| 01:38:06 | BZFlag | Russ: well "load kernel" works on the vercel, but I get: |
| 01:38:24 | BZFlag | loading kernel from jffs2 ...*** error loading kernel! on boot. |
| 01:38:31 | BZFlag | then I do: |
| 01:38:48 | BZFlag | blob> load kernel |
| 01:38:55 | BZFlag | loading kernel from jffs2 ......loaded 0x0008e570 (583024) bytes |
| 01:38:55 | BZFlag | b1ef56ea351ec2de519410dedce0c7c7 |
| 01:39:00 | BZFlag | and all is well. |
| 01:39:15 | BZFlag | though it's very slow. |

| 05:04:45 | Russ | BZFlag: do you have the instruction cache turned on on the vercel? |
| 05:19:20 | BZFlag | hmm.. don't know for sure. |
| 05:21:56 | Russ | the instruction cache helps *alot* |

| 07:12:33 | mmatten | hmm more pr0n ads ? tsss |
| 08:24:12 | seletz | moin |
| 08:24:16 | seletz | erm |
| 08:24:19 | seletz | morning |
| 09:06:38 | Russ | morning |
| 09:13:24 | seletz | Russ: I want to change dlfile, fwrite, ferase to use the partition code. Any opinions? |
| 09:13:51 | seletz | Russ: messing with addresses gets annoying ... |
| 09:14:09 | Russ | take a quick look at the mtd structs? |
| 09:17:20 | seletz | i menat blob/src/blob/partition.c |
| 09:17:57 | Russ | right, but I like how the mtd structs handle partitioning and erase regions |
| 09:18:12 | seletz | ah |
| 09:18:38 | seletz | so the partition code in blob should be changed/tweaked to mimic the MTD way? |
| 09:18:52 | Russ | naw, never mimic something just to mimic it |
| 09:19:03 | Russ | just look at how something was done before to get good ideas |
| 09:19:21 | seletz | ah, ok. Now i got you :) |
| 09:32:16 | seletz | Russ: would the mini_deflate code work with gzipped date? |
| 09:32:30 | seletz | s/date/data/ |
| 09:32:38 | seletz | needs more coffee |
| 09:32:58 | Russ | seletz: you'd have to read the gzip headers |
| 09:38:58 | seletz | Russ: the kernel_loader interface is quite nice. But why don't you use include/blob/partition.h? I see that your part_info is much simpler. Was that the reason? |
| 09:39:18 | Russ | because include/blob/partition.h didn't exist at the time |
| 09:39:28 | seletz | ah, i see :) |
| 09:39:33 | Russ | its really a place holder for whatever ends up working best |
| 09:39:47 | seletz | hmmm |
| 09:41:30 | seletz | Well, I'm trying to find a sane way to add CF handling. I want to have separated: partition - CF - FS handling - file handling |
| 09:42:14 | Russ | maybe make read functions? |
| 09:42:32 | seletz | so one could just do a "load file zImage" on his arch and that would (in my case) get "zImage" from CF card (FAT FS) |
| 09:42:33 | Russ | and then make the kernel loading stuff use those instead |
| 09:43:08 | seletz | Russ: yes, of course. I have done so in my tar code, which uses generic block readers |
| 09:43:39 | Russ | CF would have a reader, real IDE would have a reader, and NOR flash would have a reader (and possibly NAND in the future) |
| 09:43:45 | seletz | Russ: i will add a lib/cf.c which supplies such a reader. |
| 09:44:08 | Russ | maybe we should make such a reader for NOR flash |
| 09:44:32 | seletz | Russ: those readers would just read raw data. The partition/FS code would use the readers. |
| 09:44:50 | Russ | and standardize the interfaces, and give it a private pointer that the read function (and initial setup function) can store some data in |
| 09:45:37 | seletz | Russ: i did so. Should ethernet use the same readers? Or is it too different? |
| 09:45:46 | seletz | tftp/bootp i mean |
| 09:45:54 | Russ | I'm not sure |
| 09:46:08 | Russ | because you wouldn't pass an offset, you'd pass a file name |
| 09:46:15 | Russ | so it would be more like FS code |
| 09:46:31 | seletz | yup, you're right. |
| 09:47:27 | seletz | ok, so i'll rip out my block reader definition and add a generic_reader.h. I'll also add a memory and CF example. |
| 09:47:43 | Russ | don't forget partitioning |
| 09:47:48 | Russ | but you can start without it |
| 09:48:23 | seletz | yup. What partition code to use? The new one from erik? |
| 09:48:31 | Russ | I don't know much about the partition code |
| 09:48:46 | seletz | ok, we'll see. |
| 09:49:12 | seletz | Russ: thank you :) |
| 18:57:30 | seletz | bye folks |
| 18:57:33 | seletz | see ya |
| 20:04:33 | prpplague | howdy howdy |
| 23:46:07 | BZFlag | parse_command("load kernel") works on boot, but do_reload("kernel") does not! what's up with that? |
