[Fedora-electronic-lab-list] Your views on "trac on a Livecd " ?
by Chitlesh GOORAH 04 Mar '09

04 Mar '09

Hello there, My intension is to enhance project management (with respect to electronics) experience while designing hardware with FEL. So on the FEL Livedvd which is a marketing medium, I wish to give users an _example_ about how they can use trac and git/svn for hardware development and track the open tickets. Thereby in the quest of improving the hardware design methodologies on FEL, and expanding our marketing portfolio, I wish to hear from you how I can implement such trac/git/svn session on the LiveDVD if I provide some contents (examples) ? Kind regards, Chitlesh

Re: [Fedora-electronic-lab-list] FEL becomes slow in old PCs

FEL is based on Fedora, the OS. But still we/FEL should not forget that our goal is to provide EDA solutions and the OS side is maintained by our colleagues Fedora-KDE and Fedora-devel. It would be wise to precise here that FEL Livedvd does have numerous services disabled compared to the Fedora KDE spin. About LXDE/GNOME/KDE, please don't get me wrong. It is not related to FEL's goals. On Fri, Feb 27, 2009 at 5:38 AM, Tom varghese wrote: > Dear Chitlesh, > I felt it is slow on start up.

(I am a > beginner) You can only use gnome if you have fedora installed. You can't run gnome on the livedvd. yum grouplist you will find gnome desktop then yum group-install "gnome-desktop-as defined by grouplist" Kind regards, Chitlesh

[Fedora-electronic-lab-list] FEL becomes slow in old PCs
by Tom varghese 26 Feb '09

Hi there, I am using Intel pentium 4 PC with 256MB of RAM. Ordinary fedora is not much slow in my computer. But FEL becomes too slow such a way that nothing can be done quickly. Is there any solution? Thanks in advance

[Fedora-electronic-lab-list] openocd fedora SRPM
by Chitlesh GOORAH 24 Feb '09

24 Feb '09

Hello there, I have seen you have a fedora rpm for openocd on your download section. Is it possible for you to provide me with your SRPM please ? I am willing to include it into Fedora and eventually on the Fedora Electronic Lab 11 LiveDVD [1]. I would even be happy if you are willing to package it for fedora and I will guide you through the review process. I think openocd will be a good asset to the Fedora Electronic Lab collection and fulfil my users' needs for embedded design. [1]: http://chitlesh.fedorapeople.org/FEL Kind regards, Chitlesh Goorah

[Fedora-electronic-lab-list] Embedded SIG (continued)
by Alessandro GARDICH 24 Feb '09

24 Feb '09

Hi all I'm interested in Linux Embedded since some years. I talk with Chitlesh at FOSDEM and he invite me to join this mailing list, I join a bit late so I'm re-opening (restarting) this thread. In my opinion what FEL can provide is basically three things : 1) all the companion software need to install specific software 2) provide stable version of well known and most used tools 3) provide pre-configured tools for specific hardware point 1) is about already well done also by standard Fedora, providing all tool necessary to build ourself a toolchain or another, provide bitbake and git to make really simple to and use OpenEmbedded so I think what is maybe missing are just a bounce of packages. point 2) is important for newbies mainly, when you are starting a project, be able to test a new tool just installing some packages can really make the difference. Maybe later when the work become hard could be necessary to not use preconfigured tools but build ourself or use the latest (and unstable) ones ... but at least at the beginning all was easy. point 3) is a step over point 2), I think about two kind of hardware, official dev-boards and cheap ones. Taking Omap3 as an example the OMAP35x Evaluation Module (EVM) and the Beagle Board I'm part of OpenEmbedded project, we try to provide a simple way to develop for embedded devices. Maybe could not be a good solution to provide a lot of similar toolchains for different hardware but can be useful to provide some easy way (script os so) to build toolchains for well known hardware, during FOSDEM was also shown an Eclipse integration with BitBake/OpenEmbedded to facilitate many operations. I'll like to play time to time with small 8bit uC, and have in Fedora packages ready to use for AVR or MSP430 is a great thing! I would like to reach the same level also for small uC ARM board (with eCos or freeRTOS) and maybe also for big devices as BeagleBoard, Neuros OSD2, Nokia N8x0 and more. thanks all -- /------------------------------------------------\ | Alessandro Gardich : gremlin#gremlin!it | >------------------------------------------------< | I never saw a wild thing sorry for itself. | | A small bird will drop frozen dead from a bough | | without ever having felt sorry for itself. | \------------------------------------------------/

Hi, I downloaded Fedora-10-i686-Live-FEL.torrent and downloaded the .iso successfully with bittorrent. But, md5sum of the downloaded image varies with that of the SHA1SUM. Can anyone verify that the SHA1SUM is correct? $ md5sum Fedora-10-i686-Live-FEL/F10-i686-Live-FEL.iso 9116c9c56e302554cc80cb383be1bfaf Fedora-10-i686-Live-FEL/F10-i686-Live-FEL.iso $ cat Fedora-10-i686-Live-FEL/SHA1SUM -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 14a153b4eabe20144dd38614da6d44625416895c *F10-i686-Live-FEL.iso -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFJJaKPvyJvzE6/wnMRAm2MAJ4kOMdgE+N8vgfjESwVLS8LLZvZ9QCgod4A 1R4fKwfFjK66Hwk3PowynfA= =aTCF -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Thanks!

[Fedora-electronic-lab-list] Video Problem during Install
by marcus escobosa 19 Feb '09

19 Feb '09

I have a problem installing FEL due to a video problem. The video works up to the point of selecting the type of installation, and then crashes as it tries to draw the desktop. I can install with the command line option however. Is there a way to select a generic video driver? I have several linux distributions running on my VM (Fedora 3, Centos 5, Suse, Ubuntu, Puppy), this is the first to not work. I'm using Paralles running on a Mac notebook. Thanks -- Marcus Escobosa marcusescobosa(a)gmail.com
