| 00:18:06 | sorphin | crih-keht |
| 00:24:47 | file | is happy |
| 05:41:25 | sorphin | clear |
| 05:41:27 | sorphin | grr |
| 06:02:09 | CaC491 | anyone around? |
| 06:05:31 | CaC491 | any idea how I can find the base address of the serial port? |
| 06:19:50 | CaC491 | ...I'm trying to register a new character device on the tux for some hardware connected to the serial port, any know much about this? |
| 10:30:52 | CaC491 | lo |
| 10:31:06 | LIM | hi |
| 10:31:38 | CaC491 | hey Lim! |
| 10:31:52 | CaC491 | any idea what the base address of the serial port on the tux is? |
| 10:32:15 | LIM | hmmm |
| 10:32:24 | CaC491 | ...or any idea how I can find out what it is? |
| 10:33:26 | LIM | I don't know if it even has one... |
| 10:34:02 | LIM | /proc/ioports reveals nothing... |
| 10:34:49 | CaC491 | hmm |
| 10:35:16 | CaC491 | any idea how I could write a byte to it in kernel mode? :) |
| 10:35:36 | CaC491 | I've got code that I've written that works on x86 but need to get it running on the tux |
| 10:37:11 | LIM | I dunno what you want it to do... |
| 10:39:02 | CaC491 | Basically something really simple, just sending bytes out the serial port, not flow control, not receive, etc |
| 10:39:25 | LIM | why not just use ttyS0 ? |
| 10:39:42 | LIM | sorry, ttySA |
| 10:39:46 | CaC491 | no good for kernel mode :( |
| 10:40:06 | LIM | you have the tuxscreen cvs? |
| 10:47:12 | LIM | well? |
| 10:52:26 | LIM | anyways, dmesg | grep ttySA |
| 10:52:36 | LIM | I get: |
| 10:52:37 | LIM | ttySA%d0 at MEM 0x80050000 (irq = 17) is a SA1100 |
| 10:52:37 | LIM | ttySA%d1 at MEM 0x80010000 (irq = 15) is a SA1100 |
| 11:19:48 | CaC491 | ahh, ok. |
| 11:21:15 | LIM | the kernel source has files I can point you to... |
| 11:24:56 | CaC491 | yep, that would be good! |
| 11:25:56 | LIM | you have the tuxscreen linux kernel source? |
| 11:26:19 | CaC491 | yep |
| 11:26:36 | LIM | drivers/serial/serial_uart00.c |
| 11:26:46 | LIM | include/asm-arm/arch-sa1100/SA-1100.h |
| 11:26:58 | LIM | that should be enough to get started. |
| 11:27:20 | CaC491 | k, thanks! |
| 11:28:18 | LIM | Ser1UTCR0 is the base address I think. |
| 11:28:27 | LIM | that's in the header there... |
| 11:29:07 | LIM | although perhaps you want Ser1UTDR |
| 11:29:10 | CaC491 | hey, being new to kernel programming, I'm getting a bit of an error when installing my modue: |
| 11:29:22 | LIM | I'm not a kernel programmer... |
| 11:29:25 | CaC491 | Warning: loading uber5.o will taint the kernel: no license |
| 11:29:28 | CaC491 | ahh ok :) |
| 11:29:31 | LIM | I just know how to hack/look |
| 11:29:38 | CaC491 | I have to do it for an assignment :( |
| 11:29:43 | LIM | ah |
| 11:31:11 | LIM | I'd suggest looking at other modules already in the kernel of course |
| 11:31:39 | LIM | MODULE_LICENSE("GPL"); |
| 11:31:51 | LIM | add that at the bottom of the module code |
| 11:32:00 | LIM | "GPL" could be anything I suppose |
| 11:32:59 | LIM | drivers/serial/serial_uart00.c has that. |
| 11:42:01 | file | LIM: know how to hack a driver from ISA to PCMCIA? |
| 11:44:37 | LIM | connect the pins to the socket? |
| 11:44:39 | LIM | I dunno |
| 11:45:31 | LIM | insert tab A into slot B, and recompile, yeah, that's the ticket |
| 11:46:43 | file | lol |
| 11:47:15 | LIM | why do you ask such an insane question of me! |
| 11:47:38 | LIM | rolls his chevy over the edge of the cliff with file at the wheel... |
| 11:48:05 | LIM | no one will ever know... |
| 11:48:15 | file | throws a USB cord up to drag himself up the cliff |
| 11:48:24 | LIM | cuts the cord |
