18:06.37prpplaguebeewoolie-afk: hey hey
18:06.41prpplaguebeewoolie-afk: long time no see
18:06.51beewoolie-afkprpplague: yo
18:07.01prpplaguebeewoolie-afk: whats cookin?
18:07.07prpplaguebeewoolie-afk: still doing any work for sharp?
18:07.09beewoolie-afkBeen working on the slug boot process.
18:07.12beewoolie-afkYep.
18:08.33prpplaguebeewoolie-afk: has anyone said why there are no lh79524/25 reference designs available?
18:08.45beewoolie-afkLPD has one.
18:09.12beewoolie-afkThere is no 525 design, but it is substantially similar.
18:09.29prpplaguebeewoolie-afk: i meant, why sharp doesn't post a reference design
18:09.35beewoolie-afkDon't know.
18:09.40beewoolie-afkI can ask.
18:10.11prpplagueyea if you get a chance, that fact is really killing anyones idea of using the lh79524
18:11.07prpplaguebeewoolie-afk: suppose to have some time next week to psuh some patches to you for apex
18:13.46beewoolie-afkSure.
18:13.59prpplaguebeewoolie-afk: http://www.amltd.com/m5900.asp
18:13.59beewoolie-afkI've been working on getting git repos on line.  I've put up the BSP already.
18:14.08prpplaguebeewoolie-afk: first of the devices booting with apex
18:14.31prpplaguebut anything is better than nothing
18:14.33beewoolie-afkToo bad.  I like it a lot.
18:14.43beewoolie-afkIt's really easy for sharing development.
18:14.58beewoolie-afkIs the AML part the one you've been designing/building?
18:16.07prpplaguebeewoolie-afk: one of 6
18:16.16prpplaguebeewoolie-afk: next release will be in about 45 days
18:16.22beewoolie-afkNice.
18:16.25prpplaguebeewoolie-afk: and then one about every 60 days
18:16.35beewoolie-afkWow.  That's a release schedule.
18:17.33prpplaguebeewoolie-afk: well 90% of all the work for the new devices is complete, its just the finalizing of most of it prior to the release
18:18.02beewoolie-afkDoes it run GNU/Linux?
18:18.25prpplagueyea
18:18.34beewoolie-afkActually, I have another interesting question.
18:18.44beewoolie-afkHow did you handle firmware upgrade
18:18.45beewoolie-afk?
18:19.09beewoolie-afkI'm working on a product where this has come up.  I've found a reasonable solution, but I curious how you've tackled it.
18:19.09prpplaguebeewoolie-afk: we have dual kernel/rootfs
18:19.27beewoolie-afkAre they identical?
18:19.31prpplaguebeewoolie-afk: the backup kernel/rootfs is very small and is really there to do firmware upgrades
18:19.44beewoolie-afkCool.  That's my plan as well.
18:19.47prpplaguebeewoolie-afk: basically the same kernel
18:20.00prpplaguebeewoolie-afk: we have several different hooks for the actual method
18:20.04beewoolie-afkIt could be older if the firmware were upgraded to add new drivers, for example.
18:20.15prpplaguebeewoolie-afk: one method is holding down three buttons on the keypad during power on
18:20.29prpplaguebeewoolie-afk: apex reads that, and boots the backup kernel/rootfs
18:20.35beewoolie-afksure.  The issue was that I'd like to use APEX for upgrades, but it doesn't support USB device mode.
18:20.43beewoolie-afkYep.
18:20.44beewoolie-afkI remember.
18:20.52beewoolie-afkDid you just hack APEX for that?
18:21.35prpplaguebeewoolie-afk: yea, i added a couple of new commands
18:21.52prpplaguebeewoolie-afk: cmd-chkopts and cmd-chkkbd
18:21.55beewoolie-afkCool.  Looks like it will need to be a standard feature.
18:22.01beewoolie-afkMhmm.
18:22.15prpplaguebeewoolie-afk: chkkbd looks for specific key sequences
18:22.20beewoolie-afkGotta leave for a bit.  Breakfast time.
18:22.28prpplaguebeewoolie-afk: and chkopts checks the boot options
18:22.34prpplaguebeewoolie-afk: np later
