| 01:35:47 | Morn | prpplague: I'm trying to hand patch a kernel to .20-pre9 |
| 01:35:51 | Morn | this is NOT fun |
| 01:36:21 | file | Morn: I wish you luck |
| 01:36:35 | Morn | it seems that pre9 has the fixes I need in it |
| 01:36:43 | prpplague | Morn: lol |
| 01:36:45 | Morn | but Mandrake uses a highly patched kernel to start with |
| 01:36:57 | Morn | so just patching it with patch isn't working |
| 01:37:15 | prpplague | Morn: ya thats why i always dl a fresh kernel even when i use rhat |
| 01:37:33 | prpplague | Morn: rhat alway patches the shit out of there kernel |
| 01:37:36 | file | prpplague: wb btw |
| 01:40:35 | file | bbl |
| 01:45:57 | Morn | prpplague: but I want other things that are in the patched Mandrake kernel |
| 01:46:14 | Morn | I guess it's a matter of priorities |
| 01:50:08 | prpplague | Morn: yep |
| 01:52:50 | MonMotha | pio mode, write only? |
| 01:52:56 | MonMotha | isn't write only memory an old joke? |
| 02:08:15 | Morn | the part that stinks is when you have to edit one of the main .h files and recompile from the start |
| 02:13:32 | scanline | is back (gone 09:35:30) |
| 02:42:37 | scanline | is away: Sleep, that's where I'm a scriptable object database with multidimensional dynamic inheritance! |
| 03:17:41 | sorphin | Morn: boo |
| 03:17:56 | Morn | hey |
| 03:18:02 | sorphin | sup? |
| 03:18:35 | Morn | trying to fix the CMD680 stuff in my kernel |
| 03:18:42 | Morn | so my ata/133 board will work right |
| 03:18:50 | sorphin | ;) |
| 03:18:55 | sorphin | fun fun |
| 03:19:14 | Morn | you must have a different idea of fun |
| 03:20:03 | sorphin | </sarcasm> :P |
| 03:35:25 | MonMotha | hum, are three paralell ports enough for tinkering with? :) |
| 03:36:44 | Morn | brb, time to try a new kernel |
| 03:46:57 | sorphin | re jules |
| 04:06:26 | Morn | I think I got something here |
| 04:06:33 | Morn | the odd thing it still says no dma |
| 04:06:50 | Morn | but I doubt that hdparm -t /dev/hda would be 45.7MB/s without dma |
| 04:07:01 | sorphin | nod |
| 04:07:10 | sorphin | does proc show it on? |
| 04:07:59 | Morn | yes |
| 04:08:58 | sorphin | well, prolly is then |
| 04:09:07 | sorphin | if you do an hdparm -i /dev/hda |
| 04:09:12 | sorphin | what's the * by in the dma line? |
| 04:09:41 | Morn | DMA modes: mdma0 mdma1 mdma2 |
| 04:09:41 | Morn | UDMA modes: udma0 udma1 udma2 |
| 04:10:37 | Morn | DMA modes: sdma0 sdma1 sdma2 mdma0 mdma1 mdma2 |
| 04:10:37 | Morn | UDMA modes: udma0 udma1 udma2 |
| 04:10:41 | Morn | the second is the dvd writer |
| 04:10:45 | Morn | I think I have a go here |
| 04:10:53 | sorphin | hmm |
| 04:11:02 | sorphin | PIO modes: pio0 pio1 pio2 pio3 pio4 |
| 04:11:02 | sorphin | DMA modes: mdma0 mdma1 mdma2 udma0 udma1 udma2 udma3 udma4 *udma5 |
| 04:11:27 | sorphin | udma5 is udma100 |
| 04:11:40 | Morn | what would udma133 be? |
| 04:12:53 | sorphin | mode 6 |
| 04:12:57 | sorphin | udma6 |
| 04:13:07 | Morn | hdparm with the -X can set those modes |
| 04:13:14 | Morn | but I'll wait a little to play with that |
| 04:13:17 | sorphin | nod |
| 04:13:25 | sorphin | the kernel auto set it for me |
| 04:13:37 | sorphin | once i'd set the drive to allow max dma |
| 04:15:09 | Morn | how did you do that? |
| 04:17:20 | MonMotha | use hdparm -X carefully |
| 04:17:44 | sorphin | no |
| 04:18:03 | sorphin | i used a util for the drive(s) to physically limit what dma level it can use |
| 04:18:29 | MonMotha | no, that was a warning :) |
| 04:18:31 | sorphin | if you set it to 66, the drive won't do anything higher than 66 |
| 04:18:43 | sorphin | MonMotha: bah, i've used -X to force PIO4 when i've had to |
| 04:18:55 | MonMotha | sorphin: oh yes, just use it carefully |
| 04:19:13 | sorphin | MonMotha: don't you have some parallel ports to h4x0r? ;) |
| 04:19:18 | MonMotha | I bumped a drive that was supposed to be able to run at 66 up from 33 and it seemed to work, but when I came back the next day my filesystem was trashed |
