Apr 27 11:14:27 <VartiWork> ant_work: hi, I'm testing now during lunch break your latest OE builds
Apr 27 11:18:29 <ant_work> hello
Apr 27 11:19:28 <ant_work> this weekend I have to upload the musl version, a couple of MB smaller
Apr 27 11:25:01 <VartiWork> good, will test that too
Apr 27 11:27:29 <VartiWork> and I'm right finally booting your 5500 for the first time
Apr 27 11:28:16 <ant_work> heh
Apr 27 11:29:10 <VartiWork> it has the stock Sharp ROM, in english
Apr 27 11:30:03 <VartiWork> there's a guy on oesf who has asked me to try to compile a bunch of ncurses-only apps for his 5500, will take  look at it
Apr 27 11:30:44 <ant_work> I have to recognize, these old distros did put a lot of stuff in the small 14MB
Apr 27 11:31:39 <VartiWork> yep
Apr 27 11:31:52 <VartiWork> apps used to be smaller in the past, though
Apr 27 11:41:02 <VartiWork> ok, this time the NAND restore + kexec flash trick has not worked, 4.4.8 kexec wasn't booting, it used to work everytime before, so there has to be another factor which is causing kexec to fail
Apr 27 11:43:23 <VartiWork> actually, this time I have flashed kexec 4.4.8 plus core-image-base-akita-20170422205004.rootfs.jffs2 renamed as initrd.bin
Apr 27 11:44:50 <VartiWork> I'll try the ubi version next time... should I use the .ubi or .ubifs, or both of them can be used?
Apr 27 11:44:51 <ant_work> pn akita?
Apr 27 11:44:53 <VartiWork> yes
Apr 27 11:45:33 <ant_work> I forgot to tell you: I have noticed when using the 3200 after a long time
Apr 27 11:45:37 <ant_work> it was dry
Apr 27 11:45:45 <ant_work> battery took many mins to boot
Apr 27 11:45:52 <ant_work> and after reflash the same
Apr 27 11:46:16 <ant_work> it seems it needs to recharge the internal batt
Apr 27 11:46:26 <VartiWork> ah, that's interesting
Apr 27 11:46:43 <ant_work> on c860 it needs less time
Apr 27 11:46:56 <ant_work> basically it never happens
Apr 27 11:47:20 <ant_work> on collie ther eis a second batt onboard: you can check the voltage in the d+m menu
Apr 27 11:47:28 <VartiWork> so I guess everytime I start doing the tests, I shall charge the battery a bit before starting, let's say for 30 mins
Apr 27 11:47:33 <ant_work> iirc that one was ok, as the one I have...
Apr 27 11:47:40 <VartiWork> I see
Apr 27 11:47:46 <ant_work> maybe 10mins are enough
Apr 27 11:47:53 <VartiWork> ok, thanks for the tip
Apr 27 11:48:06 <ant_work> but I have seen the 3200 after flashing kexecboot did not restart: needed charge
Apr 27 11:48:17 <ant_work> I hope it is just this
Apr 27 11:49:03 <VartiWork> this is btw confusing, since both DM and switchon+OK menus aren't affected by the battery charge status
Apr 27 11:49:55 <VartiWork> you can even do a NAND restore with no battery inserted at all, just the power plug
Apr 27 11:50:31 <ant_work> the 3200 did not start immediatly, even ac connected
Apr 27 11:50:41 <ant_work> I think ther eis a check on the min voltages
Apr 27 11:51:10 <ant_work> I don't remember offhand if the clamshell models have that second batt: I presume yes
Apr 27 11:54:18 <VartiWork> most probably...
Apr 27 11:59:30 <VartiWork> looks like only the 5500 had one: http://www.oesf.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=8668
