00:56.03 | sorphin | that was weeks ago ;p |
00:56.11 | MonMotha | ah, that works even if there's nothing for the chip to do? |
00:56.15 | MonMotha | (as in, blank flash)? |
00:56.30 | sorphin | taht's how you flash it |
00:56.32 | sorphin | or |
00:56.38 | sorphin | rather it's a way to flash it |
00:56.38 | ben | well, I tanked my flash, it acted blank anyways, and I couldnt get gdb to work |
00:56.44 | ben | I had to reflash mine |

00:57.05 | ben | hotswap the Flash after boot |
00:57.34 | sorphin | that's why you don't brick it ;) |
00:58.07 | MonMotha | ah, so if you do bork your flash you do have to program the flash using some other means? |
00:59.01 | ben | well the way I did anyways |
00:59.05 | ben | I don't know if thats always the case |
00:59.11 | ben | I don't intend to research it ;=) |

01:00.12 | ben | I ordered a bunch yesterday |
01:00.12 | MonMotha | I just though that was handled by the existing bootloader (they don't come blank, do they?), rather than the chip itself |
01:01.33 | sorphin | MonMotha: ummm |
01:01.40 | sorphin | MonMotha: you replace the bootloader :P |
01:02.04 | sorphin | the cirrus has gdb interfacablity (just like the ceiva) |

17:58.03 | andersee | Lethal: oh, what was the deal? |
17:59.03 | Lethal | andersee, looks like the toolchain installation got a bit confused, rebuilding and adding in elf2flt patches fixed it though |
17:59.52 | Lethal | so its doing DIR32/REL32 relocations fine, now its just a matter of merging in binfmt_flat |
18:00.06 | andersee | Lethal: cool |
18:03.20 | Lethal | it still built an i386-uclibc-ldd though |
18:03.24 | Lethal | no idea where that came from |
18:04.24 | andersee | Thats part of the uclibc build. |
18:04.36 | Lethal | why doesn't it build an sh-uclibc-ldd? |
18:05.03 | andersee | CosmicPenguin: Looks like removing --disable-shared from the gcc build in gcc_target.mk is sufficient to fix it. |
18:05.31 | sorphin | andersee: i usually have to disable shared to fix somethings.. heh |
18:05.33 | andersee | Lethal: that is for your host system. It'll build one for the target if you tell it to. |
18:05.37 | sorphin | w/ glibc even |
18:05.44 | Lethal | ah |

