  • [10:01:18] <koen> my screen doesn't to that resolutions, so I have no way of checking if it actually works
  • [10:02:32] <khasim> Actually it is not just the pixel clock you need to push the DSS functional clock to process the data at that rate
  • [10:02:50] <khasim> and more over if your Framebuffer is in DDR then you DDR access is at 166Mhz
  • [10:03:18] <khasim> so you might hit an FIFO underfull error
  • [10:04:38] <ali_as> Are those details in the TI documents/Could you point me to a page number please?
  • [10:05:32] <ali_as> I've been sturggling to find anything I want to know in the ti docs, like gpio toggle rates. The gpio doc doesn't seem to contain any timing information at all, just debounce for key input.

  • [12:21:20] <jkridner> I'm wondering why glibc is the only dependency worth the promotion to a subfolder. I suppose people maintain parallel build states with uclibc.

  • [12:23:55] <jkridner> ah.
  • [12:24:35] <jkridner> looks like the default is not to expand the tarball.

  • [14:51:32] <sakoman> It does 4 writes to 4030 registers associated with vpll1 & vppl2
  • [14:51:47] <jkridner> k.
  • [14:52:08] <sakoman> what are vpll1 & 2 used for? are they associated with audio?
  • [14:52:19] <suihkulokki> is it possible to use the u-boot usb gadget serial console on beagle?
  • [14:53:48] <jkridner> did you pull up section 8.5 of the HW ref manual?
  • [14:54:09] <sakoman> jkridner: ok, I will
  • [14:54:18] <sakoman> Beagle hw ref manual?
  • [14:54:20] <jkridner> suihkulokki: the usb code has not been put into u-boot yet.
  • [14:54:24] <jkridner> sakoman: yes.
  • [14:54:40] <jkridner> suihkulokki: but, it should certainly be possible.
  • [14:57:37] <suihkulokki> great
  • [14:57:49] <sakoman> jkridner: rtfm :-) thanks
  • [14:57:57] <jkridner> sakoman: it looks to me like vpll1 and vpll2 are both used for the OMAP PLL...
  • [14:58:07] <jkridner> I don't see how they affect the audio.
  • [14:58:27] <sakoman> t tracking down all possible leads :-)
  • [14:59:15] <jkridner> k. seems like they are important for DVI-D output. I'm not sure why VPLL1 would be adjusted at run-time.
  • [15:00:10] <sakoman> me either -- I was trying to understand what the reason was for those writes to be there
  • [15:00:44] <sakoman> they aren't there in my git u-boot and it doesn't seem to have any adverse affect
  • [15:01:24] <jkridner> ah. makes sense. they should have been setup at reset. Might be necessary to up the voltage on VPLL2 for DVI-D output.
  • [15:01:47] <esteveespuna> hi, maybe someone can help me... I am having a look at the video driver from the mvista git kernel, I am trying to get a decent pixelclock. But I get this: Clock dss1_alwon_fck didn't enable in 100000 tries
  • [15:01:47] <esteveespuna> omapfb: Pixclock 39272 kHz hfreq 32.5 kHz vfreq 42.6 Hz
  • [15:01:56] <esteveespuna> any ideas ?
  • [15:02:51] <sakoman> jkridner: I'll add that to my todo list
  • [15:03:08] <ali_as> koen has bene playing with a screen mode of 1600x1200 and getting an unexpectedly low pixelclock also.
  • [15:03:16] <jkridner> we've been trying to figure out something similar here, where the pixel clock was set to 65MHz, but came out lower.
  • [15:04:37] <sakoman> jkridner: IIRC the omap fb driver takes the Mhz value and does some math on it to convert it to picoseconds. perhaps there is a bug in that code?
  • [15:05:34] <esteveespuna> sakoman: you mean at calc_ck_div ?
  • [15:05:56] <esteveespuna> this is only to set DISPC_DIVISOR i guess...
  • [15:06:04] <sakoman> sorry, don't recall
  • [15:06:28] <sakoman> just remember seeing that section of the code

