00:46.03Svawesome
00:50.17slapinhno: I have dumped lots of NAND work, but I still nof fully understand how LA works, so the data are crappy. I will try to configure it for state mode - I might be able to store proper data then
01:03.22Marexslapin: hello
01:03.22MarexLA ?
01:04.39slapinMarex: hi, LA = Logic Analyser
01:05.12Marexslapin: hm ... you're sniffing data on the nand bus ?
01:05.19slapinMarex: I got myself HP 16500C chassis with 16555A logic analyser board and accessories
01:05.27slapinMarex: yeah
01:06.18slapinMarex: looking at sniffed data with tail -f is so much fun!
01:07.41rz2komg
01:07.44rz2kwhere did you find it in Russia
01:09.28rz2kI wanted to ship myself some HP-Agilents, but shipping is total crap if weight of the package is more than 10KG
01:11.49slapinrz2k: it was shipped from US, then sold here for 25000RUR, then added accessories, and then it was sold to me for 33000RUR. or something.
01:12.12rz2kholy shit
01:12.16Marexhow much is RUR ~ USD ratio ?
01:12.23rz2k30rur=1usd
01:12.24slapinremembers when he accidentally ordered a trunk full of keyboards from Australia
01:12.43slapin30 rur is very rough approximation
01:13.00rz2kit works :p
01:13.04slapinactually something like 33-1 or something
01:14.04slapinwell, if you care, I still have these keyboards and can sell them for $20...
01:14.17rz2klol
01:14.22slapinI have about 50 of them left
01:14.41rz2ksell them on some hardware forum full of mechanic keyboards lovers
01:15.08slapinshipment cost was so big customs were very annoyed by my package
01:15.56slapinthey seen the price $14 for the lot, and shipment of $1000+ something (but less than $2000)
01:16.33slapinI was going to customs office for 3 weeks to settle things
01:17.26slapinas the result I paid no fees, but got a lot of frustration and trouble ecplaining why I need these for personal purposes... :)
01:17.39slapins/ecplaining/explaining/
01:18.28slapinthen checks shipping costs of every package he orders
01:22.17slapinthis LA is very cool with everything except for handling files. it is SLOW! Saving 55MB trace file to internal hard drive is so slow, can take half an hour approximately
01:26.10slapinneeds to configure stateful analyser, or else I will analyse data for ages
01:30.01Marexslapin: do you plan to go to ELC ?
01:30.04Marex(the one in SF)
01:30.25slapinI still have no passport
01:30.47slapinand I think I will have troubles with US visa
01:33.00slapinand I am attached to duties at the moment
01:35.37slapinneeds some sleep, but these files are still saving :( and fans are too loud to leave the damn thing for the night...

01:38.30Marexslapin: yes please
01:38.39MarexI _do_ feel like shit :/
01:38.57MarexI've been spending last few days digging in primitive recursive functions etc.
01:39.33Marexwhere the fuck is my "student life" ... I have none, I either hack on u-boot, hack on u-boot for university project or study this shit

01:42.53slapinMarex: MUHAHAHA!!!!!11 Last 2 weeks at work I was digging in 5 python scripts og 200 lines each, which had all sorts of stupid bugs from memleaks to algorithmic errors.  I had to stay for a night even, for two days. And on friday I was able to talk manager into rewriting, when target is Monday, and finished it in 2 hours. Tests passed. Bingo!
01:44.05slapinand who will return me these 2 weeks, for which I could drink vodka and fondle tits of various sizes?
01:44.36rz2klol
01:52.16rz2kMarex: go to your university and say everything you have on it. when I did that I got the 'half-time job' in the lab the second day. now I'm writing challenges for younger guys. we've moved from 8051 and some local clones from that era to ARM and MSP430.
01:52.55rz2konly if this job was payed not $150 :/
01:52.56slapinrz2k: local clones?!
01:53.53rz2khow do you like creating program for some USSR microcontroller that was designed in ~75 in 2012?
01:54.30Svsounds awesome
01:54.42rz2klol
01:54.46slapinrz2k: which microcontroller? 8051 on discrete logic?
01:56.36rz2kNo, USSR's clones of MCUs of that era. I dont clearly remember, but if you were in 90s as a computer guy, you saw that in Electronica school computers, Mikrosha and various other applications.
01:56.47Marexslapin: it's much worse over here
01:57.08Marexrz2k: I've been teaching some classes already, but it's poorly paid (I didn't do it for money) ... now I focus on my DENX job
01:57.19slapinrz2k: 8080 clone?
01:57.22Marexrz2k: DENX is awesome place to work
01:58.21rz2kslapin: yeah, probably. I didnt dig it too much because all documentation was clearly wrote by a guy who didnt want to teach somebody something meaningful.
02:00.20rz2kSv: that sounds awesome if you know what to do and you are mature enough to understand it. If you are fresh meat from the street that wants to know how computers work, this will be the pain of searching for documentation and trying to understand wtf is going on.
02:00.55rz2kby mature I mean computer science mature :p

