May 21 06:30:46 <blucalvin__> Any idea on how I can enable syslog in my angstrom (BeagleBoard XM)?
May 21 09:19:02 <danieldeusing> does anybody know how to install ftdi_sio to use usb to serial devices with angstrom but not having any package like kernel_module_usbserial
May 21 09:26:58 <lautriv> danieldeusing, get a toolchain, build from source
May 21 09:27:09 <danieldeusing> i have a toolchain
May 21 09:27:13 <danieldeusing> but cannot build
May 21 09:27:25 <danieldeusing> because its messed up with wrong links
May 21 09:27:40 <lautriv> danieldeusing, correct the links ?
May 21 09:34:38 <danieldeusing> uhm well, i thought there maybe is a better solution available
May 21 09:35:16 <lautriv> danieldeusing, how ? you need a kernel-module which has no package, so ...
May 21 10:34:35 <kalem> hey, does angstrom works on dm6446 ? 
May 21 10:36:20 <kalem> I'm tring MACHINE=dm6446-evm ./oebb.sh bitbake virtual/kernel but it fails
May 21 11:44:45 <danieldeusing> well lautriv 
May 21 11:45:06 <danieldeusing> now I get a lot of errors in the code of the ftdi drivers and that cannot be right
May 21 11:45:08 <danieldeusing> http://pastebin.com/8mT7BCY0
May 21 14:54:15 <lautriv> danieldeusing, still around ?
May 21 14:54:22 <danieldeusing> sure
May 21 14:54:51 <danieldeusing> crying like a baby cause i have to deal with things i dont know and normally not supposed to know 
May 21 14:55:40 <lautriv> danieldeusing, had a fast look over that errors, a bunch of them pointing out to be syntactical (typos) is this a vanilla kernel ?
May 21 14:55:56 <danieldeusing> the problem is that i cannot build the ftdi_sio neither with normal make instead of the toolchains one
May 21 14:56:14 <danieldeusing> well wait
May 21 14:56:28 <danieldeusing> my target is arm angstrom with 2.6.32.8
May 21 14:56:51 <danieldeusing> my developer system is a debian with a 3.2.0-2-amd64 kernel
May 21 14:57:31 <danieldeusing> and i have another server with a debian and 2.6.32-5-amd64 kernel
May 21 14:57:51 <danieldeusing> on both I cannot make and of course not with the toolchains compiler
May 21 14:58:20 <lautriv> danieldeusing, see, that was the first mistake, your messages pointing clearly to headers of 3.2.0-2-common which is obv. wrong.
May 21 14:58:40 <danieldeusing> I am trying to build these drivers: http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/VCP.htm
May 21 14:58:59 <lautriv> danieldeusing, is the target's kernel prepared with any patches ?
May 21 14:59:41 <danieldeusing> I dont know what u mean exactly, what shall I type to get the right output for your question ?
May 21 15:01:16 <lautriv> danieldeusing, see 2.6.38.8 is a generic versioning-number like you would pull from kernel.org but many targets (especially embedded) need some tune/change which is applied by patches.....do you know if there was any patch or rather where comes this source from ?
May 21 15:02:06 <danieldeusing> nope I dont know
May 21 15:02:27 <danieldeusing> http://pastebin.com/RwNKF8cn
May 21 15:02:32 <danieldeusing> If that helps u a bit
May 21 15:02:51 <danieldeusing> the repo includes the only packages available for this version
May 21 15:04:20 <lautriv> danieldeusing, a bit, ok. please paste cat /proc/cpuversion.
May 21 15:05:01 <danieldeusing> http://pastebin.com/PyxPrJZw
May 21 15:07:18 <lautriv> 197 BogoMips is nothing to break records ;) however i'll see if i can catch a bit more......were the sources alo in this repo/dir ?
May 21 15:07:33 <danieldeusing> which sources ?
May 21 15:12:06 <danieldeusing> under the devel category there is also the toolchain I am using to cross compile and my programs which I created I already cross compiled, now only the usb device needs to work
May 21 15:14:06 <lautriv> danieldeusing, found the toolchain but no kernel-sources. to build a module you need the exact same compiler and sources .
May 21 15:16:02 <danieldeusing> https://gitorious.digitalstrom.org/dss-oe/dss-oe/
May 21 15:16:18 <danieldeusing> I already didnt understand what this is supposed to be
May 21 15:16:31 <danieldeusing> but maybe u can explain me if this is useful
May 21 15:20:42 <lautriv> it's an overlay for OE but as far as i could see not related to this problem.
May 21 15:21:57 <danieldeusing> okay, and what to do now ?
May 21 15:21:57 <lautriv> danieldeusing, maybe it get's clearer if you tell me what you did.
May 21 15:24:45 <lautriv> danieldeusing, or let me ask the other way around...i assume you have some config-2.6.32.8 for this target ?
May 21 15:27:03 <danieldeusing> well, this server is open source and u can buy it in a store. thats what I did and I wrote a little program to receive and send signals with an usb device. I wrote this program using the servers VM (https://gitorious.digitalstrom.org/dss/). This I can all do with a normal debian. Now I want to test this on my real device. I downloaded the toolchain to cross-compile my programs and that worked fine, I got ELF 32 Files runnable on the 
May 21 15:27:03 <danieldeusing> server. Now I need the usb device working on the angstrom system. On debian it works automatically cause the ftdi_sio drivers are already included
May 21 15:27:49 <danieldeusing> and I dont know if I have a config-2.6.32.8
May 21 15:28:36 <lautriv> danieldeusing, this is mandantory to get a proper module, go to the target and look if something is in /boot
May 21 15:29:11 <danieldeusing> root@dSS:/home/dssadmin# ls -la /boot/
May 21 15:29:11 <danieldeusing> drwxr-xr-x    2 root     root             0 May 14 09:23 .

May 21 15:29:58 <lautriv> that'S all  not even initrd ?
May 21 15:30:09 <danieldeusing> thats all
May 21 15:30:31 <lautriv> ok, second chance: look if you have /proc/config.gz ( on target)
May 21 15:30:51 <danieldeusing> no
May 21 15:31:12 <lautriv> hard, something in /usr/src ?
May 21 15:31:27 <danieldeusing> root@dSS:/home/dssadmin# find / -name config
May 21 15:31:42 <danieldeusing> . /usr/share/libtool/config

May 21 15:32:22 <danieldeusing> eglibc-2.12-r27/ 
May 21 15:32:29 <lautriv> in the meantime, you may tell me the site who sells this thingies.
May 21 15:32:36 <danieldeusing> src only includes the folder debug
May 21 15:33:21 <danieldeusing> http://aizo.com/
May 21 15:36:00 <danieldeusing> well, u speak german right? can we move to query ?
May 21 15:37:09 <lautriv> ja, tu ich...PM
May 21 16:06:07 <GNUtoo-desktop> danieldeusing, isn't theses driver proprietary for x86 or x86_64?
May 21 16:06:50 <GNUtoo-desktop> ah no sorry
May 21 16:06:55 <GNUtoo-desktop> it seem GPL and with sources
May 21 16:07:08 <GNUtoo-desktop> so it should be possible to build them