| 04:19:38 | MonMotha | sorphin: heh, yep...how else am I going to implement a flash burner entirely in software? :) |
| 04:20:18 | sorphin | already have one :P |
| 04:21:08 | MonMotha | see I don't and I'm cheap :) |
| 04:21:28 | sorphin | hey i just wrote the SW, the chips know what to do :P |
| 04:21:46 | MonMotha | how did you interface the PC to them? |
| 04:23:07 | sorphin | they're the bios of whatever board i'm using :P |
| 04:23:17 | MonMotha | well duh |
| 04:23:18 | sorphin | andersee: well well well, look what the daemon dragged in |
| 04:23:42 | MonMotha | what you do if you want to use a chip other than the one containing your bios? |
| 04:25:24 | sorphin | um, change the chip? :P |
| 04:26:05 | MonMotha | hum...I've heard mixed stories about that |
| 04:26:30 | sorphin | well, i've hot flashed on a peecee before to recover my WSP |
| 04:26:39 | sorphin | but the normal flashing i do is on my tivos :P |
| 04:28:41 | andersee | sorphin: evening |
| 04:41:40 | sorphin | andersee: how was/is it? |
| 05:07:57 | andersee | sorphin: had fun |
| 05:08:27 | andersee | sorphin: the kids saw white tigers and elephants, rode on rides and had fun jumping on the beds in the hotel. :) |
| 05:19:13 | Russ | hey andersee |
| 05:22:10 | andersee | hey Russ |
| 05:22:33 | andersee | Home now from my short little vacation |
| 05:23:36 | andersee | Russ: I should be able to find the time monday to get your patches merged into busybox. Sorry its taken a while |
| 05:24:53 | LIM | should finish his mouse driver... |
| 05:25:29 | Russ | thats alright |
| 05:25:44 | Russ | I'm getting 0wned by basilisk2 right now |
| 05:25:50 | Russ | it doesn't want to do jack for me |
| 05:30:46 | andersee | Russ: basilisk2? |
| 05:30:54 | andersee | Russ: Is that a game? |
| 05:31:01 | Russ | m68k emulator |
| 05:31:22 | andersee | Ahh |
| 05:31:42 | andersee | To play your old appleII games? ;-) |
| 05:32:05 | Russ | no |
| 05:32:12 | Russ | for system 7.5.1 and 8.2 |
| 05:32:17 | Russ | appleII was a 6502 |
| 05:32:21 | Russ | er, 8.1 |
| 05:32:27 | Russ | that way, I can play bolo |
| 05:33:26 | andersee | I know. Was joking. A while back a guy game me an account on his old-world mac and I used it to get uClibc running on m68k. |
| 05:33:45 | andersee | kindof fun little systems |
| 05:33:54 | andersee | Was awfully slow though |
| 05:34:08 | Russ | looks up the mac error messages |
| 05:34:29 | Russ | andersee: cvs basilisk suppost jit emulation, so it might be faster (on a fast pc) |
| 05:35:46 | Russ | http://microwww.cc.flinders.edu.au/pcmacerr.htm |
| 05:35:54 | Russ | sometimes I get a ? on a floppy |
| 05:36:02 | Russ | I change stuff, I get an X |
| 05:36:06 | Russ | hmmm.. |
| 05:36:27 | Russ | and most of the time, the emulator seems jammed |
| 05:36:54 | andersee | Hmm |
| 05:36:59 | andersee | Sounds cool |
| 05:37:17 | andersee | I've always had a terrible time making emulators work properly. |
| 05:37:36 | andersee | Only ones I've had good luck with are xcopilot and vmware |
| 05:45:04 | BZFlag | anyone ever looked at wonka? |
| 05:45:41 | Russ | is that like "where's waldo" |
| 05:58:33 | Russ | ok, the compile was messed up, its working now- |
| 05:58:38 | Russ | system 7.5.3 is installing |
| 05:58:47 | Russ | I wonder where I can get a system 8.1 iso or install |
| 06:02:19 | Russ | hmm... |
| 06:02:22 | Russ | thats bad (TM) |
| 06:02:34 | Russ | basilisk's VSZ is 516M |
| 06:02:50 | Russ | its hemmoraging |
| 06:03:34 | Russ | lets see who oom kill chooses |
| 06:04:10 | Russ | Oct 6 00:12:04 russ kernel: Out of Memory: Killed process 10597 (BasiliskII). |
| 06:07:28 | sorphin | hehe |
| 06:07:35 | sorphin | Russ|werk: that's why you turn on overcommit :P |
| 06:07:46 | Russ | well... |
| 06:07:56 | Russ | I think it had used the memory, not just allocated it |
| 06:08:10 | sorphin | heh, i've yet to have any probs once i turned on overcommit :P |
