Jan 02 22:27:54 <basicxman> Can anybody help with http://plugcomputer.org/plugforum/index.php?topic=4347.msg16191#msg16191
Jan 02 22:30:00 <basicxman> Attempting to restore SheevePlug to factory default...
Jan 02 22:50:18 <Tootoot222> basicxman: what state is the sheevaplug in when you try to run the commands?
Jan 02 22:50:51 <Tootoot222> also what distro is your host
Jan 02 22:51:21 <Tootoot222> and you should be able to run the x86 binary without problems; most 64bit distros have 32bit compatility layers
Jan 02 22:55:04 <Tootoot222> basicxman: i also (personally) reccommend connecting to the serial console with screen: sudo screen /dev/ttyUSB0 115200
Jan 02 22:55:22 <Tootoot222> but if PuTTY works for you that's fine too
Jan 02 22:56:56 <kerio> screen fucks up sometimes
Jan 02 22:57:00 <kerio> minicom ftw
Jan 02 22:57:23 <Tootoot222> i've only had problems with screen when one is already open and you try to open a second
Jan 02 22:57:35 <basicxman> Tootoot222: Host is Ubuntu 10.10, SheevaPlug is just booting up.
Jan 02 23:02:50 <Tootoot222> basicxman: if you run: sudo ./openocd/openocd -f openocd/config/board/sheevaplug.cfg -s openocd/config/
Jan 02 23:02:57 <Tootoot222> and then: telnet localhost 4444
Jan 02 23:05:45 <basicxman> Tootoot222: http://pastie.org/1424329
Jan 02 23:06:24 <Tootoot222> ok, from that prompt issue: halt
Jan 02 23:06:58 <basicxman> http://pastie.org/1424331
Jan 02 23:07:13 <Tootoot222> ok, good
Jan 02 23:07:30 <kerio> why don't you termcast it?
Jan 02 23:08:21 <kerio> basicxman: script -t 0 >(cat ~/.termcast_login - | nc noway.ratry.ru 31337 > /dev/null)
Jan 02 23:08:36 <kerio> put "hello name password\n" in .termcast_login
Jan 02 23:09:06 <kerio> and then whatever you do from inside that shell goes on termcast.org
Jan 02 23:09:20 <kerio> so we can see
Jan 02 23:09:55 <basicxman> Okay
Jan 02 23:10:10 <kerio> (\n is a newline of course)
Jan 02 23:10:50 <basicxman> I'm not that much of a noob ;)
Jan 02 23:10:56 <kerio> oh wait that's the syntax for bsd scipt
Jan 02 23:10:59 <kerio> *script
Jan 02 23:11:14 <basicxman> :|
Jan 02 23:11:26 <kerio> meh, see if it works, if it doesn't find a way to make it flush for each character event
Jan 02 23:11:37 <kerio> that (-t 0)
Jan 02 23:11:42 <basicxman> Yes script started
Jan 02 23:11:49 <kerio> yeah but i can't see anything
Jan 02 23:11:52 <kerio> do you have a shell there?
Jan 02 23:12:00 <kerio> (also, did you really use "name" as your name?)
Jan 02 23:12:05 <basicxman> >.> xD
Jan 02 23:12:13 <basicxman> k self.noob += 1
Jan 02 23:12:35 <basicxman> Alternatively, lemme put up a quick SSH server + tmux.
Jan 02 23:12:40 <kerio> ok, remove the -t 0 and add the -f
Jan 02 23:12:48 <kerio> yeah, it works
Jan 02 23:12:56 <kerio> it should, at least
Jan 02 23:13:01 <kerio> (kill that shell)
Jan 02 23:14:22 <basicxman> SSH server almost setup.
Jan 02 23:14:25 <kerio> ...
Jan 02 23:14:32 <kerio> why?
Jan 02 23:14:33 <basicxman> It's well, easier
Jan 02 23:14:33 <kerio> :|
Jan 02 23:14:36 <kerio> it's really not
Jan 02 23:14:40 <kerio> you just need to change one option
Jan 02 23:14:44 <basicxman> lol okay
Jan 02 23:14:48 <kerio> -f
Jan 02 23:14:48 <basicxman> lemme get a termcast account then
Jan 02 23:14:51 <kerio> instead of -t0
Jan 02 23:14:58 <kerio> there's no need to register, actually
Jan 02 23:15:04 <kerio> the first password you use "registers" your account
Jan 02 23:15:35 <basicxman> Ah.
