14:37.37CosmicPenguinThats 'sir' to you, solider!
14:41.03mbufCosmicPenguin, i have released the quilt tutorial and code, with README and LICENSE - http://shakthimaan.com/downloads.html
14:51.44CosmicPenguinYou should still have the PDF somewhere
14:51.45CosmicPenguinOf course, I guess I could always download it and repost it on our twiki
14:51.45CosmicPenguinbut I'm a lazy man
14:51.46mbufCosmicPenguin, ohh, i have put the source in .tex so you can build it and use .ps or .pdf or .html or any other format you want
14:51.46CosmicPenguinheh
14:51.46CosmicPenguinOk, I'll can dig that
14:51.46mbufCosmicPenguin, you'll need Tetex package to be installed from your distro
14:51.47mbufCosmicPenguin, is it ok if i ask you - where do you work?
14:51.47CosmicPenguinI work for AMD
14:51.48sjhill"work" is a relative term for CosmicPenguin
14:51.48mbufCosmicPenguin, cool
14:51.48CosmicPenguinsjhill: fair enough... I sit in a AMD building and drink their coffee

14:51.51chouimatmorning
14:51.52CosmicPenguinchouimat: you left?
14:51.52CosmicPenguin:)
14:51.52prpplagueusbnet seems to work ok other that i get alot of interrupts
14:51.52prpplaguebut the serial driver seems to have some issues
14:51.52chouimatCosmicPenguin: yes last night after 6 beers and 2 bottles of wine
14:51.58CosmicPenguinI would have left too
14:52.53chouimatlol http://ca.askmen.com/jokes/2006_apr/apr10.html
14:53.05mbufi have a 2.6.13.2-lc5 (lc - littlechips) patch for s3c2410 ARM, and is there any way i can find out from where they have obtained the ARM patch for this kernel version? Makefiles EXTRAVERSION only says .2
14:54.18CosmicPenguinIf they don't bother documenting their sources, then I think you are SOL
14:54.22prpplaguembuf: more than likely it is from the simtec patches as well as portions of the h1930/1940 patches
14:54.33CosmicPenguinYou can try to match particular files against versions of the ARM patches, but....
14:55.16prpplaguembuf: the patches for the littlechip board for 2.4 were from simtec and were included in sequencial patches on the cd
14:58.10prpplaguembuf: i'd be willing to bet the 2.6.13 kernel patch you are looking at is based on the h1940 patches
14:58.22prpplaguembuf: http://www.handhelds.org/moin/moin.cgi/HpIpaqH1940Downloads
15:05.16mbufprpplague, thanks
15:09.03prpplaguembuf: no problem
15:09.03CosmicPenguinstupid ghostscript
15:13.02CosmicPenguinmbuf: a couple of things
15:13.12CosmicPenguinmbuf: first, my dvips wasn't creating an output file - I don't know why
15:13.23mbufCosmicPenguin, which distro ?
15:13.23CosmicPenguinmbuf: I had to add a -o $(INPUT).ps to the command line
15:13.27CosmicPenguinmbuf: gentoo
15:13.36mbufCosmicPenguin, i see
15:13.41CosmicPenguinsecondly, the targets in your makefile should have dependancies
15:13.52CosmicPenguinso if you do make pdf, it will make the dvi first
15:14.36CosmicPenguinBut, other then that, everything is working fine and happy
15:14.58mbufCosmicPenguin, intention is just to do a make; dvi i used for debugging
15:15.06CosmicPenguinmbuf: but what about make pdf?
15:15.37CosmicPenguinyou could just make all build pdf, and then make pdf depend on latex
15:15.46CosmicPenguinor just get rid of latex and pdf all together and put the targets under all
15:15.48mbufCosmicPenguin, actually latex creates the .dvi here for me in Debian Sarge 3.1r0a
15:15.59CosmicPenguinYeah, latex creates my .dvi too
15:16.02mbufCosmicPenguin, when i do latex
15:16.10CosmicPenguinbut make clean; make pdf doesn't work, because the .dvi disappears
15:16.18CosmicPenguinYou see what I'm gettingat?
15:16.27mbufCosmicPenguin, ohh ok
15:16.31mbufCosmicPenguin, :)

19:49.19fishheadbut you got to wire up that port etc seems like too much of a pain in the ass
19:49.29fishheadwhile if we just did it with nor we could replace the onboard rom
19:49.40fishheadif the jb was just going to be used as a lcd display
19:49.43fishheadnot as a mini-computer
19:49.48prpplaguefishhead: uh nand takes less wires than nor
19:50.16prpplaguefishhead: you are doing far less with the nand chip than with the nor
19:50.31fishheadyeah dude but by the time I buy a smartmedia card, adaptor, etc doesn't see work it
19:50.50prpplaguefishhead: ???
19:50.54fishheadI could probably fit palmORB code in a small nor chip and just solder swap the onboard rom

19:51.19prpplaguefishhead: you make no sense something, hehe
19:51.30fishheaddude you remeber how you replaced the onboard rom
19:51.32fishheadfirst thing you did
19:51.47fishheadwhen you first got a jb
19:51.57prpplagues/replaces/replaced
19:51.59fishheadyou did on the JB
19:52.05fishheadI remeber you talking about it
19:52.22fishheadand remebe ryou guys were trying to find cheap tsop sockets
19:52.25fishheadas a result
19:52.30fishheaddude I will find the linux bbs entry
19:52.31fishheadhang on
19:52.32prpplaguefishhead: it wasn't me
19:52.38fishheadok lemme recheck

19:53.01prpplaguefishhead: http://www.surpluscomputers.com/store/main.aspx?p=ItemDetail&item=DRV10792
19:53.16prpplaguefishhead: look you can get a sm adapter and some sm cards there cheap
19:53.31fishheadwill that adaptor do raw flash access though
19:53.40fishheadso we can code it the way the jb rom looks for
19:54.26prpplaguefishhead: the adapter is just for the socket
19:54.30fishheadoh ok
19:54.40fishheaddon't we need a way to program the card
19:54.40prpplaguefishhead: don't even really need that
19:54.49prpplaguefishhead: you can solder directly to the sm pads
19:54.57fishheadyes I know that
19:55.09fishheadwhy I totally threw out the idea of ever using XD
19:55.11fishheadtoo damn small
19:55.35fishheadplus my neurological problems have gotten a bit worse as has my eyesight
19:55.42fishheadso I might be finished before I start anyways :/
19:55.46fishheadshaking in my hands is worse
19:56.08fishheadI guess my main reason for wanting to use nor was I Have a supply right now
19:56.12fishheadI am familiar with it
19:56.25fishheadand I have ways using a old motherboard bios socket or ethernet card with boot rom socket to program it
19:56.56fishheadand just hack off the existing rom on the jb and put it in it's place
19:57.05fishheadfor a limited use as just a graphical lcd
19:57.06fishheadnothing else
19:57.52fishheadbrb swapping pc's
19:57.58prpplaguefishhead: then don't worry about chopping of the CoB, just cut the chip select, and solder the reset
19:58.46fishheadyeah once the jb's at kmart get down to $5 I might get a cheap 2 meg unit and try
