**NSLU2** means *Network Storage Link for USB 2.0 Disk Drives*. Also see [here](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NSLU2).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Custom firmwares
|
||||||
|
================
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The NSLU2 supports different firmwares. The original one is rather outdated. The most used firmwares are:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* *Unslung* --- an add-on to the original firmware, keeping the web-interface and all standard features
|
||||||
|
* *SlugOS/BE* --- a firmware optimized for small devices; using `opkg` and `ipkg` you can install various applications/services
|
||||||
|
* *Debian/NSLU2* --- a stripped down Debian linux with all things you know from Debian, but packages are not optimized for small memory devices
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
SlugOS/BE
|
||||||
|
---------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Bad network performance
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
My network consists of a WLAN repeater which bridges the network of my neighbor with mine. Access to the Internet is provided
|
||||||
|
by a gateway in my neighbor's network. The NSLU2 device has severe problems downloading files from the Internet. All downloads
|
||||||
|
stall after a few bytes. Some tests showed that my side of the network works fine but everything behind the WLAN bridge is
|
||||||
|
almost unreachable from the NSLU2. All other devices in my network can use the Internet fine.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
My current solution is using [tcpwatch-httpproxy](apt://tcpwatch-httpproxy) on my Desktop-PC and a file `~/.wgetrc` on my NSLU2
|
||||||
|
with the contents:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
timeout = 10
|
||||||
|
http_proxy = <my IP>:8080
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Debian/NSLU2
|
||||||
|
------------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Power button for shutdown instead of reboot
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
To make pushing the power button shut down the Slug instead of rebooting it, edit the file `/etc/inittab` and replace the
|
||||||
|
line
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
ca:12345:ctrlaltdel:/sbin/shutdown -t1 -a -r now
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
by
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
ca:12345:ctrlaltdel:/sbin/shutdown -t1 -a -h now
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Afterwards do a
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
telinit q
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Free memory
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Since ARM packages from Debian are not optimized for small memory footprint, you might want to free up some memory by
|
||||||
|
deactivating several services which are not needed.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
#### bash
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
To save even more memory, you could replace `bash` by `dash` in your `/etc/passwd` file.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
#### exim4
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Exim4 is a complete mail exchanger. Most people will only need a simple MTA to send some logs to the admin. So
|
||||||
|
remove `exim4` and use `ssmtp` instead.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
#### getty
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If you don't have/use the serial console on the NSLU2, you should disable `getty`. Edit the file `/etc/inittab` and
|
||||||
|
comment out the following line:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
#T0:23:respawn:/sbin/getty -L ttyS0 115200 linux
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Afterwards do a
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
telinit q
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
#### ipv6
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If you don't use IPv6, you should blacklist the kernel module to save some more RAM. Add the following line
|
||||||
|
to `/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist`:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
blacklist ipv6
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
#### sshd
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If you don't use *sshfs* or some other special features of *OpenSSH*, you could replace it by `dropbear`.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Emergency firmware
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If your DebianSlug doesn't boot and the root disk is perfectly clean, you might have a firmware problem. To create
|
||||||
|
a working firmware, you'll need the files `vmlinuz-2.6.30-2-ixp4xx`, `initrd.img-2.6.30-2-ixp4xx`[^1] and the [di-nslu2.bin](http://www.slug-firmware.net/d-dls.php) (the DebianSlug installer image).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
1. make sure you have installed the packages [slugimage](apt://slugimage) and [devio](apt://devio)
|
||||||
|
1. copy the `di-nslu2.bin` to an empty directory and run this:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
slugimage -u -i di-nslu2.bin
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
1. now copy the two other files also in that directory
|
||||||
|
1. prepare the kernel image: (This will pad the file to 1441760 Bytes and then switch the [Endianess](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endianess) of the file.)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
dd if=vmlinuz-2.6.30-2-ixp4xx of=vmlinuz-2.6.30-2-ixp4xx.padded ibs=1441760 conv=sync
|
||||||
|
devio "<<"vmlinuz-2.6.30-2-ixp4xx.padded > vmlinuz-2.6.30-2-ixp4xx.swapped "xp $,4"
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
1. prepare the initrd image:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
dd if=initrd.img-2.6.30-2-ixp4xx of=initrd.img-2.6.30-2-ixp4xx.padded ibs=6291440 conv=sync
|
||||||
|
devio "<<"initrd.img-2.6.30-2-ixp4xx.padded > initrd.img-2.6.30-2-ixp4xx.swapped "xp $,4"
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
1. now compile the new firmware image:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
slugimage -p -b RedBoot -s SysConf -L apex.bin -k vmlinuz-2.6.30-2-ixp4xx.swapped -r initrd.img-2.6.30-2-ixp4xx.swapped -t Trailer -o debianslug.bin
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Finally you only have to burn the new image to the NSLU2 using [upslug2](apt://upslug2):
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
upslug2 -i debianslug.bin
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If you want to make changes to the `initrd`, take a look at [cyrius.com](http://www.cyrius.com/debian/nslu2/repack.html).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**UPDATE:** Here is a little script which does the above in a more comfortable way. Just throw it into the directory
|
||||||
|
together with the `di-nslu2.bin`, the `initrd.img-2.xxx` and `vmlinuz-2.xxx`. Download: [emergencyfw.sh]({{ site.url }}/assets/emergencyfw.sh)

