| mahmoh | GrueMaster: thx, I tried that and it did nothing - turns out the new flash-kernel doesn't use it, all that's handled in the initrd now, which appears broken | 03:16 |

| mahmoh | dannf: thx for looking ^ | 03:17 |
| cvanvliet | should I have an omaplfb module being able to load with a stock Linaro (Ubuntu) image. When I try to start PVR, tells me I have no module | 07:46 |
| cvanvliet | I have an Overo IronStorm (dm3730) | 07:47 |
| infinity | cvanvliet: Make up your mind, is it a Linaro image, or stock Ubuntu? | 07:51 |
| infinity | Two very different kernels. | 07:51 |
| infinity | If you use a 12.04 Ubuntu image, PVR will Just Work. | 07:51 |
| infinity | If you're using Linaro images, those are entirely different kernels, meant to hilight the latest and greatest upstream bits, but the PVR drivers aren't built to work with them. | 07:52 |
| cvanvliet | infinity, thanks | 07:52 |
| cvanvliet | I think that is the info I needed | 07:53 |
| cvanvliet | I cant use 12.04 as it is armhf and we need the SGX drivers | 07:53 |
| infinity | Hrm? | 07:55 |
| infinity | TI is only building the drivers for armhf now. | 07:55 |
| cvanvliet | OMAP3? | 07:55 |
| cvanvliet | I thought is was only OMAP4 | 07:56 |
| infinity | Oh. No, for Panda. I'm not sure what they're doing for omap3. | 07:56 |
| infinity | I missed the bit above about the plaform. | 07:56 |
| infinity | You could use 12.04/armel, though. We just don't provide preinstalled images for that. | 07:56 |
| cvanvliet | infinity, it is all new to me, all info helps ;) | 07:56 |
| infinity | We do provide d-i netboot images, if you have an external HDD to install to. | 07:57 |
| cvanvliet | ahh, i did not no there was a 12.04 armel, I was under the impression it was only armhf | 07:58 |
| cvanvliet | where is the best walkthrough (as I said noob) | 07:58 |
| infinity | armhf is the only thing we're supporting as an LTS, and the only thing we made nice preinstalled images for. | 07:58 |
| cvanvliet | got it | 07:59 |
| infinity | But you can install armel readily enough with a d-i image. | 07:59 |
| infinity | Like I said, if you have an external HDD. Which is the sane way to go anyway. | 07:59 |
| lilstevie | where possible armhf is much better | 07:59 |
| lilstevie | but yeah, not possible for you | 07:59 |
| infinity | http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports/dists/precise/main/installer-armel/current/images/omap/netboot/ | 07:59 |
| cvanvliet | lilstevie, yeah, understood | 07:59 |
| infinity | lilstevie: Yeah, we tried to lean on TI to get armhf builds of omap3 binary blobs, but they really only seemed to care about omap4. | 08:00 |
| lilstevie | I was in the same boat | 08:00 |
| infinity | Which made some sense. | 08:00 |
| cvanvliet | our target has to be for now omap3 | 08:00 |
| lilstevie | infinity: yeah, why waste resources on old hardware | 08:00 |
| infinity | lilstevie: Pretty much. | 08:00 |
| infinity | lilstevie: I might push them again at some point. I'd happily SRU armhf blobs into precise. | 08:00 |
| lilstevie | or if you are nvidia why waste resources period | 08:00 |
| lilstevie | heh | 08:00 |
| infinity | ndec: Say, can we get armhf builds of omap3 sgx blobs for precise? Kthx. | 08:01 |
| infinity | robclark: ^ | 08:01 |
| lilstevie | I will just be happy once I can get live-build to cooperate and build me a nice image | 08:01 |
| infinity | lilstevie: Oh, one of my work items (if I find the time to do it) is to mangle live-build so that it can produce "proper" Ubuntu images end-to-end. | 08:01 |
| lilstevie | but then part of me says I should wait until nvidia release r15rc | 08:02 |
| infinity | lilstevie: In other words, taking all the "magic" that we do with cdimage/debian-cd out of the loop, so what happens on the buildds can happen on your local machine, and the result is identical. | 08:02 |
| lilstevie | oh nice | 08:02 |
| lilstevie | I still am at the stage of configuring it to build something for me | 08:02 |
| lilstevie | getting ready to produce tf201 images | 08:03 |
| cvanvliet | infinity, any chance TI , will change their opinion, we are using gumstix / IGEP devices | 08:03 |
| infinity | Well, for the weird way ogra_ does ac100 images, that goal's already there. | 08:03 |
| cvanvliet | and that is why stuck at omap3 | 08:03 |
| lilstevie | infinity: yeah, but that isn't how I do things | 08:03 |
| lilstevie | :p | 08:03 |
| infinity | Installing livecd-rootfs, and mangling the ac100 target to do what you want, and building with -fplain will get you a bootimg/tarball installer mess. | 08:04 |
| lilstevie | I have no bootimg | 08:04 |
| lilstevie | :) | 08:04 |
| infinity | Ahh. | 08:04 |
| lilstevie | I boot a zImage/initrd from /boot | 08:04 |
| lilstevie | in the fs | 08:04 |
| infinity | Well, that's obviously cleaner. | 08:04 |
| infinity | Not sure why that wasn't an option on the ac100. | 08:04 |
| infinity | Maybe it was, and Oli's just weird. | 08:05 |
| lilstevie | well | 08:05 |
| lilstevie | cause by default it isn't | 08:05 |
| infinity | That would do it. | 08:05 |
| lilstevie | this is a highly customized kexec solution | 08:05 |
| infinity | Check. | 08:05 |
| lilstevie | although multiboot would offer the same | 08:05 |
| lilstevie | kexec doesn't work by default on the tf201, but with some magic that hardboots the device it does :p | 08:06 |
| lilstevie | bl inits all the hw from scratch | 08:06 |
| lilstevie | kernel decompressor code finds a flag in memory | 08:06 |
| lilstevie | jumps to different logic that boots the other kernel | 08:07 |
| infinity | lilstevie: That sounds like a pretty violent abuse of kexec. Well done. | 08:09 |
| * infinity thinks it might be sleep time. | 08:09 | |
| lilstevie | it is violent but gotta thank the guy who thought of it | 08:11 |
| lilstevie | it works amazingly | 08:11 |
| lilstevie | night | 08:11 |
| cvanvliet | night infinity and thanks | 08:13 |
| cvanvliet | following these instructions here, for netboot -> http://testcases.qa.ubuntu.com/Install/ARM/NetBoot | 08:38 |
| cvanvliet | I need to load a specific module for my network card | 08:38 |
| cvanvliet | how do i do that? | 08:38 |