| 11:48:32 | file | threw up 10 |
| 11:48:47 | file | is up before LIM can cut them all |
| 11:48:49 | LIM | shoots file as he hangs in midair. |
| 11:48:56 | file | dodges the bullets |
| 11:49:03 | file | shoots LIM with a tranquilizer dart |
| 11:49:09 | LIM | shoots where file isn't... |
| 11:49:29 | file | stays where he is... |
| 11:49:53 | LIM | catches the dart in his teeth and spits it back at file |
| 11:50:48 | CaC491 | gets frustrated because he can't find uaccess.h |
| 11:51:21 | file | where do you want it to be? |
| 11:51:51 | LIM | include/asm-arm/uaccess.h |
| 11:52:08 | LIM | find -name uaccess.h works wonders |
| 11:52:51 | LIM | common file, the dart is almost to you... |
| 11:53:10 | file | motions his hand and it disappears |
| 11:53:17 | LIM | hahaha |
| 11:53:28 | LIM | goot use of wizadry that. |
| 11:53:50 | CaC491 | yeah, I'm trying to find it for x86, doesn't appear to be on my system |
| 11:54:03 | LIM | include/asm-i386/uaccess.h |
| 11:54:23 | CaC491 | hehe, yeah, but it isn't there :( |
| 11:54:27 | file | will this transfer be done by the time I have to leave... |
| 11:54:30 | CaC491 | I'm missing something but don't know what... |
| 11:54:55 | LIM | gets out his flamethrower |
| 11:55:19 | file | pokes LIM |
| 11:55:49 | LIM | ahh the tank exploded |
| 11:55:59 | LIM | stops, drops, and rolls off the cliff.... |
| 11:57:06 | file | BAH |
| 11:57:15 | file | this transfer won't be done... I've only got 2 minutes before I have to go |
| 11:57:28 | LIM | bounces off a branch and comes back to kill file some more |
| 11:57:46 | file | snaps his fingers and he disappears |
| 11:58:15 | LIM | profers his palms and conjures a mini0file in his hand |
| 11:58:36 | LIM | s/0/-/ |
| 11:59:11 | file | well I have to go |
| 11:59:23 | LIM | this battle isn't over! |
| 11:59:30 | LIM | heheh |
| 12:00:10 | LIM | tosses the mini-file off the cliff |
| 12:02:14 | CaC491 | LIM: |
| 12:02:18 | CaC491 | module_register_chrdev |
| 12:02:24 | CaC491 | does that mean anything to you? :) |
| 12:02:36 | LIM | yes |
| 12:03:02 | LIM | it's a routine to register a char device handler |
| 12:03:17 | LIM | with a major and minor number no doubt |
| 12:03:24 | LIM | and perhaps a devfs entry name |
| 12:03:54 | CaC491 | yup, mean to be in include/linux/fs.h |
| 12:04:26 | LIM | ? |
| 12:04:58 | LIM | I see it there...so? |
| 12:08:18 | CaC491 | warning: implicit declaration of function `module_register_chrdev' |
| 12:08:42 | CaC491 | yet, the fs.h is included.. |
| 12:08:55 | LIM | compile are a module... |
| 12:09:00 | LIM | as |
| 12:09:40 | CaC491 | does this look ok: |
| 12:09:42 | CaC491 | arm-uclibc-gcc -D__KERNEL__ -DMODULE -O2 -Wall -c char_dev.c |
| 12:09:49 | LIM | #include <linux/config.h> |
| 12:09:49 | LIM | #include <linux/module.h> |
| 12:10:10 | LIM | well, it looks "ok" to me... |
| 12:10:25 | LIM | but I've not done it myself...by hand... |
| 12:10:34 | LIM | I use make |
| 12:10:47 | CaC491 | hmm, have a make file handy to build a module? |
| 12:10:57 | LIM | sorta |
| 12:11:39 | CaC491 | config.h and module.h were included |
| 12:12:23 | LIM | http://jcatki.no-ip.org/files/pccl-linux2.4.tar.gz |
| 12:12:43 | LIM | that has a standalone Makefile...just change the .c and .o filenames in it... |
| 12:13:18 | CaC491 | for tuxscreen specifically? |
| 12:13:51 | LIM | no |
| 12:14:42 | LIM | just set CC=arm-uclibc-gcc |
| 12:14:49 | LIM | near the top somewhere. |
| 12:15:05 | CaC491 | thnks |
| 12:15:31 | LIM | there's a bunch of cleanup to do in that file... |
