| 00:17.22 | prpplague | GPSFan: you will also need a change to the following files, arch/arm/mach-s3c2410/mach-tct_hammer.c |

| 00:18.23 | prpplague | GPSFan: those changes will go away when the enc28j60 goes with the spi subsystem |

| 01:46.50 | prpplague | yea, thats a fpga, so far we are on the only ones to offer a device that runs linux in a 40-dip with the kind of power of an arm9 |
| 01:47.01 | prpplague | most others in the same package are arm7tdmi |
| 01:47.12 | prpplague | hehe |

| 01:50.42 | prpplague | GPSFan: did you do any more enc28j60 testing this evening? |
| 01:50.49 | joe_bleau | Well, I read the logs. I remember it from back in the JuiceBox days. |
| 01:51.35 | prpplague | yea that was the early one based on the LH79520 |

| 03:27.41 | kupesoft | I have a Morieo EZPAD |
| 03:27.44 | kupesoft | an arm umpc, |
| 03:27.53 | kupesoft | from the 2003ish era |
| 03:28.12 | kupesoft | it's pretty garbage, but it has a usb port. How do you think I can get in to it's bios (if it has one) |
| 03:38.09 | MonMotha | find the JTAG lines, if the processor ahs them |
| 03:42.46 | *** join/#edev DrZimmerman (n=theo@2001:5c0:8fff:fffe:0:0:0:6af1) |
| 03:44.09 | kupesoft | yeah, I don't know what that means (; |
| 03:47.44 | MonMotha | IIRC, wikipedia has an article explaining what JTAG is |
| 03:48.51 | kupesoft | I'm just opening the thing up |
| 03:49.54 | MonMotha | is the processor in a leaded package or is it a PGA or chip on board? |
| 03:51.32 | kupesoft | I don't know what that means either |
| 03:51.42 | kupesoft | but it looks like it's going to be hard to hack |
| 03:51.57 | kupesoft | Here's an article on the device: http://the-gadgeteer.com/review/moreio_ezpad_ce_net_device_review |
| 03:52.32 | MonMotha | oh, it's a SA1110 |
| 03:52.36 | MonMotha | that certainly has JTAG |
| 03:52.47 | MonMotha | but it'll be a BGA, so it may not be easy to find the lines |
| 03:53.12 | kupesoft | I'm in soft eng ); |
| 03:53.17 | kupesoft | I was hoping to boot off a usb! |
| 03:54.10 | MonMotha | you won't be able to do that without replacing the bootloader |
| 03:54.14 | MonMotha | you may find HaRET useful, too |
| 03:54.22 | MonMotha | assuming it still has a bootable copy of wince |
| 03:55.10 | kupesoft | Yeah, I'm lying when I say I understand very little of what you're saying |
| 03:55.14 | kupesoft | I appreciate the help, though (; |
| 03:55.23 | MonMotha | google is your friend on this one |
| 03:55.33 | MonMotha | I'd almost be surprised if nobody's done this |
| 03:55.49 | MonMotha | you can almost certainly get linux booted on it |
| 03:56.00 | MonMotha | linux supports the SA1110 pretty well and also supports the SA1111 |
| 03:56.24 | kupesoft | Yeah, but I'll have to delve in to the bowels of this device, |
| 03:56.26 | kupesoft | And use a jtag? |
| 03:56.30 | kupesoft | I've never done that before.. |
| 03:57.04 | MonMotha | you can probably do it without that |
| 03:57.07 | kupesoft | How difficult will all that be? |
| 03:57.11 | kupesoft | What are my steps? |
| 03:57.17 | MonMotha | but if you brick the device with a bad bootloader (and that's likely), you'll need JTAG to unbrick it |
| 03:57.28 | MonMotha | it's usually not overly hard if you know what you're doing |
| 03:58.08 | MonMotha | learning how to do all this stuff is a big ordeal, but not that difficult |
| 04:00.24 | kupesoft | Yeah, I likely don't have the time |
| 04:00.28 | kupesoft | How would I install a new bootloader, |
| 04:00.33 | kupesoft | could I do that from within windows ce? |
| 04:00.41 | MonMotha | well, you start by adding support for your device to an existing one |
| 04:00.45 | MonMotha | then yes, you can do that from Wince |
| 04:00.56 | MonMotha | but if it doesn't boot (and there's a good chance it won't), you'll have a brick |
| 04:01.06 | MonMotha | you can fix that, but you'd need some hardware (something hooked up to the JTAG) |
| 04:03.21 | kupesoft | I think I'm willing to brick this thing |
| 04:03.30 | kupesoft | Thanks for everything, |
| 04:03.39 | kupesoft | I'm'a grab some sleep and get permission to possible brick it tomorrow, |
| 04:04.07 | MonMotha | like I said, you can unbrick it |
| 04:04.11 | MonMotha | but it requires some effort |
| 04:04.17 | MonMotha | I'd recommend finding the JTAG lines *before* you brick it |
| 04:04.43 | kupesoft | What do you think the odds are on bricking it with HaRET? |
| 04:05.31 | MonMotha | I believe HaRET is pretty good about warning you before it does something that might brick things |
| 04:05.40 | MonMotha | you can also boot the kernel directly from HaRET if you like |
| 04:05.50 | MonMotha | but you have to have external storage to put the root filesystem on |
| 04:06.28 | kupesoft | well, thanks good night |

