Dec 22 12:52:34 <j24> rwhitby: ping
Dec 22 22:18:32 <rwhitby> j24: pong
Dec 22 23:22:56 <j24> rwhitby: ping
Dec 22 23:41:02 <rwhitby> j24: jacques says he never had BDI setup for ixp4xx, he only had PPC.
Dec 22 23:41:23 <rwhitby> and his jacques at nslu2-linux.org email works, but he says he never received an email from you at that address.
Dec 22 23:43:59 <j24> rwhitby: I've manage to have a config now
Dec 22 23:44:17 <j24> rwhitby: I've nearly finish to update the u-boot port
Dec 22 23:44:42 <j24> rwhitby: I'll finish to add usb support soon
Dec 22 23:45:52 <j24> rwhitby: so I'll usefull to boot from a usbkey kernel include
Dec 22 23:46:21 <rwhitby> awesome.  that will be very handy.
Dec 22 23:46:33 <rwhitby> I will have some time to test over the christmas break.
Dec 22 23:46:53 <rwhitby> usb and network support are the key two features.
Dec 22 23:46:59 <j24> I'm off during christmas break
Dec 22 23:47:26 <j24> I'm in Japan for Vacancy
Dec 22 23:47:50 <rwhitby> is your current work in svn or git somewhere?
Dec 22 23:48:16 <j24> svn? never
Dec 22 23:48:22 <j24> git 
Dec 22 23:48:29 <j24> but not the usb support
Dec 22 23:49:00 <rwhitby> if you can point me to what you have before you leave, I can build and test over the holidays
Dec 22 23:49:01 <j24> I'll try to find time to push the new nslu2 update
Dec 22 23:49:54 <mwester> with usb support, it might work on the dsmg600 as well... which would be interesting as the dsg600's bootloader is rather limited.
Dec 22 23:50:05 <rwhitby> indeed
Dec 22 23:50:12 <rwhitby> nas100d too
Dec 22 23:50:17 <rwhitby> fsg3 too
Dec 22 23:50:20 <j24> dsmg600??
Dec 22 23:50:29 <rwhitby> revA
Dec 22 23:50:33 <j24> & co??
Dec 22 23:51:04 <rwhitby> all the firmware target devices on nslu2-linux.org in the left sidebar
Dec 22 23:51:55 * mwester makes a note to actually confirm tha the 20-pin header on the DSMG600 is a JTAG header.
Dec 22 23:52:02 <rwhitby> it is
Dec 22 23:52:12 <mwester> :)
Dec 22 23:52:27 <j24> photo?
Dec 22 23:52:42 <rwhitby> I've done openocd halfish on dsmg600
Dec 22 23:52:55 <rwhitby> dsmg600revA is EOL
Dec 22 23:53:59 <rwhitby> j24 all photos are in the nslu2-linux.org gallery
Dec 22 23:57:27 <j24> rwhitby: where?
Dec 22 23:57:57 <rwhitby> http://www.nslu2-linux.org/gallery/
Dec 22 23:58:31 <rwhitby> http://www.nslu2-linux.org/gallery/dsmg600
Dec 23 00:00:27 <j24> the dsmg600 have mini-pci
Dec 23 00:03:18 <rwhitby> yep
Dec 23 00:03:21 <j24> the revb is a Marvell
Dec 23 00:03:25 <rwhitby> note that RevB is ppc based
Dec 23 00:03:42 <rwhitby> 8241 I think
Dec 23 00:03:42 <j24> Motorola so
Dec 23 00:04:13 <j24> not too difficult to have u-boot on it too
Dec 23 00:04:29 <rwhitby> yes, but none of us here have that device :-)
Dec 23 00:06:19 <j24> is one of you try to have the RV042?
Dec 23 00:06:23 <rwhitby> usb and network would make u-boot the stand-out leader for ixp4xx bootloaders
Dec 23 00:06:44 <rwhitby> I have an rv042 at work, but cannot hack it cause it is our main internet connection :-)
Dec 23 00:07:18 <j24> rwhitby: remember I'll only work on firstage bootloader
Dec 23 00:07:52 <rwhitby> j24: understood, but current first stage also works as second stage ;-)
Dec 23 00:07:54 <j24> if you wish second stage you will need to do it yourself
Dec 23 00:09:36 <j24> the rv042 is more interesting for because I can try to add PCI
Dec 23 00:09:49 <j24> or the WRV54G
Dec 23 00:10:24 <mwester> I have an rv042 as well, but can't hack it for the same reason!
