14:36.30sorphinsieve: was writing a userland program to write the flash so i wouldn't need CF to upgrade the thing
14:36.58sorphinsice: strangely enough, apparently you can corrupt the flash by poking data at it w/o the proper flash command (which is weird in itself, that shouldn't happen)
14:39.50CosmicPenguinsorphin: heh

15:39.39mallumkergoth: *sigh* I've noticed a really odd problem :/ .The makefile needs to copy the dir structure and all the files in skeleton/ over to staging/ but because of the bk permissions it dont seem to be doing that :/
15:52.47CosmicPenguingrr... automake refuses to recognize autoconf in the staging directory
15:53.17sorphinCosmicPenguin: no shock there, when it started trying to make autoconf here for me for OZ it croaked
15:53.32CosmicPenguinsorphin: it should be searching the paths right - config.log shows all the right info
15:53.44sorphinheh
15:53.52CosmicPenguincept - its evaluating the binary autoconf-2.53... I dunno why
15:54.10sorphindunno
15:54.24CosmicPenguinIt built once, though
16:04.26CosmicPenguinsorphin: I got past the first error by adding a soft link to autoconf-2.53 in the bin directory
16:04.33sorphinheh
16:04.50CosmicPenguinBut it looks like ipkg is blowing out too
16:05.01CosmicPenguinThe path must be wrong

16:08.35kergothyeah. i doubt they can prove anything

16:09.29sorphinnow i gotta find wtf to take it
16:11.04mallumkergoth: any idea on my buildroot problem ?

16:47.12TomWsorphin: there are others that are probably just as good.  What you want to do is find a "calibration service" and see what they might have.  Most OEM manufacturers are required to have calibrated equipment on hand, these need to be re-calibrated once a year.
16:47.14prpplagueCosmicPenguin: cool
16:47.33mallumkergoth: okey all seems ok now :-)
16:47.34prpplagueCosmicPenguin: any idea when pixil will be up to greg's bloat standard?
16:47.44TomWsorphin: Most times, these calibration shops will also sell new equipment and take the old as trade-in.
16:47.56sorphinTomW: 100mhz ones aren't very cheap :( tho this one is a lil
16:48.05sorphinTomW: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2522247408&category=4677
16:48.08TomWsorphin: you want to "see" the scope, the most expensive part on the scope is the crt!
16:48.43TomWsorphin: you want to see how bright the trace is on the CRT, buying a scope blind is a good way to waste money.
16:49.09sorphinTomW: look at the likn above

