12:34.54dcordes_Is there a way to boot a filesystem as ramdisk which is not gzipped? I think there are problems extracting the beasts on kaiser.
12:44.32*** join/#htc-linux goxboxlive (n=goxboxli@208.84-48-176.nextgentel.com)
12:47.18martin__dcordes_: have you tried just using the ungzipped version?
12:48.13dcordes_martin__: no
12:48.34dcordes_should this work?
12:49.15martin__it might
12:49.29martin__i'm pretty sure you used to be able to use an uncompressed initrd
12:49.34martin__in ancient kernels
12:49.52martin__and i don't remember ever having to pass an argument telling it what the format was
12:49.57martin__so it may just look for magic numbers
12:50.03dcordes_ok
12:50.08dcordes_trying
12:50.16dcordes_did you look into the AT any further?
12:51.07martin__i poked at it a bit
12:51.19martin__hopefully will have some more time for it at the weekend
12:51.38dcordes_k
12:51.43martin__you wanna swap, and you have a go at the serial stuff?
12:53.07*** join/#htc-linux infernixx (i=nix@unaffiliated/infernix)
12:53.25dcordes_of course if you give me a clue on where to start.. btw just poke or email whenever you need to try and boot something
12:53.38dcordes_with the console image it works pretty reliable one my phone/rom
12:54.05martin__It works reliably for me when I first reset, and then start it over haretconsole.
12:54.23martin__for some reason hitting the run button on the device seems flaky
12:54.39martin__maybe something about touchscreen activity confusing it
12:54.47martin__although it seemed the same using the keyboard
12:54.55martin__so perhaps having the net activity helps somehow
12:54.57martin__who knows
12:55.05martin__or i'm just imagining it
12:55.29martin__dcordes_: emailing you my current serial work.
12:56.33dcordes_ok thanks
12:56.58dcordes_maybe booting the filesystem from sd will work better
12:57.12dcordes_we should probably consider attacking sdcc
12:57.57dcordes_AstainZZZZZZ: can you help me flashing a rom to kaiser?
13:14.45martin__dcordes_: sent
13:17.56dcordes_ok will try that
13:18.14dcordes_with the delay. did you diff against current head?
13:24.10martin__no, i took that diff before i repulled.
13:24.18martin__i'd screwed up my repo somehow
13:24.43martin__most of that patch should be totally irrelevant anyway
13:25.13martin__just uncomment the msm_serial0_device line in board-htckaiser.c
13:25.21martin__add the printks to msm_serial.c
13:25.34martin__and boot with debug_initcalls
13:25.42martin__should have the same effect
13:26.46martin__but since it seems like it's a timing thing i thought i'd better give you the lot
13:30.14dcordes_yea
13:30.42dcordes_did you consider it being a problem with registers not set correctly for the UART?
13:31.16martin__could well be
13:31.39martin__seemed like the best step was to work out where it actually hung though
13:32.20dcordes_maybe it won't hang at all if we try and set the correct registers. Do you know where to set them?
13:32.44martin__well in theory the msm_serial code should take care of all that
13:39.52martin__dcordes_: I guess this comes down to a MSM7200/MSM7200A difference
13:40.14martin__since this is all internal to the chip, and the code works on the halibut.
13:40.43dcordes_martin__: yea that's why I say let's change some regs
13:40.57dcordes_I will compare memory map with the serial code
13:48.45martin__my concern is that the actual settings in the registers may be different
13:48.52martin__rather than the registers just being moved
13:49.13martin__if so, we have some nasty rev eng ahead
13:53.39*** join/#htc-linux gundam (n=gundam@slackware.it/staff/gundam)
14:04.02dcordes_martin__: what do you mean, settings?
14:06.12dcordes_martin__: comes to mind that msm_serial should work just perfectly: It is used by the smd-kaiser.c code afaik and since we have at send working it should be ok
14:06.31dcordes_maybe that's not the case and send doesn't work because of problems with the serial code
14:07.23dcordes_I hope marbalon will be able to help with smd. He will probably join in the fun on monday

14:37.49AstainZZZZZZdcordes:  you still need help flashing rom?
14:45.16martin__dcordes_: I meant if there were register bits used to control the uart
14:45.57martin__hmm. would be neat if we fixed the smd and serial stuff with one change.
14:47.16martin__dcordes_: the stuff in msm_serial.h is known good for MSM7200A but we don't know if it's right for MSM7200.
14:57.12AstainHellbringdcordes_:  you still need help flashing rom?

