[23:18:38] <tntexplosivesltd> those are the only things I saw problems with
[23:18:50] <UnderSampled> would z2sid make more sense?
[23:19:00] <tntexplosivesltd> never used it, can't say
[23:19:02] <UnderSampled> or openwrt?
[23:19:58] <tntexplosivesltd> can't say

[23:50:40] <tntexplosivesltd> UnderSampled: I might have to try the openwrt release at some stage
[23:50:54] <tntexplosivesltd> UnderSampled: what are you running at the moment?
[23:51:09] <UnderSampled> 1z2s
[23:51:14] <tntexplosivesltd> I mean there's not really anything I can't do under arch
[23:51:33] <UnderSampled> I meant Iz2s
[23:51:38] <tntexplosivesltd> yea lol
[23:54:30] <tntexplosivesltd> go with what seems easiest for now
[23:54:45] <tntexplosivesltd> I'll give openwrt a go and get back to you at some stage
[23:54:53] <tntexplosivesltd> probably not for a while
