  18. [01:04:12] <s4wrxttcs> quick question - is it now common to do pin muxing in the kernel
  19. [01:04:17] <s4wrxttcs> as opposed to uboot
  20. [01:05:21] * iwinulose (~iwinulose@2620:0:1b00:1471:21f:f3ff:fe51:b372) Quit (Read error: Operation timed out)
  21. [01:05:41] <ghoti> first I've heard of pin muxing, but of course, I know nothing. :)
  22. [01:06:40] <emeb> s4wrxttcs: actually pin muxing is handled in both places depending on preference of person doing the coding.
  23. [01:06:58] <s4wrxttcs> But, they both work fairly well?
  24. [01:07:14] <s4wrxttcs> I just remember last year at some point and people were warning me about doing it on the kernel side
  25. [01:07:26] <emeb> u-boot is somewhat less restricted by side effects
  26. [01:07:36] <s4wrxttcs> I'd prefer to do it on the kernel side because I'm lazy
  27. [01:07:52] <emeb> kernel code has a lot of complex sharing controls imposed
  28. [01:07:57] * jserv-- (~jserv@61-30-10-70.static.tfn.net.tw) has joined #beagle
  29. [01:08:05] <s4wrxttcs> yeah, gotcha
  30. [01:08:10] <emeb> so it's hard to know when you're messing something up.
  31. [01:08:19] <s4wrxttcs> so uboot it is
  32. [01:08:37] <s4wrxttcs> the way of doing it in uboot at least makes sense to me
  33. [01:08:43] <emeb> ATM the code in u-boot is easier to understand
  34. [01:09:09] <s4wrxttcs> for some reason I thought the beagleboard had its uboot already enabled for spi
  35. [01:09:13] <s4wrxttcs> on the expansion port
  36. [01:09:21] <emeb> Not that I've seen.
  37. [01:09:31] <s4wrxttcs> but the uboot pin configuration isn't agreeing with that
  38. [01:09:40] <s4wrxttcs> it all seems to be set as GPIO's
  39. [01:09:45] <emeb> latest u-boot detects I2C ID PROM and sets pin-mux accordingly
  40. [01:10:24] <emeb> For my board it sets all expansion pins as GPIO except McSPI3 and I2C2
  41. [01:10:38] <s4wrxttcs> what's your board?
  42. [01:10:58] <emeb> http://members.cox.net/ebrombaugh1/embedded/beagle/beagle_fpga.html
  43. [01:11:13] <s4wrxttcs> yeah, that's right
  44. [01:11:24] <s4wrxttcs> don't you use MCBSP4?
  45. [01:11:32] <s4wrxttcs> err
  46. [01:11:42] <emeb> You're right - McSPI4
  47. [01:11:42] <s4wrxttcs> I mean the MCBSP1 pins set as SPI pins
  48. [01:12:09] <s4wrxttcs> and uboot sets up those pins
  49. [01:12:16] <s4wrxttcs> based on the I2c detection of your board
  50. [01:12:38] <emeb> yes. Look in latest OE version of u-boot & you'll see conditional for 'beaglefpga'
  51. [01:12:59] <s4wrxttcs> I was actually looking in the beagleboard validation git repository
  52. [01:13:07] <emeb> Probably not in there
  53. [01:13:37] <s4wrxttcs> thankfully I don't have to do conditional
  54. [01:13:50] <s4wrxttcs> I just have to set MCBSP1 to MCSPI4
  55. [01:13:58] <emeb> yep - as long as you're happy maintaining your own version of u-boot
  56. [01:14:23] <s4wrxttcs> well it is my own board
  57. [01:14:24] <s4wrxttcs> the entire board
  58. [01:14:30] <s4wrxttcs> but I do use a variscite module
  59. [01:14:39] <emeb> ah - even the OMAP on your board?
  60. [01:14:46] <s4wrxttcs> no, no
  61. [01:14:50] <s4wrxttcs> the omap is on the variscite
  62. [01:14:58] <s4wrxttcs> of course they cheated and they don't use the POP package
  63. [01:15:06] <s4wrxttcs> board it seems to work fine
  64. [01:15:11] <s4wrxttcs> board = but
  65. [01:15:24] * emeb googles variscite
  66. [01:15:30] <s4wrxttcs> the FPGA works, The Camera works
  67. [01:15:42] <s4wrxttcs> now I just have to get configuring the FPGA via SPI working
  68. [01:16:18] <s4wrxttcs> the Verascite is cheaper than the Gumstix Overo
  69. [01:17:10] <emeb> this: http://www.variscite.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=79&Itemid=83 ?
  70. [01:17:37] <s4wrxttcs> yep
  71. [01:18:05] <emeb> cool.
  72. [01:18:34] <emeb> what's it cost? (qty 1)
  73. [01:18:50] <s4wrxttcs> It's around $120 or so
  74. [01:18:58] <s4wrxttcs> but it scales nicely with quantity
  75. [01:19:18] <emeb> nice thing is that they appear to bring out almost all I/O
  76. [01:19:37] <s4wrxttcs> yeah, the bring quite a bit out
  77. [01:19:44] <s4wrxttcs> my main thing was the camera signals
  78. [01:19:53] <s4wrxttcs> I absolutely hate the flex cable the gumstix has

  82. [01:21:43] <s4wrxttcs> for some stuff I could see using that

  88. [01:46:21] <ghoti> Anyone know how beagleboard compare to hawkboard in terms of power usage, while idle?
  89. [01:46:50] <ds2> measure it? :D
  90. [01:47:36] <emeb> always so practical.
  91. [01:48:22] <ds2> the numbers vary wildly depending on what kernel you use
  92. [01:49:11] <ghoti> Hrm. So ... the difference between two kernels on one board will not map to an equivalent difference on the other baord?
  93. [01:49:19] <ds2> nope
  94. [01:49:28] <ds2> depends on the kernel, options used and pm supported
  95. [01:49:37] <ghoti> I'd love to measure it, but my beagleboard may be broken (I've posted to the list and am hoping for some wisdom) and I'm wondering what to buy as a second board.
  96. [01:49:39] <ds2> and in some cases, even u-boot comes into play (shouldn't but...)
  97. [01:49:57] <ds2> if you want a random kernel comparism, I have numbers for the beagle
  98. [01:50:04] <ghoti> Has somebody published strategies for reducing power consumption, or am I on my own with that too?
  99. [01:50:24] <ds2> published?
  100. [01:50:37] <ds2> have you seen my old slides from SCALEX?
  101. [01:50:40] <ghoti> I'd like to see any data available; I'm feeling kind of in a vacuum at the moment.
  102. [01:50:47] <ds2> let me dig out the URL
  103. [01:50:51] <ghoti> Nope, haven't seen slides. Don't know what links to them. :)
  104. [01:52:00] <ds2> ghoti: ancient numbers but - http://www.hy-research.com/blog/beagle.html
  105. [01:52:10] <ds2> that has idle numbers that I measured with an arbitary kernel
  106. [01:52:23] <ds2> ghoti: same website, under downloads...look for the SCALEX stuff

  108. [01:53:28] <ds2> now measure the hawkboard numbers and report back :D
  109. [01:54:02] <ghoti> Thanks! I'll still need to do a bunch of research to understand this I suspect; I'm not so familiar with Linux innards (I'm a FreeBSD guy usually, and application-level at that)...

