Re: [Ipodlinux-devel] Will compiling with any GCC version work??

[Bernard L. <le...@bo...>]

To compile the iPod kernel you need the arm cross compiler.  This builds
binaries for the ARM cpu.  This is normally called arm-elf-gcc and lives in
/usr/local/bin.

On your pc/Mac you would have a native compiler (compiling to x86 or ppc). 
This is normally just call gcc and lives in /usr/bin.

To build the kernel for the iPod you need the cross compiler.

To build the boot loader you need both, the boot loader runs on the iPod but
the patching program runs on the pc/Mac.

When you install gcc under gento it will be a native compiler, gcc3.x in this
case.  This is fine.

However you additionally need to install the arm cross compiler from the
uClinux.org website.  There is no way in gentoo (using portage) to build a
cross compiler and in anycase you just don't need (or want!) to because there
are special patches & versions required.

So, just do a normal gentoo install, then when its done grab the arm-elf cross
compiler from uclinux.org and install it and everything will be good.

cheers,
bern.

[Robert D <ro...@op...>]

Bernard,

Sorry, you kinda lost me there. I have compiled the bootloader and kernel on
gcc 2.9.x before, but now i am changing distro's from Debian to Gentoo and i
was wondering if GCC 3.3 (iirc) would work for compiling all the stuff.

According to Jeff it should, do you agree?

Thanks,
Robert D

Re: [Ipodlinux-devel] Will compiling with any GCC version work??

[Bernard L. <le...@bo...>]

Hi Robert,

The gcc3 that comes with gentoo will only compile stuff for your PC/mac.  For
the iPod you will need to install the arm-elf-gcc cross compiler.  Just get
the version for the uclinux.org website and install that (it just goes in
/usr/local so there is minimal pollution of your system).

This cross compiler is 2.95+arm+(?uclinux?) patches plus some specific version
of binutils.  Trying to do it yourself is simply not worth the pain.

For Mac there was a version for download but it seems to have again become
unaccessible behind some login/password.  Does anyone have a copy of the
MacOSX toolchain that was at;

<http://www.klingler.net/download/arm-linux.pkg.sit>

I'd like to put it up on sf.net so that it won't disappear anymore!

cheers,
bern.

[Ipodlinux-devel] kernel Compile

[Steven D. <st...@ta...>]

Hey all,

 

Could someone please send me a pre-compiled Kernel that would work with 3G
iPods or give me a link to one? Also, what is the CVS info for downloading
the most current version of uClinux for iPod?

 

Thanks.

Hey,

I am about to properly install gentoo and everything on my system, the

Re: [Ipodlinux-devel] Ethernet over Firewire on 3G ipod

[Bernard L. <le...@bo...>]

Hi Mathieu,

I haven't ever seen problems like that.  There are problems with booting
and firewire so perhaps they are related...

One major tip is to not boot the iPod with it connected.  Wait until
everything is loaded and ready then plug it in.

Perhaps you could test with a kernel/eth1394 module compiled by someone
else?

cheers,
bern.

Hi everybody !
I have a big probel with the ethernet over firewire function in the ipod =
kernel..
When i run the modprobe eth1394 command on the ipod (with the rc script) =
I have a big big error... I cannot read it because the text scroll very =
fast..
And when I would like to configure the ip (by ifconfig eth0 =
192.168.0.150) the command say me that the eth0 is not finded...
I used the latest CVS kernel version !

CHeers,

I compiled the tsb driver as a module, and it works fine. So as a
temporary workaround you may try this, too. About the panic: firewire is
initialized very early (actually before the display) if it's built in, so
the interrupt handler may use something not yet initialized...

Re: [Ipodlinux-devel] ipodloader on ppc

[Steven L. <sl...@uc...>]

Hi,

I grabbed the CVS version and the bootloader now works.  I still had to add
-N to LDFLAGS, but the ipod shows tux and I can choose which OS with the
buttons.  The bootloader is very handy:)

I'll work on the kernel issues later tonight.  (I tried both the 2.95 and
3.2.1 toolchain built from the uclinux source).

Thanks,
Steven

Re: [Ipodlinux-devel] ipodloader on ppc

[Diman T. <dim...@ri...>]

if you still dual boot with macosx... there is a precompiled arm gcc on  
applie.com (go figure :)
also www.handhelds.org provides a lot of information on arm cross  
compiling toolchains
i am afraid though they only have precompiled ones for x86
doesnt debian have a precompiled ppc arm cross compiler? just a guess

Re: [Ipodlinux-devel] ipodloader on ppc

[Bernard L. <le...@bo...>]

Hi Steven,

Sorry about the ppc bug, I think it was you that reported it some time ago...
Its been fixed in cvs but not in the release version.  The CVS version also
has an endian fix for the extraction code so you probably should grab the cvs
version for now.  This bug may be the cause of the folder icon.

The other problems you are seeing I would guess to be related to the build
tools you are using.  I'm not sure where you can get a prebuild ppc-arm cross
compiler but perhaps you could grab the source distribution from uclinux and
build that?

cheers,
bern.