  • [15:42:51] <Crofton> what is your background
  • [15:43:25] <hagisbasheruk> Ham radio , tv/hifi/video servicing
  • [15:43:48] <Crofton> Have you looked into gnu radio at all?
  • [15:43:51] <hagisbasheruk> been a while since i done tv stuff
  • [15:44:17] <hagisbasheruk> Nope , will look into it
  • [15:44:45] <hagisbasheruk> Got a softrock40 kit last year and never got round to doing it :)
  • [15:44:46] <Crofton> basically, there is lots of ham stuff that uses the PC now
  • [15:44:58] <Crofton> but, it should have a chance of working on the beagle
  • [15:45:56] * koen used the ham stuff on his pizza last night
  • [15:45:56] <Crofton> I'm finishing up some stuff today
  • [15:46:10] <hagisbasheruk> nice
  • [15:47:12] <hagisbasheruk> programming ?
  • [15:47:34] <hagisbasheruk> hi koen
  • [15:48:10] <esteveespuna> any idea of where the rate of dss1_fck is programmed ?

  • [15:52:31] <koen> jkridner: http://www.fudzilla.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=7782&Itemid=1
  • [15:52:47] <koen> jkridner: I'm pretty sure the omap3 can decode 720p :)
  • [15:53:57] <hagisbasheruk> The USRP is US$700 crofton , ouch ,softrock is about $20
  • [15:54:16] <Crofton> so the softrock is an easier starting place
  • [15:54:18] <BThompson> but to do 720p you would need the dsp accelleration
  • [15:54:23] <esteveespuna> The C64X of the OMAP can for sure do 720p
  • [15:54:24] <Crofton> at least for ham app's :)
  • [15:55:13] <Crofton> do they have linux apps for the softrock yet?
  • [15:55:22] <hagisbasheruk> well i guess you could always modify to suit your desired frequency
  • [15:55:26] <Crofton> bbl
  • [15:55:28] <Crofton> yeah
  • [15:55:38] <Crofton> but that is tricky, dpending on your background

