09:01.37llangehi =)
09:05.17rob_w-cgihow is it going , llange
09:07.59llangefine. I made some progress with the Himalaya. Now the green led is ok. The red isn't (I don't even know if there is such a led on the Himalaya)
09:11.24rob_w-cginiec
09:11.29rob_w-cginice , i meant
09:19.43bhimaDo you have any theories on what state the BA is in when it is "asleep"? It seems to do some stuff over bluetooth, and now that I see how dyntick on the Nokia 770 works, I onder if they do something similar or not.
09:20.24bhimaThe 770 literally never sleeps the CPU.
09:20.29rob_w-cgii dont know dyntick , yet i dont know that the ba "does " something on bluetooth
09:21.05rob_w-cgiwell yet the ba is also not sleeping the cpu, but cp15 works on that , so we get better standby times
09:21.26rob_w-cgiwhy would you like the cpu to be alive on suspend ?
09:22.49bhimaIn the case of the 770, Nokia made dyntick work well enough that it wouldn't really have a noticable benefit if you shut the CPU off. And you don't have to worry about unloading drivers and stuff.
09:23.12rob_w-cgiso what the heck is "dyntick"
09:23.30bhimaI'm interested in making bluetooth operate all the time, so having the CPU operate is useful.
09:24.02rob_w-cgiok , so operate in what sense ?  to have headsets or what ?
09:24.23bhimakeep a headset connected, accept incoming OBEX pushes.
09:24.46bhimaIn my normal use patterns with a BA running linux, it would probably never really be off.
09:24.54rob_w-cgii only see a way to toggle the wake up via bluetooth
09:25.17bhimaI don't know that much about dyntick, but it basically lowers CPU power usage when the system isn't doing stuff. idle is low power.
09:25.36rob_w-cgiwhat cpu does 770 has ?
09:25.40bhimaThe 770 can do a week or so with a 1500 mAh under linux.
09:25.51bhimaOMAP something or other, 220MHz.
09:26.19bhimaWhen you close the lid, the display and wireless turn off, but the CPU doesn't change behaviour.
09:26.22rob_w-cgihmm that is different to the ba , yet i can imagine to have different kind of CPU sleeps in the ba hardware
09:27.09rob_w-cgii think what you want is a flawless wake up on a call and smooth reconnect to any know headset
09:27.44rob_w-cgibut there we only need the wake up on the arriving call , which we do already and then adjust the gpeimage to reconnect back in a proper time window
09:28.36bhimaBut wouldn't it be easier if you could just leave it on? :)
09:30.01rob_w-cgibut then it empty`s the battery
09:30.03bhimaKoen is the resident dutch kernel hacker on #maemo, and he says that dyntick and cpufreq are operating on the xscale. Using those may be enough to get the BA to have comparable battery life.
09:30.17rob_w-cgihmm
09:30.43bhimait woul be easier. if it results in the device sucking battery, that would be bad of course.
09:31.07rob_w-cgii can have some chats with koen, i know him
09:31.27bhimaBut IMHO, reducing the operating power usage would be a lot easier than special-casing wakeup stuff.
09:31.53rob_w-cgiyes and no i think
12:34.19magnethi
12:35.40rob_w-cgihi magnet
12:44.08magnetummm oe is strange.
12:44.25magnetit putted cross gcc in built/tmp/bin .
14:14.04rob_w-cgiand ?
14:38.01magnetthat just sound strange to me.

17:42.08ohoHello, is there a designated mailing list for the project ?
17:58.24pH5oho: blueangel? not that i know of.
18:01.35ohopH5: so how is the progress co-ordinated ? I looked at the wiki which is pretty good and upto date, so I presume that's the way they do it
18:12.19pH5oho: i guess. and have a look at the forums: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=20670&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=200
18:12.42ohothank you
18:13.21ohojust interesting to see that every project is doing it differently ;-)
18:15.44pH5that's true :)

