| 16:54.24 | eFfeM | astroid, unslung if you want to use the slug more or less as is, openslug if you are a unix hacker or want non-unslung functionality |
| 16:54.34 | eFfeM | you could go for both stick and hd if you desire |
| 16:56.43 | astroid | I've got my wrt set up with openwrt and I'd like to use the slug as a streaming audio, file, print, email, httpd server. Lot's of functionality, fairly low load. |
| 16:57.39 | eFfeM | don't know about openwrt, I do streaming using UPnP; no print or email services here. for http I run apache for file server both samba and nfs |
| 16:57.54 | eFfeM | if you are proficient in unix you probably want to go for openslug |
| 16:58.10 | NAiL | or debian :) |
| 17:00.01 | eFfeM | yes, or debian, but debian is still a little bit rough at the edges (at least when I last looked, eg wrt leds and .recovery) |
| 17:00.19 | NAiL | .recovery is fixed by installing nslu2-utils |
| 17:00.39 | NAiL | the leds/beeper is probably not too far away |
| 17:01.37 | eFfeM | ok nslu2-utils were not there yet and leds/beeper are not too difficult anyway |
| 17:02.39 | eFfeM | At some point i got the impression debian would allow me to boot directly from an image on hd. when I discovered that that was not the case and that LE did not solve my audio problems, I moved back to openslug .... |
| 17:03.47 | eFfeM | just played with apex, (running it from RAM), but that does not work as one cannot telnet into apex (or at least i did not find a way to do this) |

