[12:58] <tyzef> Hello
[13:00] <tyzef> i'm searching for information about support of d2plug in ubuntu. Especially, i'd like to know if it's possible to have raring for this platform. Anyone can help me ?
[13:10] <ogra_> tyzef, what SoC is in there ?
[13:28] <tyzef> excuse me ogra_ : what's "SoC" ?
[13:28] <ogra_> the chip/.processor in the d2plug
[13:29] <tyzef> Marvell® PXA510
[13:29] <tyzef> https://www.globalscaletechnologies.com/t-d2plugdetails.aspx
[13:31] <ogra_> yeah, seems to be ARMv7 ... so that should work
[13:33] <tyzef> i'm regarding the https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ARM page but i'm not sure which netboot image to install (prefer the generic)
[13:34] <tyzef> is armhf the good architecture ?
[13:35] <ogra_> yes, there is no netboot image for a d2 plug ... you will have to fiddle it up yourself
[13:35] <ogra_> "it will run" doesnt mean there is an installable image ...
[13:36] <tyzef> so i've to use mkimage command ... that's it ?
[13:37] <tyzef> something like this : "mkimage -A arm -O linux -T ramdisk -C gzip -a 0x3000000 -e 0x3000000 -n "debian" -d initrd.gz uinitrd"
[13:37] <ogra_> you can use an ubuntu-core tarball with your own kernel and bootloader ... but note that ubuntu-core comes completely unconfigured, you will need to do a lot to make it work properly
[13:37] <ogra_> mkimage only turns a bainry into an u-boot readable binary
[13:37] <ogra_> thats stuff for your bootloader ...
[13:38] <ogra_> note that installling without install media/image is a rather advanced task
[13:40] <ogra_> you will need to know how exactly your bootloader works, need to prepare your own kernel and initrd the right way and set up everything properly ...
[13:40] <ogra_> and for the ubuntu-core tarball you need to know what to configure in teh rootfs to have a proper setup
[13:44] <tyzef> i've allready install debian squeeze on this machine using mkimage and uboot but i've problems with dovefb_drv . So i want to try with ubuntu.
[20:10] <Snark> is there a page somewhere documenting what works on the samsung chromebook under ubuntu? [wifi, bluetooth, hdmi output, suspend+resume]
