04:12.42filepong
04:13.23prpplaguethis is from emsoft about their sd and nand flash driver
04:13.25prpplague1) The nand flash (matrix), and sd driver were not included with the
04:13.25prpplagueoriginal uclinux distribution. They are proprietary source code
04:13.25prpplaguedeveloped entirely by EmSoft, written from scratch, and therefore do
04:13.25prpplaguenot bind to the GPL license. Please let me know if you wish to
04:13.25prpplagueuse them, as I may provide the driver binaries to you as kernel
04:13.26prpplagueloadable modules.
04:13.52prpplagueproblem is that the firmware does load them as modules
04:13.59prpplaguedoesn't

04:39.01jcathhi, anyone has experience with TinyX here?
04:39.17prpplaguejcath: yea, lots, but most ppl are asleep
04:39.51kergothi'm awake, but not in a particularly helpful mood
04:39.53kergothheh.
04:40.26jcathoh, I compiled TinyX from Xfree86 4.4 yesteray, Xvesa and Xfbdev, But when I change the virtual terminal, it halt the system .. :(
04:40.41prpplaguekergoth: hehe
04:40.49jcathmy hardware is via km133a with s3 savage built-in
04:41.01prpplaguekergoth: lordy, i have no idea how to handle this emsoft gpl issue
04:41.05kergothheh
04:41.07kergothugly
04:41.19kergothsounds like it may be time to take legal recourse
04:41.31prpplagueyea
04:41.35kergothprpplague: donna and the kids took off for barbados eh?
04:41.46kergothwhen do you leave?
04:42.10prpplaguekergoth: yea
04:42.19prpplaguekergoth: probably around the 1st of april
04:43.45kergothyou tell work yet?
04:43.56prpplagueno not yet
04:43.59prpplaguestill dreading it
04:44.06jcathanyone got the same problem?
04:44.14prpplaguebeen fighting depression over it all day
04:44.59kergothprpplague: heh. you care too much
04:45.07prpplagueyea i know
04:45.09kergothquick, be more selfish
04:45.59T0mWjcath: it didn't work that way on ARM processors...  What's a KM133A ?
04:46.30jcathfor amd athlon chipset
04:46.51prpplagueandersee: i'd like to get your $.02 on this if you get around to it
04:46.58kergothheh, to be pedantic, there is no "tinyx"
04:47.11prpplaguek-drive
04:47.26T0mWjcath: oh, I wouldn't know about that then, this is primarily an embedded linux channel, not much general linux stuff is done here.
04:47.28prpplaguealong with several other small x
04:48.16T0mWjcath: tinyX is primarily for embedded systems.
04:48.54T0mW~lart prpplague for missing Donna
04:49.25T0mWwow that certainly was appropriate, eh?
04:49.37jcathyes, my target is an embedded board with C3...
04:50.33T0mWjcath: so, all you do is invoke tinyX and it stops dead? No panic, no messages of any kind?
04:50.46jcathyes, T0mW
04:51.06kergothwhich vt are you switching to?  and via what means?  you arent using 'chvt' to switch to a vt that has nothing running on it, and assuming its dead, are you? :P
04:51.07jcathwhen I change to another virtual terminal and back, it halt
04:51.10T0mWjcath: are you sure it is dead?  Did you try pinging the board to see if anything is alive?
04:51.11kergothah
04:51.29prpplagueT0mW: gee thanks
04:51.30jcathAlt+F? to change the terminal
04:51.32kergothcould be a driver problem
04:51.35T0mWprpplague: np
04:52.04jcathI think maybe the problem of the km133a chipset
04:52.24T0mWprpplague: Dave, you could always go girl-watching and then when you see Donna again, you can attack her with some buildup meaning.. ;)
04:54.25prpplaguehehe
04:55.53T0mWjcath: I dunno, I find X a scary mess to untangle.
04:56.05T0mWbig freakin' mess
04:56.10jcath?
04:56.41T0mWjcath: just that video switching problem.  I just wanted say that I don't that much about tinyX.
04:56.57T0mWs/much/know much/
04:57.40T0mWprpplague: this MunchiesLinux is finally into the tweaking stages: patch file for this that and the other.
04:59.13jcathso, T0mW, would you like to suggest another GUI for embedded linux to run tranditional X application on it?
