03:04.22Shabbahi
03:05.06Shabbai have a zaurus slc-700, and i also have a panasonic laptop, both devices have MMC/SD card sockets,
03:05.16Shabbaand my zaurus of _course_ can use the sd chip,
03:05.28Shabbabut is there a general linux driver that i can use on my laptop ?
03:05.33Shabbaor is it specific to the zaurus only?
03:05.35Shabba:(
03:05.41kergothuh
03:05.44kergoth1) locked into hardware
03:05.47kergoth2) no source, binary only
03:05.50Shabba:-O
03:05.56absentiaSsounds like SCO
03:05.59Shabbaw-w-w-why would they do that?
03:06.05kergothtry google sometime

03:06.35kergothoh get a clue.
03:07.07Shabba:~(
03:07.24Shabbai'm serious.  there have been plenty of devices in the past that linux developers have had to tackle on their own
03:07.30Shabbai can't see how sd would be any different
03:07.33kergoththere is an open source MMC driver available, but you'd still need enough details on the hardware to access the SPI interface
03:07.37kergothno shit

03:08.06kergothdo you know how few laptops even have sd/mmc?

03:39.02Shabbasharp's OS is so bloated my SLC-700 is hardly usable (except by using a sd card with a big swap file), but i haven't switched to OZ yet because i have to admit, sharp's japanese support is just incredible.

04:19.54kergothbbeattie: I have one here that a friend lent me, why?
04:21.17bbeattiekergoth: my father is looking at getting one.  I'm just wondering how much software is compiled for them so far.. little from what I've seen.
04:21.44bbeattiekergoth: and I know you've been very busy, but also on the oz port..
04:22.41kergothwell, mine is sitting at an oz login prompt atm
04:22.43kergothso its not far off
04:23.01bbeattiekergoth: will most oz feed packages be compiled for xscale?
04:23.08kergoththey all do
04:23.17kergothwhat do you think our corgi feed is? (c700, 400mhz xscale unit)
04:23.53bbeattiekergoth: I have been out of things for a while due to work demands :-/
04:24.08bbeattiewould you recommend the 5600 or 5500 to people right now?
04:24.26drakonitehi room.  hi kergoth
04:24.32bbeattieespecially to someone who may want apps like zroadmap, that havn't been compiled for xscale I'm pretty sure.
04:25.21kergothif you're going to spend the cash, get a c750
04:25.29kergothimho the 5600 doesnt give you much for the cost
04:25.37kergothat least the c750 has a pxa255, no cache bug
04:25.44kergothplus the 640x480 lcd, and spiffy formfactor
04:25.58bbeattieis it available in US yet?
04:26.08kergothonly via importing it from brando/conics/dynamism
04:26.15bbeattiecost?
04:26.19kergothibot: brando
04:26.19somebody said brando was sells/exports the Sharp Zaurus and other electronics http://shop.brando.com.hk/ or mailto:brando@brando.com.hk.  C700 $500, C750 $525, C760 $610 USD, (and $45 shipping via fedex) use email for zaurus orders, or plus shipping, or no warranty and japanese sortware.
04:26.20drakoniteis the c750 the one that only has a hacked english rom?
04:26.29kergothdrakonite: uh, all the c7x0 units are from japan
04:26.35kergothdrakonite: but OZ works on all of them
04:27.05bbeattiekerboth: we're going to Linux world, which is where I got mine last year, and hopefully they'll be having them on sale there for a bit less.
04:27.21kergothahh cool
04:27.26drakonitekergoth: oh, thanks... I don't follow the models very closely *hides*  I just remember seeing some articles about buying a new one with a hacked english rom..
04:27.55kergoththe c700 has an english converted rom when you buy it from dynamism
04:28.02kergothc700 is no longer worth the cost
04:28.14kergothyou're better off buying them for cheaper from a differnet importer and installing OZ
04:28.49*** part/#openzaurus [DrEvil] (~blah@user-2ini8pi.dialup.mindspring.com)
04:29.00drakoniteah thanks. well, i got a 5500 for helping someone move so I don't have much plans in putting that much money into a new one...
04:29.51kergoth5500 is a good investment given the cost
04:30.05kergoth5600 and c700 arent worth it for those willing to spend the cash, go with the c750/c760
04:35.01drakoniteis there any place to go to get information about starting out contributing to oz?

