**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Tue Jun 01 02:59:57 2010 Jun 01 04:04:05 NightMonkey: why don't you download it? Jun 01 04:04:40 http://plugcomputer.org/index.php/us/resources/downloads?func=select&id=14 Jun 01 04:04:49 it is all there Jun 01 06:29:57 tinker-f595: AFAICT, I don't see intrusctions for how to bootstrap a "virgin" *plug? Jun 01 06:30:53 NightMonkey: i found this vid guide on updating or reflashing the uboot ... change a few params to your own needs Jun 01 06:30:53 http://hackaday.com/2010/01/20/sheevaplug-pbx/ Jun 01 06:32:01 jzaw_pl: Yah, I saw that, thanks. But I hope that GlobalScale will pitch in with how they do it. We'll see. Jun 01 06:33:29 id say its pretty similar Jun 01 06:33:36 ah but wait Jun 01 06:33:42 you said update via jtag Jun 01 06:33:55 that was update via eth but console on jtag Jun 01 06:34:09 ie using tftp Jun 01 06:34:17 useful to know never the less Jun 01 06:34:32 and shown graphically like that makes it look SIMPLE eh? Jun 01 06:40:30 Basically, if I brick the *plug (bad u-boot upgrade, cosmic ray, etc.), I want to know how to bring it back to life. Jun 01 06:40:56 And I'd guess GlobalScale has that info, in spades. ;) Jun 01 06:42:23 id hope so Jun 01 06:43:01 nothing like the flashing of the 5861 though Jun 01 06:43:14 where you had to short some smd pins on a chip to send it into tftp mode Jun 01 06:43:15 lol Jun 01 06:43:34 ;) Jun 01 06:43:43 imsmr pins 15 and 16 on the flash chip during powerup Jun 01 06:43:51 with a screwdriver or something Jun 01 06:44:29 Yikes. Now that's user friendly. Jun 01 06:53:43 yeah i ended up soldering a couple of wirewrap wires to them so i could just press a button Jun 01 06:54:02 but you know smd pins are about 1/2mm apart ! Jun 01 15:23:27 NightMonkey the information is there. Extract the files and read them Jun 01 16:22:07 Hi Jun 01 16:22:51 I'm doing embedded linux right now, but I have a question about uImage... Does the kernel have to be the same in some kind of way that it is related to the filesystem (or what it is called, like Angstrom) Jun 01 16:23:53 uh, i don't think i understand your question exactly, but the uImage doesn't have to be stored on the filesystem, you can burn it to the internal NAND and have uboot load it into memory Jun 01 16:24:16 I.E. burn to the nand, but have the root filesystem be on a SD card or something Jun 01 16:24:27 (by passing root=blah to the kernel when it loads) Jun 01 16:28:11 i know that Jun 01 16:28:20 but the problem is that i haven't build the uImage myself Jun 01 16:28:29 and I've newer could get the Angstrom running Jun 01 16:28:54 but now I've found another uImage and that works, except that the screen is moved a little, which probably is because the kernel has the wrong screen driver Jun 01 16:29:12 oh building a uimage is exactly the same as building a normal kernel, you just run 'make uImage' after 'make' Jun 01 16:32:31 mindThomas: you're putting Angstrom on a sheevaplug/guruplug? or what? Jun 01 16:34:28 no Jun 01 16:34:38 i'm making it for an ARM device Jun 01 16:34:44 ah Jun 01 16:34:49 but it should be very similar to the Sheevaplug Jun 01 22:10:43 I didnt even know this was here Jun 01 22:10:44 :|| Jun 01 22:13:24 ohai noidea` Jun 01 22:13:25 and Rubix Jun 01 22:13:28 ohai Jun 01 22:13:46 noidea`: this channel was here before #sheevaplug lol Jun 01 22:14:18 * noidea` should pay attention more Jun 01 22:18:26 did you see these Tootoot222 Jun 01 22:18:27 http://www.slashgear.com/toradex-robin-atom-cpu-on-credit-card-sized-mainboard-2735953/ Jun 01 22:18:37 atom 530 in a tiny pkg Jun 01 22:18:40 nice Jun 01 22:19:24 yeah Jun 01 22:19:29 that's sweet Jun 01 22:19:41 bah, here's what i call small: http://www.nxp.com/news/pressreleases/images/1701_hi.jpg Jun 01 22:24:49 nice Jun 01 22:24:51 what are they? Jun 01 22:24:59 and how the f do you connect to them? Jun 01 22:25:07 you could build one into an ethernet cable Jun 01 22:25:30 one end to your modem ... the other end to your switch Jun 01 23:02:40 jzaw_pl: http://www.nxp.com/news/content/file_1701.html Jun 02 00:18:23 Hey, folks. I'm trying to follow along with [[Installing Debian To Flash]], but I've hit a rather major hiccough. When I try to #Boot_with_USB_rootfs , it doesn't recognize the filesystem, even though the kernel says it's trying ext3 and another machine happily mounts the partition as such. Jun 02 00:19:27 Specifically, it says: No filesystem could mount root, tried: ext3 ext2 ext4 cramfs vfat msdos jfs Jun 02 00:19:27 Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(31,1) Jun 02 00:20:53 I'm using the default setup and the boot line as written. Jun 02 00:26:10 Aha, that may have fixed it. Jun 02 00:28:20 Hmm. Nearly. Jun 02 00:36:55 There we go. My bootcmd was squashing bootargs. **** ENDING LOGGING AT Wed Jun 02 02:59:57 2010
