**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Tue May 23 03:00:02 2017 **** BEGIN LOGGING AT Tue May 23 06:32:00 2017 May 23 06:47:35 ant_work: I have created a 2.6.26 kexecboot for akita with kexecboot 0.6, I hope Varti can try soon May 23 06:47:51 hi greguu May 23 06:48:04 hi ant_work May 23 06:48:42 afair 3.2 kexecboot serie (the lost one) was ok on akita. Jay7 tested it May 23 06:49:05 ok, do we have zImage of these ? May 23 06:49:18 nope May 23 06:49:25 I have now recreated the OE toolchain I used with 3.x May 23 06:50:09 we should understand what got broken: kernel or updater.sh? May 23 06:50:21 I think kernel May 23 06:50:26 maybe machine detection May 23 06:50:48 me too, in fact 3100/3200 and akita have same nand May 23 06:50:48 or wrong .config used (defconfig not up to date) May 23 06:51:09 but ripping out mtd it should really be same kernel May 23 06:51:14 yes, I gave Varti a kernel without NAND, MTD support , same issue May 23 06:51:33 heh May 23 06:51:55 I compiled a test 3.10.y kernel , with akita forced, eg all "if machine=akita" enabled May 23 06:52:02 Varti needs to test May 23 06:52:12 I missed an auction on a C1000 last night.. May 23 06:52:54 someone outbid me last second May 23 06:52:56 ideally he should try to launch the keceboot kernels with an old valid linux-kexecboot May 23 06:53:10 now and then akit aappears May 23 06:53:10 yes he could try that May 23 06:53:43 just put it on the card and start it May 23 06:53:56 and maybe we can enable full debug in kernel and kexecboot May 23 06:53:57 I used the 2.6.26 akita zImage and replaced the initramfs.cpio.gz May 23 06:54:17 this will give at least new boot.cfg parser support May 23 06:54:21 but again, it's really strange May 23 06:54:35 yes, it is, my bet is machine detection is borked May 23 06:55:14 I think the kernel does not boot, as the charging LED stays on. May 23 06:55:30 it should change once you boot a new kernel May 23 06:56:00 also it would be good to have a second C1000 user to test May 23 06:56:09 maybe something wrong with varti's zaurus May 23 06:56:16 I checked again and we have CONFIG_PXA_SHARPSL_DETECT_MACH_ID=y May 23 06:56:25 in linux-kexecboot May 23 06:56:31 yes, it is on mine too May 23 06:57:01 maybe it fails to detect akita and boots using borzio or spitz May 23 06:57:20 looking at spitz.c there are a few if machine=akita sections May 23 06:57:31 see, I spent the time between 3.2 and 3.19 with that defective collie :/ May 23 06:57:51 no worries, I guess we get it sorted May 23 06:57:59 then I got another two devices and discovered the first was b0rked... May 23 06:58:29 I hope for Varti it isn't like that..but finally I almost hope it :p May 23 06:59:16 I follow jp actions at the moment to get a C1000 or even a C7xx/C8xx but not sure it is worth it May 23 07:00:14 I lost a bid on a C1000 and C3200 for 50 Euro last night May 23 07:00:23 would have been a good buy May 23 07:00:40 there is one here in Italy on ebay for 119 Eur atm May 23 07:00:42 both for this price, just charger missing May 23 07:01:00 possbly stolen May 23 07:01:12 119Eur is stil a lot May 23 07:01:28 I guess they get rare and actually are a quite unique device May 23 07:01:47 Most are lost in someones drawer and will never go for sale May 23 07:01:49 seems he has 3 May 23 07:01:54 he ? May 23 07:02:06 the person selling May 23 07:02:08 ? May 23 07:02:50 maybe it's a small company or a stufdio May 23 07:02:53 mom May 23 07:03:37 https://tinyurl.com/nx3zw9a May 23 07:03:56 ok, repack_zImage.sh , nice script to change initramfs on a compiled zImage https://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=585650&d=1304446896 May 23 07:04:23 heh, lazy trick May 23 07:04:44 haha May 23 07:04:50 nice May 23 07:05:22 looks like the seller has a lot of technical understanding... all the specs May 23 07:08:04 ok, Varti should thgen test 2.6 è new kexecboot May 23 07:08:07 I used this script on your older 2.6.26 kernel and replaced the initramfs with a kexecboot 0.6 May 23 07:08:19 and set debug in the appended cmdline May 23 07:08:24 yes May 23 07:08:40 I am not sure I can change that without recompiling May 23 07:08:47 https://github.com/greguu/linux-3.10.y-c3x00-f2fs-kexec-r0/releases/download/r0/linux-2.6.26-c1000-frankenstein.tar.gz