| napster | Can I use ubuntu on http://www.hawkboard.org/ ? | 12:04 |
|---|---|---|
| ogra | napster, thats ARM9 so i fear only jaunty will work on it (if you have a kernel and bootloader, see the RootfsFromScratch wikipage) | 12:06 |
| napster | ogra, I've karmic koala. I'm new to embedded linux. Can you spare a few moments for me? | 12:07 |
| ogra | well, ubuntu essentially doesnt do anything in the embedded area (yet) | 12:07 |
| ogra | the armel port is like any other ubuntu | 12:07 |
| napster | ogra, You know the hawkboard? | 12:08 |
| ogra | nope | 12:08 |
| ogra | but i looked at the tech specs on the page you pointed me to | 12:08 |
| napster | ogra, OK, Can I ask you a few question? | 12:09 |
| ogra | sure | 12:09 |
| ogra | http://blog.binaerwelt.com/2010/02/ubuntu-on-the-hawkboard/ seems to have a guide for ubuntu on that device btw | 12:10 |
| napster | Can I install the arm port on a USB stick and boot from it? | 12:10 |
| napster | ogra, I already read it :( | 12:10 |
| ogra | sure | 12:11 |
| ogra | make sure your kernel commandline points to the USB key | 12:11 |
| ogra | you will likely need to have kernel and uboot on SD | 12:12 |
| napster | ogra, Sd card? | 12:12 |
| ogra | well, or whatever else the board boots from | 12:12 |
| ogra | usually such boards support booting from SD so bootloader and kernel live on the card | 12:12 |
| napster | Can I install it to a USB card, from my laptop? | 12:13 |
| ogra | with rootstock you can extract the tarball to usb from any machine you like :) | 12:14 |
| napster | ogra, Do I need any extra softwares for the purpose? | 12:14 |
| ogra | your first step should be to find out how exactly your bopard boots though ... i.e. where do kernel and bootloader live | 12:14 |
| napster | ogra, OK | 12:15 |
| ogra | apart from rootstock and a machine that knows how to extract a tarball to a USB key you shouldnt need anything else | 12:15 |
| ogra | probably a serial port to access the bootloader | 12:15 |
| napster | ogra, ok | 12:16 |
| napster | ogra, I'll update you soon about it. Where are you from? | 12:16 |
| ogra | gernamy | 12:17 |
| ogra | heh | 12:17 |
| ogra | germany | 12:17 |
| napster | I need your help anyway. Can you? | 12:17 |
| ogra | just ask your questions here if you have any | 12:17 |
| napster | Hope you will be here... Thanks for your help... :) | 12:17 |
| * ogra is here all day during european business hours | 12:18 | |
| napster | ;) | 12:18 |
| ogra | i.e. likely for another 3-4h today | 12:18 |
| napster | ok | 12:18 |
| ogra | bah | 13:15 |
| ogra | suddenly installing the netbook task works in qemu but still fails in rootstock | 13:15 |
| * ogra sighs ... i'm running out of ideas how to debug that | 13:15 | |

| Martyn | Do we have a system image from one of the buildd's? | 18:11 |
| Martyn | ojn: Are you back in Austin? | 18:11 |
| ojn | Martyn: I am. Should I swing by tomorrow? | 18:17 |
| Martyn | I could use the debug cable, yeah. Want to come to the austin hackerspace movie night? | 18:18 |
| Martyn | www.austinhackerspace.org/events | 18:18 |
| ojn | Sorry, today/tonight isn't a good match for me. And that seems to be all the way down in south austin. :) | 18:22 |
| Martyn | The movie night -is- tomorrow | 18:28 |
| Martyn | 7pm-midnight :) | 18:28 |
| Martyn | I'm also poking around here in the North today though. Maybe meet up after work? | 18:28 |
| |nfecteD | anyone have any idea why im not getting any picture or sound in snes9x-gtk on my beagleboard? | 19:48 |
| |nfecteD | It loads the rom and the CPU usage goes to 100% but it just sits there | 19:48 |
| |nfecteD | i can load another rom and configure stuff so it doesn't lock up | 19:48 |
| |nfecteD | can it be because snes9x-gtk doesn't like/work with 16bit color? | 19:49 |
| Martyn | UGH .. I hate Time Warner sometimes | 19:59 |
| Martyn | Office lost connectivity | 19:59 |
| Martyn | ojn, you still online? | 19:59 |
