**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Wed Mar 14 03:00:01 2018 Mar 14 09:36:46 Maxdamantus: i'm getitng a new sd//micro-sd reader, ... thankyou so much! Mar 14 09:37:20 Maxdamantus: mmc 1:1 0x86008000 /k/kernel_2.6.28.10-power53.u -- is that sd-card or emmc partition??? Mar 14 09:37:33 Maxdamantus: i want to be able to load the power-kernel file from sd-card Mar 14 09:56:24 enyc: 1:1 is the first eMMC partition. Mar 14 09:56:41 enyc: the SD card seems to use device number 0, so the first SD partition would be 0:1 Mar 14 09:57:21 and the "/k/" part is just the directory on my boot filesystem that has kernels in it. Mar 14 09:58:46 I think the 0x86008000 part is the memory address that u-boot will store the kernel at. I don't entirely understand how that part works. I think that's just the address that the default boot command uses, so I use that too. Mar 14 09:58:58 Maxdamantus: can you give me a "complete" boot.txt input file to create boot.scr from, in that case? assume im putting the standard kernel power uimage on root of sd-card 1st (vfat) partition. Mar 14 09:59:41 "bootm 0x86008000" equally specifies where in memory to 'boot' from if i'm not mistaken Mar 14 09:59:47 hola ceene- Mar 14 10:00:16 enyc: yes, I think that's the case. Mar 14 10:01:03 Maxdamantus: when my replacement sd-card reader turns up i'll give it a go later etc. Mar 14 10:01:03 setenv bootmenu_0 kernel_2.6.28.10-power53='setenv setup_omap_atag 1; setenv bootcmd '\''fatload mmc 0:1 0x86008000 /kernel_2.6.28.10-power53.u; bootm 0x86008000'\''; boot'; bootmenu Mar 14 10:01:49 I think that should open a bootmenu with the first entry loading /kernel_2.6.28.10-power53.u from the first partition on the SD card, which is assumed to be FAT. Mar 14 10:02:09 * enyc getting newer sd-card reader that goes into USB-micro host-mode-socket -or- usb A-plug, and has separate SD / micro-sd ports on either side ... Mar 14 10:02:57 Don't you just have some other random device that lets you read/write SD cards? Mar 14 10:03:19 the KP will be on the Leste SD card, or another? because if it's the same card, why don't you just boot into Leste and install u-boot-tools there for mkimage ... Mar 14 10:03:26 I sometimes use my old music player. Mar 14 10:04:01 Maxdamantus: im suspecting my full-size to micro sd-card adapter is broken ;p Mar 14 10:04:10 Maxdamantus: otherwise, yes i have a few different cardreaders Mar 14 10:05:00 sicelo: im not yet sorted with wifi on leste ... ui being worked on last i checked Mar 14 10:05:07 Ah. Mar 14 10:05:28 anyway, getting new sd-card widget as above be useful anyway Mar 14 10:05:56 then i can sort out what cards/aadpters/etc are not working ;p Mar 14 10:06:23 obviously the solution is to make a host-mode port work with a usb-floppy-drive and arrange booting from floppy-disk Mar 14 10:08:39 I was booting my router using a floppy disk until about 2 years ago (when I stopped using it) Mar 14 10:25:08 enyc: there's wpa_supplicant, since day 1 Mar 14 10:41:44 sicelo: right yes, which can be interest manually, no ui yet, coming via icd2 interface apparently =) Mar 14 10:44:24 just regular kernel networking as on your pc/laptop Mar 14 12:16:28 RIP Stephen Hawking Mar 14 16:55:47 Maxdamantus: sd-card mounted ;p Mar 14 17:02:35 .u image created ;p Mar 14 17:04:58 boot.scr created Mar 14 17:06:50 hrrm not working Mar 14 17:07:00 rebootinf itself then loading leste Mar 14 17:09:12 "run sdboot" mentions boot.scr then vanishes off the screen quickly Mar 14 17:13:35 * enyc cheated, renamed the leste kernel images, copied zImage-2.6.28.10-power53.u to "uImage" Mar 14 17:13:49 then run sdboot, then get menu again, then select image, ..... ;p Mar 14 17:24:39 * enyc got kerenl image in bootmenu properly yay Mar 14 17:32:26 shouldn't the addresses in the setenv command be the same as in the mkimage? Maxdamantus Mar 14 17:32:32 just asking Mar 14 18:23:19 https://www.theguardian.com/science/2018/mar/14/stephen-hawking-obituary Mar 14 18:47:53 sicelo: dunno. Works for me without them being the same. Mar 14 18:52:09 ok. interesting Mar 14 20:45:27 DocScrutinizer05 Thanks for the link to Stephen Hawking's obituary. I just listened, at the TV news, to a superb talk by him (I suppose with synthetic voice), quite short, but very pregnant, and incredibly encouraging towards research, in particular since it comes from a man with such strong physical limits - but whose mind has managed to overcome many limits in our physical knowledge. Mar 14 21:58:39 * Maxdamantus needs to figure out why 3G works so crappily on his N900 now that his provider has shut down 2G. Mar 14 22:02:23 i think it's just old and the 3G connection capabilities of the N900 are out of date Mar 14 22:10:26 Well, 2G has usually been fine. Mar 14 22:11:37 but on 3G it will ocassionally disconnect for a few minutes, or maybe indefinitely (until I actually force it to reconnect by getting it to switch protocols, or killing csd) Mar 14 23:09:39 pkill9: as long as 3G works, I don't miss LTE much **** ENDING LOGGING AT Thu Mar 15 03:00:01 2018
