Jan 19 03:20:32 <snowsnakes> anyone know anything about utilizing the efuses on th eplug?
Jan 19 16:47:22 <UnaClocker> My SheevaPlug is one year old now. One year of continuous use. :)
Jan 19 17:03:08 <kerio> happy birthday!
Jan 19 17:10:37 <Kuifje111> uptime: 80 days
Jan 19 17:14:14 <tinker-f595> uptime 84 days --- accidentally unplugged the hard drive it is booting from or would of been up longer
Jan 19 17:14:29 <tinker-f595> 18 months old sheevaplug
Jan 19 17:15:08 <kerio> 4 days :<
Jan 19 17:15:19 <kerio> 4 days after a kernel panic or something :<
Jan 19 17:15:44 <tinker-f595> openrd client uptime 87 days -  need to put F13 on its hard drive
Jan 19 17:16:09 <tinker-f595> and build the latest kernel from stable
Jan 19 17:17:42 <Tootoot222> 8 days here, but only because i issued ``reboot'' into the wrong terminal XD
Jan 19 17:17:45 <Tootoot222> had 27 before that
Jan 19 17:18:32 <tinker-f595> ha
Jan 19 17:31:48 <Kuifje111> hah
Jan 19 17:31:58 <Kuifje111> anyone good with C++ here?
Jan 19 18:01:57 <mdm2k> Kuifje111: what's the question?
Jan 19 18:02:12 <Kuifje111> I already got an answer, thanks
Jan 19 18:07:37 <mdm2k> great
Jan 19 18:12:30 <kerio> you're welcome!
Jan 19 18:43:59 <dotblank> Hello
Jan 19 18:44:03 <Tootoot222> hi
Jan 19 18:44:10 <dotblank> I keep seeing references to boot into the debug board
Jan 19 18:44:21 <Tootoot222> on the guruplug or sheevaplug?
Jan 19 18:44:21 <dotblank> What is the debug board?
Jan 19 18:44:24 <dotblank> sheeva
Jan 19 18:44:43 <dotblank> I got my kernel to run on the device but can't flash the memory
Jan 19 18:44:49 <Tootoot222> the sheevaplug came included with a mini-usb cable; plug that cable into the side of the sheevaplug, and the other end into your laptop/desktop
Jan 19 18:44:58 <Tootoot222> the serial console you get from that is the debug
Jan 19 18:45:07 <dotblank> before uboot?
Jan 19 18:45:18 <dotblank> I get a uboot console from that
Jan 19 18:45:21 <Tootoot222> right
Jan 19 18:45:25 <dotblank> ah
Jan 19 18:45:42 <Tootoot222> you can push a temporary uboot into memory, if you brake the one that's stored
Jan 19 18:47:44 <dotblank> hmm the u-boot menu always pops up before I can get to the debug menu
Jan 19 18:48:51 <Tootoot222> you have 3 seconds to press any key to get the uboot prompt
Jan 19 18:49:20 <dotblank> ok I'm at the uboot prompt. how do I get to the debug board?
Jan 19 18:49:46 <dotblank> ahh " Initially boot the debug board from NFS location where uImage and jffs2 images are stored.
Jan 19 18:49:47 <dotblank> "
Jan 19 18:50:15 <dotblank> so the debug board are the images
Jan 19 18:51:24 <dotblank> I really sucks because the documentation mentions files I can't get find or download it seems.. ugh
Jan 19 18:51:40 <Tootoot222> yeah, the sheeva docs are a bit dated
Jan 19 18:51:45 <Tootoot222> what are you looking to do with your plug?
Jan 19 18:52:03 <dotblank> I created my own kernel and my own UBIFS root img
Jan 19 18:52:23 <Tootoot222> cool
Jan 19 18:52:24 <dotblank> I ahve custom software that will run and utilize the usb port to communicate with serial devices
Jan 19 18:52:40 <Tootoot222> neat
Jan 19 18:53:16 <dotblank> I compilied my kernel with all the neccesarry options and I got it to work but it VFS panics because I ahve no way of flashing mtd
Jan 19 18:53:31 <dotblank> I guess I could put my entire root on nfs
Jan 19 18:53:50 <dotblank> but I don't have these flash scripts the documentation is talking about
Jan 19 18:54:02 <dotblank> sh-3.2# flash_eraseall -j /dev/mtd1
Jan 19 18:55:57 <Tootoot222> if you're just looking to flash to the mtd, you can use the sheevaplug_installer_v1.0
Jan 19 18:56:42 <Tootoot222> just put your filesystem into a .tar.gz and use it instead of the provided rootfs.tar.gz
Jan 19 18:56:53 <Tootoot222> (you can use your custom kernel as well)
Jan 19 18:57:22 <dotblank> it runs with php?
