smplman i have ubuntu 10.10 running on my beagleboard xm. im trying to configure my lilliput um70 7" usb touchscreen. I have the screen working with the display link drivers, but i cant get the touchscreen to work.01:48
smplmani have looked through the input devices, but i cant find any for the usb touchscreen. I did find an event for the power button on the monitor.01:49
xerebzi'm trying to get out audio to come out of the beagle04:36
xerebzi tested powered speakers on the same file on a fresh mplayer install on my laptop and it was fine04:36
xerebzi used the speakers on the bb04:36
xerebzrunning the same file and mplayer but there's no sound04:37
xerebzwhat are some of the things i can check to see what's wrong?04:37
xerebzbtw mplayer acts the exact same it looks like it's playing i just can't hear anything04:37
hrwmorning08:24
persiahrw, You had a flash-kernel fix for the efikas: have you tested that with linux-linaro-imx51?  Does it work?  Has it been applied to natty?08:35
hrwpersia: merging flash-kernel is still on ogra's todolist08:49
hrwpersia: and I did not tested it with other kernels then own ones (or genesi one)08:50
persiaWhere is your branch/bug?08:50
hrwbug 67102708:51
ubot2Launchpad bug 671027 in flash-kernel "Add Efika MX Smartbook/Smarttop support" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/67102708:51
persiaThanks.08:57
persiaWhat is expected to create /boot/boot.script?08:57
persiaAlso, this looks like it wouldn't work for a bare install (where /boot/uImage and /boot/uInitrd don't exist yet)08:57
loolhrw: i see you're adding efikamx support in your patch as well; did you test that successfully?08:58
hrwlool: no, but genesi version had same code for both09:00
hrwlool: it is cleaned version of their code09:00
loolOk09:00
hrwpersia: I had /boot/boot.script on my system, similar one I have on panda/ubuntu. where from it came? no idea09:01
hrwpersia: and this code is not perfect but works for me. there were no comments on improving code anyway09:02
persiaWe'll need something to create it, if we expect it to be there.  Obviously, if it's already there, fine, but consider the case where someone wants to completely reinstall.09:02
persiaAlso, why comment out check_subarch?09:02
* persia is currently trying to provide comments on code09:02
hrwpersia: let me boot efika to check at original code09:03
persiaThanks.  If you're busy with something else, feel free to tell me to ask about this another time :)09:03
hrwpersia: add comments to the bug - this will maybe take genesi guys to react too09:04
hrw*** /dev/sda2 will be checked for errors at next reboot ***09:04
hrwI need to track down script which says that and kill it09:04
hrwpersia: looks like 'check_subarch' checks does machine runs proper flavour of debian/ubuntu kernel. if this is right then it has no use on efika so far as it runs only unofficial kernels (at least with ubuntu)09:06
hrwwhole flash-kernel script is full of copy/paste code ;(09:07
hrwefikamx_flash_kernel() is more or less based on code for dove09:09
persiahrw, The efika can boot with linux-linaro-imx51, so we should expect that.  That's perfectly official.09:13
persialool, hrw: would you mind attaching /proc/cpu for each of the MX and Sb to bug #718615?  Needs samples to match against the kernel selector.  Thanks!09:23
ubot2Launchpad bug 718615 in base-installer "Please add support for linux-linaro-imx51 on efika MX and efika SB" [Undecided,Incomplete] https://launchpad.net/bugs/71861509:23
loolpersia: I'm not a fan of subarch detection; we're trying to build a common kernel with support for more than one SoC, so uname -r wont mean much anymore09:29
hrwpersia: I have efikasb only09:30
hrwadded09:30
loolpersia: cpuinfo > will add when I get the chance to boot it09:31
hrwpersia: efikamx can be taken from flash-kernel patch ;d09:31
persiahrw, I need the *complete* cpuinfo, for the base-installer test suite.09:31
hrwlool: subarch is used in many places other then just scripts like flash-kernel09:31
persialool, Thanks.  no huge rush.09:31
hrwpersia: mkey09:31
persiaI suspect that the MX looks almost identical to the SB, but want to be careful so that I don't break MX folks.09:32
persia(especially because right now, MX works and SB doesn't, with the in-archive kernel)09:32
hrwdefine 'works' probably09:33
* hrw -> breakfast09:36
persiaThe information I have is that linaro-linux-imx51 boots successfully on the MX.  I'm following upstream, and will prepare a queue of other things to get merged just after the update to 2.6.38-rc5, which *should* support SB as well.09:37
loolhrw: Where is it used?09:57
loolhrw: There is another subarch concept in d-i, which I believe is computed differently (from cpuinfo, not uname -r)09:57

persiaCool.  Thanks.12:13
persialool, hrw got steev to submit the cpuinfo: no need for you to hunt it up later.12:14
hrwsteev has to2 and to3 efikamx so extra info were given too12:14
loolpersia: thanks12:21
ograyou would need to extend archdetect to make use of the actual revision info, currently all detection is based on the Hardware: line12:28
davidmg'day persia you are around quite late today12:29
persiadavidm, DMB meeting today.12:30
persiaogra, I'm going to pretend to not care, unless you see some reason why it's important to distinguish the T02 from T03 devices.12:31
ograi dont think it is12:32
ograjust noted that the different cpuinfos wont gain you much there12:32
hrwthe only difference is neon in to3 and noneon in to2 - but thats handled by kernel to not give neon cpuflag for to212:33
persiaAnyway, I'll toss them into the test cases.  Doesn't matter.12:35
xerebzdoes anyone have a quick link to how to fix the no audio issue for beagleboard xms?12:35
rcn-eexerebz, http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~beagleboard-kernel/+junk/2.6-stable/view/head:/patches/beagle/0001-xM-audio-fix-from-Ashok.patch seems to work for me..12:40

