**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Thu Sep 15 02:59:56 2005 Sep 15 06:27:35 hi all i just flashed my nslu2 to openslug whats the standard password for ssh access? Sep 15 06:29:01 i want to start develloping on this embedded device so just started with it Sep 15 06:29:25 weazul: it's in the wiki Sep 15 06:29:32 ok thnx! Sep 15 08:02:27 hi guys to remove /boot/initrd/zImage-2.6.12.2 for making space on flash (moved init to hd already) it says read only, how should i make it writeable again? Sep 15 08:03:55 mount -o remount /initrd Sep 15 08:04:04 urgh Sep 15 08:04:08 mount -o remount,rw /initrd Sep 15 08:05:28 ok thnx! Sep 15 08:05:48 correct it ro right now looking at it.. Sep 15 11:37:44 hi! have a Q (bug) on /etc/init.d/nfsserver from pkg nfs-utils Sep 15 11:37:54 this one starts with modprobe -n nfsd Sep 15 11:38:15 which returns "FATAL: Module nfsd not found." Sep 15 11:38:27 however lsmod says nfsd is loaded Sep 15 11:39:03 is the script broken? am I doing something wrong ? Sep 15 11:55:48 <[g2]> eFfeM, openslug ? DebianSlug ? Version ? Sep 15 11:57:14 openslug. that's why i am using this channel. version 2.5 Sep 15 12:00:05 3Just created a page OpenSlug/InstallNFS on the wiki to describe the lessons I learned while installing & configureing NFS Sep 15 12:02:40 g2, just looking at http://www.giantshoulderinc.com/hardware.html Sep 15 12:02:52 I had expected a larger picture Sep 15 12:03:06 does it come with a cabinet? Sep 15 12:03:17 <[g2]> eFfeM yup Sep 15 12:03:39 <[g2]> it's a 4.2" x 6.3" x 1.5" metal box Sep 15 12:04:00 <[g2]> board, case and PS for $249 US Sep 15 12:04:41 <[g2]> sw builds avail free for customers or I'll install on CF or Microdrive for a tiny fee Sep 15 12:05:26 <[g2]> I've got a larger picture, but that board is fully populated Sep 15 12:05:50 <[g2]> and the Loft isn't fully populated Sep 15 12:06:25 what will be missing? Sep 15 12:07:57 <[g2]> thinks like extra MiniPCI slots probably a 266Mhz processor instead of 533Mhz etc... Sep 15 12:08:03 btw, didn't contact the yuan people yet, but the sw on their web is only window$ Sep 15 12:08:30 <[g2]> there's a 16MB flash on that board, the Loft will have a .5MB Sep 15 12:09:06 I see Sep 15 12:09:10 <[g2]> these are all cost tradeoffs to get and keep the price down Sep 15 12:09:29 <[g2]> for a price one can have it all (except for the money spent) :) Sep 15 12:09:49 ok, if I get one it would be as a prototyping platform and I'll have my boss pay for it Sep 15 12:10:04 <[g2]> the yuan hw is base on a chip used in the Myth TV project or something like that Sep 15 12:10:04 hence my interest in more memory and a faster CPU Sep 15 12:10:21 what's the chip on the yuan board? Sep 15 12:10:25 some of it, but the silicon tuner on it is pretty new Sep 15 12:11:18 hw spec Sep 15 12:11:19 Philips TDA 8275 (A) Silicon Tuner (RF) Sep 15 12:11:19 Philips TDA 8290 IF Demodulator Sep 15 12:11:19 Conexant CX23416 Video Encoder chip with PCI interface Sep 15 12:11:19 CX25843 Video A/D Sep 15 12:11:30 hmm Sep 15 12:11:32 <[g2]> I've got enough problems staying on top of the NAS/Web Server stuff Sep 15 12:11:57 <[g2]> I want to play with Audio/Video/VOIP/...... but I'm already quite busy :) Sep 15 12:12:15 voip is still on my list Sep 15 12:12:47 tried to convert a wav to mp3 yesterday (using Lame). This takes ages.... Sep 15 12:14:05 don't know a faster encoder though. It is probably due to the lack of FP Sep 15 12:14:21 quite