Jul 02 13:01:42 <bradfa> ka6sox-away, no, don't know him
Jul 02 13:36:50 <vvu> av500: ping
Jul 02 13:37:11 <av500> jo
Jul 02 13:37:28 <vvu> got u-boot on board now, now the tricky part is to get a good kernel and a good initrd
Jul 02 13:37:41 <av500> ok
Jul 02 13:37:52 <vvu> the one i have made are wrong board does not like em
Jul 02 13:38:08 <vvu> especially the kernel it gives me an error about the hardware id
Jul 02 13:38:16 <av500> missing dtb
Jul 02 13:38:28 <vvu> had dtb
Jul 02 13:38:29 <av500> try to append it
Jul 02 13:38:44 <av500> the error is tpyical for missing dtb
Jul 02 13:38:50 <vvu> i was booting bootm kernelAddr initrdADDR dtbADDR
Jul 02 13:41:11 <vvu> also i need to debug my code a bit, i wanted to do a separate class to handle my usb device but when tried my written class only my bulk transfer read worked. for the write i got a strange dmesg "cannot empty fifo for device"
Jul 02 13:43:01 <vvu> also java is nice, always is going on network byte order :)
Jul 02 13:51:53 <keesj> vvu: I see you progressed!
Jul 02 13:55:10 <vvu> yep
Jul 02 13:55:21 <vvu> but ditched android studio...very very buggy :)
Jul 02 13:55:37 <vvu> i progressed but with some kernel hacks that are not nice
Jul 02 13:55:46 <vvu> also a small u-boot patch
Jul 02 14:01:37 <vvu> av500: gonna try 2night with the linux version to have some good kernel and initrd
Jul 02 14:01:45 <av500> ok
Jul 02 14:02:10 <vvu> when kernel is made does it have the dtb in it ? or i need to append it in bootm command ?
Jul 02 14:02:31 <av500> no
Jul 02 14:02:39 <av500> its a kernel config
Jul 02 14:02:43 <av500> to append the dt
Jul 02 14:02:52 <vvu> also which compiler do you use for kernels ? i have the angstrom 2011 one and it fails
Jul 02 14:03:21 <av500> didnt koen give you a link?
Jul 02 14:03:51 <vvu> yeah but i think i`m a bit stupid and could not find the binaries for gcc and the rest
Jul 02 14:04:26 <vvu> this one http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/toolchains/angstrom-eglibc-x86_64-armv7a-v2012.05-toolchain.tar.bz2
Jul 02 14:06:34 <av500> and that one does not work?
Jul 02 14:06:36 <av500> angstrom-eglibc-i686-armv7a-vfp-neon-v2012.12-toolchain.gz
Jul 02 14:07:01 <vvu> i686 is for a vmware
Jul 02 14:07:04 <av500> and yes angstrom-eglibc-x86_64-armv7a-vfp-neon-v2012.12-toolchain.gz
Jul 02 14:07:07 <vvu> i need x86
Jul 02 14:07:58 <av500> ?
Jul 02 14:08:08 <av500> i686 and x86 is the same
Jul 02 14:08:09 <av500> no?
Jul 02 14:08:22 <av500> or x86_64 for 64bit systems
Jul 02 14:09:48 <vvu> clumsy me
Jul 02 17:51:06 <ka6sox-away> morning
Jul 02 18:06:34 <vvu> av500: is it ok to patch u-boot with a custom bootcmd ?
Jul 02 18:07:02 <vvu> like to hardcore ipaddr and serverip in it and only tftp stuff ?
Jul 02 18:17:49 <ka6sox> jj2baile, ping?
Jul 02 22:14:45 <ka6sox> jj2baile, did you see the new pru_asm?
Jul 02 22:36:14 <jj2baile> ka6sox: Ah, no. What is this?
Jul 02 22:39:00 <ka6sox> https://github.com/beagleboard/am335x_pru_package
Jul 02 22:39:05 <ka6sox> new pru package :)
Jul 02 22:40:58 <jj2baile> ka6sox: Ah cool. Will take a look
Jul 02 22:42:15 <vvu> https://github.com/beagleboard/kernel/tree/3.8
Jul 02 22:42:19 <vvu> wrong,sorry
Jul 02 22:43:00 <ka6sox> he he
Jul 03 00:07:53 <vvu|Mobile> Tartarus: ping
Jul 03 00:35:58 <Tartarus> vvu|Mobile, semi-pong
Jul 03 00:36:26 <vvu|Mobile> if i pass a initrd to the kernel needs to be .gziped or can be in cpio format. how does u-boot treat it ?
Jul 03 00:37:18 <ds2> have you also looked at initramfs?
Jul 03 00:37:52 * vvu|Mobile at this moment does not know exactly the difference about initrd, initramfs.
Jul 03 00:38:01 <vvu|Mobile> initramfs is not built in into the kernel right?
Jul 03 00:38:12 <ds2> initramfs can be compiled into the kernel
Jul 03 00:38:20 <ds2> so a single uImage has a ramdisk
Jul 03 00:38:27 <vvu|Mobile> i am not building it into the kernel
Jul 03 00:39:02 <Tartarus> vvu|Mobile, by default, it needs to be mkimage'd with a header, but you can add support for raw ramdisk
Jul 03 00:39:17 <Tartarus> OR you can just load it into a spot in memory and pass that info to the kernel via the command line
Jul 03 00:39:34 <Tartarus> CONFIG_SUPPORT_RAW_INITRD
Jul 03 00:40:24 <vvu|Mobile> mhmhm
Jul 03 00:47:26 <vvu|Mobile> so my .cpio needs to be mkimage`d now then passed to u-boot
**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Wed Jul 03 01:02:56 2013
Jul 03 01:06:21 <ds2> vvu|Mobile: that is the address to pass to the kernel either via ATAG or the commandline
Jul 03 01:06:39 <vvu|Mobile> i was reading http://www.stlinux.com/u-boot/mkimage/ramdisk-images
Jul 03 01:08:52 <vvu|Mobile> is it ok if i skip entry point and load addr in mkimage and pass them in u-boot?
Jul 03 01:10:26 <ds2> try these numbers - http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/AM35x-OMAP35x-PSP_03.00.00.05_UserGuide
Jul 03 01:10:45 <ds2> then you don't need mkimage
Jul 03 01:10:54 <ds2> you can raw load then just pass them in
Jul 03 01:12:40 <vvu|Mobile> ds2: seem legit like this ?http://pastebin.com/NEKCzp71
Jul 03 01:14:05 <vvu|Mobile> ok got it
Jul 03 01:14:08 <vvu|Mobile> how ot use
Jul 03 01:14:08 <vvu|Mobile> to
Jul 03 01:14:51 <vvu|Mobile> and how do i append my device tree file? bootm kernelAddr dtbsAddr ?
Jul 03 01:16:12 <ds2> think so
Jul 03 01:17:09 <vvu|Mobile> so long my sleeping plans for 2night
Jul 03 01:33:18 <ka6sox> vvu|Mobile, you need sleeep
Jul 03 01:34:42 <vvu|Mobile> i like to consider myself a starter Programmer (noun): An organism that converts caffeine and pizza into code.
Jul 03 01:35:43 <ka6sox> :)
