| 00:00.06 | adyer | MonMotha: hc12 is like hc11 with 16-bit extensions |
| 00:00.27 | flyback- | lyos I think |
| 00:00.27 | MonMotha | ok, then I'm not thinking of HC08 |
| 00:00.32 | flyback- | buried somewhere |
| 00:00.34 | MonMotha | it's been several years since I did the HC12, so I didn't remembr |
| 00:00.38 | flyback- | I still have 2 origional 64180's |
| 00:00.41 | flyback- | r0 revision |
| 00:00.52 | flyback- | which was the hitachi version of the hitachi/zilog z180 |
| 00:01.01 | MonMotha | I knew the HC12 as a 16 bit extension of something |
| 00:02.10 | flyback- | then it's not the same cpu lynos |
| 00:02.15 | LyosNorezel | flyback: nice |

| 00:03.04 | flyback- | but it was too badly damaged |

| 00:44.11 | ds2 | the schematic for the flyswatter is open for non-commericial use? so it would strictly be improper to use the schematic to determine pinouts of connectors to interface with a board being developed commercially for a customer??? |
| 00:46.49 | flyback- | that's a tough one |
| 00:46.58 | LyosNorezel | heh... you'd have to ask prpplague about that |
| 00:47.53 | ds2 | if that's the case, one would have to think carefully before buying a cheap jtag |
| 00:48.06 | ds2 | I can understand disallowing use of it to make clones of it |
| 00:48.31 | ds2 | hmmm none of the cheap ipod clones seem to do video out :( |
| 00:49.36 | flyback- | kinda pointless somewhat |
| 00:50.58 | ds2 | the ipod stuff or the other thing? |
| 00:51.45 | flyback- | video out |
| 00:51.51 | ds2 | why? |
| 00:52.06 | ds2 | they seem like a useful little thing to carry around to hold a presentation on |
| 00:52.07 | flyback- | why do you have the device in the first place? |
| 00:52.08 | flyback- | :P |
| 00:52.18 | flyback- | yeah but most soc designers aren't thinking that |
| 00:52.22 | ds2 | uh |
| 00:52.38 | ds2 | quite a few SOCs offer video out |
| 00:52.42 | ds2 | esp. composite out |
| 00:53.47 | flyback- | nice |
| 00:54.07 | ds2 | i just want a little portable thing to carry slides on |
| 00:54.21 | ds2 | ideally, it would support USB OTG and be small |
| 00:56.01 | flyback- | that's cool :) |
| 00:56.08 | flyback- | you seen the s1mp3 and rockbox projects |
| 00:56.23 | flyback- | s1mp3 could handle slides np |
| 00:56.26 | ds2 | yep, but they don't seem to offer video out |
| 00:56.29 | flyback- | and those are dirt |
| 00:56.46 | ds2 | wouldn't say they are dirt cheap... $30-$40 is still $$ |
| 00:56.53 | flyback- | hehe wonder if you could bit bang a video out using audio out |
| 00:56.54 | flyback- | :P |
| 00:57.01 | ohsix | are you looking on globalsources? |
| 00:57.11 | flyback- | wtcf |
| 00:57.23 | flyback- | I thought global sources if for companies that buy in 1 billion quanties etc |
| 00:59.22 | ohsix | well you can get a handful for free, and a model number to find a place that sells them in single units, but more importantly they have+index every cheap little mp3 player ever |
| 01:00.36 | flyback- | heh |
| 01:00.46 | flyback- | I been using my dad's sansa 512 I got him 2 bday's ago |
| 01:00.50 | flyback- | I need to give it back |
| 01:00.58 | flyback- | damn addicted now I given up on my palm |
| 01:01.36 | flyback- | my biggest requirements are |
| 01:01.55 | flyback- | a) a lcd can be a 5 character calculator lcd don't care just want to be able to know song1, song2 |
| 01:02.01 | flyback- | b) a random function that actually is random |
| 01:02.10 | LyosNorezel | flyback-: why not build your own? |
| 01:02.18 | flyback- | don't have the skills or dexarity |
| 01:02.28 | LyosNorezel | heh |
| 01:02.38 | flyback- | took me hrs at work to solder up a rj45 to serial cable as it is |
| 01:02.55 | flyback- | which reminds me |
| 01:03.09 | flyback- | that was fairly easy in the long run I should solder up one right now for my old broken palm |
| 01:03.15 | flyback- | I soldered wires to the hotsync connector |
| 01:03.20 | flyback- | till I repair the flash |
| 01:03.26 | flyback- | they can be easily unsoldered |
| 01:04.23 | LyosNorezel | heg |
| 01:04.25 | ds2 | eh? |
| 01:04.26 | LyosNorezel | *heh |
| 01:04.31 | ds2 | solder up a RJ45 serial cable? |
| 01:04.35 | flyback- | yeah |
| 01:04.40 | flyback- | rj45 to serial |
| 01:04.44 | flyback- | for blades we bought used |
| 01:04.48 | flyback- | so I can see wtf is going on |
| 01:04.51 | ds2 | has the cisco ewaste not flowed out to your area? |
| 01:05.03 | flyback- | not at work |
| 01:05.11 | ds2 | hmmm |
| 01:05.20 | LyosNorezel | ah... gotta love the smell of broiled ICs |
| 01:05.22 | flyback- | the only cisco they have is a old 1600 with a power adaptor that is a battery charger from a power wheels |
| 01:05.29 | ds2 | almost every cisco router sold comes with at least 1 RJ-45 to DB-9 serial adapter |
| 01:05.48 | ds2 | newer ones come with it in the form of a cable, older ones come with just an adapter |
| 01:06.01 | ds2 | they wind up in the garbage, at the stores, and in piles all over the place |
| 01:06.08 | flyback- | well we didn't have any |
| 01:06.10 | flyback- | and nothing local |
| 01:06.12 | ds2 | some even through in a RJ45 to DB25 adapterr |
| 01:06.12 | flyback- | so I had to make one |
| 01:06.17 | ds2 | *shrug* |
| 01:06.28 | flyback- | I love broken cat5 cables |
| 01:06.31 | flyback- | such nice wire inside |
| 01:06.58 | ds2 | they are so common, I prefer RJ45 connectors over DB9...which is the reason why I don't want those sparkfun level converter boards |
| 01:07.13 | flyback- | well I skip that all together now |
| 01:07.16 | flyback- | usb to serial :) |
| 01:07.18 | flyback- | no reason not to |
| 01:07.26 | ds2 | i want USB to RJ-45 serial |
| 01:07.37 | flyback- | no reason you couldn't make one :) |
| 01:07.44 | ds2 | time |
| 01:08.03 | flyback- | na just get 2 devel boards or cables and combine them |
| 01:08.03 | ds2 | I have the chips (leadless specs of stuff) already. just need time to make a board for them |
| 01:08.21 | flyback- | nice |
| 01:08.36 | flyback- | I just need a jtag now |
| 01:10.57 | flyback- | 400 tons of electronic scrap |
| 01:11.04 | flyback- | and not 1 canucking 74cmos244 |
| 01:12.00 | ds2 | you need 3.3V conversion? |
| 01:12.23 | flyback- | yeah |
| 01:12.29 | flyback- | jtag |
| 01:12.49 | ds2 | why a 244? |
| 01:12.57 | flyback- | I got tons of 244's but they are all LS or F logic |
| 01:13.04 | flyback- | cause that's what the schematic calls for |
| 01:13.15 | ds2 | you using them to drive the parallel port side or the target side? |
| 01:13.25 | flyback- | I don't know that |
| 01:13.30 | flyback- | don't fully understand the circuit |
| 01:13.36 | ds2 | okay |
| 01:13.42 | flyback- | I assume mostly driving the target |
| 01:13.51 | flyback- | yeah they are all output from the parallel port except 1 line |
| 01:13.55 | LyosNorezel | ds2: it's the buffer for a wiggler circuit |
| 01:14.04 | ds2 | oh for that |
| 01:14.08 | flyback- | yeah |
| 01:14.25 | flyback- | the closest I had was HCT |
| 01:14.28 | flyback- | which I been told won't work |