16:50.06mallumkergoth: still have problem skeleton be copied no writw though - can you think of a safe way to chmod only the copyied files ?
16:50.13TomWsorphin: I learned the hard way: I purchased a used tektronix scope one time and didn't see it fired up.  When I took it home, I saw how bad the CRT was.  When I checked to see how muach a new CRT would cost, it was far more than I (double) the cost that I paid for the scope!
16:50.18kergothmallum: yes, i'll take care of it
16:50.33sorphinTomW: look at the link :P
16:50.49mallumkergoth: cool, sorry if I've been a bk pain ( again ) :{
16:51.02TomWsorphin: that is what I have, a 465.
16:51.28sorphinTomW: that one look ok to you ? (that auction)
16:51.34kergothmallum: np
16:51.37sorphinmallum: blame bk
16:51.45kergothheh
16:51.56kergothit takes a while to learn the intricacies of a source control system
16:51.59kergothcvs is no exception
16:52.47mallumyeah Im pretty good with CVS, bk seems alot more complex but more powerful / cleverer
16:53.56TomWsorphin: pig in a poke, if you can get it for < $150, it might be a good deal.  You won't know until you get it and find out that the high frequency sweep amplifier has a problem, or the Normal Trigger mode doesn't work...
16:54.14sorphinheh
16:54.24sorphinTomW: the rest are all $300+
16:54.29TomWsorphin: be prepared to waste your money.
16:54.36sorphinheh
16:54.38TomWsorphin: yeah, well, doesn't that tell you something?
16:54.52sorphinTomW: yeah, that i won't be getting one of those :P
16:55.26TomWsorphin: I paid $500 for mine about two years ago and purchased it from a calibration shop.  I went there and tried it out, they demo'ed it before I bought it.
16:55.46TomWsorphin: plus they gave me a year warranty on it.
16:56.12sorphini suppose i could see what gateway electronics has around atm
16:56.25sorphinlocal place,/old ham place
16:56.47TomWIMO, ebay is the perfect place for crooks, liars, and thieves to rip people off.  Let the buyer beware...
16:57.12sorphinheh
16:57.30sorphinTomW: 99% of the time, i've had -0- probs
16:57.53sorphinthe 1% is that so called serious seller (more like serious loser)
16:58.16mallumkergoth: ahh, nice new menu compiler options :-)
16:58.40TomWsorphin: like the guy who sold me my Yeasu VX-5 HT, he said it was like new, never used.  Yeah, right.  When I got it it had repeaters already programmed into it and the Lithium battery was shot.
16:59.35CosmicPenguinI don't understand why Greg doesn't trust me
16:59.54sorphinTomW: never had that prob
17:00.09sorphinCosmicPenguin: three words
17:00.13sorphinCosmicPenguin: he's a loser :P
17:00.20TomWWhen I purchase on ebay, I expect to get ripped off in some way.  Like the guy that sold me a Netgear FA411 PCMCIA card for $9, then charged me $12 in shipping.
17:00.39sorphinTomW: only gotten raped on shipping once
17:01.18TomWTHAT was my fault, I should have expected something like that when he didn't list the shipping & handling charges.
17:01.19sorphinTomW: i've gotten things from ebay that it'd be hard for me to locate here or otherwise
17:01.38kergothmallum: :) makes it easier to build the kernel stuffs with gcc2 and the rest with gcc3 now
17:01.43kergothmallum: i'm lazy, what can i say
17:01.44sorphinTomW: i bought my Z off ebay, brand new, sealed, etc.. just as it said it was
17:01.51sorphinpaid $175 months ago
17:02.12sorphinmaybe a bit less
17:02.22sorphinso sometimes there's good deals/people
17:02.28TomWsorphin: my advice is that if you want something to hack around with, buy it on ebay and hope for the best.  If you need equipment to do work with, spend the extra money and purchase from a reputable shop.
17:03.26sorphinTomW: so why 100mhz? the ones at school i think were 20's and were fine
17:03.46TomWI need a new scope though,  the 465 is now tired.  When I sweep at 20ns/div the trace is hard to see.
17:06.02TomWsorphin: you see that Tektronix 2465 scope for $45, that is a digital storage scope.
17:06.16sorphinok?
17:06.37TomWsorphin: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2521418943&category=4677
17:06.44TomWbut, it is broken.
17:07.15sorphinmore like $113
17:07.44sorphinand he's selling it as a parts only unit

