00:53.18T0mW<sigh> some day, not today, I will learn not to install updates from the cooker!
00:54.28kergothheh
01:01.36T0mWnewt requires that I use perl-base-5.8.6, so I loaded that from cooker.  It broke vi
01:01.45T0mWwell, vim
01:01.58T0mWHTF do you break vi?
01:05.17T0mWat least vim-minimal still works
01:08.17T`|Helibreak vim!
01:23.23Russanyone know much about the vma nopage stuff and friends?
01:24.57T0mWwell, if I'm to break my system, I might as well do a really good job of it
01:25.01T0mWrpm -qa | grep perl | sed 's:-[0-9].*::' | xargs -ithis urpmi this

02:30.38prpplaguedo uclinux ppl just not hang on irc?
03:11.32T0mWprpplague: well, after all, they have a perfectly good listserver...
03:12.48prpplagueT0mW: oh? the ucdot.org list?
03:15.56T0mWhttps://mailman.uclinux.org/mailman/listinfo/uclinux-dev
03:18.08kergothi love mailing lists, but they arent a replacement for irc
03:18.16kergothheh
03:18.46T0mWprpplague: also checkout Erwin's stuff: http://uclinux.home.at/
03:18.54T0mWprpplague: he does atmel ARM uclinux
03:19.14prpplaguekergoth: yea, i find them good for finding out about what kinda of problems ppl are having
03:19.27prpplaguekergoth: but nothing beats the interaction of irc imho
03:19.59prpplagueits sooo odd being in uncharted territory
03:20.55T0mWprpplague: heh, yeah, those were the early daze of uClinux
03:21.02prpplagueT0mW: thats right, i forgot you did some uclinux stuff
03:21.43T0mWprpplague: there are some good people on the list
03:21.53prpplagueRuss: is all of your code lost?
03:22.07prpplagueRuss: i really wanted to look at that jtag-mtd driver
03:37.10prpplagueT0mW: i'm beginning to wonder about putting a full fledged os on the pixter
03:37.30T0mWyeah
03:37.55T0mWI've been struggling with fscking chinese fonts borking my build
03:38.10prpplagueT0mW: or atleast something like uclinux
03:38.43T0mWprpplague: uClinux is quite invasive as to the changes you have to do to the kernel
03:39.01T0mWprpplague: it's not like you edit a head.S someplace
03:39.25T0mWthat may have changed in the past three years...
03:40.51prpplagueT0mW: yea i'm not sure either
03:42.07prpplagueT0mW: i have to assume that mattel will eventually add more flash and ram to their devices using the lh75411
03:46.24T0mWprpplague: linux-2.6.8/arch/m68knommu/
03:46.56T0mWprpplague: nothing has changed in three years, it is still a lot of invasive changes
03:47.34prpplagueT0mW: i'm wondering if i should write a small linux-like os for arm7
03:47.49prpplagueT0mW: be good for learning OS
03:48.04T0mWheh
03:52.39prpplaguewell the arm7tdmi part is already done
03:52.49T0mWprpplague: your best bet is Erwin's uClinux pages.  I see that his uClinux stuff was not incorporated into the 2.6 kernel.
03:52.49prpplagueits the drivers that would need tweaking
03:53.28prpplagueT0mW: that the url you gave me earlier?
03:53.37T0mWpeople at Lineo were very territorial about uClinux, I know.
03:53.51T0mWuClinux is still very closely held
03:54.03T0mWprpplague: yeah, uclinux.home.at
03:54.16prpplagueT0mW: yea, i noticed that about uclinux
03:54.26T0mWprpplague: Erwin is a good guy, he should be helpfull
03:54.50prpplagueT0mW: i've got alot of the hardware planned and tested
03:55.02prpplagueT0mW: deciding where to go on the software is the problem now
03:55.21T0mWwell
03:56.37prpplagueT0mW: still wish i could convince a few ppl to jump on board
03:57.20T0mWprpplague: your basic uClinux system consists of a crt0.S to start the processor, then memory layout, then interrupt handlers.
03:58.11T0mWprpplague: basically, you have to custom write all your hardware interfaces.  Luckily, stuff like the romfs, scheduler, timer, etc. was incorporated into 2.6
03:58.32T0mWprpplague: you have to learn to use printk
03:58.33T0mWheh
03:59.28prpplagueT0mW: oh, me and printk are best buds

04:00.39prpplagueT0mW: i think i'm gonna order one of those revely boards to do some testing with
04:00.52prpplagueT0mW: i ordered some ram chips today as well
04:01.17prpplagueT0mW: gonna replace the onboard ram with a 1MB chip
04:01.57prpplagueT0mW: either that or stick the ram on the external connector
04:02.48prpplagueT0mW: also, i think what Cosmic and i discussed today was to swap the chip selects for the onboard rom with one of the chips selects on the external connector
04:02.59prpplagueT0mW: that way i can boot from the external flash
04:03.49*** join/#elinux cdm (~cdm@adsl-69-109-209-107.dsl.pltn13.pacbell.net)
04:05.06T0mWprpplague: swapping the connector pin sounds like a good idea
04:07.53T0mWprpplague: it looks as if they isolated the files that need to be changed within the linux/arch dir.  You could take the m68knommu tree and build your 75xxx tree using that as a template?
04:08.13prpplagueT0mW: there is a arm7tdmi tree
04:08.18T0mWwhere
04:08.19T0mW?
04:09.23cdmyeah, the samsung guy has one.
04:09.25cdmit totally sucks.
04:09.53prpplagueT0mW: andersee gave me the link
04:10.00prpplagueT0mW: let me see if i can find it
04:10.38T0mWah
04:10.40cdmlook up samsung uclinux armnommu
04:10.53cdmbut I warn ya, he really has no clue what he is doing.
04:11.00T0mW~google samsung uclinux armnommu
04:11.15prpplaguecdm: uhh, and how would that differ from me?
04:11.16prpplaguehehe
04:12.52cdmprpplague, he has dangerous and totally incorrect changes to the kernel.
04:13.04cdmwhich is why no one will accept his patch set into the main kernel tree. ;)
04:13.08prpplaguecdm: ahh
04:13.11cdmunlike say the m68knommu guys.
04:13.22prpplaguecdm: well i'm sure my hacks are probably not worth either
04:13.28prpplagueT0mW: oh oh oh
04:13.36prpplagueT0mW: i think i've found something
04:13.44prpplagueT0mW: i think i can hack the pixter camera
04:13.58T0mWcamera?
04:14.12prpplagueT0mW: sorry haven't added it to the wiki yet
04:14.37T0mWfuxking chinese fonts

04:15.05prpplagueT0mW: http://besttoys.net/pixcolsysbyf.html
04:15.29prpplagueT0mW: looks like it has 256KB ram and 1MB flash
04:15.41T0mWI've spent two hours trying to keep the chinese fonts out of the build.  I guess I'll know more about locales than I've ever wanted to. :(

18:19.36sorphinheh
18:19.40sorphinprpplague: progress
18:22.38CosmicPenguinprpplague: nice
18:23.09prpplagueyea, i just can't decide if uclinux is the way to go
18:23.17CosmicPenguinprpplague: well, you could always sort of start working on your own sort of thing
18:23.36CosmicPenguinprpplague: if you can see the timer tick, then you can schedule against it... :)
18:24.19prpplagueCosmicPenguin: yea, well i've never done that level of os programming before
18:25.26CosmicPenguinprpplague: its fun to play, to see how things work
18:25.48prpplagueCosmicPenguin: http://www.netrino.com/Books/EmbeddedC/examples.html
18:25.48kergoth_hm, strlcpy and strlcat are nice, its too bad linux doesnt have them
18:25.49CosmicPenguinprpplague: but in reality, if you want to start running apps against it, you're going to need something with a syscall interface and all that jazz
18:26.08prpplagueCosmicPenguin: yea
18:26.19prpplagueCosmicPenguin: i was looking at pogoshell for gba
18:27.06CosmicPenguinprpplague: thats cool
18:27.13CosmicPenguinprpplague: what graphical engine does it use?
18:27.17CosmicPenguinprpplague: or does it roll its own?
18:27.25prpplagueCosmicPenguin: pogoshell? no idea
18:27.35prpplagueCosmicPenguin: i'm sure its a roll your own
18:29.14prpplagueCosmicPenguin: hehe, you really forget how nice the OSS community is until your doing something totally on your own
18:29.55CosmicPenguinooh, yeah
18:30.17prpplaguehehe, even on other person is a big help
18:30.24prpplagueCosmicPenguin: like when i was working on the jtag stuff
18:30.35prpplagueCosmicPenguin: just sharing info with T0mW was a big help
18:31.16CosmicPenguin*nod*
18:31.31prpplagueCosmicPenguin: i'm kinda thinking a good thirdpty developer cart might be something sellable
18:32.17CosmicPenguinyeah - moderately
18:32.26CosmicPenguinat least it would be good karma
18:32.39prpplaguehehe
18:33.20T0mWwonder why I need "devfs=nomount" to boot a BOOT kernel?
18:35.16prpplagueCosmicPenguin: too bad picogui is defunct
18:35.42CosmicPenguinprpplague: no doubt
18:35.58CosmicPenguinprpplague: you would need mad art skills to bring MW up to snuff
18:37.15kergoth_there's always rasters stuff
18:37.23kergoth_not sure if there's a decent widget set on top of it or not
18:37.24prpplaguekergoth_: rasters stuff?
18:37.29kergoth_yes, the c17 core libs
18:37.33kergoth_evas, eet, etc
18:37.45kergoth_evas is a generic canvas library, supports writing to the framebuffer, x, whatever
18:37.50kergoth_er, e17
18:37.52prpplagueahh
18:37.54kergoth_god, i cant type today
18:38.03CosmicPenguinits cool looking stuff, but I'm not sure how much of it is hackable by mere mortal
18:38.05CosmicPenguins
18:38.10kergoth_that would be the question
18:38.19kergoth_emte appears to be trying, and he's definately mortal. i wonder how he's doing
18:38.57kergoth_hehe
18:39.12prpplaguethere are several version of all Unix for arm7tdmi
18:40.31chouimathttp://webpages.charter.net/mattman7/mini.jpg
18:40.55prpplaguekergoth_ / CosmicPenguin i don't pretend to be on the level of andersee or greg ungerer, but it might be fun to try
18:41.36prpplaguewith all these new chips comming out with 64k ram and 256k flash, seems reasonable
18:43.17prpplagueandersee: you know, that little article on linuxdevices you commented on the new round of atmel chips
18:45.23prpplagueWith 64KB internal RAM, that is definitely large enough to do something useful. As for the internal flash -- it might be feasible to run a very very stripped down linux kernel with 256KB flash, but very little else. I've run uClinux systems with only 1MB of RAM and 1MB flash. Much less, and it is terribly hard to do anything useful.
18:45.48prpplaguequote from andersee on linuxdevices

