  • [09:03:43] <av500> I use the DSP
  • [09:06:03] <hkr> I have downloaded prebuild images from http://code.google.com/p/beagleboard/wiki/BeagleboardRevCValidation and tested audio and S-Video test . Is this kernel drivers also using DSP ?
  • [09:06:04] * virals (n=Viral_Sa@122.172.148.71) Quit (Read error: 104 (Connection reset by peer))
  • [09:06:32] <av500> hkr: no
  • [09:07:06] <av500> the kernel does not care about the DSP, there is a dsplinkk module that talks to the DSP and the rest is un user space and on the DPS of course

  • [09:10:43] <av500> you have to load it by hand
  • [09:11:31] <av500> together with cmem and lpm modules
  • [09:11:53] <av500> but then it wont do much, you of course also need dsp SW to run...
  • [09:11:59] <hkr> av500: you mean corresponding audio and video drivers will make use of dsplink module. is my understanding correct ?
  • [09:14:18] <hkr> with prebuilt images if I am testing Audio and Video play test . In this case , is dsp running ?

  • [16:56:01] <bobkatzz> ok thanks for your feedback - will fsck it all out
  • [16:56:34] <mru> oh, I made the association bacon -> kevin bacon -> kevin spacey -> k-pax -> imaginary friends
  • [16:57:21] <bobkatzz> I just thought of pigs but didn't go through the slaughterhouse ritual to arrive at "bacon" hehe
  • [16:57:38] <bobkatzz> ham that is - :P

  • [16:58:52] <bobkatzz> ok back to I2C or whatever - I gotta get this thing working or bail and use my PSK20 - which works but was not part of my project which specified the SR 6.3
  • [16:58:58] <mru> a good chain has at least twice the number
  • [16:59:59] <bobkatzz> didn't know it was limited to Rocky however - that sucks - so since I started it looks like some other programs are being used for it in Linux so there are more possibilities
  • [17:03:46] <av500> bobkatzz: bacon reference was from _koen_ ... :-)
  • [17:07:34] <bobkatzz> ah ok
  • [17:08:00] <bobkatzz> how is _koen_ these days - have not talked to him for a while

  • [17:15:23] <prpplague> sakoman: dandy
  • [17:15:28] <prpplague> sakoman: any problems?
  • [17:15:33] <bobkatzz> hey sakoman
  • [17:15:35] <sakoman> the driver loads and eth0 gets created

  • [17:16:10] <sakoman> hey bobkatzz!
  • [17:16:33] <prpplague> sakoman: i'm suspecting that the line connected to the IRQ isn't properly setup as an external irq
  • [17:16:36] <bobkatzz> looks like you're keeping busy!
  • [17:16:41] * prpplague grabs the schematic
  • [17:17:11] <sakoman> bobkatzz: indeed
  • [17:18:23] <sakoman> prpplague: I believe the IRQ is set up properly

  • [17:19:08] <bobkatzz> nice chip - lots of the docs are in Japanese tho :(
  • [17:19:34] <bobkatzz> and I only studied that for 1.5 years - dame des nai?

  • [17:22:20] <bobkatzz> sakoman - a Q - how can I get a standard python library added to my Beagleboard image/recipe - to be specific, wxpython libraries - is that non-simple? some of them have been done for Gnuradio (wxgui modules)
  • [17:23:24] <prpplague> sakoman: hmm, and if you manually assign an ip address then try to ping an external ip address?
  • [17:23:26] <bobkatzz> i need wx, wx.html, wx.lib.buttons, wx.lib.stattext, wx.lib.colourdb
  • [17:23:32] <sakoman> typically you just add package that depends on it and it happens automatically
  • [17:23:49] <sakoman> prpplague: doesn't work :-(
  • [17:24:44] <prpplague> sakoman: let me have a quick look and see where would be best to add some debug
  • [17:25:23] <bobkatzz> this program (Quisk)is actually written in Python so if those are there is would run but when it hits "import import wx, wx.html, wx.lib.buttons, wx.lib.stattext, wx.lib.colourdb" it borks since they aren't there - I'm assuming they would have to be cross compiled for Angstrom if they are not part of opkg - yep?

  • [17:25:57] <prpplague> sakoman: any messages in dmesg with regards to the enc28j60?

  • [17:27:33] <bobkatzz> part of the python libraries I mean - I will look on unstable to see if they are there
  • [17:27:38] <sakoman> prpplague: here's what trying to get a dhcp lease looks like: http://pastebin.com/m33d59c04
  • [17:28:24] <sakoman> bobkatzz: I'm not a python guy, so I have no idea :-(
  • [17:28:33] <prpplague> sakoman: can you pastebin what you have for /proc/interrupts ?
  • [17:29:56] <sakoman> prpplague: was just looking at that. one moment
  • [17:30:43] <sakoman> prpplague: no interrupts: http://pastebin.com/m66646386
  • [17:30:54] <sakoman> I'll review that setup code again
  • [17:31:48] <prpplague> sakoman: okie dokie, let me double check the schematic
  • [17:32:09] <prpplague> sakoman: you are using a revC board, but one that has the revB expansion pinout?

