Hi all… I’ll put this in the handbook when I get around to updating that… but in short, those who need to be able to netboot SGI systems from a Windows host, might wish to give tftpd32 a try. I’ve been tinkering with this TFTP server in order to load some ARM-based devices (Ka-Ro TX27s [...]

It has been a long time between drinks for Gentoo/MIPS… but at last, I’ve managed to get something rolling, and hopefully I should have some stages out by the end of the year. What took me so long? A number of packages didn’t want to compile… particularly python-2.6 and gcc-4.4. The former exhibited various compiler [...]
I was just reading back through the posts on Gentoo Universe… and Diego’s post regarding Free Software Washing Machines caught my eye. There are many benefits for why free software firmware would be good… However, you’ve got to convince the marketeers and management of such companies that this is a good idea. This is not [...]
Well, after a long hiatus that must have seemed like an eternity for some, I’m starting to dust off my old MIPS boxes and getting things back up and running again. I’ve shifted positions, and now work at West End as a subcontractor for Jacques Electronics, and so instead of my journey starting from The [...]
Hi all, this is mostly in response to steev’s query in my last post… been meaning to post this up for a while now. CodeSourcery have done some excellent work maintaining the GNU toolchain for the ARM EABI target, among others. They make their money selling and supporting precompiled versions for Win32/i386 and Linux/i386, and [...]
Hi all, This is a short one, as it’s way past my bedtime as I write this. I’ve been quiet lately; non-existent on IRC and IM channels, and not a lot of activity. I’ve been doing a lot of work out at Laidley earning an income, and thus Gentoo has taken a bit of a [...]
Well… it has been a while… No, I haven’t gone AWOL, just been busy with other things for the past few months. I’m now in the process of updating my MIPS boxes so that I can resume testing packages. I now have a stable kernel on my O2 (I nicked Debian’s kernel image… to install [...]
Well… I’ve been busy getting the boxes into shape ready for new stagebuilds and a heap of other activities. I have Firefox 3.5 going on mipsel… albeit a little shakey. I’ve got 99% of KDE 4.3 going also, again, a few glitches. I have turned my attention for the time being to the SGI machines [...]
Well… after much building by one of the older Lemote systems, I finally have a Gentoo desktop with KDE 4.3.0 on the Lemote Yeeloong. I’m still working on the rest of the KDE suite… and will have to track down the necessary bits and pieces for battery monitoring and other goodies… but it seems everything [...]
