00:00.16sorphinso, if that's not working, then something else is borked.
00:00.18Russ"1st cyc.... 0x5555 ...
00:00.21as26374.pdf is the datasheet Ive been reading.
00:00.35sorphinas2: well
00:00.53as2Claims to be the AT and AB datasheet.
00:00.56sorphinRuss: if it's an AT, which i think as can read :P
00:01.04as2Downloading the other one.
00:01.05sorphinthat link i pasted above is code that works
00:01.16as2I can read, but it may be printed wrong.
00:01.18Russthe one for just the T shows the address as 0x2AAA and 0x5555
00:01.30Russor they might have their datasheets screwed up
00:01.31as2I find that very interesting.
00:01.35sorphinRuss: which is how my chips are addressed too :P
00:02.02sorphin0x5555 and 0x2AAA are how these 128K chips are poked at addr wise
00:02.03as2The AT datssheet says 2AA and 555 which is not whats in the firmware.
00:02.12Russthen go off the T datasheet
00:02.13sorphinumm...
00:02.18sorphinas2: *sigh*

00:02.50sorphinwhich is used on an AT
00:02.58as2Interesting.
00:03.10as2Then its the datasheet thats screwed.
00:03.11sorphinas2: thought you looked at the file i pasted already? :P
00:03.28as2I have.
00:03.29sorphinas2: if there's sample code
00:03.33sorphini always follow that :P
00:03.55sorphinnow screw the datasheet
00:04.00as2Ive been doing better than that, so I thought.  Ive been using the code in the firmware.
00:04.03sorphinand use that above link as reference
00:04.25as2Will do, but thats telling me what Ive been doing is right, and its not working :/
00:04.32sorphinas2: since the commandset is the same as the SST/Atmel
00:04.41sorphini know it works ;)
00:04.48sorphinok, gimme an exampel then
00:05.01sorphinyou read the ID and you get/read the proper bits? or no
00:05.27as21st cycle, 2nd cycle, 3rd cycle use 900090 as the command...
00:05.43as2Then I do a read to the base address, and I see data, not ID.
00:05.52sorphinumm
00:06.06sorphin900090
00:06.10sorphindoesn't look proper
00:06.16sorphinfor any chip :P
00:06.35as2ITs both chips getting 0090 in parralel.
00:06.42Russno, you have to do unlock1, unlock2, and *then* command
00:06.47chouimatddd
00:07.09as2I am Russ, hang on.
00:07.14Russand unlock2 goes to a different address
00:07.27as25555 * 4 00AA00AAh
00:07.37as22AAA * 4 00550055h
00:07.47as25555 * 4 00900090h
00:08.01sorphinumm
00:08.01as23 writes, then a read from 0.
00:08.40sorphinas2: can you try just reading 1 chip?
00:09.14as2By putting 0000 is one side, yes.
00:09.23sorphinheh
00:09.33as2But then should be totally independant.
00:09.44Russ0x5555 << 2 = 0x00aa00aa
00:09.45sorphinaddress only 1 chip :P
00:09.58Russya
00:09.58as2I cant address only 1 chip.
00:10.13Russhmm
00:10.25as2Looks right, Russ.  But I'm getting only data :/
00:11.07Russyou should get 0x00200020 iirc
00:11.26as2Your right, I should :/
00:11.47Russand you are reading from 0, right?
00:11.57as2Yes, base+0.
00:12.22as2And I get the data I know is in base+0 instead.
00:12.22Russtry doing an unlock1, unlock2, then read array first
00:12.57as2Will do.  Since I'm handcoding the asm, this is a job for tomorrow, but that shounds like it could work.
00:13.02sorphinmight not be applicable here, but w/ the chips i work with
00:13.14sorphineven when reading the ID
00:13.20sorphini have to do a proper device exit
00:13.25sorphindunno of the ST chip requires it
00:13.33as2Hmm, device exit?
00:13.58sorphinproperly tells the chip you're done
00:14.00Russunlock1, unlock2, read array

