**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Tue Apr 07 02:59:58 2009 Apr 07 14:59:07 Hi Apr 07 14:59:59 I'm kind of clueless... Apr 07 15:00:11 What is Angstrom supported on? Apr 07 15:00:16 Only mobile devices? Apr 07 15:00:51 Nope ;-), but a lot of the focus is on lightweight/embedded devices. Apr 07 15:01:06 What about a normal desktop? Apr 07 15:02:01 you can run a pretty normal looking Angstrom based desktop on the Beagle Boad Apr 07 15:03:19 What about the Arm based Nintendo ds? Apr 07 15:03:21 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nintendo_DS Apr 07 15:06:04 I do not knwo much about that Apr 07 15:06:32 But what about hardware requirements? Apr 07 15:06:37 It has 4mb of ram.. Apr 07 15:06:46 Is that too little? Apr 07 15:07:59 Photoguy: more that no one has (to my understanding) done the work to add DS Linux support to OpenEmbedded/Angstrom, it could be done for sure but any GUI images would be very tight. A console image would be fine I suspect. Apr 07 15:08:43 םל Apr 07 15:08:47 Sorry Apr 07 15:08:50 Ok Apr 07 15:09:00 Hardware requirements are rather a moot point as you tweek for the platform, for example, a little device like the DS may run a console image or some really light GUI, Beagle is a full blown desktop. Apr 07 15:09:49 The main processor is 67 mhz,and the co is 33mhz, you can upgrade the ram to 38 mb. Apr 07 15:10:45 Iמאקרקדאןמע Apr 07 15:10:49 Sorry Apr 07 15:11:01 Photoguy: VERY familiar with the DS ;-). As I said, you would need to add support for the DS as a machine to OpenEmbedded/Angstrom and add support for the DSLinux kernel. Apr 07 15:11:18 Ok, thanks for the info. Apr 07 15:11:45 I doubt it would be hard, I never looked at it as with the DS I prefer to code onto the hardware. Apr 07 17:12:05 Is there some sort of guide on how to install make Angstrom bootable, like from a flash device Apr 07 17:12:06 ? Apr 07 18:23:01 Is this the right place for noob questions on troubleshooting Angstrom build? Apr 07 18:23:20 try to ask Apr 07 18:23:34 but chuck doesn't need to ask, he knows all the answers :)) Apr 07 18:30:15 Heh heh, chuck doesn't need Angstrom but I do! :) I tried I following the procedure from the building-angtrom page. When I try to build anything, bitbake bombs with the error "NOTE: package shasum-native-1.0-r1: task do_compile: failed". All the log.do_compile files in angstrom-dev/work/i686-linux/shasum-native-1.0-r1/temp are zero-length/empty, so I'm not quite sure how to debug this. Is this a familiar problem, or are there other log files with m Apr 07 18:30:15 ore info? Apr 07 18:31:05 i've had similar problem Apr 07 18:31:29 but dunno what was broken Apr 07 18:31:48 if i recall i omitted some step in howto Apr 07 18:34:39 I may just start from scratch and repeat the howto steps, thanks. Did you get a successful build eventually? Apr 07 18:35:34 yes, build was successfull afterwards Apr 07 18:47:57 Hi everybody. Is the angstom-distribution website down? I can't seem to access it :( Apr 07 18:50:04 seems that yes Apr 07 18:50:23 hmm.. to bad.. hoped that maybe it was just my dns f'ing up again... Apr 07 18:50:42 no... this site is time to time down Apr 07 18:51:40 Ok, thanks anyways :) If this is the wrong place to ask i'm sorry, but how involved is the Ångström installation? Does any ready-to-go images for cf/sd exist, or do i manually need to flash the ROM of my device (ipaq h2200). Apr 07 18:52:45 i tried installing Opie using the instructions at handhelds.org (using Haret as a loader) but i coulnd't manage to get the kernel going... My device just sits with a blank screen... doh :( Apr 07 18:53:12 anyway, if this is not the place to ask these questions please tell me, and i'll go looking somewhere else ;) Apr 07 20:35:41 I think I found the solution to my earlier problem in the thread from http://www.mail-archive.com/openembedded-users@lists.openembedded.org/msg00655.html I had to add CCACHE="" into my local.conf. Now the build is in progress. **** ENDING LOGGING AT Wed Apr 08 02:59:57 2009
