Feb 17 13:23:15 <mvzaanen> Morning.
Feb 17 22:46:13 <zub> evening
Feb 17 22:46:53 <zub> I'm trying to run android on the FR... I read the docs yet they haven't helped me much
Feb 17 22:47:33 <zub> so far I grabbed a SD tar from http://code.google.com/p/android-on-freerunner/downloads/list (chose froyo-sd-201101)
Feb 17 22:47:57 <zub> re-partitioned my SD card to contain 2 partitions, 1st being a FAT32, 2nd one being an ext2
Feb 17 22:48:22 <zub> untarred the froyo archive to the SD partition
Feb 17 22:49:30 <zub> I'm normally running with Qi... android-on-fr doc seems to say Qi is ok to use, even contains link to OM Qi wiki page. And the Qi OM wiki page says Qi completely ignores FAT partitions for booting
Feb 17 22:49:53 <zub> yet if I just untar the thing to the 1st partition, I end up with the kernel image on the FAT partition
Feb 17 22:51:17 <zub> so I tried with uBoot + the SD card boot option. After renaming uImage-gta02.bin to uImage.bin it's found and loaded, but then I get a kernel panic with "no init found"
Feb 17 22:52:39 <zub> I'd be grateful for any hints
Feb 17 22:53:27 <zub> first thing I'm confused bout: how's that with android + Qi? does Qi ignore FAT partitions? so should I create /boot/uImage-gta02.bin on the 2nd partition? and anything more?
Feb 17 23:26:41 <niels_> zub
Feb 17 23:28:54 <zub> yup?
Feb 17 23:29:42 <niels_> do you have a distro in NAND?
Feb 17 23:29:50 <zub> yes
Feb 17 23:30:08 <zub> a distro == SHr (i.e. !android)
Feb 17 23:30:49 <niels_> ok
Feb 17 23:31:08 <zub> why were you asking?
Feb 17 23:33:04 <niels_> did you follow the instructions documented here: http://code.google.com/p/android-on-freerunner/wiki/AndroidOnSd
Feb 17 23:34:03 <zub> it seems to be aboujt building the sw.. that I don't want (at least not yet) to do
Feb 17 23:34:53 <zub> but it says the built files should be copied to the 2nd partition
Feb 17 23:35:00 <zub> hm
Feb 17 23:35:14 <zub> that would make more sense w.r.t. Qi
Feb 17 23:36:59 <niels_> you can skip the building part by taking the SD images
Feb 17 23:37:12 <niels_> but try to stick to the rest of the instructions
Feb 17 23:37:18 <niels_> it should work
Feb 17 23:44:06 <zub> it's not obviously applicable :-/ but judging by the contents of the tar and the copy script on the webpage the contents of the tar was already shuffled where needed and... yeah, I'm booting after having extracted the tar to the 2nd partition
Feb 17 23:44:38 <zub> niels_: thanks for hints
Feb 17 23:45:10 <zub> though I still think the doc is missing: "cretae 2 partitions (vfat, ext2/3), and extract the tar to the 2nd"
Feb 17 23:45:30 <niels_> OK.
Feb 17 23:46:32 <niels_> so where it says
Feb 17 23:46:34 <niels_> copy the necessary directories and files onto the 2nd partition (ext2/3) of your SD card using the copy script.
Feb 17 23:46:43 <niels_> it should be altered?
Feb 17 23:47:24 <zub> well, if one is installing from prebuilt image there's no need/use (AFAIK) for any such script - just extract to the 2nd partition
Feb 17 23:47:33 <zub> I mean: from prebuilt tar
Feb 17 23:47:45 <niels_> sure
Feb 17 23:49:23 <niels_> I'll give the wiki instructions some thought how we can avoid the confusion
Feb 17 23:49:37 <zub> thanks
Feb 17 23:49:50 <niels_> thanks for your suggestions zub
Feb 17 23:50:05 <zub> n/p
Feb 17 23:50:13 <niels_> going to sleep now
Feb 17 23:50:15 <niels_> ciao
Feb 17 23:50:22 <zub> I'm up and running... now gotta make myself familiar with the env
Feb 17 23:50:25 <zub> night :)
