There's a good chance your /tmp issue is not permissions,
but a lack of /tmp being mounted. If your hostowner

The most effective way I've found to build from sources is to use
mercurial. The second most effective way is replica.
I have found I quite enjoy building from and hacking on a sources tree
backed by mercurial. YMMV.

You might want to look at /tmp, you may not have a writable one from
the login. Executing "ramfs" normally takes care of that issue.
I saw the "ratrace.c" error this early morning, but it seems to have
been transient. I guess you ought to try a second time, by then somebody

Not somthing as trivial as you have no /tmp? (its usually bound to $home/tmp in

I was giving that a shot, but get a few errors. Looks like it's not pulling

there is a pull script in glenda
if you have a login on sources with the same user-id as your plan9,
your factotum should use your sources credentials to log in; otherwise
something like:
% 9fs sources
should just work. i think this is also true of bootes id.

If he's missing 5a there are probably other bits missing, too, so:
cd /sys/src
objtype = arm
mk install
is a safer bet.
Sorry, the second line of my recipe should be

Hi,
My attempt to (belatedly) follow the instructions below has been
hindered by the fact that I don't seem to have the arm assembler 5a on
my i386 plan 9 system.
ls /bin/?c yields lots of compilers
ls /bin/?a yields only 0a and 8a.
Is 5a supposed to be there by default or should I build it fro

The Bitsy does it all for NOR flash but sadly NAND flash is more
problematic. NAND flash is cheap and easy for the hardware guys (and

Thank you. It is compiling OK now.

Sorry, I'd forgotten to push /sys/src/9/kw/sdscsi.c to sources.
It's fixed now.
I tried compiling 9plug kernel and got an error:
mk: no recipe to make 'sdscsi.5' in directory /sys/src/9/kw
Do I need to copy /sys/src/9/pc/sdscsi.c , or edit plug conf file?
That's great.
no progress here so far on that front.
It's still on my todo list but not on the top of the stack.
If it's urgent for anyone, let me know.

usb has advanced a little; we can see usb devices now but attempts to
read or write them hang. I don't know of progress on flash access or
anything else.
Has any new work gone into getting the flash, usb, &c working? I was planning on
buying one soon and was wondering about the state of the port.

I just rediscovered that aux/timesync seems to freeze the stock 9plug
kernel. I don't yet know why. I worked around it weeks ago in
/bin/cpurc with this:
if (! ~ $sysname feared openrd) # timesync seems to kill /sys/src/9/sheeva
if(! ps|grep -s timesync) {
aux/timesync -n pool.ntp.org
/acme/bin/arm is already in the distribution. It's empty because we
only ship binaries for the 386 architecture (and that's only so that
installations can bootstrap themselves using PCs). You might want to
add to my earlier instructions:
cd /acme
objtype=arm mk install
i am eager to try the port. can someone tell me where i can order the plug?

If you run replica/pull (or have done so recently), you'll find a new
kernel subtree, /sys/src/9/kw, which contains a basic port of Plan 9
to the Sheevaplug, derived from the port of native Inferno. 9plug is
