| persia | rsalveti, Still about? | 00:42 |
|---|---|---|
| persia | rsalveti, I'd like to catch you sometime to talk about TFTP. | 00:43 |
| persia | (could be tomorrow if I'm too late today) | 00:43 |
| === tgall_foo is now known as Dr_Who | ||
| rsalveti | persia: sure, paste your questions :-) | 04:12 |
| persia | rsalveti, So we have a spec: https://blueprints.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/other-o-arm-uboot-tftp It doesn't seem to have been fleshed out post-UDS, although I remember you saying that some of the work was landing. | 04:33 |
| rsalveti | persia: yeah, I have another bp that will cover this one | 04:33 |
| persia | Does this spec need to be filled out with stuff to do? Is it already done? | 04:33 |
| persia | Ah, cool. | 04:33 |
| persia | What's the other blueprint? | 04:33 |
| rsalveti | persia: https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/linaro-platforms-o-uboot-new-features | 04:34 |
| rsalveti | but it is still missing some bits | 04:34 |
| rsalveti | I plan to finish this up until end of this week | 04:34 |
| rsalveti | but the work is being done already, and jcrigby will push a new version this week with tftp support for panda | 04:35 |
| persia | That covers the TFTP case. Unless you object, I'll mark my spec obsolete and reference your more complete one. | 04:35 |
| rsalveti | persia: I was going to do that once I put more details on the other one | 04:35 |
| rsalveti | just need to describe the work that was done already | 04:35 |
| rsalveti | give me a few days and I should do it | 04:36 |
| persia | Ah, OK. In that case I won't do anything at all :) | 04:36 |
| rsalveti | yup :-) | 04:36 |
| persia | Looking at the wider spec: you don't happen to know if u-boot can provide USB storage gadget, do you? | 04:38 |
| Matt_O | good evening, gentlemen | 04:45 |
| rsalveti | Matt_O: hey! :-) | 05:06 |
| rsalveti | Matt_O: want to help us testing the kernel? | 05:06 |
| Matt_O | rsalveti, is it low risk? :) | 05:06 |
| rsalveti | Matt_O: should be :-) | 05:06 |
| Matt_O | I really need my BB operational so I can to dev work on it (and it is right now) | 05:06 |
| Matt_O | but I'd like to help testing also | 05:06 |
| rsalveti | Matt_O: do you have ubuntu running on your xM C already? | 05:06 |
| Matt_O | yep | 05:07 |
| Matt_O | using your kernel in fact | 05:07 |
| rsalveti | Matt_O: so it should behave the same :-) | 05:07 |
| Matt_O | cat /proc/version | 05:07 |
| Matt_O | Linux version 2.6.38-9-omap (root@natty-panda) (gcc version 4.5.2 (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.5.2-8ubuntu4) ) #43xmbc Tue Apr 26 02:54:23 BRT 2011 | 05:07 |
| rsalveti | cool | 05:07 |
| rsalveti | let me check if the kernel was built already | 05:07 |
| rsalveti | Matt_O: yup, just need to install it :-) | 05:09 |
| Matt_O | ok | 05:09 |
| Matt_O | the installer will make backups right? | 05:09 |
| rsalveti | Matt_O: yes | 05:09 |
| Matt_O | ok | 05:09 |
| Matt_O | so what do I do? | 05:09 |
| rsalveti | Matt_O: but please mount the first sd card partition and copy the files as a local backup | 05:10 |
| Matt_O | good idea | 05:10 |
| Matt_O | doing that now | 05:10 |
| rsalveti | Matt_O: add the following lines at your /etc/apt/sources.list: | 05:10 |
| rsalveti | deb http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports natty-proposed main restricted universe multiverse | 05:10 |
| rsalveti | deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu natty-proposed main restricted universe multiverse | 05:10 |
| rsalveti | Matt_O: apt-get update and apt-get install linux-image-omap | 05:11 |
