May 23 13:03:33 <jax55> has anyone experimented with the at91sam9g20ek or any of the at91sam series?
May 23 14:32:34 <ogra_cmpc> jax55, current ubuntu only supports ARMv7
May 23 14:33:07 <ogra_cmpc> for the atmel you are better off wiht debian i guess
May 23 14:33:18 <jax55> ogra_cmpc ... thx, ah...i read that it supports v5 too
May 23 14:33:34 <ogra_cmpc> jaunty (9.04) supported v5
May 23 14:33:37 <jax55> right
May 23 14:33:49 <ogra_cmpc> karmic (9.10) supported v6
May 23 14:33:59 <ogra_cmpc> and since lucid only v7 is supported
May 23 14:34:21 <jax55> right, thats what i read...so you think i should still go wit jaunty or go debian?
May 23 14:34:55 <ogra_cmpc> well, if you go with jaunty you are stuck at it, you wont be able to upgrade to any newer ubuntu version
May 23 14:35:17 <ogra_cmpc> if that doesnt bother you its fine, else i'd recommend debian
May 23 14:36:25 <jax55> yeah, that bothers me less....this whole ventrue started by the fact that the angstrom distro and kernel that comes with this board does not have the snd modules loaded properly so alsa breaks....so i decided to try ubuntu (which i preffer anyhow) .....also, do you have a good guide you could recomend? i currently have the angstrom distro on there,
May 23 14:37:13 <ogra_cmpc> well, you will have to roll your own kernel, there is none for that atmel board in ubuntu
May 23 14:37:31 <ogra_cmpc> beyond that, see the rootfs from scratch page from the channel topic
May 23 14:37:56 <jax55> gotcha...yeah, i had a feeling i am in uncharted terratory with this board
May 23 14:38:28 <jax55> i apreciate the pointers though, thank you very much
May 23 18:51:21 <Cosmo`> well rcn-ee
May 23 18:51:23 <Cosmo`> i finally succeeded
May 23 18:51:31 <Cosmo`> but it involved soldering and alot of USB cable splicing ... :)
May 23 19:03:34 <rcn-ee> cool Cosmo` good to hear...
May 23 19:04:20 <Cosmo`> thanks for your help :)