| 13:44.40 | Crofton|home | rofl |
| 13:44.41 | Crofton|home | yeah' |
| 13:45.09 | Crofton|home | the key point is to avoid getting in situations where you need a gun, regardless of your ownership status |
| 13:46.54 | prpplague | chouimat: hehe, i think that was me that asked |
| 13:47.35 | prpplague | Crofton|home: yes that works well for most cases, but if someone breaks into your house, not exactly like you can avoid that situation |
| 13:48.53 | chouimat | prpplague: the thing is here in canada the situation is not that bad because we have some social programs ... like welfare, universal healthcare etc and it seems this help a lot |
| 13:49.56 | prpplague | chouimat: yea that would help for some cases, but even so, i'd never give up my weapons |

| 14:48.43 | prpplague | CosmicPenguin: really? |
| 14:49.09 | CosmicPenguin | you bet |
| 14:49.19 | CosmicPenguin | I'm a huge proponent of organizing things by bus, not by disipline |
| 14:49.25 | prpplague | CosmicPenguin: so my argument is, if you have a pci based network driver, should it be in drivers/pci? |
| 14:49.26 | CosmicPenguin | I would much rather see usb/net and spi/net |
| 14:49.29 | CosmicPenguin | then net/spi and net/usb |
| 14:49.47 | CosmicPenguin | well - PCI is special, I think because there are so many of them |
| 14:50.19 | prpplague | CosmicPenguin: what about the fact that there are usb based network drivers in drivers/net ? |
| 14:50.35 | prpplague | CosmicPenguin: (just taking devils advocate with you, not that i disagree) |
| 14:51.20 | CosmicPenguin | On Wikipedia, people often argue that a certain non-notable article shouldn't be deleted because other articles like it exist |
| 14:51.29 | CosmicPenguin | Thats called the OTHERCRAPEXISTS argument |
| 14:51.46 | CosmicPenguin | There might be drivers in net/usb, but that doesn't make it right |
| 14:52.09 | CosmicPenguin | The thing about the kernel is - you have to be happy with the decisions you make the first time, becuase its very hard to change them |
| 14:52.10 | prpplague | hmm |
| 14:52.19 | prpplague | CosmicPenguin: agreed |
| 14:52.23 | CosmicPenguin | driver names and locations have a tendency to persist, even if they are incorrect |
| 14:52.37 | prpplague | CosmicPenguin: it does appear though that the tendency is to place only the master drivers in drivers/spi |
| 14:52.41 | CosmicPenguin | What you need to do is contact the SPI owner and see what they think |

| 14:55.23 | prpplague | yea i usually hesitate emailing directly |
| 14:55.38 | prpplague | CosmicPenguin: thats ok for you, you are a big wig, me... i'm nobody |
| 14:55.48 | CosmicPenguin | bah |
| 14:55.50 | CosmicPenguin | I'm not a big wig |
| 14:56.34 | prpplague | i am curious though how this is going to work, because i have to register as both a spi device and a network device |
| 14:57.13 | CosmicPenguin | similar to a SD device / block device, or a USB device / net device, though |
| 14:57.24 | CosmicPenguin | bus and function are designed to be integrated |
| 14:58.23 | prpplague | indeed, just no examples right now to follow |
| 14:58.56 | CosmicPenguin | SD is the best analog |
| 15:00.32 | prpplague | CosmicPenguin: yea, there are a few spi based sd/mmc drivers in the works, iirc its actually in the 2.6.23-rc's |
| 15:01.04 | CosmicPenguin | so, I'm saying that the SD / block or SDIO/net would be good examples to use |
| 15:01.24 | CosmicPenguin | or anything in the USB tree |
| 15:01.43 | prpplague | CosmicPenguin: oh, i mean there are very few spi based examples |
| 15:01.56 | CosmicPenguin | right |
| 15:01.59 | CosmicPenguin | but it will work the same |
| 15:02.13 | prpplague | CosmicPenguin: not the same, but similiar, hehe |
| 15:04.02 | prpplague | CosmicPenguin: but the trend i'm seeing in spi based drivers is to put them in their relative component dir, i.e. temp sensor goes in hwmon and eeprom goes into mtd |
| 15:06.14 | prpplague | CosmicPenguin: wish there was a better way to submit patches and communicate with the main kernel maintainers, alot of fixes never show up in the kernel just because people can't get the time to deal with all the @#$% |

