06:12 PM Tom_L: what podcast?
06:12 PM Tom_L: aparently i missed it too....
06:13 PM Tom_L: i gave up on the usb on linux
06:13 PM Tom_L: unless you can come up with a solution, i'm done with it
06:19 PM MoonyMoon: rue_bed2: I'm almost there
06:19 PM Tom_L: there's that crazy moon guy..
06:20 PM MoonyMoon: Yeah, what a loose cannon
06:29 PM Tom_L: rue_bed2, how do i get source to a given kernel i have installed?
06:30 PM Tom_L: http://www.jungo.com/st/support/documentation/windriver/11.7.0/wdpci_manual.mhtml/dist_linux.html
06:30 PM Tom_L: may not be what i need but it's a start
06:30 PM MoonyMoon: Tom_L: Debian?
06:30 PM Tom_L: stretch or buster yes
06:31 PM MoonyMoon: apt-get linux-source will get you withing a small subversion if not bang on your current kernel
06:32 PM MoonyMoon: apt-get install linux-source that is :P
06:32 PM Tom_L: where does it put it?
06:32 PM MoonyMoon: /usr/src... ?? leme check
06:33 PM MoonyMoon: yeah
06:33 PM MoonyMoon: /usr/src/linux-source-12.34.56
06:33 PM Tom_L: need root for that?
06:34 PM MoonyMoon: not till install time comes i think
06:34 PM MoonyMoon: need root for apt-get though
06:35 PM Tom_L: i got it
06:35 PM Tom_L: stupid me. eating ice cream when it's 30F out
06:35 PM MoonyMoon: ha, whats the context for needing this kernel source?
06:36 PM Tom_L: xilinx usb driver needs windrvr6
06:36 PM Tom_L: and it's not to be found unless you build it on a per machine basis i think
06:36 PM MoonyMoon: need source to build module against?
06:36 PM Tom_L: i think so
06:36 PM MoonyMoon: ok in that case you might only need the "kernel headers"
06:37 PM MoonyMoon: for building modules
06:37 PM MoonyMoon: not the kernel source
06:37 PM MoonyMoon: maybe
06:38 PM MoonyMoon: linux-headers-3.16.0-10-586 - Header files for Linux 3.16.0-10-586
06:38 PM MoonyMoon: apt-cache search linux-headers
06:39 PM Tom_L: so what are .xz files?
06:39 PM MoonyMoon: compressed archives I think
06:40 PM MoonyMoon: xz-utils - XZ-format compression utilities
06:40 PM MoonyMoon: yup
06:47 PM Tom_L: i doubt i get far with this on my own
06:53 PM Tom_L: lsusb sees the device
06:53 PM Tom_dev: Bus 001 Device 006: ID 03fd:0007 Xilinx, Inc.
07:01 PM Tom_L: ok i found a clue
07:02 PM Tom_L: 2 zipfiles in the linux_drivers weren't unzipped
07:18 PM RonoldoMoon: Tom_L: I could lend you a hand later tonight I think
07:19 PM RonoldoMoon: I should be back later as MoonyMoon
07:21 PM RonoldoMoon: Can you tell me more of what this xilinx thing is
07:21 PM Tom_L: a jtag for xilinx chips
07:21 PM Tom_L: usb
07:21 PM Tom_L: there is a known issue installing this on linux
07:21 PM RonoldoMoon: ok so its like a serial interface
07:21 PM Tom_L: yep
07:22 PM RonoldoMoon: so you maybe want a character device in /dev ???
07:22 PM Tom_L: no
07:22 PM Tom_L: it's a driver issue
07:22 PM RonoldoMoon: yeah but when your driver works, does it give you a character device? how do you use it?
07:23 PM Tom_L: it's for debugging
07:23 PM Tom_L: https://www.xilinx.com/support/documentation/user_guides/ug344.pdf
07:23 PM RonoldoMoon: I understand that to the extent of someone who has never used jtag
07:23 PM RonoldoMoon: ill take a look
07:26 PM RonoldoMoon: Is it just me or does this PDF not really say much
07:26 PM RonoldoMoon: what does dmesg say?
07:28 PM Tom_L: that wasn't really the right pdf
08:13 PM Tom_L: https://askubuntu.com/questions/838260/install-xilinx-platform-usb-in-ubuntu-16-04-x64

08:34 PM Tom_L: rue_mohr, http://tom-itx.no-ip.biz:81/~webpage/rue/windrvr6install.txt
08:34 PM Tom_L: if you get a min, see if you can find the issue there
08:35 PM Tom_L: i have the source
08:36 PM Tom_L: kernel source
09:15 PM Tom_L: don't ever badger windows in front of me!
09:16 PM Tom_L: i am getting closer one step fwd, two steps back
09:16 PM Tom_L: just need to get it to see windrvr6.ko i think
