nat2610hey, I'm curious, how do you compile everything for arm. IO02:39
nat2610I'm looking at doing some cross compilation and generating an application that I'm working on, on my i386 linux and I'd like to generate an arm binrary02:40
nat2610I'm stock on the system library, for instance, I link libobjc.so.2 to my app but ld if I use arm-none-linux-gnueabi-gcc, ld complain that it can't find that lib since the one my system have is compiled for i38602:41
nat2610but I know I have it on my arm system with ubuntu02:42
nat2610hmmm let me try to say that again02:43
=== bjf is now known as bjf_afk
playyanat2610, ubuntu prefers native builds06:59
playyayou need a arm5 device to compile it there06:59
=== bjf_afk is now known as bjf
=== mcasadevall is now known as NCommander
nat2610playya, so I can't do any cross compiling at all ? I saw some stuff like http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/sbox2 but I don't really know who uses that (I was hopping ubuntu would be ;) )18:48
nat2610playya,  I forgot to add, I have a arm5 device but it's really slow so I'm trying to build everything on my pc i386 and just copy over the binraries generated18:49
armin76nat2610: ubuntu is about using pre-built binaries :)19:18
[g2]nat2610: depending on what you are trying to cross-compile, you may want setup a full environment, or just run the arm-rootfs in qemu and cross-compile from within a native environment19:22
kblinhi folks21:35
kblinI'm running jaunty on a beagle board using one of ogra's kernels, and it seems like there's something weird going on with /proc21:36
kblinspecifically, /proc/<pid>/maps and /proc/<pid>/smaps are empty21:37
kblinany idea what could be causing this?21:37
Martynkblin : An incomplete implementation22:14
Martynkblin : find one of the OMAP3 git trees, and you'll have to build a custom kernel22:15
kblinok, I'll have to look into that then22:15
MartynThere is a good 2.6.29 (and now .30) kernel that compiles well.  Don't use the tree that has the alternate video driver (ubuntu doesn't know how to drive it, and you'll end up with just a text console)22:15
kblinhey, I can fix the ip6tables modules while at that :)22:16
kblinMartyn: it's a headless ubuntu-server box, I don't mind :)22:16
Martynoh!22:16
MartynWell, then...22:16
kblinI'm trying to turn it into a file server, active directory domain controller22:16
Martynyou're going to find that IO performance on the beagle is ATROCIOUS22:17
MartynSeriously poo-poo22:17
kblinyeah, I know22:17
MartynI am using USB->SATA on a Beagle C3, and frankly I just want to throw it at a wall most days22:17
MartynThen again, I'm getting /really/ used to working with the power of the new Cortex-A8 processors, and even Cortex A9 in the software FastModel simulators22:17
kblinespecially as it seems like networking flakes out on my revB if I use a 2.0 USB hdd22:18
MartynThere's nothing like having 2, even 4 cores to really make things go zoom22:18
MartynYes22:18
Martynthere's a power issue on the RevB22:18
Martyndon't even bother with the B22:18
kblinwell, that's what I got here..22:18
kblinbtw, power issue? would that matter on a powered hub?22:19
kblinanyway, this is more or less a proof of concept to show off at the storage developer's conference22:20
Martynkblin : no, it's a matter of the on-board 100mw22:20
Martynkblin : For some reason, the USB OTG hub tends to 'brown out' for no good reason22:20
kblinok, weird :)22:21
Martynwhich causes the hub to go into a bad state22:21
Martynthe host controller, rather22:21
Martynyeah, feh :)22:21
MartynC2/C3 doesn't suffer from the issue22:21
Martynand has a PROPER port on it22:21
kblinthat matches what I see in dmesg22:21
kblinwell, crud :)22:21
kblinI guess if I really want to do this with a decent performance, I should be using a system with on-board ethernet anyway :)22:22
Martynthis is similar to the problem my company is trying to solve.  Yep.22:22
Martynkblin : There will be  (soon)  some boards based on the OMAP3 and i.mx51 that are similar to the beagle22:23
Martynwith more onboard devices22:23
Martynthere are also beagle-clones that /do/ have ethernet22:23
* kblin nods22:23
Martynone even has a USB->SATA bridge22:23
kblinas I said, this one is a proof of concept22:24
kblinI'm sure if someone wants to turn this into a product, they'll bring the embedded know-how to build a system with the correct specs22:24
kblinI just want to go to a storage conference showing off that opensource can run an active directory domain controller with 2 Watts22:25
broonieYou want to redo the old ARM demo and arrange to power it with the waste heat from a PC. :)22:26
kblinhehe22:26
kblinI'm not sure if a stirling engine-type generator won't look too much like a bomb on X-ray :)22:30
suihkulokkikblin: if you want decent headless network server, you should look at something like the sheevaplug22:32
kblinsuihkulokki: yeah, planning to22:39
kblinsuihkulokki: I'm currently looking for a way to get shipping to be less than 70% of the unit costs22:41