04:41.16kergothsnapshots are available if you cant or wont use it
04:41.19kergothtarballs
04:41.21kergothibot: oz snapshot
04:41.22rumour has it, oz snapshot is http://openzaurus.sourceforge.net/snapshot/ or updated every 4 hours by Navi or this is a snapshot of the bk oz buildroot tree use it to compile your own OZ if you don't want to use BK
04:41.25kergothibot: oz buildroot
04:41.26well, oz bk is bk clone bk://openzaurus.bkbits.net/buildroot buildroot-oz; cd buildroot-oz; bk -r co -q; cp def-configs/collie-opie .config (for zaurus 5000d/5500) .. make oldconfig; make; or see bitkeeper (free download but non-gpl) or see 'oz snapshot' if you either cannot or will not use bitkeeper.
04:41.34drakonitelol
04:42.38drakonitewell, i'm not really against using bitkeeper... i just have to wait for it download,build, and install.
04:42.46kergothgotcha

04:58.51kergothdunno if that ver was broken or not
04:59.03drakonitehmm...
04:59.14kergothcould always upgrade opie to 0.9.9
04:59.32drakonitewell, i don't think i've seen a newer one.. the version before did this too.. when i try to start it, it makes a clicking noise then doesn't start.

05:19.21kergothnothing specific, look at the todo list and hack
05:19.50drakoniteokay, thanks. now if only bitkeeper will work and quit giving me errors..
05:23.02drakonitekergoth: can i make a complaint about the snapshot image?
05:24.05kergothwhat about it?
05:24.41drakonitewhen you download it, it has an extra ".gz" extension at the end. (i.e. snapshot.tar.bz2.gz)
05:24.51effy-kunanyone else here have a firewall setup using iptables?
05:25.03drakonitenot a big deal... i'm just annoyed cause bitkeeper won't work
05:25.03effy-kunI cant seem to open google, nor can I get Yahoo to perform a search for me though it opens.
05:26.20kergothdrakonite: it doesnt have a .gz, your browser added the .gz.  its probably really a tar.gz but named as a .bz2. i'll check
05:26.32drakoniteit's bzip2
05:27.35kergothwell, its not a .gz in filename or in file type then
05:27.58kergothits something with the web server's mime types and your browser.
05:28.12kergothboth of which are decidedly outside my control
05:28.28effy-kunkergoth: is that for me?

05:30.29kergothyes
05:30.43kergothbuild = build machine, as opposed to target, the machine you're building for
05:31.02drakonitealright... thats what i thought but just couldn't think of why it'd be asking me that, lol
05:31.32kergothsome distributions have differences when it comes to compiling things
05:31.43kergothsuch as the filename of the autoconf 2.5x binary vs the older autoconf binary
05:31.52drakoniteah, i gotcha now.
05:32.09drakoniteit's not a uclibc toolchain is it?
05:32.27kergoth?
05:33.06drakonitethere is an option "selected toolchain is uclibc toolchain"  which is off by default. but from what I know about uclibc it surprises me it's not used for this.
05:33.46kergothwe dont use uclibc as the default libc on the Z for binary compatibility reasons with sharp
05:33.57kergothsame reason we use gcc2 as the defautl compiler in most cases, and qt2.x vs 3.x
05:34.09drakoniteoh.

