**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Mon Dec 22 02:59:56 2008 Dec 22 18:36:23 Anyone here? Dec 22 18:37:01 I'm trying to run the sercomm utility Dec 22 18:37:36 when I choose "browse" it lists several hex strings under device list, but it doesn't identify any as "NSLU2" Dec 22 18:37:52 (I'm running Vista, btw) Dec 22 18:38:35 When I power down the NSLU2 (which was running in upgrade mode), one of the devices disappeared from the Sercomm list... so that's probably it, but I'm concerned that it didn't show up properly. Dec 22 18:39:04 Should I just d/l a Linux LiveCD and use upslug2? Dec 22 19:01:38 hi everyone, ive installed a hp 930c printer on my nslu (unslung) and want to change this to a epson dx 4450. how do i go about doing this? its been ages since i set up the 930c Dec 22 19:02:00 oh and this is a multifunction printer so will i be able to network the extra functionality of the printer? Dec 22 19:02:57 for the latter, AFAIK, its possible, but might need extra software Dec 22 19:03:14 for the prior, plug it in, go to the web interface, it should find the printer.. at most oyu'll need to provide a ppd for it Dec 22 19:05:06 FYI, to answer my own previous question, I upgraded using upslug2 in linux... it turned out that the device name that I suspected WAS indeed the NSLU2 MAC addr and the version number was the same that upslug2 detected. Dec 22 19:05:45 Either way, it wasn't worth taking the chance, so I upgraded using upslug2, and it appeared to work Dec 22 19:07:19 im trying to add the printer through the cups web interface. how do i find out my device uri? Dec 22 19:25:31 actually seemed to work out a lot easier when i used internet explorer and cups detected the printer for me. Dec 22 19:43:56 how would i go about networking the scanner? Dec 22 21:05:42 Is there any reason why (or when) the gcc option -Os isn't valid/cases issues on embedded devices? Dec 22 21:07:07 Waldorf: same reasons for any optimization selection - different/conflicting goals Dec 22 21:07:41 sorry, i don't follow... Dec 22 21:08:13 There are bits of code and cases where you may need the absolutely fastest possible execution, and you may be willing to accept a larger executable size. Dec 22 21:09:21 On the other hand, you may have situations where bugs in the compiler, or specialized hardware even, may prohibit the use of certain optimization levels. Dec 22 21:10:34 I just heard of a few who had that issue (with -Os) Dec 22 21:11:14 mwester: but you didn't hear of anything specific for NSLu2? Dec 22 21:11:50 Yeah, there are some projects that don't use Os and use O1 instead due to issues; I'm not certain that's required for all versions of gcc. And it's certainly not specific to the NSLU2. Dec 22 21:12:21 The core Unslung and SlugOS software is all built with -Os, IIRC. Dec 22 21:13:00 Oo Dec 22 21:13:15 ok, then I know enough Dec 22 21:14:46 thanks! Dec 22 21:16:01 :) np Dec 22 21:17:13 Just FYI, IIRC the Perl stuff is built with -O1 because -Os has been suspected of causing trouble --- just to give yoiu an example such a situation. Dec 22 21:19:05 Strange, you maybe know wich gcc causing this? (or a rough idea?) Dec 22 21:19:55 nope. somebody would have to do back to the original commit in the repo that changed it to -O1 and see if whoever changed it documented their reasoning. Dec 22 21:20:16 (I know on Apple/Xcode it always defaults to -Os, so it can't be that recent...) Dec 22 21:22:23 -Os is a reasonably well-tested and not an "extreme" optimization level. Lots of devices are interested in small code, and there are only a few things you can really do to make small code. The areas you get more likely to have bugs are when you turn on special hardware/processor features, and optimize for speed -- these are often packages that handle video or audio, or other real-time-like activities. Dec 22 21:23:24 hmm Dec 22 22:52:26 is there someone that have experience with Nslu2 firmware on synology NAS **** ENDING LOGGING AT Tue Dec 23 02:59:57 2008
