00:34.20sorphinprpplague: actuallly i was more refering to his weird obsession w/ sjhill's nino, and talking about crap like stealing pepsi.. wtf..
00:34.40sorphinprpplague: i know other canadian geeks and none (thankfully) are that weird

02:19.16TomWThat webpal.bigbrd.com site for the webpal linux source is still down.
02:31.48sorphinnod
02:31.57sorphinTomW: btw.. seems i was too cheap
02:37.35TomWsorphin: why is that?
02:39.38sorphinit took work just getting through a pencil and barely made a dent in a screw.. and yet that thing's supposed to cut a nail?
02:40.38TomWWell, they didn't say how long it would take to cut through the nail...
02:40.58TomWThey may have used an Aluminum nail.
02:41.16kergothhah
02:42.25TomWOne thing, if you use the carbide cut-off wheels, make sure you use eye protection!  If those discs disintegrate, they shower peices at pretty good velocity in unknown directions.
02:42.56TomWIt doesn't take much to bust one of those carbide disks.
02:54.43sorphinnod
02:54.47sorphinwell, it's going back
03:00.28kergothBZFlag: hey tim
03:03.09TomWsorphin: Time for a Dremel?
03:03.35sorphinTomW: mebbe
03:04.00sorphinBZFlag: some people are still voiced over there ;p
03:04.31TomWonce that webpal.bigbrd.com comes back online, I am going to suck his site dry with wget.  The put the linux source into my cvs.  
03:04.40TomWHe has been down for over two days now.
03:04.58sorphinweb prolly overloaded him ;)
03:05.04sorphinwas prolly running ON a webpal ;p
03:05.13TomWI wonder if he knows.  I see a posting on that BBS where he was down earlier this month as well.
03:06.41sorphindunno
03:06.59TomWNo rest for the weary.  A customer called to say that the DAT tape drive on his windoze NT box died about a month ago and he just found out about it today.  He has been doing daily backups and when he attempted to restore some stuff yesterday, he found that the tapes were all blank.
03:07.25TomWNo error messages from NT that anything was wrong.
03:08.08TomWThat's okay though, I have a new Linux workstation that is to replace that NT box.  The NT stuff will be running under VMware so he can run his apps.
03:08.57TomWsorphin: I picked up a 9mm 4Gig notebook drive at the computer show today for the WebPal.

03:11.28TomWyup, got 2mm cable, headers and connectors.
03:11.51TomWno freaking software though.
03:33.17sorphinfor wha?

05:27.19sorphinGPSFan: yo
05:27.30GPSFanhi sorphin: what's up?
05:27.42sorphinwell, since my zaurus will be arriving this week
05:27.48GPSFan:>)
05:27.52sorphinlooking through the cf gps devices
05:28.14sorphinmain one i came across is the pretec
05:28.25sorphinany experience w/ it?
05:28.50GPSFanah, some of the cf cards have sensitivity problems, or soI've read on gpspassion.
05:34.29GPSFansorphin: there seem to be a lot mor cf GPS's than when I last looked, they mostly have ugly bumps on the top though.
05:34.34GPSFanhttp://www.gpspassion.com/en/hardware/gpslist.htm
05:36.18GPSFansorphin: the http://www.pretec.com/index2/product/Mobile_peripherals/CompactGPS_LP.htm does look nice though, Trimble chipset.
05:37.40kergoth`zzz.wubdiw 12
05:37.44kergoth`zzzgod i cant type
05:37.49sorphinheh
05:37.54sorphinGPSFan: heh
05:38.02sorphin<PROTECTED>
05:38.03sorphinCurrently only compatible with Pocket PCs running the ARM and XScale processors (such as iPaq 3600-3900 Series, HP Jornada 560 Series, Casio E-200, Toshiba e540, etc.)
