Fri May 01 18:50:24 UTC 2015 <danielpbarron> what is the easiest way to make your own fw_printenv ? is this something that come out of the same process that makes the kernel ?
Fri May 01 18:47:56 UTC 2015 <danielpbarron> yeah that's what i'm ircing from
Fri May 01 18:47:13 UTC 2015 <danielpbarron> ah
Fri May 01 18:47:08 UTC 2015 <danielpbarron> yes, so what is the easiest way to get fw_printenv on a new unit ? just copy it over from workstation ? or is it easier to reflash with your own kernel using the stock nandwrite tool
Fri May 01 18:46:21 UTC 2015 <ascii_field> danielpbarron: on stock pogo you need fw_printenv (or serial cable) to get into uboot console
Fri May 01 18:46:13 UTC 2015 <danielpbarron> and can also be used from the OS, but they don't come standard with an unmodified pogo
Fri May 01 18:45:49 UTC 2015 <danielpbarron> those commands are available from within uBoot
Fri May 01 18:45:20 UTC 2015 <trinque> danielpbarron: one of the vars in there sets the boot order
Fri May 01 18:44:11 UTC 2015 <danielpbarron> stock pogo does not come with this tool, but it does come with nandwrite, flash_erase, and flash_eraseall
Fri May 01 18:41:45 UTC 2015 <danielpbarron> http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=29-03-2015#1078941 << how to initially get fw_printenv to tell pogo to boot kernel over TFTP in the future?
Fri May 01 18:25:55 UTC 2015 <mircea_popescu> danielpbarron hey, ask fowler (https://twitter.com/WomenSouthern) if she wants to do a "shit southern women say about bitcoin" sponsored thing ?
Fri May 01 17:10:44 UTC 2015 <davout> danielpbarron ascii_field ah i see, i wasn't aware that alf had a pre-built kernel that's to be used, i'll work from there, also i'll document everything I do, so maybe you won't need to spend time updating your docs
Fri May 01 17:07:14 UTC 2015 <danielpbarron> my documentation needs massive overhaul lol
Fri May 01 17:06:55 UTC 2015 <ascii_field> davout, danielpbarron: to build kernel, see my instructions on the listserv
Fri May 01 17:06:06 UTC 2015 <danielpbarron> davout, i'm not aware of how to do that; i've only ever used ascii's pre-built kernels i think
Fri May 01 17:05:27 UTC 2015 <davout> danielpbarron: which i'm not (doing the serial thing), so it's not very clear to me how to build the kernel and software that'll actually run on the pogo once it's ready
Fri May 01 17:04:51 UTC 2015 <danielpbarron> all you need is to install some sort of TFTP server on your workstation, and use the built in flashing tools of pogo to set some parameters to connect to your workstation when it boots
Fri May 01 17:03:54 UTC 2015 <danielpbarron> davout, only necessary if your doing the serial connection soldering thing
Fri May 01 17:03:39 UTC 2015 <danielpbarron> davout, yeah that's why i'm rewriting; it's about the workstation connecting to pogo
Fri May 01 17:03:17 UTC 2015 <davout> danielpbarron: in your docs, 2.2.2 refer to building a kernel for the workstation talking to the pogo, not building a kernel for the pogo itself, or am i heavily confused?
