| 00:37.21 | jamie | Has anyone here worked on a Sigma Designs 8621L or similar? |
| 00:44.01 | cdm | mmmm...doing MPEG decode hardware support jamie? |
| 00:47.51 | jamie | well, I'm not doing that bit, Sigma's done that :-) |
| 00:48.59 | jamie | I'm looking for someone to answer a few _really basic_ questions not found on the SD web site, as I don't have the chip's documentation ($$$). |
| 00:52.51 | jamie | It's quite a nice chip, but for the difficulty getting docs for it. |
| 00:53.02 | jamie | Plays high-def MPEGs nicely :) |
| 00:53.15 | cdm | that is what I ment - adding support to Linux for that chipset. ;) |
| 00:53.18 | cdm | not doing the hardware. |
| 00:53.52 | jamie | The 8620/21L (see www.sigmadesigns.com) has Linux support already. |
| 00:54.02 | jamie | It's an ARM + video decoder basically. |
| 00:54.23 | jamie | But I gather that much of the video functionality is in binary drivers. |
| 00:54.42 | cdm | yeah - they aren't big on giving out that level of info without strict NDAs in place. |
| 00:55.23 | jamie | Even then they aren't. The folks I'm working for didn't even get a response out of Sigma's sales rep, but we found a 3rd party who uses them. |
| 00:57.02 | jamie | Still, good enough to make a video player that's cheaper and quieter than a mini-ITX :) |
| 00:57.57 | cdm | has to be in their intrerest too. :) |
| 00:58.35 | jacques | hmm I'm also interested in lirc config for shannon keyboards |
| 01:38.33 | fishhead | jamie |
| 01:38.39 | fishhead | did you see all the info on the juicebox months ago |
| 01:38.40 | jamie | yes? |
| 01:38.52 | fishhead | $60 kids video player down to $13 walmart clearance and the mp3 kit which was $39 down to $9 |
| 01:38.53 | jamie | what's the juicebox? (I guess not :) |
| 01:38.56 | fishhead | uclinux |
| 01:38.57 | fishhead | 60mhz arm |
| 01:39.00 | fishhead | 240x160 lcd |
| 01:39.03 | fishhead | 256 color though |
| 01:39.21 | fishhead | plays movies from special carts but can view pics or play mp3 from sd using the mp3 adaptor cart which you can make yourself btw |
| 01:39.23 | jamie | Ah. I'm working on a video player to drive 1024x768 LCDs upwards to 1920x1080. |
| 01:39.35 | fishhead | well yeah I know this isn't even on the same universe |
| 01:39.40 | fishhead | but if you want something just for fun for $13 :P |
| 01:39.51 | fishhead | #pixterdev if you get interested and prpp is the main hacker |
| 01:39.58 | fishhead | he's usually in this channel |
| 01:39.59 | jamie | I looked for quite long time for an ARM with decent video... the Sigma Designs thing just sort of turned up by accident. |
| 01:40.01 | jamie | ok. |
| 01:40.11 | jamie | bear in mind I'm not in the US ;-) |
| 01:40.23 | fishhead | oh then you can't get the deal :( |
| 01:40.39 | fishhead | unless the thing goes bust totally and gets cheap everywhere |
| 01:40.47 | fishhead | i'll try to let you know |
| 01:41.03 | fishhead | I bought 7 :P |
| 01:41.15 | fishhead | sold one, gave one to 3 yr old nephew just to play the videos you can buy for it :) |
| 01:41.20 | jamie | so to play movies, it needs the extra hardware of special carts? |
| 01:41.29 | fishhead | well all the cart is is a rom |
| 01:41.36 | fishhead | we are trying to find out how to make it play video from SD |
| 01:41.52 | fishhead | also when it plays video either from cart or demo built into it's flash it loads a video player os |
| 01:41.53 | fishhead | customer |
| 01:41.55 | fishhead | custom |
| 01:42.01 | fishhead | only uses uclinux for pics or mp3 playback |
| 01:42.11 | fishhead | we will find out eventualy :) |
| 01:42.14 | jamie | :) |
| 01:42.17 | fishhead | btw if you find one cheap |
| 01:42.22 | fishhead | get one without the pinhole led on the front |
| 01:42.39 | fishhead | the ones without the pinhole have 8 meg ram vs 2 and the rom is a package instead of a glob makes it easier to unsolder |
