ChinnoDogI won an auction on eBay, paid for it, received it, and /then/ eBay cancelled the aucion. What is the sense in that?06:09

mikedep334hey guys, I want to benchmark the time to compile the 2.6.38 vanilla kernel on my efika mx (arm nettop) once I extract it, isn't there an option I can use to not compile every single module or whatever?22:35
mikedep334 I found online for 1 cpu: # yes "" | make config # time make -j222:36
ChinnoDogmikedep334: If you are just trying to benchmark your nettop you can use the Phoronix test suite.22:53
ChinnoDogI made some lovely graphics when benchmarking my hard disk configuration on my desktop. I should have posted them.22:53
ChinnoDogs/graphics/graphs22:53
ChinnoDogI showed that 2x10krpm hard disks is faster on btrfs than 2x10k + 1x72k. btrfs apparently doesn't take the latency difference into account as well as it could.22:54
mikedep334ChinnoDog: I'm not certain, but I'd bet the phoronix test suite won't run completely on this armel machine.22:54
mikedep334it only does OpenGL ES for example22:55
ChinnoDogOh. I've never tried to run it on architectures other than x8622:55
ChinnoDogx86/x6422:55
mikedep334ChinnoDog: yeah, this is very different beast.22:57

ChinnoDogoops23:01
ChinnoDogsorry. I always forget right click pastes in PuTTY23:01
mikedep334ChinnoDog: and my "open link in browser" option doesn't work for me in PChat on WIn723:01
ChinnoDogYea. I think there is a way to fix link recognition in PuTTY but I've been too lazy to do it23:03
ChinnoDogIs that the cheapest of the current wave of ARM netbooks?23:03
ChinnoDogmikedep334: I can not find a page showing all Ubuntu based arm netbooks. How did you find that?23:09
mikedep334ChinnoDog: they're very rare23:18
mikedep334and beta-ish23:18
mikedep334http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&q=sharp+netwalker23:19
PennBotTitle: sharp netwalker - Google Search (at www.google.com)23:19
mikedep334the sharp netwalker is 5", but has the same SoC as the Efika MX SmartTop & Smartbook23:19
mikedep334the SoC is the Freescale i.MX515, with an 800 Mhz ARM Cortex A8 CPU Core23:20
mikedep334it's instruction set it ARMv723:20
mikedep334(ARM11 CPUs are ARMv6 instructions, ARM9 CPUs are ARMv5 instructions)23:20
mikedep334I'm not sure why, but debian/ubuntu always use "armel" packages; not sure how they relate to those ARMv* revisions23:21
mikedep334"arm" was the old instruction set used by debian23:21
mikedep334there was another company releasing a smartbook with the same CPU/SoC recently, I think it was more expensive23:22
mikedep334now a bunch of Tegra 2 (Tegra 250) smartbooks (ARM netbooks) are coming out; I've only seen them running ANDROID23:23
mikedep334smartbooks have been largely shelved for a year now because manufacturers are focusing on tablets23:23
mikedep334this a prominent tegra 250 ANDROID smartbook23:24

PennBotTitle: Toshiba AC100 smartbook gets Android 2.2 upgrade -- Engadget (at www.engadget.com)23:24
mikedep334there's also lots of cheap/generic chinese designs, but they seem to all have pitifully slow ARM9/ARM11 CPUs, even at 1 ghz, an ARM11 isn't really good enough for Ubuntu23:25
mikedep334ChinnoDog: also, keep in mind, there is almost no standardization to ARM hardware yet (Linaro, an Ubuntu-sponsored project), is working on that23:26
mikedep334so you need specific images of the OS for different hardware23:26
mikedep334and you can brick your devices often if you flash the flash memory wrong23:27
