Aug 30 18:49:44 <J__> Hi I was trying to complie kernel image for Zire 31, but errors occured http://pastebin.ca/1929288 any ideas how to fix it?
Aug 30 18:58:55 <Marex> sed -i "s/ACBIAS/BIAS/" arch/arm/mach-pxa/palmz31.c
Aug 30 18:58:59 <Marex> J__: ^
Aug 30 18:59:12 <Marex> someone should mainline PalmZ31 support too :/
Aug 30 18:59:44 <Marex> GPIO77_LCD_ACBIAS <--- this was renamed to GPIO77_LCD_BIAS
Aug 30 19:00:48 <J__> ok
Aug 30 19:03:45 <J__> It worked but now I got, make[2]: *** [kernel/time/clocksource.o] Chyba 1
Aug 30 19:06:00 <J__> I had this same error when I was trying it about half year ago I was googleing for weeks, couldn't solve.
Aug 30 19:19:36 <Marex> J__: pastebin
Aug 30 19:20:07 <Marex> J__: the problem might simply be the kernel source being too outdated ... I think it might be easy to bring it mainline though
Aug 30 19:20:16 <Marex> J__: do you want to hack on it ?
Aug 30 19:21:30 <J__> Marex: sure I want to hack on it :-) http://pastebin.ca/1929309
Aug 30 19:23:13 <Marex> J__: what compiler do yo use ?
Aug 30 19:23:22 <Marex> J__: or rather ... what version of gcc that is
Aug 30 19:24:05 <J__> Marex: yes gcc is bit out dated it's 3.3.2
Aug 30 19:24:39 <Marex> J__: you need at least 4.2.4
Aug 30 19:25:00 <Marex> where the heck did you get such an ancient version ...
Aug 30 19:25:51 <J__> I don't really remember :-D
Aug 30 19:26:57 <Marex> well update your thing
Aug 30 19:27:00 <Marex> http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/marex/pxa-linux-2.6.git;a=blob;f=arch/arm/mach-pxa/palmte2.c;h=93c11a0438d5ac5b04705e67a1a0d5919854c0b4;hb=refs/heads/work
Aug 30 19:27:10 <Marex> ^ this should give you an idea how to port it to mainline kernel then
Aug 30 19:27:26 <Marex> it's palmte2 port that's been mainlined some time ago
Aug 30 19:27:58 <Marex> J__: how good with C you are ?
Aug 30 19:29:30 <J__> Marex: actually really bad, I'm a beginner in programming
Aug 30 19:30:01 <Marex> J__: that's what I was ... many years ago
Aug 30 19:30:20 <Marex> J__: I learnt a lot while hacking on kernel
Aug 30 19:30:47 <Marex> you just need a tremendous amount of will to overcome obstacles
Aug 30 19:32:46 <J__> thanks for the advice I appreciate it, I hope I'll learn as much as I can
Aug 30 19:33:19 <Marex> J__: I'm willing to guide you, but everyone who told me something similar ran away
Aug 30 19:34:07 <Marex> J__: what distro do you run btw ?
Aug 30 19:34:15 <Marex> and what version of it too
Aug 30 19:34:50 <J__> Marex: Ubuntu Lucid Lynx
Aug 30 19:35:24 <Marex> J__: and where did you get such an old compiler in ubuntu ?
Aug 30 19:37:05 <Marex> J__: I use these on debian http://www.emdebian.org/crosstools.html
Aug 30 19:37:09 <J__> well I never compiled anything with gcc before and I couldn't get the compiler that was there running so I installed this 3.3.2 one :-D
Aug 30 19:37:40 <Marex> J__: you are aware that you need crosscompiler to produce code that can run on ARM architecture, right ?
