**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Fri Apr 09 02:59:56 2010 Apr 09 05:41:25 hmm Apr 09 05:41:38 console build took 393 minutes Apr 09 05:41:56 nearly 7 hours Apr 09 05:51:50 so now what? Apr 09 05:51:56 i've built the image, where is it now? Apr 09 06:07:51 morning Apr 09 06:22:21 deploy dir Apr 09 06:44:44 okay.. Apr 09 06:54:49 hmm Apr 09 06:55:10 i need to format my brand new sd card first Apr 09 07:38:23 What's a good way to get an overview of the structure and dependencies of base-image? Are there any nice graphs of the main parts of angstrom somewhere? Apr 09 10:42:30 hmm Apr 09 10:42:36 so i got my image built Apr 09 10:42:41 how do i put it to sdcard? Apr 09 10:46:14 cd /media/card; tar xzvf /path/to/image/image.tar.gz Apr 09 10:47:41 erm Apr 09 10:47:50 do i need to use fdisk etc? Apr 09 10:48:02 as in http://elinux.org/BeagleBoardBeginners#Development_with_.C3.85ngstr.C3.B6m Apr 09 10:49:47 neure, you will definitely need to uncompress that as root as the tar contains device nodes. Apr 09 10:50:06 what about partitioning etc? Apr 09 10:50:20 One partition is fine. Apr 09 10:50:32 okay so that part is unnecessary and outdated? Apr 09 10:50:45 Infact, the fstab probably expects a single partition. Apr 09 10:51:06 neure, how do you mean? Apr 09 10:52:00 well that page mentions going through fdisk and computing cylinders etc. Apr 09 10:52:14 Which page? Apr 09 10:52:35 ^^ elinux.org Apr 09 10:52:46 Ah, just spotted that! Apr 09 10:53:09 damn gotta go Apr 09 10:53:09 bbl Apr 09 10:55:24 Huh, you probably do need to do that. It's beagleboard specific I guess. Apr 09 11:39:31 hi there Apr 09 11:46:22 I am playing with BB clone (IGEPv2) and Anstrom on top of it for some time now. I've managed to bitbake some different rootfs'es, applied few patches, etc. I even managed to configure eclipse to index kernel symbols, and developed few dummy modules for my kernel. I'd like to get into developing some userspace apps, and I have some doubts. Apr 09 11:46:43 What is the correct way to force hand-made application to include correct kernel-headers (and maybe other apps headers)? Apr 09 11:47:15 Is there any "right way" to do it? To compile userspace app against headers of my boards rootfs? Apr 09 11:47:45 Or is it rather a "do as you wish" method? Apr 09 11:48:53 nazgee, User space applications shouldn't need board specific kernel headers. Apr 09 11:53:09 MWelchUK_work: So it is cross-compiler's responsibility to take care of all the details, right? Apr 09 11:54:55 I have no problem with building kernel-modules against right kernel - this seems straightforward, and I'd be more than happy if choosing the right ARCH and CC would take care of includes. Apr 09 11:54:56 My knowledge is a little limited on that front, but I believe that is correct. Apr 09 11:56:23 nazgee, you might need some DEPENDS if it needs non-standard libraries, it will also depend on how cross-comile friendly you makefile is. Apr 09 12:00:55 Ok. That was what I thought, as building simple apps prooved to end up successfully. I'll give it a try, and get back if something goes wrong. Apr 09 12:00:59 MWelchUK_work: Thanks Apr 09 12:01:12 np Apr 09 12:17:57 when i connect usb sdcard reader to ubuntu running in vmware, where should i see the device? Apr 09 12:37:06 neure: Have you configured vmware to make it see this SD card? Apr 09 12:37:56 If you're using SD reader on USB, you should try to enable this specific device under VM Apr 09 12:38:20 In virtual box you do it under image preferences Apr 09 12:42:47 yes Apr 09 12:42:49 i got it formatted now Apr 09 12:42:56 using the instructions there Apr 09 12:43:05 i got virtual box bluescreen Apr 09 12:43:10 so i'm staying with vmware **** ENDING LOGGING AT Sat Apr 10 02:59:57 2010
