| 00:21.41 | CodeWhacker | yep. that aforementioned uclibc build is to test that I have mii.o getting included. If it works, then nslu2-linksys is a go for usb net. |

| 00:31.21 | [g2] | back |
| 00:31.37 | jimbuzbee | Hi Rod! |
| 00:32.12 | rwhitby | jim: are you going to jump on the OE bandwagon? |
| 00:33.32 | CodeWhacker | :) |
| 00:33.38 | jimbuzbee | It's where I'd like to go, but I'm continuously running behind you guys. I'm working on my Unslung article now, so I can't be trying out OE yet |
| 00:34.12 | rwhitby | ok - you know that Unslung 2.0 will be based on OE right, but that probably won't be till well after your Unslung 1.x article goes out :-) |
| 00:34.47 | jimbuzbee | That's what I gather - and it sounds good. I'm really ready to try out some new USB gadgets |
| 00:34.47 | rwhitby | [unless someone else has more time to work on the e2tools package in OE than I do] |
| 00:35.44 | Squid | rwhitby: How will Unslung being based on OE affect the packages that we've converted? Will it make the work pointless (i.e. should people even bother cross-compiling and converting more packages)? |
| 00:37.05 | rwhitby | it should be a smooth process to convert a package to OE. Most of the work is in working out how to get it to cross compile, not how to put that in an Unslung Makefile or an OE .oe file |
| 00:37.17 | Squid | k |
| 00:37.26 | kergoth | well, oe already has most of what you guys have spent all this time on |
| 00:37.37 | kergoth | for the things that arent added, yes, it should be painless to get them in |
| 00:37.44 | rwhitby | kergoth: yeah, but it's a learning exercise too |
| 00:37.52 | rwhitby | get people in the cross compile mindset |
| 00:37.58 | Squid | Well, I've learned several times :P |
| 00:38.09 | kergoth | i'm planning on writing a top 10 buildsystem screwups page |
| 00:38.20 | rwhitby | will we feature? |
| 00:38.22 | Squid | I can certainly contribute to that |
| 00:38.23 | kergoth | as guidance for developers who are having to do build work (interacting with auto*) |
| 00:38.38 | kergoth | 10 wont be enough, actually |
| 00:38.39 | kergoth | closer to 25 |
| 00:38.42 | tking-laptop | ouch |
| 00:38.55 | rwhitby | [we, being the Unslung 1.x build system :-)] |
| 00:39.00 | tking-laptop | does oe currently have a wiki? |
| 00:39.04 | kergoth | .. |
| 00:39.08 | kergoth | openembedded.org is one big wiki |
| 00:39.14 | Squid | so basically, it's probably pointless to convert more packages if we (each of us individually) has converted a few? |
| 00:39.19 | tking-laptop | okay lemme go look there. |
| 00:39.38 | Squid | I'd imagine OE probably has a ton of packages already converted |
| 00:40.16 | rwhitby | Squid: depends, if you can help get Unslung into OE, then that would be effort better spent. But if you're not able to assist in that, then porting more packages (especially ones that are not in OE, like mt-daapd) is worthwhile. |
| 00:40.36 | tking-laptop | I'm moving from PhpWiki to PmWiki on my site...much better features. |
| 00:40.50 | rwhitby | really? |
| 00:40.51 | Squid | I doubt I can help with anything related to kernel stuff, if that's what's needed. That's a whole new kettle of fish. |
| 00:41.12 | rwhitby | Squid: no, the big sticking point for Unslung 2.x now is just getting e2tools into OE |
| 00:41.21 | Squid | ??e2tools |
| 00:41.30 | tking-laptop | e2fstools? |
| 00:41.46 | rwhitby | to modify the Linksys ramdisk to be an unslung ramdisk. |
| 00:41.50 | Squid | k |
| 00:42.00 | kergoth | alright, i'm adding e2tools |
