| 00:25:11 | jacques | baz |
| 00:26:27 | | jryy jung jnf gung sbe? |
| 00:26:27 | BZFlag | ibot: rot13 well what was that for? |
| 06:51:21 | Tangent | walks through the door with some TuxScreen phones |
| 06:51:44 | Tangent | BZFlag : They're here :) |
| 07:08:36 | Tangent | Must say that they're very cool :) |
| 07:23:35 | Tangent | So... Now I need to do something cool with it... |
| 07:23:50 | Tangent | The default inferno stuff is actually quite nice |
| 07:37:37 | ArcTangent | OOh... the topic has changed.. that must mean someone else is here :) |
| 07:38:55 | Tangent | BZFlag : You could have saved me a little money, if you'd have put a $ symbol on the shipping invoice |
| 07:39:08 | Tangent | BZFlag : They charged me VAT on 200GPB, not on $200 |
| 07:39:20 | Tangent | BZFlag : But never mind... |
| 07:41:51 | BZFlag | eek. it said USD no? |
| 07:42:24 | Tangent | BZFlag : Nah.. it says Quantity 2, Value 198 |
| 07:42:52 | Tangent | BZFlag : It's not a huge amount of difference... I probably spent more on fuel to collect them from the Depot |
| 07:43:06 | BZFlag | crap. sorry bout that, my wife filled it out, I've explained that issue to her before, and I guess I will again. sorry. |
| 07:43:26 | Tangent | BZFlag : No problem for me... I'm loaded... but worth remembering for others |
| 07:43:38 | BZFlag | glad it's not a factor of 10 or so though. |
| 07:44:09 | Tangent | BZFlag : The difference is something like two pints of beer :) |
| 07:44:44 | Tangent | BZFlag : So.. what can I do with it now? Has nelson got a working blob yet? |
| 07:44:49 | BZFlag | yep. and most us electronics 1 usd = 1 gpb, unfortunately. |
| 07:45:10 | Tangent | Nod.. I know.. it sucks |
| 07:45:18 | BZFlag | nelson has not started hacking yet. I've been working on blob and posted a lot of updates to cvs |
| 07:45:32 | BZFlag | still not booting the kernel though. |
| 07:45:41 | Tangent | Nod.. I was reading through the Wiki, trying to work out what I should do next |
| 07:46:07 | BZFlag | I thought there were still some mem timing issues, but I've tried the ones inferno uses and it still seems flakey. |
| 07:46:21 | BZFlag | are you going to add a jtag? |
| 07:46:55 | Tangent | BZFlag : Not until I _need_ to... I'l have to solder some things together (and possibly order a chip) to get that done |
| 07:47:36 | Tangent | BTW.. Are there some spare gpio lines on the tuxscreen somewhere? I want to add some extra hardware |
| 07:47:52 | BZFlag | links page has the gpio maps. |
| 07:48:06 | BZFlag | and no, I don't know what wheaties refers to. |
| 07:48:33 | BZFlag | there are inferno upgrade steps on the wiki, you could try those. ;-) |
| 07:48:40 | BZFlag | got a 12v power supply? |
| 07:48:55 | Tangent | BZFlag : Got every kind of power supply you could ask for |
| 07:49:15 | Tangent | BZFlag : I bought a 0-30V variable bench supply a couple of days ago (for other stuff) |
| 07:49:34 | BZFlag | cool. I'd say try that then. hook up 12v, unlock the flash, flash the new inferno, and play with that. |
| 07:50:21 | Tangent | BZFlag : And I can do all this with minicom? |
| 07:52:03 | Tangent | I've only just started reading the docs |
| 07:52:03 | BZFlag | well, I used the free DL inferno to do it. |
| 07:52:18 | BZFlag | 12v and a null modem cable. |
| 07:52:34 | Tangent | Where do I need to hook 2V up to? |
| 07:52:37 | Tangent | 12V |
| 07:52:57 | BZFlag | course at some point I should hook up a serial sniffer and build an app that does the same, then dl inferno would not be required. |
| 07:53:13 | BZFlag | see the UnlockFlash or similar wiki page. |
| 07:53:46 | BZFlag | well, FlashUnlock. |
| 07:54:01 | BZFlag | http://TuxScreen.net/wiki/view/Main/FlashUnlock |
| 07:55:24 | Tangent | Nod.. .found it already.. I'm gonna have to tidy my desk before I can attempt that |
| 07:56:41 | Tangent | My plan is to attach a PIC to some spare GPIO lines, and use it to control some external stuff (relays, temperature sensors, analoge inputs etc) |
| 07:56:57 | Tangent | As long as I can get two GPIO lines, then I'll be OK |
| 07:57:05 | BZFlag | cool. keep up posted on the wiki k? |
| 07:57:39 | Tangent | Yeah.. of course |
| 13:35:17 | nelson | Tangent: yep, I'm cheerfully wimping out. I want a tuxscreen that's either 1) Running Linux or 2) Running Inferno. Lacking JTAG hardware, I don't want to fiddle. |
| 13:40:56 | Tangent | nelson : Nod... I know what you mean... Inferno is quite nice anyway :)... I can make jtag hardware if I fry something, but I'd rather not have to do that if I can avoid it |
