| 08:53.08 | eFfeM_work | w|zzy: maybe http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/DSPLink_FAQs |
| 08:53.26 | eFfeM_work | and http://www.iheartrobotics.com/2010/03/omap-dsplink-tutorials.html |
| 08:53.37 | w|zzy | Thans eFfeM_work.. |
| 08:53.42 | w|zzy | I have about 50million tabs open |
| 08:53.46 | eFfeM_work | never tried them myself though |
| 08:53.50 | w|zzy | my angstrom kernel and rootfs worked first time. |
| 08:54.13 | eFfeM_work | cool |
| 08:54.19 | w|zzy | I might tweak a few things and get the board to boot a kernel straight away then ill be able to do it all from work via ssh |
| 08:54.26 | w|zzy | Thanks for the links |
| 08:54.42 | eFfeM_work | yw |
| 08:55.19 | w|zzy | There is a lot more doco about omap3 chips. |
| 08:55.31 | w|zzy | Probably due to its popularity with the beagle board |
| 08:56.39 | scrts | morning guys ;) |
| 08:57.49 | w|zzy | hi scrts |
| 09:07.35 | eFfeM_work | scrts: hi |
| 09:08.23 | eFfeM_work | w|zzy: i think the dsp comm mechanism is the same (actually I vaguely recall there are 2 or 3 different ways to do it, dsplink being one of them) |
| 09:08.25 | eFfeM_work | forgot details |
| 09:08.49 | w|zzy | No worries.. |
| 09:09.03 | w|zzy | Its only been a couple of days.. |
| 09:09.06 | w|zzy | Ill slowly learn it. |
| 09:09.29 | w|zzy | How would one go about making a logic analyser with a board like this? |
| 09:10.37 | eFfeM_work | if you want to make an analyser, i suggest not to use a dsp, but instead use an FPGA |
| 09:10.53 | w|zzy | Figured you might say that. |
| 09:12.29 | w|zzy | What do you use your hawkboard for? Or what are you planning to use it for? |
| 09:14.49 | eFfeM_work | probably as a small in-home file/media server |
| 09:15.16 | eFfeM_work | not sure yet what to use; might also use my sheevaplug for it |
| 09:15.25 | eFfeM_work | has too much hardware floating around |
| 09:16.30 | w|zzy | I am much the same. |
| 09:17.02 | w|zzy | Most of my other stuff is avr gear |
| 09:17.19 | eFfeM_work | ah nice, never played with avr |
| 09:17.36 | w|zzy | They are good for what they are good for. |
| 09:17.53 | w|zzy | The hawkboard is cool in having a sata port. |
| 09:18.01 | w|zzy | I liked the header pinouts. |
| 09:18.09 | w|zzy | I could always integrate it with some other project. |
| 09:18.13 | w|zzy | Right now im just learning alot |
| 09:21.32 | w|zzy | off the top of your head what makes and fpga more suitable for logic analysing? |
| 09:35.25 | eFfeM_work | w|zzy: fpga is real hw, you can fetch data at the speed of the fpga clock w/o issues that the cpu/dsp is doing something else |
| 09:35.30 | eFfeM_work | guess it will be faster too |
| 09:35.56 | w|zzy | Makes sense. You dont really have to worry about data buses and external memory with an fpga |
| 09:35.59 | eFfeM_work | and yeah, sata on hawk is nice although probably I'll be using an usb HD for my project anyway |
| 09:36.05 | eFfeM_work | yup |
| 09:36.20 | w|zzy | a usb HD. the hawkboard is a little overkill for that isnt it? |
| 09:37.12 | eFfeM_work | well, i have a few of them handy, including some neat 1.8" ones |
| 09:37.23 | eFfeM_work | just reusing what is there |
| 09:37.31 | w|zzy | Cool! |
| 09:37.45 | w|zzy | The board could probably very comfortably run a home automation setup |
| 09:38.31 | eFfeM_work | yes, would love to use it for that too, but the issue is finding decent/affordable periphs |
| 09:38.45 | eFfeM_work | would like to start with monitoring eg electricity/gas/water usage |
| 09:38.52 | eFfeM_work | and control the central heating |
| 09:39.35 | w|zzy | Hobbiest electronics components should do the job. |
| 09:40.29 | w|zzy | then again you did say gas/water usage. |
| 09:40.43 | w|zzy | a gas flow sensor would get expensive |
| 09:41.34 | *** join/#hawkboard wolfspraul (~wolfsprau@lucia.q-ag.de) |
| 09:41.56 | w|zzy | I was trying to build a live chroma keying(green screen) application on the computer a while back. |
| 09:42.07 | w|zzy | With the vpif input i could probably work to do that on this board. |
| 09:42.12 | w|zzy | Right up the dsp's alley. |
| 09:42.25 | w|zzy | Though it may not be powerful enough. |
| 09:42.36 | w|zzy | Comes down to how particular you are. |
| 09:46.35 | eFfeM_work | yup, sounds interesting |
| 09:46.51 | eFfeM_work | wrt flow sensors: and they need professional installing |
| 09:47.56 | eFfeM_work | this guy used an optical detector: |
| 09:47.57 | eFfeM_work | http://www.bwired.nl/ |
| 09:48.02 | eFfeM_work | very nice site |
| 09:57.42 | w|zzy | i hate his site :P |
| 09:57.54 | w|zzy | but i love his work! |
| 10:00.13 | eFfeM_work | true |
| 10:00.31 | eFfeM_work | and i would not publish my data to the world |
| 10:03.19 | w|zzy | Imagine trying to argue your energy bill.. |
| 10:03.26 | eFfeM_work | <grin> |
| 10:03.29 | w|zzy | "But sir it says on your website you used x amount" |
| 10:03.45 | eFfeM_work | yeah, explain them you made an error |
| 10:03.53 | w|zzy | i think his hot water monitoring went down |
| 10:07.19 | eFfeM_work | he's saving, family needs to take cold shower |
| 10:07.44 | w|zzy | He isnt divorced? |
| 10:08.21 | eFfeM_work | not that I am aware of, but I feel it is quite big brotherish to monitor when your kids have the light on in their room |
| 10:08.47 | w|zzy | Absolutely. |
| 10:09.10 | w|zzy | kids these days are terrible. Turning on all the lights as they move throughout the house |
| 10:09.34 | eFfeM_work | actually on the home page there is a body weight monitor seems he is not divorced and his wife is named conchita (not a real dutch name btw) and weights 66.3 kgs |
| 10:10.31 | eFfeM_work | <PROTECTED> |
| 10:21.36 | w|zzy | mmm |
| 10:21.48 | w|zzy | Just see they have a shower late after the kids are in bed. |
| 10:27.54 | eFfeM_work | :-) |