| 01:14.50 | ds2 | Vcc is set to 5V here? |
| 01:15.27 | flyback- | huh? |
| 01:15.30 | ds2 | for slow stuff, I think a 4049 should work |
| 01:15.42 | ds2 | what is the power pin on the chip connected to? 5.0V or 3.3V |
| 01:15.54 | flyback- | I think it can be either |
| 01:16.10 | LyosNorezel | ds2: usually 3.3v... but it can be either |
| 01:17.16 | ds2 | you can probally substitue a handful of PNPs + diodes for it |
| 01:17.29 | ds2 | 2N3906 (I think) should work |
| 01:17.53 | flyback- | too complex :P |
| 01:18.09 | ds2 | what I don't like about the simplier wigglers is they are not easy to use with different voltages |
| 01:18.19 | ds2 | the flyswatters have that figureed out |
| 01:18.56 | flyback- | yeah well flyswatters aren't $10 or less :P |
| 01:19.03 | ds2 | nope |
| 01:19.21 | ds2 | but I don't expect to be building a new jtag interface each time i work on a board with different voltages |
| 01:19.31 | flyback- | true |
| 01:19.39 | flyback- | but you do a lot more than I do for now |
| 01:20.13 | ds2 | it is kind of like the reason why I decided to get a PIC burner instead of using a sub $5 one I built |
| 01:20.48 | flyback- | na I understand this |
| 01:21.50 | ds2 | working tools is a good investment |
| 01:22.31 | flyback- | not home hobbyist just starting out |
| 01:22.35 | flyback- | see if it's worth doing |
| 01:24.50 | ds2 | prehaps, but OTH, home bobbyiest don't really need jtag |
| 01:25.01 | flyback- | yeah I do |
| 01:25.06 | flyback- | juicebox's and some routers |
| 01:36.56 | LyosNorezel | ok... I'm still not very good with RAM mathematics... |
| 01:37.15 | flyback- | na that shit throws me for a loop also |
| 01:37.42 | LyosNorezel | can anyone tell me the actual size (in Kbit/Mbit) of a 128K x8 chip? |
| 01:37.51 | flyback- | it's just a shell game by marketing retards |

| 19:24.05 | prpplague | RobotGuy: greetings |
| 19:24.58 | RobotGuy | I think I somehow managed to muck up Buildroot trying to get everything to go to /usr/bin that now goes to /bin. I had to start all over. :( |
| 19:25.16 | RobotGuy | Somehow libgcc was not getting into the initrd anymore. |

| 19:49.56 | sjhill | so |
| 19:50.11 | sjhill | who has a really easy kernel crash dump utility that writes panics and oopses to flash? |
| 19:50.16 | prpplague | wmat: ahh |
| 19:50.28 | wmat | prpplague: basically, we'd need to discuss terms and come to a redistribution agreement |
| 19:50.52 | prpplague | wmat: ahh, thats out of the question then |
| 19:51.08 | wmat | prpplague: however, we'd prefer you redistributed evals of Pro anyway, I just have to get the bits into the IDE |
| 19:51.11 | prpplague | wmat: can we make reference that the lite version supports the hammer? |
| 19:52.54 | wmat | prpplague: you're welcome to point to our toolchain all you want |
| 19:53.46 | prpplague | wmat: okie dokie |
| 19:54.57 | RobotGuy | wmat: You have Lite Toolchains? What are the missing capabilies? |
| 19:55.29 | chouimat|work | RobotGuy: probably ld :) |
| 19:55.52 | RobotGuy | chouimat|work: :P Aren't you supposed to be working?? ;) |
| 19:56.08 | chouimat|work | RobotGuy: it's 3pm here so it's mandatory coffee break |
| 19:57.32 | sjhill | oh for the love of octal |
| 19:57.47 | RobotGuy | sjhill: HEX on you! :) |
| 19:57.47 | sjhill | there are no good kernel crash utilities |
| 19:58.20 | wmat | RobotGuy: the IDE and certain bits that talk to certain JTAG hardware |
| 19:58.59 | RobotGuy | wmat: Ahhh, no IDE. It figures. Drats. |
| 20:02.14 | landley | sjhill: to make it crash, to save crash dumps, or to interpret crash dumps? |
| 20:02.27 | landley | (and/or panic messages?) |
| 20:03.45 | sjhill | landley: save crash dumps to flash |
| 20:03.57 | sjhill | landley: panics too |
| 20:04.22 | landley | The kexec dumper thing isn't exactly designed for use in embedded environments. :) |
| 20:05.37 | landley | Crash dumping and embedded development are generally pretty antithetical. Crash dumping involves having your dumper loaded and ready to go at all times, because trying to loading and initialize it while the kernel is panicing sucks mightily... |
| 20:06.11 | landley | Posssibly you could have a process loaded and blocked reading from some kind of /sys/panic, and then have bug() unblock that? |
| 20:06.35 | landley | Nah, signals to a fixed PID would be better. |
| 20:07.27 | landley | Ugly, but more likely to dodge falling debris longer... |
| 20:12.06 | LyosNorezel | wmat: why so restrictive of a license? |
| 20:14.26 | landley | sjhill: if you've got the dram for it, the kexec crash dumper was fairly straightfoward last I checked. |
| 20:14.40 | landley | It's also a ginormous IBM monstrosity designed to boot on the MCP from Tron. |
| 20:16.18 | landley | It does the dumping from userspace, so you just have a block device (or some such, I forget the details) which you copy data from to a known location. |
| 20:16.34 | landley | So making it save to flash instead of to disk shouldn't be too hard. |
| 20:16.56 | landley | The downside: pins lots of memory. |
| 20:17.31 | sjhill | i've got enough memory to spare i think |
| 20:17.36 | landley | Not only loaded kernel, but also _all_ its working space. |
| 20:17.38 | sjhill | 1GB of flash and 256MB of RAM |
| 20:18.04 | landley | You can probably make the crash dumper work in about 16 megs with a uClibc/busybox initramfs. |
| 20:18.13 | landley | Might be able to squeeze it in 8, but it would take tweaking. |
| 20:18.52 | sjhill | yup |
| 20:19.16 | landley | Documentation/kdump/kdump.txt |
| 20:19.36 | sjhill | yeah, i've read it |
| 20:19.46 | sjhill | i'm trying to see if kdump will work on ppc platform |
| 20:19.51 | sjhill | mine i mean |
| 20:19.55 | sjhill | getting ready to test it |
| 20:20.06 | landley | ok |
| 20:20.14 | RobotGuy | prpplague: I am not getting libgcc into my initrd for some reason. Am I doing something wrong? |
| 20:20.28 | landley | I dunno how much help I'll be, but I've previously asked many stupid questions and can pass on the subset of the answers I received which I think I understood. |
| 20:21.13 | landley | RobotGuy: build your toolchain with --disable-shared. |
| 20:21.26 | landley | Are you referring to libgcc.a or libgcc_s.so? |
| 20:21.32 | sjhill | thx for the help |
| 20:21.55 | RobotGuy | landley: libgcc_s.so.1 |
| 20:22.07 | landley | If you build your toolchain with --disable-shared you won't need it. |
| 20:22.23 | landley | Otherwise, you may have to copy it by hand during the install, it sometimes wants to put it in weird places. |
| 20:22.31 | prpplague | RobotGuy: yea, the stamp isn't getting cleaned up |
| 20:22.31 | landley | It just needs to be in your library search path, /lib or /usr/lib should work fine. |
| 20:22.48 | prpplague | RobotGuy: try removing the install stamp for gcc final |
| 20:22.52 | RobotGuy | prpplague: Those pesky . files? |
| 20:23.11 | landley | (Note that making --disable-shared and soft-float work together requires patching gcc repeatedly with a large rock and hot pokers.) |
