**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Tue Feb 06 02:59:57 2007 Feb 06 06:48:56 hi Feb 06 06:49:09 i was about to throw this thing away, but thought I would try something different. Feb 06 06:49:45 do I need a root.jffs ? Feb 06 06:50:07 or is the debianslug-3.10-beta.bin good enough? Feb 06 06:58:17 hmm...so it rebooted. cant ssh into it though. Feb 06 07:07:26 hmm...im stuck. help Feb 06 07:11:11 found it...it wasnt static anymore. dhcp Feb 06 17:41:28 are there any newer smaller devices ? Feb 06 17:54:55 EPIA PX Pico-ITX? Feb 06 21:18:15 Hi Feb 06 21:18:43 ucslugc things would feet in this channel? Feb 06 21:20:49 most likely Feb 06 21:21:08 aham Feb 06 21:21:12 good to know Feb 06 21:22:08 i've been in the development list these days asking about ucslugc and finnaly we achieve a compilation Feb 06 21:22:27 but the image we build does not work Feb 06 21:22:32 Ah, I've seen the discussion Feb 06 21:22:46 and i am trying to debug Feb 06 21:22:55 now i have linksys image loaded Feb 06 21:23:06 Do you have serial? Feb 06 21:23:08 and im trying the redboot telnet stuff Feb 06 21:23:18 i do not have serial Feb 06 21:23:40 well, then debugging is very hard Feb 06 21:23:46 i bought my nslu 4 days ago Feb 06 21:23:54 some more Feb 06 21:24:18 btw, when building and flashing, you don't need to flash rootfs and kernel separately. Flashing the whole 8mb image should work just fine. Feb 06 21:24:28 yep Feb 06 21:24:31 (without overwriting redboot of course) Feb 06 21:24:42 but the ucslugc compilation doesn'y make a full binnary image Feb 06 21:24:47 only kernel and rootfs Feb 06 21:24:50 hmm Feb 06 21:24:53 that's a bit odd Feb 06 21:25:18 Please note that actually (nov-2005) the make ucslugc-image command does not produce a .bin file in the ./ucslugc/tmp/deploy/image of the building tree but the single file of the kernel and the filesystem. You have to use upslug2 utility for flashing your slug. Feb 06 21:25:27 so Feb 06 21:25:28 ah, ok Feb 06 21:26:20 i've been reading that to telnet redboot i only need to do a "arping -f 192.168.0.10; telnet 192.168.0.10 9000" Feb 06 21:26:30 and switch on the nslu Feb 06 21:26:37 now with the linksys firmware Feb 06 21:26:43 but it doesn't work Feb 06 21:26:43 yeah, that helps a bit, but it can't help you debug when it's booting Feb 06 21:27:19 i can't see kernel messages after telneting redboot? Feb 06 21:27:23 humm Feb 06 21:27:40 no, when the kernel loads, it only outputs messages to the serial port Feb 06 21:27:49 i thougth i could, im a bit newbie Feb 06 21:28:03 so i need to hack the serial stuff Feb 06 21:28:23 Yup Feb 06 21:28:28 You need a 3.3v serial port Feb 06 21:29:08 i've seen various methods to add a serial, anny recommendation? Feb 06 21:29:10 I've got a bunch of these: http://www.sparkfun.com/commerce/product_info.php?products_id=198 Feb 06 21:30:24 That's a very easy way to add serial to your slug Feb 06 21:31:46 is there a howto about adding that to a nslu? Feb 06 21:32:20 no, but it's dead easy Feb 06 21:32:41 wire RX<->TX, TX<->RX and GND<->GND ;) Feb 06 21:33:08 The pinout of the slug is on the wiki, the sparkfun thingy has rx,tx,gnd clearly marked Feb 06 21:33:18 ok Feb 06 21:33:39 If you have any problems connecting that thingy to your slug, just ask me ;-) Feb 06 21:33:48 ok Feb 06 21:33:50 thanks Feb 06 21:33:52 np Feb 06 21:34:44 I'll talk with my friend, he'll buy a nslu tomorrow, maybe we buy 2 of these cp1202 Feb 06 21:35:31 I've got too many embedded things, so I bought 6 of 'em ;-) Feb 06 21:36:00 :) Feb 06 21:36:44 im not good with hardware, but its time to start