| scientes | is there something better than this? | 02:26 |
| scientes | i am very interested | 02:26 |
| scientes | i have 2 sheevaplugs but i need some armhf hardware | 02:26 |
| infinity | Define "better". | 02:28 |
| infinity | A PandaES will be faster, but also somewhat less portably self-contained. :P | 02:29 |
| scientes | well yeah | 02:29 |
| scientes | i like the form factor | 02:29 |
| scientes | but i would like 1GB ram | 02:29 |
| scientes | at least | 02:29 |
| infinity | The Pandas have a gig of RAM. | 02:30 |
| infinity | No small dev boards in the current generation will have more than a gig, as much as I wish they all did. | 02:30 |
| infinity | (And I'm not a TI shill or anything, we just happen to support the Panda quite well in Ubuntu) | 02:30 |
| scientes | cause support is mainlined... | 02:31 |
| infinity | If you're happy finding your kernels elsewhere (like Linaro hwpacks), the Snowball and Origen are also decent choices. | 02:31 |
| infinity | Panda support so isn't mainline... | 02:31 |
| infinity | We have a forked kernel tree for omap4. :/ | 02:31 |
| infinity | omap3 is mainline, and we do build beagle kernels from upstream source. | 02:32 |
| scientes | i have no problem compiling my own kernel, but i like it to be up to date with mainline | 02:32 |
| scientes | to some extent | 02:32 |
| * scientes builds his own sheeva kernels without initramfs | 02:32 | |
| scientes | unstead of using debian's kernel---they don't support installing to the 512NAND flash | 02:32 |
| scientes | but i still run debian on it | 02:32 |
| infinity | Don't let me talk you out of an AC100, though. I'm using one right now, and I like it well enough. | 02:35 |
| infinity | It could use more community folk hacking on the kernel, though. | 02:35 |
| infinity | But the 512MB of RAM is a bit of a bummer. | 02:36 |
| scientes | what is lacking on it hardware support wise? | 02:36 |
| scientes | UEFI FOR ARM!!!! | 02:36 |
| scientes | WTF!!! | 02:36 |
| infinity | Everything more or less works (except some sound issues). | 02:36 |
| scientes | uEFI is a piece of shit | 02:37 |
| scientes | so you are using usb gadget mode to boot the pandas? | 02:40 |
| infinity | Hrm? | 02:43 |
| infinity | As in, pushing via USB from another host? No. My Pandas boot uBoot from SD, and chain to a USB HDD from there. | 02:43 |
| scientes | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LRWpuJRrTn4&feature=relmfu | 02:44 |
| scientes | he says they boot from usb | 02:44 |
| scientes | with some magic | 02:44 |
| infinity | They boot from several different directions, in weird ways. | 02:44 |
| infinity | But uBoot on an SD card is the most familiar way for most people. | 02:45 |
| scientes | i use uboot and NAND flash for the sheevaplug | 02:45 |
| scientes | with ubifs | 02:45 |
| scientes | the ubifs device enumeration is a bit wierd | 02:45 |
| GrueMaster | scientes: The arm server workload test framework uses usb-boot to reimage systems, then SD to boot into a usb drive. The tools should be in a bzr tree soon. | 05:59 |

| janimo | GrueMaster, mongodb/arm is in Precise, I did not test it much besides checking it actually works. In case you need it for some testing setups | 14:41 |
| GrueMaster | janimo: Let the server workload team know | 14:42 |
| janimo | in #serer ? | 14:42 |
| janimo | my keboard eats the letter '' | 14:42 |
| janimo | or eilt? | 14:42 |
| GrueMaster | In #eilt | 14:43 |
| * ogra_ still wonders who came up with that super silly name | 14:44 | |
| ogra_ | eilt in german means "in a hurry" ... | 14:44 |
| janimo | infinity, there's a new armadaxp kernel in NEW :D | 17:37 |
| GrueMaster | janimo: Did you take over development of that kernel? | 17:37 |
| janimo | GrueMaster, no, but I may be doing SRU's for it though later | 17:38 |
| janimo | currently just sponsroing uploads for Ike Pahnc | 17:38 |
| GrueMaster | Ah | 17:38 |
| janimo | so he can get enough karma to get PPU rights | 17:38 |