| 01:43.16 | jamie | well, I appreciate the tips, but I probably won't see one, and I'm looking at the "bigger picture" i.e. HDTV-size anyway |
| 01:43.25 | fishhead | well hell yeah that's better |
| 01:43.26 | fishhead | :) |
| 01:43.40 | fishhead | I also have a palm t5 and they have a free video player out now |
| 01:43.49 | fishhead | does pretty well with existing divx files that aren't even screen size |
| 01:44.00 | fishhead | little sluggish but not bad if I recoded them it would probably playback perfect |
| 01:44.10 | jamie | looked for ages for an ARM or MIPS or something with decent video on the same board, and didn't find one until recently. Thought I'd have to use a mini-ITX PC. But the Sigma Designs chip, if you can get it or a board with it on, is pretty good. |
| 01:44.20 | fishhead | neat |
| 01:44.23 | fishhead | i tell you |
| 01:44.30 | fishhead | when arm was still acorn computer |
| 01:44.34 | jamie | It's increasingly found in DVD players etc. I think, so you might stumble across it. |
| 01:44.39 | fishhead | whoever suggested they start licencing their cpu |
| 01:44.45 | fishhead | was a genius |
| 01:44.48 | jamie | yes, I remember when ARM was first announced :) |
| 01:44.53 | fishhead | and probably has his own state |
| 01:44.57 | fishhead | the company paid for |
| 01:44.58 | fishhead | :P |
| 01:45.09 | fishhead | mips isn't doing bad either |
| 01:45.09 | jamie | They're owned by Intel now. |
| 01:45.14 | fishhead | uhh |
| 01:45.16 | fishhead | since when |
| 01:45.24 | fishhead | intel only has the strongarm version |
| 01:45.39 | jamie | ah, easily confused :) |
| 01:45.49 | fishhead | intel got that when they bought out DEC |
| 01:45.56 | fishhead | na there are |
| 01:46.14 | jamie | didn't someone design an ARM-intruction-set-compatible CPU for an FPGA, only to be threatened with a lawsuit by ARM? |
| 01:46.16 | CARL_SAGEN | BILLIONS AND BILLIONS OF ARM LICENCEE'S |
| 01:46.31 | jamie | I think that's why so many random little chips use MIPS. |
| 01:46.37 | CARL_SAGEN | na |
| 01:46.41 | CARL_SAGEN | texas instruments has one |
| 01:46.42 | jamie | At least you can use all but two of the MIPS instructions without a license! |
| 01:46.44 | CARL_SAGEN | called OMAP |
| 01:46.46 | CARL_SAGEN | ARM + TI DSP |
| 01:46.51 | CARL_SAGEN | the palm's used to use that |
| 01:46.56 | jamie | yeah, but I bet TI licensed something from ARM to do that. |
| 01:47.02 | CARL_SAGEN | for t1, t2, but t3 and t5 use strongarm |
| 01:47.07 | CARL_SAGEN | yes they did |
| 01:47.12 | CARL_SAGEN | there is intel strongarm |
| 01:47.19 | CARL_SAGEN | there is samsung which is what the juicebox uses |
| 01:47.21 | CARL_SAGEN | and many more |
| 01:47.31 | CARL_SAGEN | company that bought licence and make their own flavor |
| 01:47.34 | CARL_SAGEN | same with mips |
| 01:47.40 | jamie | It bothers me that lawsuits can be threatened over an instruction set. |
| 01:48.01 | CARL_SAGEN | yeah I am pretty conservative and pro business but the patent abuses are getting rediculous |
| 01:48.15 | CARL_SAGEN | suing someone over "blue cpu" patent is just flat out GAY |
| 01:48.31 | jamie | "blue cpu" patent? Is that where it's housed in a blue ceramic? |
| 01:48.40 | CARL_SAGEN | yeah there are literally patents that bad |
| 01:48.42 | CARL_SAGEN | :/ |
| 01:48.50 | jamie | bugger. I was hoping to make one of those. |
| 01:49.05 | CARL_SAGEN | btw the samsung arm is a arm7tdmi |
| 01:49.09 | CARL_SAGEN | well this model is for the juicebox |
| 01:49.16 | CARL_SAGEN | tdmi is a low end model no mmu |
| 01:49.28 | CARL_SAGEN | which is fine it's used in a ton of embedded stiuff like all those home routers |
| 01:49.56 | CARL_SAGEN | I guess tdmi would be the dragonball m68k of the arm family |
| 01:50.00 | CARL_SAGEN | arm7tdmi |

