| 10:46:58 | a7r | is away: -> dreaming of corrupted JFFS2 and bricked iPAQs |
| 14:17:00 | nikos | is away: Errand |
| 15:13:51 | nikos | is back |
| 17:41:13 | a7r | is back |
| 20:18:41 | Kero | same ppl here; is this an overkill in channels? |
| 20:19:20 | a7r | it's a matter of splitting up where topics are discussed. |
| 20:19:22 | nikos | No, familiar specific discussion would just flood over here when #handhelds.org is noisy. |
| 20:22:34 | Kero | OK, will try v0.4 real soon, like Friday or next weekend. |
| 20:22:44 | Kero | (hm, is that really son?) |
| 20:22:50 | Kero | s/o/oo/ |
| 20:23:46 | nikos | Not around here. ;) |
| 20:24:31 | Kero | was afraid of that. |
| 20:24:48 | Kero | Got to do so many other things, though. |
| 20:24:58 | nikos | Understandable |
| 20:25:13 | Kero | Doesn't really help in hacking auto-cpu-scaling kernels, either :-( |
| 20:28:15 | digdude | Kero: were you working an a kernel patch to auto set the cpu-scale as necessary? |
| 20:29:53 | Kero | digdude: yes; the scaling part is easy, but some hardware gets confused... |
| 20:30:09 | Kero | LCD controller, DMA controller... |
| 20:30:29 | Kero | uarts |
| 20:31:56 | digdude | i was going to try hacking on that concept when I had something besides my ipaq to do sa1110 hacking on. |
| 20:32:52 | Kero | It's nice to see low sclae == long battery, but still have a fast respons when you start applications. |
| 20:35:59 | Disconnect | detached. [dircproxy log on] |
| 20:36:15 | a7r | Kero: Those would be rad patches. |
| 20:37:15 | Kero | rad? |
| 20:37:38 | a7r | Rad is Californian for ``Good'' or ``Cool''. |
| 20:38:06 | Kero | yeah, would be very cool. |
| 20:38:11 | nikos | With a bit greater intensity perhaps. |
| 20:38:19 | digdude | Kero: what kind of algorithm do you use for detecting what to set the scale to? is there some kind of per-process registration or measurement? |
| 20:38:32 | Kero | but I guess that a DMA controller joke, that causes start-up of, say, the keyboard to segfault /always/ is not so cool... |
| 20:39:15 | Kero | has been hacking with the scale and the UARTs to get the hardware to scale correctly. |
| 20:39:25 | Kero | So far, with medium success. |
| 20:39:25 | digdude | Kero: do you know what the cpu-scale switching speed it? i.e. how many ms it takes to go from scale 8 to scale 7? |
| 20:39:42 | Kero | 150 microseconds. |
| 20:40:18 | Kero | really needs descriptions of the LCD and DMA controller, to turn them off, temporarily. |
| 21:07:22 | BadMind | hi |
| 21:54:48 | nikos | a7r: You around? |
