**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sat Dec 08 02:59:57 2007 Dec 08 03:35:05 hi all Dec 08 04:06:19 are there any known good USB wifi adapters out there that are known to work in angstrom? Dec 08 04:53:55 anybody? Dec 08 06:14:53 hmmm Dec 08 06:14:56 hi Dec 08 06:15:04 hey Dec 08 06:15:14 dcordes, any experience with USB wireless adapters? Dec 08 06:15:24 yep Dec 08 06:15:27 I've got a CF card wifi adapter but I would prefer USB Dec 08 06:15:37 ok Dec 08 06:15:38 dcordes, I should say... any GOOD experience with them? :P Dec 08 06:15:53 in angströöm? Dec 08 06:16:09 I bought a netgear wg111 adapter today... unfoooortunately it's the v3 model which apparently is completely unusable in linux atm :P Dec 08 06:16:09 yeah Dec 08 06:16:26 DaedalusX: try to make it work on your deskto Dec 08 06:16:40 then if you found a working module source, try to make a recipe... Dec 08 06:16:42 dcordes, oh, I've tried that. I mean the chipset is entirely unusable in linux :P Dec 08 06:16:45 or compile it on device Dec 08 06:16:57 DaedalusX: so you want me to suggest a different chipset? Dec 08 06:17:34 dcordes, yeah, could you? I saw the zd1211 or whatever it's called but the drivers for that haven't been compiled for akita yet, nor have the ipw or pretty mucha ny of the other ones I've seen :P Dec 08 06:17:36 I have a ralink rt73 based here Dec 08 06:17:44 which is working just perfect with my recipe Dec 08 06:17:44 I've heard they're good Dec 08 06:17:51 also other ralinks are good Dec 08 06:17:55 yeah Dec 08 06:18:01 there are also atheros ones... zydas Dec 08 06:18:02 well they GPLed their drivers right? Dec 08 06:18:09 yes the serialmonkey one Dec 08 06:18:13 except of the firmware Dec 08 06:18:40 yeah, the zydas ones are the ones I was looking at, but again the drivers haven't been compiled for akita yet... and I can not figure out how to use bitbake worth a damn on my zaurus Dec 08 06:19:20 DaedalusX: zd1211 is i nOE Dec 08 06:19:30 yeah, but I have no idea how to use OE :P Dec 08 06:19:41 DaedalusX: setting up OE for akita is damn easys Dec 08 06:20:12 I tried following the howto on the angstrom site but I'll be damned if it makes any sense to me Dec 08 06:20:24 why wouldn't it?? Dec 08 06:20:38 it mentions the local.conf file... a file I don't have. Dec 08 06:20:39 :P Dec 08 06:21:36 got your zd1211 around or just fixing to get one? Dec 08 06:21:43 just looking at getting one Dec 08 06:21:50 don't make this dependent from the state of the repository Dec 08 06:21:58 existence of metadata is the important point Dec 08 06:22:10 it it's there, what's actually the case- no problem at all Dec 08 06:22:28 poke somebody to upload latest ipk of it Dec 08 06:22:46 but then you need the matching kernel version and are doomed for the rest of your life to be dependent on the angstrom maintainers Dec 08 06:22:49 it's damn hard poking anybody around here :P Dec 08 06:22:54 if you roll your own you can make what you want Dec 08 06:23:01 yeah. I know Dec 08 06:23:11 so what's preventing you from doing it? Dec 08 06:23:29 most folks would rather use the binaries Dec 08 06:23:33 the fact that I can't get bitbake to work on either my desktop or my zaurus because I don't understand what I'm supposed to do? : Dec 08 06:23:35 :P Dec 08 06:23:45 that's nothing more luxuirous then building your own pda distro and packages Dec 08 06:23:58 you don't want bitbake on your zaurus Dec 08 06:24:03 on my zaurus it says I'm missing the bb module for python, and on my desktop it says the CACHE variable isn't set Dec 08 06:24:05 bitbake is the cross compiller