[14:14:53] <lukas2511> hello!
[14:15:35] <iafo1> Is there anybody expert of archlinux on olimex imx233?
[14:18:42] <lukas2511> maybe you should just ask specific questions
[14:35:26] <tkoskine> I have plenty of imx233 boards, but all of them run either Debian, buserror's minifs, or NetBSD. (Also, I mostly use just Ethernet + serial console; no idea how audio or video works, for example.)
[14:45:49] <xcasex> iafo1: what seems to be the issue?
[14:48:22] <iafo1> I simply need imx233 working with wifi, usb-rs232 converter and able to install software like rsync. Updated version of archlinux I find on the website of archlinux has problems with wifi
[14:49:06] <iafo1> after I setup wpa_supplicant the available RAM start devreasing untill it crashes
[14:49:55] <iafo1> I also tried with older versions of archlinux but in that case it is impossible to install new software like rsync
[14:50:40] <iafo1> which distribution of linux do you suggest me to use? where can I find it?
[14:53:10] <iafo1> tkoskine: I would use Debian, where can I find an updated image for the SD card or when can I find the instructions to build it?
[14:57:31] <xcasex> i use arch on my imx233 nanos
[14:57:39] <xcasex> but that seems dodgy tho
[14:58:08] <xcasex> which board is it?
[14:58:10] <iafo1> dodgy tho?
[14:58:34] <iafo1> I have imx233 maxi and mini-wifi
[14:58:39] <xcasex> yeah wpa-sup should tell you why its crashing.
[15:00:06] <iafo1> how can I read why it's craching? sorry but I am not expert of software and computer programming...
[15:02:47] <xcasex> dmesg
[15:02:56] <xcasex> going through the logs in /var/log etc
[15:06:30] <adj_> tkoskine, do you kno how difficult could be to run OpenBSD on imx233 olinuxino?
[15:06:42] <iafo1> ok...
[15:07:11] <iafo1> so, you don't suggest me to use OpenBSD on imx233, right?
[15:08:41] <adj_> no, I want to run openbsd, so I asked tkoskine because he/she is using netbsd
[15:10:48] <iafo1> ah, ok
[15:16:34] <iafo1> [ 6575.680000] net_ratelimit: 71796 callbacks suppressed [ 6575.690000] smsc95xx 1-1.1:1.0 eth0: kevent 2 may have been dropped
[15:17:56] <iafo1> since I plugged the wifi in the imx233 and started the netctl profile I got many messages like these
[15:18:12] <iafo1> but don't seem related to wifi....
[15:42:07] <tkoskine> adj_: You need to create a new port for OpenBSD. Probably takes a month or so. (I assume kapu could do it faster, since he created the NetBSD port. ;) )
[15:44:59] <adj_> tkoskine, how much ram uses netbsd compared to debian?
[15:47:16] <tkoskine> I don't remember the stats and I don't have access to my imx233 devices right now.
[15:55:21] <adj_> ok, thanks