| 00:42.05 | kergoth | should be building in a few minutes, hold |
| 00:42.07 | rwhitby | check the log from last 8 hours or so - we discussed it last night. |
| 00:42.09 | tking-laptop | can you mount the image via loopback? |
| 00:42.13 | kergoth | no. |
| 00:42.19 | kergoth | oe does not require that you be root. evfer. |
| 00:42.21 | kergoth | s/fer/er/ |
| 00:42.30 | rwhitby | [we ask, and kergoth delivers. Awesome!] |
| 00:44.13 | rwhitby | then we just need to replicate the patching thats done in the firmware/Makefile into an OE package to do the same thing to create the rootfs. Then we use the existing work that kergoth did you create a flash image from that and the nslu2-linksys kernel. |
| 00:44.13 | kergoth | rwhitby: as a lazy person, i cant stand to see people wasting time |
| 00:44.21 | kergoth | i'd rather add it and get it in quickly so you can move on to other things |
| 00:44.38 | rwhitby | kergoth: that's what I've been counting on :-) |
| 00:44.48 | CodeWhacker | crud! mii.o is building, there's an .ipk, it's listed along with the rest of the modules in the distro file, and it *still* won't show up in the root_fs! |
| 00:46.51 | tking-laptop | rwhitby: Phpwiki is pretty basic. PmWiki is much better |
| 00:47.05 | kergoth | i agree, feature wise. |
| 00:48.06 | kergoth | gah, somebody needs to bitchslap the e2tools maintainers for me |
| 00:48.15 | kergoth | nevermind, i'll do it myself. more satisfying |

| 04:03.12 | kergoth | rwhitby: you should take a look at how i did it, to get a better feel for this stuff |
| 04:03.17 | kergoth | rwhitby: there wasnt much to it at all |
| 04:03.24 | tking-away | Tiersten where is the picture? |
| 04:03.43 | rwhitby | I will. I had about 20 minutes look at it last night, and haven't had time to get back to it. |
| 04:03.48 | Tiersten | On the NSLU2 yahoo group |
| 04:04.34 | tking-away | mmmm...pretty! |
| 04:05.27 | Tiersten | The plastic wrapped thing is a bit of veroboard with a MAX3232 |
| 04:13.59 | tking-away | I have a bit of 28ga ribbon cable that I think I'll use to do the connections with a IDC DB25F |
| 04:14.33 | rwhitby | if you want a neat way to mount a DB25F on the case, see my WRT54G serial page. |
| 04:14.41 | rwhitby | http://www.rwhitby.net/wrt54gs/serial.html |
| 04:14.58 | rwhitby | the metal bits cover the hole quite nicely |
| 04:20.40 | Tiersten | You using the serial ports fro debugging or adding hardware? |
| 04:21.42 | rwhitby | on the wrt54g, it's for console. I was intending to use the second port for adding a dial-in modem, but never got around to it. |
| 04:22.55 | Tiersten | ah |
| 04:38.16 | jacques | finally finished backlog |
| 04:38.52 | jacques | I got bad news from my post to the IXP400 SW QnA list on sourceforge about the interrupts problem |
| 04:39.13 | jacques | gelloglue responded and said basically "that's just how it works" :-( I am very sad. |
| 04:39.32 | jacques | http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?thread_id=1148169&forum_id=311814 |
| 04:42.13 | tking-away | :( |
| 04:44.06 | tking-away | rwhitby: thats just how I plan to do this. your article is wonderful |
| 04:44.41 | rwhitby | yeah, wish I could find the time to do the nslu2 version properly |
| 04:45.05 | tking-away | I think that mounting it in the bottom is the best place..there is room for it. |
| 04:45.43 | rwhitby | can you dremel away some of the stand so that if you don't have anything plugged in, then you can still stand it upright? |
| 04:48.05 | tking-away | I was thinking of that..but mostly think I'll lay it down. |