Dec 23 00:10:42 <rwhitby> j24 fsg3 has miniPCI
Dec 23 00:10:47 <rwhitby> and are still on sale
Dec 23 00:10:53 <rwhitby> disk too
Dec 23 00:11:05 <j24> to expansive
Dec 23 00:12:28 <j24> but interesting
Dec 23 00:12:44 <j24> usb, wireless, esata
Dec 23 00:13:02 <rwhitby> it runs my home network connection
Dec 23 00:13:33 <j24> rwhitby: do you have photo of the hardware?
Dec 23 00:13:43 <rwhitby> should be in the same gallery
Dec 23 00:14:12 <j24> we see nothing
Dec 23 00:14:31 <j24> hub in the middle
Dec 23 00:14:49 <rwhitby> http://www.nslu2-linux.org/gallery/album01
Dec 23 00:15:02 <rwhitby> http://www.nslu2-linux.org/gallery/FSG3-Hacking is my hacks
Dec 23 00:15:27 <rwhitby> look at the sub-albums of http://www.nslu2-linux.org/gallery/hardware
Dec 23 00:15:49 <rwhitby> (pages 2 and 3)
Dec 23 00:16:20 <j24> rwhitby: yes but we can not see the pcb
Dec 23 00:16:40 <rwhitby> http://www.nslu2-linux.org/gallery/album01/IMG_3440
Dec 23 00:16:50 <rwhitby> http://www.nslu2-linux.org/gallery/album01/IMG_3439
Dec 23 00:18:42 <j24> do you found the JTAG?
Dec 23 00:18:55 <rwhitby> yes
Dec 23 00:19:02 <rwhitby> freecom are very open with connectors
Dec 23 00:19:28 <rwhitby> http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/FSG3/HomePage
Dec 23 00:19:53 <rwhitby> http://www.openfsg.com/images/2/24/FSG_JTAG-Connector.pdf
Dec 23 00:20:34 <j24> the garber extract nice
Dec 23 00:21:02 <j24> how do you manage to have access to it?
Dec 23 00:25:15 <j24> rwhitby: If I found a brake one I'll try to hack it
Dec 23 00:25:24 <rwhitby> j24: freecom sent it at our request
Dec 23 00:26:07 <j24> rwhitby: otherwise I'll continue to work on the nslu2 and maybe on the rv042
Dec 23 00:26:30 <j24> rwhitby: nice to freecom
Dec 23 00:26:43 <rwhitby> if you do usb and network, then we can extend to support those two things on other boards.
Dec 23 00:27:28 <j24> rwhitby: the network is already ready but help to update the implementation will be nice
Dec 23 00:27:41 <rwhitby> I also have 3 "broken" fsg3 boards, which may just be broken bootloaders (i.e. the leds still flash, but nothing on serial)
Dec 23 00:27:54 <rwhitby> freecom sent me these untested from their lab
Dec 23 00:28:31 <j24> rwhitby: freecom are really nice
Dec 23 00:28:54 <rwhitby> unfortunately, my contact there left, so they are not as nice any more.
Dec 23 00:29:03 <j24> :(
Dec 23 00:30:54 <j24> rwhitby: for u-boot the idea is to remove the current intel npe code and import the new linux driver
Dec 23 00:31:12 <rwhitby> excellent.
Dec 23 00:31:19 <j24> rwhitby: to reduce binary size and have someting cleaner
Dec 23 00:31:24 <rwhitby> since that's what we use on nslu2-linux and openwrt and debian
Dec 23 00:31:38 <j24> rwhitby: but I've no time to do it :(
Dec 23 00:32:11 <j24> rwhitby: I've just enough time add a board or 2 per month
Dec 23 00:32:25 <j24> not to do such big cleanning
Dec 23 00:32:42 <j24> rwhitby: if you known someone that can help it will be nice
Dec 23 00:32:52 <rwhitby> I do not.
Dec 23 00:33:20 <j24> :(
Dec 23 00:35:34 <j24> will you only worl on ixp?
Dec 23 00:38:15 <rwhitby> I have very little time to work on anything at the moment :-(
Dec 23 00:38:47 <rwhitby> time for my work christmas lunch now :-)
Dec 23 00:39:16 <j24> time to do christmas shopping
Dec 23 00:51:43 <CIA-9> 03bzhou * r9346 10optware/trunk/ (Makefile make/sispmctl.mk): sispmctl: Control software for the SiS-PM intiligent power supply, added & promoted