| 20:24.26 | RobotGuy | I am scared now. I am actually starting to understand what prpplague says.. |
| 20:26.31 | chouimat|work | RobotGuy: be scared ... really scared |
| 20:27.22 | RobotGuy | chouimat|work: I'm vewwwwy affwaid! ;) |
| 20:27.55 | chouimat|work | RobotGuy: be careful ... he has more weapon that some country's army ;) |
| 20:29.18 | RobotGuy | chouimat|work: I have not gotten this deep into software for quite a long time. I am learning far more about Buildroot than I expected to need to know. I have figured out how to make it put stuff where I want it though. ;) |

| 22:22.51 | prpplague | RobotGuy: sounds like its there, just not getting populated in your image |
| 22:23.01 | prpplague | hapchap: its the hammer buildroot |
| 22:24.15 | hapchap | RobotGuy: you might try removing builld_arm/root directory and removing build_arm/staging_dir/fakeroot.env |
| 22:24.45 | hapchap | RobotGuy: this will force buildroot to build the initrd from scratch but not have to rebuild the packages |
| 22:25.01 | prpplague | RobotGuy: i assume you have "build/install shared libgcc" turned on in your config right? |
| 22:26.10 | RobotGuy | prpplague: I have that checked for shared libgcc |
| 22:27.21 | prpplague | RobotGuy: and you are sure that the libgcc_s is getting built? |
| 22:27.45 | RobotGuy | prpplague: I believe so, but am not really sure. I will look. |
| 22:28.25 | prpplague | it will be in gcc-final/gcc dire |
| 22:28.26 | prpplague | dir |
| 22:28.27 | RobotGuy | prpplague: Yes, libgcc is getting built. |
| 22:28.44 | prpplague | RobotGuy: lets make sure we are indeed talking about libgcc_s, correct? |
| 22:30.24 | RobotGuy | prpplague: libgcc is right where you said it will be. |
| 22:30.40 | prpplague | RobotGuy: lets make sure we are indeed talking about libgcc_s, correct? |
| 22:30.48 | RobotGuy | prpplague: Yes, libgcc_s |
| 22:31.26 | prpplague | ok so in the gcc-final directory remove the .installed file |
| 22:32.03 | prpplague | then go to your project directory and remove the directory marked root and the .root file |
| 22:32.18 | RobotGuy | OK |
| 22:33.05 | chouimat|work | prpplague: hammer + LCD+ a few buttons + network + mp3 decoder == a nice alarm clock ... I think I will name it HammerTIME |
| 22:33.19 | prpplague | hehe |
| 22:34.28 | chouimat|work | prpplague: and I will wonder how many people will get it ;) |
| 22:34.47 | prpplague | alot as thats the most common joke about the hammer module |
| 22:35.23 | chouimat|work | anyway I have to go ... need to catch up on some sleep |
| 22:35.32 | RobotGuy | prpplague: I am still not getting libgcc into the initrd. |
| 22:35.50 | prpplague | RobotGuy: is libgcc_s in the project root? |
| 22:36.25 | RobotGuy | prpplague: No |
| 22:36.36 | prpplague | RobotGuy: is it in the staging_dir lib directory? |
| 22:38.56 | RobotGuy | prpplague: I don't seem to have a staging dir. |
| 22:39.17 | prpplague | RobotGuy: uh, you sure? |
| 22:39.39 | prpplague | RobotGuy: buildroot/build_arm/staging_dir/ |
| 22:40.28 | RobotGuy | prpplague: Found it! libgcc_s is there. |
| 22:42.16 | prpplague | RobotGuy: ok remove the staging dir, remove the project root dir, remove the project .root file and remove the gcc-final .installed file, then re run make |
| 22:47.01 | CosmicPenguin | you would.... |
| 22:47.24 | prpplague | CosmicPenguin: indeed it wouldn't be the first time |
| 22:47.28 | prpplague | CosmicPenguin: getting any sleep? |