  • [17:29:05] <koen> sakoman: you mean copying the u-boot and/or .22 code?
  • [17:29:56] <sakoman> koen: no, I mean the mcbsp code in omap git
  • [17:30:04] <sakoman> my driver needs to work with that
  • [17:31:12] <koen> ah, right you can't really copy code since the drivers are so different...
  • [17:31:18] <sakoman> hagisbasheruk_: no it isn't enough :-) I have all the docs I need though
  • [17:31:34] <sakoman> koen: yeah, nothing even remotely close!
  • [17:32:07] <sakoman> I'm learning a lot though :-)
  • [17:32:10] <hagisbasheruk_> i would be most interested in any to do with the sound also
  • [17:32:19] <koen> sakoman: I like the way the smartreflex code was added: patch 1 is TI code dump, further patches are cleanup and porting
  • [17:32:53] <koen> (although it does mean there is a revision with 'broken' code)
  • [17:33:17] <dirk3> koen: with uboot we currently try similiar
  • [17:34:01] <sakoman> having the docs is only part of the solution though. the other is figuring out where in the 3300 page doc or the 920 page doc I ought to be looking :-)
  • [17:34:05] <koen> speaking of u-boot: is there a way to include an autoscript in a kernel uImage?
  • [17:34:39] <ali_as> hagisbasheruk_, searches on the twl4030 resist easy interpretation.
  • [17:35:23] <koen> sakoman: I finally solved my newton rings issue when scanning: a card board spacer with a 6x6cm hole cut into it
  • [17:35:43] <sakoman> high tech!
  • [17:35:53] <koen> although I suspect that technique won't work on 8x10" negs
  • [17:36:05] <sakoman> no, I doubt it!
  • [17:37:19] <mru> hi guys
  • [17:37:41] <mru> I vaguely recall someone here mentioning running the beagle with nfs root
  • [17:38:02] <koen> problably over g_ether
  • [17:38:22] <koen> I decided it was too much work, an SD card is just sooooo much easier
  • [17:38:37] <mru> yes and no
  • [17:38:42] <mru> it's easier to set up once
  • [17:38:45] <mru> harder to maintain
  • [17:38:47] <hagisbasheruk_> mmm.... onboard sound is no good for my project , i'll need to get a 24bit usb one :( damn
  • [17:38:47] <koen> you can mount an nfs share later on :)
  • [17:39:23] <mru> true
  • [17:39:33] <koen> mru: with 'harder to maintain' you mean 'harder to develop on', right?
  • [17:39:40] <ali_as> What's your project hagis?
  • [17:40:12] <mru> koen: it inevitably involves keeping the sd card and a tree on disk in sync
  • [17:40:16] <ali_as> I'm going through a shopping list of uses, and one was an SD recorder.
  • [17:40:16] <hagisbasheruk_> will be hopefully a Software Defined Radio
  • [17:40:30] <koen> mru: that's what package managers are for :)
  • [17:40:59] <mru> I still prefer builing the filesystem on disk first
  • [17:41:08] <ali_as> How were you planning to get the RF out?
  • [17:41:43] <mru> koen: and yes, I am using a package manager
  • [17:42:36] <hagisbasheruk_> RF out as in http://www.amqrp.org/kits/softrock40/ ali_as
  • [17:43:45] <hagisbasheruk_> software for linux http://ewpereira.info/sdr-shell/
  • [17:46:45] <koen> hmmm, seems my usual 'TV time' is non-existant the next few weeks
  • [17:46:51] <hagisbasheruk_> seems crofton plans a similar project ali_as
  • [17:47:03] <koen> all my usual shows are canceled because of that stoopid soccer thiny
  • [17:47:18] <hagisbasheruk_> its Football :P
  • [17:47:27] <koen> no, it's stoopid
  • [17:47:32] <ali_as> A software defined rx, I'm at a loss as to what it does.
  • [17:47:34] <hagisbasheruk_> i agree
  • [17:48:57] <hagisbasheruk_> i guess you would be unless you know a bit about how radio works
  • [17:49:56] <ali_as> I and Q are something like QPSK?
  • [17:51:03] <hagisbasheruk_> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software-defined_radio
  • [17:51:26] <hagisbasheruk_> isn't that some data mode ?
  • [17:54:28] <hagisbasheruk_> you know about flip flops ? and not the ones you put on your feet , the digital type
  • [17:55:02] <ali_as> Yes and yes.
  • [17:55:59] <hagisbasheruk_> well :) you should know :P , this is Quaedrature Phase Shifting
  • [17:57:18] <hagisbasheruk_> brb , need coffee n ciggie
  • [17:57:36] <ali_as> I don't understand what exists at 7MHz. Is this after the tuner stage of a satellite signal?
  • [17:58:25] <hagisbasheruk_> Ham Radio / Amature Radio , mostly SSB signals .....now coffee 4 me
  • [17:59:05] <Crofton|work> hagisbasheruk_, why do you need 24 bits?
  • [18:04:36] <hagisbasheruk_> for wider frequency bandwith Crofton|work
  • [18:04:48] <hagisbasheruk_> Coffee , thats better
  • [18:05:13] <Crofton> the bits don't impact bandwidth, just dynamic range
  • [18:05:25] <Crofton> agc should (hopefully) solve dynamic riange
  • [18:05:36] <Crofton> bandwidth is set by sample rate
  • [18:05:48] <ali_as> Do you happen to know the digitising specs of the beagle Crofton?
  • [18:05:59] <Crofton|work> on the sound card?
  • [18:06:06] <Crofton|work> not of the top of my head
  • [18:06:09] <hagisbasheruk_> yes but most 16bit cards are only 48Khz whereas most 24bit ones are 96Khz
  • [18:06:14] <ali_as> Umm, card?
  • [18:06:16] <Crofton|work> I would assume at least 12 bits at 48 kHz
  • [18:06:22] <Crofton|work> ok
  • [18:06:24] * dschaeffer (n=daniel@timesys-gw0.cust.expedient.net) has left #beagle
  • [18:06:25] <Crofton|work> that I can belive
  • [18:06:49] <Crofton|work> for amateur modes, 48 is plenty fast, unless you want to do multi-carrier
  • [18:07:25] <jkridner> Beagle is 16 bits stereo 48kHz.
  • [18:07:38] <ali_as> Thanks Jason.
  • [18:08:42] <hagisbasheruk_> that will do for now though i want to have a larger bandwidth of frequencies
  • [18:09:34] <koen> 24kHz is enough for everyone!
  • [18:09:43] <koen> </640kiB reference>
  • [18:10:11] <hagisbasheruk_> :P not me :P
  • [18:10:17] <ali_as> Unless you want to have a conversation with a bat.
  • [18:12:46] <ali_as> I do quite like the idea of a software defined radio that can handle 8MHz.
  • [18:13:02] <ali_as> Test out different modulation systems for satellite and such.
  • [18:13:31] <NishanthM> twl4030 can do 24 bit if i recollect
  • [18:13:39] <NishanthM> dunno if there is driver support for it
  • [18:13:41] * koen hates when marketing people confuse samplerate and bw on purpose
  • [18:13:55] <koen> NishanthM: sakoman is writing the driver :)
  • [18:14:04] <mru> is that all they confuse?
  • [18:14:06] <NishanthM> and if i collect it can do 96khz playback only on audio path
  • [18:14:17] <NishanthM> 48khz full duplex on audio path
  • [18:15:13] <mru> anyway, I have this project to get the best possible video playback on the beagle board
  • [18:15:33] <ali_as> Define 'best possible'.
  • [18:15:50] <mru> high resolution and bitrate
  • [18:15:55] <koen> mru: using only the cortex, or also with dsp?
  • [18:16:01] * dirk3 (n=dirk@F3353.f.strato-dslnet.de) has left #beagle
  • [18:16:01] <mru> whatever it takes
  • [18:16:07] <mru> only the cortex to begin with
  • [18:16:20] <koen> + /* Dont support 96Khz -requires HSCLK >26Mhz
  • [18:16:20] <koen> + { .rate = 96000, .apll = AUDIO_MODE_RATE_96_000 }, */
  • [18:16:22] <sakoman> at the moment, git mcbsp only does 16 bit at 44.1 or 48 Khz
  • [18:16:27] <mru> what sort of driver support is there at the moment for graphics?
  • [18:16:42] <mru> is there anything more than a dumb framebuffer?
  • [18:16:54] <NishanthM> yeah it does need 26Mhz hsclk. i thought we had that on beagle rt?
  • [18:16:58] <ali_as> Uncompressed video would get you both, seems a slippery goal.
  • [18:17:13] <koen> mru: atm only dumb framebuffer
  • [18:17:25] <koen> mru: drivers for the powerVR SGX core are in the works
  • [18:17:39] <mru> which part is that again?
  • [18:17:48] <koen> mru: I don't know if the DSP has a hardware converter for pixelformats, though
  • [18:18:03] <mru> what about the IVA module?
  • [18:18:28] <suihkulokki> afaik the display controller can do YUV transitions without the help of IVA/SGX
  • [18:18:59] <hagisbasheruk_> can the hsclk source come from an external clock koen ?
  • [18:19:01] <koen> the DSP is part of the IVA2.2 system
  • [18:19:05] <koen> hagisbasheruk_: no idea
  • [18:21:21] * hagisbasheruk_ is starting to think that mabey he will see what crofton comes up with first :P
  • [18:21:42] <mru> according to the documentation (swpu114g), the display controller only handles YUV 4:2:2
  • [18:21:51] <mru> and rgb of course
  • [18:22:01] <mru> video generally decodes to 4:2:0
  • [18:22:22] <mru> either way, someone needs to write an accelerated X driver
  • [18:22:38] <koen> any volunteers?
  • [18:22:45] <mru> I'm game
  • [18:23:08] <mru> just want to check the state of affairs before duplicating any work
  • [18:23:24] <koen> I've used both kdrive and 'big' Xorg on the beagle, so both KAA and EXA are an option
  • [18:23:45] <mru> it's been a while since I did any X driver hacking
  • [18:24:09] <mru> hopefully something will still be familiar
  • [18:24:42] <kulve> is there any benefits in using kdriver over X.Org?
  • [18:25:13] <koen> kulve: kdrive is smaller and doesn't require an xorg.conf
  • [18:25:17] <koen> kulve: that's about it
  • [18:25:37] <kulve> xorg doensn't require xorg.conf either. The default works in many environments just fine
  • [18:25:54] <kulve> not sure if you want to select certain driver though..
  • [18:26:07] <koen> not in all the embedded boards I've used Xorg on