00:14.18sorphin<PROTECTED>
00:14.18sorphin<PROTECTED>
00:14.30sorphinfor mine anyways
00:14.37sorphinsst and atmel require it
00:14.39Russright, thats what I said
00:14.44as2Interesting, and you get no joy unless thats done?
00:14.54Russif the chip is possibly in a wierd mode
00:15.20as2Interesting.
00:15.26sorphinRuss: on sst/atmel you don't get joy w/o that
00:15.29sorphinerm
00:15.35sorphinredirect that to as2
00:15.47as2I assumed that since I could read the data that I was in the mode, but maybe there is a default setting of somesort.
00:15.57as2That could be it then, easily.
00:16.24as2Much thanks the both of you :]
00:16.29sorphinas2: reading data isn't quite the same as doing a command to get the id :)
00:16.40sorphinjust like on my still bricked Z
00:16.41as2Maybe I wont have to talk to the furnature for the rest of my life after this project.
00:16.47sorphini can read all i want w/ no command
00:16.59sorphinthe id, you must get every command in
00:17.05sorphinor the chip looks at you funny ;p
00:17.24sorphinas2: if you want a *real* puzzle
00:17.28as2The problem I have, that if I screw up however slightly, it doesnt look at me at all.
00:17.29sorphinfigure out how w/o any commands
00:17.33sorphinor unlocking
00:17.48as2Theres no 'neerly' for any of this for 'safety' reasons.
00:17.49sorphini 'threw data' at my Z's flash
00:17.52sorphinand it bricked
00:18.21sorphintheoretically, it's impossible
00:18.24sorphinbut yet, it did
00:18.27as2The chances against random data doing a write must be astronomical.
00:18.36sorphinas2: well, guess what
00:18.38sorphinthey did ;p
00:19.06sorphinnot even the code i was writing
00:19.07sorphinjust junk
00:19.43as2MAybe you activated an erase then stopped it part, wait, no thats not possible either.
00:20.07fileVeni, Vidi, Velcro - I came, I saw, I stuck around
00:20.07as2Presumably all cells arnt discharged in parralel?
00:20.19as2Well, charged to 1, but you know what I mean.
00:20.45sorphinfile: please don't
00:21.02as2More like, I came, I saw, I copied nature and I made a fucking fortune.
00:21.12Russmaybe you got into that burst write mode
00:21.36sorphinRuss: umm.. lemme find the code :P
00:21.38RussVeni, Vidi, Visa
00:21.58RussI came, I saw, I shopped
00:25.22as2Hmm, actually.
00:25.29as2If you didnt do an erase...
00:26.11as2Then did a block write, youd end up with both data uperimposed.
00:26.23as2So it wouldnt be legable.
00:26.52sorphinas2: well, what i read back was consistantly repeating
00:27.02as2Oh, Hmm.
00:27.27as2I can only assume theres a bug in the flash.
00:29.59sorphinall i did

00:31.17sorphinyes, i know that's stupid, but for some reason, i was off my mind when the reader finally worked
00:31.40sorphini jumped right into writing, forgetting that i wasn't writing to an mtd device or such i was writing to flash and it needed commands
00:32.14as2Ive done simlerllaly stupid things, but got away with it.
00:32.43sorphinas2: well
00:32.53sorphin00000000  B0 B0 B0 B2  B0 B0 B0 B2   B0 B0 B0 B2  B0 B0 B0 B2   ................
00:32.59sorphintaht's what i ended up w/ a whole flash of
00:33.16sorphinand what's worse, i was only "writing" to where teh kernel lives
00:33.22sorphinbut the whole flash bought it
00:34.21as2Like wiring the oscilloscope to the wrong end of the photomultiplier and turning up the voltage till I saw a signal.  I think I was getting a signal at around 1500v.
00:34.31sorphinhaha
00:34.41as2(Voltage on the photmultipler power supply).
00:35.31as2The reason I got a signal, was that that high it was drawing so much power it was shorting the supply so I was getting a signal, dumb dumb dumb.
00:36.25as2Lucky it was secondhand, if Id have paid full whack at $600-800 for it ID have cried.
00:37.34sorphinas2: the scope or the multiplier?
00:38.00as2The multiplier.
00:38.15as2I paid over a grand for the secondhand digital scope.
00:38.28sorphinnod
00:38.30sorphinhmm
00:38.35sorphini'm confused about something now
00:38.44as2I was using 10:1 inputs, so it would have taken 400V if the capacitor had gone.
00:39.04sorphinnod
00:39.36as2Id have fried the probe, but the scope would have survived.
00:43.18sorphinhrm
00:43.22sorphini'm confused here
00:43.40sorphinwhat i've found elsewhere, tells me the Z is a SA1110
00:43.52sorphinbut in the source i'm looking at
00:43.57sorphinCONFIG_SA1100_COLLIE
00:44.16sorphinwho's right? :P (and i can't tell in the pics tim did)
00:44.40as2I dont know what a Z is.
00:44.46sorphinzaurus
00:45.07as2Not a clue then.
00:45.14sorphinas2: hmm
00:45.19sorphincouple nice ones on page3 atm
00:45.48as2Tux is a 1100, but IVe no idea what the difference between that and the 1110 is.
00:45.56sorphinas2: heh
00:46.03sorphinthe 1110 is post 1100
00:46.08sorphinand has some changes
00:46.13sorphina buncha actually
00:46.14sorphin-a
00:46.50as2Intel only had boundry scan stuff for the 1110, so I know its newer, had to search for a while to find the stuff for 1100.
00:47.43sorphinheh
00:47.54sorphini found the 1100 jflash stuff
00:48.01sorphinruss had to point me at the 1110 stuff
00:48.15as2Its a nice change though, other compnaies dont give out boundry scan stuff unless they get blood first.
00:49.16sorphinas2: like sharp ;)
00:50.04as2What did you have to be to get to sign the NDA?
00:50.26sorphinas2: my alternate option (which would be easier) is russ' jtag mtd driver
00:50.37sorphinas2: heh, kergoth sent a mail to the sharp guy w/ me cc'd saying i bricked my Z and needed the manual
00:50.41sorphin13 days later
00:50.50sorphini got a mail w/ the nda and where to fax it
00:50.53sorphinso i faxed, emailed back
00:50.58sorphinlil while later that day
00:51.00sorphini had the manual
00:51.17as2Well thats not terrible.
00:51.23sorphinas2: so i'd say, knowing kergoth had a perk ;)
00:51.44filewell I'm going away for two days - so everyone have a party while I'm gone

01:00.49fileis it possible over the same cable?

01:01.36sorphinthat's exactly why ethernet uses those pins

01:21.33Russhmm...I need to do funky stuff with SDRAM
01:21.49Russis there a way to be sure code will run from cache and not make bus accesses?
01:22.15Russor do I need to set aside a space in flash for these loops to run?
01:23.40as2Is there a specific reason you dont want bus access?
01:24.08RussI'm going to have an external bus master generate SDRAM commands and do writes and such
01:24.23Russand I want to reprogram the SDRAM before and after this happens
01:24.46Russ(a write burst of 1024 cycles will happen)

01:25.43asBringing nReset of the CPU low isnt an option?
01:25.48Russno
01:26.27Russsleep mode would be an interesting option though
01:26.38Russwould have to time things very carfully
01:26.44RussI could call it lazurus
01:26.48asHaha.
01:27.02Russa processory that sleep 4 - 20 times a second
01:27.10asMore like proplus that lazarus.
01:27.18asThan.
01:27.27Russanyway, I have bursting data comming in at 133MHz
01:27.39Russand I can't see what I type, so I make a lot of mistakes
01:27.49asIf you have a loop running in a single cache line, with no other tasks, interupts off, that should leave the bus alone.
01:28.16Russalternatively, I'd like to convince the processor to do the SDRAM signaling
01:28.22Russand then use a bus exchange switch
01:28.38Russbut I don't think I'd be able to convince the SDRAM controller to make a continous burst like that
01:29.07as133MHz bursts :/
01:29.46asWhats doing the memory addressing, and will everything fit in 1 cycle accesses?
01:30.13Russthe SDRAM would do the addressing because a large enough chip will hawe 102 bytes in a single row
01:30.17Russer, 1024 words
01:30.33as10 bits, yes that sounds right.
01:30.53asCan you burst data in like that without altering column bits?
01:31.21asIVe never used SDRAM.
01:31.22Russya, I just need an ACTIVE command with the right column
01:31.30Russand the column can be generated beforehand
01:31.40asAha.
01:31.52Russand then a BURST TERMINATE afterwards
01:31.58asWhats the total data rate for this app?
01:32.14Russit bursts 1024 words at 133MHz
01:32.25Russwaits about 600 cycles
01:32.27Russbursts again
01:32.37Russthis happens until 4M of data is filled, and then stops
01:32.53asCrikey.
01:33.27asWheres the data coming from out of interest?
01:33.30Russat least thats the tenative schedule
01:33.42Russwhats 4M / 1024?
01:33.59asYes, an ADC, logic analyser extension..?

