The modules are all built already as part of the process, but you need to meddle around with make modules_install to get them marshalled somewhere and scp them across. Or tar them and pipe them into untar via ssh or somesuch. Yeah. I tried this using the SYSROOT environment variable, but I think the versioning is messed up. I'll try to figure out what I did wrong and I'll post back to the list when I find an answer. I think what might have happened is I used the build script and tried to do the make modules_install part in another shell. Since you're setting temporary environment variables in the build script, this probably wouldn't work. Stupid rookie mistake. If you use the defconfig-2.6.24 .config then all the critical drivers for normal use (ethernet over USB, bt, sound, etc) are already in the monolithic kernel. Yeah. I'm not trying to make things difficult for myself. I just wanted g_ether as a module so I could use the freerunner as a usb flash drive, which requires removing the g_ether module. Using the build script means you won't get old modules from another kernel confused with modules usable on this kernel either because the /lib/modules path is unique by git head hash. So you can typically run a rootfs just with the monolithic kernel from that build even DFU'd in. If you routinely want the full module set, you can build using OE recipe to make OE package... but don't ask me how to do it :-) Yeah. I think I've already taken up enough of your time with dumb questions. I'd rather you spend it writing kernel patches. ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

Any recent OM kernel package should have this already. I don't know what the deal is with Debian and which config they use.

Trouble Building Kernel
I wanted to build a kernel to get some drivers as modules instead of built-in.
I followed
http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Toolchain
When I went to build the kernel, I had to change the 'build' script to point to
the toolchain. After that was fixed, I got this error when running the 'build'
script.

After rebooting the ethernet gadget will be back. 2. is the following sufficient to switch it back? #!/bin/sh rmmod g_file_storage modprobe g_ether ifup usb0 (assuming I replaced '/etc/init.d/networking stop' with 'ifdown usb0' as recommended by Daniel) 3. can somebody point me to a resource for the g_file_storage module where I can learn more about it? I did a couple of quick googles but didn't see anything promising. specifically I'd like to know more about the file parameter - I assume that in this scenario our usb stick is using partition/device information from /dev/mmcblk0p1, and will be partitioned in the same way as the SD card? what If I wanted to have my home directory accessible in usb stick mode?

As mmcblk0p1 doesn't contain a partition table, so won't sdx. If you want to export the whole device, use file=/dev/mmcblk0, you'll get the partition table in /dev/sdx and the kernel will parse it and create /dev/sdx1 (containing the contents of /dev/mmcblk0p1) etc. The host has direct access to the block device, so it is important that /dev/mmcblk0p1 is not mounted on both the phone and the host at the same time (unless it's mounted ro on both). What if it was mounted ro on the phone side and rw on the host side? Would that cause problems? ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

Kev [1] http://downloads.openmoko.org/repository/testing/ I just had a look at contents of http://downloads.openmoko.org/repository/testing/om-gta02/distro-feed-configs_1.0-r0.01_om-gta02.ipk which may be the package providing the opkg feeds config for that very feed if things were consistent... But the feeds definition there refer to http://buildhost.openmoko.org/daily-feed/ ... so I'm not so sure it's an operational testing upgrade feed for 2008.8/ASU. Just tried again today. The packages still don't get upgraded using opkg ugrade. It says they do during the process, but they definitely aren't. It's almost like I did opkg -test upgrade. But, if I upgrade a package specifically, it works fine. I'm not about to pick out each package and do an opkg upgrade on it. I can't figure out what would cause this. I think zeckes feeds worked fine. I'll have to try them again and test the same way. Anyhow, if any one tries these feeds and it works for them, please let me know. ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

Is there any way to lock the old version so I can do an 'opkg upgrade' without upgrading gpsd? I think this might be the same problem I'm having, how would I go about downgrading to a working version? I'm assuming I'd use opkg -force-downgrade, but what version of gpsd is known to be working? link? Try using cat to read the /dev/ttySAC* devices and see if you get NMEA data from any of them first. I have a suspicion that whatever handles the naming of the devices changed after an opkg upgrade to the daily feeds. Then change your /etc/default/gpsd file so that it has whatever device spits out NMEA data. Let me know how this turns out. ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
Re: Bluetooth, WiFi and Zecke's feeds?

At the moment, I can enable WiFi from the settings menu, but am unable to associate with my router (someone on IRC hinted that I sould run wpa_supplicant in debug mode, and it told me that it didn't get a timely reply from my router (WRT54G). Can anyone comment on that?) Also, I can switch BlueTooth on and off, but 'hcitool scan' gives me 'Device unavailable' with both settings. Should I create a ticket somewhere, or are these known bugs and (hopefully!) already ironed out? I don't think zecke's feeds are official, so I dont know if its appropriate to file bugs with OpenMoko.

dfu_upload error -84 when trying to backup images
I'm getting the following error when trying to backup rootfs: dfu_upload error -84 I've been able to back up the other partitions, but the rootfs fails every time at 258076672 Bytes. I think this is the size of the rootfs, but how can I be sure? I don't want to flash it with this image if there is missing data. I also don't want to try to flash it with 2008.8 if I'm not sure that it will complete. If it doesn't complete, will I be left with a brick until I can get it to complete successfully, or does it not write until the whole image is transferred? The host is a Macbook Pro CoreDuo (not C2D) running Gentoo. Has anybody had a similar experience? ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
