**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Tue Nov 03 02:59:57 2009 Nov 03 17:23:48 Can anyone recommend a page for building an ubuntu arm-eabi toolchain for cross compiling? Everything I've come across so far has not worked Nov 03 17:25:29 BeardedChimp: Do you need to build your own? CodeSourcery's compiler works great. Nov 03 17:31:08 Do I need to recompile their packages, the tarballs have it listed as IA32 and I'm 64 Nov 03 17:34:16 really? that sucks Nov 03 17:36:09 armin76, being 64 you mean ? Nov 03 17:38:12 being 64 and codesourcery's not being 64 Nov 03 17:47:43 BeardedChimp: Try lool's PPA for the cross compilers: https://edge.launchpad.net/~lool/+archive/ppa Nov 03 17:50:11 Unfortunately that seems to be mostly karmic im running jaunty Nov 03 17:51:12 ok Nov 03 17:51:51 upgrade! Nov 03 17:51:51 going to run the codesourcerys stuff anyway, see if i can force it Nov 03 17:52:07 BeardedChimp: Just install the compat libraries and you'll be fine Nov 03 17:52:09 armin76: Nah for the likes of rootfs etc. I feel better on jaunty atm Nov 03 17:52:53 well, if you refer to the rootfs script (rootstock), it works twice as fast under karmic :) Nov 03 19:07:42 I want to known something about the ARM version of Ubuntu. Nov 03 19:08:42 Are the same drivers of X86, for ARM too? Nov 03 19:15:32 what? Nov 03 19:15:40 Salvad: which drivers? Nov 03 19:16:29 For example: I want to use a Joystick in a device with Ubuntu for ARM. Nov 03 19:17:07 Have one to recompile them in order to work on ARM? Nov 03 19:17:56 Recompile the drivers. Nov 03 19:18:38 you need to recompile everything Nov 03 19:19:08 Is easy to recompile the drivers for ARM? Nov 03 19:20:42 Does this distribution works with Nvidia tegra? Nov 03 19:31:40 woot Nov 03 19:32:01 Salvad: ARM is not a sub distribution, is an architecture, completely different to x86 Nov 03 19:32:22 Yes, I know that. Nov 03 19:32:25 Salvad: there's no nvidia hardware on arm Nov 03 19:32:50 Nvidia Tegra integrates an ARM processor. Nov 03 19:33:27 but i doubt it can run a linux distro Nov 03 19:34:07 Why not? Nov 03 19:35:19 well, i'm no expert, but how do you input data? does it have serial or something? Nov 03 19:35:32 from where do you boot from? Nov 03 19:38:01 Mmm. Nov 03 19:38:22 Tegra is a system. Nov 03 19:38:39 It compunds insternal hardware. Nov 03 19:38:44 *Internal. Nov 03 19:38:56 The Zune HD uses it for ezample. Nov 03 19:39:03 *Example. Nov 03 19:39:55 looks like i talk too much :P Nov 03 19:40:15 well, maybe it could Nov 03 19:40:19 how, no clue Nov 03 19:42:19 http://www.chw.net/2009/09/nvidia-chrome-os-con-tegra-sera-grito-y-plata/ Nov 03 19:42:30 Al parecer si va a soportar Linux. Nov 03 19:42:52 Mmm. Nov 03 19:43:10 Is an article written in Spanish. Nov 03 19:43:33 It says that it will support Chome OS. Nov 03 19:43:48 Salvad: i believe that drivers will cross compile in most cases Nov 03 19:43:55 unless they're in arch Nov 03 19:44:38 What cross compile means? Nov 03 19:46:03 well, maybe cross compile is the wrong word Nov 03 19:46:11 build on multiple architectures Nov 03 19:46:34 for example, a few years ago i discovered that ARM was capable of using standard pcmcia drivers Nov 03 20:05:21 Does Ubuntu for ARM has great drivers support? Nov 03 20:09:47 Salvad: it has all the drivers the kernel supports Nov 03 20:11:18 My joystick could possibly run on it so!. Nov 03 20:12:39 I am waiting for the ARM netbooks to be on the market. Nov 03 20:13:08 I hope a cheap one supports Ubuntu. Nov 03 20:14:13 The will be very light in weight, low energy consuming and fanless maybe. Nov 03 20:58:47 Salvad: there's one already, always innovating touchbook Nov 03 20:59:26 Does it have a Touch scrren? Nov 03 20:59:34 *Screen. Nov 03 20:59:46 have no clue Nov 03 20:59:48 *Has. Nov 03 21:00:03 I am waiting for an Asus. Nov 03 21:00:22 That will come in 2010. Nov 03 21:00:37 It will be cheap apparently. Nov 03 23:31:46 armin76, yes it has a touchscreen. i have one right now. Nov 04 00:24:32 ogra, with 2.6.32-rc6 landing alot of the beagleboard now works on mainline. What's the best way to introduce a new target via config for lucid? ;) **** ENDING LOGGING AT Wed Nov 04 02:59:57 2009
