  • [11:29:43] <koen> http://cairographics.org/ is ikiwiki based

  • [11:31:01] <cian> on another note has anyone used the USB Gadget mode with Mac OS X?
  • [11:31:11] <koen> I did for other devices
  • [11:31:15] <cian> I had to install a 3rd party driver to get RNDIS to work
  • [11:31:21] <koen> but either osx or ajzaurus is broken
  • [11:31:26] <cian> exactly
  • [11:31:26] * koen is up to en31 now
  • [11:31:51] <cian> I got the beagle talking to ajzaurus, but only when using a usb port directly on the machine
  • [11:32:04] <cian> because it was generating so many broken packets that it would break my hub
  • [11:33:17] <koen> I only used rndis with linux on the beagle
  • [11:33:18] <cian> Without ajzaurus, mac os x turns the beagle into a serial port
  • [11:33:22] <cian> which isn't particularly helpful
  • [11:33:24] <koen> heh
  • [11:33:29] * Thanatos (n=rwvens@p578FEDE1.dip.t-dialin.net) has joined #beagle
  • [11:34:12] <cian> I've got plenty of linux machines at home, but only mac os x & windows at work
  • [11:34:30] <cian> so at the moment I'm doing RNDIS with a Win XP machine
  • [11:34:51] <cian> I'm going to look into making the Beagle present itself as a purely CDC Ethernet device.
  • [11:35:05] <Thanatos> question about the Beagle, is there some way to supplement its graphical capabilities with a hardware accelerator?
  • [11:35:13] <koen> iirc you still need ajzaurus for that
  • [11:35:30] <koen> Thanatos: there's a powervr chip on board
  • [11:35:37] <Thanatos> eh?
  • [11:35:57] <koen> Thanatos: your only other option is using usb to extend it, which I don't think would gain you much
  • [11:36:14] <Thanatos> hmm
  • [11:36:54] <Thanatos> I just need it to make Q3 look decently pretty, its not like it has to run Crysis or anything
  • [11:37:00] <Thanatos> would USB gain me that?
  • [11:37:04] <koen> no
  • [11:37:14] <Thanatos> ouch
  • [11:37:31] <koen> I suspect you could run quake3 nicely when the powervr drivers go public
  • [11:37:49] <Thanatos> whats the timeframe for that?
  • [11:37:55] <koen> (it's openglES, though, so you might need to recode parts of it)
  • [11:38:07] <koen> (or hope imgtec writes a glx driver for x)
  • [11:38:21] <Thanatos> i assume that I should hope so as well
  • [11:38:31] <cian> koen: http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/MacOS_X#USB_Networking

  • [12:00:54] <koen> I read that the ARM conference in november is going to focus on cortex-a9
  • [12:01:18] <koen> can't some ARM engineers be coaxed into enhancing (and publishing!) your work?
  • [12:01:59] <mru> it would/will be interesting to how cortex-a9 performs
  • [12:02:33] <mru> the memory subsystem is supposed to be more efficient
  • [12:03:26] <mru> in the meantime, I'd settle for an a8 r1p2...
  • [12:04:49] <koen> I wonder how the cortex-a9 MPquadcore performs
  • [12:05:00] <koen> that has 1 vfp and 1 neon per core
  • [12:05:17] * mru wants one!!!
  • [12:08:02] <koen> it's supposed to clock at 1GHz as well :)
  • [12:08:51] <mru> now there's your atom-smasher

  • [12:21:48] <mru> the svn mirror is updated automatically with an email trigger
  • [12:23:51] <mru> the good thing about git is that it doesn't tell you how to do things

  • [12:26:58] <mru> I'll take that over being forced to do things the wrong way anytime
  • [12:27:07] <koen> yeah
  • [12:27:10] <mru> pray that you never have to use clearcase
  • [12:30:38] * koen spent 2 months on a project that turned out to be caused by Visual Source Safe messing up
  • [12:30:51] <mru> I've never had that "pleasure"
  • [12:31:22] <koen> i.e. the bug had already been fixed, but my boss didn't know of it since vss decided to ignore it
  • [12:31:41] <mru> splendid
  • [12:33:26] <koen> once the bugs was fixed we noticed that the reference code from the 'manufacturer' was buggy as hell
  • [12:33:45] <mru> always is
  • [12:33:48] <koen> so anyone using data from that weather satelite got wrong coords
  • [12:34:14] <mru> I've fixed many bugs in broadcom reference code

