Aug 19 17:00:11 <Thell> Howdy ho all.
Aug 19 17:37:24 <akk> What's the best way to get a new kernel onto a guruplug? Google is giving me wildly varying answers.
Aug 19 17:45:43 <bkero> akk: compile it on the plug, transfer off
Aug 19 17:45:53 <bkero> upload with tftp, boot :)
Aug 19 17:45:56 <bkero> At least that's what I do
Aug 19 17:46:47 <akk> So you have it already on the plug, but you need to tftp it from some other machine to install it? That's the part I'm confused about.
Aug 19 17:47:57 <Kuifje111> akk: maybe you could use the kernels from this site: http://sheeva.with-linux.com/sheeva/
Aug 19 17:48:28 <Kuifje111> you just need to run a script if you do it via that site and then reboot.
Aug 19 17:49:46 <akk> Do those kernels have GPIO? That's the only reason I need a new kernel.
Aug 19 17:50:33 <Kuifje111> I have no idea.
Aug 19 20:25:02 <ashwinv> is there any implementation of grid computing in plugcomputers ???
Aug 19 20:28:06 <Thell> ashwinv: fantastic question, and something I personally want to see fully implemented!
Aug 19 20:28:27 <Thell> Although, I must admit I am not aware of any preoject as of yet.
Aug 19 20:28:42 <bkero> I've got the time to implement that, but not the hardware.  My work has an open source project called pydra.
Aug 19 20:28:51 <bkero> I don't have that many plugs though. ;)
Aug 19 20:29:20 <Thell> pydra... cute :D
Aug 19 20:29:49 <ashwinv> bkero:will you please elaborate your work(pydra) ??
Aug 19 20:30:41 <MostAwesomeDude> ashwinv: I'm currently an active Pydra dev. What do you want to know?
Aug 19 20:30:49 <bkero> MostAwesomeDude: lol
Aug 19 20:31:23 <MostAwesomeDude> bkero: Oh hai.
Aug 19 20:31:41 <Thell> what's the Pydra synopsis?
Aug 19 20:33:14 <MostAwesomeDude> Pydra is a parallel computing framework written in Python, with an emphasis on speedy development and deployment.
Aug 19 20:33:40 <Thell> gotcha.  perfect :)
Aug 19 20:34:18 <Thell> hey!  anyone go to the PlugIn event?
Aug 19 20:35:04 <ashwinv> well I am newbie in plugcomputer and I want to contribute to the project related to grid+plug.I want to know, what kind of development is done till now it
Aug 19 20:38:02 <bkero> If me + MostAwesomeDude can get a mess of plugs I'm sure we could come up with something
Aug 19 20:40:17 <MostAwesomeDude> bkero: I still have that Marvell dude's card. He said he'd send me stuff if I got in contact with him...
Aug 19 20:41:04 <bkero> MostAwesomeDude: contact plz
Aug 19 20:41:33 <MostAwesomeDude> bkero: I'll PM you when I get home from work.
Aug 19 21:36:14 <rektide> the old arm-linux server used to be a badass rack of marvell discovery units
Aug 19 21:36:32 <rektide> i think they migrated to something else and decomissioned the old page detailing the setup
Aug 19 21:36:35 <rektide> rather sad
Aug 19 21:36:58 <rektide> believe it was 16 core or something.  not exactly grid scale, but hey, the only known in production plug like thing out there
Aug 19 22:13:47 <bkero> rektide: At work we have a cluster of iPaqs and NSLU2s
Aug 19 22:13:50 <bkero> and blackfins
Aug 20 01:01:43 <cpg> slick
Aug 20 02:50:28 <akk> Anybody succeeded in upgrading the kernel on a guruplug?
