| 09:10.23 | Kmus | dead is probably closer to the truth :) |
| 11:04.34 | eFfeM_work | well sometimes Gaston|Home and I have a chat :-) |
| 11:04.51 | eFfeM_work | but if any of you have hawk issues feel free to drop them |
| 11:05.14 | eFfeM_work | it might take some time before you get answers though |
| 11:10.55 | kai | is still waiting for his board to ship |
| 11:11.04 | kai | questions certainly will come then |
| 11:14.00 | eFfeM_work | kai, hope you get it soon |
| 11:14.17 | kai | the store said something about mid-august |
| 11:14.39 | eFfeM_work | ah ok, guess it depends also on where you order |
| 11:14.41 | kai | which leaves me some time to ponder what hard-drive I want to get for that thing |
| 11:15.09 | kai | I want to use the hawkboard as a test node for a ceph-fs cluster |
| 11:15.10 | eFfeM_work | actually peeked at farnell.nl a few days ago, they list the hawk for eur 92 and the hawk-lite for eur 94 |
| 11:18.44 | kai | I think I paid 92.10 EUR, plus tax |
| 11:18.55 | kai | so pretty much the same |
| 11:19.23 | kai | afaik that store is the farnell dealer for germany |
| 11:20.16 | kai | so, out of curiosity, what's the hawk-lite's setup? |
| 11:20.24 | kai | I couldn't see specs on the website |
| 11:21.10 | eFfeM_work | i saw a listing somewjhere, guess it is on the mailing list, the lite does not have the sata connector |
| 11:21.23 | eFfeM_work | and I think there was one more thing missing, but not sure what |
| 11:21.38 | kai | and that makes it more expensive? :) |
| 11:22.14 | kai | anyway, good thing I'm getting the normal one, the sata connector (ok, and ethernet) was the reason why I got that board |
| 11:22.22 | eFfeM_work | when announced it was mentioned that it was cheaper |
| 11:22.23 | kai | otherwise I'd just use my beagles |
| 11:22.39 | eFfeM_work | prices at farnell are sometimes a mystery |
| 11:24.06 | eFfeM_work | kai: http://www.innovatesolutions.net/products/hawkboard-lite |
| 11:24.21 | eFfeM_work | usd 86 whereas the regular one is 94 |
| 11:25.17 | kai | ah |
| 11:25.28 | kai | got to create an account to see the datasheet, though.. |
| 11:25.31 | kai | silly buggers |
| 11:26.00 | kai | but from the picture I see VGA, serial, ethernet, audio, usb otg and usb host, I'd venture |
| 11:26.05 | eFfeM_work | it is witoout sata and without composite video in |
| 11:26.06 | eFfeM_work | http://groups.google.com/group/hawkboard/msg/f01039397f9abb99 |
| 11:30.09 | kai | I see |
| 11:30.37 | kai | anyway, the sata port would be worth usd 8 to me :) |
| 11:30.56 | kai | couldn't care less about video, but whatever :) |
| 11:31.59 | eFfeM_work | yeah, i used sata too a while ago |
| 11:33.31 | kai | I'm giving a talk about embedded private cloud storage in september, this looks like a good system to test with :) |
| 11:34.53 | *** join/#hawkboard khasim (~a0393720@192.163.20.231) |
| 11:44.11 | eFfeM_work | kai, an alternative (and popular for cloud things) is sheevaplug (guess you know that one) |
| 11:45.04 | kai | yeah, the second psu for mine blew yesterday |
| 11:45.05 | eFfeM_work | not that I want to push you away from hawk, it is a nice board too |
| 11:45.23 | kai | I'm not getting more of those before giving some other company a chance |
| 11:46.49 | kai | also, in an appartment that's notoriously short of wall power outlets, a wall wart isn't necessarily the best choice :) |
| 11:52.10 | eFfeM_work | nope (but hawk also needs to get some juice from somewhere) |
| 13:10.12 | *** join/#hawkboard cmurillo (~cmurillo@186.4.15.155) |
| 13:45.59 | kai | eFfeM_work: yeah, but on a standard power brick, I can fit more 5V adapters than I can fit sheevas |
| 13:46.22 | kai | that said, I was running my sheva with a power cord :) |

| 17:35.04 | Gaston|Home | Hi guys |
| 17:35.50 | Gaston|Home | eFfeM: , did you notice that the new Codec Engine is built and optimized for fixed point only |
| 17:36.07 | Gaston|Home | that goes for all L137 and L138 |
| 17:36.37 | Gaston|Home | Gets me all excited and angry, dunno why though |
| 17:37.26 | Gaston|Home | and to add on top in their wisdom they changed from compiling the Codec Engine to binaries to promote development (LOL) |
| 17:38.12 | Gaston|Home | So now everyone has to guess on how to reproduce the steps instead of just looking at OE recipes |
| 17:38.34 | Gaston|Home | crawls back under his stone |
| 17:41.01 | eFfeM | Gaston|Home: hadn't noticed that, actually my hawk is somewhat enjoying a summer sleep, it hasn't been powered on for a few weeks |
| 17:42.49 | Gaston|Home | same here, I just follow developments on various lists and repos |
| 17:44.09 | Gaston|Home | I guess if one only knows how to, one can always check out recipes from late may/ early june and take a peek |
| 17:45.23 | Gaston|Home | but it seems very odd to to have a codec angine for a floating point dsp optimized for fixed point, but its mybe only a mistake |