  • [18:34:16] <mru> anyway, if I were to start hacking on an X driver, how would you folks recommend managing it?
  • [18:34:57] <koen> mru: try to get fdo access and publish a git branch
  • [18:35:02] <mru> should I just set up a git repo somewhere and get going?
  • [18:35:12] <jkridner> can anyone check if binutils-cross-2.18-r3 is busted?
  • [18:35:15] <koen> mru: or publish a git branch somewhere else
  • [18:35:28] <jkridner> Is there a template for the configure script, or is that shipped?
  • [18:35:37] <jkridner> (probably m4 nonsense, eh?)
  • [18:35:39] <Crofton> jkridner, I do not think so
  • [18:35:42] <Crofton> working here
  • [18:35:51] <mru> koen: and publish a link in somewhere, I presume
  • [18:36:29] <koen> mru: indeed :)
  • [18:36:39] <koen> mru: and keep uptodate with upstream
  • [18:36:48] <mru> goes without saying
  • [18:37:04] <koen> which shouldn't be too hard since it's a new&seperate driver
  • [18:37:12] * jkridner is not happy with random additions of ')' to complete a build.
  • [18:37:37] * mru would be happy if that were all it took to cross-compile some packages
  • [18:37:45] * ali_as chuckles.
  • [18:38:03] <Crofton> jkridner, did you pastebin the error message?
  • [18:38:12] <mru> and yes, most of the problems I've encountered were caused by autoconf
  • [18:38:14] <mru> or libtool
  • [18:38:33] <koen> mru: I just finished updating angstrom to libtool 2.2.4
  • [18:38:51] <koen> 'pain' doesn't come close to describing the abortions I saw people put into their projects
  • [18:38:56] <jkridner> ugh, ran out of scroll-back buffer.
  • [18:39:02] * koen is happy with the http://www.flickr.com/photos/koenkooi/1071335452/ he just made
  • [18:39:26] <mru> wow, can the beagleboard do that?

