| 00:00.43 | Le_Sot_Zi | on boot I have a grub-like (but ran after booting kernel) |
| 00:00.48 | KallDrexx | wonder how much 0.99 GBP is in US$ |
| 00:00.58 | KallDrexx | how easy is it to setup a SD root setup? |
| 00:01.12 | Le_Sot_Zi | and it asks me if I want to exec init scripts on flash or sd img |
| 00:01.26 | Le_Sot_Zi | 0,99GBP ~= 1,5$ |
| 00:01.47 | Le_Sot_Zi | there shipping from england if you come from states ;) |
| 00:02.04 | Le_Sot_Zi | it very easy |
| 00:02.13 | Le_Sot_Zi | there are tuts on openzaurus.org |
| 00:02.14 | KallDrexx | are all SD cards compatable with the Zaurus? |
| 00:02.18 | KallDrexx | cool |
| 00:02.26 | Le_Sot_Zi | yes, I think so... |
| 00:03.17 | Le_Sot_Zi | I love ebay :p |
| 00:03.59 | Le_Sot_Zi | some people hates it |
| 00:04.12 | Le_Sot_Zi | but I can do very good business ;) |
| 00:04.30 | KallDrexx | yeah some decent prices |
| 00:05.15 | Le_Sot_Zi | I had my Z 5500, with a wifi CF card, 1 64MB SD card, 1 128MB CF card, and the case for 150¤ |
| 00:05.24 | Le_Sot_Zi | (about 170$, I think) |
| 00:06.01 | Le_Sot_Zi | the wifi cf card costs 70$ |
| 00:06.09 | Le_Sot_Zi | I had the serial bt aircable also ! |
| 00:06.20 | KallDrexx | whats an aircalbe/ |

| 00:06.43 | KallDrexx | ahhh |
| 00:06.46 | KallDrexx | cool :D |
| 00:07.08 | Le_Sot_Zi | and I can see bt GPS units for 25$ |
| 00:08.00 | Le_Sot_Zi | but there's no free vectorial cards of France for concurrencing commercial products |

| 13:28.07 | hrw|work | only collie has hardware clock |
| 13:28.14 | fourcheeze | ahh |
| 13:28.22 | fourcheeze | that explains why this c860 is so bad |
| 13:28.34 | fourcheeze | that's terrible not having a hardware clock |
| 13:28.48 | hrw|work | sharp did few more hardware errors |
| 13:29.00 | hrw|work | no hardware control for charging for example |
| 13:32.04 | fourcheeze | is that why it doesn't want to run on power when the battery is full? |
| 13:32.29 | fourcheeze | if I charge it goes from empty to full and then it stops the connection and drains the battery |

| 15:03.21 | dracflamloc_ | hm |
| 15:04.17 | hrw|work | 5500 is popular but has very limited flash space and it looks like there wont be 2.6 kernel for it in near future |
| 15:04.40 | hrw|work | c7x0 got 2.6 kernel support which works nice - much nicer then 2.4-sharpcrap |
| 15:05.08 | hrw|work | cxxxx and 6000 have semi-working 2.6 support and work is progressing |
| 15:14.05 | dracflamloc_ | i see a couple 5600's on ebay, but no c7x0 |

| 15:15.17 | eccerr0r | I wouldnt care too much about rebooting it so often if it didn't lose time |

| 15:21.36 | hrw|work | there is one |
| 15:21.43 | dracflamloc_ | most euro sites will ship to usa |

| 16:02.50 | eccerr0r | yes that too. seems most people gave up on it... |

| 16:03.56 | eccerr0r | I can't believe the APM bug slipped both the collie and poodle releases - same bug plagued both, but more 5500 users so collie got fixed first? |

| 16:05.31 | eccerr0r | now qt-packagemanager froze |
| 16:08.08 | eccerr0r | might have to go back to sharprom... |

