| [02:26] <scientes> is there something better than this? | |
| [02:26] <scientes> i am very interested | |
| [02:26] <scientes> i have 2 sheevaplugs but i need some armhf hardware | |
| [02:28] <infinity> Define "better". | |
| [02:29] <infinity> A PandaES will be faster, but also somewhat less portably self-contained. :P | |
| [02:29] <scientes> well yeah | |
| [02:29] <scientes> i like the form factor | |
| [02:29] <scientes> but i would like 1GB ram | |
| [02:29] <scientes> at least | |
| [02:30] <infinity> The Pandas have a gig of RAM. | |
| [02:30] <infinity> No small dev boards in the current generation will have more than a gig, as much as I wish they all did. | |
| [02:30] <infinity> (And I'm not a TI shill or anything, we just happen to support the Panda quite well in Ubuntu) | |
| [02:31] <scientes> cause support is mainlined... | |
| [02:31] <infinity> If you're happy finding your kernels elsewhere (like Linaro hwpacks), the Snowball and Origen are also decent choices. | |
| [02:31] <infinity> Panda support so isn't mainline... | |
| [02:31] <infinity> We have a forked kernel tree for omap4. :/ | |
| [02:32] <infinity> omap3 is mainline, and we do build beagle kernels from upstream source. | |
| [02:32] <scientes> i have no problem compiling my own kernel, but i like it to be up to date with mainline | |
| [02:32] <scientes> to some extent | |
| [02:32] * scientes builds his own sheeva kernels without initramfs | |
| [02:32] <scientes> unstead of using debian's kernel---they don't support installing to the 512NAND flash | |
| [02:32] <scientes> but i still run debian on it | |
| [02:35] <infinity> Don't let me talk you out of an AC100, though. I'm using one right now, and I like it well enough. | |
| [02:35] <infinity> It could use more community folk hacking on the kernel, though. | |
| [02:36] <infinity> But the 512MB of RAM is a bit of a bummer. | |
| [02:36] <scientes> what is lacking on it hardware support wise? | |
| [02:36] <scientes> UEFI FOR ARM!!!! | |
| [02:36] <scientes> WTF!!! | |
| [02:36] <infinity> Everything more or less works (except some sound issues). | |
| [02:37] <scientes> uEFI is a piece of shit | |
| [02:40] <scientes> so you are using usb gadget mode to boot the pandas? | |
| [02:43] <infinity> Hrm? | |
| [02:43] <infinity> As in, pushing via USB from another host? No. My Pandas boot uBoot from SD, and chain to a USB HDD from there. | |
| [02:44] <scientes> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LRWpuJRrTn4&feature=relmfu | |
| [02:44] <scientes> he says they boot from usb | |
| [02:44] <scientes> with some magic | |
| [02:44] <infinity> They boot from several different directions, in weird ways. | |
| [02:45] <infinity> But uBoot on an SD card is the most familiar way for most people. | |
| [02:45] <scientes> i use uboot and NAND flash for the sheevaplug | |
| [02:45] <scientes> with ubifs | |
| [02:45] <scientes> the ubifs device enumeration is a bit wierd | |
| [05:59] <GrueMaster> scientes: The arm server workload test framework uses usb-boot to reimage systems, then SD to boot into a usb drive. The tools should be in a bzr tree soon. | |
| === Guest46138 is now known as Termana | |
| [14:41] <janimo> GrueMaster, mongodb/arm is in Precise, I did not test it much besides checking it actually works. In case you need it for some testing setups | |
| [14:42] <GrueMaster> janimo: Let the server workload team know | |
| [14:42] <janimo> in #serer ? | |
| [14:42] <janimo> my keboard eats the letter '' | |
| [14:42] <janimo> or eilt? | |
| [14:43] <GrueMaster> In #eilt | |
| [14:44] * ogra_ still wonders who came up with that super silly name | |
| [14:44] <ogra_> eilt in german means "in a hurry" ... | |
| [17:37] <janimo> infinity, there's a new armadaxp kernel in NEW :D | |
| [17:37] <GrueMaster> janimo: Did you take over development of that kernel? | |
| [17:38] <janimo> GrueMaster, no, but I may be doing SRU's for it though later | |
| [17:38] <janimo> currently just sponsroing uploads for Ike Pahnc | |
| [17:38] <GrueMaster> Ah | |
| [17:38] <janimo> so he can get enough karma to get PPU rights | |
