| 20:00.16 | dho | I'm looking at porting another OS (Plan 9) over to the NSLU2 -- is there a better channel for me to ask questions related to hardware / development for this platform? |
| 20:02.05 | dho | (I suppose ``Leave us alone and figure it out yourself'' is also a valid answer but I'm hoping for something different :)) |
| 20:04.33 | joshin | dho: This would probably be the best channel but many of the devs may be sleeping/schooling/working |
| 20:06.22 | dho | Ok. Do I understand correctly that the actual source supporting booting Linux on the NSLU2 is in OE? (ie. if I just want source files) |
| 20:06.29 | dho | I'm not quite understanding the purpose of this monotone file |
| 20:34.01 | *** join/#nslu2-linux rwhitby-treo (n=rwhitby@nslu2-linux/rwhitby) |
| 20:43.51 | NAiL | dho: the monotone file contains all the bitbake files that pull in the sources (and contains a few patches) |
| 20:45.31 | rwhitby-treo | dho: what kind of sources from a linux port are useful for a plan9 port? |
| 20:51.53 | dho | rwhitby-treo: right now mostly just the boot bits |
| 20:52.36 | dho | rwhitby-treo: last time i looked at boot stuff for linux on arm, my ears bled and my eyes fell out, but I'm willing to try again |
| 20:53.00 | dho | that was for the siemens simpad though. |
| 20:53.29 | dho | In either case, all I really need is boot+drivers, we have an ARM compiler. And knowing what GPIO pins are mapped to. |
| 20:54.18 | dho | The SIMpad had the fun side effect of having GPIO pin 12 mapped to a battery voltage watchdog, which the other platform I was working from had mapped to the uart. Which caused my SIMpad to shut down 5 seconds after boot, heh. |
| 20:54.30 | rwhitby-treo | dho: bootloader, or what the bootloader gives to linux kernel, or what the kernel does first? |
| 20:55.02 | dho | Well, it's RedBoot right? How does that work? Does it just load + jmp? |
| 20:55.06 | rwhitby-treo | Do you reuse RedBoot and make plan9 boot from it, or do you replace the bootloader? |
| 20:55.18 | dho | I'd rather use RedBoot |
| 20:55.41 | rwhitby-treo | gpio mappings are all on the wiki Info section |
| 20:55.46 | dho | ok |
| 20:57.40 | rwhitby-treo | have a look at the apex bootloader source for the bootloader->kernel handoff |

| 20:57.46 | rwhitby-treo | there is a document on arm booting too - it's just setting up ATAGs and setting some registers and then a jump |
| 20:58.12 | dho | Ok |
| 20:58.15 | dho | This is all in your svn? |
| 20:58.49 | rwhitby-treo | a google on ATAG should find the booting doc |
| 20:59.31 | rwhitby-treo | No, none of that is in our svn, we don't roll our own bootloader. |
| 21:02.33 | rwhitby-treo | but we drive apex development with nslu2 specifics |
| 21:04.44 | dho | Well. |
| 21:04.50 | dho | I suppose I should get that serial cable heh. |
| 21:05.35 | rwhitby-treo | yup |
| 21:05.53 | rwhitby-treo | does plan9 have an mtd driver? |
| 21:07.03 | dho | There's a driver for whatever flash was on the Bitsy |
| 21:08.06 | dho | Not sure if it's the same chip. I'm expecting to probably have to make drivers for most things |
| 21:08.20 | rwhitby-treo | if that's Intel cfi you might be ok |
| 21:08.42 | rwhitby-treo | (dunno what the Bitsy is, and only have a Treo650 internet connection/terminal here.) |
| 21:09.45 | dho | bitsy was the first generation ipaq |
| 21:10.03 | dho | or journada. not sure which. |
| 21:16.30 | dho | rwhitby-treo: Jus tto be sure, I want the 3v version, right? |
| 21:17.08 | dho | Oh, I see it on your page, nm. |
| 21:17.21 | rwhitby-treo | yep, 3.3v - most mobile phone data cables will work |
| 21:17.51 | dho | I just grabbed it via compsys |
| 21:17.55 | dho | I live in the middle of nowhere |
| 21:18.03 | dho | it'll be more expensive to drive and buy than to order, I'm sure. |
| 21:18.25 | rwhitby-treo | (that's what we use these days, rather than building something) |
| 21:18.55 | dho | If I get the pre-assembled one, does that come with a ribbon? |
| 21:19.25 | rwhitby-treo | yep, compsys is good - they even donated some cash to the project |
| 21:19.36 | dho | Then I'd just as soon buy from them |
| 21:19.38 | rwhitby-treo | I don't remember. |
| 21:19.47 | dho | Oh |
| 21:19.50 | dho | Well |
| 21:20.12 | dho | I'm sure I can find a ribbon anyway. |
| 21:20.58 | dho | Where do you recommend getting the headers from? |
