| 00:17.20 | [g2] | beewoolie, well, there's a minipci header on the 42 |
| 00:17.35 | beewoolie | More soldering for you. |
| 00:17.40 | [g2] | I think one could solder on a header and then there are converters |
| 00:17.50 | beewoolie | Indeed. |
| 00:17.59 | [g2] | like minipci to regular pci and you could plug in any 3.3 pci card |
| 00:18.46 | [g2] | I don't know how hard it is to solder on the header, but it's at a clean clear spot |
| 00:18.46 | beewoolie | I was mainly comenting on the fact that there is a test for APEX. |
| 00:18.47 | beewoolie | In this case, network connectivity is the important part. |
| 00:19.02 | beewoolie | It may be a job for solder paste. |
| 00:20.45 | [g2] | hey Tiersten how hard is it to solder on a minipci header to something that's a do not install ? |
| 00:43.17 | dyoung | [g2] hows serial? |
| 00:43.36 | [g2] | serial is so-so, I got side tracked |
| 00:43.37 | dyoung | [g2] poke arond on the candidate connector and look for the +3.3V |
| 00:43.51 | [g2] | I did I've got VCC and GND all checked out |
| 00:44.09 | [g2] | things seemed to be working a little but I think it was noise |
| 00:44.18 | dyoung | in addition the the vcc, there should be another o ne +3.3V or so. |
| 00:44.34 | [g2] | I saw two 3.3 |
| 00:44.42 | dyoung | Cool, youre set. |
| 00:45.02 | [g2] | not yet.... for serial, but there are two network backdoors |
| 00:45.08 | [g2] | 1 to the bootloader |
| 00:45.19 | [g2] | 1 to an app which leads to a shell |
| 00:45.39 | [g2] | So I had switchbox 4.11 executing in a chroot last nihgt |
| 00:45.43 | dyoung | oh weird. so you like telnet revvie (someport) to start something? |
| 00:46.18 | [g2] | if you setup ther arp addr statically, you can just telnet 192.168.1.1 and power on the box |
| 00:46.30 | [g2] | you'll connect right into the boot loader |
| 00:46.52 | dyoung | cool. |
| 00:46.52 | [g2] | one can tftp an image and reflash from there |
| 00:47.19 | [g2] | I was poking around a little in there, then I opened up the backdoor telnet |
| 00:47.36 | [g2] | that gets you in to the same app, but there a shell command |
| 00:47.50 | [g2] | that gets you to busybox v0.50 shell :) |
| 00:48.01 | dyoung | whoa, thats pretty.... uh... Antiquated. |
| 00:48.09 | [g2] | I've been in on both the 042 and 082 |
| 00:48.16 | [g2] | the 082 is a 533 Mhz BTW |
| 00:48.20 | dyoung | are they both the 533? |
| 00:48.24 | [g2] | and 16MB flash |
| 00:48.33 | [g2] | nope the 042 is 266 @ 8MB flash |
| 00:48.58 | [g2] | both have 32MB, but the 082 has pads laid out but no itstall |
| 00:49.04 | [g2] | install |
| 00:49.08 | dyoung | so the 082 might make a nice native compile mafchine for ixp's. |
| 00:49.26 | dyoung | through nfs or something. |
| 00:49.37 | [g2] | nod |
| 00:49.47 | [g2] | have you ever used nbd ? |
| 00:49.51 | dyoung | whats it cost? $300? |
| 00:50.03 | [g2] | iirc $266 ? |
| 00:50.05 | dyoung | I was waiting for nbd to mature more. |
| 00:50.31 | dyoung | I had most of it working on a nslu2 at one point.... |
| 00:50.39 | dyoung | but something wasnt quite right. |
| 00:50.47 | dyoung | and you cant swap usinb nbd |
| 00:51.19 | jacques | what's this 082 thingie? sounds interesting |
| 00:51.24 | [g2] | that's what I needed to do |
| 00:51.56 | [g2] | I was trying to mount a swap partition with the avila since I was chrooted into a nfs partition on the Gigabit |
| 00:53.57 | dyoung | It may be resolved by now. |
| 00:54.06 | dyoung | linksys Rv082 |
| 00:54.24 | dyoung | Revvie. OpenRV. |
| 00:54.32 | dyoung | it's a flowing name. |
| 00:55.19 | jacques | cool, I just found it on the linksys site |
| 00:55.33 | jacques | looking at the gpl page I see several tarballs for models I don |
| 00:55.39 | jacques | 't recognize |
| 00:55.41 | dyoung | btw, the NBD page says youre supposed to be able to swap; but I was having issues... |
| 00:55.58 | jacques | yeah I thought nbd was supposed to be better for swap than nfs |
| 00:56.29 | dyoung | I spent < 2hrs looking at it, and the possibility that I wasnt licking it right is high. |
| 00:57.51 | jacques | anyone else think linksys' site sucks ass? |
| 00:59.32 | jacques | ig you search on a model number it doesn't even find the product |
| 01:06.46 | jacques | interesting, I wonder why a wireless range expander needs to run linux |
| 01:06.53 | jacques | must be more cmplex than I thought |
| 01:21.24 | dyoung | it didnt cost anyone to develop the software? |
| 01:21.39 | dyoung | I'm assuming its doing some sort of WDS. |

| 18:31.50 | beewoolie | [g2]: I've got most of the kinks out. |
| 18:31.55 | beewoolie | [g2]: Bodes well. |

| 18:40.39 | [g2] | godspeed my friend :) Sooner you finish, sooner we can straighent out the irq handler issue :) |
| 19:47.28 | beewoolie | [g2]: hells yeah |
| 19:54.39 | jacques | damn, it seems that with every new release of crosstool, fewer toolchains build |
| 19:54.47 | jacques | look at this: http://kegel.com/crosstool/crosstool-0.32/buildlogs/ |
| 20:37.04 | *** join/#openjtag Tiersten (~tman@Tiersten.nslu2-linux) |
| 21:57.24 | beewoolie | jacques: I'm a few rev's back. |
| 21:59.11 | beewoolie | Still, looks interesting. I haven't tried to upgrade toolchains in a few months. It's encouraging that 4.0 is going through the paces. |
| 22:03.19 | jacques | yeah I've been trying to build an armeb softfloat gcc4.0 toolchain but have not yet succeeded |
