Mar 06 06:40:52 koen has Mar 06 06:41:13 http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/recent-kexecboot-ipaq-hx4700 Mar 06 06:46:21 yes, i just read it. do you know where to get the source code? Mar 06 08:59:06 Hi all Mar 06 08:59:23 Got Angstrom working on my beagle board ! Mar 06 09:04:00 morning :) Mar 06 09:44:12 Oh, I'm trying to get Angstrom working on my iPAQ5550 Mar 06 09:49:01 Anyone around could help me creating an .img file? Mar 06 09:51:07 what do you mean by .img file ? Mar 06 09:51:41 I'm basically running angstrom on my iPaq h3900 in the loopback mode where I need a jffs2.img image Mar 06 09:52:11 I know how to create jffs2 files, but don't know how to do the .img Mar 06 09:53:14 But do you know what is exactly this img Mar 06 09:53:24 Is it a ramdisk loaded with uboot ? Mar 06 09:55:06 I think so, I'm not sure. I just want to emulate what it's doe in the example available on the web, where you run linux off the SD card where you have the bootloader exe and the jffs2.img file Mar 06 09:57:52 Ups, sorry, it's a rootfs.img file, not jffs2! Mar 06 09:57:55 I've just realizaed Mar 06 09:58:38 It's explained here http://linuxtogo.org/gowiki/WinCeQuickInstall in the loopback image section Mar 06 09:59:35 I want to create my own root filesystem and convert it to .img so it will run off the SD card just as the example rootfs does Mar 06 10:08:50 I give a look Mar 06 10:10:19 but If it is a ramdisk image for uboot (whatever fs format is) u shall use mkimage for uboot loading it before launching the kernel Mar 06 10:10:31 well the link is dead Mar 06 10:10:49 it takes a lot to load sometimes Mar 06 10:35:58 .img is created I think by OE if you set IMAGE_FSTYPES += "cpio" in your local.conf Mar 06 10:46:51 Ok, but then I'll have to build it manually. I was thinking of using the bot (narcissus is it called?) to generate the rootfs and make the .img from that. Is this possible? Mar 06 10:54:06 Look I do think that this img is a simple dd Mar 06 10:55:47 you shall have created a file and format it to jffs2, so that the file you've create that is img Mar 06 11:00:21 So you're saying I should just rename the rootfs.jffs2 file to rootfs.img and that's it? Mar 06 11:10:55 yes Mar 06 11:14:45 Ok, I'll try Mar 06 11:14:49 Thanx! Mar 06 11:25:31 It didn't work Mar 06 11:26:02 I don't think .jffs2 and .img are the same thing, there has to be a difference Mar 06 13:16:58 hi mckoan ! Mar 06 13:17:49 ciao Mar 06 13:48:23 mmm a question ... which kernel are used in order to support the angstrom distro for iPAQ ? Mar 06 14:00:42 not the linux-hh kernels I think Mar 06 14:34:46 mmm can somebody confirm it ? Mar 06 14:35:05 the hh seems to be pretty dead now a days **** BEGIN LOGGING AT Fri Mar 06 16:41:29 2009 Mar 06 19:55:29 mmm a question ... which kernel are used in order to support the angstrom distro for iPAQ ?
