**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Fri Dec 01 02:59:58 2006 Dec 01 06:15:04 <[g2]> anybody doing any multi-threading debugging on OpenSlug ? Dec 01 06:15:10 <[g2]> OpenSlug BE ? Dec 01 12:15:54 [g2]: somebody was having problems in #oe w/ threading. Dec 01 12:16:11 <[g2]> VoodooZ morning Dec 01 12:16:13 I know because I keep an eye on everything threading/glibc2.5 related. Dec 01 12:16:15 morning Dec 01 12:16:35 Just in case somebody figures out a way to get slugos to use glibc2.5 (NPTL). Dec 01 12:16:39 why? Dec 01 12:16:50 <[g2]> someone was asking about it Dec 01 12:16:59 oh Dec 01 12:17:04 remember his name? Dec 01 12:17:18 <[g2]> actually any version of glibc would probably be fine Dec 01 12:17:30 <[g2]> someone e-mail'ed me Dec 01 12:18:10 <[g2]> they were asking about threaded debugging and how well it worked Dec 01 12:18:15 I've used it a lot on my robot. (linuxthreads) Dec 01 12:18:44 <[g2]> so you done a lot of with glibc2.3 ? Dec 01 12:18:45 but never did debugging on it as it's apparently a pain without NPTL which is one more reason I want glibc2.5 Dec 01 12:19:01 well, I'm still stuck with slugos3.10 for that reason. Dec 01 12:19:24 but I didn't debug anything really. Just used threading. Dec 01 12:20:29 <[g2]> VoodooZ ok thx Dec 01 12:20:47 [g2]: what do you think of the new xscales (pxa3x0)? Dec 01 12:20:53 1.2Ghz sure sounds nice. Dec 01 12:21:46 <[g2]> VoodooZ it's mildly interesting Dec 01 12:22:05 <[g2]> the 1.2G was the Intel version from what I read Dec 01 12:22:11 <[g2]> the Marvell is 800Mhz Dec 01 12:22:20 ah. Dec 01 12:22:22 <[g2]> that's not really far from the 533Mhz Lofts Dec 01 12:22:28 still, 800Mhz should be fast Dec 01 12:22:43 <[g2]> IMHO, the DDR memory controller makes a much bigger difference Dec 01 12:22:57 I'd like to see opencv compared on an ARM like the loft and a P3-900 for example. Dec 01 12:23:15 yeah, especially for vision stuff. lot of ram accesses. Dec 01 12:24:02 I was also reading about the Atmel AVR32 (as introduced in 2.6.19). Dec 01 12:24:27 has all the low-level hardware I need for robotics (PWM, I2C, SPI) and more. Dec 01 12:24:47 I especially like that pixel processor which basically does color space conversion for me. Dec 01 12:25:22 But at 133mhz it's not going to replace a real processor but could take care of low-level stuff nicely. Dec 01 12:34:11 <[g2]> VoodooZ did you see the 3DLabs announcement ? Dec 01 12:34:59 <[g2]> http://www.linuxdevices.com/news/NS6462226046.html Dec 01 12:35:23 <[g2]> that's the kinda think I imagine you'd really have a wet dream over Dec 01 12:35:50 <[g2]> couple of ARMs for housekeeping and a bad a** array processor Dec 01 12:36:14 <[g2]> and I/O BW thru the roof Dec 01 13:14:57 [g2]: looks like a pretty fancy setup. Dec 01 13:15:59 [g2]: although It does sound like it would take ages to actually use that extra power. Dec 01 21:14:58 anyone know if the nslu2 kernel cmdline is stored in redboot config? Dec 01 21:30:19 it's not Dec 01 21:40:51 It's in the fixup code alongside nslu2-setup.c and friends... Dec 01 22:14:55 I don't mean the fixup code. I mean the original cmdline Dec 01 22:15:04 the one that the fixup code overrides Dec 01 22:15:48 for slugos 3 it's compiled into the kernel CONFIG_CMDLINE Dec 01 22:15:59 for slugos 4.1 now, it's passed to the kernel by apex Dec 01 22:16:22 linksys redboot doesn't do cmdline (or any ATAGs for that matter) properly **** ENDING LOGGING AT Sat Dec 02 02:59:57 2006
