**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Tue Jun 10 02:59:56 2008 Jun 10 14:18:08 does someone know which package to install to get FTDI SIO suport on SlugOS (openslug) ? Jun 10 14:18:50 and What about. Maybe its better to use Debian on NSLU ? (Is there a pakage on Debian4NSlu to handle Usb Sticks (...) Jun 10 14:33:53 vi390: /usr/bin/ipkg list | grep -i ftdi Jun 10 14:38:48 eno: ej thanks :-) Jun 10 15:23:51 hmm, I thought installing the FTDI sio makes a Device available as /ttyUSB ? what If it does not appear, neither appears in dmesg output. But on a Ubuntu test station it is seen. Jun 10 15:25:46 slugOS is the Systzem Jun 10 15:26:25 is there another package necessary in order that it works Jun 10 15:28:31 vi390: Same as any other linux system -- have you googled? did you also include the usbserial module? Jun 10 15:33:06 mwester: shure I did Googling, I also have it working on Ubuntu also, but not on the slugOs. I have included the kernel-module-usbserial Jun 10 15:33:25 but maybe its the wrong. The module names seem to be little bit different like on ubuntu Jun 10 15:33:53 ono ubuntu I have Libusb, but this does not work somehow on SlugOs Jun 10 15:36:00 i have installed libusb-0.1-4. Strange thing is that the command "libusb" is not provided aith that. I think Iam missing something, and Did not find anything to come further Jun 10 15:39:00 libusb has nothing to do with the appearance of /dev/ttyUSBn Jun 10 15:39:27 ah ok, thats good to know. But it might show the devices ? Jun 10 15:39:59 libusb is a library; it does nothing without an application. Jun 10 15:40:26 What is it you are trying to do? You have a something that you are trying to attach to the NSLU2 -- is that a device with a serial port? Jun 10 15:42:32 yes correctly. First to test it, I have Looped the Serial Device. I have checkt it before on the ubuntu System, and its working. Jun 10 15:42:45 Its the FTDI sio chip Jun 10 15:42:54 ipkg install kernel-module-usbserial Jun 10 15:43:06 ipkg install kernel-module-ftdi-sio Jun 10 15:43:09 and want it first test with minicom. minicom is there but I can not get the FTDI driver to work mystericaly Jun 10 15:43:29 reboot the NSLU2 Jun 10 15:43:36 hmm yes , they are already installed. I check that again Jun 10 15:43:37 plug in the USB device Jun 10 15:43:53 you mean plugging it in afterwards ( i have already plugge it in) Jun 10 15:44:00 the device should be recognized, and /dev/ttyUSBn should be created. Jun 10 15:44:14 If it's plugged in at boot time, it should see it as well. Jun 10 15:45:15 hmm both pakacges are up to date. Iam rebooting again... Jun 10 15:45:38 Yes, exactly thats what I thought as you describe. Its like it worked in Ubuntu Jun 10 15:47:26 hmm okey rebootet it, and its only tty, ttySo and ttyS1 there Jun 10 15:47:38 no ttyUSBx Jun 10 15:47:40 Unplug the device. Jun 10 15:47:53 Use the "dmesg" command and note the last lines. Jun 10 15:48:00 plug int he device, and wait 10 seconds Jun 10 15:48:05 ok Jun 10 15:48:11 use the dmesg comamnd and note the new lines added. Jun 10 15:48:27 use pastebin to post that output. Jun 10 15:48:48 Also, add the output from "lsmod" to the pastebin Jun 10 15:52:51 http://nopaste.ch/84675e370ba8cf3.html Jun 10 15:53:52 just says new USB device found.. hmm on ubuntu it was recognized as FTDI as I remember Jun 10 15:56:53 http://nopaste.ch/a01595ff2e6c932.html Thats List_installed Jun 10 16:00:40 maybe there is an conflict with another module ? or there is still missing a module Jun 10 16:05:31 The modules aren't loaded. Jun 10 16:05:47 Remove the USB device, and type "depmod -a" on the SLugOS system. Jun 10 16:06:04 Then plug it back in , and see what dmesg says now. Jun 10 16:09:26 hmm . ok, now Its seen correctly. Jun 10 16:09:37 But Why... is there an explanation ? Jun 10 16:10:50 the post-install script didn't run depmod -a ? Jun 10 16:10:51 depmod activates the modules ? , but Why was it not activated on restarting, or on plugin, like on the ubuntu system ? Jun 10 16:11:15 Probably because the modules were pre-installed on ubuntu Jun 10 16:11:20 hmm , okey.. @ didnt run it. But it might have been supposed to do so ? Jun 10 16:12:01 well no, I had to install them also with apt-get (well the ftdi module, as I remember, the serial one was already there Jun 10 16:12:10 Yes, after installing modules, it is required that depmod -a be run -- if that's not happening, then it's either an ipkg problem or it's a module packaging problem. Jun 10 16:12:37 Ok, then on ubutu the depmod -a is automatically run by the installer. Jun 10 16:12:50 but well, okey, So if i have problems with modules not running i Just give it a depmod -a right ? Jun 10 16:13:30 hmm I was expecting an error then , when a command is not executed. But however, so I know It for the future.. Jun 10 16:13:40 Well, thats a good troubleshooting technique. It would be good to log that as a bug as well. Jun 10 16:14:03 you mean globaly log it somewhere .. Ok I will pack it in the wiki Jun 10 16:14:08 Why would the lack of running a command generate an error? There's no command run TO generate the error! Jun 10 16:14:20 No, wiki != bug reporting system. Jun 10 16:14:33 Send an email to the mailing list for now Jun 10 16:14:53 is it for shure that this is a "bug" ? Jun 10 16:14:59 absolutely. Jun 10 16:15:10 ok Ill mail it there Jun 10 16:15:16 thanks for helping Jun 10 16:15:16 installing a module without depmod -a is just silly. Jun 10 16:15:32 Thanks for helping find a bug! Jun 10 16:15:36 :-) Jun 10 16:19:23 mwester: can it be told which module did not run the depmod -a : the ftdi , or the kernel serial ?) Jun 10 16:20:32 Neither did, it seems. Jun 10 16:20:46 and can It be told, that it affects all systems which work with ipkg packages, or just slug os Jun 10 16:21:00 i have to find the right mailing list to file the bug Jun 10 16:21:08 thats why I aks Jun 10 16:21:11 ask Jun 10 16:21:43 Just send it to the nslu2-general list that's on the wiki. Jun 10 16:21:52 ok, thanks Jun 11 00:17:52 hi, anybody fluent witrh ARM assembly here? I'd like to understand the deal with 32bit immediates Jun 11 00:18:33 can I use a 32bit value in a ORR instruction? can I use a 16bit immediate? or, finally, how can I load a 32 or 16 bit mask in a register? Jun 11 02:10:22 hello, anyone here expert on slugos bringup using turnup scripts? Jun 11 02:12:44 problem: "turnup disk /dev/sda1 -t ext3" seems to work and copies the root fs onto external drive, but rebooting, /dev/sda1 is mounted in /media/sda1 Jun 11 02:44:23 RobNC: That syntax doesn't actually copy the rootfs. **** ENDING LOGGING AT Wed Jun 11 02:59:56 2008