||||||

|
||||||

|
||||||
|
[iStat](http://bjango.com/apps/istat/) is an app for the *iPhone* to show performance statistics of different machines.
|
||||||
|
I compiled their [iStat Server](http://code.google.com/p/istatd/) on my Slug and made a little DEB package.

There are quite a few messenger applications out there. Most people prefer *BeeJive* or *IM+* - not only because they
|
||||||
|
promise you to keep you online 24 hours a day - even without having the application open on your iPhone.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Privacy issues
|
||||||
|
==============
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Since until today, no application can stay "online" in the background (i.e., if you push the home button on the phone,
|
||||||
|
the current active application will be closed) this means, that BeeJive or ShapeServices (IM+) keep you logged
|
||||||
|
in **through one of their servers**. This also means that every conversation runs through their servers.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||

(You need a [jailbroken]({% post_url 2009-06-20-jailbreak %}) iPhone for this.)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
xGPS is a navigation system which uses Google Maps for routing and display of the map. It can download map tiles
|
||||||
|
for offline use and can use the "normal" map as well as the terrain map of Google Maps. Your current position is
|
||||||
|
shown centered together with your route and you'll get turn-by-turn directions from a synthetic voice. It can
|
||||||
|
recalculate the route if you get off it.

||||||

The first official turn-by-turn navigation in the AppStore. Currently only supports the USA. People living in
|
||||||
|
Illinois might have to buy both parts (Western/Eastern USA; $20 each) as Illinois is split into two parts which
|
||||||
|
were distributed on both maps.

========
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Founded by previous Navigon employees, this app is not only really reasonably priced but also has always
|
||||||
|
up-to-date maps. The only drawback is that you need a data connection (UMTS, WLAN) for it to work. So you should
|
||||||
|
have a flat-rate plan for the areas you drive.

================
|

|
|

Both seem to be great but also expensive. IMHO if you prefer these two, buy a real device as it then allows you
|
||||||
|
to make phone calls AND get to where you want.

If the iPhone would support Java Midlets, this one might be interesting. Completely free and based on
|
||||||
|
OpenStreetMap. Maybe it would work with [alcheMo](http://www.innaworks.com/alcheMo-for-iPhone.html), a J2ME
|
||||||
|
to C++ converter. But if you have a "normal" phone with Java support and a memory card, this one is for you.

