| 03:44:11 | Sammy | hello SpaceCoaster :) |
| 10:10:05 | Sammy | Yo erikm |
| 10:12:23 | Sammy | are you abduct by alien ? such a looong time no see :) |
| 10:13:53 | erikm | no, that's called christmas holiday |
| 10:16:29 | Sammy | |^O^| <--- so envy |
| 11:47:57 | Sammy | later erikm |
| 15:43:47 | erikm | is going to break quite some code |
| 16:18:43 | erikm | one single change, and already 10 files are broken |
| 17:06:57 | erikm | hello prpplague |
| 17:07:05 | erikm | prpplague: back home? |
| 17:11:46 | erikm | hmm. one single change which influences 23 other files. good... good... :) |
| 17:22:24 | prpplague | erikm: ya got back around the 20th |
| 17:22:44 | prpplague | erikm: totaled my car this morning, got rear ended by a dually |
| 17:23:30 | erikm | oops :( |
| 17:23:35 | erikm | what's a dually? |
| 17:34:18 | prpplague | erikm: dually is an oversized pickup truck with dual wheels in the back to support heavy loads ( farm truck) |
| 17:37:15 | erikm | ah, ok. dodge ram, for example |
| 17:37:50 | prpplague | ya you can get a dodge ram dually |
| 17:39:13 | erikm | hmm, I'm sure I've seen a dually ram in the mirror. it was exceptionally wide :) |
| 17:40:15 | prpplague | well, i can now speak with experience, you don't want to see one in the mirror not stopping |
| 17:41:56 | erikm | yeah, that's pretty scary. I got an accident on a highway last year with 120 km/h (75 mph). the car in front of me was braking quite hard. I managed to break as well. the car behind me didn't and crashed into my care. |
| 17:42:02 | erikm | s/care/car/ |
| 17:42:46 | erikm | speed difference wasn't that large, so nothing really damaged, but it still is scary |
| 18:19:03 | mungewell | Hi all, anyone here ready to answer questions blob? |
| 18:21:23 | erikm | hello mungewell |
| 18:21:29 | erikm | hiya BZFlag |
| 18:21:54 | mungewell | hi erikm, I'm the one who emailed you yesterday..... |
| 18:22:09 | erikm | got that :) |
| 18:22:37 | mungewell | I've grabed the CVS versiona and made the same hacky 'corrections' and have confirmed that it builds as well as the pre1 version |
| 18:22:55 | erikm | good |
| 18:23:14 | erikm | is currently rewriting the serial layer |
| 18:23:29 | erikm | blob basically doesn't compile anymore right now :) |
| 18:23:34 | mungewell | you mentioned that you are trying to move to a more portable structure. Looking at the code it's quite heavily SA1100 |
| 18:24:18 | erikm | hmm, changes in 35 files |
| 18:24:33 | mungewell | I mean all the functions like LED flash and system reset are hardwired to SA1100 GPIO |
| 18:24:47 | erikm | look at src/lib/serial-sa11x0.c. that's how the serial layer is going to look like |
| 18:26:05 | mungewell | yes I've had a very quick scan of this.... is this how you're expecting the other blocks of code to go? |
| 18:26:12 | erikm | yes |
| 18:28:17 | mungewell | I expect that I would have to introduce a number of other files.... relating to my architecture - which is a CX22490 (arm940t core). If I go ahead a knock something up, would it be best to split these 'arch' files into a seperate directory? |
| 18:29:56 | erikm | I'm not yet sure about it. right now it fits quite well within the directories |
| 18:31:14 | mungewell | Ok... I've had to pull SA1100.h file down and stick it in the include directory as I'm running Linux2.2 on the hacking machine, but that seems to work fine. |
| 18:31:33 | mungewell | How long have you (and others) been hacking away at lart? |
| 18:31:48 | erikm | we started somewhere in august 1999 |
| 18:32:36 | erikm | I've been doing 1.0.0 through 1.0.8-pre2 myself |
| 18:32:44 | mungewell | I tried to get up to speed a bit by scanning through mailing list archive but me eyes started glossing over after the first few hundred k. |
| 18:33:14 | erikm | I moved the CVS tree to Sourceforge in may this year. after that the development really went fast |
