[02:32] <smp4488> is there a 12.04 netinstall image for omap3?
[02:34] <smp4488> actually just found it http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports/dists/precise/main/installer-armel/current/images/omap/netboot/
[02:47] <Essobi> ls -lart
[02:47] <Essobi> woops... wrong window. :D
[02:48] <Essobi> Any support for ARMv4?
[04:31] <GrueMaster> Essobi: No
[04:31] <GrueMaster> See topic
[04:37] <twb> GrueMaster: is there an old (but not yet EOLd) release that predates the v7-only changes?
[04:38] <twb> Otherwise I guess we direct people to Debian?
[04:38] <GrueMaster> V7 was added in 10.04, and that version was only an 18 month cycle for arm.  jaunty was armv5, karmic was armv6+vfp.
[04:39] <GrueMaster> Yes, anything less than armv7 should go to debian.
[04:39] <twb> Ah, that's probably why my confusion, because I am used to thinking of 10.04 as LTS
[04:39] <twb> Essobi: so the short answer is try #debian-arm on OFTC
[09:41]  * janimo` is glad to see the plan to go with live-only installers for arm in 12.10
[09:57] <morphis> hm, anyone has experience with cross-building vala application in a sbuild environment on a amd64 host?
[10:21] <harsh_> hi, I was going through panda's spec on pandaboard.org and it does say that it has audio out/in jack, however http://www.omappedia.org/wiki/PandaBoard_FAQ#I_am_not_able_to_record_Audio_using_Mic-in.3F suggests that its a LINE-IN and not mic (the top connector on panda). I am actually trying to record audio on panda, and havent got success yet, anyone help ?
[11:48] <sveinse> Anyone who knows a quick and simple way to have a login-less shell on a serial tty ?
[11:51] <hrw> sveinse: cd /etc/init;cp tty1.conf ttySERIALPORTNAME.conf
[11:51] <hrw> maybe also edit file to change serial port name inside
[11:51] <hrw> and change getty to bash probably
[11:53] <sveinse> Well, its the latter point which is my question. So simply refrain from using getty would be the simplest, right
[11:53] <sveinse> I forsee an issue with running bash as an unprivileged user from init though
[11:54] <sveinse> Perhaps start-stop-daemon will be at my disposal for this...
[12:39] <hrw> sveinse: linaro has something in images for it
[16:24] <Nikropht-ofc> Which ARMv7 Family is best suited for Ubuntu 12.4?
[16:31] <GrueMaster> Nikropht-ofc: Not sure I understand your question.  Ubuntu 12.04 should work on any Cortex A8/A9 compatible SOC privided you have a bootloader and kernel support.  12.04 also has support for some devices already, with images ready to run.
[16:35] <Nikropht-ofc> GrueMaster: thx
[20:34] <phako> hi. Is there any chance of getting gst-dsp to work on precise armhf or should I just give up?
[20:37] <rcn-ee> phako, which board? does it just lag really slow?
[20:37] <phako> beagleboard C3
[20:37] <phako> the decoding is _really_ slow and it looks like it's all in software
[20:38] <rcn-ee> yeah, i haven't had it work on my c4 since, 3.0.x or something, just really slow..
[20:39] <phako> meh
[20:39] <phako> additonaly the software mp3 decoder seems broken
[20:40] <phako> rcn-ee: so this is more a kernel issue than a sf/hf issue?
[20:40] <rcn-ee> that should be done in software on the arm core.. it's probally the correct audio channel isn't enabled..
[20:40] <phako> rcn-ee: no, it happily crashes in libmad somewhere
[20:40] <rcn-ee> ah, haven't seen that yet..
[20:41] <rcn-ee> the problem is, it's more, no one other then nokia was working on dspbridge/gst-dsp with their n900....  it would be nice to get dsplink working, then we could use the dsp stuff from angstrom which is more maintained..
[20:43] <phako> does this dsplink cooperate with gstreamer as  well?
[20:43] <phako> or is that the "get it working" part?
[20:46] <rcn-ee> get it working, relates to building the dsp kernel modules and other dsp stuff...  with gst-dsp we just used the prebuild dsp bins..
[20:47] <rcn-ee> you can see a number of the dsp-link related tools here: https://github.com/Angstrom-distribution/meta-ti/tree/master/recipes-ti
[20:49] <phako> right
[20:49] <phako> so I either get angstrom and have to rebuild a s*tload of stuff or go for debian stable and basically have to do the same...
[20:50] <rcn-ee> yeap, that's the road i was on... then got dspbridge/gstdsp working so i stopped and used that..
[20:55] <phako> oh, it doesn't handle mpeg2 anyway :-/
[21:08] <trelane> is there a smaller (console only) image than the 12.04 LTS desktop image?
[21:08] <trelane> (OMAP3)
[21:09] <trelane> hrm appears core is what I want
[21:17] <infinity> trelane: core needs a bit of effort to make it work.  You might be after server.
[21:18] <infinity> trelane: (core has no bootloader or kernel, it's just a rootfs)
[21:18] <trelane> aah
[21:18] <infinity> server's footprint is reasonably small if you remove the package pool after you install.
[21:19] <infinity> Just see the top of sources.list post-install.
[21:19] <trelane> not worried about space
[21:19] <trelane> more worried about resources after boot
[21:19] <infinity> Ahh.
[21:19] <trelane> and I do not need a desktop :)
[21:19] <infinity> Then, yes, server is what you want.
[21:20] <trelane> need bash, cron, apache, possibly perl-snmp
[21:20] <trelane> later I'll need lots of beers and crying
[21:20] <infinity> ;)
[21:21]  * trelane misses the days of rootstock "I want the following packages, here's a serial port, now go pretend to do something"
[21:21] <rcn-ee> trelane, i'm still in those days. ;)
[21:21] <trelane> I'm jealous!
[21:22] <infinity> The server image will get you a similar (but less broken-by-design) result.
[21:22] <infinity> If you have an external drive, you could also boot a d-i netboot image.
[21:22] <infinity> (Which I'd recommend)
[21:22] <trelane> right now I'm trying to get the thing up far enough to poll an analog pin
[21:22] <trelane> and make sure I get how that works
[21:22] <trelane> beyond that
[21:22] <trelane> I promise nothing :)
[21:23] <trelane> Im just going to throw this on the sd card and move on with life (hopefully)
