| 12:58:31 | erikm | re |
| 12:59:38 | prpplague | morning |
| 13:00:07 | prpplague | hehe, got a chance to read the bootldr_prase flame war lastnigh |
| 13:00:08 | prpplague | t |
| 13:00:24 | erikm | hello prpplague |
| 13:02:06 | prpplague | erikm: really like one of your post about "why should we burden the kernel to fix one hardware short falls" |
| 13:03:45 | erikm | prpplague: that one was a bit provocative, but IMHO hardware designers should *think* and talk before the software guys design something |
| 13:04:03 | prpplague | exactly |
| 13:04:38 | erikm | prpplague: I have to admit my situation with LART was ideal: jdb is a hardware designer with software experience, and I am a software guy with hardware experience |
| 13:05:18 | prpplague | erikm: hmm, i think you call that "team planning" ?? |
| 13:05:24 | erikm | prpplague: though I haven't had a formal software training |
| 13:06:04 | erikm | prpplague: I think so. I think jdb and I make a good design team. |
| 13:17:16 | prpplague | erikm: my point is hardware and software design should be thought out together, too many times the hardware is left on its own and does what it thinks is an easy route, only to make the software side pay the price with tons of fixup code |
| 17:29:51 | sammy_wms | ho ho I am back... |
| 17:30:13 | sammy_wms | but the screen still have some problem, |
| 17:31:02 | sammy_wms | wait moment. |
| 18:12:24 | sammy_wms | BZFlag: about that no sence jffs2 image, I find out something strange ,do you know why I use /sbin/init but kernel panic ? |
| 18:13:07 | sammy_wms | because in /sbin dir inside there doesn't had any init file in it , |
| 18:13:45 | sammy_wms | but I am sure that I have that file in my source dir , why ? |
| 18:15:00 | sammy_wms | How I know that ? because I copy init file from /sbin to /bin then let the linuxrc to read the file in /bin so it can boot to login , |
| 18:15:52 | sammy_wms | then after login , I find out there had the dir name /sbin , but there is nothing inside , why ? |
| 18:16:12 | sammy_wms | is that because the jffs2 image file bigger then 12MB ? |
| 18:18:53 | sammy_wms | erikm: I also find out something strange in flash ramdisk, no matter how big jffs2 image file I use to downlaod , then when it download into flash , the last address always is 0x0058000 , is this currect ? |
| 18:24:21 | erikm | there are currently some limitations in the size of the jffs2 image you can download |
| 18:25:53 | sammy_wms | erikm: how big ? |
| 18:26:47 | erikm | dunno exactly. it's determined by the size of the jffs2 partition in flash |
| 18:29:35 | sammy_wms | but I have 32MB - 1MB(kernel) - 256 kB(blob param) -256kB(blob) to give the jffs2 partition :o |
| 18:30:20 | sammy_wms | so normally , it's must _can_ download currect all image file ,right ? |
| 18:32:03 | erikm | sorry, -EPARSE |
| 18:44:03 | BZFlag | sammy_wms: it could be that your image is getting chopped off, yes. |
| 18:44:27 | BZFlag | are you sure you have enough memory set aside in blob to cache the image when you download it? |
| 18:44:39 | BZFlag | ie: the download size is reported correctly? |
| 18:47:01 | sammy_wms | BZFlag: so that's maybe blob doesn't download currectlly all the image file into ram ? |
| 18:48:28 | sammy_wms | BZFlag: because I am sure I have enough memory |
| 18:51:38 | sammy_wms | but ... |
| 18:52:32 | BZFlag | I'm asking. |
| 18:53:04 | BZFlag | I suspect that it might not have enough memory configured to hold the image before flashing. |
| 19:00:02 | sammy_wms | Amm... |
| 19:01:08 | sammy_wms | BZFlag: I'll test it more times to get some point , checking is that the problem like you say , |
| 19:03:16 | sammy_wms | but the 12MB image file is such a little big , it's take me more time to wait it download... |
| 19:06:35 | BZFlag | yep, I understand. |
| 19:06:48 | BZFlag | we need to get that tftp ethernet code in there. ;-) |
| 19:07:07 | erikm | reminds rmk again |
| 19:08:07 | BZFlag | sammy_wms: 0x0058000 == 360448 which is far too small. |
| 19:09:18 | BZFlag | you should see numbers like 0xFE0000 as the last block if it ends near the end of your 16M of flash |
| 19:09:59 | BZFlag | erikm: is anyone running blob on 16M flash systems? I will be soon perhaps by monday on this new project I'm working on. UD1 |
| 19:11:06 | erikm | BZFlag: ipaq does |
| 19:12:21 | BZFlag | is it working now? |
| 19:12:36 | erikm | BZFlag: I need to run over the ipaq memory before I flash it at 0x00000000 |
| 19:12:44 | erikm | BZFlag: I currently chain boot it from bootldr |
| 19:13:11 | BZFlag | cool. please mail the list when you have a working one! I'd love to get it on one of my ipaqs |
| 19:14:14 | sammy_wms | me too. |
| 19:15:27 | sammy_wms | erikm: I buy that only cost $289 one two day's before ... |
| 19:16:11 | sammy_wms | so this ipaq will be follow your step. |
| 19:18:13 | sammy_wms | BZFlag: I'll check it more, and the other thing's is because this fs can run on my friend's ipaq with bootldr, |
| 19:18:55 | sammy_wms | so I am sure this rootfs is ok, maybe is my problem... |
| 19:30:06 | sammy_wms | last one , is this command right ? " ldconfig -r /<directory> " |
| 19:30:36 | sammy_wms | to do ldconfig on my rootfs directory ? |
| 19:32:00 | erikm | that should do the trick |
| 19:34:26 | sammy_wms | is that need any other optiin ? |
| 19:36:06 | erikm | not that I know |
| 20:13:09 | sammy_wms | night all... |
| 20:13:27 | sammy_wms | z.z.Z.z.z |
| 22:45:32 | erikm | goes zzz |