| ndec | ogra_: hi. do you still have the Blaze board? | 19:05 |
| ogra_ | you meanm the red elephant phone or the tablet ? | 19:06 |
| ogra_ | (i still have both) | 19:06 |
| ndec | the red one. | 19:08 |
| ndec | do you think you could ship it back? | 19:08 |
| ogra_ | hmm, sure | 19:09 |
| ndec | do you remember which CPU was on it? e.g. which 4430 revision? | 19:10 |
| ndec | it might be written on it... i am not sure. | 19:10 |
| ogra_ | pre something | 19:10 |
| ogra_ | it was a really early one | 19:10 |
| ndec | if i need it for Andy from linaro. | 19:10 |
| ogra_ | (and i'm not near^ the device to check a sticker) | 19:11 |
| ndec | if you can have it shipped to him directly, it's better ... | 19:11 |
| ogra_ | i'll have to check if that can fal under canonical shipments | 19:11 |
| ogra_ | *fall | 19:11 |
| ndec | ok. worst case i guess the shippment back to me should fall under it | 19:11 |
| ndec | if you need an email from me, asking to ship it to linaro instead of TI, let me know | 19:12 |
| ogra_ | right, i can talk to our shipment dept. on tuesday | 19:12 |
| ndec | ok. great! | 19:12 |
| ogra_ | i'll let you know if i need anything | 19:12 |
| ndec | sure | 19:13 |
| GrueMaster | ndec: Would you like mine as well? If so, email me shipping instructions. | 19:14 |
| ndec | GrueMaster: eheh.. i didn't know you had one too! | 19:15 |
| ndec | do you know which silicon revision you have? | 19:15 |
| ndec | or do you know what is the last kernel that ever worked on it?. | 19:15 |
| ndec | by giving the board to andy, i want to make sure that the linaro kernel supports the blaze properly... | 19:15 |
| GrueMaster | I have two daughterboards, and I think the one in the unit is an ES2.0 (I'd have to check). | 19:16 |
| ndec | ouch.. that is old... | 19:16 |
| ogra_ | the other one should be the same as mine | 19:16 |
| GrueMaster | I know the other board is the early pre-release version. | 19:16 |
| ogra_ | pre 1.0 i think | 19:16 |
| ogra_ | or *just* 1.0 | 19:16 |
| ogra_ | but i really think it was pre | 19:16 |
| ndec | ok. but the blaze is stil red, not black, right?. | 19:16 |
| GrueMaster | Yes. | 19:17 |
| ndec | i have more recent processor boards with recent silicon. | 19:17 |
| ndec | it's the board which is missing. | 19:17 |
| GrueMaster | 2 minutes and I can tell you what revs I have. | 19:17 |
| marvin24_DT | hi janimo | 19:17 |
| ndec | GrueMaster: if you don't need it, then yes, I would be happy to get it back | 19:17 |
| marvin24_DT | janimo: I wonder if it is still possible to update our kernel | 19:18 |
| marvin24_DT | I have 3.0.27, wifi, zcache/zram and some sound updates | 19:18 |
| marvin24_DT | or is it too late for precise already? | 19:18 |
| GrueMaster | ndec: Ok, I have the original cpu (same as ogra_), and the ES2 revision. The Blaze is w/o camera or PICO. But I would like to send it back to TI, otherwise it will go to our Lexington office. | 19:21 |
| ndec | ok. have it sent to me, then. | 19:23 |
| GrueMaster | ndec: Can you email me an address? My ID at gmail. | 19:24 |
| ndec | gmail? | 19:24 |
| GrueMaster | gmail.com | 19:25 |
| ndec | GrueMaster: can you PM it to me? | 19:26 |
| janimo | marvin24, should be doable | 20:32 |
| janimo | it's on the stable branch and well tested? | 20:32 |
| janimo | should I just include all of that? no large features that may be disruptive? | 20:32 |
| === plars is now known as plars-away | ||
| marvin24_DT | janimo: well, most is update to 3.0.27 and a few wifi / zcache fixes | 21:34 |
| marvin24_DT | all picked from upstream | 21:34 |
| marvin24_DT | I ran it for some days now | 21:34 |
| marvin24_DT | maybe you can provide a test package first | 21:35 |
| janimo | marvin24, ok, if it is all in your stable branch I'll have a look :) | 21:35 |
| janimo | sure | 21:35 |
| marvin24_DT | janimo: I'll push it tomorrow | 21:35 |
| marvin24_DT | after I made sure I got everything form -exp | 21:35 |
| janimo | alright | 21:35 |
| marvin24_DT | thanks | 21:35 |
| janimo | np :) | 21:35 |