| 04:48.46 | tking-away | I *could* make it fit on top although I don't like the Cyborg look. |

| 04:55.24 | rwhitby | Hi McTails |
| 04:55.51 | McTails | I wanted to apologize, I feel like I was rude to you last time I was here |
| 04:57.03 | McTails | I wanted to help in any way I could getting OE working w/ the slug, assuming there is anything to do |
| 04:57.03 | rwhitby | Not that I remember, so it can't have been too bad :-) |
| 04:57.21 | McTails | and on that previous note: I'm getting a WRT54G :) |
| 04:57.29 | rwhitby | ok, first thing to do is install BitKeeper |
| 04:57.35 | McTails | rwhitby: Got it |
| 04:57.42 | rwhitby | Then clone the repository from nslu2-linux.bkbits.net |
| 04:57.45 | McTails | never used it, but I have the binary |
| 04:58.01 | tking | McTails: do you have the toolchain running on OSX? |
| 04:58.43 | McTails | tking: Yeah |
| 04:58.45 | rwhitby | The OpenEmbedded wiki has good instructions. And kergoth wrote a howto for us too (it's in the wiki). wherever it refers to openembedded.bkbits.net, replace that with nslu2-linux.bkbits.net |
| 04:59.02 | McTails | Ok |
| 04:59.13 | McTails | Know where I can find a general guide for BKipper ? |

| 04:59.58 | rwhitby | that's the OE Bitkeeper page |
| 04:59.59 | McTails | kergoth: I'm coming from a CVS/SVN SCM background, anything special I should know about BK |
| 05:00.16 | rwhitby | McTails: there's a page specially for that on bitkeeper.co |
| 05:00.18 | rwhitby | .com |
| 05:00.25 | kergoth | go read. |
| 05:00.26 | McTails | rwhitby: I'm looking now |
| 05:00.33 | kergoth | i have better things to do than hold your hand |
| 05:00.38 | kergoth | documentation exists for a reason |
| 05:00.55 | rwhitby | and the logs from a couple of days ago will have lots of q&a as we all learnt how to use it. |
| 05:01.17 | McTails | rwhitby: I'm catching up |
| 05:08.49 | McTails | rwhitby: I need to go, I'll see you later |
| 05:26.03 | rwhitby | Why don't people think to write stuff directly into the wiki, and then post a link, instead of posting a whole lot of information to the mailing list? |
| 05:26.18 | rwhitby | Info/SetLedOptions added to wiki ... |
| 05:27.17 | tking | rwhitby: it keeps me busy! |
| 05:27.17 | tking | he he |

| 09:42.56 | jacques | ah so it's in? nice I never say him say it was actually pushed |
| 09:43.35 | jacques | I guess I should pull my repos |
| 09:47.10 | jacques | re dyoung |
| 09:48.36 | dyoung | Re. |
| 09:49.10 | dyoung | Everytime I go to Compusa I see the Buffalo Linkstation debating if I should buy it. This has been going on for at least 2 months. |
| 09:50.41 | jacques | what's that? how much is it? |
| 09:53.01 | *** join/#nslu2-linux kas11 (~kar@40-61.73-24.tampabay.rr.com) |
| 09:53.04 | dyoung | PPC Based. ~130 BogoMips. beautiful case. $249 for the one that comes with a 160G drive. |
| 09:54.36 | dyoung | they have a "new" version available in the US now called KuroBox, whihc is directly translated from the Japanese version, "KuroHako" or "Black Box". That one comes with no hard drive. Price Unknown. |
| 09:55.01 | kas11 | anyone know why I am getting "malformed patch" when applying nslu2_2.6.7.patch? |
| 09:56.04 | dyoung | I'm not sure if anyone has actually tested the nslu2_2.6.7.patch file. |
| 09:56.31 | dyoung | That one is the mrakes nslu2 target stuff with a static MTD Partition table. |
| 09:56.56 | kas11 | I don't think there is anything wrong with the patch...if I remove the diff section is is complaining about, it just complains about the next one...and they all look fine and pretty much like the previous ones patch was happy with |