| 15:29.18 | GPSFan | prpplague: ok, how about removing some of the printk's or integrating tehm into a debug framework? |
| 15:30.06 | prpplague | GPSFan: yea, thats on the agenda, but i probably won't do that till i finish up with the spi conversion |

| 15:39.13 | prpplague | that patch is uptodate on the missing beeper-gpio as well as the changes in the flash layout |
| 15:39.33 | GPSFan | does it have the gph0 vs gph1 change? |
| 15:39.36 | *** join/#edev Crofton (n=balister@hc6521718.dhcp.vt.edu) |
| 15:39.59 | prpplague | GPSFan: no, the code hasn't change from yesterday when i posted it |
| 15:40.06 | prpplague | GPSFan: it is still configured for GPH1 |
| 15:41.39 | GPSFan | ok, I think I'll re do the wiki page about the enc28j60 and explain that and link to that patch vs. the individual pieces I uploaded. |
| 15:42.05 | prpplague | GPSFan: i wondered why you had posted them seperately |
| 15:43.12 | GPSFan | because they had the gph0 change, and you hadn't posted the full patch to the wiki yet, although we might have been working on it at the same time. |
| 15:45.09 | prpplague | GPSFan: the full patch was on the wiki |
| 15:45.14 | prpplague | GPSFan: thats how you got it |
| 15:45.15 | prpplague | hehe |
| 15:45.44 | GPSFan | yeah, but the Hammer_Board_Software page wasn't there IIRC, |
| 15:47.01 | prpplague | GPSFan: no but the patch was on the Hammer_Board page originally yesterday, thats where you grabbed it from |
| 15:48.17 | GPSFan | oh well, there you go... my bad, I guess memory is the first thing to go.... or is it the second??? |
| 15:48.37 | prpplague | hehe |
| 15:48.59 | prpplague | GPSFan: still grasping at how to intergrate the spi subsystem into this driver |
| 15:49.35 | prpplague | i think that last item that needs to be addressed is the interrupt routines |
| 15:51.56 | GPSFan | well, I'll just assume that the kernel patch will be corrected for the gph0 issue. |
| 15:52.18 | prpplague | GPSFan: yell i'll make the change for the next release |
| 15:52.25 | prpplague | GPSFan: did you do any more testing with it? |
| 15:53.35 | GPSFan | not yet, lots of outside work this morning, I'm just taking a break. I want to do some iperf testing as soon as I can, probably after lunch. |
| 15:53.58 | prpplague | okie dokie |
| 16:09.27 | MothaWork__ | prpplague: do you need an example (totally unrelated) how to handle being on a bus and also a device? |
| 16:09.48 | MothaWork | I have a driver that registers with USB and misc char |
| 16:11.17 | prpplague | MonMotha: no thats not really the issue |
| 16:11.38 | prpplague | MonMotha: i'm having problems understanding how to define the actually pins and irqs thru the spi subsystem |
| 16:12.09 | MothaWork | ah, ok |
| 16:12.11 | MothaWork | can't help you there |
| 16:12.16 | MothaWork | I haven't hacked on SPI much |
| 16:13.09 | prpplague | MothaWork: yea, apparently no else has either |
| 16:25.13 | prpplague | this is really darn confusing |

| 17:00.19 | prpplague | CosmicPenguin: i think the main problem is there are zero examples of usage with the s3c24xx structures |
| 17:00.57 | CosmicPenguin | SPI is pretty new |
| 17:00.59 | CosmicPenguin | you have to break new ground |
| 17:02.57 | prpplague | yea the spi subsystem is pretty new |
| 17:03.20 | prpplague | there are several examples in the pxa and omap stuff, but nothing in the s3c24xx |
| 17:03.31 | prpplague | and the structs appear to be different for the s3c24xx |