03:09.57sorphinRuss: remind me what i may need to change in your code?
03:10.21sorphini added the partitions, just change the header file over to the sa1110 one, and..
03:12.03Russthe method used to read/write jtag signals
03:12.12Russany references to chain length in the code
03:13.00sorphinhrm
03:15.05sorphinRuss: the chain length is in the sa1110 header
03:16.25Russsweet, I can prefetch icache lines by address
03:16.55Russyou might diff the header thats there, and the header that was for the sa1100 jflash
03:17.42sorphinactually
03:17.51sorphinthe sa1110.h that was in teh assabet code
03:17.55sorphincomments what was changed
03:18.02sorphinin the header
03:18.36sorphini.e.
03:18.36sorphin#define D31_0_EN        199                     //212
03:18.42sorphinit's 199 in SA1100
03:18.46sorphinand 212 in SA1110
03:18.52Russthere might be lines missing
03:19.27sorphinin the sa1110.h file?
03:20.35Russin the sa1100.h file
03:20.59Russlike instead of commentitng out lines that aren't there, they might be deleted
03:34.25*** part/#elinux GPSFan (~kenm@65.114.238.130)
03:44.10sorphinin the sa1100 file they're changed, commented out, etc.. none 'deleted'
03:47.59CosmicPenguinLOL!
03:48.37CosmicPenguinOn Law and Order, they were tracking a "hacker" with an IP address of 329.14.1.104
03:49.17Russwhy is that funny?
03:49.19Russit was ipv6
03:49.22Russfoolio
03:51.18CosmicPenguinuhh...
03:51.36CosmicPenguinA four nibble ipv6 address?
03:52.15Russwhat?
03:52.19Russyou can have an IP like this:
03:52.21Russ12421412.3
03:52.42CosmicPenguinSomehow I don't think that Law and Order is progressive enough to have a ipv6 address
03:52.44CosmicPenguinBut I might be wrong
03:53.35sorphinRuss: so what's left? the file for the SA1110 is fine (which is what i'll be using) and it has the chain length, etc
03:54.10Russthe jtag interface
03:55.06sorphinRuss: so.... how do i figure what needs to change, just compare against the sa1110 jflash?

14:48.19sorphinyou have a limited selection of cities (4) and then you pick off of that on a lil map, but it doesn't display the right damn time anyways
14:49.36CosmicPenguinsorphin: I'm probably going to add a good chunk of timezones, but you'll have to pick them off a list

14:57.08sorphinhacking this cradle is gonna be a pita and a 1/2, so i have 2 choices
14:57.38sorphindo it anyways, and hope i leave it 'switchable' or, just steal it's connector and get one of those serialio cables for normal Z activities
14:58.29kergothi'd say go with the latter, personally
14:58.35sorphinyeah
14:58.45sorphinthat cable's cheaper than another cradle too
14:58.54sorphinand it charges the Z off the USB