| 06:08:23 | sorphin | atleast NOw it pulls from the cache like it SHOULD :P |
| 06:19:03 | Russ | hmm... |
| 06:19:22 | Russ | having trouble finding a memory leak detector that follows forks properly |
| 06:21:23 | Russ | or is it pthreads |
| 06:22:52 | Russ | 'valgrind's libpthread.so: UNIMPLEMENTED FUNCTION: pthread_mutexattr_setpshared' |
| 12:13:00 | sorphin | prpplague: bah.. not you again |
| 12:14:35 | prpplague | sorphin: yep, back like a bad case of athletes foot |
| 12:14:57 | sorphin | you have a mobile? |
| 12:15:15 | prpplague | a mobile what? |
| 12:15:22 | sorphin | phone :P |
| 12:15:47 | file | sorphin: they're called cellphones here |
| 12:15:53 | prpplague | no, i prefer not to cook my brain with microwaves(i save that for beer) |
| 12:16:16 | prpplague | sorphin: besides, if i had a cell phone, work would be calling me all the time |
| 12:16:20 | sorphin | file: shaddup bitch, i wasn't talking to you |
| 12:16:29 | sorphin | prpplague: ah well |
| 12:16:39 | prpplague | sorphin: why? |
| 12:16:55 | sorphin | has 2 ringtones i wanna get off this phone before i ditch it for a new one.. |
| 12:17:04 | prpplague | ohh |
| 12:17:40 | sorphin | logomanager will upload TO the phone, but can't pull tones FROM it, just logos |
| 12:19:10 | prpplague | does anyone else have problem managing their bookmarks besides me? |
| 12:19:35 | sorphin | hehe |
| 12:19:54 | sorphin | you mean like how i have 3 diff browsers here w/ 3 diff sets of bookmarks, + bookmarks and favs at work? |
| 12:51:38 | prpplague | any Xperts awake? |
| 12:51:46 | sorphin | on |
| 17:04:56 | scanline | is back (gone 14:22:24) |
| 19:08:57 | file | bye mallum |
| 19:39:31 | bhima | wonders. anybody have the pinout for the entire LCD connector...? |
| 19:39:37 | bhima | I can't seem to find it in the circuit diagrams. |
| 19:41:35 | prpplague | bhima: its there |
| 19:41:57 | prpplague | bhima: you just have look really hard |
| 19:42:04 | prpplague | bhima: i had the same problem |
| 19:42:37 | bhima | damn. I thought somebody might say that. any hints as to where to look hard, and what manner of hardness...? |
| 19:45:16 | MonMotha | I thought it was in one of the UCB1200 things, but maybe I was thinking touchscreen |
| 19:45:45 | bhima | touchscreen is there. some of the pins - R/2R DAC designs for contrast/brightness are tehre. |
| 19:45:52 | bhima | was happy to find that. |
| 19:46:12 | bhima | I'm designing a new daughterboard for it now. |
| 19:47:58 | prpplague | bhima: the lcd stuff comes from j600 and j601 |
| 19:48:12 | prpplague | bhima: you should be able to see the lcd stuff from there |
| 19:48:23 | prpplague | bhima: are you replacing the communications board? |
| 19:48:30 | bhima | yeah. |
| 19:49:01 | MonMotha | I guess that's oen way to get it to do what you want... :) |
| 19:49:10 | bhima | The J600/601 diagram tells me the pin names, but not a pinout. |
| 19:49:25 | bhima | monmotha: it doesn't fit in my dash. not unless it's at an angle :( |
| 19:49:40 | bhima | plus, I want servo and stepper controls. |
| 19:50:31 | prpplague | bhima: ya its there |
| 19:50:40 | prpplague | bhima: let me pull the schematics from the office |
| 19:51:45 | prpplague | bhima: ohh wait your right |
| 19:51:53 | prpplague | bhima: i had to find them on another site |
| 19:51:58 | prpplague | bhima: give me a sec |
| 19:54:18 | prpplague | bhima: http://www.iptel-now.de/HOWTO/LM8V31/lm8v31.html |
| 19:55:11 | bhima | bows down before prp. |
| 19:55:13 | bhima | thank you. |
| 19:56:18 | bhima | now to figure out the pin mapping :) |
| 20:00:51 | prpplague | np, glade i can help someone for once, lol |
| 20:15:15 | bhima | ooh. that's right. was just thinking for a moment how to test this with minimal tux-fry-risk. just realized that since I'm doing the stuff via RS-232, I can just hook another computer up with a little test rig and see if the motors spin right. |
| 20:15:22 | bhima | <-- not ECE. CS. |
