**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Mon May 16 02:59:57 2011 May 16 07:41:59 i dont suppose anyone is arround? May 16 07:42:13 I need a copy of the vista drivers fro a sheevaplug.... May 16 07:42:37 for soem reason there are no XP64 drivers online, and no vista drivers at all... May 16 07:42:52 and that's the extent of the windows machines I have regular access to May 16 07:43:36 and I am getting some freaky errors in linux May 16 07:44:10 the sheeva is throwing these errors into dmesg: May 16 07:44:15 [ 2012.887056] usb 6-2: device not accepting address 14, error -71 May 16 07:44:16 [ 2012.887081] hub 6-0:1.0: unable to enumerate USB device on port 2 May 16 07:44:37 are you using a usb hub? May 16 07:44:43 nope May 16 07:44:57 does the usb device you're trying to use work on other computers? May 16 07:45:12 oh, and the linux errors are showing up on multiple machines May 16 07:45:40 so are you sure it isn't just the device that's bad? May 16 07:45:56 not really May 16 07:45:59 or is this the sheevaplug's jtag -> computer, where the computer is throwing the errors? May 16 07:46:13 that May 16 07:46:17 ah May 16 07:46:32 i am trying to connect the sheeva to a PC to install a new OS May 16 07:47:33 ozymandias2: http://www.plugcomputer.org/plugwiki/index.php/Serial_terminal_program May 16 07:50:13 thank you May 16 07:50:36 working through that material now May 16 07:50:40 no go on the linux side May 16 07:50:48 maybe the windows drivers will help May 16 08:07:17 YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME May 16 08:07:21 thanks! May 16 08:07:23 figured out my problem May 16 08:07:35 there is a giant freaking GASH in this usb cable May 16 08:07:49 which evidently ocassionally still works May 16 08:08:00 which is why i had access... and then it died.... May 16 08:08:02 ozymandias2: LOL May 16 08:08:04 and has been so damn sporatic May 16 08:08:09 XD May 16 08:20:04 update: 5 minutes later, I had fedora 12 installed and booted May 16 08:20:10 XD May 16 08:20:11 epic May 16 08:20:47 now to figure out why I bought this. May 16 08:21:01 i forgot I had until I saw a kickstarter project for plug pcs May 16 08:21:01 lol May 16 08:21:15 it's good to run a web server on, or a NAS May 16 08:21:19 yeah May 16 08:21:30 i have a drobo/droboshare already running May 16 08:21:38 i have spare PCs runnign services May 16 08:21:41 lol May 16 08:22:01 once I get done playing I might downsize one of my servers to the plug May 16 08:22:07 if it has enough umph May 16 08:22:20 =D May 16 14:52:37 Any additional info on the globalscale d2? http://www.globalscaletechnologies.com/t-d2plugdetails.aspx#extern May 16 14:54:16 at 250$ i wonder whats going on May 16 14:56:26 1gb of ram, 8gb of internal memory May 16 14:56:28 wait, 800mhz cpu? May 16 14:56:36 hm, there's a hardware video decoder May 16 14:56:39 so there's that May 16 14:57:02 it's arm v6/v7 instead v5 of current plugs May 16 14:57:28 i wonder if it could run xbmc well May 16 14:57:43 if so it could be sweet May 16 14:57:49 if you manage to make xbmc use the hw decoder, sure, why not May 16 14:57:56 the bulk of xbmc is the decoding May 16 14:58:02 the interface itself doesn't take too much, methinks May 16 15:01:38 hm sounds good May 16 15:04:00 do any drivers exist for the hw video decoder? May 16 15:04:12 Does any "normal" software know how to talk to those drivers? May 16 15:27:01 comradekingu: the d2 uses a Marvell Armada 510 (PXA 510) SOC. More advanced device than the kirkwood May 16 15:30:27 comradekingu: http://www.marvell.com/products/processors/applications/armada_500/Marvell_Armada510_SoC.pdf May 16 15:32:29 http://www.linuxfordevices.com/c/a/News/Globalscale-Technologies-D2Plug-and-Marvell-PXA510/ May 16 15:56:57 will it be able to run Unity? /s May 16 16:11:44 kerio: why would you want it to? May 16 16:12:58 tinker-f595: low cost/power desktop type system? May 16 16:13:05 with those specs, you're almost approaching viability May 16 16:16:51 "low" cost May 16 16:18:35 about as much as a cheep netbook May 16 16:18:39 similarly powered May 16 16:55:28 Tootoot222: actually more than viability as much can be offloaded onto the coprocessors May 16 16:56:50 yeah **** ENDING LOGGING AT Tue May 17 02:59:58 2011
