| 00:35.14 | chiques-2 | I'm using an ATD program. My ATD writes a decimal digit fine in the terminal but when I use the same variable to write to my LCD display on my board it's a bunch of jibberish. Can anyone give me any insight on what I might be doing wrong? |
| 00:36.01 | roxfan | what's atd and how do you write it to lcd? |
| 00:36.58 | roxfan | usually you don't just send ascii symbols to the lcd... you either need to make a pixel matrix or a combination of segments |
| 00:38.50 | chiques-2 | roxfan, Analog To Digital Converter, I'm using LCDWriteLine(1, "write"); to write to it. If I change the argument to the variable that is displaying correctly on my terminal I simply see random characters LCDWriteLine(1, atd_result(0)); |
| 00:39.02 | roxfan | ah |
| 00:39.18 | roxfan | you probably need to convert integer to a string |
| 00:39.28 | roxfan | use itoa or some such |
| 00:39.45 | roxfan | or sprintf |
| 00:40.34 | chiques-2 | I"m a bit confused here. The on board LCD displays my "text" in quotes just fine. It's when I use a variable that it doesn't like. Are you suggesting I convert the numeric value of that variable into a 'string'? |

| 00:41.46 | roxfan | the lcd doesn't just "display a string"... likely the LCDWriteLine function does a lot of work behind the scenes |
| 00:41.58 | roxfan | and i guess it can only work with character strings |
| 00:42.20 | chiques-2 | I see |
| 00:43.21 | chiques-2 | I do notice something like this was done during the initialization of the ATD. char atd_result(int atd_line); |
| 00:44.08 | roxfan | well, "char" is not necessarily a text character |
| 00:44.14 | roxfan | it's also a byte value :) |

| 13:44.02 | g1powermac | calculus showed this to me last night, its quite nice: http://andahammer.com/mini3/ |
| 13:44.46 | g1powermac | it may not be cased, but it could easily fit in a case I got here |
| 13:45.26 | *** join/#edev harpal_ (n=Harpal@122.169.108.196) |
| 13:47.15 | prpplague | g1powermac: yea that mini2440 is gaining alot of interest |
| 13:47.40 | g1powermac | its a great price considering what you're getting |
| 13:48.09 | prpplague | g1powermac: wow indeed it tis |
| 13:48.31 | g1powermac | or this one, which is totally insane: http://andahammer.com/mini/ |
| 13:48.47 | g1powermac | $179 with that kind of screen, insane |
| 13:49.55 | g1powermac | could build a tablet computer with that |
| 13:49.57 | g1powermac | hmm |
| 13:49.58 | prpplague | hehe there is only one person in the irc channel |
| 13:50.24 | prpplague | g1powermac: both AML and TinCanTools could be doing that kind of stuff |
| 13:50.32 | prpplague | g1powermac: management just doesn't have any insight |
| 13:50.36 | g1powermac | sad |
| 13:50.52 | g1powermac | thats the kind of stuff I'd love to work on |
| 13:51.21 | g1powermac | wonder if I can find a nice case that will fit the big lcd screen, board, and battery. . . |
| 13:52.35 | prpplague | g1powermac: hehe, maybe i need to check with our ME, he does some case design on the side |
| 13:52.54 | g1powermac | hmm, could even get a vga panel: http://andahammer.com/friendlyarm-vga/ |
| 13:53.13 | g1powermac | love the last sentence on that page: "Note: You must load a keyboard enabled kernel (included), not a touch pad kernel since touching your VGA monitor will likely have no (desireable) effect!" |
| 13:54.06 | g1powermac | oh, hmm, wonder if Industrial ARMWorks would want to sell a batch of cases for the large lcd version |
| 13:54.40 | g1powermac | as I'm not sure if your ME would want to design a case just for me ;-) |
| 13:58.57 | g1powermac | prpplague, oh, I wanted to ask you a question |
| 13:59.13 | g1powermac | I decided to rip apart the lcd part of the z2 case last night |
| 13:59.25 | g1powermac | and find the datasheet to the lcd |
| 14:00.09 | prpplague | yes? |
| 14:00.27 | g1powermac | the lcd uses an spi bus for control and was curios if I could daisy chain other devices to it seemlessly without have to modify the software for the display |
| 14:01.06 | g1powermac | lemme get the link to the datasheet again |
| 14:01.23 | g1powermac | http://www.beyondinfinite.com/lcd/Library/Samsung/LMS283GF05.pdf |
| 14:02.23 | g1powermac | (and I can't seem to write proper english today, it seems :>) |
| 14:03.14 | g1powermac | the datasheet is kinda skimpy on the spi interface |
| 14:03.55 | prpplague | g1powermac: depends on how the software was done |
| 14:04.10 | prpplague | g1powermac: if it is using the standard spi subsystem with chip selects, yes you can |
| 14:04.30 | g1powermac | hmm |
| 14:05.08 | g1powermac | does blob put anything to the screen when it loads? I can't remember |
| 14:05.28 | g1powermac | just wondering if I'd have to worry about the boot loader as well |
| 14:08.13 | g1powermac | there's alot of room in that part of the case, lots of possibilities of adding new functionality like a touch screen and maybe even another sd slot |