| 18:03.24 | cbrake | prpplague: are you switching to SPI for your wifi module, or is this something else? |
| 18:03.48 | prpplague | cbrake: something else |
| 18:04.04 | prpplague | cbrake: all of our peripherals , with exception of the wifi, are spi based |
| 18:04.10 | ds2 | does that SPI module do promiscious mode? |
| 18:04.28 | cbrake | prpplague: IC |
| 18:04.51 | prpplague | ds2: you will have to more specific about which spi module you are refering to |
| 18:06.45 | ds2 | prpplague: the ethernet |
| 18:06.53 | prpplague | ~lart ds2 |
| 18:06.53 | purl | takes a big bite out of ds2's jugular vein |
| 18:06.58 | ds2 | can the ethernet be setup as a sniffer |
| 18:07.03 | prpplague | ds2: you will have to more specific about which spi module you are refering to |
| 18:07.59 | ds2 | the enc28j60 on the hammer... |
| 18:08.25 | prpplague | the enc28j60 chip itself does support promiscious mode |
| 18:08.29 | ds2 | might make a nice little snort box |
| 18:08.44 | ds2 | what about the driver you are putting together? |
| 18:09.07 | prpplague | ds2: i have not looked into adding or testing promiscious mode to the driver |
| 18:09.16 | ds2 | gotcha |
| 18:09.30 | ds2 | prpplague: just thinking up nifty little apps for that DIP40 board |
| 18:09.48 | ds2 | might even make a nice little bug module |

| 20:48.57 | prpplague | i wish there was someone to talk to about this spi subsystem |
| 20:56.55 | CosmicPenguin | in these situations, you should just do what you feel is right |
| 20:59.28 | prpplague | CosmicPenguin: which apparently doesn't work, hehe |
| 21:00.09 | CosmicPenguin | You have to take a shot - either it does or it doesn't |
| 21:00.23 | prpplague | yea, right now it doesn't :( |
| 21:00.35 | CosmicPenguin | Somebody is going to have to solve the problem - if you don't somebody else will |
| 21:01.07 | prpplague | CosmicPenguin: my problem is that it all seems like overkill, i've always have accessed spi directly and all of these layers just seem to make it overly complexe |
| 21:01.39 | prpplague | CosmicPenguin: " if you don't somebody else will" yea well nobody seems interested these days when i solve issues :( |
| 21:06.08 | *** join/#edev chouimat (n=dieu@kde/developer/chouinard) |
| 21:14.20 | ds2 | prpplague: can that chip (same commands) be interfaced through a different bus, say I2C or maybe 1wire? |
| 21:18.08 | prpplague | ds2: what chip is that? |
| 21:19.52 | prpplague | CosmicPenguin: guess i need to make a super simple spi driver to just send some standard bytes on a loop back |
| 21:20.21 | CosmicPenguin | why? |
| 21:21.37 | prpplague | CosmicPenguin: just so i can hammer out the interface code before trying to get it work with the enc28j60 |
| 21:22.02 | CosmicPenguin | you mean the master driver? |
| 21:22.38 | prpplague | CosmicPenguin: no the master is fine, its the stuff on either side that giving me trouble |
| 21:23.46 | prpplague | CosmicPenguin: very little info on configuring the master from the machine init, and very little info on read/writing on the device driver side |
| 21:25.02 | ds2 | prpplague: the ethernet chip that you are trying to figure where to put the drive |
| 21:26.39 | prpplague | ds2: this isn't just related to the enc28j60, i have 30+ other modules that are SPI based that i'm working |
| 21:26.47 | ds2 | ah |
| 21:26.49 | prpplague | ds2: the enc28j60 is just one aspect of it |
| 21:27.00 | prpplague | ds2: actually its closer to 50+ modules |
| 21:28.13 | ds2 | that does make it more agonizing |
| 21:37.42 | prpplague | ho ho hum |
| 21:37.52 | prpplague | CosmicPenguin: a little closer to working |
| 21:38.05 | prpplague | CosmicPenguin: i really only have 4 function calls that need to be converted |
| 21:38.25 | prpplague | CosmicPenguin: gonna have to do a writeup on the wiki for this one |
| 21:38.46 | prpplague | CosmicPenguin: you've done a couple network drivers right? |
| 21:41.43 | CosmicPenguin | one |
| 21:41.55 | CosmicPenguin | part of one |
| 21:42.21 | prpplague | CosmicPenguin: really wondering how heavy i'm gonna get flamed when i post this driver to netdev |
| 21:42.38 | CosmicPenguin | thats okay - flames are good |
| 21:42.49 | prpplague | CosmicPenguin: but if my last 4 weeks of mailing list submissions is any indication, i'll just be ignored anyway |