16:57.27Farewell, I'll survive. Where do I file a feature request?
16:57.52Farebbeattie: there are. "under linux", I don't know.
16:58.09Farethe J820 has host USB -- however linux support is deficient.
16:58.26curtisvUSB master is a rare feature currently, ask me in person about my quest... In the mean time I have a question about open zaurus file system. seems like the design is broken!?
16:59.01Farecurtisv: what's broken?
16:59.14kergothwhat?
16:59.23kergothcurtisv: elaborate.
17:01.01curtisvQuoting from the "how to use" ... " The danger associated with copying the entire /usr  directory is that it's required by the boot process. If, for any reason, your SD card fails to mount during the boot process, you won't get a clean boot."  This seems to go against the FHS .  any comments?
17:01.22kergothwhat are you talking about?
17:01.23kergothheh
17:01.50kergothwhats the deviation from FHS?
17:04.11*** join/#openzaurus Grez (~graham_li@dsl-62-3-71-131.zen.co.uk)
17:04.33curtisvThe how to use document could be mistaken, but it suggests that OpenZaurus will not boot properly if you goof with the /usr directory.  FHS suggests that everything in a linux system needed to boot should be in the root directory structure.  Typical unix useage allows /usr to be a device that is mounted long after boot containing user stuff not boot stuff.  So I am trying to figure out if there is a problem or not!?
17:05.00kergothit refuses to boot because it uses a busybox shell
17:05.17kergothwhich needs the /usr/bin/[ link for tests, since [ isnt a builtin.
17:05.38kergothalso, you'll note that nowhere on openzaurus.org do I state we're FHS compliant.
17:05.49kergothIts certainly a goal, but if we have to deviate, we'll deviate.
17:06.24curtisvI should look but I assume busy box is in /bin?
17:06.34kergothyes
17:07.10Copekergoth> For syncing with my laptop do you recommend using the Qtopia package on the laptop/desktop machine?
17:07.17kergothagain, it comes down to the fact that test/[ isnt a builtin in busybox ash
17:07.26kergothCope: you mean qtopia desktop?
17:07.38Copekergoth> I do
17:07.47kergothup to you. i dont sync :)
17:07.51*** part/#openzaurus Kerberos (~kerberos@200.76.152.5)
17:07.54kergothif you use kde, use kitchensync to sync with kdepim
17:07.57kergothworks pretty well
17:08.04Copekergoth> Blow my mind - why don't you sync?
17:08.32curtisvAs an aside I am looking at making a build system and doing a bit of a custom version of OpenZaurus for myself (and others if interested, but need to get up to speed with your design decisions as I could be wrong in my oppinions ;-)
17:08.36kergothI dont store PIM data on my desktop, my pda is the primary storage means
17:08.43kergothcurtisv: take a look at our new build infrastructure
17:08.51kergothcurtisv: buidlroot is going away
17:09.22kergothcurtisv: openembedded.org
17:09.27Copekergoth> The pim on the default OZ that I got yesterday - that isn't kdepim is it?
17:09.34kergothCope: what?
17:09.39kergothCope: i'm talking about the DESKTOP PIM APPS
17:09.45kergothi.e. what you'r esyncing your Z with
17:09.47curtisvback to busybox... if it is in /bin why are links required for boot in /usr/bin instead of /bin? Is this from sharps original design or for your own reasons?
17:10.02kergoththis isnt that hard to understand
17:10.05kergothokay, go to a desktop linux box
17:10.14Copekergoth> Yes, sorry, of course.
17:10.15kergothand tell me where the 'test' and '[' binaries are located.
17:10.22kergothI'm willing to bet they're in /usr/bin
17:10.28kergothwhich is exactly where they are on OZ
17:10.42kergoththe only reason its *not* a problem on a destkop, is the shell uses the test *builtin* so it doesnt need the external binary
17:10.49kergothhow many times do i have to explain this?
17:11.27curtisvSorry I've looked elsewhere for info on this but didn't run into it.
17:11.48kergothI find most of the things you need to know in dealing with embedded linux are best learned first hand
17:14.07curtisvSo true, although following previous practices of others sometimes is not best as your design issues may be different.  
17:14.55kergothyou'll note i didnt metnion whether the means of learning the skill came through ones own pratcices or some one elses :)
17:15.18curtisvI wave simply wondered why the SD device can't be mounted as /usr. although perhaps this is not ideal either.
17:15.32kergothwell now ya know, its due to the busybox shell not having a test builtin.
17:15.35kergoththere are a few ways we can work around it
17:15.42kergothbut its a rather low priority issue
17:16.24curtisvperhaps it is reasonable to put the links in /bin as they really don't take much space, but it sounds like you have been through this before?
17:16.52kergothbusybox has a config option to move all the links into /bin
17:17.02kergothbut that deviates from desktop linux behavior
17:17.05kergothwhich normally has test in /usr/bin
17:17.11kergoththats one of the options i mentioned
17:17.29kergothanother lets busybox find its own applets, even if there arent any symlinks to those applets in the path
17:17.32curtisvI see.  What are the current big issues for OZ?
17:17.42kergothwhich would be nice for other reasons, if you hose your busybox links, you can still use the system
17:17.52kergothso obviously i prefer that solution to the latter, since we gain multiple benefits
17:19.25kergothcurrently the biggest priorities are ironing out the kinks in the support for the zaurus sl-c750, sl-c760, and sl-5600 support, as well as kernel development for the Z in general, which you'll note is mentioned on the latest news update on openzaurus.org
17:19.37kergoth(which i just posted this afternoon)
17:20.10curtisvHmm, I have to think about "lets busybox find its own applets".  How would you implement this?  In BB shell - recognising its own function names?
17:20.23kergothyes
17:20.25curtisvWhich forum should I be reading?
17:20.29kergothits already implemented, its a busybox config optoin
17:20.30kergothoption rather

17:29.12kergothcurtisv: read docs/ in buildroot
17:29.20kergothibot: oz snapshot
17:29.20methinks oz snapshot is http://openzaurus.sourceforge.net/snapshot/ or updated every 4 hours by Navi or this is a snapshot of the bk oz buildroot tree use it to compile your own OZ if you don't want to use BK

19:54.35kergothnor is svn

19:57.08kergothit still doesnt come anywhere near bk

19:59.41prhtla is a very good choice now
19:59.51kergothhow many times do i have to tell you?
19:59.58kergothtla isnt sufficient, nor is arch, svn, or cvs.

