| 01:41.29 | T0mW | this is odd, I can see the problem with the ethernet now: tx works fine, tcpdump shows that. RX though has a sticky-bit, bit6 (0x40) bobbles high sometimes. |
| 01:41.35 | T0mW | all other bits are fine, except for bit6 |
| 01:42.13 | T0mW | if there is going to be an error, it is bit six being a "1" someplace in the packet field. |

| 16:44.38 | T0mW | prpplague: the ethernet on the littlechips board is now rock solid. |
| 16:46.59 | T0mW | prpplague: turns out that the processor is too fast for the cs8900a and you cannot slow down the access cycle, esp. the read cycle, so, they implemented the IOCHKRDY line to the s3c2410 WAIT. |
| 16:47.35 | T0mW | prpplague: I didn't have the external wait activated in BWSCON of the s3c2410 |
| 16:51.16 | jbevren | T0mW: aha |
| 16:51.29 | jbevren | T0mW: I think about that sort of thing quite a bit, I guess I should have guessed at that |
| 16:51.40 | jbevren | (I'm constantly thinking of using a c64 as a console for an arm sbc) |
| 16:52.01 | jbevren | just map the c64's memory space into the cpu with appropriate wait states and go |
| 16:52.17 | prpplague | T0mW: ahhhhhh |
| 16:52.52 | prpplague | T0mW: so hows apex working for ya? |
| 16:52.59 | prpplague | T0mW: sent patches to marc yet? |
| 16:53.27 | T0mW | jbevren: I could see bit6 would not go to a zero often when it should have (tcpdump & rxbuffer dump). It kept looking like a buscycle prob of some kind, maybe even a bus contention. |
| 16:54.12 | T0mW | prpplague: naw, I figure that I spent this much time on the cs8900, I might as well implement it in apex and get tftp working with it. |
| 16:54.38 | prpplague | T0mW: ahh |
| 16:55.42 | T0mW | prpplague: cs8900 is such a simple chip, that is what was driving me nuts, I couldn't understand what possibly could be wrong. I was even checking a change to the MMU mapping to see if that was good. heh |

| 17:04.32 | prpplague | T0mW: you can add atag's for that or even add a kernel command line |
| 17:04.46 | T0mW | prpplague: maybe I should see where the bootrom maps to in the mmu |

| 17:05.18 | prpplague | T0mW: we use mtd drivers |
| 17:05.25 | T0mW | bleah |
| 17:05.47 | T0mW | I just never did learn wtf mtd was about. |
| 17:06.13 | T0mW | prpplague: probably would be the sanest way to go about it. |
| 17:06.19 | prpplague | T0mW: basically it just makes block devices out of flash |
| 17:06.31 | T0mW | nod |
| 17:06.46 | T0mW | prpplague: well, that is another subsystem to get working then, heh |
| 17:07.11 | prpplague | hehe |
| 17:07.25 | T0mW | prpplague: the NAND chip on the board is what interests me the most, an integrated filesystem. |
| 17:08.00 | T0mW | prpplague: I'd like to mount that as a block device, drive. |
| 17:08.42 | prpplague | T0mW: yea, its fully supported by the mtd drivers |
| 17:08.49 | prpplague | T0mW: you can run jffs2 on there |
| 17:08.50 | T0mW | prpplague: ah me, the board has so many "goodies" on it! |
| 17:09.02 | prpplague | T0mW: told ya |
| 17:09.40 | T0mW | prpplague: there is no wearing algorithm in that nand controller? |
| 17:10.16 | prpplague | T0mW: correct |
| 17:10.24 | T0mW | drat |
| 17:10.35 | prpplague | T0mW: no crc or anything else for data verification |
| 17:10.51 | T0mW | nod, then it would need the jffs2 then. |
| 17:10.59 | prpplague | T0mW: techincally the s3c2410 doesn't have a nand controller |
| 17:11.20 | T0mW | ah, then it is merely an electrical interface. |
| 17:11.30 | prpplague | T0mW: yea |
| 17:11.38 | prpplague | T0mW: there are some arm chips that do have controllers |
| 17:11.43 | prpplague | T0mW: but the s3c2410 isn't one of them |
| 17:12.00 | T0mW | prpplague: I thought that they implemented a full controller with IDE control register structures. |
| 17:12.13 | prpplague | T0mW: nope |
| 17:12.28 | prpplague | T0mW: maybe for the cf slot |
| 17:12.33 | prpplague | T0mW: but not for the nand flash |
| 17:12.48 | T0mW | well, cf / mmc is integral |
| 17:12.55 | prpplague | T0mW: ?? |
| 17:13.21 | T0mW | cf / mmc have their own integrated nand controllers + wearing algorithms |
| 17:13.29 | prpplague | T0mW: correct |
| 17:14.48 | T0mW | I have yet to look at the mmc interface on this board. that will have to be done as well, lot of time is going to be spent implementing this baord. At least mbuf, and developers of the smdk24x0 boards, have shown the general path to follow. |
| 17:15.03 | jbevren | tom: you -hope- they have their own wear leveling |
| 17:15.33 | T0mW | jbevren: sandisk and lexar do, the cheap cheap stuff is questionable. |
| 17:15.51 | prpplague | T0mW: yea, the sd/mmc controller on the s3c2410 is supported in the newer kernels |
| 17:16.00 | prpplague | T0mW: so you should be able to get good support out of that |
| 17:16.10 | jbevren | T0mW: indeed ;-) |
| 17:17.09 | T0mW | good, yeah, I see that the s3c2410_fb is "in there" as well. I will have to double check regsiter values for the LCD controller between the kernel that works vs the one I'm building, then move on from there. |