Dec 08 06:24:16 ah, gotcha Dec 08 06:24:22 DaedalusX: what did you do yet? Dec 08 06:24:25 on desktop.. Dec 08 06:24:37 http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/building-angstrom I followed this to the Step 3 Dec 08 06:24:38 part Dec 08 06:24:45 but there's no local.conf anywhere Dec 08 06:25:13 ok Dec 08 06:25:33 first of all, what's the full path to your OE directory? the path which contains bitbake Dec 08 06:25:40 and org.openembedded.dev Dec 08 06:25:46 I put it in /OE Dec 08 06:26:09 oh wait... I found local.conf.sample... I assume they mean copy that over? Dec 08 06:26:09 hm did you gave the folder normal user rights? Dec 08 06:26:21 I mean yes you can use bitbake as root but what for? Dec 08 06:26:26 I installed it as root Dec 08 06:26:29 what for? Dec 08 06:26:41 better use it as normal user Dec 08 06:26:48 you really don't wanna run BB as root... Dec 08 06:26:53 alright? Dec 08 06:26:59 there you go Dec 08 06:27:01 :P Dec 08 06:27:04 put it in your ~ or such Dec 08 06:27:09 sure Dec 08 06:27:10 and chmod it accordingly Dec 08 06:27:21 I assume you know how Dec 08 06:27:45 yeah I know how Dec 08 06:29:20 now create a file in your ~/OE/org.openembedded.dev/conf/ called local.conf Dec 08 06:29:26 yeah Dec 08 06:29:40 into that you copy the blob in step 3 Dec 08 06:30:04 gotcha Dec 08 06:30:08 great Dec 08 06:30:17 now you have to alter the variables which are defined there Dec 08 06:30:43 /OE in your case has to be replaced with ~/OE Dec 08 06:31:08 easy as that Dec 08 06:31:18 yep... soooo akita for the MACHINE, does the version number in DISTRO matter? Dec 08 06:31:26 once you done that you set your machine type accordingly to what - akita Dec 08 06:31:28 ^^ Dec 08 06:31:42 leave it as 2007.1 for now Dec 08 06:32:03 save that Dec 08 06:32:11 now -very important- we need the source script Dec 08 06:32:30 source-me.txt in step 2 Dec 08 06:32:36 yeah, got that Dec 08 06:33:01 you need to run this in each terminal you want work with bitbake Dec 08 06:33:15 also there you need to alter pathes Dec 08 06:33:49 yeah Dec 08 06:33:52 /OE=~/OE again Dec 08 06:34:02 I know how profiles work and stuff, don't worry Dec 08 06:34:15 PATH=/OE/bitbake-1.8.8/bin:${ORG_PATH} make sure you set the right bitbake path (depends on your version) Dec 08 06:34:19 ok great Dec 08 06:34:32 now you should be set Dec 08 06:34:40 I do MOSTLY know what I'm doing... I think I'm just caught on a bad day :P Dec 08 06:34:45 run your the source script using "soure source-me.txt" Dec 08 06:34:54 anyway, for bitbake, it'll automatically grab bb files right? like portage? Dec 08 06:35:04 yep Dec 08 06:35:18 we will try that now Dec 08 06:35:19 sourced? Dec 08 06:35:42 just run through step 4 Dec 08 06:35:55 if it works you know you've done everything right Dec 08 06:37:23 alright... I'll let you know in a minute Dec 08 06:38:42 somebody here who can give me a hand selecting gumstix components? Dec 08 06:39:12 I need a small audio streaming station with usb and lcd optinal lan Dec 08 06:50:36 wheeeee it's nice compiling this stuff on a dual 3.2 GHz box versus the comparatively sloth-like Zaurus :P Dec 08 06:50:47 dcordes, it seems to be working btw. Dec 08 06:51:32 I had to install diffstat and texi2html but now it's fine. Dec 08 06:52:06 dcordes, will bitbake automatically ipkg stuff up or do I have to do that stuff by hand? Dec 08 06:52:33 haha compilling natively on akita kicks ass, I know that Dec 08 06:53:05 DaedalusX: if your recipe runs fine, you get your ipkg written to ~/build Dec 08 06:53:10 dcordes, for the stuff I do it's decently