01:53.17cpenguin_homethere are drilled holes on the inner case that the case screws go through
01:53.32cpenguin_homebut they're not equally spaced on the case, so there is a right way and wrong way to screw on the case

02:14.54fishheadnothing wrong with arm or mips
02:14.57fishheadmips is funny
02:15.02fishheadwhen sgi started moving away from them
02:15.06fishheadeveryone said mips was dead
02:15.09fishheadand partially true
02:15.16fishheadtheir desktop peform wasn't that good
02:15.25fishheadthey switched to embedded market and kicking ass
02:15.26fishhead:)
02:15.28sorphincept SGI still uses mips :P
02:15.36fishheadsorphin yeah but not as much
02:16.09sorphinfishhead: btw.. don't get smart w/ the regulars :P
02:16.21fishheadoh I am just kidding around sorphin

15:32.22CosmicPenguinBut then again, I trust thousands of people every day not to drive their cars into mine, so I guess a little trust is always needed

15:52.53sorphinso you still have time to poke at the webpal ;)
15:53.37CosmicPenguinnah
15:53.49CosmicPenguinbut without the RS232 dongle, I'm SOL
15:53.59CosmicPenguinI keep asking, but nobody knows whats going on with those bad boys
15:54.19sorphinblame russ
15:54.22sorphin;)
15:54.37CosmicPenguinBut the entire motherboard of the WebPal is enclosed in a metal case,
15:54.49CosmicPenguinSo its going to be a bit of mechanical engineering to get everything to work right
15:55.11CosmicPenguinI guess we could leave the top sheld off.  That shouldn't leak *too* much radation
15:56.20CosmicPenguinBetter than punching a hole through metal to get at the IDE pins and what not
15:56.54CosmicPenguinBut we definately need to have a CF <-> IDE adapter with a cable - the one prpplague wanted to use just wouldn't work without some major dremmel work

16:33.27CosmicPenguinprpplague: my webpal has done been delivered and disected
16:33.42TomWCosmicPenguin: got any photos?
16:33.52TomWCosmicPenguin: of the guts?
16:34.27sorphinTomW: he has no digital camera
16:34.30CosmicPenguinTomW: sadly no - I don't have a digital camera, and I'm going out of town tonight, otherwise I would've hit the one hour photo
16:34.44TomWWHAT!!! No digital Camera!
16:34.46TomW???
16:34.57sorphinCosmicPenguin: mine does good pics, even for a 1.3 meg
16:35.00TomWuh
16:35.18CosmicPenguinNothing beats a good ol' 35 mm for superior picture taking and color depth
16:35.29CosmicPenguinand if I ever want a washed out copy of my pictures, I've got a scanner
16:36.03CosmicPenguinBut hey, thats just me.
16:36.33CosmicPenguinAnyway, the WebPal comes encased in a plastic shell, and then in a metal shell that completely contains the motherboard
16:37.17CosmicPenguinOne side features the smartcard, IR sensor and 3 LEDs, while the back has all the gozouttas for the video
16:38.28CosmicPenguinThe ISA connects to the mother board through a seperate dongle with two ISA slots
16:39.15CosmicPenguinMy 3Com 509 inserted ok, but my model had a BNC adapter that didn't quite fit the smaller than standard hole in the back of the device
16:39.26CosmicPenguinBut after I removed the tab from the top, it worked out ok.
16:44.08CosmicPenguinI didn't get a chance to plug it in though
16:44.31prpplagueCosmicPenguin: look like any additional headers connected to the cpu?
16:45.50CosmicPenguinprpplague: other than IDE and floppy, none that were populated
16:46.36CosmicPenguinMy model had the 665 SuperIO
16:47.49*** join/#elinux Lethal (~lethal@pa-monroeville4a-33.pit.adelphia.net)
16:48.15CosmicPenguinAnyway, due to the constraints within the case, it might be nice to get CF <-> IDE dongles and RS232 dongles that have cables so we can run them outside of the metal case
16:48.23CosmicPenguinOtherwise, lots of mechanical engineering will be required
16:49.05prpplagueCosmicPenguin: send me an email with your address
16:51.38CosmicPenguinprpplague: incoming
16:55.20prpplagueCosmicPenguin: need a cf card?

20:29.01BZFlagwhat expires (autoclean) modules?
20:30.19anderseeBZFlag: nothing.  On some systems a cron job does.  But generally speaking, nothing.
20:31.08BZFlagI thought the kernel had an autoclean timeout someplace?
20:31.41anderseeBZFlag: nope
20:32.39anderseeBZFlag: /etc/cron.daily/modutils
20:32.49anderseeinsmod_ksymoops_clean
20:32.49anderseeinsmod_ksymoops_clean deletes saved ksyms and modules not accessed in 2 days.
20:33.30BZFlagsheesh. ;-)
20:37.47BZFlagandersee: rmmod -a when fat and vfat are install would not rmmod fat right?
20:38.16BZFlagrmmod needs the -r to do that?
20:38.28anderseeyup
20:41.41anderseehmm
20:41.55anderseeActually I think rmmod -a would be sufficient
20:42.37BZFlagif I modprobe vfat, then fat gets loaded. if I rmmod -a, vfat goes, but fat stays. next rmmod -a gets fat.
20:42.52BZFlagcould be worse on other modules.
20:43.19BZFlagI think I'll work up a rmmod patch that loops till it can't unload anything. k?
20:43.33BZFlagonly on -a -r though.
20:43.52BZFlagor should -a just do the "Right Thing" on bb ?
20:50.55Lethalrmmod -a will wipe out autoclean stuff, if theres dependancies just run it a few times ;P
20:57.12BZFlagLethal: agreed, but a -a would insure it was only run one more time than needed.
20:57.41BZFlagwell, tried. only run once. ;-)
20:58.44BZFlagopinions anyone on -a doing -a -r ?  (oh, /me meant -r would insure above)
20:59.14BZFlagI don't see the point in doing a -a without a -r myself.
21:12.30BZFlaghmm. it would probably mean moving my_query_module someplace where rmmod can see it too.
21:14.27BZFlagxmalloc() is stack space? module_names is never freed.
21:16.28MonMothaandersee: my uClibc "problems" are very minor, mostly missing functions that probably don't need to be implemented anyway (as I believe rint() may even be a glibcism)
21:17.48Lethalxmalloc is supposed to take a heap argument to determine where to do the allocation from
21:18.14LethalI don't think linux does it that way though
21:20.46LethalI guess it just uses the general kernel heap

21:22.42LethalI guess thats what you get when its not mandated by ansi or posix ;P
21:23.17Lethalaccording to glibc its a wrapper to malloc() but prints out an error message if ENOMEM.
21:25.43BZFlagso it gets freed on exit() yes? so if lsmod is used as a builtin, the shell will grow and grow?
21:26.47Lethalwhy would exit() free it?
21:26.47Lethalexit() will clean up fd's, but not allocations AFAIK.
21:26.47BZFlagexit() frees process malloced space, yes?

21:26.49BZFlaghmm. tha bot is dead?
21:26.49Lethalyou could always do an atexit() handler to free() up any xmalloc() remnants.
21:26.49Lethalas long as you don't care about strict posix ;P
21:31.19BZFlagthe point is that in bb I think there is an option to turn all bb commands into builtins and if that was the case, then the memory would not get freed.
21:31.20LethalI don't think exit() does. its certainly not required to.

21:47.25sorphinnoe more ARM
21:47.28sorphinno even
21:47.30Lethalwhich one?
21:47.33Lethalxscale is still ARM
21:47.36Lethalits ARM 5 derived
21:47.36sorphinheh
21:47.41Lethalstill has broken caches
21:47.55Lethaland a fucked performance counter + MMU to go along
21:47.56sorphinThe SL-5600 uses a 400MHz Intel XScale processor, while the previous model uses a 206 MHz StrongARM. It will have a total of 96MB of memory, made up of 32MB SDRAM and 64MB of protected Flash, which is secure memory for storing files and applications.
21:47.56sorphinIts screen is a reflective TFT LCD with a front light. This 320 by 240 pixel display is 3.5 inches when measured diagonally and supports 65,536 colors.
21:47.56sorphinLike its predecessor, the SL-5600 has a bottom piece that slides to expose a small keyboard. It also has a CompactFlash slot and a SD/MMC slot. It includes a 1700 mA Lithium-Ion rechargeable battery that is removable. It also has a speaker and microphone with a stereo headphone jack.
21:48.05Lethalgreat
21:48.07Lethalso which xscale? :P
21:48.13kergothLethal: thats the real question
21:48.21anderseeLethal: Well, not exit(), but the _exit(2) syscall causes the kernel to cleanup whatever mess the process leaves behind.  So by skipping the cleanup in busybox, we can save some bytes, and the kernel cleans up for us.
21:48.21kergothLethal: i dont have any info on what stepping made it into the units as of yet