Jan 02 23:15:38 <basicxman> Thanks
Jan 02 23:15:52 <kerio> it's like screencasting, except for text :D
Jan 02 23:15:59 <basicxman> :D
Jan 02 23:16:29 <basicxman> Okay, done, user basicxman
Jan 02 23:16:33 <kerio> yup, i see you
Jan 02 23:16:36 <kerio> try doing stuff
Jan 02 23:16:40 <kerio> (telnet termcast.org to watch)
Jan 02 23:16:58 <basicxman> Ack?
Jan 02 23:17:07 <kerio> dunno, i never used openocd
Jan 02 23:17:09 <kerio> :3
Jan 02 23:17:17 <kerio> Tootoot222: we have a video feed
Jan 02 23:17:17 <basicxman> >< Tootoot222: Your turn! :D
Jan 02 23:17:19 <basicxman> kerio: thanks
Jan 02 23:19:36 <kerio> Tootoot222: *poke*
Jan 02 23:21:13 <Tootoot222> uh ok
Jan 02 23:21:16 <Tootoot222> lets see
Jan 02 23:21:30 <Tootoot222> so you're trying to..?
Jan 02 23:22:01 <basicxman> Well I did the halt like you told me to
Jan 02 23:22:03 <basicxman> What next? :P
Jan 02 23:22:21 <Tootoot222> right but like, your goal is to burn the rootfs to the nand? or what
Jan 02 23:22:26 <Tootoot222> reflash uboot?
Jan 02 23:22:27 <Tootoot222> update uboot
Jan 02 23:22:28 <Tootoot222> ?
Jan 02 23:22:41 <kerio> Tootoot222: telnet termcast.org
Jan 02 23:22:45 <kerio> :D
Jan 02 23:22:45 <basicxman> Restore to factory settings
Jan 02 23:22:51 <basicxman> w/ OS
Jan 02 23:23:07 <kerio> ubuntu 9.04? :|
Jan 02 23:23:27 <basicxman> I was going to do with Gentoo but at this point I just want an OS xD
Jan 02 23:23:44 <basicxman> I'm only using it as a Git server :S
Jan 02 23:23:53 <basicxman> Perhaps some FTP
Jan 02 23:24:16 <kerio> install squeeze
Jan 02 23:24:18 <kerio> (debian)
Jan 02 23:24:35 <kerio> you don't even need openocd, you just need a tftp server on your machine
Jan 02 23:24:38 <basicxman> That's what came with it originally correct?
Jan 02 23:24:50 <kerio> no, the default is ubuntu jaunty
Jan 02 23:24:53 <kerio> which sucks
Jan 02 23:24:57 <basicxman> xD
Jan 02 23:25:21 <Tootoot222> basicxman: gentoo is awesomeness
Jan 02 23:25:26 <kerio> it's not :<
Jan 02 23:25:29 <kerio> especially on a sheevaplug
Jan 02 23:25:31 <Tootoot222> espically if you add more gentoo boxes on the same network
Jan 02 23:25:33 <kerio> (compiling and stuff)
Jan 02 23:25:37 <kerio> oh right, distcc
Jan 02 23:25:38 <Tootoot222> for compiling and sudff
Jan 02 23:25:40 <kerio> still sucks
Jan 02 23:25:40 <Tootoot222> ;D
Jan 02 23:26:02 <basicxman> haha
Jan 02 23:26:38 <basicxman> Hmm hmm, I really like emerge ;)
Jan 02 23:34:45 <Tootoot222> soooo, anything in particular i'm meant to be helping with?
Jan 02 23:35:14 <basicxman> Tootoot222: Nope, I thought I had bricked this thing or w/e
Jan 02 23:35:39 <Tootoot222> nope, not bricked
Jan 02 23:35:45 <basicxman> Yar, silly me.