JYROreally?  :(17:21
JYROok.. in my laptop I have a 10.10 ubuntu version.....17:22
JYROHow I can install the arm toolchain?17:22
JYROI have my laptop at my side17:22
hrwon 10.10: apt-get install gcc-arm-linux-gnueabi17:22
ogra see the channel topic17:23

hrwsubstiture gcc with g++ gobjc gfortran if want other langs17:23
JYROthis install get the utilbins too?17:24
hrwwhich utilbins?17:24
JYROI need to compile a kernel for a ARM target.... just I need the toolchain?17:25
hrwyou may need uboot-mkimage package too17:27
prpplagueJYRO: if all you need is just a toolchain, you can try getting the codesourcery packages17:27
prpplagueJYRO: http://omapedia.org/wiki/Android:_Configuring_the_Host_PC#ARM_Cross_Compiler17:28
hrwprpplague: since 10.10 ubuntu contains cross toolchain17:29
prpplaguehrw: ahh17:29
hrwprpplague: took me some time to make them ;D17:29
JYROI'm using a M-501 development kit....  in this moment I learn how to compile a kernel for a target.... then I would try probe a example module ....17:30
JYROhrw... I try use the apt-get command and the system said that it can't found the gcc-arm-linux-gnueabi packet17:33
JYROhrw... I'm sorry... but my ubuntu version is karmic ....17:36
JYROis it the reason why I can't install the arm toolchain?17:37
hrwlike I said - you need at least 10.04 (lucid)17:37
JYROI'm sorry for that....17:38
hrwno need to17:39
JYROhrw another question...  I find this page17:40
JYROhttp://www.gnuarm.com/17:40
JYROcan I install this toolchain??17:41
hrwbetter go to http://emdebian.org or to code sourcery labs17:41
hrwI would avoid anything under gcc 4.3.317:41
hrwwhich is old too17:41
JYROwho is the last gcc version??17:42
hrw4.5.217:42
* hrw ends a day17:43
JYROhrw... a last question...17:43
hrwgo17:43
JYROcan I install debian packets in ubuntu?? I'm sorry for this question, but I newbie :$17:44
hrwI would not suggest it for a newbie.17:45
JYROcan I crash my system if I can't install it correctly??17:46

JYROsomeone knows how I can get the public key from http://emdebian.org??18:10
LetoThe2ndJYRO: i guess you're here... and therefore, i suggest to start reading - at the top.18:14
LetoThe2ndhttp://www.emdebian.org/crosstools.html18:15
LetoThe2ndJYRO: there's a topic "secure apt"...18:15
JYROLetoThe2nd... thanks for that... I read this link now18:16
LetoThe2ndJYRO: i've seen that the documentation for your specific development board is outdated and rather crappy... but in general, reading is a _very_ good idea if you want to get into arm/embedded/kernel stuff :-)18:17
LetoThe2ndJYRO: BTW - your target is not able to run ubuntu, if that's what you're heading for.18:19
JYROLetoThe2nd...  I tell you that I need....18:20
JYROI have a M-501 target, is a development kit for a ARM91 SoC....18:21
LetoThe2ndJYRO: i know. you told us, and i looked it up.18:21
JYROok... :$18:22
JYROin this machine... I have the 3.3.2 version for arm-linux toolchain.... that's very old....18:23
LetoThe2ndJYRO: and to get you nomenclature right: it's not an "arm91" development kit, it an "arm9" platform, and in that one in the at91 family incarnation myde by atmel.18:23
LetoThe2ndJYRO: i know, you told us.18:23
JYROok LetoThe2nd...  thanks18:24
LetoThe2ndJYRO: but because you are asking in the #ubuntu-arm channel, there is the possibility that you might be aiming to run ubuntu on that target. and that is not possible.18:24
JYROI know it, I don't need to run ubuntu in this target... just I need to run the 2.6 kernel linux18:26
JYROam I in the wrong place?18:26
GrueMasterHow is the natty-server-armel+dove.img even building?  I thought the dove kernel was removed from natty?18:27
GrueMasterJYRO: Unfortunately, yes.  This channel is specifically for developers discussing current ubuntu builds on current arm hardware.18:29
LetoThe2ndJYRO: a bit, yes :-) it's not much of a problem, but mainly this channel is about running ubuntu on arms, not about making arms work using ubuntu as the development platform.18:29
GrueMasterTry #debian-arm on OFTC network.18:29
LetoThe2ndJYRO: you maybe want to checkout elinux.org and see if they have an IRC channel. or if you have decided which toolchain to use, head for their channel.18:29
LetoThe2ndJYRO: specifically: http://elinux.org/Toolchains18:31
JYROLetoThe2nd: thank you very much....18:31

=== zul_ is now known as zul
ograprpplague, there is a guy in the #ac100 channel hacking on getting the overlay filesystem from linux4tegra to work on it, beyond that not much, without nvidias help it will always be hackish and unstable20:10
prpplagueogra: ahh20:10
ogralook for "phh" in the channel if you want more details20:10
ograi dont touch the L4T crap20:11

ograk20:11
ogra:)20:11
prpplagueogra: there were some conversation threads on some of the hardware channels about doing open source laptop/netbook design20:11
ograheh, i doubt nvidia will ever get to that20:11
ograthey are nvidia after all20:12
prpplagueogra: sorry, the conversation turned to asking if ubuntu was available for any arm based netbook20:12
ograah, ok20:12
ograyes, indeed, the image is publically available20:12
prpplagueahh dandy20:13
* prpplague would love to do a omap4 netbook if only he could get the chips20:13
ograeither in my plain version that doesnt use any nvidia bits and thus has no features or in phh's version that has all features but is neither upgradeable nor stable20:13
ograi heard it slowly gets better wrt chips20:14
