Welcome to the Sharp LH79520 deployment script

I found that package 'Device_files.tar.gz' in /opt/Embedix/bdk/lh.../build/tarfiles

The input (devices in 'staging area') were created by a script/package named '../rpmdir/BUILD/MAKEDEV-2.3'.

The tar file contains some valid 'devices' with raw name './dev/stdxxx' and so on.
Almost all devices which are listed by script as 'missing' are shown by 'tar tf Device_files.tar' with './dev/console-' (console device).
They do not get created in /dev (as reported by script).

Whats the point here?

Regards

Rehi,

i traced the missing devices (/dev/console ...) problem further:

chown $5:$6 $1- &&
chmod $7 $1- &&
mv $1- $1
fi
fi
}

The offending line is: "chown $5:$6 $1- &&"
Thats why the command chain (chmod, mv - .) stops there.
If i manually call the command "chmod root:tty console-" i get the dreaded "Value too large for defined data type " error.

After a bit of google a found that this error is due to large file system support stuff.
It seems that the BDK supplied "chown" is not compatible to the underlying host filesystem?

Host: Fedora Core 2

Hi,

I also am getting the exact problem. My system is SuSE 9.1. My co-worker is running Debian and he did not have any problems what so ever.

Has there been any work arounds found yet?

If i do a make -f Makefile deploy using his correctly generated file I get all my devices in /dev (including /dev/console and /dev/fb0 etc) but i then get other errors that he does not get. We have installed using the same commands. The only difference is our systems.

Cheers,
Simon

Hello!

It seems there are more of the supplied "host tools" affected.

I modified the MAKEDEV script to collect more info

find: /bdk/lh79520/tmp/glibc/dev/ttyq8: Value too large for defined data type

From what i've collected so far it might be due to my host systems partitions are formatted with EXT3 filesystem and kernel is 2.6.6.x (FC2).

The file entries might have incompatible data types (for instance the TIMESTAMP is 64 bit) which are not understood by older (libc/glibc) compiled programs (thats why the overflow occurs).

I tried to replace the supplied tools (which reside in /opt/Embedix/bin ... /lib) with the host ones but failed due to incompatible linker signature on dynamic libraries (on windows its called "dll hell" )

I tried to symlink the affected host tools from /bin to /opt/Embedix/bin (which gets later chrooted to /bin) but it failed with "Too many levels of symbolic links".

Did i mention that the /chroot approach of the lineo BDK... su**

Hello again...

Well i replaced the supplied host tools with the original host tools, e.g.:

Quote:

mv /opt/Embedix/bin /opt/Embedix/bin-orig
....
some more (lib, etc, usr, ...)

and

Quote:

cp -r /bin /opt/Embedix/bin
...

The i tried the whole build process again - which looked promising.
Ncurses needs "mawk" (which isnt supplied on FC2 system) so a did a symlink to gawk.

Most of the stuff did build but then i failed: RPM
At the time of making RPM's, the '/opt/Embedix/tools/bin/rpm' version is invoked which chokes badly because of dynamic linker issues (incompatible GLIBC), (i moved (opt/Embedix/lib to /lib-orig before replacing with my host's one)

Its the dreaded dll hell here. The script commands need the newest GLIBC (2.3) in place while some special tools (like the rpm command) need the old /opt/Embedix/lib tree structure.

With ldd and strace i could trace some problems...

I wrote a wrapper test script for the tools rpm invokation like

Quote:

#!/bin/sh
exec /lib-orig/ld-linux.so.2 --library-path /lib-orig /tools/bin/rpm-orig -rcfile /bdk/lh79520/build/rpmdir/rpmrc -bi --buildarch --short-circuit /bdk/lh79520/build/rpmdir/spec

But it didnt work ... it segfaults somewhere.

There must be a way to convince the tools to coexist together even with several (incompatible) versions of GLIBC together!
I cant simply replace the tool's rpm with the host one because if incompatible command switch settings ... maybe its a special (cross compiled??) version.

I now begin to understand the requirement for RH 7/8 ... but our host machine is P4 3.x GHz with HT cpu, SATA ... with all that nifty features not supported by older kernels.

If i would have more time i would drop that dreaded embedix stuff and its dependencies and start using some stock (arm.linux) 2.x kernel... and newer toolchain.

Ok i solved the problem ... steps are described here: http://www.logicpd.com/su.../viewtopic.php?p=701

Hey JadePhoenix,

I hope you are still following this forum. I am using Fedora Core 3 and I am still having some problems. I dont quite get - from this forum - how you figured out that the incompatible files were related to chown, find and md5sum. I guess I am trying to understand your steps towards the solution so that I can solve my problem.

Currently they(LogicPD people) came up with a patch (that includes your solutions), but this patch does not work well with FC3 (at least it did not in my case). I am sure all the neccessary libs are getting copied by the patch. I am still getting the "unable to initialize initial console" error.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks.