15:56.11CurtmanHello..  I'm doing some hacking on my Mele A3700.  I don't see much related to it on the web so far.  It seems very similar to the A1000.  Who maintains https://github.com/linux-sunxi/sunxi-boards and how can I contribute a mele_a3700.fex?
16:00.13CurtmanI pulled it from my device with adb, and copied /dev/block/nanda to an image.  It's the script.bin run through bin2fex.  http://pastebin.com/gRfyu1fW
16:00.48libvCurtman: you'll have to create a dram.c for uboot
16:01.08libvCurtman: for this, you need this fex, but as usual some important data is missing from it
16:01.48libvCurtman: i trust that you already have the uart wired up?
16:03.16CurtmanOk.  I'm very new to these devices.  I mostly played with Realtek boxes like the OPlay before.  Yeah I have UART.  I tried USB device, but its not working.  I got adb through IP:5555 and launched a shell.  I wasn't able to interrupt U-Boot with my uart console for some reason.

16:13.32libvCurtman: hno is the main sunxi uboot man, he can quickly provide an educated guess for the missing dram parameters

16:56.51libvCurtman: looks like broken plastic near the antenna connector
16:57.29libvCurtman: are you sure you are not getting anything useful out of the uart?
16:57.55libvCurtman: also, stick this in a wiki page on linux-sunxi.org
16:58.08*** part/#arm-netbook vanner (~vanner@vanner.me)
16:59.21CurtmanIt had melted plastic sticking the antenna on to the connector, I scraped enough away to free it but not all I guess.
16:59.38CurtmanI've never edited a wiki before.  I'll give it a try.
17:00.06libvCurtman: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Formatting
17:00.25CurtmanThanks
17:00.31libvit is pretty straightforward, and only mildly more work than just writing plain text :)
17:02.41CurtmanI get useful data out of the uart.  I see u-boot, but the press any key countdown, pressing keys doesnt interrupt it.  I get no shell once its booted though.  It's possible this ttl converter isn't working.  Or rx on the board isn't enabled somehow.

17:29.57libvthe category thing will be solved later
17:30.09mnemocas they all use the same PCB it might be good to keep all models in the same page
17:30.29libvthis is a different pcb, although similar
17:30.58libvCurtman: you add a [[Category:A10 HTPC]] tag into the page and it will automatically appear there

17:33.07libvSouL_: open up the device, attach a ttl uart to usb device so you can get a serial console

17:40.09libvthere is no way around it that will generate dependable results
17:41.01SouL_I'm not
17:41.22SouL_Hey, I'm saying that I'm not a computer programmer and I don't know what you are saying
17:41.45SouL_But I can follow steps from a guide or something
17:41.48SouL_I don't know what is ttl
17:41.55SouL_what is uboot
17:42.03SouL_and etc
17:42.17SouL_It's not necessary in a few minutes

17:43.24SouL_What?
17:43.28libvSouL_: get an already supported device.
17:43.38chengttl - 5v uart use by standard processor/mcu, usually require a max232 chip to convert it to RS232(serial port)

17:47.48libvSouL_: if so, i have tracked a few on ebay before, when one is available cheaply i might grab one at one point or another, but before someone with a problem-solving mentality and the hw comes by, this device will not get support automagically

18:41.50bsdfoxSouL_, if you can find the uart pins you can help
18:42.18bsdfoxreasonable chance it's in that pic vgrade posted