  • [17:33:49] * prpplague looks
  • [17:33:56] <bobkatzz> really? - another dead end eh?
  • [17:34:37] <bobkatzz> maybe I can just comment that line out in the Quisk program and see what happens - I done worse :P
  • [17:34:45] <prpplague> sakoman: i'm not seeing a polarity option
  • [17:34:54] <prpplague> sakoman: the irq is an active low signal
  • [17:35:11] <sakoman> iirc that is default
  • [17:35:58] <bobkatzz> well - if it would be a pain for you Crofton|work then that would make it just short of impossible for me I would guess - since you're the OE guy
  • [17:36:05] <Crofton> yeah
  • [17:36:12] <bobkatzz> crappers!
  • [17:36:13] <Crofton> I think wx has gcc 4.3 issues
  • [17:36:19] <bobkatzz> ah ok
  • [17:36:41] <Crofton> ask again next week and I'll see if there is an update or anything
  • [17:36:52] <Crofton> it would be nice to get it working
  • [17:37:03] <Crofton> but, I've been sort of waiting for upstream to fix it
  • [17:37:21] <bobkatzz> well if it's just the GUI bits I may be able to do a hack around that just to get the thing to work - or rewrite it to use wxgui modules written for gnuradio - if that's an option - since those already exist
  • [17:37:53] <bobkatzz> but I have no idea what i'm talking about hehe
  • [17:38:06] <bobkatzz> just conceptualizing

  • [17:39:13] <prpplague> sakoman: oh wait
  • [17:39:17] <bobkatzz> I'll give it to the end of today and then I'll just have to do my demo without the SR 6.3 - too bad but the SWL-PSK20 works and I'll use that
  • [17:39:22] <prpplague> sakoman: you have the max clock at 20Mhz
  • [17:39:37] <prpplague> sakoman: iirc that needs to be no more than 12Mhz
  • [17:39:43] * prpplague double checks
  • [17:39:49] <sakoman> prpplague: OK, let me try htat
  • [17:40:25] <sakoman> prpplague: didn't have a spec sheet for the part
  • [17:40:40] <prpplague> sakoman: np, i should have made some notes
  • [17:40:43] <sakoman> & was too lazy to dig :-)
  • [17:40:53] <bobkatzz> I could also disable the Si570 and just use FLDigi to trigger the PTT for transmitting but there is a danger that if the transmit volume is set too high it can actually toast the finals -
  • [17:41:25] <bobkatzz> but thanks for the input and I'll check in about wxpython later - I still would like to get it all working eventually

  • [17:42:02] <sakoman> prpplague: I think I grabbed the 20 value form the only board in the linux tree that was using it
  • [17:42:17] <Crofton> as I remember it was building fo rmachines that use older gcc
  • [17:42:29] <Crofton> need to find a patch somewhere ....
  • [17:42:44] <prpplague> sakoman: yea the specs say upto 20Mhz as the max valuable with the recommended as 12Mhz
  • [17:42:45] <bobkatzz> I'm new to the process - does that build get picked up by someone and then a patch made?
  • [17:43:10] <sakoman> prpplague: I throttle back to 12 and see if it makes a difference
  • [17:43:12] <sakoman> I'll
  • [17:43:20] <prpplague> sakoman: okie dokie
  • [17:43:41] <bobkatzz> I was thinking I had to do that myself for things and so I was trying to undestand how - that must have been what koen did for FLDigi then - yep?
  • [17:43:54] <sakoman> prpplague: I can see that gpio157 is low, so it seems the part is trying to interrupt
  • [17:44:11] <prpplague> sakoman: ahh good
  • [17:44:11] <sakoman> need to fugure out why that isn't happening
  • [17:44:43] <bobkatzz> could never undsrstand how you do a diff and end up with a patch - that has eluded me - but I'm pretty dense hehe
  • [17:45:03] <bobkatzz> once I get it - it's in there for good tho :P
  • [17:45:16] <sakoman> prpplague: I'll start with the 12 -> 20 change to use something we know should work, then begin digging

  • [19:22:28] <ds2> is there a equiv of cpan in python?
  • [19:25:05] <djlewis_> what I got from it is that it is a file that is installed with dist-utils
  • [19:25:18] <djlewis_> whether it is included, then again...
  • [19:25:30] <ds2> import usually refers to somethting that it wants to use, a module typically
  • [19:27:46] <bobkatzz> yeah - I'm trying to edit the setup.py file but vi/vim is doing karazy things and I keep having to exit and start ove rhehe

  • [19:31:56] <bobkatzz> NU(merical)PY(thon) - shoulda known :P
  • [19:32:59] <bobkatzz> ok so it's in numpy distutils - should be easy enough to rewrite the setup.py file to find the right file there - hoping there aren't 1000 concatenated calls like that heheh

  • [19:40:39] <bobkatzz> setuptools - sorry

  • [19:47:33] <djlewis_> aren't answers easier than reality ;)
  • [19:48:45] <bobkatzz> there must be something missing in the python modules somewhere, like Crofton alluded to
  • [19:50:05] <valhalla> bobkatzz: are setup a function and Extensions a class?

  • [19:51:36] <bobkatzz> yeah - here is the whole statement from the setup.py file::