20:03.29kergothI dont know the items off the top of my head, i have them written down somewhere in the doc that outlined the requirements of our CM system
20:03.35prhcurtisv: mcvoy said even submitting bug reports or fiddling with the code precludes you from using bk's 'open' license
20:03.43Pixel_Hey
20:03.57prhkergoth: ah - could I get a copy or find out where that is sometime?
20:04.16Pixel_I bought a c750 in japan and was wondering if it was worth it to try and install OpenZaurus on it - maybe you guys could help me?
20:04.19kergothyeah, i'll see if i can find it
20:04.35kergothc750 only works with oz as of yesterday, its not solid yet
20:04.40kergothi'll upload an experimental image later
20:04.41Pixel_woah
20:04.47Pixel_then i won't
20:08.50curtisvprh: fiddling with code (often done to evaluate a product) sure ends up limiting you then. (of course if you don't kiss and tell...)
20:10.47prhcurtisv: yes. I belive I am already exluded from using bk.
20:11.11kergothcould always use pavel's bk interoperability tools, if we make the tree available using rsync
20:11.41prhhmm if you let me rsync, then I could set u pa tla mirror tree
20:13.18prhback in a wee while
20:16.13curtisvkergoth: Not to ask more dumb question, but, I am guessing that you recommend cross development to build OZ?  I am running debian (mostly testing). pretty generic but no cross tools currently installed.  Any recommendations?
20:16.54kergothye,s we normally crosscopmile. just grab a crosscompiler toolchain tarball and have fun
20:17.40absentiawww.cnn.com
20:18.05curtisvOK, I will let you know when I get a working image.  
20:23.33curtisvkergoth: any news on having new kernels that can be flashed?
20:24.04kergothhm?
20:24.16kergothany kernel can be flashed.
20:28.37curtisvyou know I am asking about 2.4.19 availability (at least now you do).
20:28.54kergothi'm working on it as we speak
20:29.39curtisvis it in or out of the tree at this point? (really should have been my first question.)
20:29.45kergoth?
20:30.01kergoth'the tree'?
20:30.25kergothbuildroot can build it, yeah
20:30.30kergothis it in our default builds? no
20:30.35kergothare its sources in the tree? no
20:30.38kergothyour question was ambiguous
20:31.24curtisvtell you what , I'll stop distracting you and watch for the announcement. I figured that the source was still being cooked.
20:31.45kergothits not *released*. the sources are available.

21:37.14ljpI have a Oz-qtopia 1.6.2 running on c700
21:38.41bobbydljp: I have OZ running, it's just that I cant get the gcc package to compile code, it cant find crt1.o and I can find it anywhere in the packages (i've grep'd them all)
21:41.19kergothyou need a binutils ipk
21:47.16bobbydkergoth, if I just compile gcc and binutils for arm it should all work right?
21:47.32kergoththere's already a gcc ipk
21:47.38kergothor just grab the debian/ARM .deb's
21:47.41kergothand install em with ipkg
21:48.05bobbydkergoth: i realise this, but I've installed gcc and binutils and it doesnt work. I'll try the debs thanks
21:48.19kergoththen you need a glibc devel package
21:48.30kergothlibc6-dev, which woul dhave the headers, the glibc start and stop files, and the like
21:48.36bobbydok

21:54.04kergothno, thats glibc
21:54.09kergothi said you needed a glibc devel package
21:54.13kergothi didnt say OZ had one.
21:54.57bobbydi'm sorry if I seem stupid. OZ has a GCC package which you cant use because it needs files from a package OZ doesnt have?
21:55.12bobbydif that's the case I'll compile on and put it on my website
21:55.25kergothyes, thats the case.
21:55.32kergothi never claimed the gcc packages worked
21:55.40kergothi added them to the build knowing they would eventually
21:56.05bobbydahh ok
21:56.16bobbydthat's ok then! I thought I was just being stupid ;)
22:00.29bobbydI suppose If I want c++ support I'll have to compile it again? ;)
22:02.17kergoth?
22:02.31kergothi didnt build it with c++? i'm pretty sure i did
22:02.37bobbydIt says no
22:02.40kergothconsidering ispent like hours fighting libtool to get it to crosscompile properly
22:02.43kergoth"It"
22:02.45kergothwhat?
22:03.20bobbydgive me 30 seconds to give you a concise answer, I'll be sure not to be in the least vauge in the future...
22:04.13kergothk
22:06.26bobbydwhen I try to compile a test .cpp file with just "int main() {}" with the command line "gcc test.cpp" gcc gives the message "gcc: test.cpp: C++ compiler not installed on this system"
22:06.51bobbydsorry, there's a 'return 0;' in the main function obviously
22:07.51bobbydbut I think that's pretty compelling evidence, unless I have a configuration problem