| 04:26.32 | Soopaman | how much? |

| 05:53.16 | T0mW | I'm still not sure how I got it working though, it "magically" appeared |

| 05:54.42 | jacques | yeah lirc is another one |
| 05:55.04 | jacques | I was very disappointed at how much CPU lirc uses |
| 05:55.08 | jacques | is it still like that? |
| 05:56.19 | T0mW | ok, where is the mysql script now..... |
| 06:12.01 | MonMotha | T0mW: someone really needs to make a quick little hackish script to do just IR blaster stuff without having to run lirc |
| 06:12.39 | T0mW | :/ |
| 06:13.19 | T0mW | lots of stuff need to be done with remote control (set top box) in linux. |
| 06:13.56 | T0mW | sometimes I think there is a slew of (l)users but not many developers, I'm guilty |
| 06:14.08 | MonMotha | me as well |
| 06:14.30 | MonMotha | part of the problem is that lirc is an abomination that nobody wants to work on |
| 06:14.41 | T0mW | heh, I'm going to register my Mom at zap2it, wonder if they will think a 72 year old woman is a computer geek? |
| 06:14.56 | T0mW | that's a good word: abomination! |

| 06:17.53 | MonMotha | I have a PCHDTV card, seems to work, though I can't get signal in here :( |
| 06:18.25 | MonMotha | been tempted to get an Air2PC card for the QAM tuning, since I don't believe the PCHDTV folk ever got that working |
| 06:20.12 | MonMotha | * The drivers for pcHDTV 3000 have been merged in the vanilla kernel 2.6.12-rc1 or later. <--- awesome |
| 06:20.17 | MonMotha | now I don't have to patch the living crap out of my kernel |
| 06:26.27 | jacques | hmm if I wanna get a HD card apparently I have to do it soon |
| 06:27.49 | T0mW | yeah, me too, I wonder what to purchase. Isn't that broadcast flag thingy going to happen soon? |
| 06:28.02 | jacques | yeah, like june 1 or something |

| 06:31.29 | MonMotha | I had it working momentarily at home back with the old v4l drivers |
| 06:31.39 | MonMotha | I have it using DVB now, and it can see a station, but can't even get the callsign |
| 06:36.53 | T0mW | jacques: so, we have to purchase a card soon, eh? |
| 06:37.49 | jacques | or two |
| 06:55.57 | T0mW | well... lirc won't work, why am I not surprised? |

| 07:02.33 | MonMotha | jacques: so make a smaller one |
| 07:02.37 | MonMotha | they're pretty darn simple |
| 07:03.19 | jacques | yeah I might have to do that |
| 07:06.41 | MonMotha | I need to figure out how to get the PCHDTV DVB drivers to load without using hotplug/udev |
| 07:06.55 | MonMotha | there's no real reason to use all that stuff on this system since the config is completely stati |

| 21:09.41 | TimRiker | prpplague: you saw the posts on the list just now, yes? fsf is getting involved. |
| 21:11.21 | prpplague | TimRiker: yea, just wondering what the "minor issues" were |
| 21:11.33 | prpplague | TimRiker: i need to get fsf involved with the juicebox |
| 21:12.07 | T0mW | minor issue could be that supplied source doesn't compile? |
| 21:12.09 | T0mW | heh |
| 21:15.29 | TimRiker | prpplague: 1) no mention of GPL/LGPL in packaging, 2) no sources or offer for sources included 3) no object file for the Zipit binary. Note that number 3 is _not_ a minor issue in my opinion. |
| 21:16.29 | TimRiker | I'd just like them to convert over to using bb, iwconfig, and zipit off one dynamic uclibc, with no glibc in the picture. |
| 21:17.27 | TimRiker | save space and likely run faster. I have no idea why they use glibc for Zipit. I expect they got the other binaries from "someone else" and the working toolchain they use is for glibc. |
| 21:34.34 | fishhead | OH BTW |
