**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Wed Apr 11 02:59:57 2007 Apr 11 03:02:59 sounds right Apr 11 03:03:09 so you have /home/slug/kernel/Makefile now? Apr 11 03:04:04 yep got it now Apr 11 03:06:07 "make apex" will do something Apr 11 03:06:24 you may want to link your downloads dir to the same dir above Apr 11 03:06:31 ln -s ../downloads . Apr 11 03:08:25 ok gotcha... I set up the extra PATH's per your previous info. So do that from the kernel dir? Apr 11 03:09:01 yup I see apex in the Makefile - gonna try it now Apr 11 03:09:46 you can also go "make APEX_CONFIG=debian apex" to use the debian config Apr 11 03:10:10 (it defaults to slugos config) Apr 11 03:10:14 oops says devio command not found Apr 11 03:12:07 what OS are you running on? Apr 11 03:12:20 CentOS 44 Apr 11 03:12:33 4.4 I mean Apr 11 03:12:53 ok, I have a devio-1.3-1 package installed. Apr 11 03:13:04 got it - lemme see if I can yum it Apr 11 03:13:23 looks like I built it here Apr 11 03:14:14 couldn't find it (even tried "yum install devio-1.3-1" Apr 11 03:15:23 you know how to build rpm's given source and .spec? Apr 11 03:15:25 http://pastebin.ca/433964 Apr 11 03:17:10 I've seen it done, never done it myself. Is it better to just try one of the other RPM sources? If it's easier with the "./configure; make; make install" then that would be easier (for me) but more likely to have issues and dependency problems. Apr 11 03:17:21 I'll upload an RPM for you Apr 11 03:18:09 ok thanks! Apr 11 03:21:04 http://ftp.osuosl.org/pub/nslu2/sources/devio-1.3-1.i386.rpm Apr 11 03:21:16 can you put that on the wiki somewhere? Apr 11 03:22:04 * RobNC is already documenting this - awaiting completion for Wiki CTRL-V :-) Apr 11 03:22:46 love your work Apr 11 03:23:27 Thanks, just wish Firefox would let me "preview" it. Preview on the wiki does nothing, so I keep having to save, view, edit, etc. Apr 11 03:24:16 oops - wget shows not found Apr 11 03:24:33 should that be .src.rpm Apr 11 03:25:16 nope, I just downloaded it from there. Apr 11 03:25:54 hmm... I went one dir up and I only see devio-1.0, 1.1, 1.2.tar.gz Apr 11 03:26:04 perhaps some sort of mirroring hiccup? Apr 11 03:26:55 must be some sort of caching on osuosl.org Apr 11 03:27:18 yeah that is the only thing that makes sense Apr 11 03:27:50 try http://140.211.166.134/pub/nslu2/sources/devio-1.3-1.i386.rpm Apr 11 03:28:31 bing Apr 11 03:28:45 (meant to say bingo) Apr 11 03:30:05 yep it rpm'ed just fine. Apr 11 03:30:21 re-trying the make APEX_CONFIG=debian apex Apr 11 03:30:58 you can then use slugimage to package them up, or tftp them manually Apr 11 03:31:11 so you should be all set for apex experimenting now, right? Apr 11 03:31:31 cool - three different versions of apex. I see that Apex 1.4.18 was just released Apr 11 03:32:58 yeah I'll do as I already know - slugimage and then tftp them from my server to SLUG. Apr 11 03:33:28 03rwhitby * r820 10kernel/trunk/ (Makefile patches/apex/series): Update to apex 1.4.18 Apr 11 03:33:41 you can build 1.4.18 there now if you like Apr 11 03:34:06 re-do that svn again? Apr 11 03:34:49 svn up Apr 11 03:35:02 make clobber-apex Apr 11 03:35:14 make .... Apr 11 03:35:54 ok gotcha... thanks (never could have done this myself!) Apr 11 03:37:15 that's good, cause I doubt I could do the fatslug hardware mod successfully :-) Apr 11 03:37:32 yup yup, that did it... now see apex-debian-nslu2-arm-1.4.18.bin Apr 11 03:39:04 Heh yeah this is true; I wouldn't even attempt it w/o microscope and SMT tools. BTW, I did rip off the old SDRAM 32Mx16 (4) and clean them up. Microscope was in use all day today (by others) so I didn't have any time to get started. Found a header though; now I have all I need to mod ur board. Apr 11 03:41:38 sweet! Apr 11 03:41:59 actually converted 2x6 to 1x6 :-) Apr 11 03:43:05 how/where are you going to mount that header? Apr 11 03:45:19 was going to do it per: http://www.nslu2-linux.org/gallery/jtag/LandslideJTag but it might not be possible... can't recall where VSS/VCC (aren't they on the end of the connector?) are located. The point of using the center for VSS/VCC is that you can use the thru-hole cap to firmly hold the header. Apr 11 03:46:03 the pinout will be different than that pic, but layout location might be okay. Apr 11 03:46:27 looking at http://www.nslu2-linux.org/gallery/jtag/NSLU2_board_rear_jtag Apr 11 03:46:53 One my other devslug, I put the jtag header between the two black dots underneath the ethernet port Apr 11 03:47:42 the pins stick out just enough that I was able to shave the case off enough to stick the jtag cable onto the header with the case closed at the same time the ethernet is plugged in Apr 11 03:48:06 I'll take a couple of photos and show you Apr 11 03:48:31 I see. ok, sure. I'll prolly superglue it then, and use some mylar to keep the eth left alone Apr 11 03:50:11 so the header stop (black part) was closer to the edge of the board than the thru-hole mounts for the ethernet? Apr 11 04:00:26 uploading