01:38:06BZFlagRuss: well "load kernel" works on the vercel, but I get:
01:38:24BZFlagloading kernel from jffs2 ...*** error loading kernel!  on boot.
01:38:31BZFlagthen I do:
01:38:48BZFlagblob> load kernel
01:38:55BZFlagloading kernel from jffs2 ......loaded 0x0008e570 (583024) bytes
01:38:55BZFlagb1ef56ea351ec2de519410dedce0c7c7                                
01:39:00BZFlagand all is well.
01:39:15BZFlagthough it's very slow.

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

08:24:19seletzmorning
09:06:38Russmorning
09:13:24seletzRuss: I want to change dlfile, fwrite, ferase to use the partition code. Any opinions?
09:13:51seletzRuss: messing with addresses gets annoying ...
09:14:09Russtake a quick look at the mtd structs?
09:17:20seletzi menat blob/src/blob/partition.c
09:17:57Russright, but I like how the mtd structs handle partitioning and erase regions
09:18:12seletzah
09:18:38seletzso the partition code in blob should be changed/tweaked to mimic the MTD way?
09:18:52Russnaw, never mimic something just to mimic it
09:19:03Russjust look at how something was done before to get good ideas
09:19:21seletzah, ok. Now i got you :)
09:32:16seletzRuss: would the mini_deflate code work with gzipped date?
09:32:30seletzs/date/data/
09:32:38seletzneeds more coffee
09:32:58Russseletz: you'd have to read the gzip headers
09:38:58seletzRuss: 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?
09:39:18Russbecause include/blob/partition.h didn't exist at the time
09:39:28seletzah, i see :)
09:39:33Russits really a place holder for whatever ends up working best
09:39:47seletzhmmm
09:41:30seletzWell, I'm trying to find a sane way to add CF handling. I want to have separated: partition - CF - FS handling - file handling
09:42:14Russmaybe make read functions?
09:42:32seletzso one could just do a "load file zImage" on his arch and that would (in my case) get "zImage" from CF card (FAT FS)
09:42:33Russand then make the kernel loading stuff use those instead
09:43:08seletzRuss: yes, of course. I have done so in my tar code, which uses generic block readers
09:43:39RussCF would have a reader, real IDE would have a reader, and NOR flash would have a reader (and possibly NAND in the future)
09:43:45seletzRuss: i will add a lib/cf.c which supplies such a reader.
09:44:08Russmaybe we should make such a reader for NOR flash
09:44:32seletzRuss: those readers would just read raw data. The partition/FS code would use the readers.
09:44:50Russand standardize the interfaces, and give it a private pointer that the read function (and initial setup function) can store some data in
09:45:37seletzRuss: i did so. Should ethernet use the same readers? Or is it too different?
09:45:46seletztftp/bootp i mean
09:45:54RussI'm not sure
09:46:08Russbecause you wouldn't pass an offset, you'd pass a file name
09:46:15Russso it would be more like FS code
09:46:31seletzyup, you're right.
09:47:27seletzok, so i'll rip out my block reader definition and add a generic_reader.h. I'll also add a memory and CF example.
09:47:43Russdon't forget partitioning
09:47:48Russbut you can start without it
09:48:23seletzyup. What partition code to use? The new one from erik?
09:48:31RussI don't know much about the partition code
09:48:46seletzok, we'll see.
09:49:12seletzRuss: thank you :)
18:57:30seletzbye folks
18:57:33seletzsee ya
20:04:33prpplaguehowdy howdy
23:46:07BZFlagparse_command("load kernel")  works on boot, but do_reload("kernel") does not! what's up with that?
