08:26 PM robotustra: ferdna: what is your question
08:26 PM ferdna: robotustra, ohh great!
08:26 PM ferdna: i would to achieve this:
08:26 PM ferdna: ( 1 sec )
08:26 PM ferdna: Buildroot
08:27 PM robotustra: no garantee that I give you correct answer, but I'll try
08:27 PM ferdna: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Fjfqz6FxC8
08:28 PM robotustra: was thinking about this model http://imgur.com/irtpeGU

08:28 PM robotustra: no, I'm going to make one
08:29 PM ferdna: ohhh cool...
08:29 PM ferdna: https://github.com/gamaral/rpi-buildroot
08:29 PM robotustra: do you want to boot raspbery pi fast?
08:29 PM ferdna: yes
08:29 PM ferdna: just like that video
08:29 PM ferdna: boot into the program
08:30 PM robotustra: you want to build in your program into boot image?
08:30 PM ferdna: hmmm probably... what ever is best
08:31 PM robotustra: first I would try just to make linux boot fast
08:31 PM robotustra: 2) attach the program
08:32 PM ferdna: that repo i posted is his code
08:32 PM ferdna: for that video
08:32 PM ferdna: however i dont know what i am doing
08:32 PM ferdna: i understand i have to make a toolchain
08:33 PM robotustra: what is your host OS at your PC?
08:33 PM ferdna: slackware linux x64
08:33 PM orlock: lies
08:33 PM orlock: nobody runs slackware
08:34 PM robotustra: uname -a
08:35 PM robotustra: ferdna: run command in your console : uname -a
08:35 PM ferdna: Linux prometheus1 4.4.6 #2 SMP Wed Mar 16 14:17:03 CDT 2016 x86_64 Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU 965 @ 3.20GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux
08:36 PM ferdna: orlock, i am a package mantainer for this distro
08:36 PM orlock: fuck, i'm sorry
08:36 PM orlock: i'm so very very sorry
08:36 PM orlock: i hope it gets better
08:37 PM robotustra: ferdna: so 1) you have to install buildroot
08:37 PM ferdna: is the best distro out there
08:37 PM ferdna: orlock, ^
08:37 PM robotustra: out there - it's where?
08:37 PM orlock: eh, i used it for a bit
08:37 PM orlock: about 20 years ago
08:37 PM orlock: then i decided to move onto an OS with real QA and a working package manager
08:38 PM robotustra: ferdna: did you installed it?
08:38 PM ferdna: orlock, what are you running now?
08:38 PM orlock: too much crap to count
08:38 PM ferdna: robotustra, not yet... i must understand what i am doing first
08:38 PM orlock: to much to remember
08:40 PM robotustra: 1) install toolchain 2) build an image of buildroot 3) split SD card on 2 partitions 4) write buildroot to this SD card according to instructions
08:42 PM robotustra: 5) boot your Rpi with this SD card (and write it to internal flash)
08:42 PM ferdna: cool
08:43 PM robotustra: after that RPi supposed to boot in fast mode
08:48 PM ferdna: i need to learn a little more on the toolchain
08:49 PM robotustra: yeah, it looks like big instruction there
08:49 PM robotustra: but it's neede just to build your buildroot
08:50 PM robotustra: it can be used as a blackbox
10:19 PM rue_house: 8:
