00:42.02CosmicPenguincan't figure out why this damn connection won't close
00:43.23CosmicPenguinIt goes into a CLOSE_WAIT, but my child process never hears about it
00:44.47T0mWTCP is so polite it will hang forever in CLOSE_WAIT
00:46.04CosmicPenguinAh-hah - I was ignoring read returning 0
00:46.13CosmicPenguingot im
00:46.38T0mWas opposed to EOF (-1) ?
00:48.37T0mWI'm doing evaluation of ARM Thumb vs ARM32 to see if Thumb is worth the extra trouble
00:49.06T0mWThumb is a PITA to get gcc + ld working right
00:49.54T0mWnothing magical about it, transparency only exists once you get the compiler + linker stuff setup properly beforehand
00:51.04CosmicPenguinfun
00:52.44T0mWI've learned that -mthumb & -mthumb-interwork don't mean the same thing: -mthumb means "compile as thumb" and -mthumb-interwork means "let us call between ARM32 and Thumb code modules"
00:53.17T0mWif you have interrupt service routines, they have (should be) compiled as ARM32
00:53.40T0mWthat's when things get interesting: ARM32 + Thumb crap

01:08.56CosmicPenguinniceness - my serial->telnet bridge is a success
01:10.44T`2SOL ?
01:12.52T0mWCosmicPenguin: doing some remote admin with it?
01:13.51CosmicPenguinWell, my original goal was to make a little terminal server for my devices under test
01:15.10CosmicPenguinBut more immediately, I've been working on solutions for our processor simulator
01:15.48CosmicPenguinit simulates serial by implmenting two fifos (one in and one out) that then appears to be your standard 16550 ports to the processor
01:16.09CosmicPenguinI tied those into a little app that muxed the data on to a pseudo tty, so I could do debug on it
01:16.43CosmicPenguinAnd today I added a telnet port, so I could access the simulation serial console from my own system and not the system we run the simulator on
01:17.05CosmicPenguinNext, I'll get gdb working across it so I can bring my local source to bear
01:17.35CosmicPenguinAnd then later, I'll adapt this code to make a little terminal server for the real devices
01:17.40T0mWis this going to be useful, or just something interesting to build? heh
01:17.48CosmicPenguinIts useful to me
01:17.49T0mW;-)
01:18.29CosmicPenguinAnd yeah, it was fun to write
01:20.26CosmicPenguinand now I'm off to my next great adventure
01:20.28CosmicPenguinlater boyos

02:47.08RussCosmicPenguin, T0mW: read returning 0 is EOF, check the man page
02:47.24Russand -1 isn't necessarily an error. It could just be EINTR

22:10.55brendan_hi
22:11.16brendan_is there a way to pass info from the initrd to the programs running in the root fs?
22:26.22MonMothathe initrd usually gets pivoted to another point on the new filesystem.  Processes can either remain running from within that new point (and you can use FIFOs, shared mem, etc.) or you could leave a temp file laying in the initrd
