**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Fri Jul 08 02:59:58 2011
Jul 08 04:00:35 <philipp64|laptop> blogic: I hope it's good whiskey at least.
Jul 08 04:01:06 <alesan> I am desperately trying to understand what I should do with the FEATURES variable in a port makefile
Jul 08 04:01:13 <alesan> what are the available options?
Jul 08 04:01:50 <philipp64|laptop> grep -R --exclude-dir=.svn -E '\<FEATURES\>' .
Jul 08 04:02:15 <philipp64|laptop> that will give you a list of what's in use, though there are conceivably more options that aren't being used.
Jul 08 04:03:05 <alesan> I do not use svn.
Jul 08 04:03:36 <philipp64|laptop> then skip the 2nd argument.
Jul 08 04:03:55 <philipp64|laptop> or you can leave it... it won't do any harm.
Jul 08 04:04:23 <alesan> I do not understand this approach. How can a developer port effectively HIS board if there is no "reference" of the available options
Jul 08 04:07:32 <philipp64|laptop> I didn't write it. I'm just telling you how I would do it.
Jul 08 04:07:53 <philipp64|laptop> you can take or leave my suggestions.
Jul 08 04:08:21 <alesan> philipp64|laptop, I was already grepping around, but it's not very effective.
Jul 08 04:08:31 <alesan> besides it takes a while to grep about 7GB of stuff :)
Jul 08 04:10:21 <philipp64|laptop> yeah... about 1.079s on my machine.
Jul 08 04:10:58 <alesan> plonk
Jul 08 04:16:27 <philipp64|laptop> there's a very brief description in docs/adding.tex but it's not exhaustive.
Jul 08 04:58:23 <philipp64|laptop> suit yourself. I tried to answer your questions.
Jul 08 05:24:11 <CIA-89> nbd * r27552 /trunk/package/mac80211/patches/ (2 files): mac80211: add pending crypto bugfixes
Jul 08 05:24:31 <CIA-89> nbd * r27553 /trunk/tools/firmware-utils/src/mkwrgimg.c: firmware-utils: rename the devname variable in mkwrgimg to avoid a clash with a BSD stdlib function
Jul 08 05:35:47 <dirtyfreebooter> gmp and darwin don't like each other unless -DPIC is specified in the CFLAGS
Jul 08 05:36:00 <dirtyfreebooter> at least 10.7
Jul 08 05:36:43 <dirtyfreebooter> before i spend any time patching, can anyone help me with the openwrt way to append -DPIC to gmp CFLAGS in the Makefile?
Jul 08 05:37:08 <dirtyfreebooter> the makefile passes it on to configure through HOST_CONFIGURE_VARS
Jul 08 05:37:20 <dirtyfreebooter> where HOST_CFLAGS is used
Jul 08 05:37:27 <dirtyfreebooter> inside HOST_CONFIGURE_VARS
Jul 08 05:37:50 <dirtyfreebooter> how do I get -DPIC into HOST_CFLAGS for just the GMP package?
Jul 08 05:40:08 <dirtyfreebooter> I tried HOST_CFLAGS += -DPIC but it seems the -DPIC is then carried onto any of the following tools packages
Jul 08 05:53:39 <CIA-89> nbd * r27554 /trunk/package/mac80211/patches/570-mac80211_agg_buf_size.patch: mac80211: fix an interop issue with some broken 802.11n clients (#9436)
Jul 08 06:54:49 <blogic> philipp64|laptop: glengoyne
Jul 08 06:54:53 <blogic> its awesome
Jul 08 07:18:31 <CIA-89> nbd * r27555 /trunk/toolchain/uClibc/patches-0.9.32/970-uclibc_fts.patch: uClibc: fix messed up patch headers in fts patch (patch from #9671)
Jul 08 08:17:58 <CIA-89> nbd * r27556 /trunk/toolchain/gcc/Config.in: toolchain: remove a dependency on a nonexistant config symbol (thx, Sedat Dilek)
Jul 08 08:29:54 <alesan> my device has only one ethernet port, no switch etc. how can I disable the wav/lan separation and make it "lan only"? Currently it boots up without an assigned IP so I must use the serial port
Jul 08 08:30:25 <[florian]> alesan: just throw a default network configuration file in base-files for your target
Jul 08 08:31:08 <alesan> so the "Image configuration" entry in make menuconfig is of no use here?
Jul 08 08:31:30 <[florian]> no
Jul 08 08:31:59 <alesan> hm... can you "explain"?
Jul 08 08:32:11 <alesan> that section only works when there is an onboard switch?
Jul 08 08:32:52 <[florian]> no, that section works if you want to specify the default IP address in your image, for the LAN part only
Jul 08 08:33:06 <[florian]> but the default network config file which has wan/lan is still used
Jul 08 08:33:43 <alesan> ok so
Jul 08 08:34:09 <alesan> I see the ./kirkwood/base-files-Dockstar/etc/config/network specifies DHCP for example
Jul 08 08:44:00 <alesan> [florian], http://pastebin.com/2Qwc7bMy
Jul 08 08:44:05 <alesan> do you tihnk this will suffice?
Jul 08 08:44:22 <alesan> in other config files there are references to the wan interface anyway
Jul 08 08:44:28 <alesan> do you think I should remove them all?
Jul 08 08:44:53 <[florian]> yes, this file is fine
Jul 08 08:44:59 <alesan> for example in config/system there is: config rdate
Jul 08 08:44:59 <alesan>         option interface        wan
Jul 08 08:45:14 <[florian]> you do not have to patch all the files
Jul 08 08:45:29 <alesan> similarly in timeserver, dhcp, firewall, ntpclinet
Jul 08 08:45:48 <alesan> so the only change is to eliminate the "type bridge"
Jul 08 08:45:59 <alesan> this will automagically do everything I need?
Jul 08 08:46:09 <alesan> seems too easy to be true ;)
Jul 08 08:47:57 <alesan> sorry to ask again the same question, but I did not really find a solution
Jul 08 08:48:22 <alesan> in the Makefile there is a variable called FEATURES; I was not really able to find a list of possible options and their meaning
Jul 08 08:52:42 <[florian]> the list of features is in include/target.mk
Jul 08 08:52:53 <[florian]> they just define whether the target supports a specific feature or not
Jul 08 08:53:06 <[florian]> like generic gpio implementation, or ramdisk images etc ...
Jul 08 08:53:23 <[florian]> about your lan configuration
Jul 08 08:53:34 <[florian]> just create the proper configuration file for your borad
Jul 08 08:53:43 <[florian]> you could even keep the bridge keyword that would not change many things
Jul 08 08:54:19 <alesan> well if I do not change it at all... why don't I get at least the default, 192.168.1.1 ip address assigned?
Jul 08 08:54:40 <[florian]> is your ethernet interface named eth0,
Jul 08 08:54:41 <[florian]> ?
Jul 08 08:54:48 <[florian]> is your network driver loaded etc... ?
Jul 08 08:54:48 <alesan> yes
Jul 08 08:54:53 <alesan> yes it's compiled in
Jul 08 08:55:02 <KanjiMonster> what kind of device is this?
Jul 08 08:55:08 <alesan> if I simply do ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.1 at serial prompt, it works
Jul 08 08:55:19 <alesan> KanjiMonster, me?
Jul 08 08:55:25 <KanjiMonster> alesan: yes
Jul 08 08:55:28 <[florian]> can you please paste /etc/config/network file that is used by default?
Jul 08 08:55:47 <alesan> it's a GMAC integrated in my SoC, even though we use a 10/100 phy on the board
Jul 08 08:55:57 <alesan> [florian], I did in that pastebin
Jul 08 08:56:20 <alesan> http://pastebin.com/2Qwc7bMy
Jul 08 08:56:21 <KanjiMonster> alesan: I meant more what arch and device/board name ;)
Jul 08 08:56:23 <alesan> on top there is the default
Jul 08 08:56:44 <alesan> KanjiMonster, it has an ARM926EJ as CPU core
Jul 08 08:56:47 <[florian]> alesan: the default /etc/network/config should bring your interface up, so there must be something elese
Jul 08 08:57:21 <alesan> KanjiMonster, the chip is based on ST' SPEAr
Jul 08 08:57:46 <alesan> the board is done by my company but do not tell anybody I am porting OpenWRT to it
Jul 08 08:57:58 <alesan> it's only a hobby work for me
Jul 08 08:58:00 <alesan> :)
Jul 08 08:58:11 <KanjiMonster> alesan: ah, right, now I remember
Jul 08 08:58:23 <alesan> [florian], anything I should try tomorrow?
Jul 08 08:59:09 <alesan> I mean, I know eth0 is not up, but it works if I call ifconfig
Jul 08 09:00:15 <KanjiMonster> alesan: have you tried running "/etc/config/network restart" manually after booting?