05:03.54T0mWuhh, lets see
05:04.01T0mW~matchbox
05:04.02iboti heard matchbox is a X11 window manager for handheld devices. Info, screenshots & downloadable at http://handhelds.org/~mallum/matchbox . Ipkg is in the familiar unstable feed. Development versions and other goodies at http://handhelds.org/~mallum/downloadables/
05:04.11T0mW~nano-X
05:04.12ibotTiny X replacement for Linux based palmtops and POS units. URL: http://www.linuxhacker.org/nanogui/
05:04.20T0mW~pico-gui
05:04.26T0mW~picogui
05:04.27ibotrumour has it, picogui is an small and scalable embedded GUI. More info in the #picogui channel or at http://picogui.org. Read the FAQ or not pico gui or pico-gui or even cooler than sliced cheese or see "picogui faq"
05:05.20T0mWI'm not sure about any of them as to the support for remote sessions etc, matchbox might be one of the more advanced windowing platforms.
05:05.24T0mW~pixel
05:05.25ibotmethinks pixel is The smallest dot that a computer can display at a particular resolution. Screen size is often referred to in pixels: 800 x 600, for example. This means that the screen is 800 pixels across and 600 pixels vertically.
05:05.35T0mW~pixil
05:05.36ibotit has been said that pixil is http://www.pixil.org or http://pixdev.sourceforge.net
05:06.09kergothpicogui is dead.  pixil isnt much more active.
05:06.17T0mWmica gave up, huh?
05:06.18kergothmatchbox is just a wm, he'd still need his X server
05:06.20kergothyep
05:06.29T0mWwhat about pixil?
05:06.33jcathok, thnkx
05:06.38kergothtalk to CP about that
05:06.59T0mWCP is away, must be spending time with his wife.  Imagine that...
05:07.12kergothsilly people and their 'lives'
05:07.59T0mWI thought that CP was doing ongoing work with that pixil?
05:08.16T0mWoh well, silly me
05:15.46T0mWnow that makes a lot of sense: serial ATA 10K RPM drives, yeah
05:16.49T0mWlike the serial ATA driver barely works...
05:17.03T0mWkergoth: :)
05:17.39T0mWkergoth: I haven't had much luck with scsi, kept buring drives out.
05:17.46T0mWs/buring/burning/
05:18.03kergoththats odd.  scsi drives generally have to go through more difficult testing for mtbf and the like
05:18.25T0mWyeah, they were IBM drives too.  Well, I ragged about that a while ago.
05:18.37kergothi love ide for things i dont particularly care about reliability on, or am willing to just keep replacing drives when they go
05:18.40kergothheh
05:18.54kergothugh, ibm drives. blech
05:18.56T0mWIDE has been so much more reliable for me, for some reason.
05:18.58kergothi've never had one last
05:19.07T0mWkergoth: oh, you too huh?
05:19.20kergothhad a couple of those infamous 60gb ones that went around
05:19.22T0mWkergoth: what do you use? seagate?
05:19.37T0mWkergoth: mine were 18G
05:19.38kergothit varies. for my scsi drives, its generally seagate, yeah
05:19.50T0mWkergoth: anyone else has a good name?
05:20.03T0mWfujitsu?
05:20.11kergothfor ide, dont really know.  guess i should pay more attention so i stop losing data :)
05:20.15T0mWscsi
05:20.15kergothmy last 200gb drive i bought
05:20.18kergothwent bad within 3 months
05:20.24T0mWoooo!
05:20.34T0mWanother winner!
05:20.38kergothhehe
05:20.41T0mWheh
05:20.54T0mWyeah, must be that dry air or something
05:21.17kergothhmm, scsi brands, not sure, i havent really kept up with whats going on in anything but embedded in a few years ago
05:21.21kergother
05:21.21kergoths/ago$/now/
05:21.29T0mWme neither
05:21.47T0mWkergoth: face it, we've become specialized
05:22.06T0mWidiot-savants
05:22.26kergothif being specialized means i dont have to deal with the crap in x86, then hell yes, and proud of it
05:22.29kergoth:)
05:23.30T0mWI don't even know what it is that I specialize in, I just do stuff and cannot answer questions bout other stuff.
05:24.07T0mWusually the other stuff is the stuff that people are paying big-bucks for people to work on it... :(