18:40.52 | TomW | :) |
18:40.54 | sorphin | andersee: well, the ratings are supposed to be faily close to P4s |
18:42.10 | Lethal | that makes sense |
18:42.35 | Lethal | P4s are useless w/o HT |
18:43.42 | sorphin | he likes it |
18:44.22 | Lethal | real SMP is still arguably more fun though |
18:44.41 | andersee | I'd like a dual 3 GHz system, though the heat would probably roast me to death in my little office |
18:44.41 | sorphin | Lethal: SMP that doesn't require the damn kernel to do the work :P |
18:45.01 | sorphin | andersee: erik, my damn Sparc 20 would roast you in your office |
18:45.07 | sorphin | hell it heats my basement area :P |
18:45.24 | Lethal | sorphin, if you want to make useful use of HT, you still have to do work in the kernel for it. I think Ingo has some O(1) hacks for HT which boost performance a bit. |
18:45.51 | sorphin | Lethal: well, when i was talking SMP, i was refering to say my dual PPros |
18:45.52 | Lethal | you still have a runqueue per logical processor, even in HT |
18:46.09 | Lethal | yeah, but smp ppro sucks :P |
18:46.18 | sorphin | umm |
18:46.28 | sorphin | don't you have some SH3s to play w/? :P |
18:46.36 | Lethal | not at the moment :P |
18:46.48 | sorphin | ~lart lethal |
18:47.01 | Lethal | had a 6-way PPro. now _that_ was useless. |
18:47.09 | sorphin | i wanna know who the hell made ibot kinky |
18:47.40 | sorphin | Lethal: my dual is nice, but since it's not true SMP, it's the kernel's job to offload to whatever processor and it does it poortly |
18:48.20 | Lethal | what's not true SMP about it? |
18:48.44 | sorphin | yup.. everything runs on 1 proc, true symetric would split the load between the 2 processors |
18:48.47 | sorphin | linux smp doesn't |
18:49.24 | Lethal | as long as you use per processor runqueues, its not an issue |
18:49.40 | sorphin | umm |
18:49.59 | sorphin | i have yet to ever find anything in linux to allow me to offload to one proc or the other |
18:50.11 | sorphin | everything usually stays on 1 proc so it becomes useless |
18:50.14 | Lethal | linux has been able to do that for years :P |
18:50.32 | sorphin | Lethal: sure hasn't looked like it to me :P |
18:50.33 | Lethal | more recently the cpu affinity stuff takes care of that implicitly |
18:50.45 | Lethal | well, most of that fun stuff is 2.5 bound |
18:51.21 | sorphin | i'm about at the point of downgrading :P |
18:51.25 | Lethal | I've been running x86 smp for years and its always worked fine, though i've got quite a few local hacks in, but that's unrelated. |
18:51.26 | sorphin | away from 2.4.20 |
18:52.13 | sorphin | i talked to a friend last night |
18:52.28 | sorphin | has hte same USB stuff setup that i was messing w/ |
18:52.30 | sorphin | same card |
18:52.31 | sorphin | same drives |
18:52.36 | sorphin | his works flawlessly w/ 2.4.18 |
18:52.50 | sorphin | w/ .20, mine deadlocks very very frequently |
18:53.22 | Lethal | I'm still on 2.4.18 on one box |
18:53.32 | Lethal | no reason to use .20 |
18:54.10 | Lethal | I still have a box on 2.3 that will probably move to 2.5 soon |
18:54.14 | andersee | sorphin: ther've been a lot of usb update post 2.4.20... |
18:54.16 | Lethal | 2.4 just gets in the way :P |
18:55.34 | sorphin | Lethal: esp w/ the junky VM |
18:55.56 | Lethal | sorphin, vm was mostly cleaned by the end of 2.3, linus just fucked it for -prerelease :P |
18:56.03 | sorphin | andersee: well, they're not on a "stable" 2.4.21 yet.. and i'm not running a pre on this box ;) |
18:56.17 | sorphin | seeing as i just recovered the damn thing |
18:56.19 | Lethal | but I still have a box on 2.1.121 due to VM suckage :P |
18:56.21 | sorphin | Lethal: umm... |
18:56.44 | sorphin | Lethal: 2.2's vm was fine, 2.4's sucked, so they changed it, and made it equally bad as the one htey removed |
18:57.07 | Lethal | sorphin, 2.3's was fine as well, linus fucked it up in the 2.4 -prerelease |
18:57.20 | sorphin | or it'll constantly kill thigns doing big writes |
18:57.36 | sorphin | cuz it won't deallocate any of it's "cache" for other processes |
18:58.23 | sorphin | Lethal: so 2.4's had 2 bad vms.. i hope they chucked em both in 2.5 :P |
18:59.09 | Lethal | 2.5 is a lot cleaner for a lot of things |
18:59.19 | Lethal | O(1) is nice too |
18:59.46 | sorphin | ummm |
18:59.52 | sorphin | O(1) ? |
18:59.56 | Lethal | scheduler |
19:00.31 | sorphin | nod |
19:00.55 | Lethal | there's a runqueue per processor, and each one of those has a queue for each priority |
19:01.18 | Lethal | so finding the next runnable task is really quick |
19:01.24 | Lethal | vxworks does the same thing |
19:01.26 | sorphin | Lethal: heh, so, genius, how do i get the kernel to offload ? |
19:01.29 | sorphin | :P |
19:01.53 | Lethal | I don't have to do anything special to load both processors |
19:01.54 | sorphin | it's why i won't do smp again till i *see* it's working |
19:02.12 | Lethal | though I guess my machine isn't doing anything at the moment |
19:02.13 | Lethal | CPU0 states: 0.3% user, 0.5% system, 0.0% nice, 98.2% idle |
19:02.13 | Lethal | CPU1 states: 0.1% user, 0.0% system, 0.0% nice, 99.4% idle |
19:02.17 | Lethal | so that's a bad example |
19:02.17 | Lethal | :P |
19:02.20 | sorphin | i have to beat the living hell outta proc 1 before proc2 even picks anything up :P |
19:02.31 | sorphin | umm |

