Regards David Da: lee jones Oggetto: Re: [ARMedslack] Armedslack on the Efika i.MX515 (ARM Cortex-A8 800MHz) A: armedslack at lists.armedslack.org Data: Mercoled? 31 agosto 2011, 14:45 Ok here's a tidied up list of what I've tried (second attempt) at installing armedslack on the Efika MX smartbook. ---- Armedslack Version used??????????? = slack-13.1-miniroot_14Jun10.tar.xz Efika mx modules/kernel version??? = 2.6.31.14.22 0. Notes * This dosen't work properly yet - currently boots to a command line, but keyboard is unusable. 1. Grab an SD card and partition it into two partitons Partition 1 - 100MB????????????? EXT3 Partition 2 - Rest of card?????? EXT4 2. Format both partitions on a linux system. Use mkfs.ext3 for the ext3 partiton, and use mkfs.ext4 for the ext4 partition. 3. Download the slack 13.1 miniroot file from here; ftp://ftp.armedslack.org/armedslack/armedslack-devtools/minirootfs/roots/slack-13.1-miniroot_14Jun10.tar.xz 4. Download the following files from here; [1] http://ausil.us/smartbook/boot-2.6.31.14.22-efikamx.tar [2] http://ausil.us/smartbook/modules-2.6.31.14.22-efikamx.tar [3] http://ausil.us/smartbook/firmware.tar.bz2 [4] http://steubentech.com/~talon/Efika-MX/mavericksd/boot.tar.xz 5. Extract two scripts from [4] - these are the files "script-prep" and "kernel-prep". 6. Extract the contents of? [1] onto the first partition of the SD card. Move the files into the "boot" directory into the root of the first partition of the SD card. Delete the directories "dracut" and "grub". 7. Extract the files from the slack distro onto the second partition of the SD card, e.g. ?tar -xf slack-13.1-miniroot_14Jul10.tar.xz -C /where/you/mounted/the/second/partition 8. Extract the files from [2] and [3] onto the second partition of the SD card. 9. On the second SD card partition edit /etc/inittab and comment out the line starting with "s0:1234", put a # in front of that line to comment it out. 9. On the second SD card partition edit /etc/fstab and add the following; /dev/mmcblk0p2?????????? /????????????? ext4?????? defaults??? 1?????? 1 /dev/mmcblk0p1?????????? /boot????????? ext3?????? defaults??? 0?????? 0 10. On the first partition when the files in [1] were extracted you should have a boot.scr.in file. Edit this to look as follows; setenv ramdisk uInitrd; setenv kernel uImage; setenv bootargs console=tty1 root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 selinux=0 rootwait ro; ${loadcmd} ${ramdiskaddr} ${ramdisk}; if imi ${ramdiskaddr}; then; else ? setenv bootargs ${bootargs} noinitrd; ? setenv ramdiskaddr ""; fi; ${loadcmd} ${kerneladdr} ${kernel} if imi ${kerneladdr}; then ? bootm ${kerneladdr} ${ramdiskaddr} fi; 11. Boot the efika MX and allow it to boot the default linux (ubuntu) install. Insert the SD card, open a command line to where the SD card (1st partition) is mounted and do the following; sudo ./script-prep boot.scr.in boot.scr 12. Reboot the efika MX smartbook, leave the SD card in the SD slot. ljones -----Segue allegato----- _______________________________________________ ARMedslack mailing list ARMedslack at lists.armedslack.org http://lists.armedslack.org/mailman/listinfo/armedslack -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

You don't need to do this - you can build a kernel with a cross compiler. It's far faster. I don't have a reference document for this -- the only cross environment I have is here: ftp://ftp.armedslack.org/armedslack/armedslack-devtools/x-toolchain/ but this is just enough of a cross toolchain to enable distcc on my x86 machines.

Lee is using the right kernel but he's using the kernel modules of Armedslack, They certainly won't work because they're compiled for other boards (kernel-modules-kirkwood-2.6.33.5_kirkwood-arm-1.tgz and kernel-modules-versatile-2.6.33.5_versatile-arm-1.tgz ). Obviously Debian/Ubuntu use a different INIT (on the x86 Ubuntu doesn;t even use INIT), so the question is: in which initialization script on Armedslack should the modules be loaded?