22:07.37Lethalandersee, tlb flushing works out to a BUG() ;P
22:07.39sorphin~rlart
22:07.43MonMothaandersee: k
22:07.54sorphindamn
22:07.56sorphinmissed
22:08.06Lethalabout the only real performance hit left on it is periodic flushing to deal with aliasing issues
22:08.20Russ|werkprpplague: when does ups actually stop by to scan stuff?
22:08.31Lethaland its not stupid like XScale which likes to keep its cache enable stuff in the page tables ;P
22:08.33sorphinRuss|werk: eh?
22:08.50Lethalso we can sanely tear down the page tables and still read/write the CCR
22:08.51sorphinyou're STILL waiting for that nonexistant tracking info? ;)
22:09.04prpplagueRuss|werk: in about 30 minutes
22:09.13sorphinwow
22:09.16anderseeBZFlag: -       return addgroup(GROUP_FILE, group, gid, user);
22:09.16andersee+       return addgroup(group_file, group, gid, user);
22:09.18anderseethx
22:09.19Russ|werkI have a number now...Its just not in the ups database yet
22:09.21sorphinits actually gonna ship ;)
22:09.23anderseeMy bad
22:10.00Lethalthen after SMP works on SH-2, will just have to prod ST into releasing smp stuff ;P
22:10.37sorphinumm.. right
22:11.10Lethalfrequency scaling should be interesting too, especially if the slave runs at a different speed then the master.
22:11.43Lethalthen theres just the notifier block updates for loops_per_jiffy changes for additional overhead.
22:12.04Lethalwhich isn't too expensive
22:14.39BZFlagandersee: yep, figured it was an oversight.
22:14.48Lethalsorphin, thanks for your support ;P
22:15.10sorphinof course :P
22:15.16BZFlagLethal: that's AMP then no?
22:15.40LethalBZFlag, nah. frequency scaling is just something thats possible per-CPU. normally they run at the same speed.
22:15.59Lethalits not required to be though
22:16.05BZFlagandersee: opinion on rmmod -a acting like -r by default?
22:16.12Lethalnot that theres actually much point in slowing it down any
22:16.20Lethalthe SH7604 isn't that fast to begin with
22:16.20Russ|werkif there is not enough load for two cpu's, I can see scaling the other cpu down to conseve power
22:16.35BZFlagLethal: battery power? (me imagines that smp pda)
22:16.46LethalRuss|werk, the second one never needs to be spun up. if theres only work on one processor, the second one can be kicked offline and bootstrapped again later when needed.
22:17.11LethalBZFlag, then your better off turning the second processor off and kicking your first one into power-save ;P
22:17.15BZFlagdid you see the kernel patches to turn cpus on and off at runtime?
22:17.26LethalI saw the hotplug stuff
22:17.46Lethalturning the slave off and on isn't an issue
22:17.47BZFlagcool cool. that was the only thing I missed about sco.
22:17.52Lethalwith the master however, thats an issue :P
22:18.09Russ|werkmaybe if you have a pda that has a second processor thats *just* fast enough to play an mp3 with mad
22:18.10*** part/#elinux sorphin (sorphin@adsl-64-218-79-41.dsl.stlsmo.swbell.net)
22:18.34Lethalall you do for smp is just hand off an entry point to the slave cpu anyways, that can be cleared and it can be put into suspend or whatever
22:18.36anderseeBZFlag: It is a behavior defference from modutils.  But then again, I suppose that could be a argument that rmmod -a is broken...  Not strong feeling either way.  I certainly don't see how it could hurt anything if you change it...  And it may even help some apps.
22:18.41BZFlagor do ipsec or do voip coding etc.
22:19.08LethalI'll just have to hack SH-2 + SMP support into my cpufreq driver for SH
22:23.32BZFlaghmm. with applets always win I run ./busybox sh and then try ./busybox lsmod and I get the help text.
22:24.09BZFlaginfact ./busybox <anything> get's the help text.
22:24.25BZFlagdoes busybox think busybox is a builtin too?
22:26.12BZFlagI guess that follows. just unexpected.
22:30.33BZFlagandersee: taking time off next week == working on busybox? ;-)
22:34.39anderseeBZFlag: hehe
22:34.50anderseeBZFlag: I'm a loser, what can I say
22:37.49BZFlagwith CONFIG_FEATURE_SH_STANDALONE_SHELL is there an exec/fork/spawn for applets? ie: would they get cleaned by the kernel?
22:38.16BZFlagandersee: you planning on dropping by tonight?
22:39.04BZFlagkeri has a concert so I'll head off to that about 6ish
22:43.32anderseeBZFlag: What time will you be around?  I'd not be able to drop by till around 9ish
22:44.32anderseeBZFlag: My wife is going to stay the night at her sister's place.  I'll be coming home since I have some committments in the morning.  But I'll be heading back to pick her and the kids up tomorrow afternoon.
22:44.53anderseeBZFlag: So if 9 is too late, I can swing by tomorrow afternoon.
22:46.57BZFlagdon't know when I'll get home. asking keri for a best guess...
22:48.39BZFlagshe expects we'll be home by 9 or 9:30 at the latest. I'll be hacking ;-) drop by at 9:30?
22:51.36prpplaguekergoth: well, looks like we are going ahead with the printserver project
22:52.17prpplaguekergoth: i've gotten approval for uclinux port to net+50
22:53.56prpplaguekergoth: shall i setup cvs access for ya?
22:55.41kergothprpplague: certainly
22:56.46prpplaguekergoth: ok password is: ihavetheplague
22:56.55prpplaguekergoth: lol, jk
22:56.59kergothlol
22:57.25anderseeBZFlag: k, its a plan then
22:57.29kergothits so dead here today
22:59.46BZFlag~rinsult
22:59.48go stick ibot's head in a pig, bzflag.
23:00.07kergothhmm
23:00.24BZFlag~rinsult
23:00.39BZFlagthat was interesting.
23:00.57kergothindeed.
23:05.16CosmicPenguinLater folks - have fun with your webpals!
23:10.47prpplagueandersee: is there a "uclinux howto for morons"?
23:11.16Lethalthere's a howto?
23:15.37Lethalhum. anyone done discontig on uclinux before?
23:17.05Lethalpg_data_t looks relatively hostile to mmuless. especially w/ the pfn references.
23:17.28kergothLethal: what arch are you working with there, out of curiosity?
23:18.02Lethalkergoth, SH. an SH7604 (SH-2) in particular.
23:18.11kergothah
23:19.22LethalI guess I could manually fill in the boot node stuff and ignore the pfn stuff
23:25.33Lethalbah. looks like I'll have to rewrite setup_arch(). fun.