quick. for autotools based packages the configure script takes foreeeever Dec 08 06:53:40 oh, and ipkg is slow as @#$@. but that's life. Dec 08 06:53:50 I think it's because I've got a lot of packages installed Dec 08 06:53:55 so the status files are huge :P Dec 08 06:54:03 either that or ipkg just sucks. Dec 08 06:54:36 possibly the second ^^ Dec 08 06:54:40 probably Dec 08 06:55:08 dcordes, btw... do you know if overclocking support will ever be enabled for the clamshells? It's got something to do with the LCD clock or something right? Dec 08 06:55:23 build/tmp/angstrom/deploy/glibc/ipk is your ipk path Dec 08 06:55:29 images go there build/tmp/angstrom/deploy/glibc/images Dec 08 06:55:33 I had overclocking support on it when I got it, with the cacko rom, but I got rid of that pretty quick because... well.. angstrom's cooler :P Dec 08 06:55:35 thanks Dec 08 06:55:57 yes of course cacko pdaxrom and others are losers Dec 08 06:56:07 losers without python as far as I can tell. Dec 08 06:56:10 heheheheheh Dec 08 06:56:16 angstrom is the real sh33t Dec 08 06:56:40 dcordes, btw, how would I go about making a bb file or whatever for the avr-libc packages? Dec 08 06:56:56 it's kind of a weird thought because it'd be for cross compiling a cross compiler. Dec 08 06:57:10 why not Dec 08 06:57:16 read bitbake manual Dec 08 06:57:29 it details .bb syntax Dec 08 06:57:41 k Dec 08 06:57:57 in case you come from gentoo I think it will be easy to understand Dec 08 06:58:07 I do. Dec 08 06:58:12 I'm running gentoo atm actually :P Dec 08 06:58:25 I tried to make a gentoo on my laptop few days ago Dec 08 06:58:33 it takes a loooong time. Dec 08 06:58:46 almost as long as it takes to install a 1 kB package on ipkg Dec 08 06:58:47 har Dec 08 06:58:47 har Dec 08 06:58:48 I just finished the x86 quick setup guide Dec 08 06:58:48 har Dec 08 06:58:48 . Dec 08 06:59:05 dcordes, what stage did you start on? Dec 08 06:59:09 created fs Dec 08 06:59:12 do what the pros do: stage 3 all the way :P Dec 08 06:59:17 uuh latest i686 stage 3? Dec 08 06:59:18 then you just re-emerge everything. Dec 08 06:59:26 ah, alright, so you did it the smart way Dec 08 06:59:32 from 12-4 Dec 08 06:59:36 the first time I did it I did stage 1 because I was a nub. Dec 08 06:59:40 I did it the quick setup way Dec 08 06:59:45 yeah Dec 08 06:59:50 I honestly really like gentoo Dec 08 06:59:55 unfortunately my rootfs (reiser on) does only mount ro Dec 08 06:59:57 I've never had anything seriously break on it. Dec 08 07:00:03 yikes Dec 08 07:00:09 *reiser one Dec 08 07:00:22 wow... how old is this harddrive? :P Dec 08 07:00:23 errr Dec 08 07:00:25 laptop I mean Dec 08 07:00:31 that you have reiser1 on it Dec 08 07:00:34 it has many badblocks Dec 08 07:00:59 let me restate Dec 08 07:01:12 the rootfs is a reiserfs partition Dec 08 07:01:15 plau Dec 08 07:01:19 *okay Dec 08 07:01:19 :P Dec 08 07:01:20 plau? Dec 08 07:01:36 my fingers were off by a column on the keyboard. my bad. Dec 08 07:01:55 ~lart DaedalusX Dec 08 07:02:10 oh no where's ibot when you need him Dec 08 07:02:20 WHERE IS YOUR GOD NOW Dec 08 07:02:21 anyway. Dec 08 07:02:23 continue. Dec 08 07:02:24 morning! Dec 08 07:02:31 heyas Dec 08 07:02:32 DaedalusX: join #OE, quick! Dec 08 07:02:44 cofeineSunshine1: good morning Dec 08 07:02:54 dcordes, are you going to do something horrible to me with ibot? :P Dec 08 07:03:37 dcordes, so anyway... I'm surprised you're having trouble with reiser Dec 08 07:03:43 I assume you mean reiser3 by the way Dec 08 07:03:57 I don't know I suspect my fstab to be faulty Dec 08 07:03:58 not reiser4 which