So you cd into the root of the Linux kernel source, and do for example: make ARCH=arm rpc_defconfig which would place the RiscPC default configuration as the kernel '.config' file. You can find the configs in: arch/arm/configs If the Efika can boot via tftp (I haven't been following the thread much) then you place the newly compiled kernel onto your tftp server and boot it over the network. This way you leave the original one (on your NAND or whatever) in tact. This is how I usually test the new kernels for ARMedslack. This way, if your kernel works then it does -- if not, you can recompile until you get it right. -- Stuart Winter Slackware ARM: www.armedslack.org From tingox at gmail.com Fri Sep 2 19:44:28 2011 From: tingox at gmail.com (Torfinn Ingolfsen) Date: Fri, 02 Sep 2011 21:44:28 +0200 Subject: [ARMedslack] Logitech Squeezebox Touch In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: On 09/01/2011 18:14, Thorsten M?hlfelder wrote: > Hi, > > I wonder if there is any information how to change the OS on a Logitech > Squeezebox Touch? > According to this blog it's an ARM based device running Linux: > http://blog.sarine.nl/2010/09/30/squishybox-a-better-squeezebox-touch-experience/ > https://github.com/DaveDavenport/squishybox/wiki/SqueezeBox-Touch Perhaps in the SqueezeOS forum?

This time I can report more success :) ! I was just poking about on the internet, when I turned up this; http://crux-arm.nu/SupportedDevices/EfikaMX-SmartTop Apparently crux linux can run on the smarttop (think very much like the efika mx smartbook but with no screen and uses even less power!) and they have a link there to a kernel and modules. Those are; http://crux-arm.nu/files/devices/efikamx/uImage-2.6.31.14.22-efikamx_20110510(the kernel) http://crux-arm.nu/files/devices/efikamx/modules-2.6.31.14.22-efikamx_20110510.tar.bz2(the modules) So far I've just very quickly tried the following. I replaced the kernel I was using on the first SD partition with the one above in the link and extracted/copied across the modules too. Then it was just a case of modifying the boot.scr.in file to point to the new kernel and then running (from the installed ubuntu install) script.prep boot.scr.in boot.scr and rebooted. This time with this kernel I was more succesful. I haven't tried much else right now - but I can now login with login name root and password password.

So, it looks like you 'ported' armedslack onto the Efikamx (ok, I know that Armedslack needs not be ported, I was just exaggerating a bit...). Have you got network and Xorg running?

Thinking that after installing alsa I'd need to run alsaconf - alsaconf dosen't seem to run correctly (I get error message such as "modinfo: could not find module snd") however it appears it didn't need to be run in the first place as the sound seems to be working anyway. I tired installing mpg123 and also libtool (it needed it) and tired to play an mp3, which worked. Also alsamixer seems to be working. The bad news is X, I'm afraid. From what I'm reading (and I'm not 100% on any of this) the mx smartbook needs its down driver called xf86-video-imx which would need to be compiled from scratch, though it dosen't provide any 2d acceleration for X. Again I'm guessing here but that needs lots of other libraries which need to be built (e.g. libz160bin) and other libraries, some of which may be propietary(!). I'm trying to infer some of this from this post - http://www.powerdeveloper.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=1870&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0 ..so for now, X is impossible right now. ljones -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Actyally I grepped the mount out of rc.udev so I'll try to figure out why it's not workin. The other odd thing is that before mounting manually I can grep devpts out of /proc/mounts. I wonder if it's normal ot if it's a resedue from initrd ? Well whatever ... it looks like the check_mounted function at the top of rc.udev is using /proc/mouns to detect if something is mounted ... but the content in it seems wrong. To temporarely work around the problem I commented the check and blind make and mount /dev/pts in rc.udev.

Really I don't have a clue on how to do it x.x ! Intrestingly enough though .... I have managed to get X running - albeit very slowly by using the vesa driver. After getting nowhere trying to compile that driver (I lack the knowledge to do so!) I wondered what might happen if I just tried running "xorgsetup" . Intrestingly enough this worked and it appears to be using some sort of vesa driver. Didn't know this was possible -- I always thought vesa was x86 only. Right now I'm trying out xfce4 (armedslack 13.1). Here's what I've found so far; * Screen redrawing can be a problem sometimes but can be fixed. For example opening a window and then minimising it might loose part of the background with (say) the "home" icon on it, moving a window over the affected area and back again restores it. This *dosen't* happen all the time however. * Playing a small video file in xine worked. It was rather slow and stuttery but played ok. * Firefox runs slowly but is usable. ljones -- :) SP -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Yea I know that's the way it should be and with root it works ... but with non privileged user the only password that is working is just hitting ENTER. Any other text (including the correct password) does not work.

So it is "really" unsupported. None of the kirkwood arcNumbers listed in Debian results in a functional network. In OpenWRT is a patch that made the GBit network working (arcNumber=2870). But the OpenWRT kernel is not able to read or write the flash correctly. My guess is that it depends on the kernel you are using.

I did have problems trying to run the install on a Gbe switch, sometimes it wouldn't tftpboot.