[Ipodlinux-devel] ipodloader on ppc

[Steven L. <sl...@uc...>]

Hey everyone,

I haven't been around these parts for a while, but I'm trying to catch up
with everything that's been done.  I'm running into two independent problems:

One is with the ipodloader.  I'm running gentoo on ppc with a g1 ipod.  Once
I change the "char c" to "int c" so the thing doesn't get stuck in the loop
(line 260), it appears to make make_fw alright.  For the cross-compiled
stuff, however, I get the following error:

"
arm-uclibc-gcc -Wl,-Tarm_elf_40.x -nostartfiles -o loader startup.o loader.o tools.o tux.o
/home/local/uclibc/bin/../lib/gcc-lib/arm-linux/3.2.1/../../../../arm-linux/bin/ld.real:
loader: Not enough room for program headers, try linking with -N
/home/local/uclibc/bin/../lib/gcc-lib/arm-linux/3.2.1/../../../../arm-linux/bin/ld.real:
final link failed: Bad value
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [loader] Error 1
"

If I add -N to LDFLAGS in Makefile, everything compiles nicely, but when I
follow the instructions in the README I just get a "folder!" icon when I try
to boot my ipod.  I don't know if the -N is the culprit (not very familiar
with linking), or if it's something else (endian problem?).  Is there a newer
(CVS?) copy I could get my hands on?  Is anyone else experiencing these
problems and I just missed the message?

The second problem comes when trying to compile the kernel.  Actually, it's
before I even get to that point.  After I "make oldconfig", I "make dep" but
get the following error:

"
make[6]: Leaving directory `/home/uc/linux-2.4.20/drivers/video/aty'
make -C intel fastdep
make: *** intel: No such file or directory.  Stop.
"

I didn't used to get that message when cross compiling a kernel for the ipod,
so perhaps it's one of the new patches?

Thanks for any help,
Steven

Re: [Ipodlinux-devel] 2.4.24 kernel

[Bernard L. <le...@bo...>]

It still only does 44.1... as you say the chip does other rates but my
driver is pretty dodgey.  The driver also only does output ;)  Patches
for either would be gratefully accepted!

Post the release, I am hoping to make the move to 2.6 on the iPod asap
and focus on adding new features / better drivers there.  E.g. for the
audio move to an ALSA driver.  At the moment 2.6 doesn't even mount the
rootfs though so it might be some way off...

cheers,
bern.

Re: [Ipodlinux-devel] 2.4.24 kernel

[Gilles Boccon-G. <bo...@bo...>]

Great news.
Does this release fix the problem of the audio driver only supporting
44.1kHz samping rates ? Last time I looked at the driver, it hardcoded the
chip's registers to only do 44.1kHz, but it seems that the hardware if
capable of supporting other sampling rates. Also, the driver is always in
stereo, but the chip might be able to do mono.

Thanks.

[Ipodlinux-devel] 2.4.24 kernel

[Bernard L. <le...@bo...>]

Hi all,

last night I finally sorted out the iPod third-gen audio problems.  With
this fix all the supported hardware should work for all (non-mini) iPod
models.  I have also added devfs support for /dev/dsp.

I'd like to get this version of the kernel up as a release on
sourceforge in the next little while.

The big question though is - are there any known problems that should be
addressed in this release?

cheers,
bern.

Re: [Ipodlinux-devel] HowTo v0.2 for Mac OS X

[PALFFY D. <dpa...@ra...>]

Hi!

Just another quick addition: on big-endian machines you need the CVS
version of ipodloader, the released one won't work because of a byte-sex
bug. This should be cleared in the docs to avoid bogus bug reports.

Re: [Ipodlinux-devel] HowTo v0.2 for Mac OS X

[Bernard L. <le...@bo...>]

Hi JC,

Thats great news about the update.  I'd like to get this onto the website but
more as part of a general cleanup of the docs....

One minor point, I have recently added the pad.S stuff in CVS so now it is
possible to use "make boot" to create the linux.bin file directly.

Have you looked at Microwindows at all?  From an earlier message it seems
there are some problems there too on the Mac platform.

cheers,
bern.

Hi,

Thanks to MacIndian and Jeff N. I corrected some mistakes from the 
previous version of the HowTo. I send here the html file and its latex 
source if you need to modify it or to generate a document in another 
format.

Re: [Ipodlinux-devel] Make GUI on MacOSX

[Bernard L. <le...@bo...>]

It looks like that error is from the assert() call.  Try adding NDEBUG to the
CFLAGS in the makefile and see if that helps.

cheers,
bern.

[Ipodlinux-devel] Make GUI on MacOSX

[MacIndian/Perreard M. <Mac...@fr...>]

Hello.

with the doc of JC and Bernard, my linux is working perfectly.

Now, i'm compiling the GUI.

First, there is a problem with bmp pictures of Microwindows when we  
want to tar it.
impossible to convert it during the Make.
we had to untar microwindows we the soft Stuffit ...  just double clik  
on the file ... :-p and put pictures in the folder.
but after we have that:
