We didn’t see that one coming! FroYo PoC for A7HT

Wednesday, November 17th, 2010

At least for me personally it came out of nowhere, but it seems like theplague managed to get FroYo working well enough with the ancient kernel that runs on the A7HT.

There is an Proof of Concept image by him for you to try. For convenience I’ve uploaded it to the openAOS server.

Discussion about it will mostly happen on the associated ArchosFans forum thread.

Keep in mind. This is proof of concept! It might as well bite your dog, kill your cat and steal your money, so don’t complain if you install it and it actually does. ;)

Cheers

Thomas

PS: Please note that this is not an openAOS project so far.

Sorry we were down due to network issues

Friday, September 10th, 2010

When we moved to our temporary location last week, we used an loaned GBIC for the fiber connection. A Converter that was supposed to replace that sadly had the wrong type and didn’t work when we had to give the GBIC back. Now a friend was so kind to find and loan us an GBIC and we are now back online. Hopefully for good.

We apologize, again, for the inconvenience.

We’re back!

Friday, September 3rd, 2010

Sorry the downtime lasted way longer than anticipated.

But now we should be able to run the servers in an even better environment.

We apologize again for the inconvenience!

Stay tuned for FroYo Alpha1 real soon now!

PS: Some notes from our server migration:

  • BEWARE of cgroups-bin on debian! It breaks lxc! Mount cgroups manually or through fstab!
    (The error message in this context was ‘lxc-start: No such file or directory – failed to rename cgroup /mnt/cgroups/cpu/20945->/mnt/cgroups/cpu/openaos’ – once we purged cgroups-bin it worked instantly)

Heads up! Server down-time ahead!

Wednesday, September 1st, 2010

For certain reasons the location where our servers are will be inaccessible for some time. We have arranged for a temporary housing location but the servers need to move physically and the network routing has to be switched to the new location.

We expect a downtime of 1-3h duration on Friday (2010-09-03) if everything goes according to plan. Will begin not later than 11:00 UTC.

If it doesn’t it may very well take until Monday, but let’s hope for the best..

This post will be updated with an more acurate time estimate if we receive further information.

None of the openpma.org or openaos.org services will be available during the time. Sorry, we don’t have the resources to arrange for uninterrupted service.

We apologize for the inconvenience!

update: We have feedback from the NOC. It looks good. Most likely moving physically will take longer than switching the routing.
update2: Duration and beginning updated. For status updates (not only during the downtime ;-) ) please check  our twitter feed

update: *fanfare* … and the grand prize for solving our little crypto-mystery goes to Neuromancien! Congratulations!

PS: This AES key let’s you unpack AOS update files. It however does not allow you to sign update files, for that there is an (already known) RSA key for which the private key is a well kept secret. But that is an solved problem, you just ignore it. How? Find out soon, same place, same station.
