The Update On Todays Work That We Promised

[Jon Chiappetta]

I think my partner in crime messed up in posting the mailing list item we worked on as a
group so here's a quick summary (chat to Chris) until he does so: 

[19:49:50] <ctyler> fjon! What was the status when you guys left this evening?
[20:00:23] <fjon> well sir
[20:00:33] <fjon> i asked jordan to run lsmod on the semi-working builder
[20:00:40] <fjon> and noticed there were no kernel modules loaded
[20:00:52] <fjon> which made sense cause we just threw on the armv7hl kernel without
anything else
[20:01:01] <fjon> so it didnt load those armv5 kernel modules
[20:01:12] <fjon> anyway one of them was the smsc95xx nic card
[20:01:48] <fjon> so im not sure if that solved any possible network conn issues we
were having for softfp cause we also didnt have much time to test it all out
[20:02:04] <fjon> and we typed up a mailing list item about it which i thought
jordan was going to post but i guess he  messed up
[20:02:33] <fjon> so ya, the job for tom is to semi-test the softfp image with the
armv7hl kernel/modules and see if it survives and if so then deploy them as much as
possible
[20:03:02] <fjon> i believe if im correct that is
[20:04:20] <fjon> let me know if you got the msgs above ^^^
[20:04:36] <fjon> i know u have ur little irc inside a vnc setup so u probably will
[20:05:17] <fjon> you should really just write your own multi-client but single
connection irc client from scratch in python
[20:05:32] <fjon> that way you can connect with a password and have your irc session
shared, even via the command line
[20:05:56] <fjon> try to brush up on complex concurrency and
multi-threaded/multi-forked client/server model of processing connections
[20:09:54] <fjon> :)

Do you really mean what that says? A softfp userspace with a hardfp kernel??

Softfp/hardfp doesn't come in to play for the kernel interfaces, just
userland linking.