| 19:59.01 | snowbike | got the imic working. (just in case anyone is going to google the irc logs, the way I did...) |
| 19:59.28 | snowbike | I think my problem was that I shot myself by grabbing too many ipkg's so had both oss and alsa |
| 19:59.37 | snowbike | I found that I got it working with alsa |
| 20:00.10 | [g2] | snowbike does it work reliably ? |
| 20:00.17 | snowbike | I had to ipkg install soundcore |
| 20:00.27 | [g2] | that's ok |
| 20:00.43 | snowbike | [g2]: we'll see... I just got it working ~12 hours ago.. so if you consider 12 hours reliable... |
| 20:00.57 | snowbike | I'll start testing next |
| 20:01.16 | [g2] | snowbike have you rebooted at all ? |
| 20:01.27 | snowbike | I had installed the audio as I found on the wiki, but in the end I had to "rmmod audio" |
| 20:01.37 | snowbike | and then "modprobe snd_usb_audio" |
| 20:01.56 | snowbike | It had been already loaded when audio mod was also loaded, and /proc/asound/devices only showed the timer |
| 20:02.16 | snowbike | after unloading audio and reloading then /proc/asound/devices showed |
| 20:02.32 | snowbike | <PROTECTED> |
| 20:02.32 | snowbike | <PROTECTED> |
| 20:02.32 | snowbike | <PROTECTED> |
| 20:02.35 | snowbike | as well as timer. |
| 20:03.01 | snowbike | [g2]: I haven't rebooted yet.. I bet that when I do, I'll have to resort modules by hand. I'll try in a few minutes |
| 20:03.05 | [g2] | which kernel are you running ? |
| 20:03.08 | snowbike | I'm still enjoying the fact that it is working now! |
| 20:03.19 | snowbike | Linux bat 2.6.12.2 #1 Tue Sep 27 20:21:18 CDT 2005 armv5teb unknown |
| 20:03.24 | [g2] | snowbike as you should enjoy! |
| 20:03.27 | snowbike | openslug 2.7 beta default, I'm pretty sure.. |
| 20:03.43 | [g2] | snowbike I'd like to run it on my Loft |
| 20:04.10 | snowbike | I'll definitely be posting this to the wiki if it is working. My goal is similar to the froglogger that geojeff posted to the slug wiki.. |
| 20:04.38 | [g2] | what your going to record frogs too! ? :) |
| 20:04.58 | snowbike | no--bats! (I have a heterodyning system to bring the ultrasound down to soundcard range!) |
| 20:05.20 | [g2] | cool |
| 20:06.20 | snowbike | if it works--yep! Plus then it would feed over to other bioacoustics apps really easily. (we also have a hydrophone for whale recordings. I'd love to do that and hook up the USB-FM transmitter so we can monitoring whale activity while driving around town!) Do you know if anyone has gotten the USB-FM transmitter working on the slug? |
| 20:06.22 | [g2] | I've got a system I'm selling you may be interested in |
| 20:06.29 | snowbike | I only saw a "that'd be cool" |
| 20:06.31 | snowbike | What is it? |
| 20:07.03 | [g2] | it's an upscale slug that runs industrial temp and POE with a 9-48V power range |
| 20:07.41 | snowbike | cool! How cold is industrial temps? |
| 20:08.08 | snowbike | and do you have a web page? If I can get the imic working well (and then my perl code.. next step..) I'll probably be buying ~10 more of these. |
| 20:08.11 | [g2] | and has stuff like a CF slot, so you could have it all in one box running POE and a 6G microdrive feed from solar a couple hundred feet away |
| 20:08.31 | [g2] | it's also go a 533 Mhz processor and 64M |
| 20:08.46 | [g2] | plus it's quite expandable and runs debian LE |
| 20:08.51 | [g2] | out of the box |
| 20:08.52 | snowbike | out at the mouth of the cave--yep. Wow! |
| 20:09.24 | [g2] | you could probably have some power relays and make it go even further |
| 20:09.25 | snowbike | sounds great.. I assume it still has no floating point? That's the biggest hurdle with any signal processing I'd try to do on the box |
| 20:09.41 | snowbike | Do you have a web page? |
| 20:09.54 | [g2] | are you aware of the EP93xx |
| 20:10.10 | [g2] | my web page is http://www.giantshoulderinc.com |
| 20:10.27 | [g2] | the page is out-of-date and going to get update in the next few days |
| 20:10.47 | [g2] | see http://www.giantshoulderinc.com/hw-4533 |
| 20:10.48 | snowbike | not off the top of my head.. I've got a collaborator who is more into the computer/hardware development. I'm a bit more of the software/network/digitizer-guy. |
| 20:11.02 | [g2] | and see http://www.giantshoulderinc.com/ab3/case.jpg |
| 20:11.22 | [g2] | The EP93xx is a 200Mhz ARM, but it's got hw FP on board |
| 20:11.40 | [g2] | many of the boards come with an AC97 codec |
| 20:13.26 | snowbike | I like the case! |
| 20:13.38 | [g2] | THX |
| 20:13.57 | [g2] | That's just 4 x 7 x 1.5 inches high |
| 20:19.05 | [g2] | I've been on the fence about the imic, but now next time I"m out I'll have to pick one up. |
| 20:23.42 | *** join/#nslu2-linux AdamBaker (n=aab@userch028.dsl.pipex.com) |
| 20:30.28 | snowbike | ok, rebooted, modprobe soundcore; modprobe snd_usb_audio; cat /dev/dsp > test.wav ; cat test.wav > /dev/dsp shows that it is working after reboot |
| 20:31.38 | snowbike | the other change I made was "mv /dev/dsp /dev/dsp0 ; ln -s /dev/dsp1 /dev/dsp" because the imic wants to be /dev/dsp1, and I'm really trying to save that valuable "1" key :) |
| 20:32.30 | snowbike | woohoo! now for more testing/configuring. |
| 20:33.18 | [g2] | snowbike congrats! |
| 20:33.31 | [g2] | I'll have to get one tomorrow and try it out |

| 20:56.24 | copperbeech | I took the drive off and attached it to my PC and ran e2fsck on them and they completed OK (first one had a little correction - but nothing seemed significant) |
| 20:57.06 | copperbeech | when attach it to my slug (in either port1 or port2) and then telnet in, the drive is invisible. |
| 20:57.17 | copperbeech | when I do a df - nothing is recognised |

| 21:08.17 | copperbeech | what would that mean ?? |
| 21:09.05 | caplink811_log | i missed something, that isn't your enclosure |
| 21:09.52 | copperbeech | no? What is it? |
| 21:10.02 | caplink811_log | http://pastebin.com/529304 |
| 21:10.39 | copperbeech | OK - I see the lines in yours are more specific... |
| 21:10.40 | caplink811_log | line 33, that is my enclosure |
| 21:10.53 | copperbeech | You think it sounds like a problem with the enclosure? |
| 21:11.23 | snowbike | I'm wondering about the load on my slug. I'm running openslug and have "nothing" going on. top shows a load average of 1.00, 0.99, 0.91 and the highest process is top with .5% of the CPU.. |
| 21:11.39 | snowbike | What gives? |
| 21:11.57 | copperbeech | caplink811_log: it's like the driver hasn;t been located. |
| 21:12.22 | copperbeech | wonder if it's more liekly to be a software problem or a hardware problem? |
| 21:14.10 | copperbeech | http://pastebin.com/529312 (line 33) |
| 21:15.55 | caplink811_log | snowbike, load is typically 1.0 (i'sure, there is a faq about that, but i didn't find that right now) |
| 21:16.13 | caplink811_log | s/i'sure/i'm sure/g |
| 21:16.39 | snowbike | caplink811_log: thanks. I'll search for it. I'd bet it is a FAQ! |
| 21:18.34 | caplink811_log | it seems, that it assume, that it is class storage, but found no driver for that |

| 21:19.45 | copperbeech | yeah - think it might be broken firmware? |
| 21:22.27 | copperbeech | Think it would be worth reflashing the slug? |
| 21:23.59 | rwhitby-away | snowbike: that's the IXP modules - they always run at load of 1 |
| 21:24.07 | rwhitby-away | (even when doing nothing) |
| 21:24.18 | snowbike | thx. rwhitby-away |
| 21:24.30 | rwhitby-away | what version of openslug? |
| 21:24.37 | rwhitby-away | (cause I think it is fixed on HEAD) |
| 21:24.43 | snowbike | 2.7 beta |
| 21:27.09 | caplink811_log | copperbeech, maybe worth to give it a try, your drive is recognised properly on a linux box |
| 21:27.36 | copperbeech | It has also been properly recognised on my slug for over a year... |
| 21:28.43 | caplink811_log | but now it isn't recognised |
| 21:29.58 | copperbeech | yeah - my slug crashed (kids turned off the power perhaps?) and it hasn't been able to recognise it since - although I have tested the drive on my linux PC |

| 21:43.24 | eFfeM | snowbike, I was reading the log and I saw you had the imic working. Just to be sure: did you actually hear audio, or did you only cat to the device |
| 21:44.00 | eFfeM | reason for asking is that my sound card (not an imic) will allow to play a file and control the value, but does not produce sound |
| 21:44.08 | caplink811_log | copperbeech, did you reflash? any progrss? |
| 21:44.17 | eFfeM | all things in sys seems it plays, but no actual sound |
| 21:44.26 | caplink811_log | s/progrss/progress/g |
| 21:44.37 | eFfeM | and koen in #openslug also told me that he did not get sound from his imic |

| 21:50.08 | snowbike | eFfeM: the headphones plugged into the imic produces sound (that I recorded using the imic) |
| 21:50.55 | snowbike | levels are a bit outta whack, but I'm recording a signal from a headphone jack outta my speakers and haven't even touched the mixer. |