05:38.18sorphinzGPS might be able to work w/ it tho
05:38.20kergoth`zzznote to self: kernel development when drinking is not as productive as kernel development when sober
05:38.33sorphinkergoth`zzz: never stops prpplague
05:38.44kergoth`zzzsorphin: lol
05:38.53GPSFansorphin: probably because they are using Trimble binary protocol.
05:39.09sorphinonly 8 sats
05:39.41GPSFansorphin: this one has a smaller "bump" http://www.gissoft.com/body03_0102_01.html
05:41.36GPSFanthe antenna lookd like it is from Sarantel. http://www.sarantel.com/geohelix-h.html
05:42.52sorphinyou could use that antenna on the pretec LP
05:43.21sorphincuz it has an mmcx connector
05:43.57GPSFansorphin: as long as the power out the antenna connector is compatible.
05:45.45sorphinnod
05:46.03sorphinsaw my comment about the LP only having 8 channels ?
05:46.23sorphinwhereas the non LP has 12
05:47.17sorphinheh
05:47.23sorphingpspassion gives the LP a D
05:47.46GPSFanyep, that was sop, a few years ago, after moving up from 1, then 2, then 5. 12 is now commonplace with a few at 16.
05:48.05sorphinnod
05:48.42GPSFanwhen I said nice, I meant from a power drain point of view. Trimble has been in the GPS business a long time, and make some great survey instruments.
05:49.05sorphinnod
05:50.15sorphinhmm
05:50.32sorphinthe holux GM-270 gets an A and uses the SiRF IIe/LIP chipset
05:57.52GPSFanyep, lots of SiRF devices out there, time for Zzzzz nite all...

16:31.46prpplaguere guys
16:31.50sorphinre
16:32.41CosmicPenguinmorning
16:33.19prpplaguecan anyone else get /.?
16:36.52CosmicPenguinnopte
16:41.02CosmicPenguinOk, question - if I try to run getty on a serial port: /sbin/getty -L ttyS0 115200 vt100
16:41.14CosmicPenguinAnd getty is running, but I get no output on the serial port, what did I foul up?
16:41.55prpplaguewhat is the -L for?
16:42.23prpplagueCosmicPenguin: i don't see that as a documented flag
16:45.29CosmicPenguinprpplague: its a force local flag, so we don't do carrier detect
16:46.17CosmicPenguinI've always just done it
16:47.10prpplagueCosmicPenguin: hmm, you must be using a different getty than i
16:47.27prpplagueCosmicPenguin: usually that is in the terminal definition file
16:47.50prpplagueCosmicPenguin: are you using a /etc/gettydefs file?
16:48.15CosmicPenguinprpplague: its tinylogin
16:48.22CosmicPenguinprpplague: so the answer is no
16:48.51prpplagueCosmicPenguin: ahh, i've not used tinylogin as a getty before
16:49.09CosmicPenguinprpplague: except on the tuxscreen, of course... :)
16:49.34prpplagueCosmicPenguin: naw, i still use a custom buildroot of my own nightmare making
16:49.54CosmicPenguinprpplague: ouch
16:50.18CosmicPenguinWell, anyway, getty is running (in a D state, I might add), and nothing appears on the ol' serial port
16:50.35CosmicPenguinAnd the serial port works, because we get output from the kernel
16:50.54prpplagueCosmicPenguin: hmm, checked to make sure you got correct "polarity" on your rx/tx lines
16:52.34CosmicPenguinprpplague: if its good for the kernel, it should be good for userland, right?
16:52.45prpplagueyep
16:55.22sorphinkergoth: you? sane? riiiiight
16:56.18kergothsorphin: hey ya never know, had to check
16:56.44prpplagueCosmicPenguin: is this an arm plateform?
17:02.18CosmicPenguinprpplague: x86
17:02.53prpplaguekergoth: you debugging?
17:03.12kergothprpplague: working on a newer Z kernel atm. havent even started on the NET+50 stuff yet
17:03.16kergothprpplague: but yeah
17:03.41prpplagueCosmicPenguin: ok, from the examples i have no -L usage and no termtype argument
17:03.51prpplagueCosmicPenguin: are you using bb init?
