**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Wed Mar 03 02:59:58 2010 Mar 03 12:04:17 Can I use ubuntu on http://www.hawkboard.org/ ? Mar 03 12:06:34 napster, thats ARM9 so i fear only jaunty will work on it (if you have a kernel and bootloader, see the RootfsFromScratch wikipage) Mar 03 12:07:14 ogra, I've karmic koala. I'm new to embedded linux. Can you spare a few moments for me? Mar 03 12:07:34 well, ubuntu essentially doesnt do anything in the embedded area (yet) Mar 03 12:07:47 the armel port is like any other ubuntu Mar 03 12:08:35 ogra, You know the hawkboard? Mar 03 12:08:41 nope Mar 03 12:08:57 but i looked at the tech specs on the page you pointed me to Mar 03 12:09:14 ogra, OK, Can I ask you a few question? Mar 03 12:09:39 sure Mar 03 12:10:30 http://blog.binaerwelt.com/2010/02/ubuntu-on-the-hawkboard/ seems to have a guide for ubuntu on that device btw Mar 03 12:10:33 Can I install the arm port on a USB stick and boot from it? Mar 03 12:10:55 ogra, I already read it :( Mar 03 12:11:18 sure Mar 03 12:11:42 make sure your kernel commandline points to the USB key Mar 03 12:12:01 you will likely need to have kernel and uboot on SD Mar 03 12:12:12 ogra, Sd card? Mar 03 12:12:24 well, or whatever else the board boots from Mar 03 12:12:47 usually such boards support booting from SD so bootloader and kernel live on the card Mar 03 12:13:16 Can I install it to a USB card, from my laptop? Mar 03 12:14:05 with rootstock you can extract the tarball to usb from any machine you like :) Mar 03 12:14:31 ogra, Do I need any extra softwares for the purpose? Mar 03 12:14:36 your first step should be to find out how exactly your bopard boots though ... i.e. where do kernel and bootloader live Mar 03 12:15:01 ogra, OK Mar 03 12:15:10 apart from rootstock and a machine that knows how to extract a tarball to a USB key you shouldnt need anything else Mar 03 12:15:22 probably a serial port to access the bootloader Mar 03 12:16:01 ogra, ok Mar 03 12:16:49 ogra, I'll update you soon about it. Where are you from? Mar 03 12:17:00 gernamy Mar 03 12:17:02 heh Mar 03 12:17:05 germany Mar 03 12:17:12 I need your help anyway. Can you? Mar 03 12:17:30 just ask your questions here if you have any Mar 03 12:17:52 Hope you will be here... Thanks for your help... :) Mar 03 12:18:10 * ogra is here all day during european business hours Mar 03 12:18:28 ;) Mar 03 12:18:33 i.e. likely for another 3-4h today Mar 03 12:18:42 ok Mar 03 13:15:03 bah Mar 03 13:15:23 suddenly installing the netbook task works in qemu but still fails in rootstock Mar 03 13:15:36 * ogra sighs ... i'm running out of ideas how to debug that Mar 03 18:11:15 Do we have a system image from one of the buildd's? Mar 03 18:11:28 ojn: Are you back in Austin? Mar 03 18:17:05 Martyn: I am. Should I swing by tomorrow? Mar 03 18:18:13 I could use the debug cable, yeah. Want to come to the austin hackerspace movie night? Mar 03 18:18:19 www.austinhackerspace.org/events Mar 03 18:22:02 Sorry, today/tonight isn't a good match for me. And that seems to be all the way down in south austin. :) Mar 03 18:28:17 The movie night -is- tomorrow Mar 03 18:28:22 7pm-midnight :) Mar 03 18:28:43 I'm also poking around here in the North today though. Maybe meet up after work? Mar 03 19:48:00 <|nfecteD> anyone have any idea why im not getting any picture or sound in snes9x-gtk on my beagleboard? Mar 03 19:48:25 <|nfecteD> It loads the rom and the CPU usage goes to 100% but it just sits there Mar 03 19:48:52 <|nfecteD> i can load another rom and configure stuff so it doesn't lock up Mar 03 19:49:20 <|nfecteD> can it be because snes9x-gtk doesn't like/work with 16bit color? Mar 03 19:59:31 UGH .. I hate Time Warner sometimes Mar 03 19:59:34 Office lost connectivity Mar 03 19:59:39 ojn, you still online? **** ENDING LOGGING AT Thu Mar 04 02:59:58 2010
