**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Thu Jun 25 02:59:57 2009 Jun 25 07:20:17 I need to make a leaner OE defconfig for the plug. I'm positive 2/3 of the modules compiled couldn't possibly have any use on it :> Jun 25 07:21:06 otherwise, pluggy ran with a webcam, a 3G modem and a wifi stick on an unpowered hub all night and it's still happy (if warm!), nice Jun 25 08:17:46 BusError what 3G modem are you using for it? Jun 25 08:17:57 Ah, and what wifi stick? Jun 25 08:18:37 huaey e220 for the modem Jun 25 08:19:23 wifi stick a random usb one. 'wn321g' cheapo .. works fine with hostap ! Jun 25 08:21:43 sounds good! Jun 25 08:22:22 even got tinc encrypted tunnel working over 3g, so I can in fact ssh back into the plug over 3g :> Jun 25 13:14:56 lennert: ping Jun 25 13:15:16 I'm looking into the orion gpio linux driver and have a question :) Jun 25 13:16:20 dieter_: shoot Jun 25 13:17:00 what happens if I request and use an gpio which is configured as for example mpp usage for SD card interface? Jun 25 13:17:23 I couldn't see if this is somewhere forbidden, isn't it? Jun 25 13:17:45 Or should it? I've discussed this yesterday with prafulla for the u-boot driver. Jun 25 13:25:18 dieter_: i don't know if that's excluded, but Jun 25 13:25:25 dieter_: you shouldn't just go around requesting random gpios Jun 25 13:25:33 dieter_: before you request the gpio, you need to know what that gpio does Jun 25 13:25:48 dieter_: so the case you describe should not happen in practice Jun 25 13:26:22 yeah, sure. I asked because prafulla told me yesterday to ensure exactly this Jun 25 13:27:16 lennert: should there be a possibility to allow runtime configuration of MPP usage? Jun 25 13:27:42 dieter_: well, maybe, but i don't know of any boards that allow this Jun 25 13:27:55 I think there is no need for this. This is defined at board level, right? Jun 25 13:28:03 dieter_: yes Jun 25 13:28:21 dieter_: so if there's boards that have external multiplexing, we can add it, but i don't think it makes sense to add it before that time Jun 25 13:28:32 lennert: ok - so I will go on fighting with git to get some patches ready for prafulla :) Jun 25 13:28:44 dieter_: sounds like you're having fun :) Jun 25 13:29:03 lennert: yes - it's really fun. But much do learn and no time :( Jun 25 13:29:33 dieter_: thank god you can just ask people on irc and don't have to google for things :)) Jun 25 13:29:39 * lennert runsss :) Jun 25 13:29:51 lennert: yes - this is really really helpful :)) Jun 25 13:30:28 lennert: nearby - I've got my openrd-base board from nu horizon today. Looks very nice and has SATA and PCIe, too :) Jun 25 13:31:05 dieter_: cool, didn't know those were shipping yet Jun 25 13:31:24 lennert: seems so - I've got mine :) Jun 25 13:31:31 dieter_: nice Jun 25 13:31:38 dieter_: now we need a board support file for it :) Jun 25 13:32:13 get cracking :> Jun 25 13:32:21 lennert: yes - thats why I tell it to you :)) Jun 25 13:32:23 dieter_, how much was it ? Jun 25 13:32:49 dieter_: but i dont have one :) Jun 25 13:33:51 lennert: I have to order 3 because of minimum order quantity. cost 150$ /piece Jun 25 13:34:20 lennert: but sadly I haven't time to switch it on - terrible... Jun 25 13:34:41 dieter_: we don't have time if we don't make time :) Jun 25 13:35:21 yeah thats right - today evening there is time to play with it :) Jun 25 13:35:25 hehe Jun 25 13:45:11 lennert: I bouth it to connect my FPGA by PCIe to kirkwood - so now you know why my time is running short :) Jun 25 13:50:49 lennert: a quick lock at the schematics -> the marvell rd kernel should run quite well :) Jun 25 13:51:35 dieter_: go for it :) Jun 25 13:52:13 lennert: I will give you some feedback as soon as I have run it up :) Jun 25 13:52:33 dieter_: okay :) Jun 25 13:53:53 * dieter_ thinks its time to make some time :) Jun 25 13:55:00 :) Jun 25 13:56:10 hm - no black smoke so far... Jun 25 13:58:14 dieter_: don't worry, you've got two more boards Jun 25 13:59:00 lennert: thanks for bolstering me! Jun 25 14:00:29 damn - the ftdi_sio driver