06:48.05surjyaHi geeks
06:48.26surjyaI am planning to desing a GUI for a hand-held device
06:48.50surjyaCan any body suggest any tool available for it?
06:48.58surjyaIts on atom platform and linux OS
06:52.03HcEQt
06:54.33surjyaCan you giv me some idea how i should proceed using Qt? the platform will be newly developed and after putting the kernel how I can start developing GUI for that? It will be an touchscreen GUI

15:51.42Xeli<PROTECTED>
15:53.43mnemocthat usually means a .h is missing
15:54.10mnemoccheck the rest of the out
15:54.14mnemocput
15:54.36Xeliwell the thing is, there' s only one 'main'  .h file
15:55.25Xelimnemoc: and no other error's except for redefining GNU_SOURCE, the target system is android so i guess that' s where the warning comes from.
15:56.02mnemoccheck what token is that that location and find who should define it
15:56.58mnemocit smells like a missing typedef... but you have to check that line to see :)
15:57.56Xelibut would that also explain why on one system it does compile and on the other it gives me these errors?
15:58.34mnemocit's preferly probable if you used different libc configs for example
15:58.37mnemocerr
15:58.43mnemocs/preferly/pretty/
15:59.22Xelihmm yeah that is the case, android has a ligthweight libc
15:59.35mnemocyou are most probably missing a .h
15:59.49mnemocwhich in one libc you get it by sideeffect, but in the oter you don't
16:00.03Xeliso should i give the .c file it's own header file then ?
16:00.14mnemocno
16:00.34mnemocyou have to see in the .c what symbol is producing the error
16:00.47mnemocfind who exports it
16:01.05mnemocand add the missing include in the .c or in a common .h, depending on how the app is programmed
16:01.57Xelii think i know what you mean.. ;) Thanks alot ill have a look at that
16:02.05mnemoc"programmed" is probably the wrong verb :-\

19:51.48ccoleHow can I make a Linux device driver send an interrupt signal to a process in user space?
19:52.03ccoleIs this task as easy as it sounds?
19:56.58MonMothathat's what epoll/select is for, basically

20:12.21*** join/#elinux Dr_Who (n=tgall@gentoo/developer/dr-who)
20:27.11ccoleMonMotha: Thank you, /me looks up epoll, select..  
20:27.37ccoleMonMotha: My prorgam currently polls /proc/file , but I want instead the driver to tell my program when /proc/file has data.
20:28.04mnemocwhy are you using /proc for that?
20:28.56mnemocyuck
20:29.19MonMothayeah, you should probably be using /sys or /dev, as appropriate
20:29.54MonMotha<PROTECTED>
20:29.55ccoleMonMotha: I hear ya, I want to move this driver to use /dev.  Its a ptp driver
20:30.39ccoleMonMotha: The PHY chip throws an interrupt, kernel phy driver responds, reads the packet Rx timestamp from the phy, puts it in a queue for userspace to consume
20:31.17MonMothaccole: is there no way to tag the packet in the network layer with that data?
20:31.29MonMothathat seems to be where such data belongs
20:31.33ccoleMonMotha: I am using ptpd from sourceforge, and it reads in these PTP packet recive timestamps from /proc/ptpd/rxts, as they come in...
20:32.27ccoleMonMotha: yes, some PHYs can add the rx time to the end of the packet, or any offset you configure within ingres pkts.. however, were switching to a phy that can't do that :~(
20:33.18ccoleMonMotha: The old phy that can mod ingres pkts in the fly is only 100Mb phy, the new phy we're moving to is 1Gb phy, but cannot to the packet mod on the fly, and I must therefore harvest the Rx timestamps from its PHY regs
20:33.49ccoleMonMotha: Or are you saying that I can perhaps attache that rx timestamp data in the ethernet driver?
20:34.02ccoleMonMotha: That's a great idea..
20:34.03MonMotharight
20:34.20MonMothalet that ISR tag the received packet with the timestamp as metadata