18:43.43bsdfoxas in not A10?
18:43.52libvbsdfox: check the second link that vgrade posted
18:44.20libvbsdfox: _i_ threw that wiki page together, and iirc slapin provided the picture with the uart
18:44.37libvbsdfox: as in different board.
18:45.19bsdfoxlibv, gotta start somewhere.. uart is normally broken out so easy to find
18:45.36libvbsdfox: please handhold SouL_ through every single step then
18:45.54bsdfoxloses interest
18:46.05libvbsdfox: if only you had done so earlier.
18:51.27libvvgrade: i have the post-fosdem lima running on sunxi kernel and linaro userspace
18:52.00libvvgrade: i had spent a day autotooling it, but there are simply too many disadvantages with autotools in the current lima usecase
18:52.19vgradeX11 or framebuffer
18:52.38libvlima egl tests use pbuffer
18:52.45libvso that no windowing system is involved
18:53.02libvand so that REing is not needlessly encumbered
18:53.36libvso they should work under both framebuffer and X11, but they will not show anything on screen on their own
18:53.55libvthe actual lima versions of those tests dump the result straight to /dev/fb0
18:54.21libvvgrade: remember, this is REing groundwork and not a driver yet
18:54.42vgradeok
18:54.56vgradenot been following closely
18:55.37libvlinuxtag was the last big advancement, but that ran on r2p1 and r2p0
18:55.44libvkernelside that
18:55.47libvthat is :)
18:56.18libvnow it also runs on our r3p0 kernel driver, and has a workaround for broken threading on our kernel
18:59.15vgradeare you still on #lima
18:59.38libvof course :)

22:15.57mnemocTurl: having an "uplink" < 20Mbps the usb bandwidth is not the limiting part
22:18.13mnemocbut it's pretty annoying to need an extra device (switch/router) ... specially if it needs an extra crappy PSU
22:19.52mnemocusb/hub + 2 usb/nic works fine... but it's a mess

22:21.57mnemocspace and portability
22:22.28Turlthe 40$ router will beat whatever homemade solution you can come up with on both areas
22:22.30mnemocand they need their own PSU
22:22.52mnemocTurl: when in a fixed location, sure
22:23.12Turlif you're on the go, what do you need a router for? :)

22:30.44Turlall modern-ish laptops have expresscard o.O
22:31.20mnemocthe most decent i've found are 4xRJ45 switches using 5V/USB for power
22:31.36mnemocTurl: maybe 14" beasts
22:31.41mnemoc>14"
22:32.47Turl>=14" for sure
22:33.31mnemoclaptop for me are in the 11-13" range... after that they are desktop computers with built-in UPS ;-)
22:34.18Turlanything <14" are unusable toys for me :<
22:35.01TurlI cannot comfortably fit both hands over the keyboard
22:35.15t0dbld1than you haven't tried the right ones
22:35.25t0dbld1:-)
22:35.26Turland the screen is too small, I cannot do any useful work on it :<
22:35.39t0dbld1than resolution was to poor
22:37.14t0dbld1a full size keyboard is 10 7/8 "   with out numbpad
22:37.21Turlnot being able to fit more than 1 window while still maintaining readability without having to stick my face to 10cm of the screen is a deal breaker
22:37.57Turlno numpad itself is a deal breaker :<
22:38.14t0dbld1I agree that i like having numbpad
22:38.40t0dbld1how ever was jsut proving the error in your falicy about hands cant fit on keyboard of a smaller laptop
22:38.41TurlI end up hitting the table when I need to type numbers without one :P
22:38.53mnemocat home you can plug a larger display and real keyboard to the laptop
22:39.16Turlmnemoc: what's the point then? :P
22:39.52Turlt0dbld1: my full kbrd with full size keys is 16" screen size
22:39.55mnemocthat you can suspend, unplug and take the laptop with you
22:40.10mnemoc16" isn't portable
22:40.30Turlit's 'carryable' :)
22:40.35mnemoc24" + 11-13" beats 16" 100x times
22:41.15Turl11-13 might be good on an usecase similar to a tablet, or a bit more
22:41.24Turlie, carry anywhere, read email, do light work
22:41.55Turl16" is more of a "I need to go to X place and do Y, and I need a computer to do it"

22:47.28mnemocit can be full + numpad
22:47.39Turlmnemoc: the keyboard of a 16" has the same size as a desktop one
22:47.53mnemocbut they have the same crappy feedback of most laptops, and irradiate heat
22:48.06mnemochttp://www.daskeyboard.com/ <--- good keyboard
22:48.16Turlif your keyboard irradiates heat you'd better look for a new laptop :)

22:49.52mnemocbecause your device is a 16" desktop with built-in ups
22:49.56mnemocnot a laptop
