| # 20:00:16 | kos_tom | y_morin, hello. |
| # 20:00:29 | y_morin | kos_tom: hey da! :-) |
| # 20:00:30 | kos_tom | y_morin, my co-worker will need to build a toolchain with 2.6.20 kernel headers (the target runs such an old kernel) |
| # 20:00:49 | kos_tom | y_morin, but for the Linux 2.6.20 kernel headers to install properly, a small patch needs to be applied (the infamous getline() conflict) |
| # 20:01:00 | y_morin | Hmmm. 2.6.20 is old and broken IIRC. |
| # 20:01:04 | y_morin | Yes, indeed. |
| # 20:01:17 | kos_tom | y_morin, and in ct-ng, it seems that there is no place for kernel patches needed to get kernel headers installed. |
| # 20:01:26 | kos_tom | old, yes. Broken, why? |
| # 20:01:49 | kos_tom | at the moment, we have built the toolchain with Buildroot, and the resulting system (Busybox, Dropbear, ftp server, etc.) works just fine on the target device. |
| # 20:01:58 | y_morin | Yes, there is! Create the dir entry patches/linux/2.6.20, add the patch in there, and tada! |
| # 20:02:11 | y_morin | Provided of course the kernel is not already extracted. |
| # 20:02:48 | y_morin | Broken: the getline stuff you mentionned. I did not recall the issue, at hit enter before reading your msg. |
| # 20:03:19 | y_morin | And IIRC, the SCSI headers are somewhat corked as well (still the case in recent kernels, IIRC). |
| # 20:04:02 | kos_tom | there's no patches/linux directory. Will it be picked up automagically if created? |
| # 20:04:10 | y_morin | Yes. |
| # 20:04:20 | kos_tom | ok, awesome. |
| # 20:04:49 | y_morin | That's the whole purpose of the patches/ dir and sub-dirs: to get patches automatically applied. |
| # 20:04:52 | kos_tom | BTW, I've built a GCC 4.6-linaro toolchain for ARM, with binutils 2.21 and uClibc 0.9.32-rc3 NPTL. It managed to build a kernel + busybox. I'll test in Qemu soon. |
| # 20:05:32 | y_morin | Although the patches won't be applied if ct-ng was able to extract in a previous run. |
| # 20:05:48 | y_morin | kos_tom: 4.6-linaro: nice! |
| # 20:07:12 | kos_tom | y_morin, so you've seen that Bart came with some more patches for canadian build :-) |
| # 20:07:27 | y_morin | kos_tom: yes! :-) |
| # 20:08:19 | y_morin | kos_tom: but I'm under the water for now on some other stuff, and I an in debt of a patch series for Jacmet, plus one for Mercurial, plus a few // branches here on ct-ng, plus many other stuff... |
| # 20:08:43 | kos_tom | normal life, no? :-) |
| # 20:08:52 | y_morin | kos_tom: And There were a few moinor issues to work on, so at least it gives me a few days' break... :-/ |
| # 20:08:59 | y_morin | kos_tom: YES! :-] |
| # 20:09:04 | y_morin | lol! |
| # 20:10:19 | y_morin | kos_tom: BTW: do you know what drivers are needed for linux do recognise USB kbd and mice (besides the host+hid drivers) ? |
| # 20:11:53 | kos_tom | INPUT_EVDEV ? |
| # 20:12:16 | y_morin | Doh... |
| # 20:12:21 | y_morin | Sigh... |
| # 20:12:27 | y_morin | goes hang himself... |
| # 20:12:35 | y_morin | kos_tom: Hehe! Thanks! |
| # 20:12:59 | kos_tom | had to make an USB barcode reader work on an embedded Linux system recently :è) |
| # 20:13:22 | kos_tom | however, I'm doing the keycode -> usual characters conversion manually in my app. I don't know if the kernel could do it for me. |
| # 20:13:28 | kos_tom | especially since it's keymap-dependant |
| # 20:14:13 | y_morin | kos_tom: I am not 100% sure, but I believe the kernel has code for that. Or how you the bare console work otherwise? |
| # 20:15:26 | y_morin | kos_tom: btw, hyper-threaded hexa-core Core i7 @3.2GHz: it rocks ponneys! :-) |
| # 20:15:35 | kos_tom | y_morin, yeah, I suppose so. I just didn't now how to leverage it. I just open "/dev/input/event0", get the raw input events, and go. |
| # 20:15:50 | kos_tom | y_morin, aah, that's the new PC you were talking about on the list. |
| # 20:15:51 | kos_tom | y_morin, great! |
| # 20:16:08 | y_morin | kos_tom: that's IMHO the most elegant option: the least policy in kernel is better. |
| # 20:16:23 | y_morin | yes, but without a KBD and mouse, it's pretty useless... :-/ |
| # 20:16:59 | y_morin | Thanks ssh so far... |
