15:42.09T0mWhello
15:42.58T0mWprpplague: you have time, I'm working throught the first cuppa' and not worth much until then

15:45.54beebleso a stencil can be cut with a low-cost laser cutter
15:46.00beeblehow low is low cost?
15:46.13T0mWprpplague: I had given carefull thought to the same idea.  
15:46.14filesweet I'm seeing blue spots
15:47.14T0mWprpplague: I finally figured that would work, maybe, but you have the problem of getting the sqeegee around those posts...
15:47.50T0mWtape, that is the answer.  Tape and two small codiment dishes, works well.
15:48.40T0mWor coins, or medallions, anything that weights 1/2 ounce and less than 2 ounces
15:49.47T0mWbeeble, I ordered a stencil for a 5.5 X 7 inch board, cost me a total of $60.
15:50.41T0mWbeeble: I had the stencil three days later via Express Mail
15:51.13beeblesounds good
15:52.42T0mWThe only thing that I'll ever use a paste syringe on will be for the occasional IC replacement / rework.  The stencil is a much better way to apply solder paste.  More even, and accurate distribution of the solder paste.

16:40.14T0mWthis is silly.  I've been looking at code, etc., for the LPC2000 and noted that it seems most people are slapping a boilerplate copyright notice into every file they make available.
16:41.40T0mWthey do this to trivial code and even header files.  For example, one guy has this copyright notice in a header file which contains the ARM SOC registers names and bit values.  And, it is the exact same verbage was that used in the Philips docs!
16:42.22T0mWHow do claim copyright over something that isn't yours?  It appears that Microsoft isn't the only one using Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt these days.
16:43.01T0mWOne guy is even asserting copyright over uuencode / decode.

16:45.21prpplagueT0mW: i think alot of ppl are scared about losing control over work they've done
16:45.25prpplagueT0mW: its on my mind
16:45.45prpplagueT0mW: i've had three incidents in the last two years where other ppl have claimed my work as theirs
16:53.52T0mWprpplague: this is a reply I got from one of the "offenders", a software company: http://rafb.net/paste/results/HhlkzR60.html
16:54.52T0mWSo, they are claiming that "sweat" can create a copyright, regardless of who the original copyright owner is.

18:16.04beeblehow much flash do you have?
18:19.27TimRikerT0mW: got any recommendations on hardware for a digital phone switch? Ie: a small embedded box that would hook into a few POTS lines and have a number of jacks for phone extensions?
18:19.57TimRikerwould also have ethernet to handle VoIP stuff.
18:20.36TimRikerMarkK: checkout the OS used on the Nokia 770.
18:20.56TimRikeror the Qt/E stuff used in OE/OZ/etc
18:21.15prpplagueMarkK: there is a complete OE build for the geode
18:21.37TimRikerhas anyone integrated the nokia stuff into OE yet?
18:21.53TimRikerthat's GTK/dillo perhaps? /me does not recall.
18:22.04T0mWTimRiker: no, I don't do any POTS work, other than simple audio modems.

18:29.31mbufi am trying to study the flash operations of amd29lv160db, the datasheet doesn't seem to give very detailed info; are there flash specific commands that are not provided in chip datasheets ?
18:30.30prpplaguembuf: amd isn't know for their details in flash datasheets
18:31.41mbufprpplague, i have the code in u-boot, i can understand it, but, can't figure out how to correlate it with the datasheet info
18:32.34mbufprpplague, btw, i fixed the macro problem, "mr32 addr, data # [addr]=data" - in GNU as, @ is used as a in-line comment than #, arm assembly uses # Rn operand
18:32.39prpplaguembuf: thats the nor flash on the s3c2410 board?
18:32.48mbufprpplague, yes
18:33.14prpplaguembuf: that one should be cfi compliant
18:33.24mbufprpplague, yes it is
18:33.44prpplaguembuf: then you should be able to get the CFI doc for info about the process
18:33.59mbufprpplague, ohh ok
18:34.34prpplaguembuf: imho 90% of doing embedded level work is knowing where to find the documentation

