did anyone get time to check gentoo cross compiling?
<zear>
sid_on, i used gentoo cross compilation for jornada 720
<zear>
while it is quite handy, i'd rather go with a normal, independent toolchain, that is tuned to work with the exact hardware you want to compile for
<sid-user>
zear: yeaa; main OS is wrt; its like debian just a alternative system
<sid-user>
zear: i think at the moment i'am alone which is a bit frustating
<sid_on>
zear: maybe you want to try it; 'overlay' is a bit outdated because i recompile everything from scratch but it should work
<zear>
nah, i have a bad experience with crosscompiling with gentoo
<sid_on>
its a mess but most problems are layer 8;
<sid_on>
most problems are already solved
<sid_on>
--> at the moment it does not boot anymore; something is wrong with /dev - for comment
<nebajoth>
y halo thar.

Well, I got the ks7010 driver working.. couldn't figure out how to stop it from writing to the console every second. I came up with a fix, though. So, if anyone wants to save a lot of time. Just edit "/etc/sysctl.conf" and add the line: "kernel.printk = 3 4 1 3"
<wpwrak>
jxself: take a week off ? :)
<ezdagor>
It will supress "lowlevel messages" to the console.
<jxself>
Perhaps. :)

Anyone know what the "GPIO Matrix" is?
<ezdagor>
I'm trying to get the mouse working, and I came across that in the kernel .config file.
<mth>
ezdagor: might be the matrix keyboard connected to GPIO pins
<ezdagor>
Ah. I see.
<ezdagor>
I also noticed a GSM modem..
<ManoftheSea>
Probably just packages that support hardware on other devices.
<ezdagor>
I'm trying to get a mouse (PS2) working with the NN. I've compiled various PS2 drivers into the kernel, and there appears to be a /dev/psaux, but it doesn't seem usable.
<ezdagor>
At least with gpm.
<rafa>
ezdagor: but how did you plug the mouse to ben?
<rafa>
or how do you plug..
<wpwrak>
kewl. atmel simulated the balun in one of their designs with qucs :)

deplores the absence of test pads for usb host in the ben

hmm, i just opened the display (finally). but i still don't see how to release the hinge :-( i'll need this for the scans in a few days.