doesn't seem to be responsible for the usb jtag dongle :( Jun 25 14:02:04 dieter_: i think you have to add an ID Jun 25 14:02:46 lennert: yes I try to load it with modprobe manually Jun 25 14:03:13 libusb + libftdi Jun 25 14:08:27 BusError: no only minicom at the moment - but no ttyUSBx device appears Jun 25 14:09:23 aaaahhhh, now it worked :) Jun 25 14:09:59 Fedora release 8 (Werewolf) Jun 25 14:09:59 Kernel 2.6.22.18 on an armv5tejl Jun 25 14:09:59 OpenRD login: Jun 25 14:09:59 Fedora release 8 (Werewolf) Jun 25 14:09:59 Kernel 2.6.22.18 on an armv5tejl Jun 25 14:13:08 dieter_: nice Jun 25 14:13:56 lennert: aaarrrrgghhh: they don't provide the root password :( Jun 25 14:15:51 dieter_: ooops Jun 25 14:15:59 lennert: where have I heard nosoup4you ? Jun 25 14:16:14 It works - I think it was the same at the password on the sheeva? Jun 25 14:16:17 or was it nosoup4u? Jun 25 14:16:38 ShadowJK: thats what I want to write :) Jun 25 14:17:09 uname -a shows: Linux OpenRD 2.6.22.18 #1 Wed Apr 22 20:31:28 IST 2009 armv5tejl armv5tejl armv5tejl GNU/Linux Jun 25 14:17:34 someone sure wanted to mention armv4tejl ;) Jun 25 14:17:36 u-boot is also patched 1.1.4 - so I think they use the same setup as for marvell rd board Jun 25 14:17:49 err..armv5tejl i mean Jun 25 14:18:08 yes - only to be sure :) Jun 25 14:18:57 looks very nice - flash is running with ubifs and seem to be pretty fast :) Jun 25 14:19:05 Ahhh, it's time to play :) Jun 25 14:20:01 are you in the US ? UK ? feel like getting rid of one of yours ? :> Jun 25 14:21:32 No, I'm in Germany near Munich :) Jun 25 14:25:58 is PCIe expected to work with latest marvell git kernel? Jun 25 14:28:52 dieter_: yep, it works fine on many kirkwood boards i have Jun 25 14:29:25 lennert: nice to hear - so I know that my VHDL code is buggy if it doesn't work :) Jun 25 14:30:09 dieter_: exactly :) Jun 25 14:41:58 lennert: if you are interested in I can upload the board support packages to our companies ftp server? Jun 25 14:43:08 dieter_: just email the -setup file to linux-arm-kernel@, cc buytenh@wantstofly.org ? Jun 25 14:44:09 lennert: ok Jun 25 14:46:35 lennert: hm, there is 2.9MB big patch agains the marvell kernel - I have to setup the marvell stuff first and apply the patch. Jun 25 14:46:45 lennert: will take until tomorrow :( Jun 25 14:49:12 dieter_: alright Jun 25 14:50:15 lennert: I've opend the patch - the board file should be somewhere in mach-feroceion-kw? Jun 25 14:50:27 dieter_: oh, you're using the marvell kernel Jun 25 14:51:00 No - not I - they :) Jun 25 14:51:14 that's why I wrote I have to setup the marvell stuff :) Jun 25 14:52:39 They are using a patched 2.6.22 kernel and also a patched 1.1.4 u-boot Jun 25 14:53:39 dieter_: oh, i thought you were going to email me a board support file against kernel.org Jun 25 14:54:10 lennert: additionally this is not a patch only for the openrd board - this a patch for all of the marvell kirkwood and orion boards against 2.6.22 Jun 25 14:54:27 lennert: Hm, this may take a few years :)) Jun 25 14:54:44 dieter_: yes Jun 25 14:55:23 lennert: so I fear this patch isn't really helpful for arm-linux list, isn't it? Jun 25 14:55:57 dieter_: nope Jun 25 14:56:12 lennert: would it be interesting at least for you? Jun 25 14:57:25 dieter_: probably not Jun 25 14:58:08 lennert: hm - I will try to run a git kernel tomorrow and tell you if I'm successful! Jun 25 14:58:22 dieter_: okay Jun 25 23:34:41 is there a thermal sensor anywhere in the plug ? Jun 25 23:35:42 I doctored the chassis, it's just running /way/ too hot in there, just added spacers and left the case about 3cm open. I'll need to find a cleaner way... Jun 25 23:41:11 BusError: no Jun 25 23:42:03 what about an alternative PSU ? what voltage does it need on the board ? Jun 25 23:47:03 just +5Vcc Jun 25 23:47:42 BTW, if you open it it's not obivious that the air flow will be improved Jun 25 23:52:32 there is no airflow in there. just 1/2mm wide vents. you need convection for airflow, here there's just a LOT of heat **** ENDING LOGGING AT Fri Jun 26 02:59:57 2009