| 22:05.41 | copperbeech | caplink881: just going into upgrade mode now... |
| 22:07.17 | eFfeM | snowbike, that's good. might bother you about this on a later time (bedtime here) |
| 22:07.51 | snowbike | I'll hang around in here, so talk w/ you later.. |
| 22:08.14 | eFfeM | great, cu |
| 22:09.26 | eFfeM | btw i'm a little bit puzzled with your /dev/dsp1 thing, could it be the imic has headphones and line out as two different devices ? |
| 22:10.06 | snowbike | I'm not sure what is going on--mic in and phones out both use /dev/dsp1 |
| 22:10.25 | snowbike | I think the Linux drivers assume an onboard soundcard will be /dev/dsp0 and go for /dev/dsp1.. |
| 22:10.39 | snowbike | I found some info about this online just googling for Linux/imic |
| 22:10.59 | eFfeM | normally this is the case for a pc |
| 22:11.07 | eFfeM | have you created /dev/dsp0 manually? |
| 22:11.28 | eFfeM | my system automaically creates /dev/dsp major 14 minor 3 |
| 22:11.59 | snowbike | I thought I might have to do the mknod, but ended up not having to do that. |
| 22:12.38 | snowbike | hmm. don't be too confused, because I am too. I did the ln'ing, and then at the reboot that seems to have all disappeared! |
| 22:13.06 | snowbike | now /dev/dsp is 14,3 |
| 22:13.36 | eFfeM | actually my card ran once (with 2.6.12 or 2.6.14), next time it didn't |
| 22:13.36 | snowbike | and I've been doing cat /dev/dsp > test.wav and cat test.wav > /dev/dsp repeatedly and it is working with the headset plugged into the imic |
| 22:14.04 | eFfeM | can you do file test.wav ? |
| 22:14.11 | snowbike | I've rebooted once. I'll try several times over the next week, I'm sure. I'm using 2.6.12 |
| 22:14.47 | snowbike | -sh: file: not found... :) Just a sec. I tried it on osx before and got what looked like an endian issue, but not sure. I'll scp it over and let you know. |
| 22:14.58 | eFfeM | file says the wav files are RIFF (little-endian) data, WAVE audio, Microsoft PCM, 16 bit, stereo 44100 Hz |
| 22:15.14 | eFfeM | just want to be sure that this is not a 44k1 <-> 48k issue |
| 22:15.39 | snowbike | on osx I get test.wav: 8086 relocatable (Microsoft) |
| 22:15.53 | snowbike | doesn't tell me much--mean anything to you? and endian thing? |
| 22:16.26 | snowbike | I did have a problem reading it into some sound analysis software that I was trying to use (Raven), so I'm going to be exploring just what the heck file it is.. I'll let you know what I find. |
| 22:16.40 | eFfeM | hm, your wav is not really recognized as a wav by osx |
| 22:17.03 | *** join/#nslu2-linux odoc (i=odoc@is.borntobooze.de) |
| 22:17.20 | eFfeM | are you by any chance running a web or ftp server where you can put this test.wav file? |
| 22:17.25 | snowbike | right.. so it is something funky. but I don't know if it ending, sample rate, encoding (is it really an au) |
| 22:18.01 | snowbike | yeah, just a sec.. |
| 22:18.18 | snowbike | http://uashome.alaska.edu/~jfmjh/test.wav |

| 22:22.00 | copperbeech_ | the caddy works fine with my PC... |
| 22:22.23 | eFfeM | snowbike, got the wav, it is also identified as an 8086 relocatable here |
| 22:22.24 | copperbeech_ | I'm really hoping that my NSLU2 has not had some HW failure which would cause this :-( |
| 22:22.25 | snowbike | what is the slug/arm/openslug? big or little endian? |
| 22:22.44 | eFfeM | looking into the file and it looks like it is just data (and no wav header) |
| 22:22.50 | eFfeM | openslug is BE |
| 22:22.51 | copperbeech_ | at least the data isn't lost |
| 22:22.57 | snowbike | I'm trying to open up the file in matlab to look at header, etc.. |
| 22:23.20 | snowbike | yeah, od looked like just numbers (which is good for what I want). |
| 22:23.30 | snowbike | auread and wavread obviously don't work... |
| 22:23.34 | eFfeM | the file I have is 32768 bytes and starts as: |

| 22:27.40 | AdamBaker | copperbeech_: have you tried plugging any other USB devices into the slug to see if they appear in /proc/bus/usb/devices - that would confirm if the USB hardware is working. Also is the drive bus powered? |
