00:30.47anderseefile: :-)
00:31.12anderseefile: Everyone else will get bored of 'em soon enough.  :-)
00:31.17filehehe
00:33.34MonMothaI don't have a webpal
00:34.13fileMonMotha: it was a figure of speech
00:34.40fileMonMotha: all the big people in here have one
00:37.46MonMothaah
00:37.54MonMothathose aren't easy to detect when all you have is text
00:38.31fileyet again, figure of speech
00:38.47filebig people = people who use ARM devices and other junk like the Webpal alot
00:38.58fileyeekz... I feel like I'm talking to my coworker
01:25.29sorphinheh
01:31.17sorphinwe have webpals *grin*
01:31.40sorphinshipped in a big UPS worldwide box w/ too many peanuts ;p
01:35.47sorphinbah
01:35.50sorphinthing uses a damn brick

01:52.43cpenguin_homeHeh - I joined #tuxscreen again by accident
01:53.13sorphinshame on you *grin*
01:54.14sorphincpenguin_home: these things musta been sitting in a warehouse for ages, i had leaky batts too.. looks like if you could find the chips, you could up the size of the flash on the simm that's in it possibly
01:54.55MonMothaI really wish SF would stop breaking things
01:55.17cpenguin_homesorphin: uhhh.... I have no idea what you are talking about
01:55.23sorphinthe flash simm
01:55.27sorphinin the webpal
01:55.40cpenguin_homeRight....  somewhere in the area of a meg, right?
01:55.41sorphinit has a spot for another chip (didn't look on the other side, maybe 2)
01:55.59sorphinright
01:56.16cpenguin_homeahh....  I'm shooting for IDE anyway
01:56.26cpenguin_homeI kind of liked Russ|werk's ideas about the flash too
01:56.34cpenguin_homesorphin: What about that metal case?  Annoying, huh?
01:56.56cpenguin_homesorphin: plugged it in yet?
01:57.26sorphinno, these were sitting outside all day in the box
01:57.31sorphinletting them "adjust to room temp"
01:57.39sorphinelse they might condensate :P
01:58.07sorphinstill wonder if a cisco flash simm will work
01:58.11sorphinbe nice if it did
01:58.15sorphini have a few around
02:00.26file[laptop]sorphin: they were there when you got home?
02:02.13cpenguin_homemmm... leaky batteries
02:03.12file[laptop]axe deodorant body spray! argh
02:04.27sorphinyup
02:04.56sorphinok, this thing has J10 and J11 spots 2 more serial ports or what's the 2nd one if one is serial ?
02:09.26cpenguin_homelooks good
02:10.16sorphin?
02:10.17file[laptop]sorphin: both serial
02:11.23cpenguin_homesorphin: the webpal output
02:11.29cpenguin_homevery clean
02:12.04sorphinah
02:12.38cpenguin_homeThe keyboard is a motherlovin' segin
02:12.43cpenguin_homeThats a horrible protocol
02:12.46sorphini should see if i can track down 2 of these lil flash chips (if i can't use my other simms)
02:13.00sorphinit looks just like the tux one, cept gray
02:14.24cpenguin_homeDoes the website mention that the remote works, or not?
02:14.30cpenguin_homeBecause, I have all this sejin code
02:14.39sorphini dunno
02:14.43cpenguin_homeIt freaks out with no modem
02:14.45file[laptop]cpenguin_home: your making me want it more
02:14.51sorphinof course

02:17.22file[laptop]cpenguin_home: good luck
02:17.34sorphinw/o the serial?
02:17.46cpenguin_homefile[laptop]: unfortunately, that involves a serial card, which I persist in failing to have
02:18.38file[laptop]cpenguin_home: ...o k
02:22.34sorphinhmm
02:22.46sorphincan't find anything on that atmel chip
02:28.41cpenguin_homeatmel?  Thats probably the analog processor

02:29.24sorphinok, i found it
02:29.31sorphini had to clean the lil red dot off covering the #'s

02:43.26sorphinyou had me slightly confused when you said: <cpenguin_home> alright - its time to put linux on this bad boy

05:58.16anderseeyeah I know
05:58.37cpenguin_homeandersee: thats about all I can handle
05:58.46anderseeIt was feeding +12 to the fan and driving me crazy with noise
05:59.02anderseeNow it is silent as the grave (the way a good computer should be)
06:01.36sorphinbut also lower cfm
06:02.26sorphinya know i just noticed
06:02.37sorphinthese guys must be itchin for pad corrosion
06:04.35sorphinthe flash simm is gold pinned, the ram simm is tin, the pins in both sockets are the same.. and if my memory serves me right, and it usually does, you don't wanna keep a gold pinned simm sitting in a socket that doesn't have gold pins also (if you get my drift here), just like you don't mix gold pinned sockets and tin simms.. i forget *exactly* what the chemical reaction is tho
06:06.03cpenguin_homesorphin: for 12.95, do you really care?
06:08.37MonMothasorphin: I've got comps with gold/tin mixed and have had the SIMMs installed for at least 4 years...no problems with reliability and no noticable "corrosion", though I don't doubt that there's a possibility

16:28.53sorphincool
16:28.56sorphinso the site is back up?
16:30.08TomWYeah, sent him an email yesterday afternoon and several hours later it came back online.  I am not sure where he has it, he said his local power company electric came back after being off all weekend.
16:30.15TomWNorth Carolina?
16:30.35sorphinno
16:30.39sorphinmountainview, ca
16:30.53TomWPacific Northwest?  Whatever, I have everything now, except for time.  :(  I have those linux boxen to get ready today.
16:31.11sorphinthey were having power probs recently in mtn view/sunnyvale this past weekend
16:31.30TomWBUT, once they show up, I am eager to pry one of them apart!
16:31.41sorphinheh
16:31.54sorphinTomW: there's a spare spot on the flash simm for another AMD chip
16:32.06TomWHmmm.
16:32.21sorphinso if you could find one of those chips, should just be able to toss it on
16:32.40sorphinheh
16:32.43sorphinhis site may be up
16:32.49sorphinbut his dns resolving isn't ;p
16:32.49TomWI wonder what browser they have, like, I wonder if I can give one of these thingys to my Mom to give her Internet Access?
16:32.58sorphini dunno, ask jordan
16:33.04sorphinhe actually fired his up last night
16:33.12sorphinapparently the rca is really clear
16:33.26TomWsorphin: If you wait a bit, I will take the site contents and put it on openhardware.net.

16:40.44TomWnothing like brutalizy yourself, is there?
16:40.44sorphinand you cause a netsplit
16:40.53sorphinTomW: actually it worked quite well
16:41.02TomWCosmicPenguin: howdy
16:41.07sorphinTomW: back in the day, when i ran the ISP
16:41.14CosmicPenguinHow is the ol' webpal community holding out today?
16:41.18sorphinTomW: my personal webserver at home, was a NeXT Station
16:41.24sorphinworked great
16:41.47TomWCosmicPenguin: mine are on the truck "out for delivery" and the webpal.bigbrd.com site is up, so I sucked it dry.
16:41.53sorphinCosmicPenguin: tom's are appearing today, tho he has no time for em yet
16:41.56sorphinTomW: ah HA
16:42.02sorphinis it webpal or webpals? :P
16:42.07sorphinyou said webpals befpore
16:42.09sorphinbefore
16:42.22TomWwebpal.bigbrd.com
16:42.28sorphinok
16:42.31sorphinnow it works :P
16:43.03TomWsorphin: I am going to drive myself nuts looking out the door every 15 minutes for a big box on the front step.  :/
16:43.20sorphinmine arrived in a big UPS worldwide box
16:43.30sorphinTomW: and guess what ;)
16:43.43TomWThese guys from UPS could teach the Military a few things about Stealth Delivery...
16:43.50sorphinyou get to be the next member of the corroded battery club :P
16:43.58TomWlol
16:44.08TomWthe "corroded battery club"?
16:44.09sorphinthe batteries they send w/ the remote
16:44.17TomWAh, no!
16:44.25sorphinseem to have been sitting AROUND since 1997 :P
16:44.29sorphinthey leaked
16:44.35TomWI'll bet.
16:44.59sorphinnever seen a battery leak that wasn't IN something, till i bought one of my tivos
16:45.04sorphinand the batts for the remote were like that
16:45.07TomWWell, I have 0.005" brass shim stock here if I have to rebuild the battery contacts.
16:45.40sorphinnono
16:46.02sorphinthe batts are just in their cardboard/plastic thing like you normally get batts in w/ tons of korean writing
16:46.06TomWDid it screw the electronics in the remote?
16:46.35*** join/#elinux ade|out (~adrian@unimatrix.ex.ac.uk)
16:46.49TomWOr, did they package the batts seperately?

16:58.26sorphinTomW: wonder what's w/ the ir keyboard/serial interaction
17:00.12sorphinhmmmmmmmmmmmmm
17:00.14sorphinrscott's loader (including bootstrapping so you don't need a flash programmer)
17:00.26sorphini wonder
17:01.28sorphincoo
17:01.50sorphinhttp://mtrob.fdns.net/~webpal/ has the flash pinouts, etc.. (of the simm)..
17:04.28sorphincoo
17:04.40sorphinyou don't need the hw flasher to flash the flash initially
17:19.23TomWyeah, 1Meg of flash ain't very much, is it?
17:20.10sorphinTomW: not that 2 is much better, but still
17:20.16TomWBut, I have booted using less.  The EZ328LCD controller boots linux with only 32K of EPROM.
17:20.52sorphinif either we could solder another amd chip onto the flash simm *or* one of my cisco flash simms works, then that's even better :) tho we know jordan will be using CF :P
17:21.21TomWI wonder how big the emlilo is, if it will boot from an IDE drive and what filesystem(s), if any, it supports.
17:21.42sorphindunno
17:22.16sorphinif only 10 of those pins on j10/11 are the serial crap, what's the other 10?
17:22.20TomWWith only 1 meg of flash, that isn't big enough for anything seriously General Purpose that I would like to tinker with on the WebPal.
17:22.43sorphinnod
17:23.04TomWI think they said that there were two 10 pin headers, J10 went to the IR stuff, and J11 was a spare serial port.
17:23.26TomWwon't know until I pry one apart.
17:24.16sorphinbut the port he's using is interacting w/ the ir keyboard for some reason
17:24.34sorphinand one hits the atmel for the smartcard
17:24.37TomWscrew this, I have to go to the bank to xfer some funds.  Hopefully they will be here when I get back.

17:43.04CosmicPenguinI love the 16550 kernel code - you can send kernel messages all day, but unless you get an interrupt, userland code will sit in a buffer forever
17:43.30kergothCosmicPenguin: so make it poll if you want it to behave otherwise
17:43.30sorphinCosmicPenguin: what i'm trying to figure out
17:43.30kergothheh
17:43.36sorphinis what i ran into before
17:43.42sorphinunless i run minicom 1st
17:43.54sorphininferno hangs accessing my serial port
17:44.01CosmicPenguinkergoth: yeah, I know, but thats Linus's code that does that
17:44.02sorphinand same w/ my VFD program
17:44.09CosmicPenguinPITA to modify all the time
17:44.10sorphinno idea why
17:44.17sorphinkergoth: any ideas mr serial?
17:44.18kergothCosmicPenguin: you expected otherwise/
17:44.34kergothsorphin: inferno hangs? in what syscall?
17:44.39CosmicPenguinkergoth: good pint
17:45.08sorphinright after opening ttyS0 (and if i don't init the seiral w/ something like say minicom) my vfd program can't access the serial port either
17:45.16kergothCosmicPenguin: most nonintelligent serial devices will rely on interrupts as a default behavior
17:45.19sorphinand i'm using standard serial access code
17:45.31kergothsorphin: i understand that, and which function is it hanging in?
17:45.32kergothopen()?
17:45.33kergothread()?
17:45.37sorphinopen
17:45.40CosmicPenguinkergoth: yeah.....  I suspect a hardware problem
17:46.01sorphinthat i can tell w/ strace anyways
17:46.12kergothif open() hangs, its blocking for some reason.  did clocal get turned off?
17:46.26sorphinkergoth: here's the code i use in my vfd program, which should work:

17:47.43sorphini keep it open
17:47.44kergothsorphin: open it in O_NONBLOCK to ensure the initial open() doesnt block if CLOCAL is unset
17:47.53sorphinhmm
17:48.04sorphinwonder is that's the same problem inferno has
17:48.13kergothsorphin: then open() is defined to be *unable* to block, cant hang
17:48.18kergothgenerally apps open() in nonblock to config
17:48.18sorphincuz like i said, once i hit the port once w/ minicom
17:48.21kergoththen reopen
17:48.28kergothminicom is setting parameters
17:48.28sorphinit's fine
17:48.31kergothaffecting behavior
17:48.39kergothcompare stty -a output before and after
17:48.53kergothbut to prevent the hang, open in nonblock for the configuration pass
17:49.04sorphinheh
17:49.07sorphini only open once
17:49.23kergothyou dont *need* to open a second time
17:49.29kergothunless you -want- it to hang for some reason
17:49.30sorphini compared my technique to.. i think it was apcupsd
17:49.35kergothie. modem app, you want it to block on carrier
17:49.40sorphinnod
17:49.43kergothafter sending AT commands having opened in nonblock
17:49.47kergothso just add O_NONBLOCK
17:49.51kergothshould be sufficient
17:50.17sorphininferno must not do that
17:51.10kergothright. so how it behaves depends on the serial port configuration prior to running it
17:51.14kergothwhich is *exactly* the behavior you're seeing
17:51.20kergoth;)
17:51.31sorphinheh
17:51.47kergothis the inferno source available?
17:51.53kergothif not, create a wrapper
17:51.58sorphini used to have to rename /dev/ttyS0 just to get infernoremote to boot ;) before i found the minicom tricks
17:52.00kergothwhich sets parameters sanely, then calls inferno
17:52.01sorphin-s
17:52.08kergothwould be much easier than using minicom
17:52.14sorphinyeah
17:52.15kergothjust have a script set stty params prior to running it
17:52.38sorphinwhat i wonder then is why does apcupsd init ok
17:52.44sorphinwhen i init the same as it does

18:28.47prpplagueTomW: you got that url for the pic/isa nic project?
18:28.58TomWyeah, but I don't recall posting that URL.
18:29.18prpplagueTomW: was very later one evening
18:29.27prpplagueTomW: i thought i'd bookmarked it
18:29.35TomWWhat is it that he is trying to do via ISA?
18:29.53CosmicPenguinHmmm.... It might have been MonMotha too
18:29.59TomWI have done some ISA stuff, long, long, time ago.
18:30.13prpplagueTomW: i was just thinking that if an isa nic could be used with a pic, then it might be possible to use it with the sa-1110
18:30.18CosmicPenguinIt was somebody who talks reguarly, it wasn't prpplague, sorphin or myself, and it was a hardware type
18:30.21TomWThere is one / two gotcha's.
18:31.07TomWI don't see why not, the ISA bus is pretty simple, as long as you don't use DMA.  The I/O decoding is not as readily apparent, but once you know.
18:31.22TomWLet me see if I still have the old orcad schematic...
18:36.37prpplagueTomW: nm, found it
18:37.41sorphinprpplague: share :P
18:37.47prpplaguesorphin: hang on
18:37.50sorphinsince i apparently don't have it bookmarked either

18:39.04sorphinnod
18:40.15prpplagueTomW: ya, it might be a nice project to include in the hack kit stuff
18:41.08sorphinordering too
18:41.27Russ|werkthe sa11x0 pcmcia bus is basically an ISA bus
18:42.10Russ|werkprpplague: it doesn't crash mozilla 1.2.1

18:42.51sorphinthat reminds me
18:42.53prpplagueRuss|werk: ya i'm on still on 1.1
18:43.02Russ|werknot a debian sid user I take it
18:43.05sorphini think i will try my isa-pcmcia adapter in the webpal when i get linux on it
18:43.46prpplagueRuss|werk: right thats what i was looking at, however, wasn't there still some timming issues for implementing a real isa bus that way?
18:44.08Russ|werkprpplague: no, the CS8900A is an ISA chip
18:44.30Russ|werkthe SRAM bus might have timing issues for ISA
18:44.38prpplagueRuss|werk: ahh, i need to go back and look at the lart nic board again then
18:45.08Russ|werkI built a similar nic board
18:45.16sorphinRuss|werk: looked at the flash simm pinout on the link off the bigbrd site?
18:45.59prpplagueRuss|werk: then it probably wouldn't that difficult to make an isa interface for a nic with the sa-1110
18:46.05Russ|werkno, I looked through google's cache yesterday, but didn't find it
18:46.16Russ|werkprpplague: not difficult at all
18:46.39Russ|werkprpplague: then again, I delt with 3.3V parts, with 5V parts, you'll need a buffer
18:46.39prpplagueRuss|werk: cool, but doing so would preclude the usage of a pcmcia or cf slot
18:46.41sorphinRuss|werk: well, now that the site's back.. i've been digging
18:46.51Russ|werkpcmcia == cf == ISA
18:47.11prpplagueRuss|werk: right but not all at the same time?
18:47.11TomWprpplague: yeah, the gotcha was that you had to qualify AEN with IO_RD & IO_WR, those signals went valid during a DMA operation so you had to use AEN also fully qualify the Address on the bus.
18:47.33Russ|werksorphin: my plan was to put in two 32 bit shift registers onto the parallel port, shift data and address in, shift data out
18:47.41Russ|werksorphin: very much like jtag
18:47.47sorphinyeah
18:47.51Russ|werkprpplague: they are basically the same bus
18:48.05sorphinRuss|werk: that would work seeing as we don't have a jtag of sorts :P
18:48.15Russ|werkTomW: AEN == CS
18:48.21TomWcorrect
18:48.33TomWin a kind of sort of way
18:49.00prpplaguehas anyone done a wget on the site yet to make a backup?
18:49.12TomWWhew!  I haven't thought of ISA interfacing in a loooooooooonnnnng time!
18:49.24sorphinprpplague: tom did
18:49.28Russ|werkprpplague: just email the guy
18:49.41prpplagueRuss|werk: for the web site?

19:17.25TomWfuck Adobe
19:17.29CosmicPenguinprpplague: well, it was kind of a victory - nobody actually got around to attacking the DMCA, they were just wrangling over semantics
19:17.47TomWtrue
19:18.07prpplagueCosmicPenguin: agreed, but none the less, its one more nail in the coffin
19:18.16TomWno direct contest of the DMCA, just that they were not intentionally in violation of it, heh
19:18.20prpplagueTomW: ya i'm the same way about adobe
19:18.51CosmicPenguinprpplague: actually, it probably removed a nail - sadly ElcomSoft admitted they "violated" the DMCA
19:19.47TomWsomething like the old PkZip vs Arc shit.

19:40.17Russ|werkyou can't grub on arm
19:40.30sorphini know
19:40.37Russ|werkso you'd need to port the code written for grub to use the doc
19:41.04sorphinRuss|werk: you think the tsop the flash uses is TSOP or reverse TSOP (looking at the amd spec sheet)
19:42.02sorphinhmmm, my flash program may be able to write to this thing
19:42.29TomWsorphin: they're heeeere!

19:44.32prpplagueRuss|werk: ya i know, but this was a special U shaped card since it was in a thinclient that didn't have enough space to use the isa slot

19:49.11Russ|werknot yet, expecting it tomorrow
19:49.17prpplagueahh ok
19:49.25Russ|werkone of the cards msys makes is taller than the metal isa clip
19:49.33Russ|werkand can hold theree flash chips
19:49.39Russ|werkthe other is about 2 inches tall and holds one

20:50.39prpplaguekergoth: is your board and actual netsilicon net+50 dev board? or is it something made by digi?
20:50.48prpplagueBZFlag: whats the story?
20:50.55kergothprpplague: 'digi connect'
20:51.03kergothprpplague: you?
20:52.08prpplaguekergoth: mine appears to be a netsilicon dev board
20:52.33kergothprpplague: ah. figured out what bootloader we'll need for this thing?
20:52.58prpplaguekergoth: nothing sold, just been doing some reading
20:53.19prpplaguekergoth: we might be able to chain boot similiar to what i've done with blob before
20:53.20TomWRuss|werk: for all the good that that lousy heatsink does for the LM323, IMO, the LM323 would be better off mounted to the Aluminum shields.  Much larger heatsink area.
20:53.38kergothprpplague: was thinking that as well. /me shrugs. doesnt matter much
20:53.40sorphinheh
20:53.44prpplaguekergoth: you think i need to call deb and have her send me a digi connect board instead
20:54.29prpplaguekergoth: no sure that having different board might slow us down...
20:54.49kergothprpplague: indeed. wonder whats different in the digi connect board..
20:55.10kergothprpplague: do you know what'll be in the printserver itself w/ regard to a board?
20:55.10BZFlagsorphin: at least it's public now. my situation is unresolved as of now. could be a couple more days.
20:55.21sorphinprpplague: "it has that digi goodness"? *smirk*
20:55.32sorphinBZFlag: ah..
20:55.37prpplaguekergoth: its suppose to be based on the digi connect board
20:55.39sorphinBZFlag: well, you know we all wish good luck
20:55.47kergothprpplague: ah
20:55.48BZFlaghttp://www.metrowerks.com/MW/Develop/Embedded/Emb_Linux/Strategy.htm
20:55.52prpplagueBZFlag: good luck
20:56.26prpplaguekergoth: i'll see if the docs have a pic of the board
20:56.55Russ|werkfile[laptop]: I assume the USB is on a different board
20:57.12BZFlagWhat Metrowerks is Acquiring - # All key talent from Embedix Inc.: management, engineering, marketing, sales ... oh really?
20:57.30kergothheh
20:57.32kergothdefine 'key talent'
20:57.47sorphinBZFlagNotCTO: yeah, i saw similar in the linuxdevices article
20:58.26sorphinbut that's my opinion atleast
21:03.47kergothBZFlagNotCTO: sorry to hear that.
21:04.06sorphingrrr
21:04.13kergothsorphin: ?
21:04.33sorphinstupid fscking BT and the stupid owner of where fysh.org was colo'd
21:04.46sorphinso now fysh.org is down for unforseeable
21:04.48Russ|werksorphin: you need a new colo?
21:04.54sorphinand i have tons of shit using my account there
21:05.17sorphinthey prolly will, but it's not my box and it's in england
21:05.35sorphinso now i switch everything over to my domain that i had going to dans@fysh.org
21:06.17kergothBZFlagNotCTO: any chance to build the sd Zaurus module against 2.4.19-rmk4 sources? ;)
21:06.23sorphinMFSOB
21:06.30sorphinand now phoenix crashes
21:06.32sorphingrr
21:06.35BZFlagNotCTOsure! you have ir working now?
21:06.38BZFlagNotCTOer it...
21:06.46MonMothasorphin: don't worry, mozilla is segfaulting on me about once very 30 seconds
21:07.08sorphinkergoth: my zaurus should be here tomorrow hopefully, if not thursday (hopefully tomorrow)
21:07.12MonMothaand I of course lack debugging in my moz build
21:07.16Russ|werksorphin: which mozilla?
21:07.37kergothBZFlagNotCTO: only very very basic functionality atm, but the kernel ABI shouldnt change enough to b0rk the binary sd module
21:07.46sorphinRuss|werk: it's the newest phoenix, so...
21:07.52kergothBZFlagNotCTO: mtd stuff is working, rewriting the keyboard driver as we speak
21:08.01kergothBZFlagNotCTO: that keyboard driver in that lineo patch was .. horrid
21:08.27Russ|werkkergoth: you can use the input layer and then use the glue driver I wrote
21:08.37prpplaguekergoth: are don't suppose your working in support for serial keyboard?
21:09.26Russ|werkprpplague: it would not be difficult, the shannon keyboad is essentially a serial keyboard
21:09.37kergothRuss|werk: holger schurig just sent me his input layer driver, which should help, just need to alter it. does your hardware use a keyboard matrix, or does your keyboard use a serial interface?
21:10.14Russ|werkkergoth: I just get codes from the serial port
21:10.41Russ|werkkergoth: but it passes them off to the input layer instead of dealing with the keyboard/console stuff
21:10.44kergothRuss|werk: I'll just adapt schurig's, i have a matrix to deal with, directly check key status
21:10.51kergothRuss|werk: (its input layer as well)
21:10.51Russ|werkand then input_keyb.c provides glue
21:10.56kergothRuss|werk: i love the input layer
21:11.03kergothRuss|werk: could you email me it though? i'd love to take a look
21:11.06Russ|werk2.6 will drop the keyboard/console stuff supposively
21:11.12Russ|werkkergoth: its in the -tux patches
21:11.27sorphinRuss|werk: eh ?
21:11.29kergothRuss|werk: ah
21:11.31Russ|werkkergoth: don't look at the interrupt code though, I'm fairly certain its broken
21:11.36kergothRuss|werk: k
21:12.29BZFlagNotCTORuss|werk: you saw the race patch on the mailing list? you going to add it to a new tux kernel patch?
21:12.48kergothRuss|werk: re: 2.6 dropping keyboard/console bits, good riddance, i've always hated the way its handled
21:13.08sorphinkergoth: umm.... then how the hell...
21:13.11Russ|werkBZFlagNotCTO: ya, I was going to wait til 2.4.20-rmk1 to merge again, but it looks like thats not coming till mid january
21:13.23Russ|werksorphin: input layer
21:13.35sorphinheh
21:13.41sorphinya know
21:13.50sorphinthe more i see of 2.6 code/ideas
21:13.56sorphinthe more i think i won't update to it
21:14.00kergothheh
21:14.08kergothyou think the input layer is a bad thing?
21:14.20kergoth~fishslap sorphin

21:14.54MonMothaibot ping?
21:14.56pong
21:15.10sorphinibot: ping monmotha
21:15.12i haven't a clue, sorphin
21:15.15sorphinbah
21:15.32kergothsorphin: because there has never been a standard means of handling input. there are an assload of independent implementations
21:16.06sorphinkergoth: well.... as long as it's not as shoddy as the damn ide code
21:20.45TomWhey! The WebPal does have sound!
21:20.56sorphinyeah
21:20.57sorphinit does
21:21.03sorphinjust no linux support for it
21:21.22TomWThe on-screen video of the TV looks kind of ragged though.
21:22.14TomWI almost feel that I am looking at something from an Apple ][, but Apple had better video. :-/
21:22.22sorphinhmm
21:22.30sorphinjordan said his was crisp
21:22.55TomWLet me try another unit, this is the one I took the covers off of.
21:25.17CosmicPenguinTomW: considering you're talking 640x480 on a NTSC, it shouldn't be too bad
21:25.47CosmicPenguinNot exactly XBox or PS2 quality, but there are lots more electronics in play on the dedicated TV consoles
21:25.48sorphinCosmicPenguin: you'd be surprised how some of these STBs are
21:26.02CosmicPenguinsorphin: no I wouldn't - I'm in the biz... :)
21:26.05sorphinmy WSP has eh.. rca out
21:30.22sorphinheh
21:30.28sorphinAOL Awarded Millions in Spam Case
21:30.43sorphinthey should be paying us millions for having to put up w/ all their fucking commercials ;p
21:31.34prpplaguesorphin: class action suit for "Mental anguish"
21:31.42sorphinindeed
21:32.38prpplaguei'll just be glad with the stupid christmas jewerly and lexus commercials go away
21:32.58sorphinprpplague: you don't want a lexus w/ a bow on it? ;)
21:33.06sorphinoh wait, that's right
21:33.14sorphinyou want a STRIPPER named lexus w/ a bow on her
21:34.00prpplagueohh ya baby
21:35.03sorphinhehe
21:35.42Lethalthat sounds vaguely more appealing then relabelled toyota propoganda :P
21:35.48TomWCosmicPenguin: yeah, I wouldn't call it "crisp" though.  It does look good with an LCD monitor (VGA) connected to it, the TV image is a bit disappointing.
21:36.18sorphinTomW: i'll hook mine up tonight
21:36.30sorphindepends on the qual of your tv too i suppose ;)
21:36.41sorphinand comparing vga to a tv is apples+oranges
21:42.15TomWagreed.
21:43.28TomWOne nice thing is how easily it integrates into my current setup.  I hooked the output of the WebPal into the Line inputs of the VCR, so now all I have to do is hit the Line selection of the VCR and I switch over to the WebPal.
21:44.03TomWThere are some interesting possibilities here for this thing.  Can anyone say pr0n?
21:44.07TomWheh
21:44.35sorphinumm
21:44.42sorphinprpplague can
21:50.10CosmicPenguinTomW: I like having the remote with the "mouse" on it - those bad boys are hard to find these days
21:50.39TomWCosmicPenguin: yeah, that mouse is certainly easy to use, isn't it?
21:51.59sorphingood god

21:52.52sorphinok, i think i'll go work for the DOE ;)
21:52.54kergothDOE? ah, department of energy?
21:52.58sorphinyup
21:53.11CosmicPenguinTomW: we wanted one of those remotes for our STB and we couldn't find any
21:53.31sorphinCosmicPenguin: well, these things are from 1997 ;)
21:55.45Russ|werkTomW: I looked at the kernel patch, and it looked like it had stuff to integrate with other devices (like VCR's)
21:55.58Russ|werkTomW: so maybe you could have it display callerid info or something
21:56.06Russ|werkI don't know where that port is though
21:56.11CosmicPenguinLets get pixilated!
22:01.07sorphinCosmicPenguin: yeah yeah yeah, we'll believe it when we see it ;p
22:07.36TomWI wonder, the 3C509 ISA cards that I have here do not have any fingers on the ISA pins for the DMA stuff...
22:07.47sorphinok..
22:08.18MonMothaIIRC the 3c509 was one of the first cards made to work in the tivo
22:08.28sorphinno
22:08.30sorphinit wasn't
22:08.40MonMothawould suggest that it possibly lacks such "advanced" features
22:08.41MonMothareally?
22:08.47sorphingeneric ne2k was
22:08.50MonMothareally...
22:09.04MonMothaI seem to remember reading something about ne2ks not working right due to some obscure thing
22:09.12MonMothabut then I don't hack tivoos
22:09.15TomWIf you pull the 93C46 EEPROM off of most ethernet controller chips, they default to 0x300 and their primary IRQ line.  The also lose their MAC number, but that can be stuffed into it by the ARM processor.
22:09.34TomWRight, ne2k's need DMA, IIRC.
22:09.45Russ|werkTomW: you could also put it into a dos machine and reprogram it
22:09.59TomWThe 3C509 is _not_ what you could call an NE2000 card.
22:10.14TomWRuss|werk: Ok, you got any of those machines handy?
22:10.25Russ|werkTomW: yes
22:10.26TomWAll my stuff is PCI.
22:10.40TomWNothing around here is ISA anymore.
22:10.57*** join/#elinux file (~lan@mctn1-3374.nb.aliant.net)
22:11.13Russ|werkyou don't have *any* isa boards left over
22:11.21sorphinno
22:11.22sorphinthey don't
22:11.29fileahhhh my new mouse and PCI USB card got sent out a bit ago
22:11.36TomWI also have a RT8019 ISA card.
22:11.53sorphinusing Eagle Ne2k cards
22:11.59sorphin*no* dma
22:12.05TomWlotta crap boards in that box...
22:12.06sorphinworks just fine
22:13.25TomWThe IOBASE of the 3C509 cards should be similar to that of the current Modem cards.  Just that instead of being IOBASE+0x3f8, it would be IOBASE+0x300.
22:13.45sorphinTomW: so i dunno hwere you came up w/ that :P
22:13.56TomWwhy
22:14.07MonMothaI've got a box of random boards...I should look through them some time :)
22:14.14sorphinandrew's original tivonet board he adapted the ne2k driver FOR the tivo :P
22:14.15MonMothamostly ethernet cards and videoc ards
22:14.21sorphinso :P
22:15.05TomWI don't have an NE2000 cards, I never bothered with them.  Only 3COM & RealTek stuff here, with the odd Nat Semi card.
22:15.12sorphinwell
22:15.20sorphini got these eagle cards
22:15.22sorphin5 for $5 on ebay :P
22:15.32TomWsorphin: ISA?
22:15.34sorphinyes
22:15.37TomWk
22:15.59sorphinnow ne2kpci, might be another story
22:16.01fileISA of course
22:16.02TomWYou do that then, I have these 3Com cards here by the handfull.
22:16.09sorphinheh
22:16.13sorphini have some 3com cards
22:16.17TomWyup
22:16.18sorphinthey all sucked ass
22:16.23TomWheh
22:16.30sorphinfscking useless Etherlink XLs
22:16.36prpplagueTomW: my vendor still has new isa ne2k pretty cheap
22:16.53kergothi have 3c509s laying all over my closet. i should really clean
22:16.58sorphinunfortunately i only have 1 eagle left :(
22:17.03TomWlet me say this then: UPS is a much better company than FedEx, UPS delivers stuff, FedEx loses stuff.
22:17.12sorphinsince i accidentally trashed one
22:17.30sorphinTomW: maybe fedex just doesn't like you
22:17.52prpplagueTomW: both are better than USPS
22:18.00TomWsorphin: umm, what was it that you were saying about those 3com cards?
22:18.14sorphinTomW: i have 4 diff etherlink XL cards
22:18.19sorphinall 4 SUCKED
22:18.34sorphinkergoth: um... you like in MN
22:18.44sorphinyou expect things to be right up there? :P
22:18.50kergothhehe
22:18.55TomWI have Etherlink III cards, seemed okay when I was using them.
22:18.56sorphinthen got the fuck out
22:19.05sorphinTomW: these.... didn't
22:19.12kergothi'd get the fuck out if i had someplace to go or a job somewhere
22:19.20kergothotherwise i'll stay here with my townhouse and shitty digi job
22:19.24prpplaguekergoth: pimp?
22:19.28fileI hate this 3Com card
22:19.29prpplaguekergoth: get you so ho's

