**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Thu Oct 09 02:59:57 2008 Oct 09 08:38:42 where is the kernel image placed when I bitbake linux and how do I install it? Oct 09 08:39:06 or more specifically, is it possible to install it as a normal ipkg operation? Oct 09 09:42:58 it's under tmp/deploy/glibc/image Oct 09 09:43:08 and you can't install it with ipkg normally. Oct 09 09:43:16 depending on your hardware you have to flash it Oct 09 09:53:01 ok Oct 09 09:53:45 for other packages, how do I make a feed? Oct 09 09:53:45 what device is this? Oct 09 09:54:14 it's a at91sam9261ek Oct 09 09:54:32 when you build them with OE they get put in a feed under tmp/deploy/glibc/ipk (or similar, I don't remember exactly) Oct 09 09:54:44 then you just serve that directory on a web server and point the device at it Oct 09 09:54:48 I've added FEED_DEPLOYDIR_BASE_URI to local.conf, but no Packages file was created (which was I thought that option would do) Oct 09 09:56:02 is this angstrom 2007.x or 2008.x? Oct 09 09:56:25 I downloaded an example, which I think was 2007.x Oct 09 09:56:43 but the default feeds were unpopulated Oct 09 09:56:50 so I added 2007.x feeds Oct 09 09:57:40 I couldn't find 2008.x image for this platform Oct 09 09:57:58 They're not out. I think you have to build your own for the most part Oct 09 09:58:16 ok Oct 09 09:58:56 I don't know why it's not making you a Packages file though Oct 09 09:59:19 I added the option only recently Oct 09 09:59:42 the deploy dir was already populated with some packages, but I don't see why that should make a difference Oct 09 10:00:09 it shouldn't Oct 09 10:00:28 also, it made a Packages file for me without me adding that option Oct 09 10:01:23 it might have something to do with me building an image though Oct 09 10:01:36 hmm Oct 09 10:01:47 what image targets existed? Oct 09 10:02:03 I I want gpe as default Oct 09 10:02:08 look in org.openembedded.*/packages/images Oct 09 10:02:18 x11-image is probably the right choice, then Oct 09 10:02:53 hmm Oct 09 10:03:10 there's gpe-image, x11-gpe-image and x11-image Oct 09 10:04:03 I used x11-image and it gives you a nice bare x11 setup. then you can install gpe packages on top of that Oct 09 10:05:10 it's strange, I always get "preferred version 2.6.1 of glibc not available" Oct 09 10:05:51 it should be available in my cross build environment... Oct 09 10:06:40 I'll try to build an image and see if that creates a Packages.gz file Oct 09 10:06:55 I get that message about glibc as well. seems harmless Oct 09 10:09:07 there should be information about how to manually create a feed in the manual Oct 09 10:09:31 johnx: thanks for the help - hope it works :) Oct 09 10:10:36 in the past, it's always been automagic Oct 09 10:10:54 when I did it, I was just looking for info on how to make a feed when I realized I already had one :) Oct 09 15:30:43 is opengl supported in the base-x11 or opie packages? Oct 09 15:31:25 probably not unless you install mesa Oct 09 15:31:50 you know if mesa is supported on opie? Oct 09 15:32:01 good question Oct 09 15:32:03 I like the zarus binary compat it offers Oct 09 15:32:12 w/ gpe compat overlay Oct 09 15:32:39 does opie still have the qte binary compat? Oct 09 15:32:48 good question Oct 09 15:32:58 dunno ... I'm an angstrom newb Oct 09 15:33:27 I am still struggling to install it over my familiar install Oct 09 15:33:52 looking to go opie on it though Oct 09 15:34:28 johnx: do you know if mtd is supported in 2007.x on h5000? Oct 09 15:34:42 I have no idea about the ipaqs Oct 09 15:34:43 sorry Oct 09 15:34:51 I need to confirm that before I brick the unit ;) Oct 09 15:35:11 k **** ENDING LOGGING AT Fri Oct 10 03:00:06 2008