| [19:05] <ndec> ogra_: hi. do you still have the Blaze board? | |
| [19:06] <ogra_> you meanm the red elephant phone or the tablet ? | |
| [19:06] <ogra_> (i still have both) | |
| [19:08] <ndec> the red one. | |
| [19:08] <ndec> do you think you could ship it back? | |
| [19:09] <ogra_> hmm, sure | |
| [19:10] <ndec> do you remember which CPU was on it? e.g. which 4430 revision? | |
| [19:10] <ndec> it might be written on it... i am not sure. | |
| [19:10] <ogra_> pre something | |
| [19:10] <ogra_> it was a really early one | |
| [19:10] <ndec> if i need it for Andy from linaro. | |
| [19:11] <ogra_> (and i'm not near^ the device to check a sticker) | |
| [19:11] <ndec> if you can have it shipped to him directly, it's better ... | |
| [19:11] <ogra_> i'll have to check if that can fal under canonical shipments | |
| [19:11] <ogra_> *fall | |
| [19:11] <ndec> ok. worst case i guess the shippment back to me should fall under it | |
| [19:12] <ndec> if you need an email from me, asking to ship it to linaro instead of TI, let me know | |
| [19:12] <ogra_> right, i can talk to our shipment dept. on tuesday | |
| [19:12] <ndec> ok. great! | |
| [19:12] <ogra_> i'll let you know if i need anything | |
| [19:13] <ndec> sure | |
| [19:14] <GrueMaster> ndec: Would you like mine as well? If so, email me shipping instructions. | |
| [19:15] <ndec> GrueMaster: eheh.. i didn't know you had one too! | |
| [19:15] <ndec> do you know which silicon revision you have? | |
| [19:15] <ndec> or do you know what is the last kernel that ever worked on it?. | |
| [19:15] <ndec> by giving the board to andy, i want to make sure that the linaro kernel supports the blaze properly... | |
| [19:16] <GrueMaster> I have two daughterboards, and I think the one in the unit is an ES2.0 (I'd have to check). | |
| [19:16] <ndec> ouch.. that is old... | |
| [19:16] <ogra_> the other one should be the same as mine | |
| [19:16] <GrueMaster> I know the other board is the early pre-release version. | |
| [19:16] <ogra_> pre 1.0 i think | |
| [19:16] <ogra_> or *just* 1.0 | |
| [19:16] <ogra_> but i really think it was pre | |
| [19:16] <ndec> ok. but the blaze is stil red, not black, right?. | |
| [19:17] <GrueMaster> Yes. | |
| [19:17] <ndec> i have more recent processor boards with recent silicon. | |
| [19:17] <ndec> it's the board which is missing. | |
| [19:17] <GrueMaster> 2 minutes and I can tell you what revs I have. | |
| [19:17] <marvin24_DT> hi janimo | |
| [19:17] <ndec> GrueMaster: if you don't need it, then yes, I would be happy to get it back | |
| [19:18] <marvin24_DT> janimo: I wonder if it is still possible to update our kernel | |
| [19:18] <marvin24_DT> I have 3.0.27, wifi, zcache/zram and some sound updates | |
| [19:18] <marvin24_DT> or is it too late for precise already? | |
| [19:21] <GrueMaster> ndec: Ok, I have the original cpu (same as ogra_), and the ES2 revision. The Blaze is w/o camera or PICO. But I would like to send it back to TI, otherwise it will go to our Lexington office. | |
| [19:23] <ndec> ok. have it sent to me, then. | |
| [19:24] <GrueMaster> ndec: Can you email me an address? My ID at gmail. | |
| [19:24] <ndec> gmail? | |
| [19:25] <GrueMaster> gmail.com | |
| [19:26] <ndec> GrueMaster: can you PM it to me? | |
| [20:32] <janimo> marvin24, should be doable | |
| [20:32] <janimo> it's on the stable branch and well tested? | |
| [20:32] <janimo> should I just include all of that? no large features that may be disruptive? | |
| === plars is now known as plars-away | |
| [21:34] <marvin24_DT> janimo: well, most is update to 3.0.27 and a few wifi / zcache fixes | |
| [21:34] <marvin24_DT> all picked from upstream | |
| [21:34] <marvin24_DT> I ran it for some days now | |
| [21:35] <marvin24_DT> maybe you can provide a test package first | |
| [21:35] <janimo> marvin24, ok, if it is all in your stable branch I'll have a look :) | |
| [21:35] <janimo> sure | |
| [21:35] <marvin24_DT> janimo: I'll push it tomorrow | |
| [21:35] <marvin24_DT> after I made sure I got everything form -exp | |
| [21:35] <janimo> alright | |
| [21:35] <marvin24_DT> thanks | |
| [21:35] <janimo> np :) | |
