00:58.14zap-zerohi
00:58.52zap-zerocould it be that 3.5.3 has a bug where the zaurus suspends while on ac even if the setting says 'never' for ac, but 60sec for 'battery'?
00:59.08zap-zeroalso, it doesn't seem to awake from this 'suspend' w/o a full reset :(
00:59.23zap-zeroi'll upgrade to 3.5.4 now and hope the problem'll go away
01:07.06CoreDump|homezap-zero: yeah, I remember such a problem. It should be fixed in 3.5.4(.1)

01:17.12zap-zerois there already a 2.6.x kernel image available for collie for openzaurus 3.5.4?
01:18.16zap-zero3.5.4/images/collie/ probably only has 2.4.x images, but in 3.5.4.2/feed/machine/collie/ there's a file named kernel-image-2.6.17_2.6.17-r22_collie.ipk
01:18.19zap-zero(?)
01:20.55JustinPzap-zero: the rc for 3.5.4.2 has 2.6. However, there's no SD support
01:21.21zap-zerooic :(
01:24.00zap-zeroare the specs for the sd card reader closed? or does just nobody get around to writing the driver for 2.6?
01:26.53CoreDump|homethe latter

01:27.58summatusmentiszap-zero, I have plans to work on one within the next month, it'll be my first kernel project, so I don't know how successful I'll be....
01:28.16zap-zeroic
01:28.20zap-zerogood luck
01:29.11summatusmentisthanks, I really don't want to lose support for the collie
01:30.54zap-zeroif i'd time and not already 27 other items in my .plan, i'd probably work at the sd driver too :)
01:31.14zap-zerothough i'm also not very experienced with kernel stuff yet
01:37.15summatusmentisthis'll be my first project, but I figure why not?
01:38.20Mavez-Sansummatusmentis got openbsd 4.0 current :)
01:38.34Mavez-Sannow i need to build all my apps again
01:38.36Mavez-San>_<
01:38.58zap-zeroyeah... you probably can learn much from already existing drivers for other sd readers
01:45.50summatusmentiszap-zero, that's the plan
01:46.02summatusmentisMavez-San, just let me know how usable it is...

02:21.39summatusmentisanyone have any idea how long it takes a soldering gun to heat up?
02:22.01CoreDump|homedepends on the gun of course ;)
02:22.26summatusmentison average?
02:22.34summatusmentisor is it really that different?
02:22.38CoreDump|homeit is
02:22.51summatusmentis:-/ alright, i'll wait it out I guess
02:23.14CoreDump|homeI know battery driven models that heat up in <1m, and I know AC driven models that need 3 times that
02:23.21JuicyJCoreDump, Thanks, I've tried both.  I formatted my card with my xp machine.  I should also say that this is a card I know I've used before
02:23.45CoreDump|homeJuicyJ: try formating it w/ a camera or some such
02:24.01summatusmentisCoreDump|home, the one I'm using is a cheap Radio Shack one, w/ a power plug(AC, I think)
02:24.10CoreDump|homesummatusmentis: basically, if the solder melts on contact, it is hot enuff ;)

02:25.21summatusmentisstupid science fair project, I should've picked something easier, or started earlier, or something
02:25.32CoreDump|homeor something hehe
02:27.01summatusmentisI just want to sit, and yearn after a new 3200
02:27.19CoreDump|homeFWIW, there is solder with very high melting point out there. If your gun doesn't get that hot, you'll way forever =)
02:27.53CoreDump|homekolla: I couldn't even imaging my collie w/o SD
02:28.02summatusmentisCoreDump|home, I'll use the solder that came w/ the gun, to see if it's hot enough...
02:29.04kollaCoreDump|home: why not.. 8GB CF card, usbdnet for network and syncing documents (music and TV series episodes)...
02:29.06summatusmentisit was plugged into the wrong power strip...
02:29.20CoreDump|homesummatusmentis: =D
02:29.29CoreDump|homekolla: I prefer CF WIFI ;)
02:30.05kollaI found it much easier to live with when I just dropped CF wifi :)

07:24.49[Outcast]the 5500 is a punk ass
07:25.45[Outcast]has one loaded open zaurus on the 5500?
07:28.35[Outcast]I need to know if a 512 CF card is to large to use when flashing?
07:30.13NAbyss_[Outcast]: I've used a 2gb CF card with my 3100.. I'd assume 512 wouldn't be an issue with the 5500
07:30.24NAbyss_[Outcast]: Most of the compatibility problems reported seem to be with SD, not CF
07:32.17[Outcast]i have no luck, I do get an intresting result . after releasing the rest and "c" and "d" keys not light turn on, but when I pull the CF card then both lights blink
07:32.29[Outcast]so I think it might be a problem with the CF card.
07:33.26NAbyss_Hmm, I've had no experience with the 5500.. do you have another card to test it with?
07:33.52[Outcast]no but I am going to use the Zaurus to reformat it.

19:16.25webmindgood question :)
19:16.51hvontres|poodlezap-zero: I think the main reason is that on a SD or CF card, the internal controller already does the wear leveleing for you. JFFS was designed to work directly with the chips connected to the CPU
19:17.33hvontres|poodlezap-zero: But that is only from my limited understanding. you might try asking on the MTD mailing list.

19:19.35zap-zerois that enabled in the OZ 2.4.x kernel?

19:21.27zap-zerosl-5500g
19:23.01hvontres|poodlezap-zero: If you feel up to it, you could try to install OE and roll your own kernel... but the 2.4 kernels are kinda tricky and you probably won't get much help, since 2.4 has become the evil stepchild kernel
19:23.36hvontres|poodlezap-zero: Or you could try to finaly write that collie SD driver for 2.6 :)
19:24.13zap-zeroi already said yesterday i'd do this if i hadn't 29 other items on my plan... (well, iirc it were only 27 yesterday :)
19:25.41hvontres|poodlezap-zero: so why do you want to use jffs2 on sd in the first place ?
19:26.37zap-zerobecause of the compression
19:26.55zap-zeroi can use ext2 meanwhile tho
19:29.57hvontres|poodlezap-zero: Actually, I am running 3.5.4.2 on a 5600 entirely off of an ext2 SD card and it seems a bit snappier now :)
19:30.26hvontres|poodlezap-zero: Plus, those 1 GB cards are getting pretty cheap these days :)