15:25.04prpplagueCosmicPenguin: emsoft is claiming their mmc/sd card driver is proprietary and isn't releasing the code
15:25.28CosmicPenguinprpplague: I saw that.   You expected that, right?
15:25.35prpplagueCosmicPenguin: sorta
15:25.44prpplagueCosmicPenguin: but the issue is that its a monolithic kernel
15:26.00CosmicPenguinIt is?
15:26.19CosmicPenguinhah - somebody dropped the ball on that one
15:26.40CosmicPenguinDuh, of course its a monolotic kernel
15:28.04sjhillprpplague: i though mmc/sd cards were already supported in linux?
15:28.38prpplaguesjhill: they are, and its relatively easy to write a driver for one
15:28.52prpplaguesjhill: problem is they have done some special hardware for the device
15:29.16prpplaguesjhill: used some of the gpio's to turn on and off the external connector

16:25.06kergothmorning
16:25.38prpplagueandersee: this is a portion of what emsoft sent me
16:25.39prpplague1) The nand flash (matrix), and sd driver were not included with the
16:25.39prpplagueoriginal uclinux distribution. They are proprietary source code
16:25.39prpplaguedeveloped entirely by EmSoft, written from scratch, and therefore do
16:25.39prpplaguenot bind to the GPL license. Please let me know if you wish to
16:25.39prpplagueuse them, as I may provide the driver binaries to you as kernel
16:25.41prpplagueloadable modules.
16:25.42filehrm
16:26.13anderseeprpplague: so they are loadable kernel modules, or compiled in?
16:26.19CosmicPenguinfile: If I get some down time, I'll try to put * into OE, so I can get a Geode linux image up
16:26.20prpplagueandersee: the thing is, that aren't distributing them as modules
16:26.22CosmicPenguinheh
16:26.29prpplagueandersee: compilied in on the actual dist
16:26.42anderseeprpplague: heh.  I think their pooch just got screwed

17:25.16[sorphin]well
17:26.04kergothprpplague: only very, very, very carefully.
17:26.09kergothyou can strip out the debug information only
17:26.16kergoththere are some symbols that are required to function
17:26.26[sorphin]ya
17:26.30kergothsomeone online has an awk script that strips everything but whats required for the module interface, if you want to dig it up
17:26.36kergoth(though i dont know if thats 2.4 only)
17:26.50kergothin oe, we just strip the debug info out, thats the biggest bang for the buck