15:18.10TomWhazy, cold & dismal this morning.
15:18.29sorphinTomW: *g*.. well, the micro is on it's way (well, soon as they ship the thing) :P going to the local elex place to look at whatever scopes they have today
15:18.34sorphinTomW: is here too
15:18.42sorphin52 and foggy
15:19.01TomWSo, you bought the ebay thing?
15:19.10sorphinthe microscope, yes
15:19.57TomWheh, that Ipaq helped me out at the meeting yesterday.  The customer had mentioned prior to the meeting about maybe using WinCE in his new product.
15:20.08sorphinheh
15:20.28TomWSomehow, I got my Ipaq into some stupid mode that it has a "wait" timer constantly displayed.
15:20.45sorphinhehe
15:20.56TomWSo, I took it to the meeting and asked him if he could figure out what WinCE was doing?
15:21.12TomWThe thing runs, but very very sloooooooooowly.
15:21.21TomWGreat demo!
15:21.27TomWheh
15:21.32sorphinhehe
15:21.45TomWBTW, it has been sitting here like that for the past 12 hours.
15:22.01TomWI told it to delete a file...
15:22.25sorphinTomW: niice
15:22.27CosmicPenguinTomW: Windows is its own best demo
15:22.38TomWSo, I asked him "are you sure that WinCE is what you want to use"?
15:22.51TomWhe's not so sure now.
15:22.55sorphin;)
15:23.00CosmicPenguinI got a great Windows story the other day too
15:23.14sorphinCosmicPenguin: lets hear it
15:23.25CosmicPenguinMy grocery store has those self checkout kiosks (which I love).  
15:23.51sorphinyeah, they just started having those here not too long ago, not seen one tho, since i don't grocery shop ;)
15:23.53TomWCosmicPenguin: yeah.  What is funny is that he embedded a single board computer into one unit, loaded WinNT onto it and was demo'ing it around to his customers to incite some interest in "the new conept".
15:24.01CosmicPenguinThe other day I went in at like 7:00 AM, and all the self checkout machines were showing a Windows 98 login screen
15:24.08CosmicPenguinAnd the guy was going around and obviously rebooting them all
15:24.15sorphinROTFL
15:24.30CosmicPenguinSo I asked him what he was doing, and it turns out that they need to reboot them several times a day or else they just hang and stop running
15:24.36sorphinbad enough they use windows, but 98?
15:24.41CosmicPenguinsorphin: no shit
15:24.44TomWCosmicPenguin: Well, this is a Burgular Alarm Manufacturer...  His customers were _not_ excited with the prospect of having to reboot their Security equipment!
15:24.51CosmicPenguinTomW: I'll bet
15:24.53sorphinTomW: haha
15:25.01TomW:D
15:25.31CosmicPenguinThe problem with all this is, that when you see something like that, you *know* that they made a bad decision, and that you could've done the same thing for cheaper and better
15:25.37CosmicPenguinand it makes you sad
15:25.42sorphinCosmicPenguin: indeed
15:25.48TomWI just love it!  Their self-proclaimed windoze expert has lost so much face, I just say little and let Windoze sell itself.
15:26.12sorphinCosmicPenguin: just told the guy behind me what you just told us, and when i emphasised it was 98, he just "ewww'd"
15:26.21CosmicPenguinyeah
15:26.27sorphinTomW: or not sell itself
15:26.29CosmicPenguinThey could've at least used NT
15:26.36sorphineven 2k
15:26.50TomWI bitch about how slow the WinCE debit card terminal runs, every time I go to the supermarket.
15:26.50sorphinK5/166
15:26.52CosmicPenguinmaybe the makers got a deal on 98 licenses... :)
15:27.05sorphinCosmicPenguin: something like that
15:27.32sorphinTomW: speaking of stores
15:27.37TomW?
15:27.43sorphini'm boycotting worstbuy now :P
15:28.04TomWheh, everybody does that, didn't you know how expensive they are?

15:33.23TomWa customer got himself one of those Zaurus 5500's?
15:33.24sorphinCosmicPenguin: well, i have a firewire card, just all the stuff out there to use is fscking USB
15:33.30sorphinTomW: yah?
15:33.46sorphinCosmicPenguin: and anything remotely firewire is $$$$
15:33.53TomW... with the CF ethernet. He can browse the web, but wants to know how to get at samba shares.
15:33.57CosmicPenguinsorphin: the point is, when firewire starts getting built in, thats when it will take off
15:34.16sorphinCosmicPenguin: already seen MBs w/ it built in
15:34.20CosmicPenguinsorphin: we don't count - because we would climb mountains to install new crap
15:34.51sorphinTomW: that'd be a kergoth Q
15:34.54TomWsorphin: www.freetech.com, their ITX boards all have it.
15:35.10sorphinwhat exactly IS ITX?
15:35.17TomWsorphin: they even give you the connector mounted on the rear panel.