May 23 07:09:14 I created this bastard zImage, it boots fine in qemu, just waiting for Varti to test :) May 23 07:09:24 btw, are you using the klibc bins inn the cpio? May 23 07:09:51 how is it you had to remove jffs2? May 23 07:10:04 I have lot of space with 3.x for extra stuff May 23 07:11:03 hm, not sure, my kexecboot is not that big. It should be klibc. May 23 07:11:47 my curren kexecboot initramfs is smaller than the one from 2.6.26, otherwise I would have not been able to inject it to the zImage May 23 07:12:06 maybe some CFLAFS for kernel compilation May 23 07:12:14 but I use -Os May 23 07:12:37 VartiWork : May you try this ? https://github.com/greguu/linux-3.10.y-c3x00-f2fs-kexec-r0/releases/download/r0/linux-2.6.26-c1000-frankenstein.tar.gz May 23 07:13:10 maybe because of lzma/xz used after 3.x May 23 07:13:19 haha frankestein :) May 23 07:13:19 but check also ubiattach May 23 07:13:34 ubiattach I never compile, just borrow from your initramfs May 23 07:13:36 (if you added ubi to 2.6 :p) May 23 07:13:53 I left it in there yes, even if there is no UBI in the kernel May 23 07:13:58 appropriate I'd say, I'll try it tonight May 23 07:14:03 hi ant_work May 23 07:14:22 VartiWork, we are almost hoping your unit is defective :) May 23 07:14:35 ant_work: the initramfs.cpio.gz from 2.6 is bigger than my new initramfs.cpio.gz (yes I use xz in 4.12) May 23 07:14:50 don't say that :P May 23 07:14:54 yes, different compression May 23 07:14:56 VartiWork, https://tinyurl.com/nx3zw9a May 23 07:15:02 3 akita in Italy May 23 07:15:14 you buy both and send me one :) May 23 07:15:27 uh May 23 07:15:33 VartiWork: I lost the bid last night on the C1000 and C3200 May 23 07:15:41 damn May 23 07:15:58 I'm now tempted to bid on that May 23 07:16:37 I will check some more JP auctions over the next weeks May 23 07:16:58 Castano Primo, that's a place near Milano, too far for me May 23 07:17:21 wait, 119 euros for each of them?^ May 23 07:18:01 no way... May 23 07:18:13 no idea, I'd bet 50euro May 23 07:18:29 ant_work: when chaning the initramfs in a zImage , the zImage size can not change, the new initramfs has to be the same size or smaller, then padding zeros. May 23 07:18:56 ah, iirc long ago it was possible to put it after the kernel May 23 07:19:03 to cat it May 23 07:19:26 if there was no compression I guess May 23 07:20:01 anyway, VartiWork needs to try May 23 07:20:17 please try also this one https://github.com/greguu/linux-3.10.y-c3x00-f2fs-kexec-r0/releases/download/r0/linux-3.10.y-c1000-f2fs-kexec-test-r0.tar.xz May 23 07:20:26 ok May 23 07:20:30 it has Akita hardcoded - no machine detection May 23 07:21:16 both boot on qemu.. but hey, this means nothing May 23 07:21:21 * VartiWork thinks he really needs to start bringing his Akita with him, so he can do quick tests during lunch breaks May 23 07:21:53 the other two also booted on it isn't it? May 23 07:22:44 yes, qemu boots all sorts of things you throw at it May 23 07:23:06 real hardware is a bit more fuzzy May 23 07:23:48 ant_work: did the 2.6.26 kexecboot have ext3 enabled ? May 23 07:24:39 it seems there was no .config enabled in the kernel so I could not extract it May 23 07:26:34 also the 2.6.26 has no logo and boots with some higher loglevel output already it seems (qemu) May 23 07:28:45 greguu: would it be feasible to activate the USB port first during boot and use that to send all the debug messages? May 23 07:29:03 or to dump them on the SD? May 23 07:29:04 hm no, I think you need JTAG for serial to see this stuff May 23 07:29:05 greguu, iirc it was missing fat May 23 07:29:47 ant_work: what you mean ? fat is enabled in kexecboot usually. May 23 07:29:57 ah, so not even the debug serial port? May 23 07:30:13 well this is the JTAG port, I do not have an adapter, do you ? May 23 07:30:47 nope... May 23 07:30:50 ant_work: ah, ok fat was missing in 2.6.26 May 23 07:31:07 I think so... May 23 07:31:16 no worries, but ext3 was in there ? May 23 07:31:17 I was thinking of getting one, though they are very rare May 23 07:31:27 or even was missing CF ? May 23 07:31:40 it was not fully ok, for sure May 23 07:31:59 ant_work: really, no CF ? May 23 07:32:06 about conigs, I