| rsalveti | Matt_O: it should get the version 2.6.38-10.44 | 05:12 |
| Matt_O | ok.. working | 05:12 |
| rsalveti | this is the one with the fix included | 05:12 |
| Matt_O | getting | 05:13 |
| rsalveti | Matt_O: then flash-kernel should run automatically, and that will create a new uImage and new uInitrd | 05:14 |
| rsalveti | and put your older ones as uI*.bak | 05:14 |
| Matt_O | dkms failed for powervr-omap3, installing headers as recommended | 05:16 |
| rsalveti | Matt_O: sure, also install linux-headers-omap | 05:16 |
| rsalveti | that should make it work | 05:17 |
| Matt_O | it's retrying dkms | 05:18 |
| Matt_O | dang this thing is slow :) | 05:18 |
| Matt_O | (probably my sd card) | 05:18 |
| rsalveti | yeah | 05:20 |
| Matt_O | ok well I guess I'm ready to reboot and see what happens | 05:20 |
| rsalveti | Matt_O: cool, good luck :-) | 05:20 |
| Matt_O | phew... I got to the login prompt | 05:21 |
| Matt_O | do you want to see the dmesg dump? | 05:21 |
| rsalveti | Matt_O: yes, please :-) | 05:22 |
| Matt_O | http://home.rulecity.com/browse/dmesg.txt | 05:23 |
| rsalveti | Matt_O: still using the older kernel, guess flash-kernel wasn't pulled automatically | 05:23 |
| rsalveti | just don't know why | 05:24 |
| rsalveti | Matt_O: please call sudo flash-kernel | 05:24 |
| rsalveti | and then reboot again :-) | 05:24 |
| Matt_O | you sure? the old dmesg didn't detect it as a rev C, it detected it as an unknown | 05:24 |
| rsalveti | [ 0.000000] Linux version 2.6.38-9-omap (root@natty-panda) (gcc version 4.5.2 (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.5.2-8ubuntu4) ) #43xmbc Tue Apr 26 02:54:23 BRT 2011 (Ubuntu 2.6.38-9.43xmbc-omap 2.6.38.4) | 05:24 |
| rsalveti | Matt_O: from the kernel id | 05:24 |
| Matt_O | ok.. trying again | 05:24 |
| rsalveti | that's interesting... | 05:25 |
| rsalveti | same kernel and now you got Rev C | 05:25 |
| Matt_O | ok hit refresh | 05:26 |
| Matt_O | looks like it's using the new one now | 05:29 |
| rsalveti | Matt_O: cool, can you paste me your dmesg? | 05:29 |
| Matt_O | it's the same URL | 05:29 |
| Matt_O | just refresh it | 05:29 |
| rsalveti | Matt_O: cool, so it worked as expected :-) | 05:30 |
| Matt_O | yes | 05:30 |
| rsalveti | Matt_O: awesome, can you update the bug report with your results? | 05:30 |
| Matt_O | I am breathing large sighs of relief :) | 05:30 |
| rsalveti | haha :-) | 05:30 |
| Matt_O | update the bug report.. can I just reply to the email thread with a URL? | 05:32 |
| rsalveti | Matt_O: sure, I can then post the needed bits | 05:32 |
| Matt_O | ok done | 05:33 |
| rsalveti | Matt_O: awesome, thanks for helping making ubuntu better! | 05:34 |
| Matt_O | I am more than happy to do that, since I love ubuntu :) | 05:34 |
| Matt_O | (and it is in my best interest to have a solid BB linux install hehe) | 05:34 |
| rsalveti | hehe :-) | 05:34 |
| Matt_O | I've been spending the last 2-3 weeks ripping SDL out of my project because I suspected it was interfering with GLES2 on the BB... I'm finally ready to start up GLES2 dev work again with no SDL this time | 05:35 |
| Matt_O | in fact, I'm pretty sure it was interfering since SDL likely does glx calls and the powervr stuff uses some weird EGL crap | 05:36 |
| rsalveti | oh, got it | 05:37 |
| rsalveti | is it working well with the drivers provided for omap 3? | 05:37 |
| Matt_O | I wrote a "hello triangle" program that works great | 05:37 |
| Matt_O | I did have to manually install the GLES2 headers since I didn't see a package for those | 05:38 |
| Matt_O | but.. I was just thrilled to have it work at all :) | 05:38 |
| rsalveti | cool | 05:38 |