15:39.56AstainHellbringI'm running the leaked att rom and if I do a fresh reset and then start haret it seems to run every time
15:45.49dcordes_AstainHellbring: leaked att?
15:46.15dcordes_obviously all roms are suitable for booting ramdisks with haret except of mine

15:50.32AstainHellbringalso have you hard spl'd?
15:52.15dcordes_AstainHellbring: what's that?
15:52.30dcordes_what I do not want is void guarantee
15:53.31AstainHellbringhttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=375583
15:53.50AstainHellbringyou can revert back to original stuff rather easily so no need to worry
15:54.56AstainHellbringhard spl allows you to flash roms other than your carrier rom
15:55.03dcordes_I see
15:56.42dcordes_AstainHellbring: what does he mean by sync? YOUR DEVICE MUST BE IN CE AND SYNCED BEFORE RUNNING EACH STEP.
15:57.16AstainHellbringactive sync connected full
15:57.18AstainHellbringfully
15:57.33AstainHellbringalso you may want to remove sim and sd card as it seems to work better when this is done
15:58.14dcordes_are you sure this is necessary?
15:58.24dcordes_the active sync connection?
15:58.38dcordes_isn't the executable for the phone?

15:59.17dcordes_ahh I see
15:59.34dcordes_so I'd need to setup active sync on some windows box

20:11.31cr2_silent for some time already
20:12.11cr2_a lot of stress at work, and it seems i'll look for a new job in the late autumn.
20:12.17kiozeneveryone seems busy :)
20:12.37cr2_yeah.
20:12.49kiozenuh, sattelite program is over?
20:13.17cr2_it's over for a long time.
20:13.33cr2_and the new one is too uncertain for me.
20:14.11kiozenyou can hack mars missions, they have some problems over there
20:14.19cr2_so it's probably should not be in my scope of interests.
20:14.53kiozenyou fear they use wince ? ;)
20:15.04cr2_hehe. it's all ESA
20:15.26cr2_and the usual EU bullshit policy & so on.
20:16.43cr2_you may fail just because there are too little women from new member states in the project. such stories ;-)
20:16.47kiozenmaybe Gallileo needs some support, too,  but that is also very uncertain
20:18.01cr2_non-hardware galileo things are done at gfz Potsdam
20:18.29cr2_and the hardware side is the usual industry support program.
20:19.07kiozenPotsdam is a nice place :)
20:19.28cr2_yes, but everybody whom i know there lives in Berlin
20:19.47cr2_because it's too expensive to live in Potsdam.
20:20.11kiozenformer collegue of my wife lifes there
20:20.56kiozenbut she is in the biochemistry business
20:21.43cr2_biochemistry is €€€
20:21.57kiozenlol, no not at all
20:22.20cr2_and for the others the financial situation in the eastern germany looks not so rosy.
20:22.41cr2_ok, it depends on the field.
20:22.47kiozenit's much money burned, than the people get paid
20:23.22kiozenyou have to work for ages until you can make some profit
20:23.29cr2_i can even compare how the phd students are employed here and there.
20:23.36cr2_ok.
20:24.29cr2_maybe we'd meet sometime and drink a beer :)
20:24.43kiozenin regensburg? :)
20:24.44cr2_what are you doing at the end of july ?
20:24.57cr2_yeah, it's a bit tough, but why not.
20:25.03kiozenI work as usual
20:25.11cr2_ok.
20:25.36kiozenmy wife is for 8 month in munich, so I have to look after our sin 100%
20:25.52cr2_i see.

