00:18.18jacqueshi TomW
00:18.56TomWhello
00:19.15TomWanother nice night in the Pocono Mountains
00:20.19TomWlocusts are chirping, 68 degrees out, and kernel code is trashing.  heh
00:23.10TomWcrap, "Module autoprobing not allowed"
00:23.45jacquesnot allowed ?
00:23.47file[wifi]not allowed?!?!? I am root, hear me type!
00:24.35jacquesyeah what file[wifi] said
00:24.53TomWjacques: yeah, /drivers/net/cs89x0.c
00:25.32TomWhmmm, well, it says "if (io == 0) { ..." so, ..
00:32.17TomWdarned virtual to physical mapping screwup of some kind.  It isn't even attempting to access that region of the memory map.  Ok, time to hardcode it and see what happens.

01:56.36file[wifi]nice
02:00.48TomWyeah! finally, I got the 2.5" drive interface working and now the ethernet chip.  I still need to get the compact flash & quad serial port running.
02:02.17sorphinnod
02:02.47sorphinbigbrd told me a couple things to scope on my webpal flasher board, we're gonna try some hello world type progs when he gets back from vacation, if i can't write them myself
02:03.17TomWsorphin: what flasher board?
02:03.32sorphinTomW: umm. i built the webpal simm flasher that bigbrd did
02:03.57TomWok, that ties into a parallel port of the PC, right?
02:04.03sorphinserial
02:04.23TomWoh, right, the PIC thingy
02:04.28sorphinya
02:04.37sorphinwpflash doesn't seem to see the thing tho
02:04.42sorphinhence our diagnosing
02:04.46TomW:( not much to debug there with just a chip
02:04.46sorphinthe pic flashes ok
02:04.55sorphinon the pic flashing board
02:05.04sorphinTomW: well, there's signals to verify
02:05.11sorphinMCLR, OSC
02:05.27TomWwell, you now have a scope...
02:05.33sorphinyeah
02:05.42sorphinmay do that this weekend since my weekend plans go trashed again
02:05.46TomWbut, now you gotta learn how to use it?
02:06.17sorphineh?
02:06.20sorphini know how to use a scope
02:06.46sorphingpsfan already filled me in the day i got it on the stuff on *this* type of scope (since it's been a few years since i'd touched a scope)
02:07.00sorphinalready used it a few times since
02:08.14sorphinTomW: here's a puzzle for you.. my series 2 tivo won't see a vcr when you use RF or RCA, but if you toss it onto SVideo (just via a switch box/or/adaper that i made), it sees it fine :P
02:08.25sorphinbefore i thought it was signal level (< 1.0V)
02:08.34sorphinbut since it's working on artificial svid
02:08.38sorphindoesnt sound like it
02:09.12*** join/#elinux xrharris (~xrharris@proxyle01.ext.ti.com)
02:12.49TomWwhat is "artificial svid"
02:12.57TomW?
02:13.36TomWsorphin: so, you normally attach an SVID cable between the Tivo & VCR?
02:15.20sorphinTomW: it's using a little adapter or this A/V switchre
02:15.36sorphinthat just converts RCA to svid (just the proper wiring and a ceramic cap)
02:15.39sorphinor vise versa
02:16.10sorphinobviously not super high qual that real svid would be (or component)
02:16.22TomWsorphin: so, you normally attach an SVID cable between the Tivo & VCR?
02:16.25sorphinbut it's not bad (looks teh same as the rca normally would)
02:16.30sorphinno
02:16.33sorphinnormally rca
02:16.51sorphinthe vcr is rca or rf
02:17.02TomWWhich one lets you record the signal: RCA or SVID?
02:17.12sorphinsvid
02:17.16TomWk
02:17.24TomWinteresting
02:17.25sorphinwhich is funny since all the 'svid' in this case is
02:17.30sorphinis split signal
02:17.47sorphinw/ that cap
02:18.17TomWsorphin: so, you want to record tapes or something off the VCR but cannot, correct?
02:18.19sorphinbasically the reverse of svid to rca (combining luminance and the other one)
02:18.25sorphinyes
02:18.42sorphinstill need to pick me up a time base corrector tho to help stablize/clean up the vhs signal
02:18.49TomWnot familiar with the signals on SVID.
02:19.25sorphinTomW: basically combine 2 lines and come up w/ bastard composite
02:19.34TomWdunno
02:19.40sorphinthat was a statement
02:19.49sorphinthat's exactly what happens
02:20.00sorphinjust can't rememebr the other signal name.. brain is toast
02:20.16sorphinanyways
02:20.18sorphinleast it works
02:20.52sorphinand cheaper than outsourcing the conversion/buying yet anotehr capture card since my wintv won't do 720x480
02:24.12TomWI don't do much with my TV except turn it on once in a while
02:24.47sorphinnod
02:26.21TomWok, webpal boots and brings up the ehternet chip.  That is enough work for today (well two days).
02:36.30genbiei am new to embedded stuff .. can someone advice me on which is better host  platform to expermiment with embedded development on?? opteron workstation which is x86 capable or powerpc-based apple mac?
02:37.03genbieor maybe no difference?
02:56.04TomWgenbie: I use a PC running Mandrake
02:56.42genbieTomW cool.. would you consider using an apple running linux?
02:57.05TomWsorphin: found the mistake on the compact flash, I wired the wrong signal to one of the pins.
02:57.33TomWgenbie: I don't have an opinion about using a mac w/ linux
02:58.34genbieTomW Ok but i mean as a development host for embedded systems you think pc better than mac? (not necessarily running linux)
02:58.39TomWgenbie: I don't see why it shouldn't work.  you have to use a cross-compiler with most embedded stuff so the native dev tools are only to compile your cross environ.
