**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Thu Nov 13 02:59:57 2008 Nov 13 05:04:35 Hello Nov 13 05:04:38 hi Nov 13 05:04:50 watsap Nov 13 05:05:18 where can I get the source for the Angstrom build for the beagle board Nov 13 05:05:19 ? Nov 13 05:30:10 well, if anyone has the answer I can check it in the logs later Nov 13 05:30:12 thanks Nov 13 08:16:36 hi there Nov 13 12:04:02 how do I install packages? Nov 13 12:10:40 which angstrom version are you using and which machine are you using it on? Nov 13 12:13:08 beagleboard Nov 13 12:13:19 isn't there a package manager? Nov 13 12:14:16 yeah, if you're using the 2008.x version the package manager is opkg Nov 13 12:14:23 if you're using 2007.x it's ipkg Nov 13 12:14:29 that's why I asked the version ... Nov 13 12:14:59 ok, thanks Nov 13 12:15:04 I tried ipkg, and couldn't find it Nov 13 12:15:14 then I tried some other stuff.. but I found opkg! Nov 13 12:20:06 I guess some packages don't exist for some platforms Nov 13 12:20:33 I can't install git for example Nov 13 12:24:36 you can get an idea of availability with the package browser on http://angstrom-distribution.org Nov 13 12:24:50 do you have an OpenEmbedded environment setup for building things? Nov 13 12:26:28 I want to build things on the beagle board Nov 13 12:31:29 maybe debian would be better Nov 13 12:32:17 if you really want to build natively, then debian might be better Nov 13 12:32:21 or even ubuntu Nov 13 12:32:31 Certainly OpenEmbedded is more focused on cross compilation than native development. Nov 13 12:34:36 yeah Nov 13 12:34:52 the only problem is I can't get debian to install :-P Nov 13 12:35:28 Try asking debian-arm@lists.debian.org. Nov 13 12:35:56 Kernel is probably too old ATM due to the release freeze, though. Nov 13 12:36:55 well, I have to git it then apply like 35 patches Nov 13 12:37:07 maybe I have to do that with OpenEmbedded first Nov 13 22:50:07 hey Nov 13 22:50:48 does anyone know, if SDHC cards run on angstrom? Nov 13 22:50:56 hey johnx! Nov 13 22:51:23 if the hw supports them why not? Nov 13 22:51:51 i use a collie (zaurus sl5500G) Nov 13 22:52:05 i have troubles to get the card running Nov 13 22:52:49 maybe the 2.6 kernel has problems with it? Nov 13 22:53:06 i heard the 2.4 kernel has better sd card support Nov 13 23:03:41 is the SPI Driver for Collie in one of the distributions for sl5500 ? Nov 13 23:11:12 johnx, what sd card do you use on the collie? **** ENDING LOGGING AT Fri Nov 14 02:59:57 2008