22:33.50hardwireheh
22:33.50hardwireany good suggestion other than using a different OS for retaining the root filesystem
22:33.51CosmicPenguin?
22:33.52hardwireI suppose I could never mount rw until I need to make a change
22:33.57hardwireand throw /var/log/ into a tmpfs
22:34.09prpplague?
22:34.11CosmicPenguinI run my of my images as readonly
22:34.17hardwirewhat fs?
22:34.19CosmicPenguinlets try that a again
22:34.24hardwireI need to be able to power these mofos down
22:34.25CosmicPenguinI run my of my image as readonly
22:34.39hardwirethat makes 0 sense.
22:34.47CosmicPenguinDammit
22:34.49hardwireyou run many of your images as readonly?
22:34.52CosmicPenguinWhat the hell is wrong with my
22:34.55prpplaguehehe
22:34.57CosmicPenguinI swear to god
22:35.03hardwireI am so goddamn lost
22:35.09CosmicPenguinOk, lets start over
22:35.15hardwirego right ahead.
22:35.19CosmicPenguinAlmost all of my Geode images are read-only root filesystems
22:35.25hardwireext2?
22:35.33CosmicPenguincramfs, and more recently squashfs
22:35.39hardwirehmm
22:35.59fileCosmicPenguin is the master
22:36.05hardwireI could probably partition this in a way that will work for me
22:36.10hardwirefor r&d sake
22:36.17hardwiresince I haven't buttoned down an image yet.
22:36.31CosmicPenguinif you really need persistant storage, then unionfs is your friend
22:36.36hardwirebut I would need a small linux partition for loading the images.
22:36.45hardwireI don't
22:36.48hardwirebut that sounds fun
22:37.15hardwirewhats unionfs?
22:37.25CosmicPenguinI use syslinux to load the kernel actually - its quick and painless, and you don't need the physicla media to make the image
22:37.29hardwireand how does that effect the cotext at hand
22:37.34CosmicPenguinibot: unionfs?
22:37.35ibot[unionfs] a stackable unification filesystem.  See http://www.fsl.cs.sunysb.edu/project-unionfs.html for details.
22:37.40hardwireyeh I am there
22:37.48hardwirejust wondering how it pertains to what I am asking :)
22:37.54CosmicPenguinwhich is?
22:37.55hardwireor if you felt there needs to be an upsale in the channel
22:38.14hardwirehow would unionfs help what I am doing? :)
22:38.44CosmicPenguinunionfs would let you maintain your read-only filesystem, but store modifications to the file-system elsewhere
22:38.50hardwireand doesn't linux have support for layered block devices now?
22:38.53hardwirethat would be neat.
22:39.09hardwireCosmicPenguin: gotcha
22:39.11CosmicPenguinI used to make a tmpfs, copy over a directory (say /etc), and then bind mount the temporary directory onto /etc
22:39.22prpplaguesomeone has got a case of the monnnnndays
22:39.26hardwirethats what I was thinking needs to be done
22:39.33hardwirehow do we ban him?
22:39.36CosmicPenguinNow, I just use unionfs, and I can skip the copy step
22:39.46hardwirefor /
22:40.08hardwirehmm
22:40.12CosmicPenguinActually, I'm trying really hard to re-enforce to everybody the concept of a read only filesystem
22:40.16hardwireI have 512 megs here
22:40.25hardwireI would think I could just.. you know.. mount it ro
22:40.26CosmicPenguinso I mount the directories piecemeal
22:40.31hardwireand then power offs would work just fine
22:40.38CosmicPenguinyeah - you would be fine
22:40.41prpplagueCosmicPenguin: you know i'm a ro advocate
22:40.41hardwireok
22:40.49hardwirejust I have to recreate tmpfs for /tmp and /var/log/
22:40.54CosmicPenguinprpplague: oh, I know... :)
22:40.55hardwireand probably use metalog
22:41.11hardwirefuck metalog
22:41.16CosmicPenguinuse busybox logging
22:41.18hardwirejust syslogd w/ remote host
22:41.22hardwirebusybox logging?
22:41.29CosmicPenguinbusybox has a syslogd replacement
22:41.37filebusybox has lots of stuff
22:41.41fileit's sexy!
22:41.42hardwireis it special?
22:41.48CosmicPenguinits lightweight
22:42.20CosmicPenguinAll this reinforces that I need to get permission to start pushing up more geode stuff to OE
22:42.44hardwireheh
22:42.50hardwireit owuld be neat to use OE for this project
22:42.54CosmicPenguinhardwire: question for you - any gotchas building * for Geode?

22:44.31fileha qemu... that would be interesting
22:44.47hardwireand then move the disk image over to the flash for the SBC
22:45.06CosmicPenguinfile: all you're probably really missing from OE is the kernel
22:45.30CosmicPenguinfile: I'll try to push up a kernel target sometime this week
22:45.32fileI should get up and install sshd on my workstation
22:45.38fileand muck with OE

22:48.26hardwireI used the debian binaries
22:48.31filemmy workstation needs more RAM
22:48.32hardwireCosmicPenguin: what kernel patch are you using
22:48.34hardwireI found a kick ass one
22:48.46hardwirefor 2.6.8 for enabling most everything on sc1100
22:48.57hardwirehowever it also decided to inline madwifi and hostap into the kernel
22:49.06hardwirethe wd1100 is my saving grace
22:49.13CosmicPenguinhardwire: most of that sc1100/sc1200 stuff in the mainline kernel is pretty good
22:49.18hardwireI need to actually create an "off" button from the PoE injector
22:49.25CosmicPenguinThe kernel patch on the AMD website only adds the TSC fix, irrc
22:49.28hardwireCosmicPenguin: yeh.. just lacks watchdog support
22:49.37hardwireand shit for GPIO
22:49.41hardwireI never use it anyways
22:49.45CosmicPenguinthe baseline kernel has GPIO stuff