| 09:58.32 | kas11 | yeah, that be the one....I've looked at it 'til I am blue in the face...and buit my own diff to dup what Mark was doing...doesn't help |
| 09:59.09 | kas11 | I even installed a later version of patch |
| 10:01.10 | kas11 | I really hate to resort to fixing the files and cp'ing them... |
| 10:02.57 | kas11 | malformed patch at line 368...mach-types looks a little funky with the tabs...but if I remove that patch, I get an error with the next |
| 10:04.12 | dyoung | Hmm, this doesnt ring any bells. |
| 10:05.09 | kas11 | I saw a note on the oe wiki...so I am exporting LANG=C too |
| 10:05.45 | jacques | i have seen weird stuff like that whem mixing unix and windows |
| 10:06.03 | jacques | with the different /n /n/r thing or whatever |
| 10:17.30 | kas11 | 0A 2B 0A 64 69 66 66 at the point that is is failing...EOL + EOL diff ...just what it should be |
| 10:19.24 | jacques | yeah I just checked it and it seems OK as far as that is concerned |
| 10:23.46 | dyoung | Offtopic, anyone know anything about Fords? |
| 10:24.31 | kas11 | I added 3 more lines to the patch at that point + + +....it ran...geeez |
| 10:25.35 | dyoung | rwhitby, did you have any interest in one of these radio crap USB cables? |
| 10:28.10 | kas11 | I can't beleive it built x1226-rtc.c without complaining...I musta forgot something in the patch |
| 10:28.20 | rwhitby | dyoung: got a picture? |

| 10:28.58 | NAiL | Finally. I'll be getting my nslu2 next week (or so they say...) |
| 10:31.44 | dyoung | No picture. Didnt go shopping for it yet. Basically its a cable with a USB Connector on one side, proprietary Nokia Connector on the other, then you'll break or otherwise disassemble the nokia side and add a 4-pin female plug for SlugUse. |
| 10:33.45 | dyoung | I think there might be a dongle in the middle of the assembly. |
| 10:34.18 | dyoung | Anyways, if I can find the thing on sale for $10 like the others, if you wanted one I can get it and send it with the Digilent JTAG cable. |
| 10:34.54 | jacques | there was a pic linked from the list |
| 10:35.09 | dyoung | It supposedly works under linux with the Prolific driver. |
| 10:36.31 | jacques | http://www.futuredial.com/FDCart/ProductDetails.aspx?pid=725&cid=50 |
| 10:36.51 | jacques | supposedly that's the same cable |
| 10:38.53 | dyoung | I'm going to go hunting for it tommrow at some local radio smacks. |
| 10:39.15 | dyoung | Where, "Youve got questions, we've got shrugs!" |
| 10:57.14 | rwhitby | dyoung: yeah sure, if they have one spare then pick one up for me. I gotta have all the toys everyone else has :-) |
| 10:57.51 | dyoung | Okay, no promises, since I'm even sure I can find 'em. I figured you were a Toy Man. |
| 10:58.36 | rwhitby | cool, thx. I'm not fussed either way, but pick one up if they've got one for $10. |
| 11:08.49 | jacques | I'm also going to try to find a couple - I am running out of serial ports on my pc's |
| 11:09.26 | dyoung | Thats my intention too. I'm totally out of serial ports. I need some sort of port server. |
| 11:10.42 | dyoung | The webfoot looks okay. Its basically a OEM Digi product. |
| 11:11.41 | jacques | now that's an idea |
| 11:13.53 | dyoung | I have several Portserver TS/4's deployed. Been pretty happy with those. |
| 11:19.35 | rwhitby | anyone know which debian package supplies ext2fs/ext2fs.h ? |
| 11:23.17 | rwhitby | never mind, it's in e2fsprogs - I just need to make it get installed in staging in OE |