17:04.08prpplaguekergoth: ya printascii is a life savor
17:04.35prpplaguekergoth: funny thing is, no-one every tells the newbies its around :|
17:04.45kergothprpplague: i only happened by it when searching list archives
17:04.59prpplaguekergoth: lol, on my notes page i have it documented
17:05.24kergothprpplague: i know, i didnt know about it then :)
17:05.40prpplaguekergoth: i'm planning to get back to writing docs soon :)
17:06.14prpplaguekergoth: ya i found it in the list archives as well
17:07.15prpplaguehmm webpals should be here :)
17:07.33kergothprpplague: should note somewhere in your notes that it occasionally helps to edit printk.c and change the console loglevel from 7 to 9 to see KERN_DEBUG :)
17:11.25prpplaguekergoth: well, if you get in a bind, i ordered a large number
17:12.17prpplaguekergoth: doesn't the loglevel change to 9 when you compile with the kernel debug turned on it the kernel?
17:14.19CosmicPenguinprpplague: yes on the bb init
17:14.35CosmicPenguinprpplague: and all of my working serial ports use -L and the termtype argument
17:14.44CosmicPenguinprpplague: one more thing, echo "" doesn't seem to work
17:15.22prpplagueCosmicPenguin: interesting

17:28.19kergothkernel panic dumps almost always get hit
17:28.22sorphinelse i could dump to /dev/null instead of caughtspam
17:28.23kergothhad to tweak my config

17:30.33kergothhah

19:19.54Russ|werkmy gf had fun reading the battery package though, since it was in korean
19:20.13Russ|werkso the batteries weren't a total loss
19:20.37sorphinheh
19:20.48sorphinshe just speaks korean or is korean?
19:21.42Russ|werkboth, but not as her first language
19:21.43prpplaguehmm, i wonder if an isa pcmcia slot would work in the webpal
19:21.56sorphinprolly would work ok
19:21.57Russ|werkprpplague: it'd be hell to setup in the kernel, but probably
19:22.00sorphinjust no DMA
19:22.11Russ|werkand only one irq line is tied in
19:22.24kergothprpplague: how much flash/ram is on this thing, do you know?
19:22.26sorphinwell, i can set the irq to use on my card
19:22.31Russ|werk1M flash

19:54.55sorphin" Twas the night before exam week and all thru the dorms, not a student was studying, this was the usual norm. Kegs in the kitchen, jello shots in the hall, thanks to the liquor, it was a late night for all. Passed out all around, the kids all slept tight. When they woke up the next day, they thought, "Man, whatta night! We're too hungover to study!" they shouted with cheer. "So to hell with exams, just bring on the beer!!""
19:56.20kergothsorphin: lol

20:33.22sorphinmine is, yeah
20:33.24TomWtempting container, eh?
20:33.28sorphin2 webpals and a firewire card
20:34.35TomWI won't be here when mine get in, I have a whole lot of work to do on preping some linux workstations and a linux server tonite.  Then I have to run one of the workstations back up to the site and finish the install there.
20:34.46sorphinfun
20:34.59sorphinTomW: we won't be able to do anything w/ them tho anyways till we get the serial boards
20:35.03sorphinis my understanding
20:35.20TomWat least they aren't windoze boxes. But, then, if they were windoze boxes it wouldn't be me that is working on them.
20:35.48TomWsorphin: I have MAX232 chips here to make the serial boards for my units.
20:36.04TomWsorphin: remember, I'm the guy that can solder?   :D
20:36.08sorphinheh
20:36.10sorphinso can i
20:36.12prpplaguei'm just gonna order some boards
20:36.25sorphinprpplague: you mean soon as russ makes the layout? ;)
20:36.26TomWprpplague: weenie
20:36.34prpplaguesorphin: no
20:36.42sorphinheh
20:36.53sorphinTomW: i'll solder the damn thing myself
20:36.56prpplaguesorphin: http://www.al-williams.com/rs1.htm
20:37.09sorphini just need a fscking board to solder to
20:37.17prpplaguesorphin: you can order just the board
20:37.31sorphinheh
20:37.53sorphinpins the same on the non db end ?