20:07.33TimRikerfile: of course. the thought is to build an embedded server running asterisk,
20:07.43filekk
20:08.15fileboth Digium and Sangoma have cards for Asterisk for analog deployment, high capacity and low capacity
20:08.51prpplaguehehe, i remember using a Sangoma 56k DDS card
20:09.06prpplagueand t1 stuff
20:09.26prpplaguethey worked pretty well, just could not justify the price compared to a standalone device
20:10.43TimRikerfile: nod. I was hoping for a stand alone box at a lower price point.
20:13.34fileTimRiker: not really
20:13.57filethe closest people have come to a stand alone embedded device is a soekris with a digium board in it
20:16.19TimRikerdo you think a stand alone could be built for cheaper?
20:16.30TimRikerif so, what hardware would you use?
20:17.22TimRikerI wonder if something like the ti omap would help having a dsp. I don't think the omap offers many input/output channels though and you'd need as many as you could get.
20:17.48TimRikerwhat do the digium boards use? ie: is there a d/a a/d for each line?
20:29.33pb_The Digium boards certainly aren't all that cheap per port.  From what I remember, you can buy a 2xFXS+1xFXO ATA from, say, Grandstream for about the price of a single channel on a tdm400.
20:29.59pb_I daresay you could make something cheaper than a digium tdm card if you wanted just a few ports - say, four - on an embedded-type system.

20:42.51khemCan anyone help with debugging linux wit JTAG debuggers
20:43.24prpplaguekhem: depends on which debugger you are using
20:43.34prpplaguekhem: you might get more assistance in #openjtag
20:44.12khemprpplague: I am using ARM ICE and RealView Debugger on Versatile 926 Ref board
20:45.15prpplaguekhem: hmm, can't say i've used that one
20:45.21prpplaguekhem: might try the openjtag guys
20:45.36prpplaguekhem: what are you actually debugging?
20:46.31khemI am debugging thumb applications segfaults so I am able to launch the kernel image from JTAG
20:46.42khembut it does not stop on exceptions
20:46.58khemand also not on H/W break points that I am setting.
20:47.15khemI can restart/stop the target
20:47.27T0mWdebugging from Flash?
20:47.50T0mWor is your code in RAM?
20:47.54khemT0mW: no its downloaded
20:47.56khemto RAM
20:48.07T0mWshrug, mine works
20:48.12T0mWmust be a config problem
20:48.32khemT0mW: Do you use uboot  to download image
20:48.35T0mWdid you try contacting their tech support people, those are commercial products
20:48.46khemT0mW: or do you download the image from RV Debugger
20:49.12T0mWI know that my Abatron unit has specific steps to be used with the linux kernel.
20:49.28khemT0mW: I have option to use abatron as well
20:49.33T0mWI use insight
20:49.46khemT0mW: Can I debug an application using abatron
20:49.54T0mWIIRC, Realview is ARM Ltd debugger?
20:50.05khemsomeone told me that it is good for kernel debugging
20:50.10khemyes it is from ARM ltd
20:50.15T0mWnod
20:50.33T0mWANY hardware jtag unit is "good for kernel debugging"
20:51.12khemT0mW: my scenario is that I am getting a segfault in bash bug the back trace is showing me that pc is pointing in stack
20:51.17khemso no back trace
20:51.30T0mWbut, as I said, there was a section in the Abatron manual which told me "how" to use the Abatron to debug the linux kernel.  It is not the same as debugging an application.
20:52.26khemT0mW: So i Want to stop in bash/code essentially not in kernel
20:52.56T0mWI don't know of anyone here that uses RealView + MultiICE, mostly Abatron or Lauterbach
20:53.02khembut for me gdb/gdbserver is also segfaulting so I can not use application debugger
20:53.40khemI am bringing up a system with thumb mode applications
20:54.16T0mWhow does the system work when compiled as ARM32?
20:55.35khemworks ok
20:55.45T0mWI believe that you are going to run into some interesting problems with Thumb code + Linux, AFAIK, the kernel would still have to be ARM32 not Thumb.
20:56.05khemI can trace down to some PLT entries but thats all and its a guess too
20:56.32T0mWis the kernel compiled as thumb or arm32?
20:56.34khemT0mW: kernel is compiled in ARM mode but it can support running thumb binaries
20:56.59T0mWcorrect, it can, IF you do a mode switch on the processor (bx)
20:58.03T0mWbefore you make your system calls from within the app / libraries, you have to switch from Thumb to ARM32 mode, call the ARM32 kernel, then resume thumb mode after the syscall
20:58.41T0mWthere is no thumb support in the kernel, mode switching or otherwise
21:00.01khemyes that part is done in uclibc, this may also have problems
21:00.32T0mWI suspect so.
21:00.57T0mWa libary
21:01.00T0mWsuch as newlib
21:01.08khemT0mW: I have to run to a meeting thanks for your help so far
21:02.03T0mWdetects the ARM state during the incoming call (entry to the lib), then switches CPU to appropriate mode that the library is compiled in: interworking
