| 00:18.43 | Umeaboy | SpeedEvil: I'm back. |
| 00:19.58 | Umeaboy | MonMotha: Yes, it seems to boot kernel & RELEASE. |
| 00:20.22 | Umeaboy | IINM RELEASE is the system-rom. |
| 00:20.55 | Umeaboy | So, how do I implement that into the new version? |
| 00:21.43 | Umeaboy | As nobody will do the job FOR me I'm gonna have to do it myself. |
| 00:26.31 | SpeedEvil | Is there an existing version of uboot with source for it? |
| 00:26.44 | SpeedEvil | Or what's the bootloader? |

| 00:32.29 | Umeaboy | SpeedEvil: Yes, it's in that archive. |
| 00:32.31 | Umeaboy | inside |
| 00:33.02 | Umeaboy | Look in /GPL |
| 00:33.10 | Umeaboy | SpeedEvil: Found it? |
| 00:33.37 | SpeedEvil | No, I'm not looking at it. |
| 00:33.41 | Umeaboy | OK. |
| 00:33.46 | Umeaboy | Please DO. ;) |
| 00:33.49 | SpeedEvil | I'm mostly asleep. |
| 00:33.50 | SpeedEvil | No. |
| 00:33.53 | Umeaboy | UHu. |
| 00:33.55 | Umeaboy | Sorry. |
| 00:34.13 | Umeaboy | And..............next........what do I need to do? |
| 00:34.45 | SpeedEvil | Well - if it has a bootloader - why do you want to add uboot? |
| 00:39.15 | Umeaboy | SpeedEvil: I want to update Uboot with a custom version. My goal is to get rid of the official firmware in my TV. |
| 00:39.30 | Umeaboy | It runs with LGMOD atm. |
| 00:39.38 | Umeaboy | That's just a wrapper. |
| 00:40.07 | Umeaboy | I have access to the bootloader which loads mstar#. |
| 00:40.37 | SpeedEvil | Why do you care about the version? |
| 00:45.42 | Umeaboy | SpeedEvil: Of Uboot? Uboot is what's loaded first. Right? |
| 00:46.02 | SpeedEvil | Well - yes - but there is no pressing reason to replace the existing bootloader. |
| 00:46.48 | Umeaboy | SpeedEvil: OK. So, now what? |
| 00:47.15 | Umeaboy | I found the service manual for it online: http://elektrotanya.com/lg_60pk250,60pk540,60pk550,60pk560,60pk750,60pk950_chassis_pu02a_panel_60r1_alignment.pdf/download.html |
| 00:47.16 | SpeedEvil | First you need to work out why you're doing this - what are the aims. |
| 00:47.23 | Umeaboy | Click on Get manual. |
| 00:47.52 | Umeaboy | SpeedEvil: Well, as this TV is 3 years old I don't really care if it gets bricked. |
| 00:48.05 | Umeaboy | So there's NO warranty. |
| 00:48.25 | Umeaboy | As I said, I want to get rid of the official firmware & make a custom one. |
| 00:48.32 | Umeaboy | Just like Samygo. |
| 00:49.16 | Umeaboy | There are some things I'd like to enable in the TV that I can't do with the closed source firmware. |
| 00:50.27 | Umeaboy | I'm off about 50 minutes more. |
| 00:52.29 | SpeedEvil | Well - compile the firmware, see what it does. |
| 00:52.49 | SpeedEvil | Then go from there. there is little reason to change uboot generally. |

| 01:46.07 | SpeedEvil | I think it's a small x-windows implementation - google |
| 01:46.12 | Umeaboy | OK. |
| 01:46.36 | Umeaboy | And WHAT am I supposed to compile? The archive's Uboot-version? |
| 01:47.49 | SpeedEvil | You compile the whole archive - to get a complete image ready for flashing - hopefully |
| 01:50.44 | Umeaboy | Yeah, but the problem is that LG doesn't and won't provide me with full source even thou the license tells them to do so. I think it's LGPL. |
| 01:52.06 | Umeaboy | Looks like they didn't delete un-related stuff in the kernel-tarball. |
| 01:52.26 | Umeaboy | I see a bunch of non-usable drivers. |
| 01:53.48 | SpeedEvil | They absolutely don't have to send you enough to make a working TV |
| 01:54.12 | Umeaboy | How come? |
| 01:54.57 | SpeedEvil | A kernel that boots, and then runs a big binary, which talks to the TV hardware, and does all of the 'TV' stuff, for example, and is not GPL licenced. |
| 01:55.26 | SpeedEvil | In order to make a properly open device - you would need to reverse engineer this binary, and provide all its functions. |
| 01:57.27 | Umeaboy | Do you by any chance know any sh-script that makes backups of a mtd-block device & then makes an image to the USB? |
| 01:57.54 | Umeaboy | I don't have the proper port to use a null-modem cable in my laptop. |
| 01:58.09 | SpeedEvil | No. |