  • [18:46:47] <koen> it was?
  • [18:46:58] <Crofton> did you erase tmp
  • [18:47:00] <koen> did you remove the complete build?
  • [18:47:00] <jkridner> I only see one "do_compile"
  • [18:47:22] <Crofton> what is in that?
  • [18:48:03] <jkridner> a successful compile.
  • [18:48:46] <jkridner> should it have kept the failed attempt logs?
  • [18:49:14] <koen> it should have kept all logs
  • [18:49:19] <Crofton> yeah, they should have pid in the filename
  • [18:51:03] <jkridner> there is a pid in each filename, but I don't see any failed log files.
  • [18:51:56] <Crofton> can you run a build and see what happens?
  • [18:52:18] <jkridner> I am running a build and it is moving along happily.
  • [18:52:59] <kulve> mru: so, how's your driver proceeding? When can I test it? :)

  • [19:16:42] * koen notices the USRP is now down to ???450
  • [19:16:49] <hagisbasheruk> $700 is a big outlay for a project , you must be an enthusiast , ignore spelling if it is wrong
  • [19:17:29] <hagisbasheruk> i'll stick with the $20 softrock40 :)
  • [19:18:03] <koen> depends on what kind of project you are doing
  • [19:18:14] <Crofton|work> yeah :)
  • [19:18:18] <hagisbasheruk> :P

  • [19:24:53] <hagisbasheruk> ahh .... :P
  • [19:24:54] <koen> jkridner: is there a davinci equiv. for the beagleboard?
  • [19:27:02] <hagisbasheruk> do you ever make your own hardware Crofton
  • [19:27:12] <Crofton> not in a while
  • [19:28:02] <hagisbasheruk> sorry if am am bugging , it just nice to talk to someone else who knows about SDR
  • [19:28:03] * koen has had one failed PCB project and refuses to ever touch Orcad again
  • [19:30:18] <Crofton> no problem
  • [19:30:34] <hagisbasheruk> what you using now koen ?
  • [19:30:43] <Crofton> I am tryig to finish some other stuff also

  • [19:41:18] <ds2> C64 makes me think of the Commodore 64, not a DSP ;)
  • [19:41:36] <ds2> and running matlab on the commodore 64 is "interesting" :)

