12:06.42A0Shedsspecing: stm32 part number for what?
12:12.09specingthe IO controller
12:12.18specingthe RTEMS/whatever thing
12:13.08A0Shedsthere are several designs, anything in particular you are looking for?
12:14.58specingYes, the stm32 (I think I was told it is going to be used) part number planned for the IO boards
12:17.44*** join/#arm-netbook hipboi (~hipboi@222.50.111.138)
12:18.43specingOr is it still undecided?
12:19.17A0Shedsit depends on the board and application, there is not a one size fits all solution
12:20.15A0Shedsthere are over 100 to choose from just between ST and NXP
12:23.50specingheh
12:24.17specingBut it was decided that RTEMS will be put on there?
12:25.53A0Shedsyou are free to choose whatever
12:26.20A0Shedsthey also run without an RTOS
12:30.04specingah ok

13:50.11dev__I have been reading the progress from you guys in irclog2html on rikers.net, and I have a few questions
13:50.46brokencodessorry, forgot to /nick
13:51.37*** join/#arm-netbook hno (~hno@squid/developer/hno)
13:51.59brokencodesmy first question, in regards to Allwinner A10, is have you managed to get video with the 3.3 kernel? or am I stuck with 2.6.36-38?
13:52.44brokencodesmy second question, is with the linaro xf86-video-mali driver, does it have hardware acceleration support?
13:53.27brokencodesand my third question, are the video playback blobs for OpenMAX, or some other API?
14:05.22mnemocabout q1, I haven't had time to finish porting the "video" drivers to 3.0, can share a diff for the current work, but those are v4l2 drivers... I suppose it could be tried to get a dumb framebuffer using the g2d driver which compiles without issues. the 3.3 branch is still limited to the core functionality
14:05.41mnemocI have nothing to say about the other 2
14:06.01brokencodesOk
14:06.14brokencodesis there any work I can do, I comment like I'm crazy
14:06.21brokencodesadd a ?
14:06.45brokencodesthank you for your prompt answer
14:07.44brokencodesare you working on a DVB-X project? is that why you working on the v4l2 drivers?
14:08.47mnemocafter finishing porting the sound and v4l2 drivers in the 3.0 branch I was going to prepare a .deb to use with ubuntu-oneiric/linaro out of it
14:10.28mnemocI'm working on those drivers because they are in the 2.6.36 tree and they need to be adapted to compile in the 3.0. simply that
14:11.32mnemoconce everything is working in the 3.0 kernel I can continue doing the same to 3.3, then 3.4, and then master for mainlining
14:42.11lkclA0Sheds: bizarre

15:02.29hnomnemoc, we do not need the v4l parts. Those are for video-in.
15:02.49hnotablets may need it for the camera however.
15:04.07mnemocthey exist for a reason, and I don't really have any use for this hardware beside gaining kernel-related experience.. that's why I want to get the ported
15:06.26mnemocI have the sound part almost finished. the v4l2 part is still above me.... but it will fall

16:01.15mnemoc... but anyone is highly welcomed to try the 3.0 kernel as it is :)
16:04.51A0Shedslkcl: well with google's EC code, the just posted RTEMS patch for stm32, Uwe's stm32 open libs and the OLPC openEC there is a lot less to do
16:05.44A0Shedslkcl: pretty much all there is now is optimizing tinyRTEMS for small devices and any new peripheral drivers
16:37.45zenitraMoh, people in forocoches are organizing a group buying for the mele a2000 without knowing exactly what will they use it for.
16:38.22mnemocMaDMaLKaV: ----^
16:39.03zenitraMhttp://www.forocoches.com/foro/showthread.php?t=2703328
16:41.48traeakahh the mele 2000 is now available?
16:42.08zenitraMhipboi is already selling it on aliexpress
16:42.12traeakahh goo
16:43.02traeakbtw, i was shocked....on a laptop i replaced the dvd drive with a caddy/1TB drive.  The shock was that this 1TB 2.5" 9.5mm drive gets 110MB/s sustained.  My fastest 3.5" drives only get 115MB/s
16:43.19traeakhave to see what the mele can sustain
16:43.48zenitraMless size -> less physical space between sectors -> faster head movements
16:44.25traeakthat's what i'm thinking as well...the platter density bumps the block transfer rates
16:45.18traeaki guess these damn laptop manufacturers put pure shit into their drivers.  all the laptops i have the drives they ship with fastest is 40MB/s
16:45.23traeaki mean drives, not drivers

20:23.55MaDMaLKaVmnemoc , thanks for the info, but I already have the a1000, not need of getting the 2000
20:24.45mnemocMaDMaLKaV: the pointer was because you mentioned you had someone wanting to make a larger scale deal with mele
20:25.34MaDMaLKaVI have someone interested in the mele if it gets to run xbmc.
20:25.46MaDMaLKaVsincerely, I don't like android on tv at all, they don't like it either
20:26.13mnemoc:)
20:26.14MaDMaLKaVit is not a top priority project or something like that, is more the guys on the company love xbmc and will love to see a good cheap arm box running it
20:26.35MaDMaLKaVand it is a really small company, can't afford to hire some guys to "just port it"
20:30.06A0Shedsafter looking at the Mele, there might be a business in just supplying oems with Linux services
20:30.33traeaksadly android has a pretty big ecosystem nowadays
20:30.43traeaki guess better than apple or ms gobbling everything up
20:30.52MaDMaLKaVA0Sheds , yeah, but normal problems still apply: sources availabilty and licensing
20:31.19MaDMaLKaVwe have info on the video decoding but probably can't compile it against xbmc because of licensing issues, for example
20:31.20traeakcodec licensing, h264, mp4 aren't cheap
20:31.27traeaki think mpeg2 is the most expensive
20:32.19MaDMaLKaVthe device already plays all of them, the problem is making it out of the android embedded player and into a OSS player
20:32.27A0Shedsoh, you download those from the severs in dirkadirkastan  :)
20:32.32MaDMaLKaVgod, I'm tired
20:32.39MaDMaLKaVI'm going to bed in no time
20:33.12A0Shedswhere does ubuntu and fedora keep the unfree codecs?
20:37.21MaDMaLKaVA0Sheds , no idea
20:38.23mnemocA0Sheds: look for packages named 'restricted'
20:38.49mnemocin ubuntu, no clue about fedora
20:41.31hnoA0Sheds, Fedora do not keep unfree codeds, or anything else non-free or patent encumbered. But there is rpmfusion and a number of other third-party repositories that contanins such items.
20:42.12hnoFedora being a RedHat sponsored project can not legally touch any of those.
20:43.32A0Shedshno: the non-free repos hosted elsewhere
20:43.58A0Shedssee my point?
20:47.04traeaki barely recall the rpi guys saying h264 is like .65USD
20:47.18traeakmpeg2 was ungodly expensive...maybe 12usd or something?
20:48.06A0Shedssounds about what i recall
21:02.57MaDMaLKaVnite all
21:03.55traeakwell today h264 is still more cpu efficient that webm
21:03.57traeaki hope that changes