  • [12:38:13] <koen> or rather, what lots of quicktime movies uses
  • [12:38:16] <mru> youtube uses flv and h264

  • [12:38:28] * koen still confuses codecs and containers a lot
  • [12:38:29] <mru> recent quicktime is all h264
  • [12:38:43] <mru> svq3 (sorenson) used to be common
  • [12:39:03] <mru> the decoder shares a lot of code with h264
  • [12:39:13] <mru> so it gets optimised for free to some extent
  • [12:39:19] * dirk2 (n=dirk@F303f.f.strato-dslnet.de) has joined #beagle
  • [12:39:36] <suihkulokki> flv is sorenson I think?

  • [12:40:04] <mru> adobe
  • [12:40:30] <suihkulokki> h264 on flash is very recent, before that they pimped vp6 as "the future"
  • [12:40:43] <mru> yes, but it never got much takeup
  • [12:40:51] <mru> it wasn't long before h264 got supported
  • [12:41:50] <koen> mru: does ffmpeg have colourspace conversion functions?
  • [12:42:17] <mru> yes, two sets in fact
  • [12:43:03] <mru> and yes, I "someone" should add neon optimisations
  • [12:43:18] <mru> but the code is a bit messy
  • [13:02:22] * koen should merge the NEON stuff to mythtv again
  • [13:02:50] <koen> and find out why fullscreen video doesn't *$(@*$(@ work

  • [13:38:51] <janneg> trunk
  • [13:39:08] <mru> jkridner: what's the next event in europe?
  • [13:39:47] <jkridner> good question. I don't think there is another one for us this year.
  • [13:40:11] <jkridner> ESC, MV Vision, and ARM DevCon are the only ones I'm planning to be at.
  • [13:40:30] <mru> wrong side of the pond for me
  • [13:40:36] <jkridner> do we need to chat with RogerMonk to see if he's going to any?
  • [13:40:53] <jkridner> I take it that the LRL UK experience was a good one?
  • [13:41:18] <mru> yes, there was a lot of interest in the board
  • [13:41:36] <koen> jkridner: ELC-E is coming up in november
  • [13:41:54] <koen> jkridner: http://www.embeddedlinuxconference.com/elc_europe08/
  • [13:42:09] <mru> why are all the interesting events always in the US?
  • [13:43:19] <jkridner> I wouldn't say that there are that many interesting ones in the US, but it is easier for us Texas folk to make it to them.
  • [13:44:08] <jkridner> MV Vision and ARM DevCon are highlights due to partnerships.
  • [13:44:10] <mru> well, most of the european ones are just a smaller version of the "real thing" in the US
  • [13:44:39] <jkridner> which is odd, since Europe has a bit stronger OSS community, from what I've been seeing.
  • [13:45:12] <jkridner> I think it is somewhat the commercialization aspect.
  • [13:45:34] <jkridner> I think the US has the lead with companies commercializing OSS.
  • [13:45:40] <koen> jkridner: ELC 2007 was interesting in that regard
  • [13:46:12] <koen> jkridner: CELF spent lots of money to get asian developers to santa clare to showcase their stuff
  • [13:46:16] <jkridner> mostly enterprise stuff. That seems to be where the money is coming from for OSS development.
  • [13:46:39] * mru is allergic to the word "enterprise"
  • [13:46:53] <koen> "carrier grade"

  • [13:50:10] <jkridner> what is the most critical issue today, since I've been out of loop?
  • [13:50:21] <keesj> that would be great.
  • [13:50:22] <jkridner> seems like Paul and Khasim did some good work on the serial hang.
  • [13:50:50] <jkridner> keesj: I'm not forgetting you! Just staying busy.
  • [13:51:11] <koen> jkridner: beagle doesn't use the MPU timer anymore, but one that does let you go into retention
  • [13:51:32] <jkridner> back to the 32kHz timer now with a fixed interrupt handler, right?

  • [15:04:13] <Crofton|work> and search ebay for a logic analyzer
  • [15:05:21] <jkridner> anyone know the process for using Mail.app to create an mbox archive? I'm trying to create an archive for gmane.
  • [15:05:49] <jkridner> Crofton|work: I think you'd be more interested in the SDIO mode.
  • [15:06:03] <Crofton|work> this is what I need to fuigure out :)

  • [15:11:28] <Crofton> jkridner, I'm going to work on a project page later today
  • [15:11:56] <sakoman> Crofton: are you getting into the hw business? :-)
  • [15:11:57] <jkridner> well, since it is there....
  • [15:12:01] <Crofton> but first, I am going to ride the bike for a while
  • [15:12:09] <Crofton> sakoman, first we need a design
  • [15:12:19] <Crofton> then we figure out what to do
  • [15:12:20] <jkridner> I hate to have a disorganized gmane.
  • [15:12:27] <Crofton> jkridner, agreed
  • [15:12:34] <Crofton> I can give you the email of the guy
  • [15:12:38] <sakoman> Crofton: SDR addon?
  • [15:12:43] <Crofton> I'm not sure how easy it is to move stuff
  • [15:12:46] <Crofton> yeah
  • [15:12:55] <Crofton> real sdr
  • [15:13:01] <Crofton> not press release quality
  • [15:13:07] <sakoman> What is the hw's "native" interface?
  • [15:13:08] <Crofton> not via usb
  • [15:13:17] <Crofton> hw is an fpga
  • [15:13:26] <Crofton> we cannect pins to expansion connector
  • [15:13:29] <jkridner> the main mailing list failed in setup due to me not having the subscribe/unsubscribe addresses where gmane expected. I am about to post a URL with the mbox history.
  • [15:14:17] <Crofton> basically the FPGA sits between data convertors and the expansion connector
  • [15:14:29] <Crofton> the fpga does all the control and some signal processing
  • [15:14:45] <Crofton> basically reducing the data rate to the point the beagle can handle it

  • [16:23:59] <jkridner> hmmm.... trying to answer a fairly simple question on the mailing list about how to switch to PAL. I can't seem to find where arch/arm/mach-omap2/display.c went.
  • [16:37:48] <sakoman> jkridner: it doesn't exist in linux-omap git
  • [16:38:15] <sakoman> all video drivers are in drivers/video/omap:

  • [16:45:38] <mru> who cares about pal, when there's hdmi available?
  • [16:50:29] <jkridner> sakoman: I don't see the S-Video output in there. is it not in the git?
  • [16:50:43] <jkridner> PAL/NTSC are very valuable in regions that do not have DVI-D monitors.
  • [16:50:57] <jkridner> er, affordable DVI-D monitors.
  • [16:52:00] <jkridner> not sure if this is NTSC or PAL: http://franciscoalecrim.com/blog/2008/07/29/mamona-working-with-beagleboard/