20:29.34cr2_kiozen: no, but i can drive at the weekend.
20:29.42BabelOkiozen: we havearound 15 to 20 per days
20:29.57kiozenuhhh, dooomed :)
20:30.16BabelOkiozen: most are evolution, not bug ....; but evolution wanted
20:30.40kiozenok, we call them requests :)
20:31.06kiozenyou might have noticed in the changelog of GT
20:31.17kiozenI use the same system as at work
20:31.23BabelOour software do too much things and only two people to create it and solve bug + evolution, it is crazy
20:31.33cr2_BabelO: hi
20:31.43kiozenBabelO: that is normal :)
20:32.32cr2_kiozen: 524km
20:32.37BabelOkiozen: i ve done some more on GT and recognition :) but don't know if it can be usefull, lol, i can detect symbols on map
20:33.25kiozencr2_: pheew, that is quite far. Maybe we can met in half, any Linux event around?
20:33.55kiozenBabelO: well symbols would be fine, still have a lot of caves to find
20:34.03BabelOlol
20:34.14kiozenBabelO: but will it work with my colorfull maps?
20:34.25BabelOkiozen: is it interesting for you to get area on map ?
20:34.44kiozenBabelO: ???? area on map?
20:34.55BabelOkiozen: curve level area
20:35.08BabelOelevation line i mean
20:35.25cr2_kiozen: no idea. but it's a good opportunity to do something else from hacking on the weekend :)
20:35.27kiozenyou mean elevation lines from DEM?
20:35.49kiozencr2_: that's right, anyway, you are very welcome :)
20:36.19cr2_kiozen: ok, i'll think about it.
20:36.36kiozenBabelO: or DEM from elevation lines
20:36.51BabelOyes that's way
20:37.10cr2_i need to hack somthing on my car  first, since the weather is better now.
20:37.25kiozenBabelO: hm, would be kind of interesting :)
20:37.36kiozencr2_: hw or sw?
20:38.38cr2_kiozen: hw.
20:39.20kiozencr2_: automotive hw hacking is eveil :)
20:39.42cr2_yes, when you don't have a garage, it is evil.
20:40.27cr2_BabelO: how old is your cegcc ?
20:40.47cr2_i've downloaded the latest svn version, and it does not compile...
20:41.54BabelOcr2_: version 0.51 from december
20:42.09cr2_ok, so it's not that recent.

