Apr 20 03:46:28 <sl__> hello  all,
Apr 20 03:50:06 <sl__> Does everybody use the linux kernel provided by Marvell SDK? Or someone has experience to port the board to newer linux kernel version that is not supported by Marvell sdk?
Apr 20 03:50:23 <Tootoot222> sl__: most everybody uses the mainline linux
Apr 20 03:50:37 <Tootoot222> it's been supported in mainline since like, 2.6.28 or something
Apr 20 03:50:49 <Tootoot222> you just have to change 2 settings in the uboot settings
Apr 20 03:50:58 <Tootoot222> (mainlinelinux and arcnum)
Apr 20 03:51:12 <Tootoot222> it depends on what plug you have for the arcnum
Apr 20 03:51:56 <Tootoot222> setenv mainlineLinux yes
Apr 20 03:51:57 <Tootoot222> setenv arcNumber 2097
Apr 20 03:51:57 <Tootoot222> saveenv
Apr 20 03:52:03 <Tootoot222> 2097 is the number for a sheevaplug
Apr 20 03:52:24 <Tootoot222> 2659 is for guruplug
Apr 20 03:53:22 <Tootoot222> dreamplug is the same as guruplug (they just repackaged the board in a non-overheating case =p)
Apr 20 03:53:31 <Tootoot222> when you build you kernel
Apr 20 03:53:53 <Tootoot222> make it like a normal kernel, make menuconfig; make; make modules modules_install install
Apr 20 03:54:01 <Tootoot222> then as the final step you do
Apr 20 03:54:02 <Tootoot222> make uImage
Apr 20 03:55:00 <Tootoot222> and copy the arch/arm/boot/uImage onto your usb or tftp server for flashing to the plug
Apr 20 03:55:04 <Tootoot222> http://plugcomputer.org/plugwiki/index.php/Compiling_Linux_Kernel_for_the_Plug_Computer
Apr 20 03:55:07 <Tootoot222> there's some instructions here
Apr 20 03:57:16 <sl__> Tootoot222, Thank you :D
Apr 20 03:58:52 <Tootoot222> np
Apr 20 03:59:12 <Tootoot222> sl__: alternatively
Apr 20 03:59:13 <Tootoot222> http://sheeva.with-linux.com/sheeva/
Apr 20 03:59:17 <Tootoot222> there's precompiled binaries here
Apr 20 03:59:22 <Tootoot222> if you don't want to spend an hour compiling
Apr 20 03:59:30 <Tootoot222> even if you don't mind compiling, you can grab the configs from there
Apr 20 03:59:35 <Tootoot222> they will work perfectly fine
Apr 20 04:00:52 <Tootoot222> (if you're going with the precompiled, don't forget to grab the modules.tar.gz as well, and extract it to /  sudo tar -xaf sheeva-3.3.2-Modules.tar.gz -C /
Apr 20 04:01:07 <Tootoot222> and then run depmod
Apr 20 04:01:12 <Tootoot222> (on the plug ofc)
Apr 20 04:01:51 <sl__> um.. I prefer to compile it ....This help me learn more...
Apr 20 04:02:05 <Tootoot222> sure
Apr 20 04:02:40 <Tootoot222> the configs work perfectly out of the box, so if you ever get stuck or don't know if something should be compiled in or not, you can use it as a reference
Apr 20 04:02:46 <Tootoot222> (or just use the whole thing, if you like)
Apr 20 09:45:29 <lioka> hi
Apr 20 09:46:38 <lioka> i have ionics cirrus, trying to find kernel patches for it. rings any bell ?
