00:00.03 | Le_Sot_Zi | I have an img |
00:00.17 | Le_Sot_Zi | it contains a "clone" of my flash root |
00:00.35 | KallDrexx | O.o |
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/ |
00:06.31 | Le_Sot_Zi | for bluetooth peripherals ;) |
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 |

00:19.51 | Le_Sot_Zi | you can run 2 scripts in order to copy the flash |
00:20.08 | Le_Sot_Zi | and a last one to install the bootloader |
00:20.26 | Le_Sot_Zi | a reboot |
00:20.35 | Le_Sot_Zi | you can select the sd boot |

13:22.32 | alan|home | fourcheeze: i never use pim on my zaurus, but i'd say that for pim, opie seems to be a bit more user friendly... But you can use a contact manager, a calendar, a skectch book, and a to do list, well, anything you may need. |

13:26.47 | fourcheeze | does gpe get the time right ? ;-) |

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 |

14:52.48 | hrw|work | 5500? grab newer one |
14:52.52 | dracflamloc_ | also, does sharp still make replacement batteries for zaurus? |
14:53.10 | dracflamloc_ | well. all i found on ebay were 5500's |
14:53.51 | hrw|work | c760 was on ebay iirc |
14:54.16 | hrw|work | today I will grab cxxxx or tosa (6000) |
14:54.24 | hrw|work | s/will/would |
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 |
15:14.15 | eccerr0r | sigh. this poodle sux. arggh. |
15:14.25 | dracflamloc_ | poodle? |
15:14.37 | eccerr0r | 5600 |
15:15.17 | eccerr0r | I wouldnt care too much about rebooting it so often if it didn't lose time |
15:17.22 | eccerr0r | and now it's not associating with my AP |
15:18.23 | hrw|work | eccerr0r: with wep or without? |

15:19.03 | eccerr0r | it was working fine yesterday. |
15:20.11 | dracflamloc_ | there arent any retailers that sell zaurus? |
15:20.16 | eccerr0r | not picking up any AP's anymore...hmm |
15:21.16 | hrw|work | dracflamloc_: US or europe? |
15:21.26 | dracflamloc_ | US |
15:21.36 | hrw|work | there is one |
15:21.43 | dracflamloc_ | most euro sites will ship to usa |
15:22.36 | dracflamloc_ | what site? |
15:23.13 | hrw|work | cant recall name |

15:58.14 | XorA | alan|home: file:///media/cf/feed |
15:58.54 | dracflamloc_ | whats the difference between 5500 and 5600> |
15:59.52 | eccerr0r | 5600 has 400MHz CPU, half the RAM and 4x the flash storage, has an internal microphone. |
16:00.13 | eccerr0r | also has no onboard RTC (GRR!) |
16:00.14 | alan|home | XorA: haaa. triple slash... that is it... thanks. |
16:01.38 | XorA | eccerr0r: and you missed, very little OZ support |
16:02.50 | eccerr0r | yes that too. seems most people gave up on it... |
16:03.15 | eccerr0r | then again 5500 is not that far off either. |
16:03.55 | dracflamloc_ | hm |
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? |
16:03.56 | XorA | eccerr0r: we never had any to give up on |
16:05.16 | eccerr0r | argh. forgot to set root password |
16:05.31 | eccerr0r | now qt-packagemanager froze |
16:08.08 | eccerr0r | might have to go back to sharprom... |
16:08.37 | eccerr0r | I just don't get why OZ kernel is so unreliable compared to the sharprom kernel? |
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? |

18:17.08 | dracflamloc_ | i meant pocket size |
18:17.24 | dracflamloc_ | much bigger than a 3x5 index card? |
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" |

22:57.21 | raduga | bitbake doesn't seem to have a package for gcc2.95 |
22:57.35 | raduga | is it "deprecated" :P |
22:57.45 | raduga | er. package or task |
22:58.08 | raduga | s/bitbake/oe/ |
23:01.56 | raduga | oh. |
23:02.18 | raduga | it appears that gcc 2.95 needs to be installed *separate* from the OE environment |
23:04.08 | raduga | is there an etiquette with regards to edits to the help pages in the wiki? |
23:04.21 | raduga | maybe this isn't the right place to ask. |
23:04.25 | raduga | thanks, all :) |
23:09.30 | eccerr0r | apparently so. for kernel and modules it uses 2.95 bins, and everything else, 3.4.4 ?! |
