| brokencodes | ok, so me asking again, how do i get a login prompt in ubuntu maveric (--seed build-essential, git, automake) in qemu-system-arm? | 00:03 |
|---|---|---|
| brokencodes | should I be attempting an ssh conection, or could I use the qemu console instead? | 00:04 |
| brokencodes | I don't understand why the login prompt never shown in the qemu console... | 00:04 |
| tmzt | what are you trying to do? | 00:05 |
| brokencodes | get to where it asks login: < insert blinky cursor here | 00:06 |
| tmzt | an? | 00:06 |
| tmzt | no, why are you booting the image in qemu, just looking for some context | 00:07 |
| brokencodes | and type in the username, then the password, then use qemu, as if I were actually using an arm board, | 00:07 |
| tmzt | okay | 00:07 |
| tmzt | you have to have a kernel that matches the machine you select with -M ? in qemu | 00:07 |
| brokencodes | because my RV926 board has an issue, where it doesn't function, probably related to the hole in the center | 00:07 |
| brokencodes | es | 00:07 |
| brokencodes | yes | 00:07 |
| brokencodes | I get way past the kernel loading | 00:08 |
| brokencodes | i used rootstock, to build ubuntu maverick, --seed build-essential, automake | 00:10 |
| brokencodes | last line to come up in qemu console, is init:plymouth-log main process (238) terminated with status 1 | 00:11 |
| brokencodes | then cpu usage drops to 0, and qemu-system-arm is then a sleeping process | 00:11 |
| brokencodes | blinky blinky blinky blinky blinky..... | 00:11 |
| brokencodes | qemu started like so... | 00:12 |
| brokencodes | qemu-system-arm -M versatilepb -kernel vmlinuz -hda ubuntu-arm.img -m 256 -append "root=/dev/sda mem=256M ro" -cpu cortex-a9 | 00:13 |
| brokencodes | kernel compiled for arm7l with neon / ThumbEE | 00:13 |
| brokencodes | tmzt, did you catch all that? | 00:14 |
| tmzt | yeah | 00:15 |
| brokencodes | So, should I repeat the question? or am I barking in the wrong tree, at the wrong room? | 00:15 |
| tmzt | hmm | 00:16 |
| tmzt | plymouth doesn't seem to like the fbdev | 00:16 |
| tmzt | and you aren't getting to the getty | 00:16 |
| brokencodes | i would guess so | 00:16 |
| tmzt | first thing to try is init=/bin/sh | 00:16 |
| tmzt | that should work | 00:16 |
| brokencodes | ok | 00:16 |
| brokencodes | brb | 00:16 |
| tmzt | the disable plymouth | 00:16 |
| tmzt | or actually | 00:16 |
| arcaico | hello, "/init: line 61: can't open /r/dev/console: no such file" , Can anyone help-me? | 00:17 |
| tmzt | nosplash noquiet | 00:17 |
| tmzt | what is /r? | 00:17 |
| tmzt | you aren't pivoting correctly | 00:17 |
| tmzt | tmzt@ubuntu:~$ ls -lh /dev/console | 00:17 |
| tmzt | crw------- 1 root root 5, 1 2011-09-17 15:39 /dev/console | 00:17 |
| brokencodes | how to remove plymouth? | 00:18 |
| brokencodes | do I have to reseed, from rootstock? | 00:18 |
| dev_ | thank you tmzt, got my login prompt | 00:53 |

| twb | lilstevie: ./u-boot segfaults both when compiled in Debian armhf chroot, and in the ubuntu armel host environment. I wonder if the problem is that I used dtc from git instead of 1.3.0 release proper? Oh, and strace says it segfaults before doing any syscalls at all | 02:44 |
| lilstevie | how would you know that u-boot segfaults 0.o | 02:51 |
| twb | I mean I run the binary the "make" compils | 03:00 |
| twb | *compiles | 03:00 |
| lilstevie | how are you "running" it, the binary that make compiles is a bootloader, not a userland executable | 03:07 |
| twb | file said it was an ELF executable | 03:08 |
| twb | It also made a u-boot.bin or so, which I presume is the actual bootloader | 03:09 |
| lilstevie | well yeah of course it is an elf | 03:14 |
| lilstevie | then it gets stripped | 03:14 |
| lilstevie | u-boot the elf is the base, which then gets stripped to become u-boot.bin, and what ever moto requirements are to become u-boot.srec | 03:15 |
| twb | oh, ok | 03:16 |
| twb | I am used to extlinux where e.g. there is a program extlinux that helps install the bootloader | 03:16 |
| twb | 18:25 <twb> So now that I have a kernel and a rootfs and u-boot, how do I actually get u-boot onto the device? | 03:24 |
| Martyn | twb : Which device? | 03:29 |
| Martyn | u-boot installs differently onto different hardware | 03:30 |
| twb | Martyn: tf101 | 03:30 |
| Martyn | Asus transformer? | 03:30 |
| twb | yes | 03:30 |
| Martyn | http://androidroot.mobi/technical/asus-eee-pad-transformer-tf101-root-cwm-recovery/ | 03:31 |
| * twb reads | 03:31 | |
| Martyn | To install/reflash the tf101, you need to use it's own recovery tools | 03:31 |
| twb | I'm already using nvflash | 03:31 |
| Martyn | which involves flashing u-boot using MMC | 03:31 |
| twb | http://cyber.com.au/~twb/doc/tf101.txt <– my notes | 03:31 |
| Martyn | This is the other guide you wil need: | 03:32 |
| Martyn | http://technoreview.net/2011/06/asus-transformer-ubuntu.html | 03:32 |
| twb | Note that android is long gone | 03:33 |
| twb | I already have ubuntu booting, but using the crappy asus bootloader | 03:33 |
| Martyn | have you already ported u-boot for the asus transformer? | 03:34 |
| Martyn | I'm not aware of board support for the asus at the moment in u-boot | 03:35 |
| twb | I'm using a fork from muromec to support it | 03:38 |
| Martyn | You may have to jtag it into place | 03:43 |
| Martyn | because I don't know of any generic tool that can flash u-boot into place on the tf101 | 03:44 |
| twb | Hum | 03:44 |
| twb | I know it's possible, at least, lilstevie is using it | 03:44 |
| lilstevie | nvflash | 03:45 |
| twb | lilstevie: do i just write it to the EBT partition? | 03:45 |
| lilstevie | twb, you will need to make a few small edits | 03:46 |
| lilstevie | MBR needs to be at a certain spot | 03:46 |
| lilstevie | and you should edit include/configs/ventana.h to reflect different partition numbers | 03:46 |
| twb | Also where do I tell it to try booting from microsd first? | 03:50 |
| lilstevie | I told you about that | 04:01 |
| lilstevie | one of the limitations with u-boot | 04:01 |
| lilstevie | no microsd | 04:01 |
| twb | Sorry, I must've forgotten | 04:07 |
| twb | SD or USB, then | 04:07 |
| lilstevie | then that is the default action | 04:09 |
| lilstevie | SD/USB/eMMC | 04:10 |
| twb | Good-o | 04:11 |
