IRC log for #neo900 on 20150701

00:00.07DocScrutinizer05HAH!!!
00:00.18DocScrutinizer05my system time stalled 1 s
00:00.27DocScrutinizer05exactly like it's supposed to be
00:01.15OksanaJust asking because of http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=94212
00:04.10DocScrutinizer05differences between N900, BB-xM and Neo900 are marginal on this level
00:04.32DocScrutinizer05and Pandora and GTA04
00:05.50Oksanaand Pyra ? ;-)
00:06.11DocScrutinizer05Pyra is OMAP5
00:06.41DocScrutinizer05basically a completely different hw platform
00:07.45OksanaOkay... /Wondering why I haven't heard of OpenBSD running on N900.../
00:07.55DocScrutinizer05it's even unclear if it's binary compatible
00:08.09DocScrutinizer05unclear to me
00:08.26DocScrutinizer05(not heard of) no idea
00:09.06*** join/#neo900 mvaenskae (~mvaenskae@unaffiliated/mvaenskae)
00:10.33DocScrutinizer05omap3 is cortex-A8, omap5 is dual A15?
00:11.58DocScrutinizer05(not heard of BSD) prolly since it lacks drivers for "special peripherals", particularly for cmt
00:12.34DocScrutinizer05mind you, BB-xM doesn't have modem
00:13.06DocScrutinizer05and maybe nobody bothered to port e.g. phonet yet
00:13.19DocScrutinizer05err, ofono
00:14.15DocScrutinizer05luckily Neo900 doesn't need any such kinky drivers for modem
00:15.24DocScrutinizer05idly wonders why win7 box auto-wokeup a ~45min ago
00:16.34OksanaOkay, so how many drivers would Neo900 lack if somebody took a "simple" OpenBSD image for armv7, tried to add drivers from within Maemo 5, and tried to use it? Would it be able to handle keyboard, keyboard backlight, LCD, touchscreen, speakers?..
00:18.03DocScrutinizer05I dunno what drivers exist in OpenBSD. You can't add maemo5 drivers
00:18.58OksanaBecause Maemo 5 operating system is too different from OpenBSD to just re-use the drivers?
00:19.09DocScrutinizer05for speakers/audio you probably need a ALSA port
00:19.37DocScrutinizer05OpenBSD is not linux
00:20.21DocScrutinizer05I don't know much about BSD
00:21.20DocScrutinizer05I however gather that the kernel driver modules have different structure/API/generic-rules how to build them
00:21.53DocScrutinizer05just like you can't simply recompile a windows program for linux
00:22.26OksanaOkay. Unix-not-Linux. For OpenBSD BeagleBoard xM, supported on-board devices: standard serial port (com), watchdog controller (omdog), GPIO controller (omgpio). Ookay... Thank you.
00:22.34DocScrutinizer05(unless maybe it's using Qt on both platforms, and even then)
00:24.00DocScrutinizer05I guess there must be more supported on-board devices than those three in OpenBSD for BB-xM
00:26.41DocScrutinizer05N900 is using a pretty standard (for omap3) way to poll the kbd matrix, so I'd bet there must be a driver for that in OpenBSD
00:27.00DocScrutinizer05for example
00:33.45OksanaARM-based appliances [nothing yet]  http://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq12.html#armish
00:36.50DocScrutinizer05???
00:37.24DocScrutinizer05didn't you say there was a OpenBSD for BB-xM?
00:37.50DocScrutinizer05>><Oksana> OpenBSD lists BeagleBoard xM as supported platform<<
00:38.14OksanaYes:  http://www.openbsd.org/armv7.html But: Many pre-built packages for each architecture: arm: 0
00:38.19DocScrutinizer05BB-xM *is* ARM based. Dunno if it's an "appliance" though
00:38.46OksanaThere are generally still a fair number of things to do on each of these boards, however OpenBSD is generally considered to be usable on them. ^
00:39.24DocScrutinizer05well, no BSD experience here. I can't comment

06:46.49pigeonsi just pretend this channel is #devuan or something
06:47.58Oksanahey, #devuan has more users! Or is it too quiet?
06:48.23pigeonsi have a hard enough time managingthe windows for the channels i'm in
06:49.33OksanaNumber of channels is close to 50, for me, at the moment. Not easy to manage, but I cope with all the tabs (Chatzilla)
06:54.01OksanaYes, the NTP servers are important. Cannot mobile devices use GPS satellites for time-syncing, or something? It doesn't have to be done frequently, right?
06:55.44OksanaFor more frequent time-checking, cellular towers may be helpful. As well as user-set (through whatever GUI-or-CLI user prefers) NTP server (if you are connecting to Internet regularly enough for that to be useful)
07:02.01OksanaHow is it going with sourcing of housings from Nokia N900?