Jan 02 23:36:11 <kerio> basicxman: i recommend http://www.openplug.org/plugwiki/index.php/Installing_Debian_To_Flash
Jan 02 23:36:13 <Tootoot222> really the only way i could think of bricking it is if you ran an unpowered usb drive on it and blew up the psu
Jan 02 23:36:21 <kerio> Tootoot222: that's not bricking
Jan 02 23:36:21 <Tootoot222> or spilled your soda on it XD
Jan 02 23:36:23 <kerio> that's blowing up
Jan 02 23:36:29 <kerio> and you can still fix it
Jan 02 23:36:30 <Tootoot222> kerio: exactly ;D
Jan 02 23:36:35 <kerio> brick = the device is a brick
Jan 02 23:36:48 <Tootoot222> there's really nothing you can do in software to permenatly break it
Jan 02 23:36:58 <basicxman> ><
Jan 02 23:37:08 <basicxman> Googling-induced fear
Jan 02 23:40:41 <kerio> nah, the jtag port is there for a reason :)
Jan 02 23:41:25 <basicxman> After building robots with FPGA's and stuff, JTAG ports are generally scary.
Jan 02 23:41:29 <basicxman> :D
Jan 02 23:45:26 <kerio> nah, openocd is solid, afaik
Jan 02 23:48:53 <kerio> basicxman: a guy i know ported python to FPGAs
Jan 02 23:49:03 <kerio> an old-ish version, but still
Jan 02 23:51:03 <basicxman> Oh lord
Jan 02 23:51:18 <basicxman> He hated himself didn't he?
Jan 02 23:52:09 <kerio> i think he had fun
Jan 02 23:52:25 <kerio> also there were no floats
Jan 02 23:53:16 <basicxman> haha
Jan 03 00:20:52 <basicxman> Anybody tried a guruplug?
Jan 03 00:26:28 <basicxman> lol @ Dad: "You're not plugging that silly white box in that always screws up our network are you?"
Jan 03 00:32:00 <basicxman> Problem: http://pastie.org/1424492
Jan 03 00:39:40 <basicxman> kerio: ping
Jan 03 01:13:49 <Tootoot222> basicxman: i have a guruplug as well as a sheevaplug
Jan 03 01:14:47 <basicxman> Tootoot222: How is it?
Jan 03 01:15:58 <Tootoot222> basicxman: great, once i got rid of the fan by constructing a heatsink
Jan 03 01:16:43 <basicxman> ><
Jan 03 01:17:34 <Tootoot222> http://i53.tinypic.com/2v2cvhk.jpg
Jan 03 01:17:34 <Tootoot222> http://i55.tinypic.com/16k3tyb.jpg
Jan 03 01:17:44 <Tootoot222> =D
Jan 03 01:18:24 <Tootoot222> http://i55.tinypic.com/2h5nu55.jpg
Jan 03 01:18:31 <Tootoot222> http://i54.tinypic.com/23wkxzt.jpg
Jan 03 01:20:04 <basicxman> hahah, that's one giant sucker there
Jan 03 01:21:20 <Tootoot222> yes, but i can touch the bottom plate without suffering burns ;D
Jan 03 01:21:33 <basicxman> So I think my issue is not the tftp server, but the downloading to the filesystem
Jan 03 01:21:56 <basicxman> lolol, you ever going to enclose it?
Jan 03 01:22:35 <Tootoot222> probably not; it would likely negate the effects of the fins, since they rely on the hotter air going up
Jan 03 01:23:28 <basicxman> Vents? :S
Jan 03 01:23:56 <basicxman> Is it safe to power cycle my SheevaPlug while running mtest?
Jan 03 01:24:08 <basicxman> :E
Jan 03 01:28:40 <basicxman> Apparently
Jan 03 01:29:06 <basicxman> Now, is there anyway I can restore the flash memory to factory settings?
Jan 03 01:30:07 <basicxman> Never mind.
Jan 03 01:37:57 <basicxman> Damnit!
Jan 03 01:43:43 <basicxman> http://pastie.org/1424616 Help?
Jan 03 02:21:13 <Tootoot222> basicxman: what uboot version?
Jan 03 02:21:43 <basicxman> U-Boot 1.1.4 (Dec 27 2009 - 22:03:21) Marvell version: 3.4.27 - pingtoo patch.01
Jan 03 02:21:50 <basicxman> Tootoot222: ^
Jan 03 02:23:50 <Tootoot222> and you have a tftp server running on 192.168.0.103?