| 18:34:26 | mungewell | It looks like project has reached a state of maturity and this probly brings a lot of users/testers in.... I've only been involved in some new/small/obscure projects so far. |
| 18:36:54 | mungewell | Anyhow I'll let you get back to hacking away.... I'll drop you an email with any diffs/addtions that I get going, have fun. |
| 18:37:04 | erikm | ok |
| 18:37:10 | mungewell | cya. |
| 18:44:05 | BZFlag | erikm: what are the clart plans? I have a customer pinging me looking for a opensource ipaq type system. |
| 18:52:31 | Russ|werk | wb erikm |
| 18:52:40 | erikm | hi Russ|werk |
| 19:17:53 | erikm | re, BZFlag |
| 19:18:28 | erikm | BZFlag: creditlart is a bit fuzzy, it depends a lot on the commercial partners |
| 19:19:11 | erikm | BZFlag: if you're looking for a LART-ish SA1110 system: steve wiseman announced his "baloon2" on the LART list |
| 19:22:56 | prpplague | erikm: is that info on the archive some where? |
| 19:23:32 | prpplague | erikm: i'd be interested in that as well |
| 19:23:55 | prpplague | erikm: i've just about got my sub in tapei ready to do a small batch of LART's |
| 19:24:02 | erikm | prpplague: the archive is still broken |
| 19:24:06 | prpplague | doh |
| 19:24:17 | erikm | prpplague: but I have marcj here tomorrow, so maybe he can repair it :) |
| 19:24:23 | prpplague | erikm: ok |
| 19:24:29 | erikm | prpplague: want me to forward you his announcment? |
| 19:26:00 | prpplague | erikm: that would be so nice of you...., i'm going to owe you a truck load of beer before too long |
| 19:26:35 | prpplague | dave123@abcsinc.com |
| 19:26:47 | | OK, prpplague. |
| 19:26:47 | prpplague | ibot: prpplague is dave123@abcsinc.com |
| 19:28:09 | prpplague | erikm: btw, looks like andersee is going to get the c++ support in uclibc completed by mid-jan |
| 19:28:27 | erikm | cool :) |
| 19:28:59 | prpplague | erikm: and he has another company interested in funding the pthreads |
| 19:29:54 | erikm | message is on its way |
| 19:31:32 | prpplague | thanks |
| 19:32:31 | prpplague | you know, i've only been in the open source community for about three years and it still amazes me how wonderful it is compared to the m$ world |
| 19:32:38 | erikm | heh :) |
| 19:38:25 | prpplague | erikm: looks like a nice successor to the LART |
| 19:38:41 | erikm | *nod* |
| 19:41:57 | prpplague | wonders when more companies who produce ARM based products will start co-operation on linux development |
| 19:42:12 | BZFlag | erikm: looking for partners in building an ipaq like system. |
| 19:43:05 | Russ|werk | I'll be looking for contract/perm in march |
| 19:43:14 | erikm | in april |
| 19:43:45 | prpplague | is happly employeed |
| 19:44:21 | prpplague | BZFlag: but then again you didn't ask me,lol |
| 19:55:43 | prpplague | erikm: have you read this: http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/4/23518.html |
| 19:56:37 | erikm | tries to read it |
| 19:57:13 | BZFlag | Russ|werk: I doubt this company I'm consulting for will pay for all the work, but it's possible. |
| 19:57:36 | BZFlag | they are looking to share the cost of building an ipaq like device with a few other companies. |
| 19:57:52 | prpplague | BZFlag: i'm no guru, but i'd be interested in helping anyway possible |
| 20:11:48 | prpplague | BZFlag: thats basically what we are working towards, however we want a unit that supports a 640x480 display |
| 20:12:29 | erikm | prpplague: fun story :) |
| 20:12:45 | prpplague | erikm: ya i always get a kick out of those "leaked" emails |
| 21:12:59 | erikm | goes home |
| 21:13:05 | erikm | bye |
| 21:13:17 | prpplague | later |
| 22:02:07 | Russ|werk | I like how they talk about planned independant analysis |
| 22:02:46 | Russ|werk | they already know the results |
| 22:32:00 | | andersee was last seen on #tuxscreen 17 hours, 31 minutes and 59 seconds ago, saying: hey GoRK, long time no see [Wed Jan 2 05:00:01 2002] |
| 22:32:00 | Russ|werk | ibot: seen andersee |
