| 17:42.13 | prpplague | vmaster: you alive? |
| 17:58.48 | vmaster | hey prpplague |
| 18:06.53 | prpplague | vmaster: hey, question |
| 18:07.23 | prpplague | vmaster: suppose you have an arm9 cpu dev board..... |
| 18:08.05 | prpplague | vmaster: your choices for a package would be a 40 , 48 , or 56 pin package, what would you choose? |
| 18:08.35 | vmaster | a ARM9 cpu in a 40-56 pin package? |
| 18:08.45 | prpplague | vmaster: yea |
| 18:09.23 | prpplague | vmaster: i.e. cpu+ram+flash in a 40-pin dip package |
| 18:10.00 | vmaster | ah, okay, you mean all the high-density parts on a small board that brings out the peripherals on a dip package? |
| 18:10.17 | prpplague | yea |
| 18:10.37 | vmaster | mhh, guess that really depends on what i'm missing with the 40 pin package |
| 18:11.09 | prpplague | about the only thing this doesn't have is support for tft lcd and i2s |
| 18:11.20 | prpplague | for a 40-pin package |
| 18:11.48 | prpplague | the 40-pin dip seems to really attractive to devrs |
| 18:11.54 | vmaster | the 40 pin package should be fine |
| 18:11.54 | vmaster | yeah |
| 18:12.13 | vmaster | unless you really want something multi-media |
| 18:12.14 | vmaster | where lcd and i2s are a must |
| 18:12.29 | prpplague | well it will support up to an 8-bit stn |
| 18:12.47 | prpplague | just don't have the control lines for tft |
| 18:13.26 | prpplague | thats mainly what i was thinking, if we went with a 48 pin dip, we could add some support for tft and i2s |
| 18:13.44 | vmaster | would it increase costs by much? |
| 18:13.55 | prpplague | no, not at all |
| 18:14.13 | prpplague | maybe a few cents |
| 18:15.36 | vmaster | so the drawback of the 48pin package is mostly size, right? |
| 18:15.46 | prpplague | yea |
| 18:16.04 | vmaster | is this really a problem for prototyping? guess that's where people would use dip modules? |
| 18:16.30 | prpplague | yea product is targeted at hobbists |
| 18:16.55 | vmaster | heh, ok, then i'd like to change my vote to "48" |
| 18:17.18 | prpplague | http://www.linuxdevices.com/news/NS3018896570.html |
| 18:17.24 | prpplague | something one lines of that |
| 18:18.21 | vmaster | nice |
| 18:18.47 | prpplague | ours is alot nicer, hehe |
| 18:19.00 | vmaster | hehehe ;) |
| 18:19.09 | vmaster | got some stuff from Olimex today |
| 18:19.15 | vmaster | including the ARM-USB-OCD |
| 18:19.23 | prpplague | vmaster: cool |
| 18:20.09 | vmaster | plus a EP9301 board with eth and usb-host and a SAM7-EX256 board with a 128x128 TFT lcd |
| 18:20.40 | vmaster | not sure what i'm going to use these for (other than testing my debugger with), but they're nice to play with |
| 18:22.41 | prpplague | vmaster: oh? i didn't know olimex was selling a tft lcd |
| 18:22.51 | vmaster | it's mounted on the board |
| 18:23.41 | vmaster | http://www.olimex.com/dev/sam7-ex256.html |
| 18:23.42 | prpplague | oh |
| 18:23.42 | prpplague | not sold seperately |
| 18:23.42 | prpplague | holy cow thats small |
| 18:23.50 | vmaster | guess it's taken from a mobile |
| 18:23.52 | prpplague | isn't that the same lcd that sparkfun sells? |
| 18:24.01 | prpplague | thats spi bases isn't it? |
| 18:24.48 | vmaster | yeah, it uses spi |
| 18:25.19 | prpplague | yea thats the same as the sfe lcd |
| 18:25.27 | prpplague | from a nokia cell phone iirc |
| 18:25.45 | prpplague | very robust board |
| 18:27.06 | prpplague | surprised they didn't use an enc28j60 on the board |
| 18:27.58 | prpplague | vmaster: the audio out doing pwm audio? |
| 18:28.14 | vmaster | yep, and it really sounds like that :) |
| 18:28.29 | prpplague | hehe |
| 18:29.23 | prpplague | hehe, funny, our board has pretty close to the same pins as the at91 on that board |
| 18:29.33 | prpplague | but we also have two usb interfaces |
| 18:32.17 | prpplague | wow that board is pretty close to what we had in mind for a carrier board |
| 18:35.51 | vmaster | hehehe |
| 18:37.22 | prpplague | hehe i wish i could get some more feedback from devrs but the boss wants to keep most the details quiet |