| 17:18.26 | T0mW | prpplague: pretty cool, now that I've figured out more about the way the MMU remaps the cpu register fields, to be able to stop the system via jtag, then diddle with the register values and then let the kernel continue running. :) |
| 17:18.52 | T0mW | I still find the MMU intimidating though |
| 17:19.48 | prpplague | T0mW: why do it via jtag? |
| 17:19.59 | prpplague | T0mW: much easier to do it from serial console |
| 17:20.23 | T0mW | prpplague: I dunno what that is |
| 17:20.39 | prpplague | T0mW: you are booting up and getting a serial console right? |
| 17:20.45 | T0mW | correct |
| 17:21.05 | prpplague | T0mW: you have a copy of devmem2.c ? |
| 17:21.23 | T0mW | I don't recognize what that is. |
| 17:22.05 | prpplague | T0mW: http://www.lartmaker.nl/lartware/port/devmem2.c |
| 17:22.17 | T0mW | prpplague: I can stop the system, halt via my jtag unit, then md (memory display) and then cut & paste the dump onto the printer. |
| 17:22.19 | prpplague | T0mW: just a small app that does the memory map from inside linux |
| 17:22.38 | prpplague | T0mW: makes tweaking and checking values a snap from inside linux |
| 17:23.00 | prpplague | T0mW: i often use a version of devmem2 to script test interfaces before coding the driver |
| 17:23.10 | T0mW | do that for both units and compare the lcd config register values, even run a diff on them . |
| 17:23.55 | prpplague | T0mW: yea, you can boot up their working version, dump the regs using devmem2 |
| 17:24.05 | prpplague | T0mW: then test them on your version |
| 17:25.10 | T0mW | prpplague: thanks, I bookmarked the source. |
| 17:25.47 | prpplague | T0mW: trust me, if you do linux dev you want a copy of devmem2 in your rootfs |
| 17:27.52 | T0mW | ok |
| 17:29.02 | prpplague | T0mW: with devmem2 you can specify the physical address, and devmem2 takes care of the mapping |
| 17:29.15 | prpplague | T0mW: so if you needed to check the display , 0x4d000000 |
| 17:29.19 | prpplague | T0mW: thats all you need |
| 17:29.31 | prpplague | T0mW: you don;t have to worry about mmu mapping |
| 17:29.52 | prpplague | T0mW: i.e. ./devmem2 0x4d000000 |
| 17:30.00 | prpplague | T0mW: that would display the contents |
| 17:30.11 | prpplague | T0mW: if you wanted to store a value just do |
| 17:30.16 | T0mW | ok, I'll mess with it |
| 17:30.27 | prpplague | T0mW: i.e. ./devmem 0x4d000000 w 0x00008225 |
| 17:30.58 | T0mW | would probably be simpler than reading map.h to see where the registers are mapped to then |
| 17:31.14 | prpplague | yea |

| 17:31.54 | prpplague | man we are getting hammered |
| 17:32.11 | jbevren | prpplague: any webcams active in barbados? |
| 17:32.19 | prpplague | hmm, don't know |

| 17:33.44 | jbevren | looks like a lull |
| 17:34.10 | jbevren | man |
| 17:34.15 | prpplague | jbevren: north side of the island, it hasn't hit yet |
| 17:34.15 | jbevren | you guys are spoiled |
| 17:34.17 | jbevren | covered docs |
| 17:34.19 | jbevren | docs |
| 17:34.22 | jbevren | grr docKs |
| 17:34.25 | jbevren | ahh |
| 17:34.41 | jbevren | a couple cams are plenty wet |
| 17:35.30 | jbevren | http://www.nibblecs.com/Nibble/METEOSTATION/default.asp |
| 17:35.31 | jbevren | lotsa wind there |
| 17:35.31 | prpplague | jbevren: thats the north west end of the island |
| 17:35.32 | jbevren | villa ernesta |
| 17:35.41 | prpplague | really rich area |
| 17:40.33 | prpplague | ho ho hum |
| 17:42.26 | jbevren | but at least youre still online right? |
| 17:42.52 | prpplague | yea which is something |
| 17:43.05 | prpplague | jbevren: most of the time when it rains heavy i loose my broadband |
| 17:43.16 | jbevren | is barbados' internet a landline? |
| 17:44.45 | prpplague | jbevren: no, we are on a underwater fiber from miami |
| 17:45.05 | prpplague | jbevren: 4 redundant lines |
| 17:45.24 | prpplague | jbevren: basically its a circle around the gulf of mexico |
| 17:47.17 | prpplague | jbevren: most of the carib does stuff like this - http://www.caribbeancrossings.com/ |
| 17:48.35 | prpplague | jbevren: we are on a portion of the arcos - http://www.nwncable.com/page.asp?c=3&s=0&l=1 |
| 17:49.08 | prpplague | jbevren: several loops between sanjuan and curcao |
| 17:51.52 | jbevren | prpplague: that would be alandline |
| 17:51.54 | jbevren | vs a sat link |
| 17:52.41 | prpplague | jbevren: hehe |
| 17:52.56 | prpplague | jbevren: sorry just didn't think of it that way |
| 17:53.33 | jbevren | hehe |
| 17:53.40 | jbevren | no, I dont think youre on dialup |
| 17:58.25 | Genesis | a+ |
| 17:58.57 | prpplague | ?? |
| 17:59.01 | prpplague | what was that |
| 18:02.21 | jbevren | our grade I hope |
