**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Wed Aug 02 02:59:57 2006 Aug 02 03:29:45 lively. Hello all, I'm a noob @ the slug, but I found the NSLU2-Linux site and found it's the perfect embedded board for a project I'm working on. I'd like to know if I could get any help as some of the descriptions on the site are kinda vague for a linux newbie like me Aug 02 03:39:36 NeoMatrixJR1: sure you can Aug 02 03:41:14 sweet. I've already hacked the hardware to add a USB device port to the NSLU2, and now I'm trying to figure out the software end. From what I could read on the how to part, I'm unsure of what firmware I can use as I'm also hoping to add a USB CD-ROM and LCD Aug 02 03:45:25 NeoMatrixJR1: I would imagine OpenSlug 3.10-beta is what you might like Aug 02 03:46:22 it's my best understanding that the OpenSlug OS is to be loaded through the redboot? not the firmware updater in the origional linksys firmware? Aug 02 03:48:47 or not, but from what I've read I will need a "Cross Compile" environment to update the USB code? I'm not sure of what this is Aug 02 03:49:03 NeoMatrixJR1: I have used RedBoot with TFTP server to install previous version... I have used "upslug2" to install current version Aug 02 03:54:21 are there any step-by-step instructions for installing, and subsiquently accessing OpenSlug?

Aug 02 04:12:49 NeoMatrixJR1: I only know Unix things Aug 02 04:13:25 NeoMatrixJR1: SerComm Tool Aug 02 04:14:13 NeoMatrixJR1: and MasterMakefile for the cross-compile env Aug 02 04:17:59 well, thanks all...I'll take all this in and see what I can figure out. Unfortunately I have to work in the morning, but I'm sure I'll be back on line. Thanks again Pahartik and rwhitby Aug 02 19:47:20 need help building upslug2. make upslug2 returns: http://rafb.net/paste/results/31MeZv63.html Aug 02 19:47:33 in ubuntu 6.06 Aug 02 19:54:44 is anyone alive in here? Aug 03 01:13:12 anyone in the channel that could give me a hand with the "addDeviceSideUSBPort" project? Hardware's done, OpenSlug's loaded...just don't know how to compile the drivers/kernel Aug 03 01:51:03 ...? Aug 03 02:01:35 NeoMatrixJR1: it's not a common hardware mod - you may need to talk to the wiki page author Aug 03 02:02:56 how would I go about that? it just lists a name? **** ENDING LOGGING AT Thu Aug 03 02:59:57 2006