| Matt_O | maybe I will contribute a package to install those headers some day :) | 05:38 |
| Matt_O | that sounded bad.. what I mean is.. I'd love to contribuet a package, I would just ned to learn how to do it first | 05:39 |
| rsalveti | it should be easy to provide the package for the headers, we just didn't do by default because the broken soname for the libs | 05:40 |
| rsalveti | so in the end you have .so and not proper .so.1.7 or something | 05:41 |
| Matt_O | ah | 05:41 |
| Matt_O | proprietary drivers.. :) | 05:41 |
| rsalveti | links doesn't solve the issue because the soname is inside the lib | 05:41 |
| rsalveti | yeah | 05:41 |
| rsalveti | so if you build against the sgx drivers for omap 3 and switch back to mesa, you'll need the mesa-dev packages just to run your application | 05:42 |
| rsalveti | but I believe we should end up and provide the headers | 05:42 |
| rsalveti | lot of people are complaining about it | 05:42 |
| Matt_O | I don't see why anyone would want to use mesa on the BB... unless they just want to get something compiling fast | 05:42 |
| rsalveti | yeah | 05:43 |
| Matt_O | have you seen the issue where the s-video out goes blank after a certain period (like 10 minutes) ? | 05:47 |
| Matt_O | feels like a screensaver is kicking in but I can still access X via VNC just fine | 05:48 |
| rsalveti | could be just the power saving at X side | 05:50 |
| rsalveti | even without screensaver | 05:50 |
| Matt_O | ahhh interesting | 05:50 |

| rsalveti | and we're just starting the Linaro arm porting jam! get at #linaro, get the bug list and help us making ubuntu better on arm :-) | 15:05 |
| NCommander | rsalveti: do you want to take a bug on determining the reset button root cause? | 15:29 |
| ogra_ | gar, who dropped the cross compile link from the topic ? | 15:46 |
| jburkholder42 | hi, I'm looking for a good ubuntu arm target that's affordable | 16:39 |
| jburkholder42 | any suggestions? | 16:39 |
| suihkulokki | beagleboard-xm or pandaboard | 16:40 |
| jburkholder42 | thanks | 16:40 |
| ogra_ | depends on your definition of affordable | 16:40 |
| jburkholder42 | ~$150 :) | 16:40 |
| ogra_ | what suihkulokki said then | 16:40 |
| jburkholder42 | hadn't heard of pandaboard | 16:40 |
| jburkholder42 | oh wow, dual core, nice | 16:41 |
| gildean | or if you want a more complete project, i think the toshiba ac100 is your only choice | 16:50 |
| gildean | more complete in hardware-wise | 16:50 |
| gildean | not software | 16:50 |
| GrueMaster | If you can find them. They were discontinued. | 16:50 |
| ogra_ | and not sold in the us | 16:51 |
| rsalveti | NCommander: yes, as the bug seems to be introduced by your patch | 16:58 |
| jburkholder42 | I'm looking for a board with ethernet and serial port mostly | 16:59 |
| ogra_ | both should work for that | 16:59 |
| ogra_ | ac100 is a netbook (no ethernet) | 16:59 |
| NCommander | rsalveti: well, in theory, I was correctng a bug in FAT filesystems. I'm still kinda scared that having a proper FAT breaks the BootROM :-( | 17:00 |
| jburkholder42 | ac100 looks like a nice little machine, not so good for development.. | 17:01 |
| rsalveti | NCommander: that doesn't surprise me | 17:03 |
| jburkholder42 | ugh | 17:04 |
| NCommander | rsalveti: why not? | 17:05 |
| GrueMaster | What??? A bug in FAT? Say it isn't so. | 17:05 |
| ogra_ | because its TI :) | 17:05 |
| rsalveti | NCommander: because there was a similar issue with omap 3 in the past | 17:05 |
| rsalveti | yeah hehe | 17:06 |
| rsalveti | rom code is not bug free | 17:06 |
| rsalveti | is like any software | 17:06 |
| rsalveti | full of bugs ;-) | 17:06 |
