| 08:54.28 | Darthy | hi |
| 08:54.54 | Darthy | im currently trying to get around kernel panics and tftp boot problems by using the latest u-boot from gitorious. |
| 08:56.10 | Darthy | but i cannot configure u-boot by using ake ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-none-linux-gnueabi- omapl_hawkboard_config . how do i configure the git from gitorious ? |
| 08:56.11 | Darthy | <PROTECTED> |
| 08:56.48 | Darthy | or is there a new prebuilt u-boot somewhere which fixes these issues? |
| 08:58.05 | eFfeM_work | i made one in the past iirc correctly but definitley do not have it handy |
| 08:58.20 | eFfeM_work | btw not sure why you cannot config |
| 08:58.46 | Darthy | which sources did you use? |
| 08:59.00 | Darthy | those from http://gitorious.org/hawkboard ? |
| 08:59.04 | eFfeM_work | git iirc (was a while back) |
| 08:59.07 | eFfeM_work | no, the u-boot git |
| 08:59.14 | eFfeM_work | I think |
| 08:59.25 | Darthy | hmm.. ok.. so where do i find those? |
| 09:00.17 | eFfeM_work | http://lmgtfy.com/?q=u-boot+git&l=1 |
| 09:02.31 | Darthy | thanx.. ill try that. and while we are at it. did you built the kernel yourself as well? |
| 09:03.03 | eFfeM_work | yes, I've used openembedded to build things |
| 09:03.22 | Darthy | what is that? |
| 09:03.33 | eFfeM_work | www.openembedded.org |
| 09:03.44 | eFfeM_work | a cross build environment |
| 09:04.43 | Darthy | oh cool.. so i dont need the codesourcery stuff - just use openembedded for cross compilation? |
| 09:05.37 | eFfeM_work | yes, it will build the compiler for you etc just set MACHINE to hawkboard (and make sure to set DISTRO) |
| 09:06.13 | eFfeM_work | alternately if you want prebuild binaries you may want to look at http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/ |
| 09:06.43 | eFfeM_work | note taht I am by no means involved in that project and that I cannot vouch for the quality of whatever you get |
| 09:06.59 | Darthy | where do i get the latest kernel sources for the hawkboard? |
| 09:07.31 | eFfeM_work | they have a nice online builder though; only issue is that they publish packages without testing them |
| 09:08.09 | eFfeM_work | i think I've seen a msg that the kernel src is being mainlined, no idea about that, oe probably uses teh std kernel.org sources with some patches |
| 09:08.15 | eFfeM_work | been a while since I peeked into that |
| 09:10.38 | Darthy | ok.. thanx for all those tips.. ill first try to use openembedded and build u-boot |
| 09:10.57 | eFfeM_work | gl |
| 09:11.09 | eFfeM_work | btw the channel for openembedded is #oe, for angstrom is #angstrom |
| 09:11.24 | eFfeM_work | but please read the instructions on the wiki first |
| 09:12.51 | Darthy | k |
| 09:20.03 | Darthy | im currently working on a project where we want to modify the hawkboard (strip a few things away like vga/sata/..) and add an adc and a can bus microchip which we currently soldered on another board (connections through i2c and spi). |
| 09:22.15 | eFfeM_work | sounds interesting |
| 09:22.21 | Darthy | when its all done we like to produce 2 or 3 testing boards - how would you do that? i chatted with a guy from india - he could change the cad and bom list and produce 2 sample boards for testing purpose. im just a bit curious because its from india and i dont know how i can be sure to get the boards and pay. |
| 09:22.58 | Darthy | what would you recommend? |
| 09:23.24 | eFfeM_work | i've no idea, we normally go to our regular supplier, they also do prototypes for us, but I guess this is fairly expensive |
| 09:23.35 | eFfeM_work | our supplier is quite nearby so that helps |
| 09:24.20 | Darthy | how much do you pay for a redesign for the hawkboard for example? price range? |
| 09:24.50 | eFfeM_work | i have not a clue at all, I'm a sw dev, not really involved in the prototyping or production part |
| 09:25.40 | Darthy | do you know user virals? |
| 09:25.42 | eFfeM_work | you *might* be able to get answers or addresses or info in #beagle. Those are the beagleboard guys; there are much more people there and perhaps someone did a redesing of bb |
| 09:25.50 | eFfeM_work | seen him a few times |
| 09:26.18 | Darthy | ok.. ill ask there. |
| 09:26.23 | Darthy | thanx again!! |
| 09:26.25 | Darthy | :-) |
| 09:26.34 | eFfeM_work | gl (btw will be afk in a few mins) |
