Sep 16 09:17:52 <hrw> did someone built xmbc for armel?
Sep 16 09:18:32 <twb`> hrw: doesn't appear to be in the archive at all
Sep 16 09:18:40 <hrw> twb`: I know
Sep 16 09:18:49 <twb`> File an RFP
Sep 16 09:18:49 <hrw> would not ask if it would be ;D
Sep 16 09:19:13 <hrw> https://launchpad.net/~team-xbmc/+archive/unstable/+packages has source packages
Sep 16 09:42:48 <rbasak> I'm having trouble "PXE" booting my pandaboard. I'm doing "setenv pxecfg_ram 0×88000000" yet "pxecfg get" reports "Load address: 0x0" and then it crashes. Has something changed since the docs I'm reading, or am I just using an old u-boot version?
Sep 16 09:46:39 * rbasak asks in #u-boot
Sep 16 10:22:55 <jamespage> rbasak: this works for me - https://gist.github.com/1205751
Sep 16 10:57:49 <rbasak> Thanks jamespage. Why the second partition?
Sep 16 10:58:15 <jamespage> rbasak: I don't think you actually need that if you are just using for PXE boot/install
Sep 16 10:58:29 <jamespage> but that is a standard 2 partition layout
Sep 16 10:59:48 <rbasak> Ah OK
Sep 16 10:59:53 <rbasak> I've not seen ENV.txt before
Sep 16 11:00:07 <jamespage> I got that off the Ubuntu ARM QA page
Sep 16 11:00:39 <jamespage> my arm preseed pulls that script in the late_command onto the install system
Sep 16 11:00:55 <jamespage> so I can just login and re-image the SD card ready for a fresh network install
Sep 16 11:01:07 <jamespage> reboot and off you got - tada!
Sep 16 11:01:52 <rbasak> OK that worked, I think it was the MLO/u-boot.bin binaries that I was using that didn't have proper support
Sep 16 11:02:08 <rbasak> Now I just need to fix the cobbler end - it's not booting an i386 kernel for some strange reason :-)
Sep 16 11:03:18 <jamespage> rbasak, I did jot a few notes
Sep 16 11:03:19 <jamespage> http://pad.ubuntu.com/arm-server-netboot
Sep 16 11:03:27 <rbasak> thanks!
Sep 16 11:18:56 <janimo> ppisati, hi, do you need to do anything special in cross kernel builds for the linux-tools package? I read they were special in some regard and may need extra cross libs
Sep 16 11:38:41 <rbasak> jamespage: all working, no issues at all following your instructions - thanks!
Sep 16 11:39:51 <jamespage> rbasak, np - glad it was helpful
Sep 16 12:46:06 <nasatyo> test
Sep 16 13:01:09 <ppisati> janimo: never cross compiled linux-tools
Sep 16 13:01:21 <ppisati> janimo: when i recompiled it, i did it on the panda
Sep 16 13:01:29 <ppisati> janimo: after it's not much stuff
Sep 16 13:01:38 <janimo> ppisati, but when you build a source package, does it not build the tools too?
Sep 16 13:01:50 <ppisati> janimo: no
Sep 16 13:01:57 <ppisati> janimo: ah wait
Sep 16 13:02:06 <janimo> hmm, I thought it is the same source. perf & co
Sep 16 13:02:11 <ppisati> janimo: i alwats cross compile just one kernel flavour
Sep 16 13:02:20 <ppisati> janimo: yep, same source
Sep 16 13:02:26 <ppisati> janimo: but i just cross the kernel
Sep 16 13:02:31 <janimo> ah
Sep 16 13:02:58 <janimo> I thought everything that is built on the servers is also cross compiled before by devs while testing
Sep 16 13:03:24 <ppisati> janimo: just cross compile the kernel because is handy
Sep 16 13:03:35 <ppisati> and much faster
Sep 16 13:04:02 <janimo> jcrigby, have you cross-compiled  linux-tools for the kernels you maintain?
Sep 16 13:04:10 <janimo> ppisati, indeed
Sep 16 13:11:22 <ppisati> "
Sep 16 13:18:00 <rsalveti> janimo: there are a few patches specifically for proper cross support at linux-linaro
Sep 16 13:18:10 <rsalveti> afaik for scripts and so on
Sep 16 13:18:24 <rsalveti> maybe jcrigby also fixed the tools
Sep 16 13:58:56 <jcrigby> janimo, I am able to cross compile with do_tools on.  There are some patches there that make it work.  You also need some arm libs installed.
Sep 16 13:59:34 <janimo> jcrigby, is this written up somewhere? Specifically which patches and which libs :)
Sep 16 14:00:13 <jcrigby> janimo, no but I will do that and put it in a wiki and let you know.
Sep 16 14:00:15 <janimo> jcrigby, I'd like to do a full cross-build of a kernel tree for a single flavour, the toshiba ac100, and to follow linaro/ubuntu kernel processes
Sep 16 14:00:22 <janimo> jcrigby, thanks a lot!
Sep 16 14:01:08 <jcrigby> janimo, np.  Something I've been meaning to do for some time.
Sep 17 00:56:29 <brokencodes> Why can I not get to the login prompt in qemu-arm?
Sep 17 00:58:09 <brokencodes> Room == Dead, or full of parkers?
Sep 17 00:59:07 <infinity> Or it's a weekend.
Sep 17 00:59:16 <brokencodes> then parkers...
Sep 17 01:00:17 <infinity> And I assume you mean "qemu-system-arm", not "qemu-arm"?
Sep 17 01:00:22 <brokencodes> si
Sep 17 01:00:31 <brokencodes> yes
Sep 17 01:01:02 <infinity> In which case, not sure.  You might not have a console on your command line, or a variety of other fun things.
Sep 17 01:01:14 <infinity> But I have a birthday party to get to (my own), so I should probably not try to be helpful. :P
Sep 17 01:01:27 <brokencodes> have a blasty, happy birthday
Sep 17 01:01:37 <infinity> Some people do hang out here on weekends.  You're more likely to get helpful responses on a weekday, though.
Sep 17 01:01:52 <brokencodes> When I walk away from the PC, I usually do /nick brokencodes_afk
Sep 17 01:01:56 <brokencodes> but who am I?
Sep 17 01:02:21 <infinity> We tend to discourage noisy away (nick changes or messages).
Sep 17 01:02:31 <infinity> Because in channels with hundreds or thousands of users, it's effin' irritating. ;)
Sep 17 01:03:04 <brokencodes> how old are ye now, infinity ?
Sep 17 01:03:10 <infinity> Too old.
Sep 17 01:03:15 <brokencodes> since it is thine birthday...
Sep 17 01:03:20 <infinity> 34 today.
Sep 17 01:03:38 <brokencodes> go blow out the candles, before the friigin house burns down, I'm 37...
Sep 17 01:03:47 <infinity> Anyhow.  Off to drink until I forget how old I am. ;)
Sep 17 01:04:08 <brokencodes> that could take quite a few drinks, 34 was a good year for me...
Sep 17 01:04:34 <brokencodes> made my first million then
Sep 17 01:05:03 <brokencodes> Why can I not get to the login prompt in qemu-system-arm?
Sep 17 01:11:26 <brokencodes> Why can I not get to the login prompt in qemu-system-arm???
Sep 17 01:17:50 <brokencodes> sniffle
