Hello !

I didn't find where to specify if it's a 400 or 200 in make menuconfig ..?

compiling stopped because of :
mv /home/jm/br2/dl/mtd-snapshot-20060119.tar.bz2 /home/jm/br2/dl/mtd-
snapshot-20060119.tar.bz2
mv: `/home/jm/br2/dl/mtd-snapshot-20060119.tar.bz2' et `/home/jm/br2/dl/mtd=
-
snapshot-20060119.tar.bz2' identifient le m=EAme fichier.

why moving it if it's at the right place !? ;)

Taylor / John,

	You were both right.  I didn't have pppd support in the kernel, and it was 
also a libcrypt issue.  Many thanks.

I'd imagine the code is referring to uint64_t (since that's the ANSI  
type) and you *are* getting the typedef, which is saying "uint64_t is  
implemented by __u64".  It's then just having trouble finding __u64.   
Is this kernel code or userspace code?  The filename it's failing on  
looks like it's tun.c, which sounds like a kernel module.

Hi,

Is there a way to attach a large hard disk (like 40GB, 2.5") to a 
gumstix board?

The appropriate interface would probably be the CF slot in a CFstix. Are 
adapters available for the CF slot? (On the net I only found adapters to 
attach CompacFlash drives to common 40pin/44pin IDE interfaces on 
mainboards).

And if such an adapter exists ... will a gumstix be able to address 40GB 
or more?

Thanks for any help or hints

Cheers

Hello,

I am trying to determine the power requirements for a Waysmall 400MHz durin=
g
a continuous write cycle to on-board MMC flash card. Does anybody have a
spec for this?

Referring to the Waysmall Wiki, I see specs for idle (60 mA) and 100% CPU
(220 mA), but haven't found specs for MMC R/W-related power consumption.

Thanks,
Chris

Easy?  probably not.  You could probably create a root_fs on a  
filesystem on an MMC card (if you have a basix or netMMC), build a  
kernel uImage which has all the MMC drivers built-in (instead of  
modules), and then set bootargs to point at the root on the MMC  
card.  You'd probably want to use ext2 for the FS on there.  That  
would let you boot from an MMC-rootfs; you then might be able to  
mount /dev/mtdblock1 from within linux, even if u-boot doesn't want  
to deal with it.  That might allow you to copy your data off the  
flash if that's why you don't want to erase flash.

Unfortunately, there isn't a fsck for jffs2 afaik.

C

.................

	What actually happened to cause this problem today?  Is anything
known from similar circumstances?  Was it electrical in nature with some
sort of power surge that altered data or address lines / information? OR was
it a software problem caused by the handling of data into and out of memory
that hung up in an undesirable state?  Also, the journal based system
"jffs2" should be able to tolerate this type of action shouldn't it?  Isn't
it a mirror based file system that always holds 2 copies of all transactions
as information is shuffled into and out of memory?   

	The abrupt loss of power is obviously a harsh condition to be
presented to the processor, BUT it should not have a negative effect on the
file system that hinders the processor from powering back up.  Having the
file system scrambled due to a power loss is not a good thing for a
commercial product.

And then what?  I have got the "actual reset code" uncommented version
of u-boot loaded via Wiggler and OCD Commander & boot-auto.mac (from
wiki) running.  From minicom, I am able to get to a u-boot GUM prompt.
Attempt to flash normal u-boot via kermit/minicom failed.  I am able to
download u-boot.bin via kermit, but when I attempt to copy it to flash I
get:

GUM> cp.b a2000000 0 ${filesize}
Copy to flash... Outside available flash
GUM>=20

What next?

Thanks,

Hi Julien

All the schematics are meant to be in place - no change.

That being said, it does appear that the breakout-gs.gif is not posted ri=

Easy?  probably not.  You could probably create a root_fs on a  
filesystem on an MMC card (if you have a basix or netMMC), build a  
kernel uImage which has all the MMC drivers built-in (instead of  
modules), and then set bootargs to point at the root on the MMC  
card.  You'd probably want to use ext2 for the FS on there.  That  
would let you boot from an MMC-rootfs; you then might be able to  
mount /dev/mtdblock1 from within linux, even if u-boot doesn't want  
to deal with it.  That might allow you to copy your data off the  
flash if that's why you don't want to erase flash.

Unfortunately, there isn't a fsck for jffs2 afaik.

Sorry guys..  haven't got the reply thing automated yet.. hmm.

Anyway

Dave- you responded to my question about uisp and robostix...  Am I missing
something?  How come you need a programmer when using the Desktop but don't
need one when using the gumstix?  Isn't the gumstix connection to the robostix
just straight serial (for programming)?

I guess I'm confused why one actually needs a "programmer" rather than just
some software and a serial connection.

PS I ask as more for my own curiousity rather than trying to avoid buying a
programmer (and the hassle of ordering one).

Thanks!