15:36.53TomWsorphin: I use ITX boards like crazy now.  My workstation measures 8"x8"x11", aluminum case and I have a Pentium-III in there with 2 40Gig drives.
15:37.20sorphinshit like this would make all 3 pcs fit on 1 rack shelf :P
15:37.40signal11yeah itx is excellent
15:37.49TomWsorphin: I have another case with a P-4 board 2Ghz, scsi dat tape, scsi cdrw and 120G drive.
15:38.06signal11is there an itx board with a low power athlon?
15:38.18sorphinsignal11: that's what i was wondering
15:38.53TomWThis Tuesday, I will tuck my computer & LCD monitor under my arm to visit a customer site to work on some stuff.  I just take my whole development stuff with me.
15:39.08sorphinhehe
15:39.23TomWsignal11: all I have seen is Intel boards & Via boards so far.
15:39.46signal11it would be cool to build an LCD monitor that was also an itx case
15:39.47sorphinTomW: via implying via cpus too?

15:40.34TomWsorphin: The sell something they call a BookPC case: 3"x11.5"x10", about the size of a three-ring binder.  I use those in the KFC stores and as servers.
15:40.35signal11well you're not going to run CAD programs on it or anything

15:41.29sorphinman you utah'ins don't get out much ;)
15:41.31CosmicPenguinsignal11: AMD has a board, but its MIPS based, believe it or not
15:41.41signal11CosmicPenguin: heh interesting
15:41.44sorphinCosmicPenguin: hmm, does sjmips know about it?
15:41.56CosmicPenguinsorphin: he's not kidding - I live about 3 blocks from the first KFC
15:42.18sorphinin utah? i saw the thing bout sanders before
15:42.20TomWsignal11: yeah, I got a guy who runs a few KFC Chicken stores and we use linux there for the daily operation.
15:42.22sorphinand i don't remember it being in utah

15:51.44sorphinTo do a cold reset of all 3100, 3600, and 3700 series iPAQs, toggle the battery DIP switch (as referenced in TIP #1) to the off position and let the device remain off for five minutes. Return the DIP switch to the battery on position to reactivate the battery.

19:41.25sorphinas long as you didn't trash the pins, yeah, assuming your cell has the stuff to talk to usb/serial
19:41.51TheMasterMind1i took the small little circuit board out

