[04:24] <nettolt> has anyone install ubuntu on a pxa270
[04:55] <Martyn> you'll have some problems
[04:55] <Martyn> the architecture is pre v5
[04:56] <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
[04:57] <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
[04:59] <persia> Well, assuming you're willing to play kernel games, sure.
[05:13] <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
[05:17] <persia> Well, there's versatile.
[10:06] <amitk> ogra: thanks for the new toy ;)
[10:07] <amitk> ogra: what kernel have you flashed on the SD card? It shows 2.6.28.
[10:11] <ogra> did i leave the SD in ?
[10:12] <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> :)
[10:14] <amitk> ogra: I've seen that somewhere ;)
[10:20] <amitk> ogra: root login password?
[12:07] <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 ...
[12:08] <ogra> probably to busy for kernel work, my personal stuff is more intresting :P
[12:10] <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
[12:11] <lool> Is PBX mx51 based?
[12:11] <ogra> no
[12:11] <ogra> cortex-a9
[12:11] <ogra> MP board
[12:13] <amitk> lool: yeah, just got the board and debugging the .31 kernel on it
[12:14] <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
[12:15] <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 :)
[12:17] <lool> We will see, but if it was hard for FSL it should be hard for him too  :)
[12:20] <ogra> yeah, lets see
[12:20] <ogra> but if we would get something that works before A3 i wouldnt mind to add it
[13:31] <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)
[13:32] <NCommander> (its similiar to how GNU Hurd uses linux device drivers, except they use a 2.2 based API)
[13:33] <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
[13:34] <ogra> so lets see how far martyn gets
[13:35] <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
[13:39] <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