Jul 08 09:00:18 <[florian]> there must be something else which does not work
Jul 08 09:00:37 <alesan> KanjiMonster, I have not, I will try
Jul 08 09:01:04 <alesan> [florian], any suggestion to debug that? I can also capture the startup log on the serial console
Jul 08 09:02:19 <[florian]> alesan: execute the scripts with /bin/sh -x
Jul 08 09:02:39 <alesan> hm... which scripts?
Jul 08 09:03:30 <[florian]> for instance /etc/init.d/network restart
Jul 08 09:03:41 <alesan> ok
Jul 08 09:03:47 <alesan> ok good
Jul 08 09:04:03 <KanjiMonster> err yes
Jul 08 09:04:17 <KanjiMonster> alesan: ignore my command, that was bogus
Jul 08 09:04:38 <alesan> KanjiMonster, oh ok :) I did not see the wrong path
Jul 08 09:04:46 <alesan> I thought to init.d when I saw yours ;)
Jul 08 09:04:50 <KanjiMonster> that was a clear -ENOTENOUGHCOFFEE
Jul 08 09:04:58 <alesan> but good idea to execute with sh -x
Jul 08 09:05:15 <alesan> KanjiMonster, try to avoid coffee... it's best
Jul 08 09:06:01 <alesan> so I think once this detail is fixed I may even send the patch to the mailing list... maybe it will get accepted?
Jul 08 09:06:28 <alesan> oh only other thing, I had to append a "rootfstype=jffs2" to the kernel command line
Jul 08 09:06:36 <KanjiMonster> alesan: I have low blood pressure and coffee is helping there
Jul 08 09:07:06 <alesan> now my question is: if I am specifying jffs2 and using openwrt-SPEAr600--jffs2-128k.img why is it still trying to mount the squashfs split?
Jul 08 09:07:23 <alesan> KanjiMonster, I also have low pressure sometimes
Jul 08 09:07:47 <alesan> but I try to avoid coffee
Jul 08 09:07:58 <KanjiMonster> alesan: CONFIG_CMDLINE should help  I think (see e.g. https://dev.openwrt.org/browser/trunk/target/linux/brcm63xx/config-2.6.39 )
Jul 08 09:09:11 <alesan> KanjiMonster, yes I have modified that and it works
Jul 08 09:09:22 <alesan> but I am still confused why it is necessary...
Jul 08 09:09:31 <alesan> maybe it just is and that's it
Jul 08 09:09:35 <alesan> maybe I am doing something wrong
Jul 08 09:10:14 <KanjiMonster> alesan: if you usea jffs2 image there should be no squashfs
Jul 08 09:10:31 <alesan> there isn't indeed
Jul 08 09:12:32 <KanjiMonster> the split will still kick in if there's a "rootfs" partition - afaik it shouldn't do anything then, since it searches for a squashfs superblock, and shouldn't find any if it's jffs2
Jul 08 09:15:16 <alesan> yes I modified my kernel to have a partition called "rootfs"
Jul 08 09:15:37 <alesan> should I not do that and simply provide a prover commandline?
Jul 08 09:15:51 <alesan> something like root=/dev/mtdblock3 rootfstype=jffs2 ?
Jul 08 09:25:21 <KanjiMonster> alesan: nah, having a rootfs partition is good; there'c code for automatically using any rootfs named partition as the root
Jul 08 09:28:09 <alesan> yeah but in that case I need to maintain a patch, if I simply specify it in the command line it's only one point I need to keep

Jul 08 15:53:48 <philipp64|laptop> blogic: single malt or blended?
Jul 08 16:16:29 <blogic> what is blended ? :)
Jul 08 16:19:31 <philipp64|laptop> it's when they take two different batches of whiskey and combine them... so it's not technically "single malt".
Jul 08 16:20:16 <blogic> i know
Jul 08 16:20:22 <philipp64|laptop> some blended whiskeys are pretty good.
Jul 08 16:20:34 <blogic> i drink isngle malts if at all
Jul 08 16:20:58 <philipp64|laptop> that's an expensive habit.
Jul 08 16:21:04 <blogic> ?
Jul 08 16:21:07 <blogic> its not a habit
Jul 08 16:21:15 <blogic> i buy 1 bottle /year
Jul 08 16:21:25 <philipp64|laptop> sorry, should have said "taste".
Jul 08 16:21:29 <blogic> hehe
Jul 08 16:23:01 <philipp64|laptop> I used to be a french wine snob, but it was costing me too much money. now I just hunt for bargain Spanish, Portuguese, and Chilean wines. and my wallet is fatter. :-)
Jul 08 16:24:30 <blogic> hmmm
Jul 08 16:24:35 <blogic> i hardly drink
Jul 08 16:24:52 <blogic> ok, i am off cya