21:12.10Russ"Why do you need to know the pixel clock?"
21:17.07as2Tell them something they dont understand maybe.
21:17.23RussI'm pretty sure I'm already past that point
21:17.26as2That you want to interlace signals on the access.
21:17.43as2Ahh, its just general defensive stuff.
21:18.38RussI don't know how its the place of someone who's *job* it is to provide tech info to say "why do you need to know ..."
21:18.45TheMasterMind1hi
21:18.56as2Your making the mistake they are there to help.
21:19.12Russand their TRM is filled with pages that say "data will be included after physical chip has returned"
21:19.14as2They arnt, they are there to prevent people getting the information they are after.
21:19.22TheMasterMind1You are making the mistake of thinking that they are there to help.
21:19.24TheMasterMind1is what you mean
21:19.26Russyou'd think they could send me that info at least
21:19.48RussI'm planning on purchasing large quantities of their chip
21:19.54Russif I can get tech info from them
21:20.01as2Then talk to your sales contact.
21:20.14Russshe is the "tech sales" contact
21:20.27Russa sales person who is supposed to know tech stuff and answer tech questions
21:20.43as2Ive never heard of a tech sales contact.
21:21.06Russit took me 5 or 6 emails to determine that 4 of their chip offerings are the same chip sold at different price points with different bios bits set
21:21.25Russas: maybe I'm using the wrong name for it
21:21.27as2Haha, that figures.
21:21.52Russbecause I kept asking for TRM's for them
21:22.05Russand she wouldn't give them to me, just the TRM on one of them
21:22.08as2And they really dont want you to know that, or you might be able to change the bits yourself and save a fortune.
21:22.18Russso I'd ask whats different, and she'd list the differences
21:22.31Russand then I'd ask for the TRM, and she'd tell me they were all the same
21:22.38Russ"but you just said they were different!"
21:22.56Russas2: I'm NDA'd
21:23.27as2Doesnt matter.  If you can undercut knowing what you do on their own chips....
21:24.07RussSiS's offering is AGP8x and has a 700 some pin count
21:24.17as2A few bits change is probably a lot of money in order to save on hgaving several different chips fabbed with real prices on function.
21:24.18Russso I'd rather not use it, but if they are actually cooperative...
21:26.16Russand the TRM is more like advertising material with feature lists and some token timing diagrams
21:26.34as2I keep hitting them.
21:26.34Russwith TBA timings
21:27.22as2Though I havnt found so much as a product brief for EMMA.
21:27.42Russemma
21:27.44Russ?
21:28.00as2The NEC chip thats been giving me nightmares.
21:28.33as2If I give up on the flash problem, my only choice is to resume attacking that one.
21:29.23Russif you still can't get it, I'm thinking its a cycle interruption
21:29.40Russlike an IRQ, or a memory access to flash
21:30.02as2I'm running it from a high priority interupt process.
21:30.11sorphinheh
21:30.13Russwhy?
21:30.24as2God shouldnt be able to infere with that code.
21:30.29sorphinkergoth: hey, i'm trashing but not trashing the cradle
21:30.37kergothsorphin: err?
21:30.40Russwhy not just disable interrupts
21:30.42sorphinkergoth: gonna snag all the connectors and make anotehr board
21:30.53as2Several reasons, mainly becuase I have to boot the CPU in boot from link mode, which is stalled.
21:30.55sorphinthat has conns for jtag, serial and a usb hookup
21:31.14sorphinkergoth: or snag a 15 pin connector for the 'new cable' i'll make
21:31.29sorphinand make adapters for it
21:31.30as2In order to run code, I have to setup the DCU, and force a trap.
21:31.38sorphinthat way i can 'reuse' the 16 pinner
21:31.59as2All that is working fine though, I have operations to make sure the code I want running is running ok.
21:32.47as2Aside from that, the flash bank is not the active bank, even if the CPU wasnt stalled apart from my code.
21:32.51sorphinkergoth: basically what the cradle wishes it was, but w/o spending 39.99+ more
21:33.49Russas2: did you set the bus timings?
21:34.09as2Hmm.
21:34.33as2No, but the CPU defaults so it can boot of the flash bank above it.
21:34.57RussI'm not sure what you mean
21:34.58as2I think thats all I should need.
21:35.01Russbut check your timings
21:35.29as2I only need to setup EMI stuff for the DRAM, which I'm not bothering with.
21:35.57as2Hmm, I'll run through the startup code just incase though.
21:36.27Russand you might "re"turnoff any writebuffers, cachable bits, etc
21:36.36Russjust to be sure
21:36.55Russbecause unlock1, unlock2, command is three words
21:36.55as2I'm using device access commands like the internal code is.
21:37.03RussI know
21:37.11Russwritebuffers are part of the die
21:37.14Russnot software
21:37.16as2Theres no way they can be modified, they go as is.
21:37.46as2These cant be cached, they cant be grouped and they are forced to execute in order.
21:38.08RussI don't think you are getting what I'm saying
21:38.17Russmost memory controllers have a write buffer of 4 words
21:38.22Russyou can have it on, or off
21:38.40Russwhen you make writes, it stores them in the write buffer until its full, or a timeout occurs
21:38.44Russ(if its enabled)
21:38.49Russand then writes them in a burst
21:38.49as2Thats not possible for this.
21:38.55Russwhat do you mean?
21:39.10as2I'm using devsw.
21:39.17Russdevsw?
21:39.47as2Its a specific peripheral access instruction on this CPU, it cant be cached, its not going to be hit by memory controller weirdness.
21:40.05Russhmmm
21:40.18Russwhat about endian modes and corrections?
21:41.05as2I'm doing exactly the same as the firmware is doing, but when I try to call the firmware with my variables, it doesnt work either, something is ignoring me under those circumstances.
21:41.21Russit doesn't matter if you are doing the same
21:41.34Russwhat matters is the prosessor state
21:41.43as2I thought F0 might be the solution.  As the firmware probably sneaks that in earlier.
22:33.25TheMasterMind1sorphin: the little board with the button and the 16pin connector on it has the other connector which the wire going to the rest of the cradle circuit connects to. any idea what the pin arrangement for that wire/connector is?
