Jun 06 03:15:45 <joshin> Thanks rwhitby.  That should be fine.

Jun 06 15:36:17 <Dsbeerf> morning, wich slug can be running on an x86 ?
Jun 06 15:42:23 <ShadowJK> The question doesn't make sense...
Jun 06 15:42:34 <Reedy> the slug is an ARM processor...
Jun 06 15:47:35 <Dsbeerf> yeah but there a bunch of slug
Jun 06 15:47:41 <Dsbeerf> you have unslug openslug slugos etc
Jun 06 15:48:17 <Dsbeerf> and anyway there is a some arm emulator so i can be running on it right ?
Jun 06 15:53:58 <Reedy> maybe using qemu...
Jun 06 15:54:15 <Dsbeerf> yeah 
Jun 06 15:54:20 <Dsbeerf> that what i wanna do using qemu-arm
Jun 06 15:54:35 <Dsbeerf> but the file is a .bin and not an image any idea on how to do it ?
Jun 06 15:54:35 <Reedy> "ARM development boards (Integrator/CP and Versatile/PB)"
Jun 06 16:00:19 <mwester> Nobody has customized Qemu to emulate the NSLU2 hardware.  Neither has anyone customized any of the slug firmware to run on the hardware that *is* emulated by qemu.
Jun 06 16:00:47 <mwester> So the answer is, no it is not possible to run any slug firmware as-is on qemu.
Jun 06 16:07:09 <Dsbeerf> yeah in theory but if you do an image of an nslu2 and run this image on qemu-arm is supposed to work no ? or if you compile the source for an x86 it can work no ? i dont understand that part.
Jun 06 16:10:06 <mwester> Dsbeerf:  No.  For one example, qemu-arm does not emulate the same network controller that is present on the NSLU2.
Jun 06 16:10:46 <ShadowJK> Is there any reason you want to run it in an emulator?
Jun 06 16:11:16 <mwester> Dsbeerf:  If you compile the source for x86, it will work -- within the limitations of the hardware. For example, x86 systems do not have a "sysconf" partition, so firmwares that use that will fail there.
Jun 06 16:11:58 <mwester> But why would you compile the source for x86?  There are already many linux distros for x86, the last thing needed is yet another one!
Jun 06 16:12:42 <ShadowJK> :)
Jun 06 16:14:25 <Dsbeerf> i wanna build a simple nas
