08:10.30Russljp: already found a couple bad bugs in qt 4.1.0
08:11.42Russits funny, in their docs, trolltech states that connect/disconnect etc are thread safe, but not reentrant
08:11.52Russthey are neither
08:12.15Russinside a slot, disconnect, emit, connect, bad things happen
08:12.35Russsomehow they figured, an in use bit on QConnections would be enough
08:14.11Russwhat was the other one....

15:24.00prpplagueT0mW: hey
15:24.23prpplagueT0mW: you ever done any urethane resin molds ?
15:24.42T0mWnow
15:24.44T0mWno
15:24.58T0mWprpplague: plenty of other drugs though
15:25.12prpplagueT0mW: hehe
15:25.37prpplagueT0mW: http://www.smooth-on.com/proto.htm
15:26.49T0mWprpplague: problem will be the mold: $$$
15:27.25prpplagueT0mW: in what way?
15:28.50T0mWprpplague: I knew a guy that was having his own plastic parts injection molded, fairly rigid plastic.  He told me that an aluminum mold cost him around $5K to machine out and it was only good for about 10..20K cycles before it wore to the point where it needed to be replaced
15:29.13prpplagueT0mW: yea this is different than the injection molding
15:29.48prpplagueT0mW: this method you just make one of the items, then cast it in silicon, then you have a mold to use
15:29.50T0mWprpplague: that's all I know about molding parts.
15:29.55prpplagueT0mW: ahh
15:30.04prpplagueT0mW: this seems pretty easy to do
15:30.25prpplagueT0mW: seems alot of the home brew portable guys are using this method for custom cases
15:30.26T0mWprpplague: planning on doing your own case?
15:30.40T0mWprpplague: interesting
15:31.06prpplagueT0mW: http://benheck.com/phoenix/Overview-Case.htm
15:31.11T0mWprpplague: planning a bigger case for your modified zipit?
15:31.19prpplagueT0mW: i've always wanted to be able to custom cases
15:31.53T0mWprpplague: wonder if you can do custom keypads that way?
15:32.17prpplagueT0mW: i would think you could
15:33.28T0mWprpplague: on another topic, I've found that since I'm trying to quit smoking, that the occasional cigar I do have tastes sooooo goood!

15:38.27prpplagueT0mW: question
15:38.42prpplagueT0mW: i'm doing some prototyping that needs a 3.3v source
15:39.23prpplagueT0mW: i was thinking of using a wallwort into a 7805 , then the 5v into a LM1085 for 3.3v
15:39.42T0mWprpplague: that should be fine.
15:39.47prpplagueT0mW: my proto boards i get already have a barrel connector and pads for 7805
15:40.01T0mWprpplague: that is a three-terminal (series) regulator?
15:40.17T0mWsmd?
15:40.33prpplagueT0mW: no its a 220 package
15:40.44T0mWwhy not surface mount it?
15:41.00T0mWor you hand wiring this?
15:41.08prpplagueT0mW: hehe, because the proto boards i get already come with it all
15:41.31prpplagueT0mW: yea hand wiring
15:42.24prpplagueT0mW: i use these - http://www.beldynsys.com/p500.htm
15:42.46*** join/#elinux cougarvt (n=antics@65-78-12-90.c3-0.ded-ubr1.sbo-ded.ma.cable.rcn.com)
15:42.47T0mWdepending on the heatsink, and the current draw, you should easily get up to 1.5 amps of power out of a TO-220 package.  Modest heatsink measuring about 3 inches of surface area should be ok at 12v input with 3v out at 0.5amp
15:43.33prpplagueT0mW: yea the wallworts i use are 7.5v
15:43.34T0mWit will be quite warm as you are disappating around 3watts of heat
15:44.32prpplagueT0mW: hmm, i've not noticed the 7805 being that hot
15:45.07T0mWprpplague: simple switchers like the national semi LM2575 are more efficient, less heat and only a couple of components extra: clamp diode (IN5822), choke (80uh), cap (220uf).
15:45.42T0mWprpplague: simple switcher should run about 80% efficiency, while a series regulator runs about 30% efficiency.
15:45.59T0mWprpplague: the other 20% / 70% is heat
15:46.07T0mWP = I * E
15:47.10T0mWwhere E is the voltage "dropped" across the regulator: e.g. 12v in 3v out, leaves 7v drop.  Thus: 1 amp @ 7v drop == 7Watts of heat to get rid of.
15:47.32T0mWprpplague: doh
15:47.48T0mWprpplague: 7watts * 70% == 4.9Watts
15:47.50T0mWof heat
15:48.18T0mWprpplague: with a switcher at the same conditions, you only have 1.4Watts to get rid of.
15:48.56T0mWseries regulators are "easy" but  they waste a lot of power as heat
15:48.57prpplagueT0mW: yea, but i'm running 7.5v in and i'm not running everything on 3.3v, most of the device is 5v
15:49.47prpplagueT0mW: and i'm only running at 500ma
15:50.14T0mWprpplague: just keep in mind the heat you need to dump, then goto someone like Thermalloy and get their catalog, the heat sink vendors have formulas you can use to see how much surface area of heatsink you need to dump X watts of heat
15:50.49T0mWprpplague: each style of heatsink is rated for a specific surface area
15:51.22T0mWprpplague: rather than guess if it is big enough, it is simple enough to calculate what you really need
15:51.47T0mWprpplague: just some info for you for reference
15:52.55prpplagueT0mW: thanks
15:53.02T0mWthe only real problem you run into with building your own switching supply is Ground Shift.  The Ground wiring must be beefy and short.
15:53.40T0mWotherwise you run the risk of it rocking or breaking into sympathetic oscillation
15:53.44prpplagueT0mW: doh, just realized that my proto boards come with a LM317 and LM337, so i can just use them
15:53.53T0mWprpplague: dummy
16:01.10T0mWhuh?
16:01.26T0mWInsight v6.4 runs both JTAG target in tandem
16:01.51T0mWwith v6.1 I used to have to control each target in the JTAG chain seperately.
16:03.24prpplagueInsight?
16:03.47T0mWyeah, gui front end for gdb + jtag
16:04.40prpplagueahh
16:04.51T0mWprpplague: what do you use?
16:06.31prpplagueT0mW: for jtag? i just write an app to do what i want
16:10.27T0mWoh cool!
16:11.01T0mWthe dual control option is settable. I was wondering if this new "feature" was intentional or not
16:12.13T0mWIt certainly does make things easier, I don't have to goto each instance of Insight on the desktop and tell each one to "run"