This should be a list of apps I use for specific tasks and why I use them:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Banking
|
||||||
|
=======
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* [iOutbank](http://www.outbank.de/)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The free version allows access to all accounts you can reach with one ID. For me, this includes both of my accounts. What do you want more?
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Birthdays
|
||||||
|
=========
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* [Occasions](http://handcarvedcode.com/occasions/)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Read all descriptions for apps of this kind and decided that this one is the most powerful. Notifies you of upcoming birthdays,
|
||||||
|
anniversaries or any other events from your Contacts and you can also add your own events. You can also load holidays for your
|
||||||
|
country and get notified when you can stay in bed.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Messenger
|
||||||
|
=========
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* [Beejive](http://www.beejive.com/)
|
||||||
|
* [IM+](http://www.shapeservices.com/en/products/details.php?product=im)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
I'm currently evaluating both. *Beejive* looks nicer, but *IM+* has Skype support. As I am no avid messenger, I can't tell
|
||||||
|
about stability for now.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* [OneTeam](http://www.process-one.net/en/solutions/oneteam_iphone/)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Looks like the best for Jabber/XMPP but is extremely instable if there are any connection errors. But it looks nice and
|
||||||
|
supports all kinds of XMPP-Transports.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Music
|
||||||
|
=====
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* [PlugPlayer](http://plugplayer.com/) (UPnP) and [Shoutcast](http://blog.shoutcast.com/2009/01/09/announcing-the-shoutcast-radio-app-for-iphone-and-ipod-touch/) (Internet Radio)
|
||||||
|
* also compared: *iMediaSuite* (UPnP)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Since *Shoutcast* is THE online directory for radio streams, there was no comparison against other apps for this.
|
||||||
|
*iMediaSuite* was already a "no go" after reading the reviews. I tried it and it crashed trying to read the contents of
|
||||||
|
my UPnP server. *PlugPlayer* however worked fine and even shows album art.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Task Management
|
||||||
|
===============
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* [Toodledo](http://www.toodledo.com/info/iphone.php)
|
||||||
|
* also compared: *Remember The Milk*, *Appigo ToDo*
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
I wanted a tasks app which syncs with some online database. I was happily using RTM for some time together with
|
||||||
|
*Gnome Do* and directly per web. When looking around for some iPhone app I realized, that both iPhone apps need
|
||||||
|
a $25/yr Pro account for the synchronization to work. As I don't use this so extensively to justify this yearly
|
||||||
|
costs, I looked for alternatives.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Toodledo almost works the same, even a touch better I think. And for the iPhone app you just pay once - without
|
||||||
|
needing a subscription at their site.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Twitter
|
||||||
|
=======
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* [Twittelator Pro](http://www.stone.com/Twittelator/)
|
||||||
|
* also compared: *Tweetie*, *Twitterrific Premium*, some free apps
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
*Twitterrific* has a nice feature-set but is too far away from the iPhone Look&Feel. *Tweetie* was hyped everywhere
|
||||||
|
as THE Twitter client for the iPhone, but compared to the recent version of *Twittelator*, it has to catch up now.
|
||||||
|
The latter one got my money because of the vast features which are all easily accessible. The automatic preview of
|
||||||
|
tweeted pictures is just icing on the cake.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Voice Dial
|
||||||
|
==========
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* [Fonix iSpeak](http://www.fonixspeech.com/)
|
||||||
|
* also compared: most other voice dial apps
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The goal was to get a voice dial feature which doesn't send my voice or contact's names to some server for processing.
|
||||||
|
From the reviews I learned that this is a slow process and it takes several seconds until the voice is analyzed and
|
||||||
|
the results are downloaded back to the iPhone. Another goal was to have some automatic recognition which doesn't need
|
||||||
|
to be trained. Using these criteria there was only one app left: *Fonix iSpeak*. Now if they'd only add more features
|
||||||
|
like [Voice Command for Windows Mobile](http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/en-us/downloads/microsoft/about-voice-command.mspx) has.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