| 16:44.18 | prpplague | landley: irq problems |
| 16:44.26 | prpplague | landley: the api is ungodly |
| 16:44.51 | landley | You're surprised by this? |
| 16:45.33 | prpplague | landley: somewhat.... i would have thought that it would have been slightly more robust than it is |
| 16:46.00 | prpplague | landley: i'm already like 3 weeks behind schedule on this wince port |
| 16:47.50 | landley | prpplague: document the problems you encounter. |
| 16:47.59 | landley | It's management's decision to go to wince, they should know what's involved. |
| 16:49.45 | prpplague | landley: hehe, they don't care, i';ve given up all hope of communicating with them |
| 16:50.34 | prpplague | landley: i do doc all my "orders" via email, so when they give crap about it i have evidence to back my statements up |
| 16:51.03 | prpplague | landley: but i don't argue about it any more, i just let them tell me what they want, i email my objects, and then get to work |
| 16:55.24 | landley | prpplague: unfortunately I've gotten that way on Linux recently. |
| 16:55.36 | landley | I'm working up the energy to resubmit my perl removal patches for the kernel today. |
| 16:55.52 | landley | Linux on the desktop has failed. |
| 16:55.56 | prpplague | landley: indeed |
| 16:56.11 | landley | And it's failed due to deep structural problems in the open source model. |
| 16:56.38 | landley | But it hasn't failed in the embedded, server, and supercomputing spaces. |
| 16:57.06 | landley | In an odd way, we're now in Sun's shoes, circa 1993 or so. |
| 16:57.26 | landley | Sun lost the workstation market, and it eventually eroded their developer base. |
| 16:57.41 | prpplague | landley: actually i disagree, embedded linux is on the way to failure as well do to the lack of consistant GUI builds |
| 16:58.06 | landley | If all the Linux developers go to the mac (which about half the kernel developers already have, from what I can tell), will it have a similar corrosive effect as they start spending more of their time on mac development? |
| 16:58.32 | prpplague | landley: indeed |
| 16:59.03 | landley | prpplague: you're a bit to close to Wince at the moment to have a clear perspective, I think. |
| 16:59.07 | landley | Doesn't mean you're wrong, of course... |
| 16:59.50 | landley | I need to dig up wherever open darwin got abandoned and see what state that was in... |
| 16:59.51 | prpplague | landley: i can see exactly why VAR's prefer wince right now |
| 17:00.03 | landley | prpplague: write a paper. |
| 17:00.03 | prpplague | landley: i just had this conversation with cbrake earlier |

| 17:01.23 | landley | prpplague: I'm sorry, I couldn't make it through the first paragraph of that. |
| 17:02.06 | prpplague | landley: ?? |
| 17:02.18 | landley | If the entire article is such a maze of twisty disclaimers nested so deeply you lose track of the nested tangents you departed from, I'm not up for reading that right now. (Headache.) |
| 17:03.00 | prpplague | hehe |
| 17:06.51 | landley | Ok, I've read it. (Thesis, support, conclusion. Is that so much to ask for?) |
| 17:06.59 | landley | I still couldn't tell you what the thesis was. It didn't seem to have one. |
| 17:07.12 | landley | "I've used both, I'll do whatever I'm paid to work on" seems to be the upshot... |
| 17:07.33 | landley | Yeah, definitely headache. I go walk around a bit. |

| 19:57.41 | prpplague | g1powermac: hence the reason a SD card can run as either SD or SPI |
| 19:58.27 | prpplague | g1powermac: the SD interface also supports a 4-bit transfer protocol that the SPI doesn't |
| 19:58.42 | g1powermac | hmm |
| 19:59.05 | prpplague | g1powermac: basically when mmc and sd were introduced there were no mmc or sd controllers available on most SoC's |
| 19:59.10 | g1powermac | was just curios on adding a microsd slot right behind the lcd in the z2 |
| 19:59.32 | prpplague | g1powermac: they needed some intermedite step to allow existing SoC'S to take advangtage of the cards, which was SPI |
| 19:59.37 | g1powermac | ahh |
| 19:59.55 | g1powermac | this would fit quite nicely behind the lcd in the z2: http://store.gravitech.us/micaad.html |
| 20:00.51 | g1powermac | but it would have to hookup to the spi interface going to the lcd |
| 20:01.14 | prpplague | g1powermac: thats a little overkill for the z2 since you are only needing 3.3v |
| 20:01.40 | g1powermac | it is, but the form factor is better than sparkfun's |
| 20:01.55 | prpplague | oh? |
| 20:01.57 | prpplague | looks |
| 20:02.14 | g1powermac | http://www.sparkfun.com/commerce/product_info.php?products_id=544 |
| 20:02.22 | g1powermac | too much pcb around the slot |
| 20:03.54 | g1powermac | though on second thought, it may work |
| 20:04.37 | g1powermac | just not sure how far the microsd card will stick out beyond the slot |
| 20:04.48 | prpplague | g1powermac: the one from sparkfun is much smaller |
| 20:05.12 | g1powermac | it needs to get past the case and the pcb edge |
| 20:05.27 | prpplague | g1powermac: when the microsd is inserted into the one from sparkfun, the edge of the card is at the edge of the pcb |
| 20:05.36 | g1powermac | ahh |
| 20:05.48 | prpplague | g1powermac: you probably could dremel that |
| 20:05.52 | prpplague | looks at one |
| 20:06.29 | g1powermac | thats what I was afraid of, it would be hard to get the card in and out as the case is about at least 1mm thick |
| 20:07.15 | g1powermac | it may still work though, I need to see one in front of me |
| 20:22.58 | landley | prrpplague: what i meant was you can't really learn how to use jtag tools like openocd under an emulator. |
| 20:23.04 | landley | For those you need real hardware. |
| 20:33.06 | prpplague | landley: yea |
| 20:33.37 | prpplague | landley: have you look at the wiring/process libraries for the arudino stuff? |
| 20:36.18 | prpplague | ho ho hum |
| 20:36.28 | prpplague | something is broken in my wince build :( |
| 20:52.29 | mnemoc | the vendor :p |
| 20:52.29 | prpplague | mnemoc: i'm the vendor, hehe |
| 20:52.31 | mnemoc | ^_^ |
| 21:06.14 | landley | prpplague: not really. What's an arudino again? |
| 21:06.56 | prpplague | landley: small system based on the atmel atmega processors |
| 21:08.58 | landley | What's an atmega? |
| 21:09.24 | landley | Sigh. It's been so long since I've submitted patches to linux-kernel I'd forgotten how much of a pain it was just to _prepare_ them in the format they want... |
| 21:10.58 | landley | Trying to catch the tail end of the merge window with the perl removal patches again. Updated for 2.6.30. |
| 21:11.09 | prpplague | landley: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atmel_AVR |
| 21:11.25 | prpplague | landley: 8-bit risc |
| 21:12.53 | prpplague | landley: i had started porting the wiring/process language over to linux as a library and setting it up to be more generic |
| 21:12.58 | landley | Ah yes, that thing. No, I haven't. |
| 21:13.44 | prpplague | landley: lots c++ |
| 21:16.41 | landley | c++ is evil. |
| 21:16.56 | agaffney | quite |
| 21:17.58 | landley | Eric Raymond and I have written 2/3 of a paper on that topic. "Why C++ is not our favorite language". I need to get back up to PA to finish that sometime... |
| 21:18.17 | landley | Did you know that template instantiation is turing complete at compile time? |
| 21:18.52 | agaffney | when I learned C++, there were no templates |
| 21:19.03 | agaffney | at least, not in the book that I used (which was old at the time) |
| 21:19.10 | agaffney | but I haven't touched it in ~10 years |
| 21:19.26 | landley | http://cpptruths.blogspot.com/2005/11/c-templates-are-turing-complete.html |
| 21:19.39 | landley | When I learned C++ there were no templates either. I abandoned the language shortly after they added them. |
| 21:20.13 | landley | C with classes was a reasonable idea. It was a preprocessor providing syntactic sugar, and half of what it did was already useless (operator overloading, actually overloading in general). |
| 21:20.32 | prpplague | landley: yea c++ is not my favorite language either |
| 21:22.39 | prpplague | ok so i've just discovered why the wince build takes so long |
| 21:23.10 | prpplague | the first phase of the build, builds _every_ driver related to that platform |
| 21:23.20 | *** join/#edev g1powermac_EPC (n=g1powerm@unaffiliated/g1powermac) |
| 21:23.28 | prpplague | the second phase selects the ones that are needed |
| 21:24.15 | prpplague | that would be like selecting every options in the linux kernel as modules and doing a build |
| 21:41.39 | agaffney | prpplague: that's....retarded |
| 21:46.06 | landley | prpplague: Microsoft has never cared about developers. |
| 21:46.10 | chiques-2 | Does anyone know of there is an equivalent "sleep()" function for the 68HC12? |
| 21:46.18 | landley | Ballmer occasionally screams about 'em, that's as close as it gets. |
| 21:47.10 | g1powermac_EPC | landley, don't forget the chair throwing. . .some poor developer must have gotten it once or twice. . . |
| 21:48.24 | g1powermac_EPC | or possible an entire dept killed by flying chairs. . . |
| 22:46.30 | landley | Ok, I just resubmitted the perl removal patches to linux-kernel for 2.6.30, if anybody wants to comment on 'em. :) |