images now Apr 11 04:04:42 http://www.flickr.com/photos/rwhitby/sets/72157600063668169/ Apr 11 04:07:23 looking now. Not sure what that wire is that seems to go from the eth ground overtop of the connector Apr 11 04:07:46 oh, that was just to hold down the connector Apr 11 04:07:58 (I didn't have any glue handy) Apr 11 04:08:54 ok gotcha... gotta watch out b/c 3.3V and gnd (ethernet connector) don't like to come too close :-) Apr 11 04:09:46 those treos don't take good close-up pics :-( Apr 11 04:10:51 if it was me, I'd probably put some mylar tape underneath the ethernet surround. Guess I've just seen too many failures, but if you'r careful it is prolly ok Apr 11 04:12:59 ok, I see a good pic - I'll use that as a reference and it keeps it easy to not make mistakes. Apr 11 04:15:58 it wasn't a treo - it's a cheap digicam Apr 11 04:16:36 yeah I figured as much when I realized it was better than 640x480 Apr 11 04:16:41 and had flash Apr 11 04:17:28 did you just dremel that out of the case; you didn't need to "eat" into the side, right? Apr 11 04:17:57 I just cut it down with a knife, until it was flush with the inside of the side. Apr 11 04:18:43 actually, it might be better if you don't mount the header or cut the case. Apr 11 04:18:50 ok, sharp knife! That makes sense. Apr 11 04:19:12 cause I had to adjust it fairly finely to fit the cable. Not something you could get right without having the cable there. Apr 11 04:19:17 ok, I could just use flex cable (ribbon-type) and then bend it back for shipping. Apr 11 04:19:28 sweet. Apr 11 04:20:30 I may decide to not even have it protruding and not cut the case. Apr 11 04:20:32 Only thing I would be concerned about is hopefully when you pull the cable out, there isn't stress put on the pads. Those pads are so easy to rip right off, and they like to attract the opposite voltage potential Apr 11 04:21:12 this particular unit already had a big hole in the case, so I wasn't worried about cutting another one. Apr 11 04:21:40 yeah, same with mine. Once you use the dremel tool or x-acto knife, the warranty is definitely void!! Apr 11 04:21:49 heh Apr 11 04:22:28 so please keep the case you send me unaltered. then I can choose to use the other case, or just take the board out of the case for JTAG when required. Apr 11 04:22:57 Sure, I'll leave the case unaltered. So for the custom Apex build you did, there are some parameters you had to modify? Apr 11 04:23:23 nope, the binary you get for the slugos config should be identical to what I sent you Apr 11 04:23:42 ah ok so nothing special for 2nd stage boot, or extra mem commands? Apr 11 04:23:57 nope - that's all in there already. Apr 11 04:24:17 I saw there was a Konfig that had lots of stuff not enabled Apr 11 04:24:39 s/Konfig/Kconfig/ Apr 11 04:24:40 RobNC meant: I saw there was a Kconfig that had lots of stuff not enabled Apr 11 04:25:06 which things not enabled? Apr 11 04:25:49 CMD_MEMSCAN - default n, CMD_MEMLIMIT default n, Apr 11 04:26:55 the patches should enable that Apr 11 04:27:17 patches/apex/enable-commands.patch Apr 11 04:27:20 ok, gotcha... hard to take a 5 minute look at all of this and understand it completely Apr 11 04:30:34 RobNC: this was the previous connector on that slug: http://www.nslu2-linux.org/gallery/34pin_universal_connector Apr 11 04:30:41 but I ripped all that off. Apr 11 04:30:44 Didn't know MEMLIMIT was enabled - looks like it is now. Apr 11 04:31:17 yeah I asked some guys at work and they never heard of a 34-pin universal. Apr 11 04:32:45 that 34-pin was a nightmare! Apr 11 04:35:01 yeah, a real frankenstein. Apr 11 04:35:32 only ever used the serial and jtag, so ripped it off and replaced it with the connector at the ethernet port. Apr 11 04:35:42 bbiab (lunch) Apr 11 04:35:56 ok, ttyl gotta get to sleep anyway :-) Apr 11 04:36:02 thanks for your help - wiki'ing right now Apr 11 04:36:50 03bzhou * r5913 10optware/trunk/make/py-pastedeploy.mk: py-pastedeploy: 1.1 -> 1.3 Apr 11 16:43:22 03bzhou * r5914 10optware/trunk/make/py-sqlobject.mk: py-sqlobject: 0.8.1 -> 0.8.2 Apr 11 16:43:56 03bzhou * r5915 10optware/trunk/make/ipython.mk: ipython: 0.7.3 -> 0.8.0 Apr 11 18:35:02 03bzhou * r5916 10optware/trunk/make/pound.mk: pound: 2.2 -> 2.3, may still have runtime problem Apr 11 21:19:27 03blaster8 * r821 10kernel/trunk/patches/2.6.21/ (8 files in 2 dirs): Update SquashFS to 3.2r2, no LZMA support as yet Apr 12 00:08:36 03bzhou * r5917 10optware/trunk/make/libcurl.mk: libcurl: 7.16.1 -> 7.16.2, added openssl to DEPENDS, added -lssl to LDFLAGS Apr 12 00:09:37 03bzhou * r5918 10optware/trunk/make/py-curl.mk: py-curl: chasing libcurl, now uses openssl Apr 12 00:21:11 03bzhou * r5919 10optware/trunk/make/py-webhelpers.mk: py-webhelpers: 0.2.2 -> 0.3 Apr 12 00:21:37 03bzhou * r5920 10optware/trunk/make/py-pylons.mk: py-pylons: 0.9.4 -> 0.9.5 Apr 12 02:52:04 03bzhou * r5921 10optware/trunk/make/py-curl.mk: py-curl: clean py-curl-doc before rebuild **** ENDING LOGGING AT Thu Apr 12 02:59:57 2007