Aug 30 19:37:49 <J__> yes
Aug 30 19:40:11 <Marex> J__: try this repository "deb http://www.emdebian.org/emdebian-tools/ testing main"
Aug 30 19:40:14 <Marex> it might work
Aug 30 19:40:35 <Marex> you will need this one too "deb http://buildd.emdebian.org/debian/ testing main"
Aug 30 19:40:41 <J__> Marex: oki I'll try it and I know that you are czech so would you mind going to hackndev-cz (I am Slovak)
Aug 30 19:41:24 <Marex> hackndev-cz's been cut off
Aug 30 19:42:10 <J__> oki, I didn't know that
Aug 30 19:42:33 <Marex> J__: btw http://wiki.debian.org/EmdebianToolchain <--- this link was just sent to me from my emdebian friend, that I should forward this to you :)
Aug 30 19:45:21 <Marex> J__: http://people.canonical.com/~hrw/ubuntu-maverick-armel-cross-compilers/ <--- this might be even better ...
Aug 30 19:45:37 <zumbi_> hi
Aug 30 19:46:06 <Marex> J__: zumbi_ is the guy you'll like to talk about when it comes to debian crosscompilers :)
Aug 30 19:46:16 <Marex> zumbi_: thanks
Aug 30 19:47:11 <J__> Marex: great :)
Aug 30 19:47:20 <zumbi_> hi J__
Aug 30 19:47:38 <J__> hi zumbi_
Aug 30 19:47:41 <zumbi_> I have to go cooking ASAP, but please let me know what you need?
Aug 30 19:48:09 <zumbi_> J__: http://wiki.debian.org/EmdebianToolchain has some useful notes
Aug 30 19:48:35 <zumbi_> I have just added latest debs on squeeze and unstable (those should be synced now)
Aug 30 19:49:09 <Marex> zumbi_: it should be ok if he adds this line "deb http://people.canonical.com/~hrw/ubuntu-maverick-armel-cross-compilers/ ./" to /etc/apt/sources.list, right ?
Aug 30 19:49:23 <zumbi_> J__: cross tools are independent from native packages, so you could use emdebian (stable,testing,unstable) repo without any problem on ubuntu
Aug 30 19:49:42 <Marex> zumbi_: then apt-get update ... apt-get install gcc-4.4-arm-linux-gnueabi
Aug 30 19:50:18 <zumbi_> What Marex points out is hrw builds, but i am not sure how he handles them, but those are specific for ubuntu, so it might work as well
Aug 30 19:50:43 <zumbi_> Marex: yeap and linux-libc-dev-armel-cross
Aug 30 19:51:00 <Marex> zumbi_: back to taylor's series ;D
Aug 30 19:51:19 <zumbi_> hey! :)
Aug 30 19:52:17 <zumbi_> at hrw site, there is only armel support, while at emdebian we aim to add all official arches (as we did for lenny)
Aug 30 19:57:35 <zumbi_> i belive i have broken emdebian repo in some way
Aug 30 19:57:51 <zumbi_> i'll need to test and fix sometime soon
Aug 30 20:05:05 <J__> really? so that's why I can't install gcc-4.4-arm-linux-gnueabi :)
Aug 30 20:05:27 <Marex> J__: from emdebian or hrw's repo ? what problem do you get ?
Aug 30 20:08:12 <J__> Marex: from emdebian, when I try apt-get install it gives me http://pastebin.ca/1929347
Aug 30 20:10:13 <Marex> J__: you're installing from testing or what ?
Aug 30 20:10:36 <Marex> try ... apt-get -t testing install {gcc,cpp}-4.4-arm-linux-gnueabi
Aug 30 20:13:08 <J__> Marex: It gives me the same thing cpp-4.4-arm-linux-gnueabi: Závisí na: libmpfr4 ale sa nedá nainštalovať
Aug 30 20:14:26 <Marex> try 4.3 or 4,2
Aug 30 20:15:21 <J__> 4.3 works
Aug 30 20:18:23 <Marex> J__: stick with that one then
Aug 30 20:18:35 <Marex> you don't want 4.5 yet ... and 4.3 is fine
Aug 30 20:19:46 <J__> ok
Aug 30 20:20:23 <Marex> J__: well ... to compile the kernel ...
Aug 30 20:20:36 <Marex> make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabi- menuconfig
Aug 30 20:20:42 <Marex> make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabi- -j 3
Aug 30 20:20:53 <Marex> that should produce arch/arm/boot/zImage
Aug 30 20:21:09 <Marex> make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabi- INSTALL_MOD_PATH=/some/where modules_install
Aug 30 20:21:15 <Marex> will install modules into /some/where
Aug 30 20:22:21 <J__> oki what should I do in menuconfig except enabling Zire31?
