Why don't you call in sick today? That'd give you plenty of time to work on it.

Not sure if I'll be able to play with this at work, but if I have any downtime I certainly will. Thanks again!

Heh, I wish. I don't get sick days .

I wonder if this PC can handle an ubuntu vm...

The only good news is that i got kexec bootling new test kernels. This is good so i dont need to wipe nand all the time to test a new kernel build.

nate: any luck on your smaller busybox ?

Well, I've compiled a couple of smaller busyboxes, but I haven't tested if it works since the new partition table isn't working for me (although, now I'm thinking it might boot if I did because I think it is a space thing)

The ULDR partition was changed to RAWFS, and the XIP partition was zero-ed out. The problem with this is that the ULDR partition is smaller than the XIP partition. As it stands now, we only have 3196 KB of space to work with instead of 3456 KB. Also, the last track is set to 18 when I believe it should be 1B.

I'm working on all the math right now to build another partition table. I'll see what I can do, but the wife has been dragging me around everywhere lately. Not sure what her deal is, but she's been getting on me lately for spending too much time messing with the phone...

Edit: Well, maybe the smaller busybox is what we need. I did the math out, and 3196 KB is exactly what we are setting with XIP ending at 2FF000 and adding the 128 KB partition table to it. In any case, I'll try to play with this as I get time.

Lol my wife is the same way right now too... but have to keep them happy.

Nate can you up your table... or more of your math. Remebmer the magic number is 64.

Everyone's wife/girlfriend revolting? Hmm... This middle east agitation is contagious it seems. Power to the people!

I'll build my vm again and build the dev environment.

I feel I could be more of an help if I could learn and tear it all down. Maybe learn some code here or there. (Maybe)

So I'll be doing that here tonight and probably need some slight help getting it all going.

[MassStash]

just install ubuntu in windows or something man....


the girl problems presume are because we really need this nand to pop off to let us dev on droid more native. so i guessing once the nand hump has been demolished, things'll prolly slow back down a bit.
