| 02:12.03 | arossdotme | the people on #zipit have mad lots of progress with bringing the zipit openwrt os upto mainline. they now use the wrt auto build system |
| 02:12.08 | arossdotme | mad=made |
| 02:13.25 | arossdotme | idk maybe theres things that can be leant from them for mainlining the bens os, with tweaks to openwrt to keep it libre only. which i guess is down to the kernel used and the kernel modules used? |

| 08:28.51 | kyak | arossdotme: what are you talking about? nanonote image has always used openwrt build infrastrucre |
| 08:29.49 | kyak | it's been three years or something without releases, because noone cares, but at that time most of things were upstream openwrt |
| 08:29.58 | kyak | expect several dozens of packages |
| 08:30.22 | kyak | which were supposed to only work with nanonote (and again, these were openwrt packages) |

| 10:59.59 | arossdotme | kyak, oh my bad, sry didnt know. thought it was all out of date and needed major work to get it to the point of being auto rebuilt. silly me, a lot of the little app packages that zipit project use are there in the openwrt system cus nano note people put them there :) |

| 17:47.12 | baaba | paul_boddie : I multistrapped, so now i need to link /run/initctl in /etc/preinit ? |
| 17:47.22 | baaba | thanks by the way ! |
| 20:20.09 | baaba | it doesn't work :'( |
| 20:23.04 | *** join/#qi-hardware paul_boddie (~paul_bodd@host-37-191-208-15.lynet.no) |
| 20:23.22 | paul_boddie | baaba: Don't think you need to do anything with /run/initctl, but I didn't test that. |
| 20:24.20 | paul_boddie | As for OpenWrt, I guess the Ben's distro was forked from the state of OpenWrt at the time, but it and the mainline may have diverged a lot since then. |
| 20:29.19 | baaba | hi paul_boddie, I read your messages in the log but I don't get what you exactly did |
| 20:29.36 | baaba | i multistrapped debian with the package you said |
| 20:30.06 | baaba | i ran ln -s /sbin/init /etc/preinit |
| 20:30.14 | baaba | but it still won't boot :( |
| 20:31.10 | baaba | i also copied the uImage to /boot |
| 20:31.32 | paul_boddie | Is it interesting for you to look at the scripts I wrote for this...? |
| 20:31.47 | paul_boddie | http://en.qi-hardware.com/wiki/Emdebian |
| 20:31.52 | baaba | oh thanks |
| 20:32.19 | paul_boddie | http://hgweb.boddie.org.uk/qi-emdebian is the repository I'm using. |
| 20:32.43 | paul_boddie | But the wiki page is the documentation. :-) |
| 20:33.00 | paul_boddie | Even if you just look at what the scripts do, it may help you. |
| 20:33.39 | paul_boddie | There's some dancing around required when the Ben boots because you need to configure the packages, which multistrap/debootstrap can't do for a foreign architecture. |
| 20:34.23 | paul_boddie | So I get it to run a shell with busybox that performs all the necessary work. You can't start other shells because they aren't configured and will fail. |

| 20:35.24 | paul_boddie | Here's what gets run by the kernel: http://hgweb.boddie.org.uk/qi-emdebian/file/d2f68bc185dc/preinit |
| 20:35.50 | paul_boddie | And here's the magic recipe: http://hgweb.boddie.org.uk/qi-emdebian/file/d2f68bc185dc/preinit-config |
| 20:36.59 | paul_boddie | If I hadn't got sysvinit to work, I guess I could have done something with a dpkg command to switch init systems, which is usually the Debian way. |
| 20:42.22 | baaba | i'm trying emdebian, thanks |
| 20:47.00 | paul_boddie | Well, Emdebian is Debian these days. I should update that wiki page to make that even clearer. |
| 21:04.00 | baaba | yes well I didn't try the scripts but I hope it will work now |
| 21:06.53 | baaba | well It doesn't seem to⦠I don't know what I did wrong |
| 21:32.18 | baaba | oooh :( I think I will give up :o |
| 23:17.05 | paul_boddie | Do you get anything on the display? U-Boot output? Boot logo? |
| 23:22.45 | paul_boddie | I was going to ask, given the age of the device, whether you're booting while powered over USB. |
| 23:29.47 | baaba | yes it is connected in usb to my computer |
| 23:30.06 | baaba | and nothing on the display, only some weird artifacts at the bottom |
| 23:31.23 | baaba | I'm going to sleep :p I will read the log if you know what could be the issue |
| 23:31.43 | baaba | bye ! |