possible Sep 15 12:14:39 I could be pretty fast with the IPP libs Sep 15 12:14:42 Dunno if there's an integer encoder for mp3 Sep 15 12:14:49 I know there's one for ogg Sep 15 12:16:01 <[g2]> koen are the IPP libs the handcoded arm assembler ? Sep 15 12:16:32 yeah, I'm interested too, I was already surfing to find info Sep 15 12:18:26 Yeah, I looked at their IPP 5.0 Beta for speeding up my computer vision algorithms. Sep 15 12:18:59 Never really did anything with it though. looked complicated to setup with our cross compiler. Sep 15 12:19:00 [g2]: I know they are optimized Sep 15 12:19:24 It's better that way as I learned to optimize my C code for ARM in the process. Sep 15 12:19:51 <[g2]> koen someone on the ml or wiki was running those Sep 15 12:21:15 ok, here's a link, I just asked for a license to d/l the noncommercial version Sep 15 12:23:13 lol, the ipp for pentium and itanium is 140 mb, the one for xscale 7 mb ! Sep 15 12:24:55 the new xscales even have mmx nowadays Sep 15 12:25:32 wireless mmx even Sep 15 12:29:53 <[g2]> which xscales ? Sep 15 12:53:28 eFfeM, let us know how it goes as I'd be interested in trying it for vision stuff on my robot later. Sep 15 12:53:58 i think i'm on a dead-end, but let me get the last few details Sep 15 12:55:55 ok, here's it Sep 15 12:56:56 IPP only seems available for pentium, itanium and pca Sep 15 12:57:21 pca is pxa27x, pxa26x, pxa255 Sep 15 12:57:37 these indeed have the wireless mmx and are using xscale technology Sep 15 12:58:24 the package is .o files, so it will not run on our cpu Sep 15 12:58:29 only 27x has iwmmx iirc Sep 15 12:58:34 ok Sep 15 12:58:37 which version is this? I believe the IPP 5.0 beta had lots more. Sep 15 12:58:40 and 26x is just 25x + flash Sep 15 12:58:48 i was just picking up some info from the intel website Sep 15 12:59:09 intel likes confusing numbers.... Sep 15 12:59:11 this is 4.1.2 Sep 15 12:59:41 there is an mp3 coder example in it .. Sep 15 12:59:49 check for any info on the new (or upcoming) ver 5. Sep 15 13:00:51 no sign of v5 Sep 15 13:01:10 I guess the Beta is not over yet then. Sep 15 13:01:18 I still have the package if you want it. Sep 15 13:01:33 I'd expect intel to cover IOP and IXP as well Sep 15 13:02:24 VoodooZ_Work, if you want/can share it feel free to email it to fransmeulenbroeks at yahoo dot com Sep 15 13:02:55 no problem. YOu might have more patience than I do. Sep 15 13:02:59 and i'll try to have a look at it in the weekend (heading towards the tv in 10 mins) Sep 15 13:03:04 Hopefully they didn't time limit it though. Sep 15 13:03:07 me? patience ? lol ! Sep 15 13:03:11 heheh Sep 15 13:06:24 anyone know where to get for the integer ogg Nail was referring to? Sep 15 13:06:45 xiph does not mention their version is integer-only Sep 15 13:06:49 tremor Sep 15 13:07:14 tnx Sep 15 13:07:22 hmm Sep 15 13:07:28 only decoder, it seems Sep 15 13:07:28 "Tremor" integer-only codec now under BSD license. The "Tremor" decoder library, Sep 15 13:07:32 an integer-only, fully Ogg Vorbis compliant software decoder library Sep 15 13:10:18 found this for flac: libFLAC, libOggFLAC: Can now be compiled to use only integer instructions, including encoding. Sep 15 13:10:43 but i'd like some more compression, hence ogg or mp3 Sep 15 13:17:46 hm found shine fixed point for arm (http://www.mp3-tech.org/programmer/encoding.html) but it seems very minimal Sep 15 13:43:24 later... **** ENDING LOGGING AT Fri Sep 16 02:59:56 2005