19:40.06 | sorphin | but when i got the athlon |
19:40.11 | sorphin | i moved everything to it :P |
19:40.22 | sorphin | since the smp box wasn't smp'ing faster than a damn athlon :P |
19:41.04 | Lethal | that depends. I can do IPI and context switching faster then your athlon on an sh7604, but the athlon will kick its ass in performance exponentially :P |
19:41.26 | sorphin | umm |
19:41.30 | sorphin | apples vs. oranges |
19:41.40 | Lethal | smp vs smp :P |
19:41.45 | sorphin | you can't compare an non x86 to an x86 on this case |
19:41.47 | sorphin | umm |
19:41.47 | sorphin | wrong |
19:41.52 | sorphin | smp vs. non-smp |
19:41.56 | sorphin | the athlon isn't smp :P |
19:42.02 | sorphin | duh |
19:42.03 | Lethal | sure I can, I'm not arguing processor semantics, just smp semantics ;P |
19:42.07 | Lethal | oh |
19:42.12 | Lethal | I tthought you said you had a dual athlon |
19:42.15 | sorphin | no |
19:42.21 | sorphin | this thing predates XPs :P |

19:55.47 | prpplague | TomW: you alive today |
19:56.12 | TomW | Yeah, soldering wires to boards. :( |
19:56.38 | sorphin | TomW: maxim seems to be in slacker mode |
19:57.15 | prpplague | TomW: fun |
19:57.30 | prpplague | TomW: my tuxscreen life support board is comming along nicely |
19:57.34 | TomW | prpplague: once I get these boards together, and delivered tomorrow, I can then play with the WebPal!!!! :D |
19:57.48 | prpplague | TomW: which TS controler do you guys use with your dragon board? |
19:58.51 | prpplague | btw, if anyone cares, i got an apology letter from jameco for shipping the wrong max232 chip and replacements caps for the model they sent |
20:01.00 | TomW | prpplague: ADS7846, it is a Harris Semi part. |
20:01.19 | prpplague | TomW: work well? |
20:01.44 | prpplague | TomW: i was looking at the tsc2046 which is same pin out as the 7846 |
20:01.45 | TomW | prpplague: one thing I learned about TS stuff, the damned backlight is noisy as hell. It really buggers up the readings on the TS. |
20:02.13 | Russ|werk | that network vulernability might be mine... |
20:02.43 | TomW | prpplague: I used a seperate LCD and mounted a touch glass over it. I often wonder if an integrated LCD + TS would be quieter. |
20:02.51 | Russ|werk | about a month back, I was tracking down a problem in a cgi stript, and I noticed irc nics in the reply's |
20:02.59 | Russ|werk | so I emailed one of the netfilter people |
20:04.10 | prpplague | TomW: this is what i'm thinking about using - http://focus.ti.com/docs/prod/productfolder.jhtml?genericPartNumber=TSC2300 |
20:06.20 | TomW | prpplague: signal to noise ratio is impressive! |
20:06.27 | TomW | prpplague: 98db |
20:08.34 | TomW | prpplague: the 4 x 4 matrix keypad seems useless, eh? |
20:08.46 | TomW | prpplague: perfect for a cell phone though. |
20:09.05 | prpplague | TomW: naw, will be adding a 4x4 keypad |
20:09.17 | prpplague | TomW: good for inventory devices |
20:09.31 | prpplague | TomW: or even a game device |
20:09.38 | prpplague | TomW: or car mp3 player |
20:10.05 | prpplague | TomW: no current linux device driver :( |
20:10.11 | prpplague | TomW: i'll have to write one |
20:10.51 | TomW | prpplague: IMO, the weakest part of a touch screen system is the amount of noise being induced into the TS panel by the LCD column / row driver electronics and the backlight. |
20:11.36 | TomW | prpplague: I did a touchscreen test design (EZ328SIMM) using a simple 10bit ADC, the experience was similar (noise). |
20:11.47 | prpplague | TomW: fun |
20:11.50 | prpplague | lots to learn |
20:12.12 | prpplague | TomW: very difficult to desolder a qfp package? |
20:14.29 | TomW | prpplague: if you want to salvage it, it is. |
20:16.05 | TomW | prpplague: problem with a chip like that is getting it off the board without bending the leads. |
20:17.33 | TomW | prpplague: a TSSOP is a lot easier to salvage as you can usually slip an X-Acto knife under the chip and lift one side gently, while stroking the leads with an iron. Solderwick out any solder on the pads first. |
20:19.00 | prpplague | TomW: ya this is pretty small, 48-pin, i was thinking about taking a dremel a cutting the pcb out around the board to make it wasier |
20:21.23 | *** join/#elinux levi_ (~levi@ash.lnxi.com) |
20:22.11 | TomW | prpplague: 48 pin? Is it a "J" lead device? |
20:22.34 | sorphin | TomW: the flash chips the tivo uses are J lead |
20:22.41 | sorphin | annoying |
20:22.52 | prpplague | TomW: its the ucb1200 chip on the daughter board for the tuxscreen |
20:31.44 | CosmicPenguin | sorphin: you're good at finding deals on the web - where do you sppose I could find a Linksys AP for cheap? |
20:32.05 | sorphin | CosmicPenguin: i'd recommend something other than linksys to be honest |
20:32.28 | sorphin | CosmicPenguin: i have a friend that i work on tivo stuff w/... he's to the point he won't ever get another linksys ap or router again |
20:33.15 | CosmicPenguin | sorphin: our linksys works like a million bucks |
20:33.20 | CosmicPenguin | sorphin: but what would you recommend? |
20:33.50 | sorphin | dunno about their APs.. but i've had good luck w/ dlink cards |
20:34.17 | CosmicPenguin | what I really need is an AP / PCMCIA bonus pack |
20:34.36 | sorphin | indeed |
20:34.51 | sorphin | CosmicPenguin: you know |
20:35.08 | prpplague | CosmicPenguin: don't get a linksys 802.11 ap |
20:35.09 | sorphin | you can just do adhock w/ the card in her laptop (i'm assuming that's where you're going w/ this) |
20:35.17 | sorphin | prpplague: ;) |
20:35.22 | prpplague | CosmicPenguin: get a dlink |