trying Feb 06 21:36:44 xD Feb 06 21:36:55 btw, you might want to get this one instead: http://www.sparkfun.com/commerce/product_info.php?products_id=199 Feb 06 21:37:06 same price, but it's got some extra GPIO lines Feb 06 21:37:32 so when (if) the driver ever supports the GPIOs, you can control stuff with it ;-) Feb 06 21:38:53 :)+ Feb 06 21:39:36 humm Feb 06 21:39:39 another thing Feb 06 21:40:12 is it supposed to work the arping stuff to telnet to redboot? Feb 06 21:40:28 i've tried many times but.. nothing Feb 06 21:40:38 I've managed to get into redboot many times with the arping trick Feb 06 21:41:32 i'll try with the workstation Feb 06 21:41:40 with the laptop does not work Feb 06 21:41:55 Are you connecting the slug directly to your laptop? Feb 06 21:42:03 with a cross cable Feb 06 21:42:17 Do you know if your network port is autonegotiating? Feb 06 21:42:37 because that might just take enough time for you to miss the redboot window Feb 06 21:42:58 the nslu answers the arping bu too late Feb 06 21:43:04 how can i know that? Feb 06 21:43:07 in that case, press and hold the reset button while powering on the slug. The status led should start blinkingred (IIRC) after a while. Feb 06 21:43:27 then it's "stuck" in redboot upgrade mode, so you can telnet it Feb 06 21:43:40 aam Feb 06 21:43:43 upgrade mode Feb 06 21:43:45 i've tried it Feb 06 21:44:15 but i was thinking about connecting in a normal boot Feb 06 21:44:26 ok Feb 06 21:44:33 i've things to finish here Feb 06 21:44:40 bye Feb 06 21:44:44 later Feb 06 21:44:45 thanks for the hints Feb 06 21:44:51 np Feb 06 22:00:59 if saladino returns, someone could tell him, that he should use arping 192.168.0.1.. instead 0.10... Feb 06 22:04:50 heh, didn't notice Feb 06 22:17:26 se jonbaine Feb 06 22:17:33 hi saladino !! Feb 06 22:18:05 if saladino returns, someone could tell him, that he should use arping 192.168.0.1.. instead 0.10... Feb 06 22:18:42 why? Feb 06 22:18:48 nslu has 192.168.0.10 ip Feb 06 22:19:04 afaik Feb 06 22:19:12 but not when it restarts Feb 06 22:19:39 when it restarts with the new firmware?? Feb 06 22:19:58 ahm Feb 06 22:20:04 i'll try caplink811-log Feb 06 22:20:09 according to my own knowlegde/experience and http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/HowTo/TelnetIntoRedBoot Feb 06 22:21:00 ow Feb 06 22:21:05 i thought it was an example Feb 06 22:21:09 trying Feb 06 22:21:38 it isn't, it is real life Feb 06 22:21:43 xDD Feb 06 22:23:02 ~wtf xdd Feb 06 22:23:05 Gee... I don't know what xdd means... Feb 06 22:23:11 ~botsnack Feb 06 22:23:11 caplink811-log: thanks Feb 06 22:25:37 it works perfectly Feb 06 22:25:43 thanks caplink811-log Feb 06 22:25:57 np Feb 06 22:26:05 ~emulate rwhitby Feb 06 22:26:13 Well, my work here is done. Feb 06 22:26:21 ~good boy Feb 06 22:26:21 caplink811-log: :) Feb 06 22:37:23 hi everyone, saladino and me are fighting with the ucslugc Feb 06 22:37:37 i?ve one question about emulation... Feb 06 22:38:19 can the arm processors (the NSLU2) be emulated with qemu?? Feb 06 23:28:22 I'm trying to build a package for SlugOS, gspcav1 - the newer version of the spca5xx video driver. It's giving me an error on the do_install Feb 06 23:29:13 portion of the build. I'm hoping someone here can look at it and maybe recognise the error and offer a nudge in the right direction. Feb 06 23:30:01 See here http://pastebin.com/877118 for the .bb file, teh build attempt and the log entry. It's got me stumped! Feb 06 23:30:09 s/teh/the Feb 06 23:34:22 pastebin is really slow today Feb 06 23:59:23 gremlins **** ENDING LOGGING AT Wed Feb 07 02:59:57 2007