21:23.31cr2_hi lamikr_
21:28.48lamikr_cr2_ Hi!
21:30.52cr2_how are you doing ? you must have white hacking nights now :)
21:33.53lamikr_cr2_ I am doing just fine, today was a nice weather, really summer feeling. I am trying to catch now what has happened and also trying to split all h63xx kernel work to smaller patches to be able to handle the upgrade from 2.6.16 to 2.6.26 :-)
21:34.49cr2_ok. so your h63xx is still alive
21:35.01cr2_btw, have you solved the resume problem ?
21:37.18lamikr_Yes, suspend/resume works just fine. It was one register that I needed to setup to be able to order irq wakeup for gsm serial port to be able to wakeup & resume.
21:38.51cr2_nice.
21:40.23lamikr_How about you?
21:42.15cr2_thanks, i'm ok too. still working, and thinking about the vacation :)
21:45.40lamikr_cr2 With working do you mean university or phones?
21:47.48cr2_both.
21:48.08cr2_but mainly university.
21:48.43lamikr_Do you work now with some study/paper or more with teaching?
21:50.22cr2_both, but i'm thinking about doing something else.
21:50.52lamikr_going away from university?
21:51.18cr2_yes.
21:52.35lamikr_Would you be interested in from embedded software or hardware development?
21:54.14cr2_i'm not qualified to do hw development, so it'd be software.
21:56.05lamikr_I am dreaming of being so rich that I could just study something interesting (in university) without need for it being anykind of usefull. Like some mathematic puzzle :-)
21:56.34lamikr_So just opposite of you :-)
21:56.52cr2_lol
21:57.17cr2_everybody wants sometime to do something else from what he was doing before.
21:58.12cr2_and you don't need the university to solve mathematical puzzles :)
22:01.13cr2_i'm being moved into doing some software development anyway.
22:01.29lamikr_Yes, I worked couple of year in university and then I thought that I want to get to some company to really to learn & see how to do REAL work instead of just studying something boring. Now I have noticed that it would be nice to do opposite to be able to read again some smart things and try to think further than deadline in couple of weeks.
22:01.59cr2_and doing it at the university is not a very smart thing.
22:02.21*** join/#htc-linux hollo (n=hollo@3e6b025d.rev.stofanet.dk)
22:02.29cr2_hehe. then i've got it double-bad.
22:02.41lamikr_:-)
22:03.01cr2_having 1 week deadlines for some stupid things
22:03.19cr2_set by not very competent people above ;)
22:04.03cr2_so i'm slowly getting fed up.
22:05.00cr2_teaching is a different thing, but you need a permanent position do do it properly anyway.
22:06.54lamikr_Yes, I think teaching is nice. I have not done that at university, but had once change to have 1 month "programming course" for new workers in my previous company and it was interesting.
22:08.42cr2_hm. only if the students are motivated and interested to do things. otherwise it gets ugly too.
22:10.26cr2_but it's usually the case for complex courses.
22:10.43cr2_because of the natural selection :)
22:10.47lamikr_yes, thats true. But while teaching I really learned myself also just how many different kind of people there are... Needed to pay attention to very different things than normally.
22:11.37cr2_yes, and usually you are understanding the things much better too :-)
22:12.54lamikr_I have myself wanted to start doing some new user space things with my ipaq and XdaII also... I played some weeks ago with the "sugar user interface" of one laptop per child project by using emulator as I wanted to see could that be nice with mobile phone...
22:13.14cr2_interesting
22:14.46cr2_lol. my track is still the only one around heinävesi in osm.
22:14.55lamikr_Some ideas in it, like mesh network, concept of creating trusted groups, network, etc. are interesting. Also the UI concept is kind of though differently.
22:16.28cr2_never seen it in action
22:20.42lamikr_It was pretty easy to build.
22:21.14lamikr_Have you been able to use gps over bluetooth with linux HTC?
22:21.44lamikr_I have thinked whether I should by this one, it cost about 50 euro in here. http://www.verkkokauppa.com/popups/prodinfo.php?id=7722
22:25.09cr2_mtk should be ok.
22:30.39lamikr_Hmm, this one would be even cheaper, seems to have different chip. (Talks about 20 channel, while mtk had 32) Sigmatel Slim GPS . http://www.verkkokauppa.com/popups/prodinfo.php?id=3202
22:31.06lamikr_cr2_ Are you going via finland in this summer?
22:36.25cr2_you have finished the house renovation ?
22:36.57cr2_sirf3 is ok too. but it eats more current than mtk.
22:37.18cr2_otherwise it's one of the most widespread gps chipsets.
22:48.26lamikr_So you think mtk is better? Both are using bluetooth (propably l2cap serial port), is it easy to communicate with both of them? (Is standard for sending and receiving gps data over bt open)
22:50.04cr2_yes, it's the standard serial bt profile
22:50.19cr2_i don't know about the mtk internals
22:50.39cr2_but the sirf binary protocol is well known, and is supported by gpsd.
22:50.44cr2_the nmea works anyway.
22:56.09lamikr_ok, need to think whether to pay 20 euro more for mtk.
23:00.28lamikr_cr2 Yes, house has been ready about since chrismas, just small things like garden left.
23:00.54cr2_sirf is more "standard", mtk works longer
23:01.28cr2_yes, i still rememeber -25C and no snow on the way to Savonlinna
23:01.32cr2_:)

23:09.54lamikr_I am btw. interested in of visiting in germany also in some near future... My wifes brother has lived there about 10 year, so it would be nice to visit there...
23:10.28lamikr_Hmm, maybe 9..10 of aug would be good?
23:12.32cr2_ok, i'll think
23:13.10lamikr_other weekends are also ok, during weeks I often need to be away from home for couple of days.