  • [21:18:57] <ali_as> Is the loss of the USB host port meaningful, or can the OTG port be connected to a hub and have peripherals like an ethernet dongle working?
  • [21:19:16] <mru> it should be possible
  • [21:19:31] <mru> you'll need a suitable cable or adapter of course
  • [21:22:49] <hagisbasheruk> ali_as: The HS USB OTG (OnTheGo) controller on OMAP3 on the BeagleBoard does have support for all the USB 2.0 speeds (LS/FS/HS) and can act as either a host or a gadget/device. The HS USB OTG port is used as the default power input for the BeagleBoard. It is possible to boot the BeagleBoard using this USB port.
  • [21:23:42] <ali_as> I read that on the wiki. Doesn't quite answer my questions.
  • [21:24:14] <ali_as> For example, any disadvantage to powering from another source, and is anyone using ethernet currently?

  • [21:24:47] <ali_as> I understand koens speed benchmark was less than impressive, also.
  • [21:25:19] <sakoman> jkridner: hmm . . . seems that there is some relationship between the audio and setting up those vpll values
  • [21:25:56] <ali_as> I'm after a silent computer to leave on running things like an email server, I'm wondering if this functionality is close to working now.
  • [21:26:28] <sakoman> if I comment out setting up the vpll values, both audio channels go to pot
  • [21:26:45] <hagisbasheruk> :(
  • [21:26:52] <sakoman> if I uncomment them, the right channel comes back
  • [21:27:02] <sakoman> but the left channel still sounds bad
  • [21:27:12] <hagisbasheruk> :/ strange
  • [21:27:29] <ali_as> It's not doing something silly like sending the high byte to one channel and the low byte to another?
  • [21:27:50] <DJWillis> ali_as: koen's benchmark was for USB Gadget Ethernet (i.e. connected to a PC) if I recall, that's not a lot of use to you if you want a small low power server as you would need a PC on ;-).
  • [21:28:08] <sakoman> 16 bit samples, signals look just like the data sheet
  • [21:28:26] <ali_as> I don't understand what USB Gadget Ethernet is.
  • [21:28:36] <ds2> USB gadget is using the board as a USB device
  • [21:28:48] <ds2> i.e. it emulates a ethernet interface
  • [21:28:56] <ali_as> Ok, the PC is tunneling the data?
  • [21:29:05] <ds2> or terminating it
  • [21:29:25] <ali_as> Ok.
  • [21:29:41] <DJWillis> ali_as: Gadget is all USB device stuff, mass storage, ethernet bridge, that sort of stuff.
  • [21:29:46] <hagisbasheruk> hi DJWillis nice to see you here
  • [21:30:32] <DJWillis> ali_as: for host stuff you would just plug in a Linux supported USB 1 or 2 Ethernet device and away you go, make sure you have drivers, bring up the interface and serve away ;-)
  • [21:30:38] <DJWillis> hagisbasheruk: hi
  • [21:32:23] <ds2> hmm didn't know the 3430 can do 800MHz Hmmmm
  • [21:32:44] <ali_as> That would be a long way over my head currently, I'm thinking I will need to wait before the beagle is far enough along that I can use it.
  • [21:33:01] <ali_as> Which is a shame as I'll need to find something else to do the job.
  • [21:35:16] <ali_as> While people are awake, I'm still after GPIO toggle timings if anyone knows where to look?
  • [21:35:55] <ds2> there is a OMAP3440?
  • [21:38:49] <DJWillis> ali_as: can't help you with that I am afraid, well know exactly where to look anyway. On that note, night all.

  • [21:39:47] <ds2> no fans, cheapboard
  • [21:40:14] <prpplague> good system
  • [21:42:01] <ali_as> Might be a bit fringe, I'm thinking of an email server, IRC client, Pidgin, at the moment.
  • [21:42:26] <ali_as> I'm wondering if an x86 board might save a lot of hassle.
  • [21:42:48] <mru> the last x86 board I bought had a horribly broken bios
  • [21:42:58] <mru> the setup program crashes 9 times of 10
  • [21:43:08] <ds2> it may but then your electricity bill may burn a big hole in your pocket ;)
  • [21:43:09] <mru> besides, ARM is much more fun