20:36.44 | prpplague | that too |
20:38.59 | CosmicPenguin | sorphin: nah - adhoc isn't worth it - might as well get the whole house lit up if I am going to buy anything at all |

21:15.45 | sorphin | heh |
21:16.40 | kergoth | thats why you let your employer pay for the certs for you |
21:16.46 | sorphin | kergoth: ummm |
21:16.50 | sorphin | kergoth: won't happen here |
21:17.18 | kergoth | cheap bastards eh? |
21:17.28 | sorphin | you forget where i work ? |
21:17.41 | kergoth | point taken |
21:18.05 | sorphin | plus the fact that a minimum of CCNA is required to work out on the floor, why would the company wanna pay for it? :P |
21:19.20 | sorphin | now HERE's the truth :P |
21:19.21 | sorphin | "As one who fixes his own car, _EVERY TIME_ someone else works on it, they mess something up. If I didnt fix my own computer, I am sure I would see the same. |
21:19.22 | sorphin | A certificate is just a piece of paper that reflects a persons reputation. It does not reflect knowledge or skill. |
21:19.22 | sorphin | if you screw up, you can loose your certificate, but its too late for those who trusted that it had value in the first place. " |
21:21.13 | sorphin | hahaha |
21:21.25 | kergoth | hah |
21:21.29 | sorphin | "I think it's a double edged sword.. Being Certified doesn't mean you can do it. I once had an MCSE ask me what port Telnet ran on. Not Being Certified doesn't mean you're an idiot. I've seen people blow away cert's and not have a single cert themselves" |
21:21.41 | sorphin | ;) |
21:22.02 | kergoth | yep. its just a piece of paper |
21:22.09 | sorphin | i'm not certified, but no a lot of routing stuff even the certified guys here don't know |
21:23.25 | sorphin | speaking of being certified |
21:23.41 | TomW | prpplague: that ucb1200 chip on the tux board is tempting, but... Good Luck. |

21:25.54 | kergoth | you dont want to do tech support |
21:25.55 | kergoth | trust me |

21:26.33 | CosmicPenguin | sorphin: For only 10 bucks, I'll give you the prestigous IDKS certification |
21:26.40 | kergoth | file: ah |
21:26.59 | file | kergoth: you get the oppurtunity to get certified - so why not? |
21:27.11 | kergoth | file: yep, wont hurt |
21:27.21 | file | what certification I don't know |
21:27.25 | file | name some for me... |
21:27.48 | file | starts with M I think... |
21:28.34 | file | eh I give up |