| GrueMaster | Just the opposite. You get free bugs. :P | 17:06 |
| * ogra_ bets rom code is just adapted to x-loader every new HW release | 17:06 | |
| ogra_ | instead of the other way round | 17:06 |
| * GrueMaster bets rom code doesn't change much except for sysboot tables. | 17:06 | |
| jburkholder42 | it probably has to stay bug for bug compatible | 17:08 |
| sveinse | persia, rsalveti: What /is/ the difference between rootstock and qmeu-debootstrap? They produce the same rootfs output, don't they? | 17:48 |
| rsalveti | rootstock sets some other stuff too | 17:51 |
| rsalveti | like create a user, set up oem-config and such | 17:51 |
| sveinse | What happens if I try to boot the rootfs output from debootstrap? | 17:51 |
| rsalveti | should boot, but without any user | 17:53 |
| rsalveti | could also be lacking some other settings | 17:53 |
| sveinse | How is this done in production installation? The install runs debootstrap and then sets up the system, like rootstock does? | 17:54 |
| GrueMaster | Worst case, you heard some tearing/crackling noises and have some giant marshmallow man tapping your shoulder. | 17:55 |
| rsalveti | sveinse: yes, check livecd-rootfs | 17:55 |
| rsalveti | sveinse: but ubuntu is switching for live-build | 17:55 |
| sveinse | It seems we need to find an armel board to run debootstrap native for production | 18:02 |
| sveinse | Any suggestion on an armel board (which is binary compatible (ARMv7a) with OMAP3) which has good storage options, network, and preferably a box in order for it to fit in the server room? | 18:03 |
| GrueMaster | Needs to be omap3? | 18:04 |
| GrueMaster | You can get a beagleXM and a case. check beagleboard.org. | 18:04 |
| sveinse | Hmm, no, guess not. Just needs to be able to run ubuntu armel | 18:04 |
| sveinse | What storage options are there? External USB-SATA bridge? | 18:06 |
| sveinse | What are the Ubuntu farm consisting of? -- mostly in respect of storage | 18:07 |
| GrueMaster | The new panda farm will be using usb<>sata with 160G drives. | 18:08 |
| GrueMaster | We will use a small (~30G) partition for the chroot environment. faster read/write times. | 18:09 |
| GrueMaster | The existing systems are mostly babbage3 boards but they are flakey and are being replaced by the panda farm. | 18:09 |
| GrueMaster | There are also some beaglexm systems. | 18:09 |
| sveinse | The pandaboard should be better for building than beaglexm, shouldn't it? | 18:10 |
| GrueMaster | dual core, but other than that, not much better. | 18:10 |
| sveinse | I mean, the panda runs ubuntu just as well, doesn't it? | 18:10 |
| GrueMaster | Yes. Same image just different kernel. | 18:10 |
| sveinse | So, the IO performance is just about the same? | 18:11 |
| GrueMaster | yes. | 18:11 |
| GrueMaster | I think someone mentioned 24M/s throughput on usb. Haven't personally benchmarked it yet. | 18:11 |
| sveinse | I guess it will be, since USB2.0 is the slowest link in a USB-SATA setting | 18:11 |
| GrueMaster | I could be wrong. | 18:12 |
| GrueMaster | But much faster than SD. | 18:12 |
| sveinse | Well, the panda has twice the memory | 18:12 |
| GrueMaster | I am also working on a boot method for Panda to pull from the gadget port from a host pc. No SD needed. | 18:13 |
| jburkholder42 | neat | 18:13 |
| suihkulokki | how does one request rebuilds of packages that failed last time due to build-dep issues | 18:14 |
| sveinse | GrueMaster: gadget port is the linux kernel term for USB OTG, right? | 18:14 |
| GrueMaster | yes. The mini port on the panda. Should also work on the beagle/beagle XM. | 18:15 |
| sveinse | Use the HW bootloader to load firmware to the panda? | 18:15 |