18:48.47CosmicPenguinTotal brainfart - isn't there a utility that dissects ELF binaries - I'm interested in looking at the d_tag entries
18:49.19kergoth_you mean like readelf or objdump?
18:49.40CosmicPenguinreadelf... :)
18:49.49CosmicPenguintold you it was a brainfart
18:49.56kergoth_:)
18:51.01CosmicPenguinI'm trying to figure out why we occassionally get an inconsistancy assertion with ld.so
18:51.14CosmicPenguinAnd it turns out that its because the DT_RPATH (0xF) tag is not null
18:51.22kergoth_ah
18:51.52CosmicPenguinBut the cause is beyond me, but I guess next time it happens, I'll readelf all my binaries and see who the culprit is
18:52.35CosmicPenguinIt usually happens when II do something to the glibc build - it seems to have a requirement to make it through all the way without me interrupting it
18:56.41prpplagueCosmicPenguin: seems someone using the nick/name dwight is already working on this
18:57.05CosmicPenguinprpplague: on the pixter?
18:57.13prpplagueanyone know who this dwight is? seems to be on good terms with alan cox
18:57.35prpplagueCosmicPenguin: no, unix style system for the 64k/256k SoC
18:57.53CosmicPenguinno ideas

19:03.45prpplaguehehe

19:05.29prpplagueandersee: don't suppose you know who this "dwight" guy is?

19:30.21prpplaguehehe maybe i should just use UZI
19:49.25anderseeprpplague: no idea
19:50.14anderseeprpplague: I've visited atmel in france one time.  Didn't meet anyone named dwight though.
19:52.11prpplagueandersee: dont think he works for atmel
19:52.34prpplagueandersee: i was thinking about contacting steven hosgood about OMU
19:52.54prpplagueandersee: sounds like that would be perfect for the small resources of those SoC's

20:05.43prpplagueT0mW: hehe
20:27.45CosmicPenguinT0mW: heh - been hitting the wacky tobacky?
20:28.25T0mWnaw, just some MacBaron's Navy Flake
20:28.39prpplagueCosmicPenguin: this is the kind of OS/hardware dev i've always dreamed about doing
20:29.04CosmicPenguinprpplague: welcome to paradise
20:29.07prpplagueCosmicPenguin: hehe
20:29.17CosmicPenguinT0mW: I just figured, since you had the Munchies
20:29.28prpplagueCosmicPenguin: just don't know which items to choose
20:29.56T0mWCosmicPenguin: heh, yeah, I need a custom distro that sets up the computers for the KFC store computers that I maintain.
20:30.11CosmicPenguinnice
20:30.37T0mWI have one to replace and two to upgrade, it takes me about 6..10hours to build the box up.
20:30.53T0mWall that configuration drives me nuts
20:32.14prpplagueCosmicPenguin: the arm7tdmi cores and those SoC's seem perfect for a rebirth of uzi or omu

20:37.28T0mWanyone know how many /dev systems there are?  devfs and udev only?
20:37.49CosmicPenguinYeah, those are the two big ones
20:38.10CosmicPenguinthere might be other startup projects similar to udev, but nothing with a whole lot of mass
20:39.07T0mWok, cannot quite figure out why I need devfs=nomount for the boot kernel.  AFAICT, it appears that the installer is assuming devfs.  My perl is not quite *that* good, these guys are good at perl!!!
20:39.28T0mWer, object perl
20:50.22prpplagueCosmicPenguin: o' freakin wow
