| 00:00.06 | CosmicPenguin | 15 for the irq name |
| 00:00.17 | prpplague | yea, well, you don't know the arm guys, they are freaky about every byte |
| 00:00.21 | CosmicPenguin | and a few pushes - and a ret |
| 00:00.50 | CosmicPenguin | Another option - put the interrupt in s3c2410-pm.c |
| 00:01.06 | CosmicPenguin | and then have a single #ifdef CONFIG_PM wrapped functin in the init |
| 00:01.42 | CosmicPenguin | s3c2410_pm_init(void) would do it |
| 00:01.56 | prpplague | CosmicPenguin: i'd have to put it in pm-simtec.c |
| 00:02.03 | CosmicPenguin | whereever |
| 00:02.10 | prpplague | hehe |
| 00:02.29 | CosmicPenguin | put it someplace where CONFIG_PM is implied |
| 00:03.08 | CosmicPenguin | but whatever - make sure you respond that amlm5900_init doesn't just register the interrupt |
| 00:03.31 | CosmicPenguin | I can't believe they would encourage anything else in that case |
| 00:04.04 | prpplague | yea thats why i was kinda surprised |
| 00:04.14 | CosmicPenguin | He probably just wasn't paying attention |
| 00:05.09 | CosmicPenguin | standard operating procedure is to push back when you think you are right |
| 00:05.38 | prpplague | well i would expect rmk and ben dooks to not want my machine specific code crawling outside of my machine definition, but i can see that adding it to simtec-pm.c would make sense, but what happens when more people want to add their irq for wakeup on a s3c2410 device? |
| 00:06.23 | CosmicPenguin | are you the first? |
| 00:06.41 | prpplague | CosmicPenguin: yea, no one else has gotten power management working to the extend i have |
| 00:06.47 | CosmicPenguin | ok - well not to be a dick |
| 00:06.51 | CosmicPenguin | but thats for the next guy to figure out |
| 00:07.02 | prpplague | or let me rephrase that, i'm the first to try and submit patches |
| 00:07.07 | CosmicPenguin | you shouldn't architect for something that may or may not exist in the future |
| 00:07.52 | CosmicPenguin | Over at Wikipedia, they often state that Wikipedia is not a crystal ball |
| 00:07.59 | CosmicPenguin | as a reason to delete articles |
| 00:08.15 | CosmicPenguin | Your code is not a crystal ball - you cannot imagine how others will use your code |
| 00:08.22 | CosmicPenguin | in fact - you cannot even be sure that will even hapen |
| 00:08.54 | *** join/#edev linac (n=lin@121.70.181.133) |
| 00:09.01 | CosmicPenguin | So do right by yourself - and when somebody else comes along and tries to extend it then the proper thing is for them to figure out a fix and send you a patch |
| 00:09.08 | prpplague | CosmicPenguin: well, for one, i know we have 6 other devices i will be needing to add, so for myself thats an issue |
| 00:09.31 | prpplague | CosmicPenguin: but i take your point |
| 00:09.51 | prpplague | CosmicPenguin: i'll resubmit in the morning and see how it goes |
| 00:09.53 | CosmicPenguin | well, if you want to back up and architect something for yourself then thats something alltogether different |
| 00:10.33 | CosmicPenguin | time for me to go home |
| 00:10.37 | prpplague | CosmicPenguin: i think if i word it properly and repost my changes it will go |
| 00:10.42 | prpplague | CosmicPenguin: thanks for the feedback |
| 00:10.53 | prpplague | CosmicPenguin: always nice to bounce ideas of a good coder |
| 00:10.53 | CosmicPenguin | any time |

