RE: [uClinux-dev] uCLinux web site down?

Has there been any thought to setting up torrents for the ISO's?

Might lessen the load on individuals for bandwidth by spreading it
around

Re: [uClinux-dev] uCLinux web site down?

2008-09-04 Thread Bob Furber

May I ask what kind of storage and bandwidth we are talking about?

Would it help to have a couple of mirror sites? If so, any thoughts as 
to the capabilities required of these sites?


When you mention the desire for additional bandwidth, can I ask what 
exactly are you referring to?


Dreaming in Technicolor, what would you like to see?

Thanks,

Howdy Claude,

For some months ago I have noticed that there are periods of time in 
which accessing to uClinux web site is slow and often impossible. Is 
there any problem with the uClinux site server? Well, maybe the 
reason is that, since uClinux is a fantastic creation,  there are 
more and more developers that are discovering it and, thus, 
overloading the website to download the code. In that case, if there 
is any developer that has taken profit of uClinux and owns a web 
hosting business, please donate some servers to uClinux.org!!!  :-)


Donation to increase bandwidth for the project are always welcome. 


We have paid for additional bandwidth with iPower in the
past to off load some uClinux-dist traffic but iPower shut down
all large file transfers as our bandwidth use was being reported
as impacting other users of there webservers.   That was a sad
day!  Turns out several users in China and in Europe had been
using aggressive transfer methods and resulted in a denial of
service for iPower perhaps?  I am not sure as iPower was not
helpful in resolving the issue.  Their solution was to just disable
our account.   Again .. very sad.


To those who are already donating time, servers and band width:
our thanks goes to Analog Devices,  Arcturus Networks Inc.
and Secure Computing (SnapGear).


So if anyone knows of others who are willing to provide addition
bandwidth for the large file transfers please drop me an email

Re: [uClinux-dev] uCLinux web site down?

2008-09-04 Thread Chris Cosby
What about creating torrents for the files? That way it's easier for those
who have some spare bandwidth to contribute without relying on any central
node. You could use the main uClinux website as the tracker and limit
download speed on the full files. Or setup a git/svn/cvs tree with the main
code in it. No need to put the full Linux kernels in there, just writeup a
patch mechanism which pulls the original kernels from kernel.org and patches
in the uClinux modifications.

[uClinux-dev] pthread_cond_timedwait() problems

2008-09-04 Thread Jorge Pereira
Hi all,

Did anybody use pthread_cond_timedwait on uClinux+uClibc? Everytime my
application died. The error message:

Unhandled fault: external abort on linefetch (F4) at 0x0001
fault-common.c(97): start_code=0xf00040, start_stack=0xf7ffa0)

But pthread_cond_wait has no problem.

I'm on uClinux-dist-20051014 + EmbeddedArtits. Any suggestion?

[uClinux-dev] uc5272 and 2.6 linux kernel

2008-09-04 Thread simon
Hello,

I am trying to build an uClinux image (with a 2.6 kernel) for a 5272
ucdimm (Arcturus) board. The ucdimm bootloader is uCbootloader.
I am using the 20080811 version of the uClinux distribution.
As a first step, i'd like boot an uClinux image with a romfs rootfs
appended to the kernel binary.
The image compilation went off very well.
But uCbootloader fail to run the linux kernel after jumping to the
0x0002 address.
On the other hand, an image builded with a 2.4 linux kernel start nicely...
As a difference between the 2.4 and 2.6 uclinux sources, i can see that
the romvec section have been removed from the kernel binary...
If i manage to build a 2.6 kernel by restoring the romvec section, the
resulting image boot and run finely...
I have the feeling i have done something wrong :)
Any advice is welcome.

Thanks in advance,

Simon

Hi,
How can I enable the IRQ from the GPIO5 line for my UART on the XSCALE IXP422? 
I have provided the IRQ in the platform data but I get always an exception.

#1: Is the load address in the uImage header the same as the address  
you're loading the image? If so, then u-boot assumes XIP and the  
kernel gets all borked up. Try loading the image at a different  
address. You are making a uImage, no? u-boot comes with a tool called  
"mkimage" which adds a header to the kernel file, and optionally  
compresses it.


#2: uClinux, as shipped, does not use the command line passed in from  
u-boot. You can either compile in a command line, or make a small  
modification to uClinux to get the arguments off the stack before the  
kernel munches them. I can post my mods, if you're interested. I also  
have u-boot able to pass an initrd to the kernel.