  112. [01:56:25] <ghoti> Out of curiosity, do you know if there's some way I can, even if it costs money for a phone call, determine whether the beagleboard that I have is actually broken? (http://groups.google.com/group/beagleboard/browse_thread/thread/6f47defb60cb296d)
  113. [01:56:46] <ghoti> I'd hate to be fighting hardware problems that are *actually* software problems.
  114. [01:57:44] <ds2> ghoti: power it from the barrel connector using a 500mA or better, 5V (+/-5%) power supply and see if the issue goes away
  115. [01:58:45] <ghoti> ds2, that doesn't work - it only shows anything over the serial console if I power it via OTG, from a powered hub that's connected to a host.
  116. [01:59:07] <ghoti> When I power it from the barrel connector, the LEDs come on as if it's booting, but I see either line noise or silence on the serial console.
  117. [01:59:24] * idlogin (c13f2621@gateway/web/freenode/ip.193.63.38.33) Quit (Ping timeout: 252 seconds)
  118. [02:00:32] <ds2> how are you getting power to the barrel connector?
  119. [02:01:12] <ghoti> You mean, when it doesn't work? I've tried an array of 5 vDC power supplies, ranging from 1A to 2.4A, and from 5.06 V to 5.18 V.
  120. [02:01:52] <ds2> very odd
  121. [02:02:05] <ghoti> Some of the power supplies came with powered USB hubs I had laying around. Then I went out and bought three more to be sure. Now, I'm pretty sure it just doesn't work unless it sees a host on the other side of the OTB.
  122. [02:02:27] <ghoti> This is a C3, btw.
  123. [02:04:04] <ds2> and with the OTG, you can see the U-boot banner?
  124. [02:04:28] <ghoti> Yes.
  125. [02:07:59] <ds2> I am tempted to conclude it is HW
  126. [02:08:30] <ds2> at that point, the system should not draw enough power for it to matter where it is coming from... unless the FET is blow and triton is irate
  127. [02:09:56] <ds2> but listen to Gerald
  128. [02:10:41] <ghoti> Okay, thanks. I'll wait another day for updates on my post to the list before ordering a replacement. This one won't even make a good coaster... Too bumpy.
  129. [02:11:14] <ghoti> Frustrating, because I let it sit around for 6 months before I finally had time to start playing with it. $149 down the drain.
  130. [02:11:25] <ds2> did you try power it from the expansion connector?
  131. [02:13:48] <ghoti> The expansion header? I'm a little nervous soldering; I was hoping to exhaust other possibilities before doing anything hardware related. Is that worth a try? Would I be adding a second barrel connector to pin 2?
  132. [02:14:10] * maria (~mrodrigue@186.32.57.22) Quit (Quit: Leaving.)
  133. [02:14:19] <ds2> no
  134. [02:14:32] <ds2> doing that improperly can lead to symtoms you are seeing
  135. [02:14:53] <ghoti> Ah. Well, I didn't do anything like that. :)

  148. [03:11:56] <djlewis> ds2: , ghoti , according to the c3 schematic it should work with the DC jack unless the jack is not making a good connection to the board traces
  149. [03:12:31] <djlewis> or the traced are lacking between the jack and main dc.
  150. [03:12:46] <djlewis> s/traced/traces
  151. [03:13:29] <djlewis> simple test to measure dc at current measurement header j2
  152. [03:13:45] <djlewis> with otg power then DC In power
  153. [03:14:27] <djlewis> main difference seems the usb power in toggles a switch in the tps 2141
  154. [03:14:46] <djlewis> both sources go to same common point at j2
  155. [03:15:42] <djlewis> unless I'm missing the forest for the trees ;)
  156. [03:16:22] <djlewis> do ignore the wiring of the dc jack though. its been wierdly wrong on all schematics.
  157. [03:17:13] <new2bb> hi all

  168. [03:48:42] <ds2> djlewis: he's saying the LED comes on, so connection should be good... I suspect the isolation FET is blown so the triton is upset which in turn causes it to fail to power up the A8
  169. [03:50:21] <djlewis> possible. still...

  232. [05:28:42] <ds2> toying with some ideas
  233. [05:29:22] <ds2> use the DSP as a DDS + feedback system... waking up the ARM as needed
  234. [05:30:10] <emeb|mac> sounds interesting...
  235. [05:30:40] <av500> ds2: there is a dsp->arm IRQ
  236. [05:30:49] <av500> i bet that can wake it up
  237. [05:31:21] <emeb|mac> what kind of irq rate you thinking?
  238. [05:31:29] <ds2> imagine a software scanner... DDS to tune it + DSP detector.. if anything interesting happens, wake up the ARM to record it
  239. [05:32:02] <emeb|mac> ah - so many seconds between desquelches
  240. [05:32:14] <ds2> maybe GPIO isn't the best option...prehaps the GPMC to do the DDS
  241. [05:32:23] <ds2> emeb|mac: yep.. lots of quiet periods
  242. [05:32:49] <ds2> the question here would really be.... is a hardware DDS + detector cheaper powerwise then a DSP doing it all
  243. [05:32:55] <emeb|mac> so hook up an external downconvert/demod via GPMC
  244. [05:33:18] <emeb|mac> power depends on what the raw RF sample rate is
  245. [05:33:33] <emeb|mac> which depends on BW of the signal you're chasing
  246. [05:33:41] * ddd (8bb30dc4@gateway/web/freenode/ip.139.179.13.196) has joined #beagle
  247. [05:33:55] <ds2> ideally, it'd be a DC to maybe 100GHz, looking at prehaps 10-20MHz chunks
  248. [05:34:31] <emeb|mac> so a 20MHz BW output from a UWB tuner
  249. [05:34:53] <emeb|mac> 20MHz you'd definitely need some external preprocessing.
  250. [05:34:57] <ds2> but then at those rates, I am probally looking at current mode stuff
  251. [05:35:04] <ds2> and that'd guzzle power
  252. [05:35:37] <emeb|mac> eh - do the frontend analog & don't digitize until you get it to IF
  253. [05:36:06] <ds2> you don't think a DC to 100GHz DDS is too practical? :D
  254. [05:36:30] <emeb|mac> :)
  255. [05:36:54] <ds2> analog stuff is icky... all those bias currents flowing all over
  256. [05:37:23] <emeb|mac> but analog is still lower power & more sensitive than most digital stuff
  257. [05:37:46] <emeb|mac> and IIRC you want -150dBm sensitivity.
  258. [05:37:57] <ds2> really? I'd think the bias current would change things... aren't all this stuff run in class A mode?
  259. [05:38:13] <ds2> yep, -150dBm or better; no lN2 cooling either
  260. [05:38:46] <emeb|mac> yeah - class A, but remember that you're talking about stuff that's really tiny, so the DC currents don't have to be large.
  261. [05:38:59] <emeb|mac> All running at pretty high impedances.
  262. [05:39:22] <ds2> eh? thought it was standard practice to run them all at 50ohm?
  263. [05:39:49] <ddd> anybody knows, why the api generated from the dspbridge project userspace in omappediawiki does not support tidspbridge kernel2.6.33, but it can support android dspbridge kernel 2.6.29?
  264. [05:40:15] <av500> because it changes all the time?
  265. [05:40:20] <emeb|mac> 50 ohm can be sacrificed for low power operation
  266. [05:40:43] <emeb|mac> and on-chip impedances can be matched to higher impedances.
  267. [05:40:44] <av500> ddd: looking at l-o, dspbridge is being rewritten every week...
  268. [05:41:05] <ds2> hmmm
  269. [05:41:20] <ds2> most people I know that do RF don't care about low power
  270. [05:42:19] <av500> most HAMs care for high power :)
  271. [05:42:28] <ds2> unless they are QRP folks
  272. [05:42:34] <emeb|mac> depends on what they're doing. Mobile RX is an art but mostly for consumer stuff.
  273. [05:42:58] <emeb|mac> ham HTs benefit from long battery life too tho
  274. [05:43:11] <emeb|mac> so low-power RX is good there too.
  275. [05:43:46] <ds2> but then hams can do CW
  276. [05:43:53] <emeb|mac> some hams
  277. [05:44:05] <ddd> thank u, av500, where is the lo dspbridge? one more question, ti said it would maintain dspbridge after, but now seems working on kernel2.6.33 for dspbridge,
  278. [05:44:10] <av500> most HAMs I know do eth :)
  279. [05:44:30] <av500> ddd: l-o is linux-omap mailing list
  280. [05:44:51] <ddd> link?
  281. [05:45:03] <ds2> just clone tony's tree
  282. [05:45:05] <av500> I dont know what TIs plans for dspbridge are, given that it is mostly driven by Nokia....
  283. [05:45:18] <ds2> Long live DSP gateway!
  284. [05:45:22] * ds2 ducks
  285. [05:45:32] * av500 shrugs
  286. [05:45:49] <av500> actually, bridge and link are not much different
  287. [05:45:52] <emeb|mac> looks like dsplink stuff that maltanar is doing seems pretty good
  288. [05:46:00] <av500> and bridge is nicer in the way that it uses the dsp mmu fully
  289. [05:46:04] <av500> so no need for cmem
  290. [05:46:08] <av500> emeb|mac: yep
  291. [05:46:18] <ds2> but bridge don't work on the DV stuff
  292. [05:46:19] <av500> finally somebody doing something with the dsp :)
  293. [05:46:24] <ddd> seems dsp gateway determinated
  294. [05:46:25] <av500> ds2: DV?
  295. [05:46:39] <ds2> av500: Davinci...i.e. DM6446, DM355, et al

  298. [05:47:01] <av500> ds2: yes, it is more omap specific
  299. [05:47:08] <av500> it could work on other arm+dsps
  300. [05:47:30] <emeb|mac> ds2: like the idea of using the DSP as a preprocessor for SDR stuff tho.
  301. [05:47:30] <ds2> could but does it work with say the L137/L138?
  302. [05:47:33] <av500> ds2: what is misses is the CE layer on top
  303. [05:47:52] <ds2> emeb|mac: in the light of your points on power usage, I donno now
  304. [05:47:52] <av500> ds2: no, coz they are not used in nokia phones :)

  306. [05:48:15] <ds2> av500: but for a while, they were using gateway
  307. [05:48:17] <emeb|mac> thinking that the best flow is analog RF -> ADC -> FPGA (DDC, decimate) -> McBSP -> DSP -> ARM
  308. [05:48:23] <av500> ds2: yes
  309. [05:48:29] <av500> bridge is gateway 2.0
  310. [05:48:37] <av500> and gateway shares ancestry with link
  311. [05:48:41] <av500> its all the same
  312. [05:48:46] <ds2> ah
  313. [05:48:57] <ds2> but is bridge supported on the 35xx parts?
  314. [05:49:06] <av500> it all goes back to RF (referecne framework) we used that on the omap1 (one!)
  315. [05:49:15] <av500> RF3, RF4. RF5 ...
  316. [05:49:26] <av500> ds2: err? sure
  317. [05:49:34] <ds2> emeb|mac: hmmm I'd prefeer to drop the FPGA...even a Coolrunner is expensive
  318. [05:49:38] <ds2> (power wise)
  319. [05:49:52] <emeb|mac> ds2: then you need to run the ADC pretty slow
  320. [05:50:12] <av500> ds2: you are not going to do the DDC on the dsp :)
  321. [05:50:13] <ds2> av500: really? I thought they are supported only on the 34xx parts... 35xx only "support" link (support, not "works on")
  322. [05:50:15] <emeb|mac> (less than 10MSPS)
  323. [05:50:32] <av500> ds2: what "support" do you mean? there is no support for bridge anyway
  324. [05:50:40] <ds2> emeb|mac: hmmm... but based on what you said, wouldn't a mixer be more approriate then a fpga?
  325. [05:50:48] <ds2> av500: if you do enough volume....
  326. [05:51:00] <emeb|mac> ds2: for really wideband you need both
  327. [05:51:16] <av500> ds2: if you do volume, 34 vs 35 does not matter at all
  328. [05:51:18] <ds2> emeb|mac:Hmmm
  329. [05:51:34] <av500> but yes, catalog will not give you bridge support most likely
  330. [05:51:36] <emeb|mac> or at least an ASIC of some sort doing downconversion/decimation
  331. [05:51:46] <ds2> av500: aren't tehre secret magic bits that are only in 34xx?
  332. [05:51:47] <av500> ask koen
  333. [05:51:55] <av500> ds2: not that I know of
  334. [05:53:06] <ds2> I think the existance of such secret bits is a secret in itself :/
  335. [05:53:26] <av500> ds2: we are wireless customer, not catalog and I see nothing at all secret
  336. [05:53:37] <ds2> av500: OH
  337. [05:53:46] <av500> the only secrets are stuff like memory stick or macrovision
  338. [05:53:53] <av500> but these apply to all customers
  339. [05:54:22] <av500> (if it still has memory stick...)
  340. [05:54:34] <av500> DV had afaik
  341. [05:54:55] <ds2> but isn't that like support for betamax playback? :D
  342. [05:54:59] <emeb|mac> there's secret bits in the 35xx too - otherwise why the cloaked boot process?
  343. [05:55:05] <av500> cloaked?
  344. [05:55:20] <emeb|mac> hidden ROM code?
  345. [05:55:28] <av500> i dont think it is hidden
  346. [05:55:35] <av500> I think somebody dumped it even
  347. [05:56:08] <emeb|mac> ah - I thought there was a visibile ROM and also some that couldn't be seen under any circumstance
  348. [05:56:21] <av500> maybe on the HS parts

  462. [08:18:51] <av500> and what for anyway...
  463. [08:19:04] <Circuitsoft> Right now, I don't have an armv7 toolchain on my pc - only on the beagleboard.
  464. [08:19:17] <av500> that is easily rectified
  465. [08:19:39] <Circuitsoft> True. I just haven't really felt reason to yet. Building stuff on the board itself is easy enough.

  476. [08:24:06] <Circuitsoft> Framebuffer is another matter.
  477. [08:25:23] <Circuitsoft> I started with the omap3_beagle_defconfig and modified it a little, adding/removing a few net-based options and filesystems.
  478. [08:25:53] <av500> any reason not to set CONFIG_OMAP2_DSS?
  479. [08:26:17] <Circuitsoft> I don't think it was set in the beagle_defconfig, so I figured it conflicted with omapfb and I didn't need it.
  480. [08:26:28] <av500> well, you need it
  481. [08:26:52] <Circuitsoft> Do I need CONFIG_FB_OMAP2?
  482. [08:28:17] <hvaibhav> if you want to make use of all features of OMAP3 DSS, then yes you must enable it.
  483. [08:29:07] <av500> Circuitsoft: whatever is in the omap3_beagle_defconfig , ignore it and find a proper .config
  484. [08:29:19] <av500> defconfigs are going the way of the dodo anyway atm

  593. [11:48:26] <topfs2> neo01124, its alive :)
  594. [11:48:44] <neo01124> topfs2, yeah!!
  595. [11:53:47] <topfs2> whats the code for fileop? is it hard to do that pwm?
  596. [11:56:18] <neo01124> topfs2, http://pastebin.com/Pk8ANAcg
  597. [11:56:38] <neo01124> topfs2, it would have been very difficult without the pwm driver
  598. [11:57:09] <topfs2> Oh awesome so its just open and ioctl!
  599. [11:57:15] <topfs2> ok thats pretty nifty :)
  600. [11:58:39] <topfs2> is the idea to support read and such aswell?
  601. [11:58:48] <topfs2> i.e. to get the status of it?
  602. [11:58:55] <av500> neo01124: SCPWM?
  603. [11:58:56] <neo01124> there is a read, i have not used it in the vid
  604. [11:59:26] <neo01124> av500, ?
  605. [11:59:37] <av500> what does SCPWM mean?
  606. [11:59:54] <av500> also, PWM_FREQUENCY should be PWM_SET_FREQUENCY
  607. [12:00:04] <av500> and there should be a PWM_GET_FREQUENCY
  608. [12:00:35] <neo01124> scpwm is for switching the pulse direction..
  609. [12:00:43] <neo01124> will rename those
  610. [12:01:33] <av500> pulse direction?
  611. [12:01:46] <mobidev> hello guys
  612. [12:01:46] <topfs2> That driver could really be usefull
  613. [12:01:48] <mobidev> who trying to use Android with Beagle board, this is real?
  614. [12:02:00] <mru> no, it's all fake
  615. [12:02:03] <buZz> mobidev: why wouldn't it be real?
  616. [12:02:11] * av500 is not real
  617. [12:02:14] <mru> we set up this channel just to lure in people like you
  618. [12:02:16] <buZz> android is just an application, like any other
  619. [12:02:19] <topfs2> the cake is a lie
  620. [12:02:27] <av500> there is no spoon
  621. [12:02:27] <topfs2> there is no android
  622. [12:02:31] <topfs2> lol
  623. [12:03:24] <mobidev> I listen few technical spec need for use Android
  624. [12:03:41] <buZz> 'processor, memory, storage device'
  625. [12:03:52] <buZz> mobidev: android runs on normal x86 pcs aswell

  627. [12:05:52] <neo01124> av500, pg no 2554 @ omap trm, scpwm bit will allow specifying a positive or a negative pulse i.e. pulse=duty cycle or 100-duty cycle
  628. [12:06:11] <neo01124> will renmae that also
  629. [12:06:17] <neo01124> *rename
  630. [12:07:09] <mobidev> buZz: you mean I can install Android to any device and use Android Market without problems?
  631. [12:07:18] <av500> PWM_SET_POLARITY
  632. [12:07:23] <av500> mobidev: no
  633. [12:07:29] <mobidev> hmm
  634. [12:07:33] <av500> market is for nice ppl only
  635. [12:07:39] <av500> ppl that google thinks are nice
  636. [12:08:01] <mobidev> av500: I not understand, please detail about ppl
  637. [12:08:20] <av500> you have to be nice to google to get market
  638. [12:08:23] <Cru_N_cher> eh market rather integrates more Google sureveilance tools ;)
  639. [12:09:02] <mobidev> av500: you mean I can install Android to Beagle, but I can't use Android Market?
  640. [12:09:09] <av500> yup
  641. [12:09:15] <mobidev> hmm :(
  642. [12:09:21] <mobidev> it's strange
  643. [12:09:24] <av500> no
  644. [12:09:32] <Cru_N_cher> as it comes as a complete package login system,google account registering provider settings ect
  645. [12:09:38] <av500> you can install linux for free, but not all linux apps are free...
  646. [12:09:50] <av500> same with android
  647. [12:10:19] <Cru_N_cher> though it's easy to integrate market @ anytime
  648. [12:10:25] <av500> psst!
  649. [12:10:29] <Cru_N_cher> it was designed that way to plugin nicely
  650. [12:10:33] <mobidev> av500: yes and so? I can buy few App for Linux, right?
  651. [12:10:40] <av500> yes
  652. [12:10:52] <av500> but you cannot buy market from google
  653. [12:11:07] <av500> you have to certify your android device in order to get it...
  654. [12:11:12] <mobidev> and I think I can buy App from Android from Android Market, right?
  655. [12:11:26] <av500> yes, once you have market itself
  656. [12:11:51] <mobidev> yes, for me, I can use App from MArket?
  657. [12:12:09] <mobidev> with Beagle board?
  658. [12:12:14] <av500> yes
  659. [12:12:27] <mobidev> good!
  660. [12:12:39] <Cru_N_cher> Market is a Google tool which means you need to certify with Google make deals to use it create users and maybe money deals on purchases in the apps store ;) ?
  661. [12:13:15] <Cru_N_cher> that would interest me do certified implementers like Sony and others get affiliate ids ;) ?
  662. [12:13:32] <Cru_N_cher> so Google sees exactly from which Device a purchase came ;) ?
  663. [12:13:32] <av500> ?
  664. [12:13:37] <mobidev> Cru_N_cher: I think is no problem buy the App for users
  665. [12:14:53] <Cru_N_cher> yeah but Sony and the others work as the connection between Google the Developers and Users ;)
  666. [12:15:09] <av500> Cru_N_cher: ???
  667. [12:15:28] <Cru_N_cher> in the real world you call that retailer ;)
  668. [12:16:38] <topfs2> does there exist a command in linux to forcibly close a bound socket
  669. [12:16:49] <topfs2> If an app has gone haywire and left it bound I mean
  670. [12:18:31] <Cru_N_cher> mobidev thouhg that way Market stays something exclusive
  671. [12:18:58] <mobidev> sorry, offtopic: I can't join to #android channel? what a problems? It's only my problems?
  672. [12:19:00] <Cru_N_cher> selling it to users directly would lose that exclusive state for the implementer
  673. [12:19:18] <Cru_N_cher> so Google most likely will never do it
  674. [12:19:34] <mobidev> I think all markets exclusive in future
  675. [12:19:49] <topfs2> I'm pretty sure it has more to do with being binary compatible and such

  836. [14:26:41] <topfs2> thats abit impressive :)
  837. [14:26:54] <notzed> it's always morning somewhere, but here it's 11:55pm. that's not morning :P
  838. [14:27:00] <mru> topfs2: I used matlab instead
  839. [14:27:14] <topfs2> well thats a calculator in my book :)
  840. [14:27:30] <mru> seriously though, most of the stuff was analytic
  841. [14:27:36] <mru> nothing a calculator would help with
  842. [14:27:38] <mru> nor matlab
  843. [14:27:49] <mru> and I never got the hang of maple or mathematica
  844. [14:28:18] <mru> we found it a bit amusing when we put something into maple and it replied "5 = 3"
  845. [14:28:28] <new2bb> koen:, what i mean is, i m not getting ANGSTROM login prompt on minicom, after loading kernel, it looks like kernel got stuck while loading
  846. [14:28:43] <topfs2> Whats your program? I know we have had to use it in some of the courses, like automatic control and crap
  847. [14:28:44] <mru> of course we had in fact told it something that equated to that statement
  848. [14:28:53] <mru> I did EE at KTH
  849. [14:29:38] <topfs2> I would never have handled that without a calculator, but then again my head calculating skills fails at 2x = 3

  867. [14:35:01] <topfs2> btw notzed I tried commenting out rendering of video i xbmc and it still didn't want to go past 15 fps on bunny 480p
  868. [14:35:23] <topfs2> oprofile suggested 50% of cpu was spent in kernel though, which is weird

  870. [14:35:30] <topfs2> but could be my vnc session
  871. [14:36:05] <notzed> hmm, ok. not sure what vnc would do, but 50% kernel sounds weird indeed

