11:42.48HammerTuxhello is anybody can teach me about haret.exe
11:43.11phhwhat do you want to know about it ?
11:47.34HammerTuxi want to know now to edit startup.txt
11:47.54phh?
11:47.56phhwith a file editor ? :D
11:48.02HammerTuxwht no should mtype be
11:48.20phhthe mtype of your device
11:48.37HammerTuxhow to get the mtype
11:49.18HammerTuxmy device is SE faith
11:50.05phhyou've got a kernel for it ... ?
11:50.56*** join/#htc-linux zeusk (77eb360e@gateway/web/freenode/ip.119.235.54.14)
11:51.03Alex[sp3dev]you can just disable all boards except one in kernel and any mtype will work
11:51.51HammerTuxis it zimage.ext ?
11:52.05HammerTuxi m very beginner
11:52.32HammerTuxi read a lot but still dont really understand
11:54.10Alex[sp3dev]look, if there is a port for your device already, just use it. if there is none, keep in mind that in 99% the kernel for other device will not even boot despite having the same cpu. in that case, you'll have to learn to compile kernel from sources and disable everything except framebuffer driver
11:54.21zeuskmtype is like an identification number which tells linux what board files to use, every board has a unique id and is fixed.
11:54.50zeuskDo what alex says.
11:55.14HammerTuxno port for SE faith yet.. im using Topaz
11:59.28HammerTuxlooks like i have to begin from start again
12:14.35HammerTuxis there any available tutorial to learn compile the kernel. wht basic do i need for beginner
12:17.51Cotullawhat is main idea to have unique id?
12:18.25Alex[sp3dev]<PROTECTED>
12:19.50Cotullau can do it via other ways I believe
12:23.14*** join/#htc-linux DJWillis (djwillis@cpc1-bath5-2-0-cust122.aztw.cable.virginmedia.com)
12:25.52zeuskbut what is the benefit of supporting multiple boards with the same cpu (atleast in embedded space where space is crucial) ?
12:26.33phhspace .. crucial ?
12:26.44phhsupporting another board is max 100kB
12:26.45Alex[sp3dev]for example, take a look at XDANDROID that uses unified kernel for all devices. and generally with over 300mb ram, size is not crucial
12:27.15Alex[sp3dev]besides, in linux, you can save space by using __initdata attributes
12:27.52zeuskbut most of the linux boards are not like htc and samsung phones with gb of storage and so much ram.
12:27.57zeuskhmm
12:30.18Cotullamaybe
12:30.23*** join/#htc-linux |Jeroen| (~jeroen@d5152B25B.access.telenet.be)
12:30.26Cotullabut they could detect dev type inside board init
12:30.28Cotullaand use it later
12:31.00CotullaI ran same binary CE kernel on 3 different phones and 2 different CPUs :P
12:31.55Cotullabut maybe it's not bad feature, but sometimes irritate ofcourse
12:32.04Alex[sp3dev]Cotulla: you cannot always detect board from code if some gpios or registers are not use for storing the ID. But on the other hand, bootloader is flashed once and you can just hardcode it there and then use the same image for multiple devices (that's what we've been doing with tf101 and a500 ;)
12:32.18Cotullayes
12:32.18zeuskbut with so many boards, very hard to detect or differentiate boards when bootloader can pass just a few chars to ease it so much.
12:32.25Cotullait's question of hardware already
12:32.36Cotullalinux somehow wants to run on all
12:32.50zeuskit wants to take over the world.
12:32.55Cotullais it possible to mix ARMv5 & ARMv7 inside kernel?
12:33.43Cotullabut the problem that real people usually are working on 1-2 boards at the same time. they have not target to run it on any arm board
12:33.48*** join/#htc-linux Cass (~Cass@188-220-34-222.zone11.bethere.co.uk)
12:33.48Alex[sp3dev]Cotulla: i think there were efforts to do that, but probably no one did it because anything below armv7 is irrelevant
12:34.14Cotullalol wh0t?
12:34.18Alex[sp3dev]in fact, having support for multiple boards is really useful for tablet pcs and netbooks and mostly useless for others
12:34.41Cotullamaybe
12:35.18Cotullahow is ur tablet btw?
12:35.23*** join/#htc-linux GNUtoo (~gnutoo@host29-81-dynamic.48-82-r.retail.telecomitalia.it)
12:35.29Alex[sp3dev]but you can disable the boards you do not need and it won't waste precious memory, so why complain?
12:35.48zeusk^^ that is what i said some time ago.

13:22.54CotullaDM sound
13:23.27zeusklol, im playing pokemon in gb emulator on leo.
13:23.36zeuskit is so better than original gba crap
13:23.46Alex[sp3dev]DM FTMFW
13:24.19zeuskuhm, what is DM ?
13:24.24Cotullalol
13:24.50Alex[sp3dev]zeusk: Depeche Mode of course
13:24.55Cotullaya
13:25.18Cotullado u like anything from it, Alexx?
13:26.32Alex[sp3dev]Cotulla: almost everything
13:26.38Cotulla;)
13:27.05CotullaI prefer an early albums, they are more powerful and energy  ;)
13:27.17Alex[sp3dev]my favorite song is probably Strangelove
13:27.23Cotullahaha yeah
13:27.45CotullaI like it too very
13:27.47Alex[sp3dev]especially the "I give in to sin" part.
13:28.27Cotullado u prefer USA or UK version?
13:28.35*** join/#htc-linux AstainHellbring (AstainHell@unaffiliated/astainhellbring)
13:29.13Alex[sp3dev]the one from 87 Music for the masses
13:30.06Alex[sp3dev]the UK version that is
13:30.17CotullaUK:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wYeH2LeFOhk   USA: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cs1xpKv2xdI&feature=related
13:30.29Cotullayeah I like more UK too
13:31.03Cotullawhat about "Black Celebration"? ;)
13:31.18Alex[sp3dev]wait.. either my music library is messed up or what but i have the USA version in the 1987 album. I like that intro sound more
13:31.44Cotullahm
13:39.07Cotullawhat "timer pop" means?
