00:26.44beewoolie[g2]-food: It isn't building.
00:26.52beewoolieERROR: Nothing provides unslung-able-image
00:27.03beewoolieERROR: dependency unslung-able-image (for unslung-image) not satisfied
00:27.03beewoolieNOTE: no buildable providers for unslung-image

00:28.26[g2]-foodthat's because you distro is probably openslug
00:28.38[g2]-foodyou should be bitbake openslug-image
00:29.30[g2]-foodbeewoolie, you are trying to build openslug right ?
00:29.44beewoolieI think I got that wrong.  Let me try again.
00:30.49[g2]-food:)
00:44.39[g2]-foodis the NEC supposed to be level or edge triggered ?
00:44.46beewoolieWhat is the fastest, reasonably priced machine we can buy these days?
00:44.58[g2]-foodThis is an interesting post http://lists.arm.linux.org.uk/pipermail/linux-arm-kernel/2004-December/025906.html
00:45.18[g2]-foodbeewoolie, can you be more specific with that question ?
00:45.22beewoolieGood question.  If it were wrong, I think it would have been *way* broken.
00:46.16beewoolieI cannot know how it works without the datasheet.
00:46.33[g2]-foodI think I've got a copy I'll check
00:46.58[g2]-foodwhat kind of machine are you talking about a build machine ?
00:47.08beewoolieYou read my mind.
00:48.19[g2]-foodYou've got less than a 1GB memory right ?
00:48.20[g2]-food:)
00:50.26kas11did anyone come up with a manual for the NEC?  when I looked they wanted people to jump thru hoops
00:50.42[g2]-foodI'll check if I've got one
00:50.53[g2]-foodI think I dl'ed it yesterday or the day before
00:51.52beewoolieShoot me a copy dude.
00:52.05[g2]-foodI've gotta find it
00:52.15[g2]-foodI think I pulled it straight from the web site
00:52.27beewoolieIt didn't let me do so.
00:52.49kas11not being in hoop-jumping mood, I said [insert rude words here]  very much and did something else
00:54.17[g2]-foodwhat's wrong with this link ? http://www.necel.com/usb/ja/dir1/S16265EJ4V0DS00.pdf
00:54.43[g2]-foodit doesn't have a lock on it :)
00:55.38kas11did y'all try changing the latency setting on the ehci-hcd driver?...
00:55.46beewoolieWhile that is, literally, the datasheet.  It doesn't explain the program interface.
00:55.57kas11I was looking for the whole devel manual
00:55.59[g2]-fooda while ago
00:56.40beewooliebuild of openslug took about an hour.
00:56.43kas11agrees with beewoolie...and still objects to hoops
01:00.38beewoolieSo, now that I have built openslug.  Can I use the linksys fw to install it?
01:09.13beewoolie[g2]-food: Are you still eating?
01:09.26[g2]-foodno
01:09.40beewoolieI've got the redboot prompt.
01:09.47beewoolieHow do I put openslug on this thing?
01:11.11[g2]http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/HowTo/RecoverFromABadFlash
01:12.13beewoolieI understand the procedure.  What I don't know is which file I am to use and whether or not I can pull it from the web interface.
01:12.27[g2]Do you have the linksys stock firmware on there ?
01:12.38beewoolieYep.
01:12.46[g2]then just flash upgrade
01:12.52[g2]admin -> upgrade
01:13.09beewoolieThe .img file?
01:13.25[g2]browse and select the tmp/deploy/images/...flash...
01:13.42beewoolie-rw-rw-r--  1 elf elf 8388608 2005-03-07 16:53 openslug-nslu2-20050307233923.flashdisk.img
01:14.16[g2]that's the lastest ? then yes
01:14.44beewoolieThis image is the size of the whole of flash.  Are you sure?
01:20.43beewoolieIt seems to boot faster.  
01:21.45*** join/#openjtag dyoung-web (www-data@netblock-66-159-209-60.dslextreme.com)
01:22.15dyoung-webI have 148 pages of nec users manual...
01:22.21beewoolieHmm.  OK. It's booted.
01:22.30beewoolieDropbear seems to be running.
01:23.28beewoolieShould we be talking about this on the nslu2-linux channel?
01:23.38dyoung-webI dunno?
01:23.53dyoung-webShould I upload S16336E someplace for those interested?
01:24.06beewoolieCan it go on the wiki?
01:24.23kas11I jumped thru hoopw
01:24.55kas11s...waiting for NEC official ok
01:26.14beewoolie[g2]: no vfat filesystem in openslug?
01:26.24[g2]probably not
01:26.39[g2]vfat doesn't support symlinks
01:27.04[g2]fisk and mke2fs are there :)
01:27.07beewoolieAnd your point is?
01:27.18beewoolieFolks are going to have vfat devices.
01:27.20[g2]it's useless for system partitions
01:27.31beewoolieNot for storage, it is isn't.
01:27.40[g2]it's trivial to add
01:27.54beewoolie#modprobe vfat...
01:28.08beewoolieNot as trivial as you think.
01:28.19[g2]we've be working on the boot from ext3 on hd/flash stick and the ehci issue along with a couple dozen others
01:30.18[g2]is on the list http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/OpenSlug/BetaRelease
01:30.27[g2]it's
01:31.22[g2]beewoolie, if we were going to talk about this in another channel #openslug would be the one
01:32.08[g2]kas11, YOUR VERY WELCOME THERE TOO !