20:41.16immolodamn it
20:41.28immolofam083 defaults to gcc4
20:45.02immolotime to switch it back to 3.4.4
20:47.45magnethi guys.
20:48.06magnetimmolo did you tried compiling xanadu-ba for  pxa27x ?
20:49.43immoloyes
20:50.00immoloit worked before I realised the ba is a pxa26x
20:50.26magnetI'm getting errors regarding the pxa27*.o
20:50.36immolowhen building?
20:50.38magnetyep
20:50.52magnetI tried to choose another cpu to test, it seems to work.
20:50.54immolohave you modified the machine config
20:51.08immolopxa27x is still in work progress
20:51.18magnetnot yet, I just wish to try to compile a kernel with oe.
20:51.33immolothe machine config bitbake uses
20:52.11magnetoh yea.
20:52.43magnetI putted 'blueangel'
20:54.18immoloand what directory are you building in
20:54.25pH5work in progress? the ipaq hx4700 is pxa270 based. and oe kernels compile just fine for this device.
20:54.40magnetin ~/files/oe/build/
20:54.57immolopH5-  err I'm thinking of the gpe hx4700 image :P
20:55.11magnetpH5: woot, so I should change my bitbake config ?
20:56.38pH5immolo: ok, i know that there are some bits missing (pxa27x_udc + gadgets), but there shouldn't be any compilation errors.
20:57.12magnetI'll use ipaq-pxa270 as machine so.
20:57.18immolopH5-  most of the stuff I read was on oe mailing lists so it could be old info
21:00.11pH5are there other pxa272 based devices besides the htc magician?
21:17.53magnetwhat is hx4700 kernel ?
21:18.07magnetpH5: none I know.
21:18.27pH5magnet: i don't understand
21:19.10magnetpH5: you told that oe's kernel compile fine for ipaq hx4700
21:19.28pH5ah. handhelds-pxa-2.6
21:19.53magnetthanks.
21:19.57pH52.6.12-hh3 is tested, i'm fighting with 2.6.13-hh1 atm, though.
21:20.06magnetI'll try to build it
21:20.55pH5but i'm quite sure that it won't run on the magician like this
21:21.23magnetwhich kernel should I so ? ba ?
21:24.54pH5magnet: i think we have to sit down and write our own code in arch/arm/mach-pxa/magician.
21:25.18magnethehe.
21:26.04pH5did you compare in the wiki if the gpios of magician and blueangel are set up similar?
21:26.17magnetnop.
21:26.24magnetI'll do it now
21:30.47magnetthey are different.
21:37.34pH5magnet: hm. do you have a good idea how to proceed?
21:37.42magnetno.
21:37.48magnetI'm very new to this.
21:38.46immoloif one of you are willing to tell me a bit about the magician I'll write a machine config up
21:39.05magnetimmolo: just ask me.
21:39.49immolocool, you will need to test for me though and the kernel will be based on the ba until someone makes a magician kernel
21:40.02pH5immolo: yeah, i'd really appreciate some help. i was planning to copy the hx4700 or hx2750 core file and start from there.
21:40.33magnetI'll test :)
21:41.09immolopH5-  well I'll write a quick config as it it will be simlar to the ba I first wrote when I thought it also had a pxa27x chip
21:41.24immoloyou can then edit as needed
21:41.28pH5immolo: that'd be great.
21:41.47pH5what do you need to know for starting?
21:41.58immolocool, well I'm just going to check my gpe-image is building then I will start
21:42.22immolonot sure yet give me a second
21:47.09immolopH5-  do you know how to force oe to use gcc3.4.4
21:47.53pH5immolo: actually, i'm using gcc3.4.4 without having changed anything (org.openembedded.dev branch)
21:48.07immoloI'm in the fam083 branch
21:49.13pH5familiar-0.8.3.conf contains PREFERRED_VERSION_gcc-cross ?= "3.4.4" here.
21:49.46immolowhich builds gcc4 for me
21:51.01pH5strange. and your DISTRO in local.conf is "familiar-0.8.3"?
21:52.24immoloyes
21:53.47pH5I'd ask on #oe (or if in a hurry, move the gcc4 .bb out of the way)
21:53.55immologood idea
21:55.58immolomoving did the job
21:56.09immoloI just dislike gcc4 very much
21:56.10pH5brute force :)
21:56.50immolook now to work on a magician config
21:58.41immolowhats the flash size of the magician
21:58.57immolototal flash not just what ce shows
21:59.41pH5that's a pxa272 with 64m integrated flash
22:17.09immolook cool
22:17.25immoloI had to check on the kid but I'm back now
22:25.56immolopH5-  can you accept dcc?
22:29.28pH5immolo: hmm... seems not to be the case. i accepted, but there's no data coming in. this is gaim 1.5.1
22:30.15immologot anywhere I can upload?
22:32.40pH5pastebin.ca?
22:34.32immolonot very good but

22:34.53cp15Good morning
22:34.59immoloevening
22:35.06pH5hi cp15
22:35.18cp15Hi everybody
22:35.35magnethi
22:37.41pH5immolo: thanks :)
22:38.16immoloshould get you started you just need to edit to make sure it fits you device better
22:38.18pH5cp15: when booting from haret, I don't need to set up the gpios, is that correct?
22:38.44cp15Correct, they should work as they are for the first tries
22:42.32magnetcan I do something to help ?
22:43.41immolocp15-  I found out a small problem that may of coursed some problems in the build
22:43.58immoloI had the distro linked to an old version :P
22:44.34cp15Old version of what?
22:44.45immoloof the fam083.conf
22:44.54immoloso it was using old software
22:45.13cp15Ah... And now you have fixed the error and everything works fine?
22:45.32immoloI have to rebuild to get everthing uptodate
22:46.04cp15Is in UK tomorrow also a holiday?
22:46.09immolohad a small issue that oe wanted to build with gcc4
22:46.10immolono
22:46.21immolowe only have mondays
22:47.07immolounless xmas and boxing day fall on a week day
22:47.37cp15Really? How many? In germany (and especially in bavaria) we have lot of holidays, some at fixed weekdays related to easter, some at fixed dates
22:47.43pH5magnet: as soon as i've got something that is compilable, i'll send it your way.
22:47.47pH5good night
22:47.51cp15Good night
22:47.55immolonight
22:48.02magnetnight.
22:48.10*** part/#htc-blueangel pH5 (n=ph5@e178211174.adsl.alicedsl.de)
22:48.19magnetI'd like to help in the dev,if I can.
22:48.32immolowe have bank hoilday mondays which are always around the same time
22:49.27cp15magnet: I am afraid there will be much work to do, since I don't expect the framebuffer to work at the first try
22:49.40immoloI think we have 10 of those a year but I never really counted
22:50.09cp1510 is fine, that might be even more than we have
22:50.32immoloI could be wrong though
22:50.44cp15In germany the number of holidays varies from year to year, since the fixed date ones might fall on weekend
22:51.04immoloah we change ours to be the following monday
22:51.57immoloeg if xmas was on a saturday we would have sat,sun and mon off
22:52.02immoloand maybe tues
22:52.50immoloand this year I get the first and second of janaury off :D
22:53.48immolobut I don't really pay attention I just like the time off
22:57.03cp15oho: Are you listening?
22:59.33cp15Doesn't look like
23:05.55immoloanyway I'm off to bed too
23:07.01cp15Good night
23:26.12cp15Time for bed for me too. Good night