| 16:10.56 | raduga | eccerr0r: do you get that OZ is an experimental project? |
| 16:11.24 | eccerr0r | yes. but isn't the OZ kernel based off of the sharprom kernel (actually, identical?) |
| 16:11.35 | eccerr0r | (since they're from the same source!) |
| 16:11.40 | raduga | not identical for sure. |
| 16:11.56 | raduga | also depends on which kernel you're using. if 2.6, not sharp kernel at all! |
| 16:12.00 | eccerr0r | 2.4! |
| 16:12.10 | raduga | 2.4.20 or 2.4.18? |
| 16:12.12 | eccerr0r | 18! |
| 16:12.28 | raduga | well, they have experimental patches added, that correct for Sharp bugs |
| 16:12.33 | raduga | and add new, different bugs. |
| 16:12.39 | XorA | eccerr0r: a lot of the bugs in the kernel are in bits of code the sharp rom just doesnt use |
| 16:12.54 | XorA | eccerr0r: like the APM bug, that was hidden by userspace |
| 16:13.07 | raduga | but the OZ kernels are actively being developed, Sharp kernels are not. |
| 16:13.18 | raduga | although, there's not much news in 2.4 these days |
| 16:13.49 | XorA | raduga: we hope the 2.4 kernels die a horrible death :-) |
| 16:13.58 | raduga | that's not very nice. |
| 16:14.13 | dracflamloc_ | well |
| 16:14.17 | raduga | why not hope them a nice, peaceful and benevolent retirement, after all they've done for us? |
| 16:14.17 | dracflamloc_ | does 2.6 work on 5500? |
| 16:14.27 | raduga | drac: to some extent. |
| 16:14.57 | XorA | raduga: you obviosuly never worked with a Sharp 2.4 kernel :-) |
| 16:15.33 | raduga | xora: I've written patches even :P |
| 16:15.57 | raduga | xora: though, honestly its pretty scary |
| 16:16.17 | raduga | xora: still, I never really wish the death of old code, unless its PASCAL |
| 16:16.37 | raduga | and FORTRAN-77 i would just be happy never to have to see again. |
| 16:17.02 | raduga | hrm. |
| 16:17.07 | raduga | anyone here used squashfs? |
| 16:17.15 | raduga | its got some endianness options :/ |
| 16:17.29 | raduga | i assume I should target for little-endian |
| 16:17.49 | raduga | with 4k padding? without? |

