11:00.19lo127how can vmlinux in / be 50mb when the zImage in /arc/powerpc/ is 2.5mb? It can't be just the compression
11:02.05lo127in /arc/powerpc/boot that is
11:34.53lo127anyone? I'm dying here :)
11:45.01mnemoclo127: sit back and relax, america is still sleeping ;-)
11:45.51lo127mnemoc, Can't I just wake America up? ;)
11:47.38mnemocsomehow that sounds political :p
11:49.22lo127:)
11:52.18flybacktoday this arrives http://store.sra-solder.com/product.php?xProd=6267
11:52.46lo127awesome flyback
11:53.15flybackwell for $150 I don't expect awesome
11:53.19flybackbut works I would be happy
11:53.31flybackcompared to use radio shack shit irons and only a heatgun all my life ;)
11:53.50lo127yeh, I know what you mean

11:55.19lo127I need to create an srec kernel image, shall I use /vmlinux for source?
11:55.39flybackno idea sorry
11:56.09lo127still haven't figured out how it can be 20 times bigger then the uImage created at the same compilation
11:56.59mnemocnice compression :p
11:57.27mnemocextract the zImage and compare
11:58.19lo127Yeh, its ridiculous
11:58.27lo127how can I extract it?
12:10.25mnemoc`file` can give you a hint :)
12:13.22lo127zImage: u-boot/PPCBoot image ?

13:27.46wmatlo127: did you get your srec problem sorted?
13:27.59lo127wmat, no, still struggling
13:28.55*** join/#elinux booxter (n=booxter@cpmsq.epam.com)
13:29.06wmatlo127: you use objcopy and the compressed vmlinux image to gereate the srec
13:29.21lo127wmat, I'm now trying "manually" extracting the piggy part of the zImage, decompress it and then create srec of it, probably not the best way :/
13:30.43lo127wmat, I have tried, without success
13:31.04lo127powerpc-linux-gnu-objcopy -O srec zImage zImage.srec; powerpc-linux-gnu-objcopy: zImage: File format not recognized
13:31.08wmatlo127: this may help - http://www.linux-mips.org/wiki/SREC
13:32.37lo127wmat, I have tried forcing --srec-forceS3 as well
13:32.41wmatlo127: I used to do this for SH3 a long time ago with something along the lines of: $sh3eb-unknown-linux-gnu-objcopy -O srec --srec-forceS3 vmlinux srec.out
13:33.19lo127It keeps complaining about not recognizing the zImage source
13:34.16lo127I figured If i extracted the kernel (piggy) from the image and decompressed it, it would end up in something like an elf binary which objcopy would be able to create an srec from
13:34.49lo127but it has proven to be an error prone task
13:35.42lo127wmat, Oh, okey, you made an srec from the elf binary, I would love to do that as well
13:35.54lo127the problem is that my vmlinux file is 52mb :S
13:36.16lo127and removing .notes and .comments with objcopy still makes it 15mb+
13:36.27lo127and my zImage is annoyingly 2.5mb in size
13:38.08mnemocmay it be corrupt?
13:39.11wmatlo127: sorry, i'm out of ideas. I'll look for my notes though and let you know if I find anything out.
13:39.45lo127wmat, okey, thanks a lot
13:40.09lo127Is it normal for the vmlinux file to be 52mb (unmodified)?