22:19.33fileit refuses to work for me
22:19.35sorphinprpplague: offering him a job at the nudiebar?
22:19.37filein two computers, it just won't work
22:19.52prpplaguesorphin: sure, he can be the oil boy
22:19.57sorphinrotfl
22:20.03kergothlol
22:20.23sorphinyou mean he's the guy that reclaims all the used oil after oil wrestling?
22:20.27sorphin:P
22:20.30prpplaguekergoth: not much pay, but lots of benefits
22:21.34prpplaguekergoth: lol, ya well at least you get some sex, after you get screwed on a regular basis by digi, lol
22:21.44prpplaguekergoth: jk
22:21.47kergothi dont count bending over for digi
22:21.50kergoth:P
22:21.52TomWHAH!  I just noticed something!  The part numbers on the WebPal boards:  PWD-xxxx ,  It stands for "Printed Wire Board"!
22:22.01kergothhah
22:22.03sorphincute
22:22.04TomWMan! I haven't heard that term in years!
22:22.17sorphinTomW: the flash simm says htat too

22:22.34sorphins/PWD/PWB/ ;)
22:22.56sorphinTomW: think it'd be worth trying to find a couple amd chips to put w/ those ?
22:22.58prpplaguesorphin: ya i notice that last night while i was searching for other flash boards
22:23.14TomWI did ATE back in the '70s, some companies did call them that back then.
22:23.35sorphinTomW: back in the 70s, i was being conceived/born :P
22:23.45TomWsorphin: naw, you are better off with the CF or IDE solution.
22:24.05TomWsorphin: at least they give you the IDE interface, makes it a lot easier.
22:24.13sorphinonce you pull up that pin
22:24.24sorphini'm not even gonna ponder how they figured out that one
22:24.27kergoth70s? i wasnt even a glimmer in my dads eye
22:24.34TomWsorphin: plus, we have used that kind of technique on the Tux (look at the latest linux.rc)
22:24.40sorphinkergoth: how old ARE you chris? :P

22:29.55sorphinprpplague: depends.. what about em?
22:30.48prpplaguejust thinking about providing a project using one with the hack kit
22:30.56sorphinah
22:31.03sorphinwell, they're very versatile
22:31.42sorphintis funny cuz some of tivo's driver shit mentions FPGA, even tho they're not using one (but tested on one)

23:05.11CosmicPenguinprpplague: yeah, last night
23:05.15fileprpplague: I got the USB code for the Cybiko, CyOS and Win32 side
23:05.27CosmicPenguinprpplague: just a microcontroller - I would assume that it controls the analog stuff
23:06.07prpplagueCosmicPenguin: ya it looks like the smart card stuff is connected to it
23:07.02prpplagueCosmicPenguin: i
23:07.32prpplagueCosmicPenguin: i'm wondering if its connected to the 8 line gpio or on isa bus
23:08.17CosmicPenguinprpplague: according to the web site, it appears to be connected to the 2nd serial port
23:08.30CosmicPenguinprpplague: apparently multiplexed with the same post that we will end up using
23:08.48prpplagueCosmicPenguin: where did you read that? on the bird sight?
23:14.30CosmicPenguinprpplague: yeah
23:38.47prpplagueCosmicPenguin: what about the cpu pins outs? any found that?
23:44.16prpplaguefound the spec sheet, but they don't seem to be using descriptors i'm familiar with
23:45.18CosmicPenguinprpplague: nope
23:49.39prpplaguehmm, looks like the 8 gpio lines are connected to the video controler
23:52.10prpplaguethe onboard atod is not even being used, the pins are tied to groud
23:53.59CosmicPenguinprpplague: interesting
23:54.23CosmicPenguinprpplague: I would say that the video controller needs some real hack work - the CPU isn't really designed for that kind of stuff
23:54.25CosmicPenguinUnlike the Geode... :)
23:54.50prpplagueCosmicPenguin: ya well, i'll probably try yanking the control off
23:55.11CosmicPenguinprpplague: you don't want the video?
23:55.55prpplagueCosmicPenguin: lcd
23:56.16prpplagueCosmicPenguin: fpa coprocessor?
23:56.27sorphinheh
23:56.48prpplaguesorphin: i didn't know arm core shipped with fpa
23:57.27sorphinprpplague: learn something new every day? ;)
23:57.41sorphinbtw.. that atmel is strictly for the smartcard, nothing else
23:57.55sorphinhence why it's an AT90C (usually used a 90C or 90SC)
23:57.58CosmicPenguinprpplague: the arm core has a FPA?  Thats not right - its not an add on chip?
23:58.51prpplagueCosmicPenguin: not acording to the docs
23:59.01prpplagueCosmicPenguin: as i read it, its on the silicon
23:59.38prpplaguesorphin: its doesn't run the ir?