think I have them May 23 07:33:16 VartiWork, just try the frankenstein build. Would be fun to see if it works May 23 07:33:30 http://cgit.openembedded.org/openembedded/tree/recipes/linux?h=org.openembedded.dev May 23 07:33:31 ^ May 23 07:33:34 will do May 23 07:34:43 even ext4 enabled in the defconfig May 23 07:34:45 :) May 23 07:35:52 i guess I look at the wrong defconfig May 23 07:36:24 2.6.38 was later, has already lzma May 23 07:36:50 * ant_work digging in the logs May 23 07:37:04 so -2.6.39 has ext4, ubi etc May 23 07:37:12 but the kernel I patched awas 2.6.26 May 23 07:41:18 http://brooknet.no-ip.org/media/Audio/WAV/idoru/more_pickup_sounds/ May 23 07:42:24 noise emitted by a Sharp SL5500 ('Collie') running OpenZaurus 3.5.4 and GPE, recorded using a telephone pickup coil May 23 07:42:31 people are strange May 23 07:43:37 greguu, found 2.6.24 May 23 07:43:45 looking for 2.6.26 now May 23 07:44:21 https://tinyurl.com/lgegxuu May 23 07:44:25 greguu, ^ May 23 07:44:31 * greguu listeing to sl-c860.wav: Sharp SL-C860, running Angstrom 2008.1 from an SD card, with kexecboot. The buzzing sound is the LCD. May 23 07:44:59 https://tinyurl.com/"lgegxuu" almost "greguu" May 23 07:45:26 lol May 23 07:46:46 ok, it has ext3 enabled as I suspected. good. May 23 07:47:08 there's a zaurus projects page there which is interesting, though May 23 07:56:18 VartiWork, if you see the history of that seller near Milano you see he offered one for 1 eur May 23 07:56:29 so he does auctions as well May 23 07:56:43 seems a small shop May 23 07:57:29 strange that he offered one for nothing, then selling them at that price May 23 07:57:46 might be worth asking him 10 euros then May 23 07:57:55 tutto perfetto ?? May 23 07:59:10 huh... I have not seen this May 23 07:59:44 "disonesto e poco serio. trucca le aste e non spedisce se vinci. da evitare !!!!!" May 23 07:59:54 another one? May 23 07:59:58 hah May 23 08:00:30 how come? I see his feedback is 100% positive May 23 08:00:58 just click on the 127 near his nick May 23 08:01:36 I guess it's rounded to 100 May 23 08:01:58 it's the only negative feedback, I won't trust that feedback mush May 23 08:02:00 much May 23 08:02:03 anyway, better to check the goods before I'd say :p May 23 08:02:28 I think it's older than one year so purged May 23 08:02:37 dunno exactly ebay rules May 23 08:02:41 might be May 23 08:03:06 http://spazio.libero.it/giura.design/ May 23 08:08:21 la zaurus criminale May 23 08:11:43 strunz May 23 08:12:03 thats it with my italian May 23 08:17:01 you speak italian better than many italian politicians May 23 08:25:39 ha, I liked to watch all the fellini movies, just with subs, and having learned latin as school, italian is not that hard May 23 08:26:25 I like the sound of it, but down here we do not get many from ITA, just some workers for the vintage, in the wineries. May 23 08:28:02 I almost studied at freie universität bozen in 2004.. May 23 08:28:33 many italians went to Australia after WWII, also from my city, since there was a lot of unenployment because of the war May 23 08:28:44 aha May 23 08:28:54 have you ever visited Italy? May 23 08:28:59 sure May 23 08:29:18 mostly in the alps May 23 08:30:14 * greguu is going to watch some twin peaks to get the mind off the IT world now............ May 23 08:30:19 nice... I'm seeing the Alps right now through my window :) I'm lucky that my company is in the countryside May 23 08:30:47 someone on another channel mentioned me the new Twin Peaks season May 23 08:30:51 * greguu sees the southern alps right now.. through the window... the very southern alpps May 23 08:32:00 those are the italian Alps that emigrated there in the 50s May 23 08:32:03 not sure it is as good as the old one, anyway. try the frankenstein kexecboot and the akita only 3.10.y tonight May 23 08:32:06 * VartiWork runs May 23 08:32:37 * greguu gone for the day May 23 08:32:58 "do you homework and don't even dare to switch on the TV to watch Twin Peaks!" :D May 23 08:33:38 ok... try listening to those phone pickup sounds while falling asleep, I'm curious of what will be the effects May 23 08:34:44 those Zaurus sounds might have a good effect to help debug kexec **** ENDING LOGGING AT Wed May 24 03:00:04 2017