02:57.33beewooliedyoung-web: I seem to have wedged my slug.  It isn't bricked because I can get to redboot.  It won't boot tho.
02:57.41beewoolie== Executing boot script in 2.000 seconds - enter ^C to abort
02:57.42beewoolieRedBoot> boot;exec 0x01d00000
02:57.42beewoolienot have eRcOmM

02:57.47beewoolieWhat's the deal?
02:58.01beewoolieIt isn't copying the kernel?
02:59.53beewoolieThere are zeroes at 0x50060000 which is not what I'd expect
03:02.00dyoung-webHave not ercom means redboot cant find the sercomm trailer....
03:04.32beewooliedyoung-web: It looks like the procedure on the web site didn't work.
03:05.02beewoolieMy guess is that the flash wasn't being erased before being written.
03:05.09dyoung-webthe easiest way for you to fix it at this point is to "upslug" it.
03:05.10beewoolieWhen I erased it first, it seems to be OK.
03:05.45dyoung-webControl-C it, "upgrade" it, then "upslug" it.
03:06.13dyoung-webOr yeah you can tftp it and fis write it too.
03:06.32beewoolieDoes the wiki allow for <tt> or <verbatim> tags?
03:07.01beewoolieThe tftp procedure didn't work for me.  I had to erase first.
03:07.09beewoolieIt came back this time.
03:07.48beewoolieI think I'm going to go back to APEX until it is an acceptable replacement for redboot.  The system as is gives me heebeejeebees.
03:28.55dyoung-webI agree.
03:30.57dyoung-webWhen you have time we should poke and push into this NPE initialization thing; and be done with it once and for all.  Then I'll move to apex permanently.
03:33.57beewoolieThat's what I'm going to do next.
03:41.10beewooliedyoung-web: Did you ever get the library to build?
03:41.11dyoung-webI'm more than ready to help you do it.
03:41.29beewoolieMore? than ready.
03:41.30dyoung-webyou know, since I have no fear of breaking it.
03:41.47dyoung-webJust lacking in time.
03:41.47beewooliegive me a minute.  Let me see how far it builds right now.
03:41.50beewoolieI was pretty close.
03:42.01dyoung-webI got close, but I got distracted with a yard.
03:42.48beewoolieIt's furlongs and fortnights that get me most of the time.
03:43.30dyoung-webheh.
03:44.11dyoung-webThe weather has been mostly wet since december, the last 2 weekends were the only nice weekends for a while; my grass got totally out of control.
03:49.39dyoung-webHmm.
03:49.56dyoung-webI gotta get outta here or my a$$ will be grass.
03:50.11beewoolieOK.  I'm just looking at the library now.
03:50.28dyoung-web"Keeping the woman waiting is like asking for death".
03:57.50beewooliedyoung-web: I know what the problem is.  The library assumes that some addresses are statically mapped which are *not* statically mapped anymore.