17:08.20TomWI like the one that says "bad power supply"
17:08.45sorphinTomW: gonna answer my Q? :P
17:08.45TomWprolly the supply went and wiped out a few boards inside the scope.
17:08.57TomWwhat questionis that?
17:09.13sorphinTomW: <sorphin> TomW: so why 100mhz? the ones at school i think were 20's and were
17:09.13sorphin<PROTECTED>
17:12.10TomWBecause if you are going to use it view 20 MHz signals, you are fine, that equates to a 100ns/div resolution.  If you just want to see if a signal is wiggling, it is good.  But, if you want to make some measurements as to the length of a RAS pulse on a RAM, or to measure the pulse width on a chip select, it is useless.  At 100MHz you can get down to 20ns/div of resolution and can "see" down to about 5ns with some confidence.
17:12.21chouimatwhere did I put that spec sheet
17:12.28sorphinchouimat: which ?
17:12.48chouimatsorphin: my monitor
17:12.52sorphinchouimat: ah
17:12.55sorphinTomW: heh
17:13.07chouimatsorphin: TTX 8997
17:13.16TomWIMO, you wouldn't be happy with a 20MHz scope, a logic probe is more useful.
17:13.18sorphinTomW: i dunno if i'll be diving into doing that any time soon, since i haven' touched a scope since college ;)
17:13.28sorphinalready got one of those ;)
17:13.32TomWk
17:13.43sorphinlogic probe that is
17:13.44TomWso what do you need a scope for?
17:13.57sorphinheh
17:14.00TomWI'm being faceatious here...
17:14.55TomW100MHz would be the minimum scope.  That way, you can also see most HF, VHF rf signals too.
17:15.04sorphinnod
17:15.19sorphinwish they'd make them not so damn expensive
17:15.31sorphini hate having to spend $400+ for something all the time :P
17:15.35TomWI know that you are going to purchase the 20MHz model, I can feel it.  :)
17:15.52sorphinno
17:16.14TomWsorphin: it is an investment for me, a scope I only use a few times a year (maybe 10..15), but when I need it, I need it.
17:16.45sorphinnod
17:16.56sorphinwell, i'll see what gateway has tomorrow
17:17.12sorphinschool had a thing for BK precision
17:17.55TomWHalf the time I need to make measurements.  Like on the TuxScreen IDE, I didn't understand the SA1100 data sheet as to chip select programming and I needed to measure the pulse width of the chip select to make sure it was > 250ns.
17:18.11sorphinnod
17:18.11TomWBK == cheap
17:18.19sorphinheh
17:18.32TomWBK == Heathkit == cheap == fragile.

17:19.37TomWI need a decent soldering iron, this radio shack shit sux.
17:19.54sorphinheh
17:20.13sorphinerr.. dual wattage
17:20.16TomWthe weller TC201 died and I had to grab one of those.  I have to keep replacing the tips every week or so.
17:20.37TomWThe weller, I had used the same tip for 5 years.
17:20.39sorphini only have to replace the tips when i'm rough w/ em
17:20.42sorphinumm
17:20.48sorphini wouldn't :P
17:20.57sorphini had a weller
17:21.02sorphinbiggest POS i'd ever used
17:21.42TomWI used the 30watt weller to do touchups on SMD (fine pitch) stuff.  I works for me.
17:21.52TomWs/I works/it works/
17:21.57sorphini used to always use a 30watt
17:22.05sorphinnow i rarely do
17:22.19sorphinunless i find the 15w isn't 'strong' enough
17:22.25TomWI have a teeny-tiny little 10 watt pencil that I bought, that thing sux.
17:22.41sorphinmy 15w setting is usually enough
17:22.43TomWlousy for doing smd work.
17:22.48sorphinTomW: it's so funny
17:22.52TomW.. my tiny iron.
17:22.56sorphinthe RS guy when i bought the tip
17:23.11sorphinhe was trying to tell me the iron was gonna burn it up
17:23.20sorphincuz i wanted to make sure it would physically fit
17:23.22sorphinheh
17:23.29sorphinduh, the iron is 15W too
17:23.30sorphinmoron
17:23.37sorphinfinally i got him to shut the fsck up
17:23.46TomWWell, the tips on my rs iron keep rounding off.
17:24.04sorphinmine too, but only cuz i try and sharpen them more :P
17:24.08TomWIf I was going to just solder wire with it, it would be okay.
17:24.53sorphinTomW: was looking at microscopes a few weeks ago
17:25.05sorphinwhy can't it be simple to choose things? :P
17:25.42TomWwith the 30 watt weller, I had taken one of the tips and filed it slightly so I could wet it with a pocket of solder, then I could get under the microscope and resolder the SMD leads.
17:25.55sorphinnod
17:26.12TomWyeah, those microscopes are not cheap!
17:26.28sorphinTomW: i doubt i'm doing anything near as advanced as you're doing ;p
17:26.44sorphinTomW: actaually it wasn't a cheap issue

20:20.07CosmicPenguinThe binaries are in build/ipkgtmp/lrzsz-<version>/
