| 19:43.46 | beewoolie_ | you knowin it. |
| 19:44.18 | beewoolie_ | [g2]: Have you received your fatslug? |
| 19:45.14 | prpplague | beewoolie: i have spi sorta working on apex, but i'm still struggleing on how to mate it with fat driver |
| 19:45.57 | [g2] | beewoolie, well that's a long story, but FatSlug 2 may be on the way soon if I don't receive it today |
| 19:45.59 | beewoolie | prpplague: If you can use the driver stand-alone, dump spi:0#256, then it should be easy. |
| 19:46.04 | prpplague | beewoolie: should i be doing one spi driver and one mmc driver? |
| 19:46.07 | beewoolie | [g2]: ouch |
| 19:46.42 | beewoolie | prpplague: I suppose that's up to you. In APEX, the only meaningful driver is a random access, character oriented IO driver. |
| 19:46.50 | beewoolie | If you can do that with spi, then so be it. |
| 19:47.35 | [g2] | beewoolie, not super painful |
| 19:47.37 | prpplague | beewoolie: well, i was thinking, ppl may want to have mmc implemented in other ways besides using the spi controler |
| 19:47.58 | [g2] | I think rwhitby paid ka6sox-away to wait until the Beta was ready :) |
| 19:48.13 | beewoolie | prpplague: I think that I only wrote eeprom drivers and didn't write an SPI driver...yeah. Look at drv-cpld-spi. |
| 19:48.34 | prpplague | beewoolie: make the mmc generic like the fat driver, and have the spi driver device specific |
| 19:48.42 | prpplague | beewoolie: yea i already looked at that |
| 19:48.59 | beewoolie | prpplague: It's a device-by-device issue. The important thing to keep in mind is that the interface is stream oriented and random access. |
| 19:49.13 | beewoolie | prpplague: Is mmc really a protocol in itself? |
| 19:49.36 | prpplague | beewoolie: has a whole set of commands and procedures, so yea, i would qualify that as a protocol |
| 19:49.51 | beewoolie | prpplague: I don't know much about mmc, so I'll defer to you. |
| 19:50.02 | prpplague | beewoolie: i mean you could implement mmc interface over address bus, or gpio |
| 19:50.07 | beewoolie | prpplague: I've written code and factored pieces out when it makes sense. |
| 19:50.13 | prpplague | beewoolie: or even through a cpld |
| 19:50.33 | beewoolie | prpplague: Right. But the lower-level interface needs to conform. |
| 19:50.48 | beewoolie | prpplague: code sharing isn't important unless it is substantial. |
| 19:51.00 | beewoolie | prpplague: It may make more sense to write a library for mmc. |
| 19:51.35 | beewoolie | prpplague: The bottom line is not to worry about it. Unless the code is large, duplication isn't reason enough to factor it out. |
| 19:51.51 | ka6sox-office | the more I look at MMC the more I like it. |
| 19:52.21 | prpplague | beewoolie: ok, just trying to make the code as flexible as possible |
| 19:52.31 | prpplague | ka6sox-office: yea mmc rocks |
| 19:52.48 | beewoolie | wish my board had an mmc clot. |
| 19:53.14 | prpplague | beewoolie: doesn't take but about 5 minutes to add one |
| 19:53.42 | prpplague | beewoolie: logic pd board? |
| 19:54.05 | beewoolie | prpplague: I'm pretty cautious. I recheck the connections and want to make it clean. |
| 19:54.28 | prpplague | beewoolie: ?? |
| 19:54.52 | beewoolie | I don't have an 80 pin ribbon cable, for example. |
| 19:54.56 | prpplague | ?? |
| 19:55.07 | prpplague | why would you need 80 pin ribbon? |
| 19:55.32 | ka6sox-office | mmc and 80 pin ribbon cables...mutually exclusive |
| 19:56.20 | beewoolie | The SDK board has an 80 pin header for expansion. |
| 19:57.42 | prpplague | beewoolie: all 6 pins that you need are grouped together |
| 19:58.01 | prpplague | beewoolie: just need a some break away headers |
| 19:58.05 | beewoolie | prpplague: I still need to plug into the board without bending the other pins. |
| 19:58.24 | prpplague | beewoolie: break away will work |
| 19:58.34 | beewoolie | prpplague: Do you have a pointer? |
| 19:58.49 | prpplague | beewoolie: on sec |
| 20:04.03 | prpplague | beewoolie: http://www.jameco.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?langId=-1&storeId=10001&catalogId=10001&productId=143953 |
| 20:04.16 | prpplague | beewoolie: they have little notches between the pins |
| 20:04.25 | prpplague | beewoolie: so you just cut the number you need |
| 20:05.07 | beewoolie | prpplague: I'll take a look. |
| 20:05.09 | beewoolie | thx |
| 20:05.48 | prpplague | np |
| 20:06.33 | prpplague | beewoolie: tool me about 30 minutes the first time to put a mmc socket together for the LPD79520 |