| 18:18.04 | JustinP | yes |
| 18:18.13 | JustinP | wow, my first answer was the one you wanted? amazing! |
| 18:19.27 | dracflamloc_ | lol |
| 18:19.45 | dracflamloc_ | well i'm not gonna carry this thing all around the factory doing IT stuff if its too big for my pocket |
| 18:20.14 | dracflamloc_ | do you think i'd be better off getting a used ipaq off ebay and putting linux on it? |
| 18:21.04 | JustinP | not if you want to do anyting useful on it |
| 18:21.23 | JustinP | I liked my 5500 just fine |
| 18:21.31 | dracflamloc_ | yea thats what made it attract me |
| 18:21.34 | JustinP | I carried it in a cargo pocket in my shorts/pants |
| 18:21.42 | dracflamloc_ | but they are 150 bucks on ebay |
| 18:22.36 | JustinP | you *could* carry it in a shirt-pocket but it's going to stick out |
| 18:22.36 | dracflamloc_ | bit pricy for a discontinued product |
| 18:22.36 | JustinP | no |
| 18:22.36 | JustinP | that's not pricey |
| 18:22.36 | JustinP | pricey is the C3000 |
| 18:22.36 | JustinP | which I have now |
| 18:22.36 | JustinP | I paid >$400 for my 5500 a few years ago |
| 18:22.36 | dracflamloc_ | heh, yea well thats downright unaffordable for me |
| 18:22.36 | JustinP | $150 is a great price IMHO |
| 18:23.13 | dracflamloc_ | only thing turning me off of the 5500 becsides the price is someone said that its rom is too small for 2.6 kernel or something |
| 18:26.19 | JustinP | you have 2 things combined there |
| 18:26.37 | JustinP | the internal flash is very small and hard to use for anything useful |
| 18:26.48 | JustinP | however you can put root on an SD card and have all the space you want |
| 18:27.11 | JustinP | 2.6 kernel will likely never be fully functioning on the 5500 due to the closed SD chip / driver |
| 18:28.37 | raduga | hrm... |
| 18:28.52 | raduga | i just grabbed the latest bitbake and OE dev system |
| 18:28.58 | raduga | looking for to bake a nice kernel |
| 18:29.16 | raduga | but I can't find *any* bloody 2.4 era kernels in the stew at all. |
| 18:29.26 | dracflamloc_ | JustinP, but people said 2.4 isnt being worked on anymore, so where does that leave the 5500? |
| 18:29.44 | raduga | does OE no longer support the 5500? |
| 18:30.19 | raduga | elsewise, |
| 18:30.33 | raduga | what's the proper way to use OE to build a kernel? |
| 18:30.40 | raduga | maybe I'm doing something wrong |
| 18:31.06 | JustinP | raduga: you are, the 2.4 kernels are there. What are you looking for? |
| 18:31.19 | *** join/#openzaurus hardwire (n=hardwire@209-112-185-146-cdsl-rb1.nwc.acsalaska.net) |
| 18:31.24 | raduga | justin: a kernel for an akita |
| 18:31.24 | JustinP | dracflamloc_: people are still using the 5500. It is *STILL SUPPORTED*. I don't know why people think it's not. |
| 18:31.37 | raduga | which package should I use? |
| 18:31.49 | JustinP | raduga: and what are you looking for? Set up your machine/distro in your local.conf and go for it |
| 18:32.17 | raduga | justin: fine, and done. |
| 18:32.19 | JustinP | dracflamloc_: the 2.4 kernels are horrible, but work is still being done on them for the devices which need it (such as 5500) |
| 18:32.27 | dracflamloc_ | op |
| 18:32.29 | dracflamloc_ | oh |
| 18:32.34 | raduga | justin: what bitbake command would I issue to build one? |
| 18:32.41 | JustinP | dracflamloc_: the 5500 kernel has been heavily patched, actually, and works pretty well |
| 18:33.01 | raduga | or where would I go to figure that out :) |
| 18:33.03 | JustinP | raduga: you want openzaurus-pxa27x |
| 18:33.11 | raduga | thanks :) |
| 18:33.22 | JustinP | raduga: that would be in conf/machine/akita.conf (I believe) |
| 18:33.32 | raduga | justin: sorry. I'm *very* new to OE, just a little confused. |
| 18:33.47 | raduga | (sorry if I seem brain damaged at times) |
| 18:33.53 | JustinP | it's fine |
| 18:37.49 | raduga | when bitbake starts up, it spends a few minutes 'handling bitbake files' even when just reading them from cache. |
| 18:38.13 | raduga | is there a way to avoid having to rebuild the .bb list every time I invoke bitbake? |
| 18:38.37 | raduga | or is that the way its supposed to work? |
| 18:41.29 | JustinP | raduga: bitbake -i |
| 18:42.29 | raduga | justinP: still doing "handling bitbake files:" |
| 18:42.45 | raduga | parsing through them, or something. hrmf |
| 18:42.47 | JustinP | raduga: with bitbake -i you get an interactive shell for building |
| 18:43.01 | JustinP | raduga: as long as you don't exit the shell you don't have to reparse ;-) |
| 18:43.07 | raduga | oh, ok. |
| 18:43.37 | raduga | so the irritating parsing bit *is* part of the design, and not something unclever I'm doing ;) |
| 18:44.14 | raduga | that's fine, then |
| 18:45.20 | JustinP | well, the initial parse is very slow |
| 18:45.27 | JustinP | later parses are faster as it uses a cache |
| 18:46.19 | raduga | > when bitbake starts up, it spends a few minutes 'handling bitbake files' even when just reading them from cache. |
| 18:46.50 | raduga | original parse took ~ 5 minutes, parsing from cache ~ 1.8 |
| 18:47.48 | raduga | I've been spoiled by "echo jkakdfkjafkadjkkadfajf > file.c ; gcc file.c ; ./a.out" |