  880. [14:38:29] <av500> topfs2: what about waiting for the gl render to finish?
  881. [14:38:32] <topfs2> ah crap, nvm I'll try that later. I just destroyed my compiled version :)
  882. [14:38:48] <topfs2> av500, with glFlush and glFinish or how do you mean?
  883. [14:39:06] <av500> i mean, what does xbmc do while the sgx renders?
  884. [14:39:36] <av500> well, i could of course decode video in another thread,,,,
  885. [14:39:39] <av500> it
  886. [14:39:46] <av500> i hope it does
  887. [14:39:51] <topfs2> Yeah it should decode in one thread and present in another
  888. [14:40:11] <topfs2> IIRC the video player is 2 or 3 threads
  889. [14:40:41] <av500> ok
  890. [14:41:11] <topfs2> Still, we do a glfinish iirc, model when drawing video is draw, finish, sleep and flip
  891. [14:41:46] <topfs2> apposed to draw and flip, I'm not sure on the mechanics on that but apperantly it was better
  892. [14:42:11] <topfs2> could be a cause of the 50% in kernel though (seeing finish might end up there?)
  893. [14:43:18] <notzed> how much of the 'video render' was commented out as such, and how fast was it with it enabled?
  894. [14:45:16] <topfs2> I commented out uploading and rendering, but I'm still abit new to the video player but another one from xbmc said it is supposed to be correctly comemnted away
  895. [14:45:34] <topfs2> and iirc about 10 without commenting out
  896. [14:45:47] <topfs2> hmm, must have been much slower when I think of it
  897. [14:46:22] <topfs2> When I have this framebuffer working (the egl swap stuff doesn't seem to do as I want) then I'll take a much much closer look into it
  898. [14:46:28] <topfs2> And remove the need for vnc aswell
  899. [14:48:44] <notzed> ok sounds like a good plan. i can't imagine using vnc gives a very good idea of how it runs either, not that i've never used it.
  900. [14:49:06] <topfs2> Well I mostly use vnc to transfer keystrokes over, I usually switch to hdmi to watch it
  901. [14:49:19] <topfs2> However, I'm possitive it f*cks up the fps quite a bit :)

  912. [14:59:41] <topfs2> Should work after I have logged in to gnome I guess

  964. [16:21:09] <s4wrxttcs> Is there anything uboot needs to do to a specific pin if I want to pix mux that within the kernel? I think I should just be able to deal with it in the kernel. The particular pins I want aren't defined within uboot

  966. [16:24:35] <koen> doing it in uboot is a lot easier
  967. [16:24:47] <s4wrxttcs> yeah, I'll probably just do that
  968. [16:24:57] <s4wrxttcs> I'm googling right now for good examples on doing it within the kernel
  969. [16:26:20] <s4wrxttcs> the beagleboard its largely done in uboot, even for the expansion boards. Where it detects whats there on the i2c
  970. [16:26:26] <s4wrxttcs> correct?
  971. [16:26:51] <koen> yes
  972. [16:26:57] <s4wrxttcs> thanks
  973. [16:27:07] <s4wrxttcs> I'm just going to use that as an example
  974. [16:28:33] <s4wrxttcs> koen: in your testing of camera's what have you been using as a test app?
  975. [16:28:37] <s4wrxttcs> in terms of live video?
  976. [16:28:41] <s4wrxttcs> just mplayer?

  1012. [17:16:11] <topfs2> cheapest I bought was 0.5$
  1013. [17:16:20] * jkridner assumes buZz is not in the US.
  1014. [17:16:23] <topfs2> ofcourse that one was more for fun than for use :)

  1016. [17:16:39] <topfs2> http://blogs.premierstudios.com/files/2009/07/old-phone.jpg in a market :)
  1017. [17:16:51] <buZz> i've ordered panasonic phones (about 150 pieces) for 2-3 euros a piece
  1018. [17:17:01] <buZz> just normal POTS phones

  1020. [17:17:16] <koen> I suspect jkridner is spoiled by his cisco phone
  1021. [17:17:35] * jkridner rants at paying for infrastructure twice: once with landline bill and again on DSL bill.
  1022. [17:17:57] <jkridner> down with monopolies!
  1023. [17:18:16] <koen> jkridner: over here I can't order internet-onyl fiber, only internet + POTS, internet + tv or internet + pots + tv
  1024. [17:18:29] * koen has no landline, only dsl
  1025. [17:18:51] <koen> and soon fiber
  1026. [17:19:10] <jkridner> anyway, even if the Arduino article was comparing apples to oranges, a lot of the folks that like apples also like oranges....
  1027. [17:19:12] <koen> I wonder if the 30Mb/s promiss works out
  1028. [17:19:24] <koen> 19:12 * koen has a tincantools trainer attached to his beagleboard xM
  1029. [17:19:27] <jkridner> and I think it is a call to arms on improving the documentation.
  1030. [17:19:44] <jkridner> I want to get it right on the xM this time...
  1031. [17:19:47] <koen> it would have helped if the beagle shipped with an OS on the sd
  1032. [17:20:07] <jkridner> agreed, that is why we'll do it with the xM.
  1033. [17:20:28] * jkridner needs to get the verification instructions to actually match the board.
  1034. [17:20:31] * robtow (~rob@12.156.66.34) Quit (Ping timeout: 276 seconds)
  1035. [17:20:53] <koen> and not make it a huge gpl violation?
  1036. [17:20:56] * jkridner understands *how* to do it and just needs to get it done.
  1037. [17:21:10] <jkridner> obviously.
  1038. [17:21:21] <jkridner> needs to be 100% verified reproducable.
  1039. [17:21:21] <topfs2> os on the sd would be awesome
  1040. [17:21:37] <topfs2> even though it wasn't to hard when you gotten the grip on it
  1041. [17:22:09] <_av500_> jkridner: what you need is a user space demo app that blinks leds and toggles gpios
  1042. [17:22:10] <jkridner> i hope it doesn't discourage the WinCE, MeeGo, Ubuntu, QNX, etc. crowds, but instead just gives them an example to follow.
  1043. [17:22:21] <jkridner> _av500_: absolutely right.
  1044. [17:22:38] <koen> _av500_: I've been thinking about that
  1045. [17:22:46] * jkridner would love if someone wrote the Arduino language for the BeagleBoard, including the bootloader.
  1046. [17:22:47] <_av500_> dont think, code
  1047. [17:23:08] <koen> I has thinking of making the user button blink the led
  1048. [17:23:19] <_av500_> lol
  1049. [17:23:30] <jkridner> I think that kernel hack is useful, but not necessary...
  1050. [17:23:32] <_av500_> $150 well invested
  1051. [17:23:39] <topfs2> seriously though, the blinking 1 led on arduino was seriously helpful when I first used arduino for pwm usage :)
  1052. [17:23:44] <jkridner> just putting into the distro the testbutton script would be good.
  1053. [17:24:09] * jkridner intended to put 'testbutton' into the ESC files, but is constantly distracted.
  1054. [17:24:16] <koen> I wonder what the panda will ship with
  1055. [17:24:26] <jkridner> it is pretty trivial and seems like it belongs in the beagleboard-validation scripts tree.
  1056. [17:24:52] <jkridner> I summarized a bunch of simple test scripts in my ESC presentation, but ran out of time to put the actual scripts in.
  1057. [17:24:55] <koen> hrw and I taught ogra about the ledclass today
  1058. [17:25:15] <koen> so now ubuntu can start blinking leds as well
  1059. [17:25:20] <jkridner> 'testbutton', 'testleds', etc. Just having the command-line scripts be right there will educate people.
  1060. [17:25:35] <jkridner> koen: excellent.
  1061. [17:26:13] <jkridner> adding other events to the kernel driver is handy, but just getting people aware of all the sysfs stuff is huge.
  1062. [17:26:23] <jkridner> and even evtest.
  1063. [17:26:34] <jkridner> the i2c tools to...
  1064. [17:26:40] <jkridner> just to read the edid...
  1065. [17:26:56] <jkridner> I finally learned enough to change the timing in the DSS at run-time....
  1066. [17:27:08] <jkridner> and it is possible to read the EDID....
  1067. [17:27:35] <jkridner> so, writing a script that would autoconfigure the DSS and framebuffer for the highest resolution of a monitor is pretty straight-forward.

  1073. [17:29:47] <koen> use a boot.scr
  1074. [17:29:54] <koen> saving vars is overrated

  1098. [18:08:39] <josh1> sorry
  1099. [18:09:04] <josh1> so u-boot automagically does a fatload u-boot.scr?
  1100. [18:09:28] <jkridner> I'm not 100% sure how it is in the mainline u-boot, but I'm 99% sure that the mainline beagleboard u-boot default boot command will look for boot.scr in the first FAT partition of an SD card.
  1101. [18:09:35] <jkridner> make that 99.999999% sure.
  1102. [18:09:51] <jkridner> not so magic, just part of the default boot environment...
  1103. [18:10:08] <jkridner> if there is something set in the environment variables of the NAND, all bets are off.
  1104. [18:10:54] <jkridner> I believe 'nand erase 260000 20000' will erase the environment variables, but please check that address before typing the command into your board.

  1122. [18:13:55] <jkridner> always nice to get mentioned in Wired.
  1123. [18:13:58] <jedix> I have neither, I onl;y have a gumstix and an omap4
  1124. [18:15:36] <jedix> I think beagle would be more successful wiht a more opened sgx driver
  1125. [18:15:57] <koen> if someone has 100 million usd to spare, they can talk to img
  1126. [18:16:53] <jedix> yeah :/
  1127. [18:17:14] <koen> sadly arm mali isn't any better
  1128. [18:17:46] <jedix> then they can stop by nvidia on the way to the private jet and fix that one too

  1130. [18:18:33] <koen> hopefully with get a openGL2.1 with kms/dri/gallium soon

  1148. [18:21:58] <koen> CCO is a big part of the reason why the beagle has been $149 all the time with memory prices going up from time to time
  1149. [18:22:03] <Redb3ard> Would be a variant, probably less ram, slower cpu to save cash.
  1150. [18:22:23] <Redb3ard> We'd leave off the multimedia ports, stuff like that.

  1158. [18:23:28] <koen> I suspect CCO has tons of stock for those
  1159. [18:23:42] <topfs2> personally I must say I prefer gles over gl :)
  1160. [18:23:49] <topfs2> much nicer api IMO
  1161. [18:24:03] <koen> topfs2: gles2 is like gl3
  1162. [18:24:05] <topfs2> still, hard to beat portability with apps of the normal gl
  1163. [18:24:09] <Redb3ard> And the other is a small shop, and the only one that can talk us is backpacking through Europe for the next 3 weeks.
  1164. [18:24:15] <jkridner> topfs2: it is the appropriate useful subset, but compatibility is a nice thing.
  1165. [18:24:28] <koen> I like that it removes all the cruft, but notmuch supports gles
  1166. [18:24:40] <topfs2> yeah, and alot of the actions are alot easier in gles2.0. Like framebuffer stuff
  1167. [18:25:21] <topfs2> it is abit harsher learning curve but when your over that initial bump its way simpler than that of gl
  1168. [18:25:28] <Redb3ard> Though, there's alot going for the Beagleboard too. I've already got working circuits for some of our spi/i2c peripherals.
  1169. [18:26:50] <topfs2> For beagle though I guess normal gl would make a tad more sense. No problem wrapping gles in normal gl
  1170. [18:27:34] <MostAwesomeDude> FYI we are adding full GLES to Mesa. Now if only hardware vendors would give up some docs.
  1171. [18:27:58] <topfs2> oh, with sw fallbacks?
  1172. [18:28:38] <koen> MostAwesomeDude: I noticed, I had to disable it so mesa would stop creating a libEGL.so :)
  1173. [18:28:49] <koen> actually, :(
  1174. [18:28:53] <Redb3ard> Hey Koen, let me ask you something dumb please... could the usb hub ic on the xm be switched out for another that does 7 usb ports? In theory?
  1175. [18:29:31] <jkridner> Redb3ard: since when does koen answer hardware questions? :)
  1176. [18:29:35] <MostAwesomeDude> koen: Yeah, sorry. If it makes you feel better, at least two ARM chipsets have open-source drivers being worked on. :3
  1177. [18:30:15] <koen> MostAwesomeDude: which ones?
  1178. [18:30:28] <koen> Redb3ard: like jkridner, I'm not a hw guy (even if I'm supposed to be)
  1179. [18:30:33] <topfs2> MostAwesomeDude, I'm not very knowledgable with mesa but would that mean on desktops one could have a normal gl card and gles stuff available through mesa?
  1180. [18:30:40] <MostAwesomeDude> koen: Pollux and ?????
  1181. [18:31:01] <MostAwesomeDude> topfs2: Yep. It works fairly well too.
  1182. [18:31:07] <topfs2> awesome indeed!
  1183. [18:31:17] <topfs2> Would help developing gles applications alot!
  1184. [18:31:29] <topfs2> then you can do them on the workstation and just try them on the beagle
  1185. [18:31:38] * jkridner was a hardware guy in a past life, but I don't know all the important chipsets to answer such a question (or any ones for the last 5-10 years for that matter).
  1186. [18:31:48] <koen> MostAwesomeDude: can we use gallium to translate gl to gles?
  1187. [18:32:04] <topfs2> koen, there exists wrappers. imgtech have one iirc
  1188. [18:32:10] <koen> I know

  1191. [18:32:28] <koen> but these 'state trackers' look promissing

  1193. [18:32:33] <jkridner> Redb3ard: I think the answer is that you can connect USB peripherals to the USB bus. You'd have to check the footprint, power requirements, etc., etc., etc.
  1194. [18:32:36] <koen> topfs2: I meant the other way around
  1195. [18:32:37] <jedix> is there a better res screen than the 480 one?
  1196. [18:32:47] <koen> topfs2: use GL api to talk to the SGX
  1197. [18:32:59] <topfs2> oh, Hmm, sounds like something that should be possible
  1198. [18:33:11] <koen> my C4 beagle is doing 1080p30 now on my TV
  1199. [18:33:13] <topfs2> not sure through mesa, though
  1200. [18:33:24] <koen> I like to kill my memory bw
  1201. [18:33:40] <jedix> I meant touch screen
  1202. [18:33:43] <jedix> sorry
  1203. [18:33:43] <topfs2> cool you got it working!
  1204. [18:33:49] <MostAwesomeDude> koen: I don't know of anything like that that's not on an ad-hoc basis.
  1205. [18:33:54] <topfs2> do you know how much bw you have left koen?
  1206. [18:34:01] <MostAwesomeDude> I don't want to support that kind of stuff. I'd rather just have real, open drivers for SGX.
  1207. [18:34:33] <jedix> I'm willing to donate 10$ to get the drivers opened.
  1208. [18:34:39] <topfs2> MostAwesomeDude, if it were open would it then be possible to write code for both normal gl and gles and it should work?
  1209. [18:34:54] <MostAwesomeDude> topfs2: If it were open, and in Mesa, then GL and GLES would both run through the same driver.
  1210. [18:35:09] <koen> topfs2: little, 1920*1080*32*30
  1211. [18:35:10] <topfs2> then I think I'll donate 10$ aswell :)
  1212. [18:35:17] <DValle> does anyone know what the latest is on xM? is av500 here? :D
  1213. [18:35:27] <jedix> doesn't gl require better hardware than gles?
  1214. [18:35:45] <koen> topfs2: that's 250MB/s just for framebuffer
  1215. [18:35:53] <topfs2> jedix, you just need to have some sw fallbacks afaik
  1216. [18:36:13] <jedix> that won't be as fast
  1217. [18:36:42] <topfs2> with neon might not be to slow :)
  1218. [18:36:52] <topfs2> I'd assume its mostly the matrix stuff thats missing?

