Jan 03 11:19:33 eFfeM: depends on the distro you're running Jan 03 11:20:01 angstrom Jan 03 11:20:18 it doesn't use apex as second stage loader? Jan 03 11:20:45 (no-one in here is likely to know anything about angstrom, since it doesn't work out of the box) Jan 03 11:21:05 could be, i don't know about apex, thought it was a replacement for redboot Jan 03 11:21:10 for most nslu2-linux distros, we use apex as second stage loader, and it provides the cmdline to the kernel Jan 03 11:21:11 how can i get into apex ? Jan 03 11:21:25 serial port Jan 03 11:21:41 cable broken :-( Jan 03 11:21:45 or use apex-env from userland to edit the apex environment Jan 03 11:22:12 will try Jan 03 11:26:35 wrt apex; there is not much info on the wiki Jan 03 11:28:00 utsl Jan 03 11:28:29 eFfeM: why not just use the latest slugos 5.2 alpha? Jan 03 11:28:35 yeah, but it is not always easy to find those things Jan 03 11:28:43 it's eabi, and has turnup. mwester is building it. Jan 03 11:29:06 guess i indeed have to move to slugos Jan 03 11:29:24 actually i decided to go to angstrom as step towards moving to a beagle board Jan 03 11:29:53 slugos and angstrom are virtually the same from a command-line point of view Jan 03 11:30:05 and for some reason I always try to do things differently, story of my life :-) Jan 03 11:30:36 grab some food back in 15 minutes Jan 03 11:43:42 back Jan 03 14:09:10 rwhitby: do you test the last nslu2 u-boot? Jan 03 16:23:10 rwester, heard from rwhitby that you were working on openslug 5.2; i've flashed this onto my slug and after that noticed that it uses opk and that there are no opk packages in the feed yet, is this known (and as a workaround is it possible to install ipk packages ?

Jan 03 16:48:43 eFfeM: there is no change in the package format; opkg uses .ipk packages. Jan 03 17:13:49 mwester: i think i tried it and got a message about architecture not defined or something like that Jan 03 17:14:19 Then the feeds don't (yet) have the eabi packages,I suspect. Jan 03 17:15:54 no this was a package that i build myself maybe the problem was something in my build Jan 03 17:18:15 er, you are aware of the oabi/eabi thing, right? Jan 03 17:30:59 mwester, oabi/eabi: i've heard about it but that's about it. need to dig into this. it is quite possible that I made a mistake along the line; this was not really a super clean test (building an OE distro from scratch is pretty time consuming) Jan 03 21:04:01 j24: I didn't see an email from you with location of nslu2 updates for u-boot, so have not tested anything. Jan 03 21:29:40 rwhitby: I tell you on the git branch mm Jan 03 21:46:59 hi everyone Jan 03 22:26:46 j24: that one has network and usb support? Jan 03 22:43:58 rwhitby: usb is in merge Jan 03 22:44:07 rwhitby: maybe next release Jan 03 22:45:41 rwhitby: the pci need to be fix first Jan 03 22:48:23 rwhitby: do you known if the ixp usb device is present on the nslu2? Jan 03 22:48:58 it is - the nslu2-linux.org wiki has details on where to access it on the board Jan 03 22:58:16 rwhitby: not really Jan 03 23:09:49 j24: http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/HowTo/AddDeviceSideUSBPort Jan 03 23:10:54 R130 and R131 Jan 03 23:12:56 rwhitby: I've found now Jan 03 23:15:38 rwhitby: My idea is to add serial support Jan 03 23:16:35 usb host -> usb->rs232 cable -> bootloader console would be great Jan 03 23:16:47 no need to alter hardware Jan 03 23:17:15 rwhitby: maybe but I not interestd in at this time Jan 03 23:19:21 rwhitby: we other dev we work on the usb tty and net support **** ENDING LOGGING AT Sun Jan 04 02:59:57 2009