18:42.59mbufon arm920t, linux-2.6.12.3 on LN2410SBC, i get "Uncompressing Linux ... done, booting the kernel", and it stops, any ideas why? I should get Linux-2.6.12.3 ..... printed next
18:43.50T0mWmbuf: now the fun begins
18:44.14T0mWmbuf: I usually put a number of printk's scattered in strategic places
18:44.58T0mWmbuf: printk ("made it this far (1)"); ... printk ("even made it here (2)");
18:45.30mbufT0mW, decompress_kernel is called in arch/arm/boot/compressed/head.S and i don't know how far it goes and fails, no debugger here either, printk in .S ?
18:45.43mbuf*it goes further
18:46.31T0mWmbuf: printk will also let you print variable values.
18:46.32mbufor i should just do a b print_info and use printk
18:46.40T0mWmbuf: the problem could be anywhere, but look at the function that follows the head.S call into the first C code of the kernel.  start sprinkling printk's around in there
18:47.29T0mWmbuf: I did a lot of printk dumps to find problems while doing implementation of uClinux on M68EZ328 system of mine
18:47.38mbufT0mW, i see
18:47.56T0mWdiffernet times I had bss overlapped with romfs, etc.
18:55.30T0mWmbuf: For assembly files, I had written a serial putch() which would print "ABCDE". One letter at  a time for each "checkpoint" in the boot.  This way if it stalled on, say, "D", I would know where the D was printed...
18:55.59T0mWmbuf: helps to zero in on problem area

20:37.54CosmicPenguinbeeble: because AMD rules
20:38.20CosmicPenguinIf you need a mobile solution, then NX probably isn't your best bet
20:38.27beebleno its not mobile
20:38.36CosmicPenguinfor that level of power in a non-mobile solution, why wouldn't you go with the NX?
20:38.42CosmicPenguinIts an Athlon core.  Everybody loves Athlon
20:39.36beeblebtw, how crazy would you think i am if i want to use a au1550 as co processor for a nx? ;)
20:40.13CosmicPenguinto coprocess what?
20:41.17beebleat the end it should do everything ;) boot the nx, ipsec/ssl, (slow) flash support
20:45.39beeble<PROTECTED>
20:46.03CosmicPenguinReally sick
20:46.08CosmicPenguinwhy not just use the au1200?
20:46.13CosmicPenguinor 1550 rather
20:46.13CosmicPenguinsorry
20:46.18CosmicPenguinI've got the au1200 on my brain
20:46.35beeblethe customer wants to run x86 code
20:46.41CosmicPenguinheh
20:47.07CosmicPenguinThats a freaky design, but it means we'll sell two cores on the same platform?  :)
20:47.10CosmicPenguinSign me up!
20:47.15beebleso at the end it would be a a1550 design with a x86 as coprocesser :)
20:47.18beeblehehe
20:47.37CosmicPenguinHow would they talk?
20:47.43beebleyou count spansion still to amd? :)
20:47.45beeblepci
20:47.56CosmicPenguinwow
20:48.07CosmicPenguinNo, I don't count spansion as part of AMD.
20:49.12beeblepci should be enough because the main part for the au1550 would be a crypto nic
20:49.25beeble+to be
20:51.15beebleand yes, we like the alchemy, so we want it in every design! ;)