  1221. [18:37:15] * topfs2 painfully aware of that now :(
  1222. [18:37:16] <koen> you need something newer than 125 to get 0 fallbacks

  1227. [18:37:58] <koen> topfs2: 530 with 121 or 125 core
  1228. [18:38:06] <topfs2> ah ok
  1229. [18:38:06] <koen> omap4 is 540
  1230. [18:38:07] <jedix> 540 is omap4 country
  1231. [18:38:21] <topfs2> now the 540 looks rather sweat
  1232. [18:38:21] <koen> omap4 runs it at 300MHz
  1233. [18:38:24] <jedix> omap4 beagleboard would be nice
  1234. [18:38:35] <koen> it's called pandaboard
  1235. [18:38:39] <jedix> not ready yet though :/
  1236. [18:38:42] <koen> but it isn't done by the beagle people
  1237. [18:39:55] <Redb3ard> I'll have to look at it.

  1247. [18:41:23] <koen> topfs2: mru know the real numbers
  1248. [18:41:32] <koen> jkridner: could be, I only tested it briefly
  1249. [18:41:39] <jedix> "The new BeagleBoard XM will have a 1 GHz ARM Cortex A8 and handles 720p encoding and decoding of H.264 or MPEG-4"
  1250. [18:41:56] <jedix> but you have it at 1080p with the 256mb version, right koen?
  1251. [18:42:15] <koen> the cynical side of me notes that there's no mention of framerate of h264 profile
  1252. [18:42:28] <jedix> hehe
  1253. [18:42:29] <koen> jedix: works on the 128MB version as well
  1254. [18:42:38] <jedix> real time 5fps decoding.
  1255. [18:42:48] <jedix> :P
  1256. [18:42:57] <topfs2> koen, wiki states 500Mpx/s@200mhz, what did your runs at?
  1257. [18:43:26] <koen> I heard rumours of 720p30 h264 MP decode, not sure if those are true
  1258. [18:43:39] <koen> topfs2: I meant ram bw
  1259. [18:43:42] <koen> not sgx bw
  1260. [18:44:21] <koen> although those are tightly coupled of course
  1261. [18:45:00] <topfs2> Just wondered how much bw was left, seems like a close call though
  1262. [18:45:11] <topfs2> Probably never will see xbmc in 1080p :)
  1263. [18:45:22] <koen> the xbmc trac has some comments from the tegra dudes
  1264. [18:45:26] <koen> hey want 1080p60

  1375. [20:32:09] <mru> straight whisky is better than rum
  1376. [20:32:12] <mru> imo
  1377. [20:32:20] <mru> rum can be nice in cocktails
  1378. [20:32:54] <ghoti> djlewis!

  1380. [20:33:15] <ghoti> So ... thank you. :)
  1381. [20:33:22] <mru> ghoti: send him a crate of beer
  1382. [20:33:35] <mru> or send it to me, I'll forward it... muahahaha

  1386. [20:36:49] <ghoti> Question: the USB disconnect issue on C2/C3 boards mentioned in the system manual "known issues" section... The workaround says "Some boards can be fixed by ...". Which boards?
  1387. [20:37:02] <ghoti> Are there multiple issues that cause this symptom?
  1388. [20:37:56] <emeb> ghoti: problem is due to varying sensitivity of USB phy to noisy supply.
  1389. [20:38:11] <emeb> I tried cap fix on my C2 w/o luck
  1390. [20:38:24] <Redb3ard> I think the guy that does our rework is getting pissed that I keep sending them back for modifications.
  1391. [20:38:27] <emeb> others report success
  1392. [20:38:56] <emeb> Redb3ard: if the rework guy is tired of rework perhaps he needs a different job?
  1393. [20:39:05] <Redb3ard> Haha.
  1394. [20:39:13] <Redb3ard> Nah, he's ok.
  1395. [20:39:38] <Redb3ard> They sure as hell don't want me doing it, he does some really fine work.
  1396. [20:40:02] <ghoti> emeb: "supply" == "power supply"? Might it reduce the failures I'm seeing to get a better/cleaner power source?
  1397. [20:40:22] <emeb> ghoti: nope
  1398. [20:40:49] <emeb> the supply in question is sourced on-board and the PCB traces aren't accessible.
  1399. [20:41:59] <ghoti> Ah - inner layers I guess. So ... where on the expansion header would be the other option than C97? I'm a little scared of applying my soldering skills to surface mount components.
  1400. [20:43:03] <emeb> ghoti: some have suggested adding a cap between the 1.8V and GND pins of the expansion connector. Check the BB ref manual for exact pins.
  1401. [20:43:43] <emeb> I haven't tried this myself, but don't hold much hope that it would help me since doubling up C97 didn't work.
  1402. [20:47:45] <djlewis_> ghoti: np
  1403. [20:48:23] <ghoti> emeb: I ask because the reference manual only says "Others have had success by adding the 22uF capacitor to the expansion header."
  1404. [20:48:26] <ghoti> No pins.

  1407. [20:53:11] <emeb> BTW - pins are: 1.8V = pin 1, GND = pins 27, 28.

  1410. [20:53:40] <emeb> distance between them is fairly long, so keep your cap leads as short as possible.
  1411. [20:54:03] <emeb> otherwise parasitic inductance will reduce effectiveness.
  1412. [20:54:32] <djlewis_> ooh, i hates parasitic inductance :(
  1413. [20:55:20] <emeb> usually a PITA. Sometimes it's helpful, but then you don't call it parasitic. :)

  1447. [21:21:56] <vj> what options do I have
  1448. [21:21:59] <vj> ?
  1449. [21:22:07] <ghoti> vj: you can probably buy a USB-to-serial device for about $10.
  1450. [21:22:07] <emeb> usb/serial converter
  1451. [21:22:32] <ghoti> At least, that's what they cost at the local shop here in Toronto...
  1452. [21:22:32] <vj> couls someone point me to a reliable site from where I may purchase one
  1453. [21:22:38] <djlewis_> we have those but only one has a guy trying to keep parts
  1454. [21:22:38] <ghoti> vj, where are you?
  1455. [21:22:40] <emeb> http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.5859
  1456. [21:22:55] <vj> I am in the US, KS
  1457. [21:23:06] <vj> I am so mixed up:(
  1458. [21:23:16] <emeb> my kind of people. :)
  1459. [21:23:22] <ghoti> emeb, wow, I hadn't seen that. I guess anything available in a local store is available at a third the price from DE. :)
  1460. [21:23:22] <vj> some of these cables seem to have voltage restrictions
  1461. [21:23:44] <emeb> ghoti: if you can wait for shipping DX is your friend
  1462. [21:23:44] <ghoti> vj: you're looking for a serial interface; this won't be used to power the board.
  1463. [21:24:03] <vj> hmm...
  1464. [21:24:05] <vj> I see
  1465. [21:24:11] <vj> Also,
  1466. [21:24:16] <vj> what about the drivers
  1467. [21:24:29] <vj> on the host side for the DX connecter
  1468. [21:24:30] <vj> ?
  1469. [21:24:51] <ghoti> ya, it's always the delay that gets me - I'm not patient. Luckily, the local electronics surplus stores are excellent. http://www.activesurplus.com/ :-) I've been going there since I was 5.
  1470. [21:25:27] <vj> on the host side for the DX connector, what about the drivers ?
  1471. [21:25:35] <ghoti> vj: most operating systems will already support a USB serial device.
  1472. [21:25:47] <vj> hmm..
  1473. [21:26:07] <ghoti> At least, I've never had a problem with any one I've tried, and I use FreeBSD, where hardware support arrives second-last.
  1474. [21:26:19] <vj> no additional software would be needed on the Beagle to support the converter ?
  1475. [21:26:59] <vj> am I correct
  1476. [21:27:26] <vj> As long as I have Angstrom runnig, it should be fine right ?
  1477. [21:27:43] <djlewis_> ghoti: my kinda store :)
  1478. [21:28:02] <vj> ghoti: As long as I have Angstrom runnig, it should be fine right ?
  1479. [21:28:07] <djlewis_> actually I dont play games
  1480. [21:29:01] <vj> :(
  1481. [21:29:10] <emeb> vj: the USB/serial converter needs no drivers on Beagle side
  1482. [21:29:20] <vj> ah thanks...
  1483. [21:29:39] <emeb> the one from DX comes with a driver on mini-CD
  1484. [21:29:43] <emeb> but I haven't needed it.
  1485. [21:29:52] <vj> Any links on a suitable power supply for the BB ?
  1486. [21:29:55] <djlewis_> emeb: except when useing the usb side on BB ;)
  1487. [21:30:20] <vj> djlewis: I understand
  1488. [21:30:25] <emeb> vj: for PS I'm using one I already had
  1489. [21:30:49] <emeb> djlewis_: heh - but the pl23xx chip drivers are already in the kernel on my linux box.
  1490. [21:31:26] <vj> Where can I purchase the power supply from ?
  1491. [21:31:40] <emeb> vj: digi-key or special computing.
  1492. [21:32:18] <ghoti> vj: or any local electronic parts store, most likely. Even Future Shop might have 5V power supplies, but I recommend you go some place where you can test them with a volt meter before you buy.
  1493. [21:32:21] <vj> on digi-key there seems to be a number of them
  1494. [21:32:40] <ghoti> vj: the tolerence of the BB is fairly limited - some documentation says it'll accept from 4.8V to 5.2V.
  1495. [21:32:45] <vj> Could you point me to an appropriate one
  1496. [21:32:47] <vj> ?