| 12:15:41 | LIM | but it should work nonetheless. |
| 12:16:33 | LIM | -DPCCL_WITH_PROCFS is not needed by you... |
| 13:49:12 | prpplague | lo |
| 13:52:50 | andersee | prpplague: morning |

| 14:18:23 | andersee | prpplague: You hourly? Or on salary? |
| 14:18:37 | andersee | prpplague: I hope hourly given the 225 hours... |
| 14:21:49 | prpplague | andersee: hourly, i learned my lesson about being salary in the IT profession a long time ago |
| 14:38:53 | andersee | prh: hehe |
| 14:39:00 | andersee | err |
| 14:39:04 | andersee | prpplague: hehe |

| 15:15:31 | CosmicPenguin | morning |
| 15:15:34 | kergoth | yawns |
| 15:16:05 | sorphin | there's something obviously missing from this: "The Justice Department filed a lawsuit to block a merger between EchoStar Communications and Hughes Electronics that would have created the nation's largest pay-television service, stating that 'This merger would give EchoStar control of the skies for the provision of video programming by satellite, leaving customers to suffer from the resulting reduction of competition'. The FCC ha |
| 15:16:19 | sorphin | what about monopoly's like oh.. i dunno... Charter Communications? |
| 16:18:40 | sorphin | clear |
| 16:18:42 | sorphin | grr |
| 16:58:02 | sorphin | lo steveo |
| 16:58:36 | sjhill | hi sorphinee |

| 17:03:24 | sjhill | kergoth: i think you got the ibuprofen bottle mixed up with the crack cocaine again |
| 17:03:40 | sorphin | sjhill: no i won't i don't work for bcm, i don't have to take it up the arse if i don't want to ;p |
| 17:03:51 | sjhill | heh |
| 17:03:55 | sorphin | speaking of who we work for |
| 17:04:02 | sorphin | Women of Worldcom is out apparently |
| 17:04:11 | sjhill | ? |
| 17:04:18 | kergoth | seriously, today doesnt suck here |
| 17:04:20 | kergoth | weird |
| 17:04:27 | sorphin | you heard of Women of Enron right? the playboy thing |
| 17:04:28 | kergoth | sjhill: hm, it doesnt feel like crack |
| 17:04:38 | kergoth | it feels like sanity |
| 17:04:42 | kergoth | but that cant be right |
| 17:14:46 | sjhill | kergoth: so where do you work and what do you do? |
| 17:15:15 | kergoth | digi international, formerly known as Digiboard, doing unix tech support |
| 17:15:27 | sjhill | ah, you guys compete with Cyclades |
| 17:15:29 | kergoth | get to teach the cafeteria lady flow control |
| 17:15:30 | kergoth | fun stuff |
| 17:15:32 | kergoth | yeah, we do |
| 17:19:54 | CosmicPenguin | Geez |
| 19:38:46 | sorphin | mallum: not even gonna ask |
| 19:42:58 | CosmicPenguin | Thats a quicky |
| 20:02:26 | Russ|werk | maybe his girl was talking in another channel |
| 20:02:49 | sorphin | and she had to use his "login"? |
| 20:09:54 | Russ|werk | just his term |
| 20:25:54 | sorphin | Russ: same difference |
| 20:34:40 | mallum | hehe |
| 20:36:07 | sorphin | if you're on someone's terminal and under their user, you're using their login. :P |
| 20:43:32 | Russ|werk | by term, I meant that she sat down at his computer, and starting typing, rather than logged in as him |
| 20:43:43 | sorphin | heh |
| 20:43:52 | sorphin | she was already logged in as him ;p |
| 20:45:45 | Russ|werk | segfaults, or sigills? |
| 20:45:52 | Russ|werk | er |
| 20:45:55 | Russ|werk | hits xchat |
| 20:46:00 | sorphin | laughs |
| 20:46:02 | Russ|werk | segfaults, or sigills? |
| 20:46:11 | sorphin | try again? :P |
| 23:49:08 | file | hi LIM |
| 23:52:35 | LIM | yo file |
| 23:52:39 | LIM | still alive eh? |
| 23:54:28 | file | yup |
| 23:56:49 | file | LIM: What are you up to? |
