**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Tue Sep 15 02:59:57 2009 Sep 15 12:53:01 Hi Guys. I'm trying to compile the Kernel for the SheevaPlug, Is it necessary to enable all the other Marvell Kirkwood Implementations in the System Type Sep 15 12:53:54 sam_albuquerque: nope Sep 15 12:54:30 thanks lennert :) Sep 15 12:55:21 I'm trying to get the sisusb module into the kernel and found no guides on it when i googled. Sep 15 14:23:57 Any staff about ? Sep 15 15:03:30 guys, the sheevaPlug guide says there has to be 3 mtd partitions. and mtd0 is supposed to be uBoot and hence should not be formatted. But the one I have has only 2 and mtd0 is uImage.. Sep 15 15:05:54 sam_albuquerque: you can do as much as you need. You can even have 4 partitions (bootldr,env_vars,kernel,rootfs) Sep 15 15:06:15 sam_albuquerque: maybe your config expects a rootfs on an SD or USB Sep 15 15:06:35 IIRC the uboot one was ideally hidden? Sep 15 15:07:00 * zumbi does not remember default settings Sep 15 15:07:11 rootfs is on the mtd1 Sep 15 15:08:13 assuming Marvell changed the configs somewhere down the path and the document I read wasnt updated, mtd0 is the one I need to flash, right? Sep 15 15:08:16 sam_albuquerque: cat /proc/mtd_partitions (or similar) Sep 15 15:09:17 Zumbi: mtd0: 00400000 00020000 "uImage" & mtd1: 1fb00000 00020000 "rootfs" Sep 15 15:12:23 mtd0: 00100000 00020000 "u-boot" Sep 15 15:12:23 mtd1: 00400000 00020000 "uImage" Sep 15 15:12:25 mtd2: 1fb00000 00020000 "root" Sep 15 15:13:24 sam_albuquerque: i vaguely remember flashing u-boot, with a command called 'bubt' from within uboot Sep 15 15:15:15 so I just have to keep my fingers crossed and flash the uImage on to mtd0 and hope my uBoot doesn't vapour Sep 15 15:15:31 sam_albuquerque: for kernel and rootfs, i think it is recommended to use flash_eraseall and nandwrite (part of mtdutils) Sep 15 15:15:43 yes.. thats what the guide says Sep 15 15:16:27 sam_albuquerque: i guess, it will be fine if you flash a kernel into mtd0 Sep 15 15:16:54 cheers zumbi... I'll do it and hope for the best ;) Sep 15 15:16:54 sam_albuquerque: i use TFTP to pass the kernel and NFS for the rootfs, it is very comfortable to do development on it Sep 15 15:17:14 sam_albuquerque: in anycase, you have JTAG and a serial to recover it :) Sep 15 15:17:23 hmm.. that's a good idea too.. Sep 15 16:56:07 guys, what is the default arcNumber ? Sep 15 17:09:44 * sam_albuquerque leaving Sep 15 17:11:39 I can't get into the U-Boot serial environment Sep 15 17:11:42 I can load the module Sep 15 17:11:54 attach to the /dev/ttyusb[01] Sep 15 17:12:21 but I never get anything after hard or soft (shutdown -r now) reboots Sep 15 18:08:08 hello all. can anyone please point to instructions on installing angstrom Sep 16 01:32:42 damned globalscale support Sep 16 01:33:00 including the 2 mail i sent to sales@globalscaletechnlogies.com Sep 16 01:33:27 i have sent 4 mails (the latter 2 to support) Sep 16 01:33:33 no reply yet Sep 16 01:33:43 this evening i called them through skype another time Sep 16 01:34:28 (the call quality was horrible btw... and my english is quite clumsy, so it was a pain trying to communicate) Sep 16 01:35:16 but "htlin" (the spelling of the name i got, meh) says by tomorrow morning (9-10AM PST she confirmed me) i should get an email Sep 16 01:36:35 well... tomorrow we'll see... if not i could try again... and then i'll give up and try messing with it at the local LUG Sep 16 01:49:03 has anyone considered BFS for their sheeva? Sep 16 01:59:11 I can't get into the U-Boot serial environment Sep 16 01:59:15 I can load the module Sep 16 01:59:18 attach to the /dev/ttyusb[01] Sep 16 01:59:21 but I never get anything after hard or soft (shutdown -r now) reboots **** ENDING LOGGING AT Wed Sep 16 02:59:57 2009