  • [17:14:05] <cian> just curious, what is the thinking behind not giving the beagle Ethernet?
  • [17:14:31] <cian> I think it could be kinda handy to be able to do ethernet without using a USB adapter...
  • [17:16:10] <mru> cian: I think it's a cost issue mostly
  • [17:16:13] <mru> and board space
  • [17:16:29] <mru> do you see room for an rj45 connector anywhere?
  • [17:16:36] <cian> ok, I hadn't realised that an ethernet PHY was that expensive
  • [17:16:46] <mru> it's not *that* expensive
  • [17:16:52] <mru> but something is more than nothing
  • [17:17:01] <cian> mru: maybe would could add a 4th dimension to the board?
  • [17:17:09] <mru> you also have to fit it on the board
  • [17:17:30] <cian> Ok, that answers my question alright
  • [17:17:52] <cian> for the hell of it my might try to connect something to the expansion connector
  • [17:17:52] <mru> you'd need a phy and a line transformer, iirc
  • [17:18:09] <cian> yes, I guess it's probably not needed for most environments
  • [17:18:19] <cian> was just thinking it would be cool to be able to net boot
  • [17:18:44] <mru> you can net boot with usb ethernet
  • [17:18:53] <mru> or usb gadget ethernet
  • [17:18:56] <cian> oh, ok, I hadn't realised that
  • [17:19:19] <cian> Clearly I'm trying to solve a problem that doesn't exist
  • [17:19:33] <mru> a lot of people do that
  • [17:21:17] <cian> oh well, it just somehow feels slightly cumbersome using a USB to ethernet adapter
  • [17:25:44] <Crofton> cian, buy an omap 3 evm :)
  • [17:26:10] <Crofton> the beagle is very much a compromise design
  • [17:26:20] <Crofton> to get the cost reasonable for hobbyists
  • [17:26:53] <cian> Yes, the cost of the beagle is phenomenally low
  • [17:27:03] <cian> I could easily imagine another 0 on the end
  • [17:29:27] <cian> just reading through the HRM, is there a plan to up the memory of the Beagle to 1GB in the future?
  • [17:29:47] <cian> (the SDRAM that is)
  • [17:31:26] <mru> there are currently no chips available
  • [17:31:42] <mru> I assume this will change with time
  • [17:32:53] <koen> there is supposedly a 256MB ddr PoP coming onto the market soom
  • [17:33:04] <koen> but it's not on the micron site yet
  • [17:33:26] <mru> I'd be happy with more ram and less flash
  • [17:33:33] <mru> a few MB of flash would be fine
  • [17:34:24] <cian> yes, you don't really need much flash unless you're doing ramdisks or something
  • [17:34:43] <cian> Just curious as to the meaning of the "2Gb NAND (256MB) 1Gb MDDR SDRAM (128MB) " line in the HRM
  • [17:34:44] <mru> I keep my filesystem on SD
  • [17:34:49] <cian> same here
  • [17:35:11] <mru> 256 MB is rather small compared to SD cards available
  • [17:35:47] <cian> though I guess some people might like to go down the same route as openwrt and use a jffs2 fs on flash so that the SD card can be removed and the system stays running
  • [17:36:27] <mru> a second SD slot would solve that problem
  • [17:36:35] <mru> the chip supports it
  • [17:37:01] <cian> yes, I've just built up a board that gives me some micro SD slots on an expansion card
  • [17:37:23] <cian> microSD would cut down on size...
  • [17:37:38] <cian> and you can still get pretty huge & fast microSD cards

  • [18:00:15] <mru> hi
  • [18:00:39] <evillus> fast question. can the beagle board run an amiga emulator at full speed ?
  • [18:01:03] <mru> I don't know if anyone has tried
  • [18:01:07] <mru> but my guess would be yes
  • [18:01:12] <mru> what kind of amiga?
  • [18:01:19] <evillus> so if I got it right, this runs linux
  • [18:01:21] <evillus> well
  • [18:01:27] <evillus> A500 would be enough yes :)
  • [18:01:31] <mru> no problem

  • [18:02:04] * Olipro__ is now known as Olipro
  • [18:02:08] <evillus> so the plan would be... get linux up on that thing
  • [18:02:13] <evillus> then run an emu
  • [18:02:20] <mru> linux is well supported
  • [18:02:29] <mru> so that would be the safe choice
  • [18:02:32] <evillus> great
  • [18:02:40] <mru> unless you enjoy porting operating systems
  • [18:02:48] <evillus> I'm passing that hehe
  • [18:02:59] <mru> OS hacking can be good fun
  • [18:03:11] <evillus> and time consuming :D
  • [18:04:04] <mru> if you're paid for it, does it matter?
  • [18:04:28] <evillus> well problem is time actually hehe
  • [18:04:50] <evillus> anyways, this is looking good
  • [18:05:15] <mru> I spend 7.5 hours a day in an office. if some of that time goes to OS hacking, it's a good day
