| lool | Excellent choice | 16:46 |

| Martyn | Morning. | 16:59 |
| Martyn | Well, afternoon now. | 16:59 |
| Martyn | ogra : Could I entice you to make an image that boots to single-user for me? We're still waiting for the serial breakout dongle, and I want to run some benchmarks that get skewed if X is loaded. | 17:00 |
| Martyn | Well, wait, not single user .. just X-less | 17:00 |
| * Martyn tried hex editing the Redboot sector in the image that has the kernel command line, but if you even touch a single byte of it, the board doesn't boot. | 17:01 | |
| * Martyn is now working on getting u-boot functioning | 17:02 | |
| Martyn | hey all | 19:14 |
| Martyn | Anyone working on the mx51 platform awake? | 19:15 |
| lool | Martyn: Shortly | 19:23 |
| Martyn | Ping me when you're ready to talk u-boot and kernels :) | 19:23 |
| lool | Martyn: Concerning RedBoot config, it's checksummed; I can hand you a C version of "fconfig", but it's not able to change settings | 19:23 |
| lool | Martyn: Eh, it's a tad late for me | 19:23 |
| lool | Martyn: Concerning U-Boot, you have anything working yet? | 19:24 |
| Martyn | lool : I know. What I need then is an image that has "text" appended to the kernel command line... | 19:24 |
| lool | I'm working on a Perl version of fconfig, but was distracted today | 19:24 |
| Martyn | lool : Somewhat. I can now load the kernel image into RAM from the SD card, but cannot execute. I need to read through the MX's massive documentation to see what I'm doing wrong. | 19:24 |
| lool | I just got the checksum working thursday | 19:24 |
| Martyn | I cannot load the initrd into ram however. | 19:24 |
| Martyn | lool : cksum on u-boot :) Woot. | 19:25 |
| lool | No, of the redboot config | 19:25 |
| Martyn | I've also poked at my higher-ups (aka, CEO) to get cracking on getting better communication between canonical and us, so we can talk more freely. | 19:25 |
| lool | Martyn: I know we had issues with initramfs earlier, but it should be all working now | 19:25 |
| Martyn | lool : Gotcha. hopefully ogra will have a new sdcard image built soon then. | 19:26 |
| Martyn | I'm going to keep picking away at u-boot till it works, since that's the more "standard" bootloader on ARM these days. | 19:26 |
| Martyn | and it would be nice to have an in-firmware monitor. | 19:27 |
| lool | Hmm that's harder I think | 19:28 |
| * lool waves and goes away for tonight | 19:28 | |
| armin76 | Martyn: afaik freescale is working on porting it to u-boot, or something i read on the powerdeveloper site | 19:50 |
| Martyn | armin76 : Do you have a link to the powerdeveloper article? | 19:51 |
| armin76 | sec | 19:52 |
| armin76 | Martyn: http://www.powerdeveloper.org/forums/viewtopic.php?p=12019 | 19:59 |
| armin76 | read the part Genesi and Freescale will be responsible for the Firmware... | 20:00 |
| Martyn | Heh. | 20:01 |
| Martyn | "Please don't submit projects to port u-boot, as Freescale will be handling this themselves...." | 20:01 |
| Martyn | *chuckle* | 20:01 |
| Martyn | good lord .. some of those proposals date back to 2004 :) | 20:03 |
| Martyn | You'd think they would have gotten u-boot working from the theoretical to the actual in five years :) | 20:03 |
| armin76 | Martyn: i think you're reading on the efika | 20:03 |
| armin76 | or pegasos | 20:04 |