14:19.03VoodooZ_workthanks.

14:25.48VoodooZ_worknice page.
14:26.36VoodooZ_workDid anybody actually flashed their slug with it yet?
14:27.12prpplaguewith apex?
14:27.25VoodooZ_workI don't care much for all the fluff like splash screen, netconsole, USB this and that. As long as it gives me serial access to command it's good.
14:27.27VoodooZ_workyep.
14:28.05VoodooZ_workIt's a bootloader after all. Not a tool for the average user.
14:28.09prpplagueVoodooZ_work: yea several ppl are testing it
14:28.15VoodooZ_workgood.
14:28.24prpplagueVoodooZ_work: but thats the good thing about apex, you can choose the options you want
14:28.30VoodooZ_workI'd like to try it out but I don't have jtag so I'm a bit paranoid.
14:28.35prpplagueVoodooZ_work: just don't compile in the ones you don't want
14:28.41VoodooZ_workyes! that's a good thing.
14:29.06VoodooZ_workWho's using it to boot openslug right now?
14:29.46prpplaguei could not say with any specifity, seems like it is ka6sox and [g2]
14:30.06VoodooZ_workok.
14:30.42[g2]VoodooZ_work, you can run it from RAM to get familiar with it
14:30.52[g2]I wouldn't flash it just yet
14:30.54VoodooZ_workIf It boots openslug's jffs2 correctly with basic serial I'd try it.
14:31.04VoodooZ_workok.
14:31.21[g2]there are two issues (1 of which you probably don't care about)
14:31.33VoodooZ_work[g2]: would you say it's early alpha or close to beta?
14:31.59[g2]1/ The NPE's aren't initialized so the ixp doesn't come up --- This is the one you probably don't care about
14:32.19[g2]closer to later alpha
14:32.32[g2]2/ From RAM is was getting a checksum issue.
14:32.48VoodooZ_worklooks good then.
14:33.04[g2]I think dyoung/bewoolie is the only one that has it flashed
14:33.22VoodooZ_workI guess I'll have to start monitoring this space more to keep up with the progress.
14:33.29[g2]I shoul be getting FatSlug latter this week and then I'll be able to flash and do more testing
14:33.38VoodooZ_workgood!
14:34.07[g2]and bewoolie has a pretty good idea about the NPE isue
14:34.09[g2]issue
14:34.12VoodooZ_workkeep up the great work [g2]. you rock!
14:34.27VoodooZ_work~praise bewoolie
14:34.31purlAll hail bewoolie!
14:34.31qbotAll Hail bewoolie!
14:34.31[g2]thx, I'm just part of a GREAT community
14:35.31VoodooZ_workWell, if the community is like one of those multi-seat bicycle, you're definitely at the steering end!
14:36.12VoodooZ_workand rwhitby too of course, you guys just share the steering every 8/12 hours! :)
14:36.32[g2]oh there are lots of key contributors
14:36.47[g2]it's really great
14:37.48VoodooZ_workyep. I started here with the goal of equipping my robot with a great CPU and ended up delaying the robot to keep having fun with the board instead!
14:39.51[g2]you'll really be ready for next years competition !
14:41.09VoodooZ_workYeah. I hope so but unfortunately a great CPU doesn't make for a great robot. I should be working on my AI instead but summer is coming so I'll be getting the motorcycle fever soon. :)
14:42.06VoodooZ_workI tried my first machine vision test yesterday on my slug but it looked kind of slow. I'll have to investigate more.
15:00.42[g2]there are only so many things we can help you with :)