Jan 19 18:57:54 <Tootoot222> yes, but i've rewritten the script to bash, if you want it
Jan 19 18:58:06 <dotblank> oh awesome
Jan 19 18:58:10 <dotblank> I'd rather have that
Jan 19 19:00:16 <Tootoot222> http://sprunge.us/CABW
Jan 19 19:00:37 <Tootoot222> it's functionally identical to the php one when run with the same arguements
Jan 19 19:01:13 <Tootoot222> ofc, i added some features, such as skipping burning the whole uboot binary (takes a long time, and unneeded if you have a working uboot)
Jan 19 19:01:25 <Tootoot222> (the -e flag ^)
Jan 19 19:01:43 <dotblank> yea I made my uboot ahead of getting the device
Jan 19 19:01:55 <dotblank> and tried pushing that but the header was invalid
Jan 19 19:01:57 <dotblank> so...
Jan 19 19:01:59 <Tootoot222> lol
Jan 19 19:02:02 <dotblank> meh not a big issue
Jan 19 19:11:48 <dotblank> hmm
Jan 19 19:12:05 <dotblank> openocd/openocd: error while loading shared libraries: libftdi.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Jan 19 19:12:11 <dotblank> I have the library installed
Jan 19 19:48:40 <dotblank> ugh the sheevainstaller uses 32 bit libs and won't laod with my 64bit libftdi
Jan 19 19:49:17 <dotblank> I tried recompiling openocd and libftdi but says it doens't support the nand drivers
Jan 19 19:49:31 <dotblank> oh what fun!
Jan 19 19:52:05 <Tootoot222> i have a 64bit openocd i compiled
Jan 19 19:52:14 <Tootoot222> (if you don't mind running a binary)
Jan 19 19:52:38 <dotblank> well my openocd works but I get the nand driver not found when running it
Jan 19 19:52:49 <dotblank> I wonder if I missed a configure option
Jan 19 22:36:31 <dotblank> none of the provided kernel images even work
Jan 19 22:36:58 <dotblank> Everytime I attempt to load a prebuilt image it just hangs on uncompressing kernel image
Jan 19 22:39:12 <Tootoot222> dotblank: did you set mainlinelinux and archnum?
Jan 19 22:39:26 <dotblank> yea
Jan 19 22:39:40 <dotblank> well to which?
Jan 19 22:39:48 <dotblank> because it can be slightly confusing
Jan 19 22:40:15 <Tootoot222> mainlinelinux = yes, and archnum = some 3 digit number, don't remember off the top of my head
Jan 19 22:42:02 <Tootoot222> setenv mainlineLinux yes; setenv arcNumber 2097
Jan 19 22:42:06 <Tootoot222> 4 digit*
Jan 19 22:42:11 <Tootoot222> dotblank: ^
Jan 19 22:42:48 <Tootoot222> also, if you're looking for kernel images to boot from (that are known to work), you can get them from http://sheeva.with-linux.com/sheeva/
Jan 19 22:43:02 <Tootoot222> (in the folder is the uImage)
Jan 19 22:46:12 <dotblank> hmm interesting
Jan 19 22:46:27 <dotblank> It spits out random chars when it loads the kernel
Jan 19 22:46:41 <Tootoot222> you probably didn't pass console=blah
Jan 19 22:46:45 <Tootoot222> in bootargs
Jan 19 22:47:25 <Tootoot222> console=ttyS0,115200
Jan 19 22:48:15 <dotblank> http://pastebin.com/PamsWcKx
Jan 19 22:48:21 <dotblank> yea I already had all that
Jan 19 22:48:31 <dotblank> thats my environment
Jan 19 22:49:05 <dotblank> oh wait the arcNumber got unset
Jan 19 22:50:19 <Tootoot222> yeah, you not only have to saveenv after setting arcNumber/MainLineLinux, but you have to reboot for them to take effect (instead of just running ``boot'')
Jan 19 22:51:33 <dotblank> well its still a no go with the terminal
Jan 19 22:54:12 <dotblank> I think my uboot got flashed
Jan 19 22:54:33 <dotblank> when I tried to use the sheeva installer
Jan 19 22:55:25 <dotblank> it just fails on multiple cpus
Jan 19 23:47:21 <Tootoot222> dotblank: did you solve your lack of NAND driver problem?
Jan 19 23:51:52 <Tootoot222> dotblank: did you solve your lack of NAND driver problem?
Jan 20 00:04:18 <dotblank> Tootoot222, no I havn't yet
Jan 20 00:04:28 <dotblank> well it turns out I did have nand support
Jan 20 00:04:46 <dotblank> and on 32 bit linux the tool segfaults anyway even though it does find the nand flash