| 01:23.06 | agaffney | hmm, is the output from a buildroot run not suitable for use as an initrd? |
| 01:23.51 | agaffney | http://rafb.net/paste/results/wVhCwG84.html |
| 01:38.20 | agaffney | anyone? |
| 01:40.51 | agaffney | I tried uncompressing the initrd |
| 01:40.52 | agaffney | no dice |
| 01:46.17 | agaffney | ## Loading RAMDisk Image at 00c00000 ... |
| 01:46.17 | agaffney | Bad Magic Number |
| 01:46.25 | agaffney | is the last line coming from the kernel or uboot? |
| 01:46.58 | youam | should be uboot |
| 01:47.08 | agaffney | what does it mean? :P |
| 01:47.14 | youam | the kernel isn't even started yet |
| 01:47.20 | agaffney | ok, I figured that |
| 01:47.36 | youam | sorry, i don't know buildroot at all |
| 01:47.38 | agaffney | is it failing a checksum? |
| 01:47.49 | youam | i don't think so |
| 01:48.02 | agaffney | I doubt uboot cares about the contents of the initrd |
| 01:48.11 | youam | what does file say about the image? |
| 01:48.23 | agaffney | rootfs.powerpc_nofpu.ext2: Linux rev 0.0 ext2 filesystem data |
| 01:49.10 | youam | hm. |
| 01:49.38 | agaffney | I tried loading it at different addresses as well |
| 01:49.45 | agaffney | 600000 instead of c00000 |
| 01:49.46 | youam | perhaps uboot does not support using ext2 as an initrd image? try gzipping it first? |
| 01:49.47 | agaffney | same thing |
| 01:49.55 | agaffney | I tried it gzip'd first |
| 01:50.06 | agaffney | then uncompressed it in case uboot was choking on that |
| 01:50.12 | youam | or mount it on your host and create an cramfs or something |
| 01:50.44 | youam | though i'd go for using an initramfs instead of an initrd image for 2.6 kernels |
| 01:50.58 | agaffney | yeah, I just mounted it and I'm going to cpio it |
| 01:51.07 | agaffney | any special flags that need to be passed? |
| 01:51.36 | youam | cd $root && find . | cpio --quiet --create --format newc | gzip -9 |
| 01:51.39 | youam | is what i use |
| 01:52.11 | youam | though i seem to remember that there are some differences WRT entry points of initramfs vs. initrd |
| 01:52.27 | youam | iirc initrd calls /linuxrc and initramfs /init and so on |
| 01:53.58 | agaffney | nope, doesn't like the gzip'd initramfs, either |
| 01:54.00 | agaffney | wtf |

| 01:55.55 | youam | are you sure it's complaining about the initrd image? |

| 01:57.56 | youam | # mount /sys/block/hda/hda2/dev /mnt |
| 01:57.56 | youam | mount: Mounting /sys/block/hda/hda2/dev on /mnt failed: No such file or directory |
| 01:58.17 | youam | any idea on this? /sys/block/hda/hda2/dev exists and /mnt is a directory i just created with mkdir |
| 02:00.01 | youam | gah. i'm an idiot. it would help if hda2 would contain a file system |
| 02:02.04 | prpplague | agaffney: buildroot will generate a valid initrd image |

| 12:22.59 | agaffney | how do you combine an initrd into a kernel image? |
| 12:23.17 | agaffney | is it as simple as 'cat kernel initrd > kernel_initrd'? |
| 12:27.06 | agaffney | alternatively, does anyone know why uboot hates my initrd/initramfs images? |
| 12:27.25 | agaffney | it seems like it's trying to identify it and failing |
| 12:41.56 | jbevren | mkimage has switches to specify which of two files is kernel and initrc |
| 12:43.51 | agaffney | oh, do you have to feed the initrd to mkimage as well? |
| 13:03.36 | jbevren | you can, yeah |

| 13:14.14 | jbevren | nod |
| 13:14.18 | agaffney | hmm, I'll have to find the original kernel for my existing uImage |

| 13:14.45 | jbevren | s/-f/-d/ |
| 13:15.40 | agaffney | I'll look in the kernel makefile and see how it calls mkimage |

| 13:33.21 | philv | Hoping the market wouldn't notice as their execs cashed out |
| 13:33.34 | philv | Oh no, they did them last tuesday |

| 13:37.24 | philv | What's their outstanding number of shares? |
| 13:37.40 | jbevren | gonna buy 51% of the company and tell them to stop it? |

| 18:20.58 | CosmicPenguin | prpplague: I don't think so |
| 18:21.04 | CosmicPenguin | I think you need to schedule it from the bottom half |
| 18:22.16 | CosmicPenguin | You can schedule a tasklet from an interrupt handler |
| 18:23.04 | prpplague | CosmicPenguin: hmm, question is if requesting a pm_suspend should be done in bh or from a tasklet |

| 20:36.37 | prpplague | agaffney: what command line are you passing to the kernel? |
| 20:36.37 | agaffney | console=ttyS0,9600 root=/dev/ram |
| 20:36.37 | agaffney | I had "-s" at the beginning of my previous commandline |
| 20:36.38 | agaffney | what does that do? |
| 20:36.38 | agaffney | I'm not sure where it came from |
| 20:36.38 | agaffney | checking if image is initramfs... it is |
| 20:36.39 | agaffney | the kernel sees and recognizes the initramfs |
| 20:36.39 | prpplague | agaffney: hmm |
| 20:36.39 | prpplague | agaffney: sounds odd |
| 20:36.39 | agaffney | VFS: Cannot open root device "<NULL>" or unknown-block(2,0) |
| 20:36.39 | prpplague | agaffney: that means its not getting the right info |
| 20:36.39 | agaffney | what do you use? |