02:59.03TomWgenbie: I'm biased, I could never afford a mac.  ;)
02:59.18genbieOK lol...
02:59.30TomWgenbie: besides, I like more than one button on my mouse.
02:59.54genbiebut i mean dont development tools also play an important role? are they more readily available for an x86-based system?
03:01.06genbiewhen you say the native dev tools are only to compile the cross env..you mean they are only useful for my development host pc?? not for the target embedded system?
03:01.18TomWnaw, I don't think so.  the main thing is to be able to load the gcc & bintools onto your apple. Once you can compile the kernel for the mac and install a new kernel, then you shouldn't have much problems doing cross-dev work.
03:02.16genbietomw cool..thanx for clarifying that
03:03.03TomWgenbie: your native gcc & bintools will build your apole kernel.  To do dev work on, say ARM, you need to build a cross compiler & bintools for ARM targets.  You simply recompile the gcc & bintools sources so they emit ARM code.
03:03.44genbietomw thanks..i was a bit confused about that
03:05.10genbietomw my main concern was if commercial dev tools are avaialble for one host and not for another..but since i am new to thi stuff i dont know how important their role is...
03:06.56TomWcommercail stuff is commercial stuff.  IMO, commercial dev tools are for those who don't want to learn anything: just plug & pray (call tech support).
03:07.07genbielol OK
03:07.24TomWgenbie: where do you thing the gcc commercial dev tools come from in the first place?
03:07.49TomWsorphin: Compact flash still won't work.  :(
03:08.18genbiefrom gcc.gnu :)
03:09.47genbiethx tomw for your help

11:58.15TomWgood morning world
11:59.49chouimathi TomW
12:01.20TomWchouimat: hello
12:01.44TomWchouimat: got the ethernet chip working on the webpal board last night.
12:02.14chouimatTomW: good ... I will back from vacations next week
12:02.43TomWchouimat: only two jumpers on the board ... so far.
12:02.56TomWchouimat: what is vacation for you?
12:03.36chouimatTomW: I'm currently at the kde conference in nove hrady czech republic and yes the women are HOT here
12:04.59TomWchouimat: wow! czech republic, cool!  They let you in there with a Canadian passport?  ;)
12:05.15chouimatplus a visa :(
12:05.35TomWchouimat: heh, yeah, prolly had to get visa too, right?
12:06.00chouimati needed it so I paid 80cad for it
12:06.28TomWchouimat: plus, you also had to swear that you wouldn't be taking any of their women home with you?
12:06.35chouimatnope
12:06.42TomWlol
12:07.03chouimatTomW: but i think klm won't let me bring one in my luggage ;)
12:07.12TomWchouimat: you are having entirely too much fun, stop that!
12:07.51TomWis it expensive to visit there?
12:08.05TomWchouimat: I mean, like the cost of food & such?
12:08.38chouimatactually a 1 cad worth about 20 CZK and a beer is about 15CZK and for food is about 100-200 CZK
12:09.32chouimatit's less expensive because we are not in prague .... we have a room in prague and it's something like 70 euro/nights
12:09.55chouimatTomW:  1 euro is 30 czk
12:10.06TomWthey still price stuff in kronos (?) or Euros?
12:10.14chouimatczk
12:10.44TomWhmph, figure all of Europe would be hopping on Euro pricing
12:11.04chouimatso the beer is 0.50 euro, 0.75 cad, 0.66 usd etc ...
12:12.40TomWheh
12:13.29chouimatTomW: a food is about 5 cad with a beer
12:13.37chouimats/a/and
12:13.37TomWyeah, you need to take a currency convertor along for the first couple of days.  But, for you Canadians, it must seem cheap to you not to have to pay the tax on stuff you buy.
12:14.35chouimatTomW: is actually easy we are 2 canadian here and we divided everything by 20, the european by 30 and the american by 25 - 27
12:15.05TomWchouimat: see, now, you live in czech republic and keep your Canadian citizenship, you would be money ahead.  Oh, wait, you only have to goto the U.S. to be able to do that, right?
12:15.19TomWheh
12:15.39TomWthat is why there is so many Canadians living in the U.S., I see..
12:15.41chouimatTomW: I going back home monday ... we are leaving for prague tomorrow morning
12:16.12TomWchouimat: have fun, take lots of pictures and .. be sure to hug one of the pretty women, ok?
12:17.03chouimatTomW: allready done ;)
12:17.23TomWchouimat: good boy, must keep priorities straight!
12:17.45chouimatyup
12:17.50TomWchouimat: all software coding and no babes...
12:18.23chouimatcurrently we are coding a lot here
12:18.47TomWchouimat: what is it, a "boot camp" to do KDE programming?
12:19.05TomWs/do/learn/
12:19.16chouimatTomW:  hackfest for a week lots of new features
12:19.24TomWcool
12:19.52TomWwhat, with kdevelop.  Teaches you what a .moc file is supposed to be for?
12:20.45chouimatno new stuff in kdevelop like distcc monitoring, embedded support, whiteboard app etc ...
12:21.22TomWok, kind of a grand tour of the desktop then
12:22.30chouimatTomW: no actually the people here are the actual kde developer so we have talk about new features, and now we are designing new features for our respective pet project
12:27.58TomWchouimat: ok
12:28.44TomWchouimat: well, have fun.  I am going back to coding on the webpal.  I have to see why the compact flash socket is not working, the 2.5" drive interface is working but that is not.
12:29.44chouimatok any idea how much this board will cost?
12:58.22sorphin1,000,000,000 dollars
13:00.45TomWchouimat: haven't tally'ed up the cost yet.  The PCB itself is $33, but that is without gold on the edge connector.  Some of the components are pricey: SC26L194 Quad UART == $28, LT1331 RS232 chips == $8 per, CS8900 ethernet == $9...