Jan 03 02:24:18 <Tootoot222> (tftp != ftp, btw)
Jan 03 02:24:50 <basicxman> Yes
Jan 03 02:24:51 <basicxman> ik
Jan 03 02:24:56 <basicxman> atftpd
Jan 03 02:26:12 <basicxman> I can download it with a desktop atftp client
Jan 03 02:26:36 <basicxman> So I don't think it's an issue with tftp, I think it's an issue with putting it on the actual filesystem.
Jan 03 02:26:54 <kerio> filesystem? wha?
Jan 03 02:27:00 <kerio> you load it in ram
Jan 03 02:27:01 <Tootoot222> 0x800000 is a memory address
Jan 03 02:27:10 <basicxman> Ah :|
Jan 03 02:27:11 <basicxman> lol
Jan 03 02:27:16 * basicxman dumb
Jan 03 02:27:16 <Tootoot222> try 0x640000
Jan 03 02:27:22 <Tootoot222> although i doubt it will make a difference
Jan 03 02:27:42 <kerio> Tootoot222: what happens if you have bad blocks in the nand where the bootloader or the kernel are?
Jan 03 02:27:52 <kerio> ubifs can handle bad blocks
Jan 03 02:28:03 <Tootoot222> are you sure the directory for the tftp server is correctly set, and the file is in said directory?
Jan 03 02:28:12 <Tootoot222> kerio: you shrink your nand around the bad block
Jan 03 02:28:16 <basicxman> Tootoot222: Yes. I tried with a desktop client and it works fine.
Jan 03 02:28:23 <Tootoot222> you don't write to those areas often, so it shouldn't burn out
Jan 03 02:28:39 <Tootoot222> but if it does, i assume you'd just have to work around it
Jan 03 02:28:42 <kerio> well, once for each kernel update :<
Jan 03 02:28:56 <Tootoot222> yes but that's very short of the 100,000 write limit ;D
Jan 03 02:28:56 <basicxman> Tootoot222: Same issue with 0x6400000
Jan 03 02:29:01 <basicxman> *0x640000
Jan 03 02:29:34 <Tootoot222> basicxman: does the server log the connection?
Jan 03 02:29:52 <basicxman> Only if that's default functionality. Lemme check
Jan 03 02:30:24 <Tootoot222> kerio: i only had somethink like 8 bad blocks out of 2048 after a year and a half of heavy use
Jan 03 02:30:37 <kerio> yay
Jan 03 02:30:41 <Tootoot222> (which is well within the 11 that may be bad during manufacture)
Jan 03 02:31:06 <Tootoot222> so you've basically got a 11/2040 chance that it will be within the range you want
Jan 03 02:31:21 <kerio> i suppose you can load the kernel from the fs
Jan 03 02:31:21 <Tootoot222> (since the range used by uboot, uboot's env, and uImage are 0xa blocks long)
Jan 03 02:31:25 <Tootoot222> yup
Jan 03 02:31:27 <basicxman> Nope don't think so, lemme try setting that up then restarting the dameon.
Jan 03 02:35:57 <basicxman> Log didn't output any errors.
Jan 03 02:36:49 <basicxman> Increasing log verbosity
Jan 03 02:37:30 <basicxman> Though I don't think it will make a difference.
Jan 03 02:38:26 <basicxman> Nope, does not seem to be a tftp problem...
Jan 03 02:39:28 <Tootoot222> try spesfiying the server's ip in the same command
Jan 03 02:39:31 <Tootoot222> instead of using serverip
Jan 03 02:39:49 <Tootoot222> i think i remember some problems when trying to use serverip, instead of passing it as a param
Jan 03 02:40:01 <basicxman> Syntax for that
Jan 03 02:40:02 <basicxman> *?
Jan 03 02:40:21 <Tootoot222> help tftpboot
Jan 03 02:40:25 <Tootoot222> i don't remember the syntax
Jan 03 02:40:41 <basicxman> tftpboot 0x0800000 192.168.0.103:uboot.bin I think
Jan 03 02:40:46 <basicxman> Doesn't specify in help
Jan 03 02:40:51 <Tootoot222> yeah, try tht
Jan 03 02:41:00 <basicxman> That didn't work
Jan 03 02:41:07 <basicxman> Still uses serverip
Jan 03 02:41:40 <basicxman> It always says "TFTP from server 192.168.1.111" though