  1506. [21:35:43] <emeb> looks like the 5.5mm one is labeled for the Beagle - the 2.3mm is for a USB hub.
  1507. [21:35:56] <vj> aah okies
  1508. [21:36:00] <ghoti> vj, I'm pretty sure you'll find alot of this stuff in the manual, just in case folks here are busy doing other things.

  1570. [21:50:56] <cwillu_at_work> also, I recommend the use of http://search.digikey.com/scripts/DkSearch/dksus.dll?WT.z_header=search_go&lang=en&site=us&keywords=385-1032-ND&x=0&y=0

  1572. [21:51:15] <cwillu_at_work> it's actual slc flash with a decent controller
  1573. [21:51:43] <cwillu_at_work> I should probably post my parts list somewhere :p
  1574. [21:51:54] <emeb> Ah - the magic gold-plated SD cards of wonder and delight!
  1575. [21:51:58] <cwillu_at_work> no gold on them :p
  1576. [21:52:06] <emeb> not even on the contacts?
  1577. [21:52:10] <cwillu_at_work> did you see my disassembly pics?
  1578. [21:52:14] <emeb> yep
  1579. [21:52:25] <cwillu_at_work> hmm, actually I'm not sure re: the contacts
  1580. [21:52:30] <cwillu_at_work> might be, might also just be copper
  1581. [21:52:37] <emeb> I think that gold is in the spec.
  1582. [21:52:38] <cwillu_at_work> the pleasures of colourblindness
  1583. [21:53:04] <emeb> wouldn't want an active metal on an exposed surface.
  1584. [21:53:33] <emeb> digi-key photo looks like gold to me.
  1585. [21:54:28] <vj> But, I should be able to power the BB with a OTG cable ?
  1586. [21:54:49] <cwillu_at_work> vj, yes
  1587. [21:55:01] <vj> nice
  1588. [21:55:12] <cwillu_at_work> although the amount of power available is lower; an attached hub will definitely need its own power supply, for instance
  1589. [21:55:19] <djlewis_> not necessarily, the newer kernels require more power
  1590. [21:55:40] <djlewis_> regarding otg power ^^^^^^
  1591. [21:55:59] <vj> cwillu_at_work: I just purchased this.. Should be fine right ? http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.5859
  1592. [21:56:12] <cwillu_at_work> djlewis_, I've been powering a beagle runnin 2.6.35 over the otg port
  1593. [21:56:28] <djlewis_> there are some low power versions.

  1597. [21:57:17] <djlewis_> how many times have I heard koen say, use external DC in power or something like that :)
  1598. [21:57:20] <cwillu_at_work> http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0AjvCD1aUQOjKdGR5Q0FFZXlUNjRpQWNRazgxaS11TUE&hl=en
  1599. [21:57:23] <cwillu_at_work> yep
  1600. [21:57:35] <cwillu_at_work> I don't recommend it either, but it works in a pinch :p
  1601. [21:57:57] <cwillu_at_work> the links didn't come across, but those are all digikey part numbers
  1602. [21:58:13] <djlewis_> whoop out american express
  1603. [21:58:46] <vj> Was the "yep" for my question ?

  1605. [22:00:16] <cwillu_at_work> oh, sorry, didn't see you
  1606. [22:00:18] <cwillu_at_work> one sec, I'll check

  1609. [22:01:02] <cwillu_at_work> vj_, didn't see the question before, checking now
  1610. [22:01:15] <cwillu_at_work> it probably would though
  1611. [22:01:34] <vj_> hmm....
  1612. [22:01:51] <vj_> Thanks a lot everyone..!! The IRC really feels a lot comforting
  1613. [22:01:54] <vj_> :)
  1614. [22:02:04] <vj_> to help resolve BB issues I meant
  1615. [22:02:12] <cwillu_at_work> vj_, http://lwn.net/Articles/246334/
  1616. [22:02:18] <cwillu_at_work> looks like the driver was added in 2007
  1617. [22:02:37] <cwillu_at_work> so, worst case you'll need to compile the kernel module
  1618. [22:02:40] <vj_> Is this the one being used on that product ?
  1619. [22:02:53] <cwillu_at_work> according to a user on your link, yes
  1620. [22:02:58] <vj_> cwillu_at_work: How did you find out ?
  1621. [22:03:03] <vj_> Oh ok
  1622. [22:03:05] <vj_> hmm
  1623. [22:03:11] <cwillu_at_work> vj_, check if you have a ch341.ko
  1624. [22:03:38] <cwillu_at_work> vj_, that's for your desktop, right?
  1625. [22:03:43] <emeb> cwillu_at_work: in your spreadsheet, what's the 2.1mm plug for?
  1626. [22:04:02] * cwillu_at_work sighs at emeb
  1627. [22:04:04] <cwillu_at_work> I didn't...
  1628. [22:04:10] <cwillu_at_work> one sec :p
  1629. [22:04:15] <vj_> cwillu_at_work: Yeah I plan on connecting the USB end to my Desktop and the serial to the BB

  1638. [22:06:31] <cwillu_at_work> emeb, I think I just mislabled the spreadsheet

  1643. [22:09:29] <cwillu_at_work> emeb, the r/a plug is just to have a nice right-angle, snipping off the original plug on the supply
  1644. [22:10:20] <emeb> gotcha. kids - don't try this at home. :)
  1645. [22:10:35] <cwillu_at_work> uh, it's a dc plug :p
  1646. [22:11:06] <emeb> understood, but as sure as shootin' someone's gonna reverse the polarity & fry their BB
  1647. [22:11:06] <cwillu_at_work> try it at home, that's the point :)
  1648. [22:11:23] <cwillu_at_work> emeb, somebody could just as easily buy a power supply with inverted polarity ;p
  1649. [22:11:42] <emeb> cwillu_at_work: yep, or get confused by the schematic
  1650. [22:11:51] <cwillu_at_work> the wire on the supply and on the r/a plug have the negative line marked
  1651. [22:11:55] <cwillu_at_work> most dc adapters do, actually
  1652. [22:12:45] <emeb> indeed.
