[04:27] <rbelem> hi all
[04:27] <rbelem> where can i download the arm toolchain?
[04:30] <rbelem> or should I build my own?
[09:15] <lool> rbelem: We use a native toolchain, you can install Ubuntu on an ARM device directly
[11:41] <rbelem> lool, I bricked my board :-(
[11:43] <rbelem> lool, I'm trying to build a new u-boot and another tools to rescue the board :-/
[11:45] <lool> rbelem: You could build natively within qemu
[11:46] <lool> There's also the possibility of building a cross toolchain or using a non-Ubuntu prebuilt one
[11:46] <lool> I don't know what uboot expectations are, if it's only a naked cross gcc I have that, if it's with libgcc I have not
[11:48] <rbelem> lool, well, i'm following this guide http://nishanthmenon.blogspot.com/2008/12/towards-creating-beagleboard-nand.html
[11:49] <rbelem> lool, and what it says about toolchain is "Cross compiler: arm-none-eabi-gcc: 2007q3-53 (4.2.1)"
[11:49] <rbelem> lool, it seems to be the codesourcery toolchain
[11:50] <armin76> rbelem: you probably want crosstool
[11:50] <armin76> or use gentoo *g*
[11:51] <ogra> rbelem, eh ? why dont you just create an SD card with a recovery u-boot image ?
[11:51] <lool> rbelem: Yes, it's likely to be the code sourcery toolchain; you can download it from code sourcery directly
[11:51] <ogra> there are plenty around you can just dd to the card to fix your board
[11:57] <rbelem> ogra, I tryied all day long, yesterday, using the mmc method, but it did not work for me. I was looking for another way to recover, so I found that one.
[11:58] <ogra> what exactly does your board do on boot? do you get any output on the serial console ?
[11:59] <rbelem> lool, I searched their website and I just found the sources, maybe I did not look very well :-)
[12:00] <rbelem> ogra, I try again and will paste the result to you
[12:05] <lool> rbelem: http://elinux.org/BeagleBoard#Cortex_A8_ARM
[12:07] <rbelem> ogra, I guess it worked, like a miracle. \o/. I just used the same sd card, but it stuck

[12:07] <rbelem> thanks very much lool
[12:08] <ogra> :)
[12:08] <rbelem> ogra, yesterday I was getting a different error
[12:11] <rbelem> ogra, i will wait for a while to see what happens
[12:26] <rbelem> ogra, nothing happens, I will reset
[12:27] <rbelem> ogra, now I got the same error
[12:28] <rbelem> http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/d78fb6b36
[12:29] <rbelem> and another
[12:29] <rbelem> http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/d53897951
[12:58] <lool> rbelem: That sounds like hardware issues, but I could be wrong; for PCs, ECC means your RAM is checksummed
[12:58] <lool> Or rather has a parity bit
[13:01] <rbelem> lool, I read somewhere that this error is common when nand is wrongly flashed
[13:02] <lool> Oh ok, might be ECC in the flash then
[13:03] <rbelem> lool, I downloaded a MLO that done that.
[13:03] <rbelem> lool, from here http://code.google.com/p/beagleboard/
[13:05] <rbelem> lool, "There are some broken MLO (x-loader) out there which fail to boot if something wrong is in NAND. E.g.: "
[13:06] <rbelem> "This seems to happen with both MLO's from Beagle source code page (381MHz and 500MHz one) independent of U-Boot version. "
[13:06] <rbelem> :-(
[13:11] <lool> Hmm no idea
[14:58] <rbelem> hi all, i'm on the way to unbrick my beagle :-D
[14:59] <rbelem> i'will describe later what was done in details
[14:59] <rbelem> thanks to you all
[14:59] <rbelem> :-D
[15:05] <rbelem> ogra, which kernel fits better for beagle? this? http://people.ubuntu.com/~ogra/arm/beagle/kernel/
[15:05] <ogra> no, thats pretty old, i guess the mojo kernels are better for now
[15:05] <ogra> or build something based on the openembedded tree
[15:06] <ogra> they have all the patches for the framebuffer that are missing from linux-omap atm
[15:06] <rbelem> cool! thanks ogra
[15:07] <ogra> ask koen in #beagle where to get it :)
[15:08] <rbelem> ogra, nice! ;-)
[15:08] <rbelem> \o/
[15:12] <ogra> i'd suggest a xubuntu desktop and a lot of swapspace btw
[15:12] <ogra> thats what i run on mine, runs half way decent
[15:13] <ogra> (not actually fast, but usable for the patient soul ; ) )
[16:48] <lool> dave_m: Around?