| 20:36.41 | prpplague | agaffney: unfortunately its not ported to ppc yet |
| 20:36.41 | agaffney | heh, figured |
| 20:36.42 | agaffney | is there a way to reduce the amount of time before the kernel reboots when there's a panic? |
| 20:36.43 | agaffney | panic=<seconds>? |
| 20:36.43 | jbevren | panic=0 to not reboot? |
| 20:36.43 | jbevren | <- unsure |
| 20:36.43 | agaffney | I want it to reboot |
| 20:36.43 | jbevren | ah |
| 20:36.43 | agaffney | but sooner than 180 seconds |
| 20:36.43 | jbevren | Ohh |
| 20:36.44 | jbevren | I'd just edit the source but I'm lazy like that |
| 20:36.44 | agaffney | because since I'm not at home, I can't power cycle the board |
| 20:36.45 | agaffney | so I have to wait for the kernel to reboot to get back to uboot |
| 20:36.55 | agaffney | hmm, now the kernel is broadcasting for an IP via DHCP |
| 20:36.57 | agaffney | even though I specified a static IP via ip= |
| 20:37.01 | agaffney | ok, my problem before was that the kernel wasn't getting the commandline arguments because I had set bootargs with quotes around the value |
| 20:37.01 | agaffney | now it looks like it's getting the value but dying for another reason |
| 20:37.12 | agaffney | No filesystem could mount root, tried: ext3 ext2 msdos vfat iso9660 udf |
| 20:37.12 | agaffney | but it's initramfs... |

| 20:48.16 | agaffney | I have to wait until I get home and plug in the usb serial dongle I've got |

| 21:07.48 | CosmicPenguin | jbevren: well, a headset was done for it |
| 21:08.04 | jbevren | CosmicPenguin: ah, doesnt use the onboard audio and included handset? |
| 21:08.07 | CosmicPenguin | jbevren: I don't recall if anybody ever figured out how to make the audio go to the onboard handset |
| 21:08.09 | prpplague | ~tuxscreen |
| 21:08.11 | purl | extra, extra, read all about it, tuxscreen is http://TuxScreen.net/ they were $99 but now sold out or http://tuxscreen.net/scrapbook/images.html or #TuxScreen |
| 21:08.13 | jbevren | gotcha |
| 21:08.28 | CosmicPenguin | the onboard audio was part of the UCB1200 |
| 21:08.30 | jbevren | prpplague: 404. |
| 21:08.31 | CosmicPenguin | but it was never wired out |
| 21:08.45 | CosmicPenguin | tuxscreen.net is still around? |
| 21:08.46 | CosmicPenguin | seesh |
| 21:08.57 | prpplague | yea it comes up for me |
| 21:09.00 | agaffney | the 2nd URL is 404 |
| 21:09.04 | agaffney | the 1st is fine |
| 21:09.08 | jbevren | agaffney: yep |
| 21:09.15 | CosmicPenguin | that purl infobit is even old |
| 21:09.15 | prpplague | oh |
| 21:09.20 | agaffney | someone did a *horrible* job cutting out that image on the front page :P |
| 21:09.21 | CosmicPenguin | when did we move from #tuxscreen - like in 2002 |
| 21:09.31 | prpplague | hehe yea |
| 21:09.32 | jbevren | I'm still waiting for said image :) |
| 21:09.42 | agaffney | heh |
| 21:10.14 | agaffney | if they're cheap, I'll take a couple to play with :P |
| 21:10.16 | jbevren | so |
| 21:10.20 | jbevren | CosmicPenguin: I should privmsg tim? |
| 21:10.37 | CosmicPenguin | jbevren: if you want one |
| 21:10.42 | prpplague | jbevren: the lcd's are worth the $99 |
| 21:10.53 | CosmicPenguin | Mine used to be my primary phone |
| 21:10.56 | jbevren | CosmicPenguin: okies |
| 21:11.02 | CosmicPenguin | but now it sits in my office as a reminder of where I came from |
| 21:11.31 | CosmicPenguin | remember - without tuxscreen, there would have been no buildroot |
| 21:11.31 | agaffney | jbevren: let me know how much he wants :P |
| 21:11.31 | CosmicPenguin | And I would have never met the rest of you bastards |
| 21:11.34 | agaffney | heh |
| 21:11.36 | prpplague | CosmicPenguin: i thought buildroot was part of the stuff that was developed for uclinux builds? |
| 21:11.42 | prpplague | CosmicPenguin: hehe |
| 21:12.44 | CosmicPenguin | prpplague: I don't think so - andersee first came up with a big monolithic makefile for tuxscreen |
| 21:12.59 | prpplague | CosmicPenguin: ahh |
| 21:13.00 | CosmicPenguin | and things went from there |
| 21:13.04 | prpplague | ~buildroot |
| 21:13.06 | purl | it has been said that buildroot is a cool system for building embedded root file systems and can be found at http://uclibc.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/trunk/buildroot/ or a heavily modified version used by the OpenZaurus project, or see oz buildroot |
| 21:13.20 | prpplague | hmm |
| 21:13.25 | prpplague | needs updating |
