BeardedChimpCan anyone recommend a page for building an ubuntu arm-eabi toolchain for cross compiling? Everything I've come across so far has not worked17:23
ojnBeardedChimp: Do you need to build your own? CodeSourcery's compiler works great.17:25
BeardedChimpDo I need to recompile their packages, the tarballs have it listed as IA32 and I'm 6417:31
armin76really? that sucks17:34
ograarmin76, being 64 you mean ?17:36
armin76being 64 and codesourcery's not being 6417:38
amitkBeardedChimp: Try lool's PPA for the cross compilers: https://edge.launchpad.net/~lool/+archive/ppa17:47
BeardedChimpUnfortunately that seems to be mostly karmic im running jaunty17:50
amitkok17:51
armin76upgrade!17:51
BeardedChimpgoing to run the codesourcerys stuff anyway, see if i can force it17:51
ojnBeardedChimp: Just install the compat libraries and you'll be fine17:52
BeardedChimparmin76: Nah for the likes of rootfs etc. I feel better on jaunty atm17:52
ograwell, if you refer to the rootfs script (rootstock), it works twice as fast under karmic :)17:52
SalvadI want to known something about the ARM version of Ubuntu.19:07
SalvadAre the same drivers of X86, for ARM too?19:08
armin76what?19:15
armin76Salvad: which drivers?19:15
SalvadFor example: I want to use a Joystick in a device with Ubuntu for ARM.19:16
SalvadHave one to recompile them in order to work on ARM?19:17
SalvadRecompile the drivers.19:17
armin76you need to recompile everything19:18
SalvadIs easy to recompile the drivers for ARM?19:19
SalvadDoes this distribution works with Nvidia tegra?19:20
armin76woot19:31
armin76Salvad: ARM is not a sub distribution, is an architecture, completely different to x8619:32
SalvadYes, I know that.19:32
armin76Salvad: there's no nvidia hardware on arm19:32
SalvadNvidia Tegra integrates an ARM processor.19:32
armin76but i doubt it can run a linux distro19:33
SalvadWhy not?19:34
armin76well, i'm no expert, but how do you input data? does it have serial or something?19:35
armin76from where do you boot from?19:35
SalvadMmm.19:38
SalvadTegra is a system.19:38
SalvadIt compunds insternal hardware.19:38
Salvad*Internal.19:38
SalvadThe Zune HD uses it for ezample.19:38
Salvad*Example.19:39
armin76looks like i talk too much :P19:39
armin76well, maybe it could19:40
armin76how, no clue19:40
Salvadhttp://www.chw.net/2009/09/nvidia-chrome-os-con-tegra-sera-grito-y-plata/19:42
SalvadAl parecer si va a soportar Linux.19:42
SalvadMmm.19:42
SalvadIs an article written in Spanish.19:43
SalvadIt says that it will support Chome OS.19:43
pwnguinSalvad: i believe that drivers will cross compile in most cases19:43
pwnguinunless they're in arch19:43
SalvadWhat cross compile means?19:44
pwnguinwell, maybe cross compile is the wrong word19:46
pwnguinbuild on multiple architectures19:46
pwnguinfor example, a few years ago i discovered that ARM was capable of using standard pcmcia drivers19:46
SalvadDoes Ubuntu for ARM has great drivers support?20:05
armin76Salvad: it has all the drivers the kernel supports20:09
SalvadMy joystick could possibly run on it so!.20:11
SalvadI am waiting for the ARM netbooks to be on the market.20:12
SalvadI hope a cheap one supports Ubuntu.20:13
SalvadThe will be very light in weight, low energy consuming and fanless maybe.20:14
armin76Salvad: there's one already, always innovating touchbook20:58
SalvadDoes it have a Touch scrren?20:59
Salvad*Screen.20:59
armin76have no clue20:59
Salvad*Has.20:59
SalvadI am waiting for an Asus.21:00
SalvadThat will come in 2010.21:00
SalvadIt will be cheap apparently.21:00
ryuoarmin76, yes it has a touchscreen. i have one right now.23:31