20:38.15sorphinif so, we don't need russ to make anything
20:38.25prpplaguesame order? probably not, but that doesn't matter, as long as the signals can be matched
20:38.32TomWsorphin: maybe you'd better keep that dremel-lookalike until you get the boards.  Just so you have something to cut the plastic case with to mount your DB9?
20:38.46sorphinTomW: nah
20:39.02sorphinTomW: i used a drill bit to cut the aread out i used for my jtag connector
20:39.08sorphin-d
20:39.11TomWI used to "cut" plastic using my sodering iron, that is messy!  
20:39.18sorphinand a razor blade
20:39.26sorphinTomW: and very smelly
20:39.29prpplagueTomW: ya i remember those days
20:39.45CosmicPenguinwhen somebody makes a decision about the serial cards, they'll let me know, right?
20:39.47sorphini did that to cut the opening in the project box for my VFD display
20:39.49TomWmesses the tinning on the tip up something fierce.
20:39.59sorphinCosmicPenguin: just buy that thing prpplague posted ;p
20:40.08Russ|werksorphin: I can make a 10x14 pcb with rs232 boards and shanip2 boards, and maybe some jtag stuff
20:40.18Russ|werksorphin: a nice potporri
20:40.37sorphinshanip2 ? which is the one most usd now? 3 or 2?
20:40.47Russ|werkI wasn't aware of a shanip3
20:41.39CosmicPenguinsorphin: Cables will be very important because of the way the damn case is made
20:43.46sorphinok dammit
20:44.34sorphini coulda sworn there was a shanip3
20:44.39sorphinbut now of course
20:44.45sorphinfinding anything in the damn wiki
20:45.19anderseeRuss|werk: If you make some shanip boards, I'll buy 2
20:46.41sorphinyup, i knew there was one
20:46.56sorphin> Will one of the IP mod boards
20:46.56sorphin> (1,2 or 3) accomplish this or will a more complex board be needed?
20:46.56sorphinOne of these boards will be needed to record/playback audio from the
20:46.56sorphintuxscreen's speakerphone or handset. They all are supposed to do the
20:46.56sorphinsame thing, but they are different designs. The ShanIP 2 gives you the
20:46.56sorphinbest audio quality, and the ShanIP 3 uses the fewest components. ShanIP
20:46.58sorphin1 is the original Lucent design, but the external op-amp is unnecessary,
20:47.00sorphinamong other problems. Basically, use ShanIP2 unless you want to tinker
20:47.02sorphinwith the design of ShanIP3 to make it work better.
20:47.04sorphintho
20:50.44sorphinthere it is
20:50.59sorphintis experimental, but it's on the schematics page
21:02.12Russ|werkshould I do both?
21:02.20Russ|werkbecause I need to make the panel not look panelized
21:02.52sorphinwell, i dunno how well if atall 3 works
21:14.16sorphinTomW: wake up solderboy
21:16.00TomWsorphin: naw, others did the Tux schematics.  I only worked from them and found some mistakes.
21:16.51prpplagueRuss|werk: i was wondering how you were gonna get away with doing more than one board.......
21:17.10Russ|werkmix them up, connect them with traces
21:17.25Russ|werkput a few interfaces along the edge of the board that look complex
21:17.55Russ|werkmake it look like a large io board
21:17.59prpplagueRuss|werk: how do you keep the traces from peeling when you cut them apart?
21:18.34Russ|werkconnect them to a 0805 footprint
21:19.12prpplagueRuss|werk: 0805?
