Apr 05 01:53:49 What is the firmware flash upgrade strategy for openslug? Apr 05 01:54:15 In particular, for a slug with no media attached. Apr 05 03:33:48 hi Apr 05 03:34:17 anyone got nfs to slug working? Apr 05 03:36:18 client or server? Apr 05 03:36:25 slug as server Apr 05 03:36:54 I think ByronT did Apr 05 03:37:02 nfs-utils is compiled and installed Apr 05 03:38:54 and samba? Apr 05 04:06:54 are we talking openslug here? Apr 05 04:11:17 yes this IS the openslug channel, right? Apr 05 04:11:59 yes indeed! Apr 05 04:13:35 I know that ByronT got it working Apr 05 06:05:08 ow my head. Apr 05 13:02:09 dyoung-web: ping Apr 05 13:08:40 hi Apr 05 13:13:14 hold that though, I'll be back in 90min Apr 05 13:15:28 rwhitby-web: Let me repeat a question I had yesterday.... Apr 05 13:15:42 I just had a rummage on the wiki and have a question that appears to be unanswered there. Apr 05 13:16:13 What is the firmware flash upgrade strategy for "point and click" end users under openslug? Apr 05 13:16:29 no such users Apr 05 13:17:14 openslug starts at camp #2. So telnet into redboot or linux command line is the upgrade path. Apr 05 13:17:26 Hmmm. I was going to target such users with a customised distro on top of openslug. Apr 05 13:17:40 basically a diskless puppy slug Apr 05 13:18:04 I guess you get to create the point and click upgrade path then :-) Apr 05 13:18:23 There is the "put it into upgrade mode and then use upslug or the sercomm tool" method. Apr 05 13:18:30 my initial thought was to have a firmware upgrade RAM disk and when the user chooses to upgrade, you pivot to the ramdisk. Apr 05 13:18:42 then you can unmount /mtd and flash it with new image. Apr 05 13:18:45 we have that already Apr 05 13:18:51 just touch /.ramdisk in the jffs2. Apr 05 13:19:01 and reboot Apr 05 13:19:16 (it's done by switchbox) Apr 05 13:19:37 how would that work with a web based upgrade? Apr 05 13:19:55 you need to download the image via http, flash it, then reboot Apr 05 13:20:06 see maintmode.cgi (or something like that) in openslug. Apr 05 13:20:31 switch into maintenance mode, then reboot, then flash, then reboot Apr 05 13:20:43 oops - that should have said "in unslung" Apr 05 13:21:38 OK, I'll have a look when it comes to having to implement it. Just soliciting ideas/options at this point in time :) Apr 05 13:22:15 still wrestling with trying to get OE to build madwifi drivers for a uclibc system :( Apr 05 13:23:48 peteru-home: an openslug upgrade should be as easy as ipkg upgrade. you can even reflash the kernel in a postinst script. **** ENDING LOGGING AT Tue Apr 05 23:59:56 2005
