| nettolt | has anyone install ubuntu on a pxa270 | 04:24 |
|---|---|---|
| Martyn | you'll have some problems | 04:55 |
| Martyn | the architecture is pre v5 | 04:55 |
| persia | Hrm? I know people have installed jaunty on the Zauri, which are mostly pxa26x | 04:56 |
| Martyn | right | 04:56 |
| Martyn | v5's | 04:56 |
| Martyn | 250's though, I'm not so sure of | 04:56 |
| Martyn | did we compile for v4? | 04:56 |
| persia | Never. Biggest difference between debian armel and ubuntu armel | 04:56 |
| Martyn | that's what I thought | 04:57 |
| Martyn | so .. no, you can't get jaunty working on the pxa250 | 04:57 |
| Martyn | you can on any v5 processor with enough RAM | 04:57 |
| persia | Well, assuming you're willing to play kernel games, sure. | 04:59 |
| Martyn | yep | 05:13 |
| Martyn | well, if it's not a babbage, you have to play kernel games | 05:13 |
| Martyn | for now at least | 05:13 |
| persia | Well, there's versatile. | 05:17 |
| amitk | ogra: thanks for the new toy ;) | 10:06 |
| amitk | ogra: what kernel have you flashed on the SD card? It shows 2.6.28. | 10:07 |
| ogra | did i leave the SD in ? | 10:11 |
| ogra | its the binary from the vendor | 10:12 |
| ogra | good to hear it safely arrived :) | 10:12 |
| ogra | amitk, btw: https://www.genesi-usa.com/store/details/4 | 10:12 |
| ogra | :) | 10:12 |
| amitk | ogra: I've seen that somewhere ;) | 10:14 |
| amitk | ogra: root login password? | 10:20 |
| lool | amitk: How is stuff going with the imx51 kernel? You just got B2 now IIUC | 12:07 |
| ogra | he is trying to crack my password on the SD i left in the board ... | 12:07 |
| ogra | probably to busy for kernel work, my personal stuff is more intresting :P | 12:08 |
| ogra | lool, Martyn seems to just port his u-boot to the B2 btw ... it has a full feature set except USB booting | 12:10 |
| lool | I didn't know kernel devs were looking at anything after "init started" :) | 12:10 |
| lool | ogra: But on which board does he have that? | 12:10 |
| lool | The USB and SATA/PATA on the imx51 SoC need new drivers | 12:10 |
| lool | (in Uboot) | 12:10 |
| ogra | currently on a PBX board and i think a B1 ... he said he gets the B2 from his colleague today to port to it | 12:10 |
| lool | Is PBX mx51 based? | 12:11 |
| ogra | no | 12:11 |
| ogra | cortex-a9 | 12:11 |
| ogra | MP board | 12:11 |
| amitk | lool: yeah, just got the board and debugging the .31 kernel on it | 12:13 |
| lool | ogra: So I don't think it really relates | 12:14 |
| ogra | lool, well, he listed the feature and said it would have the same on the B2 if he's done | 12:14 |
| ogra | *features | 12:15 |
| ogra | he also said it would be trivial to backport it from the -a9 ot imx | 12:15 |
| ogra | i can just state what he said... i'm not judging :) | 12:15 |
| lool | We will see, but if it was hard for FSL it should be hard for him too :) | 12:17 |
| ogra | yeah, lets see | 12:20 |
| ogra | but if we would get something that works before A3 i wouldnt mind to add it | 12:20 |
| NCommander | lool, well, u-boot uses the kernel driver API; quite a few drivers are copy and paste | 13:31 |
| NCommander | (from when I browsed the u-boot source code) | 13:31 |
| NCommander | (its similiar to how GNU Hurd uses linux device drivers, except they use a 2.2 based API) | 13:32 |
| NCommander | ^- ogra | 13:33 |
| amitk | u-boot would be nice indeed | 13:33 |
| NCommander | The only issue with u-boot ATM is that is doesn't compile with GCC 4.4 | 13:33 |
| ogra | so lets see how far martyn gets | 13:34 |
| amitk | lets all send Martyn his favourite bag/box of caffeine ;) | 13:35 |
| ogra | yeah :) | 13:35 |
| NCommander | \o/ | 13:35 |
| NCommander | ^- to caffienated goodness | 13:35 |
| NCommander | From what I've seen, getting u-boot up on a new board is pretty simple; you need to write an initialize stub, at least a serial port stub, and a few other stub functions. For the pxa series boards, its a bit over 1000 LoC | 13:39 |