21:19.31Russ|werkits a surface mount for a resistor or capacitor
21:19.49Russ|werk1205, 0805, 0603, 0402, etc
21:20.00TomWI like the 1206 package, you can hand solder those on, the 0805 is so tiny.
21:20.13Russ|werkthe 0805 is very hand solderable
21:20.24Russ|werkthe 0603 isn't (for me at least)
21:20.29prpplagueahh gotcha
21:37.40sorphini've done 0603 no prob
21:38.18sorphinonly thing that annoys me
21:38.32sorphinare the 208+ pin plccs
21:38.43sorphinor whatever the hell they are
21:48.10prpplaguedid anyone find the jtag on the webpals?
21:49.23sorphinonly person here so far that's even gotten to look at theirs yet is jordan
21:50.21prpplagueand me
21:51.23sorphinah
21:52.41CosmicPenguinprpplague: I didn't see any JT
21:52.43CosmicPenguinAG
21:52.47CosmicPenguinDid somebody say they had one?
21:53.02sorphinhe was just guessing i think
21:53.37prpplagueCosmicPenguin: the chip is suppose to have a jtag IIRC
21:54.00CosmicPenguinprpplague: ah, the chip.  But not so much the board?
21:54.01sorphinprpplague: doesn't mean they brought it out tho ;)
21:55.53prpplaguehmm, no, i'm not seeing any reference to jtag on the chip either
21:56.23Russ|werkI looked at mine, I didn't pull up the pinout of the cirrus though
21:56.41Russ|werkprpplague: that would make sense, given that the flash is on a module
21:57.39Russ|werkI might be able to attempt a dimm socket<->ide interface
21:58.19sorphinwhy when we already have ide ?
21:58.33prpplaguesorphin: for reprogramming bricked sims
21:58.58sorphinheh, can't the bitch boot from the ide w/o flash? :P
21:59.13Russ|werknope...just like any board
22:00.14CosmicPenguinprpplague: they have scematics for a SIM burner on that website

22:05.16sorphinheh
22:05.18prpplaguei kinda like this swapable flash
22:05.19sorphinyou killed ibot
22:05.25sorphinprpplague: here's an idea
22:05.33Russ|werkhe made a board to program it, but its complex
22:05.56sorphini'm gonna see if any of my cisco flash fits :P
22:07.17Russ|werkI always thought there were more than three address lines on ide
22:07.51sorphinummm
22:07.54sorphini thought there were
22:08.25Russ|werkguess not
22:08.33sorphinhrm
22:08.35sorphinguess not
22:09.07sorphin15 data lines, 3 addr and other signals
22:09.21Russ|werkI guess I'll have to make a latch if I want to use IDE
22:09.42Russ|werkadr 0x0 = data adr 0x1 = addr latch
22:10.33Russ|werkhmm...people may prefer parallel port though
22:10.45sorphinmebbe
22:11.05sorphinRuss|werk: when i get to look at mine in person when i get home, i may have some thoughts
22:11.23CosmicPenguinRuss|werk: you don't like the flash concept then?
22:11.35Russ|werkwhich flash concept?
22:13.11sorphinRuss|werk: prolly CF
22:14.10CosmicPenguinon the webpal, why would you want to convert flash to use ide?
22:14.26Russ|werkif you brick the flash simm
22:14.41Russ|werkan easy way to eletrically connect it to a computer, would be IDE
22:17.38sorphini just love when every page google fines
22:17.40sorphinfinds
22:17.44sorphinisn't english
22:19.49CosmicPenguinRuss|werk: fair enough
22:20.42Russ|werkide would require one ic, and a module
22:20.48Russ|werksocket thingy
22:21.15CosmicPenguinanyone have a tuxscreen handy?
22:21.30sorphinnope, mine are at home
22:21.45CosmicPenguinsorphin: same here
22:21.50sorphinwhy?