| GrueMaster | yes. By default the sysboot is hardwired to 1. usb 2. mmc0 | 18:19 |
| GrueMaster | For usb to work, it waits for a host to send it a second stage bootloader. Then the second stage bootloader can boot a binary blob from there (u-boot, kernel+initrd, etc). | 18:20 |
| sveinse | We planned on using usb that way for product recovery, but since we need to support the host-side drivers. We just swap sdcards instead | 18:21 |
| GrueMaster | For details on our buildd farm, check out http://dmtechtalk.wordpress.com/. For the usbboot loader, check out https://github.com/swetland/omap4boot. | 18:21 |
| sveinse | thanks | 18:21 |
| GrueMaster | For my test pool, I plan on pushing a kernel blob that will flash the sd card & reboot. Then it can boot from sd and I can do testing from there. | 18:22 |
| sveinse | GrueMaster: Is it your project to build the physical farm? | 18:23 |
| GrueMaster | No. That was my manager's project. He just sent the first one. | 18:23 |
| sveinse | nice project! | 18:23 |
| GrueMaster | I am writing the software to control the power relays via serial port & download the images through the otg port. | 18:24 |
| sveinse | I'd have a easier job selling native buildfarm to the IT dept if such were available in 19" rack... :D | 18:24 |
| GrueMaster | The case is a 4u. | 18:25 |
| sveinse | yeah, so I see | 18:25 |
| GrueMaster | Problem he ran into was too many wires. Probably could have had a custom wiring harness for the usb cables, but oh well. | 18:25 |
| sveinse | Today we are basing it on cross compile on a intel PC. And everyone here in this channel is twitching when I mention that! | 18:26 |
| GrueMaster | Yea. Too much can fail. | 18:26 |
| sveinse | Wiring (electrical, building installation, network racks) are a craft that must be learned | 18:26 |
| GrueMaster | Personally, I don't care how it is built. I just complain loudly when it breaks. :P | 18:26 |
| GrueMaster | (software I mean) | 18:27 |
| GrueMaster | Yea, the rack stuff can get hard. I designed a rack cabinet for high density cpu validation using desktop boards when I was at Intel. | 18:27 |
| GrueMaster | Held 16 boards on 8 shelves. Each shelf had 2 aluminum plates with holes for mounting every MB standard available at the time. ITX, ATX, BTX, WTX, Server... | 18:29 |
| GrueMaster | Even had remote temperature monitoring so systems could be shut down. Helped during Prescott (P4 x86_64) testing. That processor was hot. | 18:30 |
| sveinse | GrueMaster: You're EE? | 18:48 |
| GrueMaster | Pfft. no. | 18:48 |
| GrueMaster | Used to be a combat engineer in the army though. | 18:49 |
| sveinse | Anyone happens to know how long time it takes to build qt4-x11 on the ubuntu build farm? (beagleboards?) | 18:54 |
| GrueMaster | Easiest way to find out is to lookup on launchpad.net. search for the package and go from there. here's the natty updated version: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/qt4-x11/4:4.7.2-0ubuntu6.1/+build/2458577 | 18:56 |
| GrueMaster | The buildd names that ends with ceae are all beaglexm. | 18:56 |
| sveinse | I'm trying to benchmark (crudely) the performance of running a native buildfarm vs. using cross compilation | 18:57 |
| jburkholder42 | took 1 day, 15 hours, 13 minutes, 48.2 seconds | 18:57 |
| jburkholder42 | I was going to say 2 days | 18:57 |
| GrueMaster | iirc, it uses a lot of swap space. | 18:57 |
| GrueMaster | Here's the link to the build farm. https://launchpad.net/builders/ | 18:58 |
| MrBIOS-seamicro | hey guys | 18:59 |
| === MrBIOS-seamicro is now known as MrBIOS | ||
