**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Thu Jul 09 10:11:52 2009 Jul 09 13:03:37 rabeeh, got the openrd box running without problem! pity it does not have a pci-e connector too Jul 09 13:34:49 dFfeM: what kernel / u-boot are you using? supplied ones or marvell git u-boot / kernel? Jul 09 13:35:20 eFfeM: If you want to try openrd-base board: There is a PCIe Slot available. Jul 09 13:35:48 didn't know about the base board, got this one from jeroen Jul 09 13:35:57 kernel is whatever it came witl, let me check Jul 09 13:37:38 2.6.22.18 kernel (oooold) uboot 1.1.4 (compiled april 22, 2009) Jul 09 13:38:07 guess i need to try usb boot Jul 09 13:38:34 I want to get the openrd running with git u-boot and kernel. So if you have some news regarding this you're welcome :) Jul 09 13:38:37 despite it being 2.6.22 it has ubi Jul 09 13:39:06 board is with fedora 8 (werewolf), didn't take a minute to boot as you indicated upfront Jul 09 13:39:31 dieter__: just starting with it, got this board last tue evening Jul 09 13:41:57 eFfeM: sadly the board is on my desk - but I haven't time to play with :( Jul 09 13:42:42 same here, overloaded with things to finish before vacation begins, but wanted at least to give it a try Jul 09 13:43:21 yeah - I gave it a try. Shipped u-boot and linux ran fine but git u-boot doesn't want to start. Thats where I am at the moment. Jul 09 13:46:11 normally what I do is use the shipped u-boot unless there are issues with it Jul 09 13:46:26 and leave it to marvell to update u-boot Jul 09 13:46:51 after the kernel is booted u-boot is gone anyway, for me it is just a means to get started Jul 09 13:47:01 Hm, I have integrated some code to flash an fpga so I decided to use the open git one Jul 09 13:47:44 you need to be careful as marvell probably added patches to their u-boot Jul 09 13:47:50 which are not merged yet Jul 09 13:48:34 yes - I know. I've also submitted a GPIO driver patch to prafulla. So hopefully I'm ready to run with git u-boot :) Jul 09 13:51:02 good luck! Jul 09 14:21:29 eFfeM: Thanks! Jul 09 15:02:46 dieter__: Hi..still have to play with my OpenRd Client. I wonder if the u-boot it comes with supports booting from a SATA drive? Jul 09 15:09:48 someone with writing skillz should write a article about sheevaplug to linux journal Jul 09 15:11:20 ..the june edition has a article about WD mybook world (a oxsemi based nas) without much substance, so surely they'd take a article of sheeva :) Jul 09 15:29:24 tinker-f595: Haven't tried SATA. Main focus is at PCIe at the moment. But as far as I've seen the delivered u-boot supports all features of the chip. Maybe you can ask prafulla on the wiki? Jul 09 15:30:56 dieter__: I will get round to playing with it soon enough. Still trying to work out how to get the sheevaplug booting from a usb drive ext formatted. The u-boot command docs are rough. Jul 09 15:31:52 They seem to be very old. Jul 09 15:33:01 tinker-f595: Maybe you can have a look at the wiki? AFAIR there are some infos about this? Jul 09 15:34:15 tinker-f595: http://plugcomputer.org/plugwiki/index.php/Das_U-boot_plug_support#How_to_boot_Sheevaplug_from_USB_Storage Jul 09 15:35:04 I looked at the wiki and I looked at the u-boot site and could not find any reliable info. I posted a question on the forum last night asking if ext was supported for booting and got the answer yes ext2 is, but not what the command is for loading from ext2. Jul 09 15:35:34 dieter__: That gives the command for booting from fat but not ext2 Jul 09 15:39:26 dieter__: thank you need to go work Jul 09 15:39:29 ciao Jul 09 15:40:16 ciao Jul 09 15:53:46 tinker-f595: tbm - who is also on this forum :) - has written a nice howto which may help you. Jul 09 15:53:59 tinker-f595: http://www.cyrius.com/debian/kirkwood/sheevaplug/ Jul 09 15:54:08 http://www.cyrius.com/debian/kirkwood/sheevaplug/unpack.html Jul 09 16:33:20 I just ordered from PogoPlug and I just realized likely it doesn't have the SD and USB slave port. How do I order one with those ports? Jul 09 16:33:45 ...I say likely because I don't see the ports on their website pictures. Jul 09 16:39:27 yea, I found the answer... I want to cancel and buy from other reseller. Jul 09 18:55:23 <__dieter__> Hi everybody - I'm looking for a lightweight framework for building a webfrontend for embedded ARM linux. Any suggestions? Jul 09 18:56:06 <__dieter__> e.g. to display cpu usage, ram usage... Jul 09 18:56:23 <__dieter__> configure network settings and so on Jul 09 19:11:18 __dieter__: lighttpd and a fastcgi CGI written in the language of your choice Jul 09 19:12:23 <__dieter__> Md: yeah - i've done it with mini_httpd and bash in the past but I'm looking for some "more elegant(tm)" solution :) Jul 09 19:12:34 that's it Jul 09 19:12:48 a sheevaplug has more than enough CPU and RAM Jul 09 19:14:41 <__dieter__> Hm, I think about displaying network traffic and cpu usage with history. Jul 09 19:15:23 <__dieter__> in very nice images created with java script in the browser. Jul 09 19:16:21 something like this? Jul 09 19:16:28 http://computingplugs.com/index.php/SheevaPlug_Real_time_Statistics Jul 09 19:23:39 <__dieter__> pushbox: yup - exactly :) Jul 09 19:26:38 <__dieter__> pushbox: Thanks a lot! Jul 09 19:27:29 no problem Jul 09 19:39:07 I think you just want to install munin Jul 09 20:04:12 <__dieter__> Md: looks also very interesting! Jul 09 20:06:39 <__dieter__> Md: there is also a muninlite which is a shell script :) Jul 10 02:59:05 dieter__: I f you are looking for a small webserver look at Boa Webserver http://www.boa.org/ **** ENDING LOGGING AT Fri Jul 10 02:59:57 2009