22:23.19CosmicPenguinI wanted a cat of /proc/devices
22:23.26CosmicPenguinBut I'll do it tonight when I get home
22:23.35sorphinah
22:24.04CosmicPenguinHey, I finally got .MOV support built into mplayer
22:24.07CosmicPenguinpretty freeking cool
22:24.13Russ|werkactually, I could probably do parallel with 2 bit shifting ic's and maybe one more for logic
22:26.25Russ|werkhis setup uses a pic prototype board
22:34.12*** join/#elinux levi (~levi@ash.lnxi.com)
22:56.15prpplaguethis may sound like a stupid question, but..... why can't you connect the flash directly to a cf slot?
22:58.05prpplaguei wonder if you could use a disk-on-module core for the flash
23:00.30prpplagueRuss|werk: the lenght of the traces to the flash are pretty critical right?
23:01.29MonMothaCosmicPenguin: still want /proc/devices?
23:03.54Russ|werkprpplague: no
23:04.05Russ|werkprpplague: you can usually clock it at whatever rate you want
23:04.21Russ|werkcf slot plugs are expensive I think, and difficult to solder
23:05.28prpplagueRuss|werk: the connections won't be a problem i have some cf prototype stuff
23:05.49prpplaguei'm just wondering electicall what would be different
23:06.18Russ|werkcf would probably a pretty good fit, but there might not be enough address lines
23:06.40prpplagueon the cf or on the flash module?
23:07.27CosmicPenguinMonMotha: yeah, lay it on me
23:07.46MonMothaCosmicPenguin: one sec
23:07.54CosmicPenguinMonMotha: priv it to me, will ya?
23:07.58MonMothalet me bring up another minicom (have the ipaq on ttyS0 and the tux on ttyS1 :)
23:07.59MonMothak
23:09.03Russ|werkprpplague: the flash module would because a "cf module"
23:09.39Russ|werkprpplague: I think most people would prefer parallel though, even if it requires a couple ic's
23:10.12prpplagueRuss|werk: i agreed, i'm just thinking aloud, i need to tinker with some of this and see what i can blow up :)
23:12.28Russ|werkthe simm slot will be the most complex, expensive part on the board
23:12.46prpplaguei'm wondering if i could just add a second sim slot so i can use to sticks at once
23:12.48Russ|werk72 pin through hole component
23:13.04Russ|werkprpplague: heh, you can use a memory DIMM and get two banks (as apposed to SIMM)
23:14.37prpplagueRuss|werk: but i want to swap out boards, i.e. reprogram one
23:16.44prpplagueRuss|werk: why could you not get one of those old 72-pin sim multiplier boards and use that?
23:31.54Russ|werkprpplague: ?
23:32.15anderseeRuss|werk: What device are we discussing here?
23:32.18Russ|werkoh, right
23:32.19Russ|werkI see
23:32.26Russ|werkprpplague: there probably wouldn't be room
23:32.44Russ|werkandersee: webpal
23:32.49anderseeAhh
23:34.06prpplagueandersee: you not get one?
23:34.17anderseeprpplague: nope
23:34.26prpplagueandersee: not want one?
23:35.10prpplagueRuss|werk: there is a second chip pad on the simm board
23:35.21Russ|werkprpplague: oh, that
23:35.29prpplagueRuss|werk: whats the probablity of putting another chip there and it work?
23:35.29Russ|werkprpplague: its aparently populated on some webpals
23:35.54Russ|werkprpplague: so a pretty good probablity
23:36.26Russ|werkprpplague: with the ide connector though, I really only care if there is enough room for a bootloader, and a kernel
23:36.51prpplagueRuss|werk: agreed, it just the first time i've had some cheap memory to play with
23:37.22prpplagueRuss|werk: i guess the second chip would be hardwired to a higher address right?
23:37.28Russ|werkyou may be able to construct a DOC or NAND replacement simm
23:37.48Russ|werkprpplague: no, the second chip would be D16-D31
23:38.05prpplagueRuss|werk: ahh gotcha
23:38.54CosmicPenguinandersee: can't have enough arms... :)