| GrueMaster | In the next couple of weeks we should have almost a dozen pandas added. | 18:59 |
| sveinse | whoa... 39 hrs.. That's a bit | 18:59 |
| GrueMaster | More later in the cycle. | 18:59 |
| GrueMaster | Yea, not pretty. | 18:59 |
| sveinse | swapping, means that memory is congested. the pandas ought to remedy that -- at least it helps | 19:00 |
| MrBIOS | I'm doing some testing of Apache performance on a 1.2GHz n ARMv11 board and am seeing an off request/sec wall of 260rps, even serving static content over 40kB in size | 19:00 |
| GrueMaster | MrBIOS: What do you see on an armv7a system? | 19:00 |
| GrueMaster | (we don't support older models - sorry). | 19:01 |

| jburkholder42 | hmm, digikey has no delivery date available for panda boards | 19:59 |
| GrueMaster | Heh. Not unusual. | 20:01 |
| jburkholder42 | where are you getting your boards? | 20:02 |
| GrueMaster | Some I got from TI (prerelease), some from digikey. I have one coming from the other source on pandaboard.org. | 20:06 |
| GrueMaster | Not sure where the boards for the server farm came from. May have been digikey. | 20:06 |
| jburkholder42 | I'm in canada so digikey is good, guess I'll wait | 20:07 |
| GrueMaster | Canada, eh? Where abouts? | 20:15 |
| prpplague | jburkholder42: if you order from digikey right now, shipping time should be less than two weeks | 20:17 |
| prpplague | jburkholder42: don't wait for them to be in stock | 20:18 |
| jburkholder42 | GrueMaster: Bancroft | 20:18 |
| jburkholder42 | prpplague: ok thanks | 20:18 |
| jburkholder42 | GrueMaster: middle of nowhere ontario | 20:18 |
| GrueMaster | Ah. But at least you have bandwidth. | 20:19 |
| prpplague | jburkholder42: we generally ship 300 to 500 units per week to digikey, however we had a short supply problem about 3 weeks ago that go use behind | 20:19 |
| prpplague | jburkholder42: so if you order now, you most likely will get it in 10 to 14 days | 20:19 |
| jburkholder42 | GrueMaster: indeed, pretty good high speed up here | 20:19 |
| jburkholder42 | prpplague: cool, thanks for the info | 20:19 |
| GrueMaster | prpplague: Any news on bamboo? Or at least a pandaboard case? | 20:19 |
| prpplague | GrueMaster: still trying to work out a few details with the chinese company doing the tool | 20:20 |
| prpplague | GrueMaster: pcb is done | 20:20 |
| prpplague | GrueMaster: case design is done | 20:20 |
| GrueMaster | cool | 20:20 |
| prpplague | GrueMaster: just getting the actual abs parts is the issue now | 20:20 |
| prpplague | GrueMaster: that an my poor bank account crying at the expense | 20:20 |
| GrueMaster | ouch. | 20:20 |
| * prpplague hopes he will turn a profit | 20:21 | |
| prpplague | GrueMaster: i can send you a FDM for you to use for now if you want | 20:21 |
| GrueMaster | Sure. | 20:22 |
| prpplague | GrueMaster: it's no where near as strong as the abs case, but you can use it for now | 20:22 |
| prpplague | GrueMaster: i had hoped that we could find a company in the US to do the tool but the US companies were outrageously expensive | 20:23 |
| GrueMaster | Will it be clear acrylic? | 20:24 |
| prpplague | GrueMaster: you mean the production case? | 20:26 |
| GrueMaster | yes | 20:26 |
| prpplague | GrueMaster: no, it will be black matte abs plastic | 20:27 |
| GrueMaster | Hmm. Still good for making a settop box. | 20:27 |
| prpplague | GrueMaster: you've seen the latest renedering right? | 20:27 |
| GrueMaster | Not sure. Last one I saw was a few months ago. | 20:28 |
| prpplague | GrueMaster: you have acroread installed on your system? | 20:28 |
| GrueMaster | Of course. | 20:28 |
| prpplague | GrueMaster: /msg me you email address | 20:28 |
