| 15:41.05 | [g2] | ka6sox-office ping |
| 15:41.36 | [g2] | wookey_ around ? |
| 15:43.30 | wookey_ | [g2]: yes |
| 15:44.10 | [g2] | wookey_ it's been forever since we last chatted. What's up with ballon v3 ? |
| 15:44.28 | wookey_ | I got my hands on one at the w/e :-) |
| 15:44.43 | wookey_ | First batch is in use at Cambrdige Eng dept |
| 15:45.02 | wookey_ | respin being worked on in time for xmas |
| 15:45.43 | wookey_ | (to fix various probs in initial board) |
| 15:45.58 | wookey_ | FPGA and CPLD both seem to work and support for FPGA is now in bootloader |
| 15:46.14 | [g2] | sounds great |
| 15:46.23 | wookey_ | Right now I am trying to work out why bootldr modified for B3 seems to be a bit broken on B2 |
| 15:46.43 | [g2] | no fpga ? |
| 15:46.50 | wookey_ | can program files into yaffs filsystem, but direct programming of whole flash partition sseems to do nothing |
| 15:47.03 | wookey_ | FPGA code is compiled out for this variant |
| 15:47.11 | [g2] | I was just teasing :) |
| 15:47.24 | [g2] | how do you like yaffs ? |
| 15:47.27 | wookey_ | sorry - staring at code too long |
| 15:47.32 | [g2] | np :) |
| 15:47.43 | [g2] | I'm the one who should be sorry |
| 15:47.46 | wookey_ | It's very cool |
| 15:47.59 | [g2] | alot cooler than jffs2 ? |
| 15:48.03 | wookey_ | but we've had hassles with MTD integration which makes it a bit of a pain on linux |
| 15:48.09 | wookey_ | faster than jffs2 |
| 15:48.21 | [g2] | is jffs3 out yet ? |
| 15:48.26 | wookey_ | (but no compression built in to fs - big part of why it's faster) |
| 15:48.44 | wookey_ | I understand it's being used on OPLC project |
| 15:48.44 | [g2] | ahh.. that makes sense |
| 15:48.53 | wookey_ | so nice simple garbage collection, deterministic behaviour |
| 15:49.05 | wookey_ | but you need to compress the data yourself |
| 15:49.15 | [g2] | a fair trade-off |
| 15:49.33 | wookey_ | some korean guy is doing a load of comparative testing at the moment |
| 15:49.33 | [g2] | lord knows NAND is getting cheaper by the minute |
| 15:49.37 | wookey_ | I look forward to his results |
| 15:50.15 | wookey_ | yaffs got checkpointing in June (so boot scanning only happens if shutdown was not normal) |
| 15:50.27 | wookey_ | huge speed increase on big flash drives |
| 15:50.38 | wookey_ | I gather JFFS2 has also acquired similar facility |
| 15:51.17 | wookey_ | I am reasonably hopeful yit will get into mainline with next kernel iteration |
| 15:52.31 | wookey_ | [g2]: are lofts actually available to buy? didn't seem entirely clear from your website |
| 15:52.57 | [g2] | wookey_ yes they've been available for 8-9 months |
| 15:53.18 | [g2] | I've got to run right now, phone call but would love to talk later |

| 19:00.31 | prpplague | vmaster: tip for the day,, don't leave a defunt copy of openocd running for more than 24 hours, hehe |
| 19:02.20 | vmaster | prpplague: oh, what happened? |
| 19:03.11 | prpplague | vmaster: i powered off my device yesterday with an openocd running, check the box just a little while ago, the load level was almost 50 |
| 19:03.29 | prpplague | killed off openocd and it dropped to normal |
| 19:10.17 | vmaster | ah, hehehe |
| 21:14.17 | [g2] | vmaster which tool chain are you using for the SAM7 stuff ? |
| 21:15.38 | [g2] | I guess insight too |
| 21:16.53 | vmaster | i prefer codesourcerys toolchain, but the libraries from their latest release are built for armv5 |
| 21:17.03 | vmaster | codesourcery has the best gdb, imho |
| 21:19.56 | vmaster | i've used gnuarm, too, but they only provide 64-bit linux binaries these days |
| 21:32.36 | [g2] | I guess you don't build from source then |
| 21:32.50 | [g2] | and openocd interfaces to gdb right ? |
| 21:34.26 | *** join/#openjtag [g2] (n=g2@nslu2-linux/g2) |
| 21:36.57 | vmaster | yeah, i don't build from source - prebuilt binaries are fine for the small testcases that i usually compile |
| 21:38.34 | vmaster | the openocd interfaces to gdb, yes |
| 21:38.50 | vmaster | it implements a gdb remote protocol server |
