| 00:44:03 | Sammy | morning :) |
| 02:06:14 | Russ | evening |
| 02:19:58 | Sammy | hi Russ ^_^ |
| 02:21:27 | Sammy | Russ : I think the cup here most of peopel always use to drink Tea ... |
| 02:22:32 | Sammy | but if you don't drink tra , it's can also be a coffee cup :) |
| 02:25:29 | Sammy | I don't know ,because many other country peopel travel here always buy some pottery anyway ^_^ |
| 02:37:20 | Russ | its nice |
| 02:37:25 | Russ | when does your b-day come up? |
| 04:07:58 | Sammy | go lunch.... |
| 07:53:12 | seletz | hi guys! Morning! |
| 07:54:03 | seletz | reading mail |
| 07:56:06 | Sammy | evering seletz |
| 08:01:42 | seletz | Ahhh, patching the 2.4.13-ac5 kernel now works with rmk2 patch ;-) |
| 08:03:19 | seletz | heavy CVSing new kernel ... ;-) |
| 08:42:00 | Russ | but still doesn't work for me |
| 08:42:06 | Russ | still hangs on bb mount -a |
| 08:44:59 | seletz | kernel 2.4.13-ac5-rmk2 does not work or what? |
| 08:58:20 | erikm | hi |
| 08:58:38 | Sammy | yo erikm |
| 09:05:18 | seletz | hi erik |
| 09:07:07 | seletz | erikm: people seem to have problems with sleep wakeup when using blob, guess they use a old version (see posts on the list). Posted a request on the list to get this sorted out. Hope this helps (i cant test this ATM). |
| 09:07:22 | erikm | seletz: ok |
| 09:07:53 | erikm | seletz: I've seen that as well. the new 2.0.5-pre1 snapshot should help them sort this out |
| 09:08:16 | seletz | erikm: yes, i said that again. btw, rmk2 applies at last :) |
| 09:10:33 | erikm | just read linux-arm-kernel |
| 09:17:05 | erikm | starts working on a ramdisk for WeirdArms |
| 09:19:22 | Sammy | seletz : can you help me to explan barrier() __asm__ __volatile__("";;;""memory") ? |
| 09:19:33 | seletz | yes. |
| 09:20:03 | seletz | this is to trick the gcc compiler out for not optimizing away the previoues code. |
| 09:21:13 | erikm | more specifically, it tells the compiler that this assembly statement does some memory references, but it doesn't specify exactly which ones |
| 09:21:22 | seletz | essentially __asm( "";;;"memory") means that "memory" has changed and the compiler is not allowed to assume that he can optimize things coming from memory (the same adress) before. |
| 09:21:58 | erikm | so the only thing the compiler can do is to write out outstanding memory writes, and reload them again after the barrier |
| 09:22:05 | seletz | with __asm() you can write assembly within c code. read the GNU gcc info pages on that. |
| 09:22:47 | seletz | Sammy: got it? |
| 09:23:02 | Sammy | ok clear :) |
| 09:24:14 | seletz | in practice, one uses the barrier() macro to be sure that the actual memory location is freshly read/written, and does not come from cache or is optimized away. |
| 09:25:58 | Sammy | oh...so call the barrier() in intel32.c every line . |
| 09:26:11 | erikm | yes |
| 09:26:17 | Sammy | got it ... |
| 09:56:02 | seletz | lunch! |
| 12:37:45 | Sammy | erikm : I don't get one more thing , where is the data_(from)(to)_flash () function ? |
| 12:38:04 | erikm | in flashasm.S |
| 12:38:13 | erikm | (grep is your friend) |
| 12:39:32 | Sammy | oh ..through it |
| 12:41:25 | Sammy | ok catch it... |
| 13:49:42 | prpplague | morning all |
| 13:50:38 | Sammy | yo prpplague :D |
| 13:52:47 | prpplague | howdy Sammy |
| 13:55:39 | erikm | hi prpplague |
| 13:56:48 | prpplague | erikm: hows the blob dl counter doing? |
| 13:57:12 | erikm | looks |
| 13:59:01 | erikm | 13 times from the LART site right now |
| 13:59:08 | erikm | don't know yet about SF |
| 14:00:24 | prpplague | hmm, i need to add to that... |
| 14:01:07 | prpplague | erikm: looks like i'm going to spend all week working on hardware issues instead of coding... |
| 14:01:29 | prpplague | my job is keeping me from my work... |
| 14:03:10 | erikm | heh :) |
| 14:03:19 | erikm | also does some non-blob related work |
| 14:04:46 | prpplague | my company is installing our accounting system at new chain of retail stores, the sales guys promisied them we'd use their existing barcode scanner, card swipes, printers and cash drawers |
| 14:05:13 | prpplague | of course i didn't find out until they were onsite trying to set things up |
| 14:05:27 | prpplague | fun fun fun |
| 15:05:25 | Sammy | go home .. |
| 15:51:57 | erikm | goes home |
| 15:52:11 | erikm | bye |
| 18:05:56 | prpplague | howdy BZFlag |
