englishm: awesome! I just got the xen-arm-builder image up and running on mine. :D
<englishm>
I just booted the prebuilt image successfully. :)
<englishm>
Looks like I need to tweak something though because it's only showing 512MB of RAM when there should be 1GB
<englishm>
First, I want to switch it to a reserved DHCP lease though. It seems to really want to keep the first one it got.

<yomimono>
oh hey, good eye; I didn't notice the RAM discrepancy.
<yomimono>
I was thinking it might be something hard-set for the Cubieboard2 and not tweaked in the setup, but it looks like that board also ships with 1Gb, so that's not it.
<tlockney>
philtom: planning to write more on this by any chance?
<philtom>
tlockney: As I run into issues, I guess. Now I'm going to focus on trying to get my mqtt_client running under mirage so that'll probably be the focus of future posts.
<tlockney>
philtom: fair enough
<philtom>
had to port my mqtt_client from Async -> Lwt first, though.
<tlockney>
ah
<philtom>
Now that that's done, I need to abstract out all of the Unixy parts
<tlockney>
philtom: besides the issues you ran into, how do you like the board?
<englishm>
philtom: thanks! I'll take a look at this. I was able to get the mirage hello world (console) working last night, but had network issues trying to spin up an Ubuntu DomU.
<philtom>
the board is nice. Definitely has more power than an RPi.

And it seems to have a SATA interface so you can hook up SATA devices to it.
<englishm>
Yes. It does. It is a nice board.
<tlockney>
nice. would love to get something more beefy than the pi
<philtom>
yeah, I looked at the bananapi as well, but went with the cubie because that's what people seem to be using for mirage
<englishm>
yep. community support is big. I hadn't heard of the bananapi before now. Might try it down the road, but wanted to get started on something well-known.
<philtom>
Also, the cubiebord2 that I got came with a case, which is kind of handy. Had to buy one for the RPi.
<philtom>
(it's not the greatest case ever, but it does the job)
<englishm>
We have a makerbot at the office, so I'm planning to print a case for mine.
<englishm>
philtom: you mention removing the mac from the vif configuration - did you have trouble with that being set?
<englishm>
also, what mac did you end up getting for that interface when you spun it up?
<philtom>
englishm: I just didn't use the mac as I figured the one in the generated xl comment probably wasn't right. And it didnt' seem like it was needed according to the Thomas Leonard blog post I had read.
<philtom>
I guess I could've just used ifconfig to figure out what the mac address was.
<philtom>
did you need a mac address?

well, when I tried last night to spin up a Linux DomU, it seemed to screw up my SSH connection to Dom0 and bump it off the network
avsm has quit [Quit: Leaving.]
<englishm>
so I was theorizing that it might have tried to use the same mac and get another lease from my router
<englishm>
I'm afraid to spin up any more DomU's w/ networking until I have a better understanding of how the vifs are configured
<englishm>
I was working from this: openmirage.org/wiki/xen-on-cubieboard2#LinuxDomU using a prebuilt cubieboard2 sd card image
<philtom>
Yeah, the prebuilt cubieboard2 image should work. What I did was setup to use DHCP instead of the hardcoded 10.0.0.2 address that mirage wanted.
rgrinberg has joined #mirage
<philtom>
but your config.ml has to be setup to getenv the DHCP env variable and then do something based on that.
<philtom>
You said you got the hello world example going, right?
<englishm>
I did, but that doesn't use any networking
<englishm>
one thing that was weird about it though is that it hung after "hello\nworld\nhello" but then printed more after I tapped on the keyboard a bit