is horridly supported and you'd be an idiot to use. :P Dec 08 07:04:12 did I say reiser 4? Dec 08 07:04:20 no Dec 08 07:04:27 I'm just making sure you mean Reiser3 Dec 08 07:04:44 you have to watch out for the flags in /etc/fstab Dec 08 07:04:45 the reiserfs which is used by mkfsreiserfs or so Dec 08 07:04:51 in gentoo Dec 08 07:05:00 like if you accidentally use noatime or something like taht with reiser I remember it really screws things up Dec 08 07:05:08 DaedalusX: what would my flags want to look right in order to mount right? Dec 08 07:05:23 I honestly don't know. I haven't used reiser for a while Dec 08 07:05:30 mainly because I used to have weird problems with it Dec 08 07:05:35 even before I switched to gentoo Dec 08 07:05:49 I'm on noobuntu Dec 08 07:06:13 I've got a few friends on ubuntu who like it Dec 08 07:06:25 but I dunno. I like having everything compiled from scratch Dec 08 07:06:43 I want that too Dec 08 07:06:48 it's pretty difficult to break packages Dec 08 07:07:19 dcordes, do you know if it would be possible to compile glibc with soft-float? Dec 08 07:07:29 for angstrom? Dec 08 07:07:33 and recompile everything with it? Dec 08 07:07:49 kind of a pain but it doesn't look like it's taking that long to compile everything on my desktop here Dec 08 07:08:04 with 6 ghz eh Dec 08 07:08:21 it's a 6600 overclocked to 3.2 GHz each Dec 08 07:08:23 on air cooling :P Dec 08 07:08:29 I must've gotten a good chip. Dec 08 07:08:45 I had a watercooling in my system before Dec 08 07:08:56 I did too... on my thunderbird system Dec 08 07:09:02 it was fun, but it made the thing heavy Dec 08 07:09:06 and I lug my computer around a lot. Dec 08 07:09:09 had a barton here 3200+ Dec 08 07:09:10 back and forth to school Dec 08 07:09:15 to work every once in a while Dec 08 07:09:18 it was a pain Dec 08 07:09:19 same here hehe Dec 08 07:09:25 in a chieftec housing Dec 08 07:10:35 hmmmm well bitbake's pretty stuck now. it's looking for fakeroot_1.7.1.tar.gz but that file doesn't exist. Dec 08 07:10:37 anywhere. :P Dec 08 07:10:43 hell, it's looking in Japan now :P Dec 08 07:11:24 DaedalusX: what are you trying to build? Dec 08 07:11:28 huh... maybe it skipped over Dec 08 07:11:48 it does not proceed if a dependency fails to build Dec 08 07:11:52 the minimal image... just to make sure everything works right. I assume I probably don't have to right? :P Dec 08 07:12:09 or do I actually have to build the entire system Dec 08 07:12:11 can't harm building all the 3 Dec 08 07:12:26 if you build the x11 image you directly have all the gui dependencies Dec 08 07:12:45 in case you want to build something guish later, you don't have to build all that Dec 08 07:13:13 I really just wanna build kernel modules at the moment... something tells me I'm wasting my time then? :P Dec 08 07:13:23 I think it compiled glibc already... Dec 08 07:13:43 remember that you will most likely have to reflash your akita kernel and replace the modules. Dec 08 07:13:58 so you keep up with the metadata you have there on the machine Dec 08 07:14:10 otherwise you would build modules for a kernel you don't have on your target machine Dec 08 07:14:19 yeah, I don't mind. Dec 08 07:14:35 just wanna see if the zydas driver builds? Dec 08 07:14:39 pretty much. Dec 08 07:14:50 then build it Dec 08 07:14:59 it hasn't finished making glibc I don't think though... I don't see an ipkg directory at least Dec 08 07:15:08 and the command line scroll of bitbake isn't very informative Dec 08 07:15:17 it is Dec 08 07:15:35 for more detail you can put verbose bit Dec 08 07:15:38 well it says it's finished configuring stuff... but I don't know if it's actually COMPILED any yet Dec 08 07:15:42 ah, okay Dec 08 07:15:47 maybe it's just all going on in the background Dec 08 07:15:48 of course oyu do Dec 08 07:15:54 it tells you when it starts compilling Dec 08 07:16:02 starting task do_compile... Dec 08 07:16:03 and Dec 08 07:16:08 task do_compile finished... Dec 08 07:16:14 for package blabla Dec 08 07:16:15 and it's still looking for fakeroot. I dunno if it's stufck or... wait now it's doing completely different stuff so I guess it's fine? Dec 08 07:16:28 huh Dec 08 07:16:35 yes if it continues Dec 08 07:16:42 your good to go let it carry on Dec 08 07:17:30 you can just cancel and build the zydas module though Dec 08 07:17:42 it will care for dependencies Dec 08 07:18:03 well it's downloading the kernel atm anyway... might as well let it finish Dec 08 07:18:35 of course just have cafeine or so in that time or make my gentoo work Dec 08 07:18:39 my deploy folder is empty except for an empty "glibc" folder. that seems like a bad sign for some reason Dec 08 07:19:00 it isn't Dec 08 07:19:01 dcordes, so what exactly is wrong with gentoo? just the resier crap? Dec 08 07:19:03 cd glibc Dec 08 07:19:03 ls Dec 08 07:19:09 you will notice ipk and images folders Dec 08 07:19:22 just the rootfs is mounting read only crap Dec 08 07:19:36 I did. it's empty Dec 08 07:20:12 odd Dec 08 07:20:38 maybe you have no package finished yet Dec 08 07:20:46 hmmm.... I guess so Dec 08 07:20:47 did it start off with glibc? Dec 08 07:20:58 it's doing a lot of configuring and not much compiling it looks like :P Dec 08 07:21:00 it would mourn about missing variables or so Dec 08 07:21:06 it hasn't errored out Dec 08 07:21:08 if it wouldn't know where to put your ipks Dec 08 07:21:10 I might just let it go overnight Dec 08 07:23:34 in case you really don't get anything build that would suck Dec 08 07:23:42 built Dec 08 07:23:47 well we'll see Dec 08 07:24:30 just check build/tmp/angstrom/stamps/armv5te-angstrom-linux-gnueabi/ Dec 08 07:25:37 dcordes, btw.. what zydas device do you have? Dec 08 07:25:38 those stamps tell bitbake which parts of the package building process are done yet Dec 08 07:25:45 none Dec 08 07:25:50 I have an rt73 here only Dec 08 07:26:32 ah... right Dec 08 07:27:25 DaedalusX: in case there are open source linux drivers you can pretty much assume you will be able to build it with OE Dec 08 07:27:31 yeah Dec 08 07:27:32 bbiab Dec 08 07:27:34 sure Dec 08 07:28:39 ah... it says it's doing do_package on glibc now Dec 08 07:28:43 so I guess it is working Dec 08 07:35:21 http://ayagroup.com/product.php?productid=16758 this looks good Dec 08 07:40:25 external antenna is useful Dec 08 07:44:25 it says it's a zydas chip Dec 08 07:44:37 and support for linux in kernel 2.6.6 and up Dec 08 07:44:42 I wonder if it actually is :P Dec 08 07:45:08 2.6.6 damn Dec 08 07:45:57 maybe you get a 2.6.63 kernel with it Dec 08 07:46:35 dcordes, 2.6.6 "and up" Dec 08 07:46:36 :P Dec 08 07:47:12 so you can't use it with angstrom :( Dec 08 07:47:23 huh? Dec 08 07:47:29 angstrom's 2.6.23 atm Dec 08 07:47:50 that's pretty far above 2.6.6 :P Dec 08 07:49:02 just get it Dec 08 07:49:44 dcordes, you think it'd work? Dec 08 07:49:53 whatever. I have a job for a reason Dec 08 07:49:56 :P Dec 08 07:50:05 DaedalusX: of course it will work Dec 08 07:50:50 http://www.edimax.nl/nl/produce_detail.php?pl1_id=1&pl2_id=44&pl3_id=88&pd_id=8 that's what I use Dec 08 07:52:09 dcordes, do the external antennas help a lot? Dec 08 07:52:37 my edimax range is way better then every conventional stick I've seen around Dec 08 07:52:46 alright, I'll take your word for it :P Dec 08 07:53:13 I hope you're aware of required extra power to use such device on akita Dec 08 07:53:30 like an external usb battery or a powered hub Dec 08 07:53:30 I have a powered usb hub Dec 08 07:53:34 good Dec 08 07:53:43 actually I'm putting together an external IO box Dec 08 07:53:53 with LAN, bluetooth, wifi, all kinds of stuff Dec 08 07:54:04 useful Dec 08 07:54:24 I've got a 6 Ah pack to power it too :P Dec 08 07:54:27 should last a while :P Dec 08 07:54:35 ah where did you get that? Dec 08 07:54:42 I only had 2A when until you fscked it up Dec 08 07:54:44 sparkfun Dec 08 07:54:51 s/when/one Dec 08 07:55:03 I should mention that that's at 3.7V Dec 08 07:55:04 could you give me a link? Dec 08 07:55:14 if it works for most usb devices... Dec 08 07:55:15 so after stepping it up you're not gonna get that Dec 08 07:55:47 oh i see Dec 08 07:56:04 why didn't you get one with 5v so you don't need to fiddle around with it Dec 08 07:56:55 because they don't make these battery cells in 5v Dec 08 07:57:32 http://www.sparkfun.com/commerce/product_info.php?products_id=8484 Dec 08 07:57:48 http://www.radioshack.com/sm-buy-the-lenmar-5v-2200mah-li-ion-usb-powerport-battery--pi-2553284.html I had this one rebranded Dec 08 07:57:55 consits of 2 LiIo cells Dec 08 07:59:21 shit! Dec 08 07:59:31 I just realized I put the ship to information of my school in the box! Dec 08 07:59:33 fuuuck! Dec 08 07:59:52 you put a ship in a box? Dec 08 08:00:53 DaedalusX: don't understand ^^ Dec 08 08:01:39 I used paypal to pay for it Dec 08 08:01:53 and the last thing I paid for with paypal I had shipped to my address at school Dec 08 08:02:40 nvm just email them to correct this Dec 08 08:03:14 you a teacher or what? Dec 08 08:04:35 nah, college student Dec 08 08:05:31 I'll call them on monday Dec 08 08:05:39 they won't ship it out until at least then anyway Dec 08 08:05:51 whooops Dec 08 08:06:25 how much Ahr will you get with the cells at 5v? Dec 08 08:06:37 well lemme see Dec 08 08:07:35 well if the step up was perfectly efficient it would get you 4.4444 AHr Dec 08 08:08:02 that's still twice as much as my old battery pack and the cells are way cheaper Dec 08 08:08:10 I need a similar solution Dec 08 08:08:23 is it easy to insert the required part for the voltage change? Dec 08 08:08:23 I'm not sure exactly how efficient the step up I looked at making was though Dec 08 08:08:34 up stepper or whatever this is called Dec 08 08:08:48 if you find a dc to dc step up board that'll do enough amps, yeah Dec 08 08:10:02 just found 11.1V / 1.5Ah Dec 08 08:10:53 that's pretty damn good Dec 08 08:10:55 where'd you find that Dec 08 08:11:11 I have some big lithium ion batteries from my old robot project Dec 08 08:11:15 that are huge and powerful Dec 08 08:11:17 but... they're huge.

Dec 08 08:18:06 DaedalusX: you are not giving the right ${PN} then Dec 08 08:18:35 DaedalusX: your bitbake files are in org.openembedded.dev/packages/ Dec 08 08:18:41 yeah I found em Dec 08 08:18:52 it's that the kd1211 packages are named differently Dec 08 08:18:54 bitbake -b mydriver.bb Dec 08 08:19:14 or bitbake ${PN} Dec 08 08:19:19 that builds latest version of product Dec 08 08:20:04 bitbake zd1211 in your case Dec 08 08:20:16 yeah I got it Dec 08 08:20:21 it won't build for you since the URI is borked Dec 08 08:20:31 *sigh* Dec 08 08:20:31 yeah Dec 08 08:20:35 I know the new address Dec 08 08:20:54 will it freak out if I change the bb file? Dec 08 08:20:57 from the md5sum? Dec 08 08:21:10