Aug 30 20:22:55 <Marex> maybe you should run the following command prior to running menuconfig ...
Aug 30 20:23:03 <Marex> make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabi- palmz31_defconfig
Aug 30 20:23:14 <Marex> then run menuconfig etc. ... .
Aug 30 20:24:59 <J__> well there is no palmz31_defconfig
Aug 30 20:25:19 <Marex> is there palmte2_defconfig ?
Aug 30 20:25:22 <Marex> errr ...
Aug 30 20:25:27 <Marex> maybe try palmz31_config
Aug 30 20:27:19 <J__> I've got palmte, palmtt, z71, z72
Aug 30 20:28:38 <Marex> palmte should be close
Aug 30 20:28:53 <Marex> hey
Aug 30 20:28:59 <Marex> there IS palmz31_defconfig
Aug 30 20:29:19 <Marex> arch/arm/configs/palmz31_defconfig
Aug 30 20:29:39 <Marex> J__: are you sure ... make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabi- palmz31_config ... does not work ?
Aug 30 20:29:42 <Marex> does it complain ?
Aug 30 20:31:09 <J__> http://pastebin.ca/1929361
Aug 30 20:32:21 <Marex> J__: where did you get that kernel source from ?
Aug 30 20:33:35 <J__> Marex:kernel.org
Aug 30 20:34:12 <J__> I tought it doesn't matter where the kernel comes from.
Aug 30 20:34:17 <Marex> J__: there's no support for palmz31 there
Aug 30 20:34:29 <Marex> no, palmz31 was never pushed mainline
Aug 30 20:34:39 <Marex> it was in the hackndev kernel tree and never anywhere else
Aug 30 20:37:13 <J__> heh I tought all I need is a patch, ok I'll download the kernel from hackndev
Aug 30 20:39:29 <Marex> git is down, Farcaller moved the servers ... FTTB, use this http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/unstable/sources/git_git.hackndev.com.hackndev.linux-hnd.git_8f62c3b8a7e7de042846211f387a867f6703f272.tar.gz
Aug 30 20:48:20 <J__> oki now I have the correct kernel so I'm going to try  make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabi- palmz31_defconfig
Aug 30 20:49:22 <J__> hey it worked :D
Aug 30 20:57:21 <J__> I tried make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabi- -j 3 and I got http://pastebin.ca/1929379
Aug 30 20:58:59 <J__> I think asm/arch/pxapwm-bl.h is wierd I haven't seen anything like folder asm and I couldn't find pxapwm-bl.h
Aug 30 20:59:02 <Marex> J__: hang on
Aug 30 21:03:40 <Marex> J__: edit arch/arm/mach-pxa/palmz31/palmz31.c and remove "#include <pxapwm_bl.h>"
Aug 30 21:03:43 <Marex> should be fine
Aug 30 21:08:32 <Marex> J__: fixed ?
Aug 30 21:08:45 <J__> yes
Aug 30 21:09:19 <J__> few warnings but, Kernel: arch/arm/boot/zImage is ready :D
Aug 30 21:09:37 <Marex> J__: try booting it ... http://marex.hackndev.com/cocoboot.prc might or might not work
Aug 30 21:14:10 <J__> I don't need anything else just zImage? I read something about initramfs
Aug 30 21:16:59 <Marex> J__: nope ... zImage should be ok
Aug 30 21:17:18 <Marex> initramfs is integrated into kernel, initrd is not ... but you don't need either for now
Aug 30 21:17:50 <J__> ok
Aug 30 21:19:44 <zumbi_> J__: i believe you should be able to install gcc-4.4 now :)
Aug 30 21:21:11 <J__> zumbi_: oki thanks for the information
Aug 30 21:21:54 <J__> Zire was discharged have to charge it up :(
Aug 30 21:42:41 <J__> Oki I'll charge Zire31 over night and come back here tomorow to tell you if the image is working, I really appreciate your help guys.
