01:00.22DocScrutinizer05sleepless in $???

01:01.40dos1nah, actually going to sleep soon
01:02.17DocScrutinizer05+ 1 GB(!!!) low-power DDR SDRAM PoPmemory / discrete 512 MB NANDflash memory
01:02.19dos1just opened the window to refresh the air and woke up the laptop to check few things before going to bed ;)
01:02.40DocScrutinizer05there's hope
01:02.56dos1link doesn't work (AccessDenied - Request has expired), but - wow!
01:03.12DocScrutinizer05if only thhose TI suckers would disclose which PoP chip they used in their Zoom2
01:03.57DocScrutinizer05dman
01:04.03DocScrutinizer05(expired)
01:05.52DocScrutinizer05http://wstaw.org/m/2013/11/21/plasma-desktopjw3743.png
01:10.36DocScrutinizer05maybe the answer hides in there somewhere: https://gforge.ti.com/gf/project/omapzoom/frs/?action=index
01:11.22DocScrutinizer05also a nice read: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OMAP
01:16.21dos1http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/OMAP35x_To_AM37x_Software_Migration_Guide
01:17.11dos1maybe interesting for kernel development?
01:17.24DocScrutinizer05definitely
01:17.37DocScrutinizer05#maemo-ssu
01:18.19mashina_what if someone comes up with a kernel 3.x out of left field? do we build temples to our new god?
01:20.39dos1I can't find any generic information about AM/DM37x family like that OMAP wiki article
01:21.21dos1it appears only in references
01:21.51dos1how does DM relate to OMAP?
01:23.43dos1N900 uses OMAP3430 - and I found that 34xx and 36xx are meant for wireless usage, while 35xx is available in low volumes and is meant for devices like beagleboard
01:24.01dos1and that migration guide is from 35xx to am/dm37xx
01:24.28dos1I wonder how all of them relate to each other
01:27.55dos1OMAP3630 on that Zoom is same as in N9/N950
01:29.22DocScrutinizer05yep
01:30.25DocScrutinizer05dos1: basically DM == OMAP for mere mortals
01:31.17dos1so why it's named differently?
01:31.23DocScrutinizer05only TI knows
01:31.38dos1that 34xx/36xx vs. 35xx/37xx differentation is bugging me
01:31.51DocScrutinizer05yeah, it's idiotic
01:32.14dos1"Please keep in mind that the Zoom platforms use the OMAP34xx and not the OMAP35xx as found on various other boards like the Beagle Board or Mistral EVM. The devices themselves are similar (i.e. CortexA8, C64x+ DSP, and SGX Graphics) however the OMAP34xx is targeted at wireless customers, so you may find limited support for the OMAP34xx unless you are working on a wireless phone design. "
01:32.44DocScrutinizer05*cough*
01:33.38DocScrutinizer05particularly funny when you learn that TI failed / forgot to bother about RoHS for their Zoom2 modem module
01:33.50DocScrutinizer05so Zomm2 is in fact NO wireless device
01:34.49DocScrutinizer05failwale
01:34.49dos1well, the first concern that came into my uneducated mind was power consumption
01:35.00DocScrutinizer05nope
01:35.18DocScrutinizer05it's merely about supply chain channels and support
01:35.32dos1ok then :)
01:35.38DocScrutinizer05no mere mortal can bux the 4/6
01:35.43DocScrutinizer05buy
01:36.10dos1no other notable differences?
01:36.14DocScrutinizer05and you can't find datasheets for that stuff either
01:36.18DocScrutinizer05nope
01:36.27dos1funny
01:36.32DocScrutinizer05well, they are quite differently binned at fab
01:36.36DocScrutinizer05to order
01:37.27DocScrutinizer05that's why Nokia is right per definitionem when they say stuff like "do not lock to 600MHz! Do not OC! Do not use SR!"
01:38.01DocScrutinizer05after all they know what they ordered and got delivered, from TI
01:38.37dos1hmm
01:38.38DocScrutinizer05~omap-oc
01:38.38infobotsomebody said omap-oc was http://mg.pov.lt/maemo-irclog/%23maemo.2010-08-01.log.html#t2010-08-01T22:16:05  read that!, or and this http://mg.pov.lt/maemo-irclog/%23maemo.2011-03-11.log.html#t2011-03-11T03:04:11
01:38.50DocScrutinizer05applies only to the 5/7
01:38.57DocScrutinizer05not to the 4/6
01:39.03dos1so all seen 1GB RAM occurences were OMAP36xx?
01:39.10DocScrutinizer054/6 may be same, worse, or even better
01:39.23DocScrutinizer05that's unrelated, but yes
01:40.11DocScrutinizer05it's just "no mere mortal can buy those chips" again
01:40.29DocScrutinizer05or maybe not
01:40.38DocScrutinizer05for N9 definitely the case
01:40.55dos1unrelated, as in there's no problem with using dm37xx instead if some obtainable pop is identified?
01:41.19DocScrutinizer05there IS NO such chip like 110J1H0K
01:41.35DocScrutinizer05exactly
01:41.56DocScrutinizer05any PoP working on OMAP3630 shall also work on DM3730
01:42.49dos1ok, it's all clear to me now :)
01:42.53DocScrutinizer05:-D
01:43.13DocScrutinizer05only thing still unclear: which damn PoP are they using in Zoom2?
01:43.55DocScrutinizer05I'm not inclined to *buy* one just to find out what's written on the PoP chip
01:44.30DocScrutinizer05I asked oin #linux-omap
01:44.34DocScrutinizer05in*
01:45.08DocScrutinizer05maybe somebody there has a zoom2 with 3630 and 1GB of RAM, and is willing to read that printing and forward it to me

21:44.05DocScrutinizer05but 162 preorders are pretty nice
