13:03.34sorphin-w
13:04.30sorphinand i make pages that generally don't work in IE ;-)
13:36.35prpplagueok ,rev1 board boots and works with fb, rev2 board boots but appears to have different default values in the lcd controler, both boards have the same revision of the chip
13:36.42prpplagueanyone ever run across that?
13:36.46sorphinon...
13:36.57sorphinwhat board? :)
13:37.28prpplaguecan't say
13:37.32sorphinheh
13:37.35prpplaguelh79520 based
13:37.46sorphinthen how would anyone else have ran across it? :-P
13:38.21prpplaguesorphin: i mean in general terms , where different revisions of a board produce different default values
13:38.22sorphin'unless you're talking about integrated into the lh79520
13:38.46prpplaguesorphin: yea, all of these are values inside the cpu
13:38.52sorphin'ah
13:38.57sorphinnevermind then
13:39.17sorphinnever touched that cpu
13:39.48prpplaguesorphin: sharp doesn't mention anything about dynamic setting of defaults, i.e. gpioa0 is high then xxxx values get set and if its low then yyyy values get set
13:39.58sorphinhmm
13:40.16prpplagueso much to learn so little time
13:40.21sorphinyep
13:40.23sorphinalways the way
13:41.06sorphinya know, now i see why missy takes her bday off, i have no desire to be here today, but yet, i am anyways, i guess i'm just a corporate lackey
13:42.56sorphinbut either my mother or missy kinda negate taht
13:42.56sorphinheh
13:43.20sorphinleast people at work don't know about it, keeps stupid things from happening here
13:44.38prpplagueyea, i had they remove mine from the "company birthday list"
13:46.56sorphinthat'd be why no one really knows how old T0mW is
13:47.01sorphin:)
13:58.43prpplaguehmm, anyone know an easy test to see if my fb driver is working?
14:05.00prpplaguewhere are the guru's when you need one
14:09.18prpplagueyikes
14:09.35prpplaguermk is reporting that ARM support in glibc is slowing being phased out
14:16.53CosmicPenguinMorning
14:16.58prpplagueCosmicPenguin: hey
14:17.14prpplagueCosmicPenguin: whats the best to test a new fb driver ?
14:17.51CosmicPenguinyou don't have a console running on it?
14:20.20prpplagueCosmicPenguin: right now i'm running console on a serial port
14:20.41prpplagueCosmicPenguin: i was just thinking there was some test i could run, i.e. write some data to /dev/fb
14:22.57prpplagueCosmicPenguin: i'm very weak with some fb stuff
14:23.45CosmicPenguinwell, there are three things you can do
14:23.49CosmicPenguin1) run a console on it
14:23.56CosmicPenguin2) write a little app to render to the screen
14:24.03CosmicPenguin3) use a third party framebuffer application
14:24.50CosmicPenguinNumber two is probably what you want
14:28.34prpplaguehmm
14:28.56prpplagueCosmicPenguin: what to do for a small app
14:29.01prpplagueCosmicPenguin:hmm
14:29.26prpplagueCosmicPenguin: i'm guess if i don't specify a console on the command line it should default to the fb
14:30.38CosmicPenguinprpplague: a app is really easy - open up the fb, and mmap it
14:31.01CosmicPenguinprpplague: you know the depth and the ptich, so just write a pattern accordingly
14:32.24prpplagueCosmicPenguin: hmm

14:35.00prpplagueCosmicPenguin: don't have an example app?
14:35.29CosmicPenguinI can write you one
14:35.36CosmicPenguinMe personally, I just use Microwindows in a pinch
14:36.42prpplagueCosmicPenguin: yea this is a really light device
14:36.50prpplagueCosmicPenguin: would take time to get that running

14:38.25CosmicPenguinand whats the depth?
14:38.41CosmicPenguinAnd finally, is the pitch something other then xres * depth?
14:38.45pb_prpplague: yo
14:38.50CosmicPenguins/depth/bytes per pixel/
14:39.52prpplagueCosmicPenguin: 160x160x4
14:40.45CosmicPenguinpalettized?
14:40.49CosmicPenguinduh
14:40.50prpplaguepb_: how do you normally test new framebuffer/lcd configurations on your arm systems
14:44.45pb_prpplague: usually I just run the X server up on them
14:45.25prpplaguehmm
14:45.45CosmicPenguinyou've got to be kidding me - you turn down Microwindows, but you consider X?
14:46.01prpplaguepb_: had all this working with a different lcd, then they change models on me
14:46.28Crofton_hmm /. isn;t responding ")
14:47.12prpplague~slashdot
14:47.55prpplaguepb_ / CosmicPenguin : i see on the serial console where it says its switching to the fb console, but it just continues on with the serial console and i get nothing :(

15:37.22CosmicPenguinheh
15:40.07prpplagueCosmicPenguin: i have to admit, i did a lousy job on the fb, mainly because i was hacking the lineo code
15:41.09CosmicPenguinHey, there are better people then you that have been reduced to quivering piles of goo after dealing with the Lineo code.. :)
15:41.16CosmicPenguinIts bad juju
15:41.23prpplagueCosmicPenguin: hehe
15:42.15prpplagueCosmicPenguin: ok so this code cycles through all 15 levels of color/greyscale?
15:42.53CosmicPenguinyeah
15:43.15prpplagueneato
15:43.24prpplaguehopefully i'll be able to test in a minute
15:43.33CosmicPenguinIts a little funky, because a lookup table would have been faster
15:43.43CosmicPenguinbut this way you can change the order of things
15:43.50CosmicPenguinmaybe a rand(16) to mix things up.. :)
15:44.10prpplaguehehe
15:44.21prpplaguei'll tinker with it and see what i can create
15:44.26CosmicPenguinNow, if stuff is funky there, you can get rid of the for() loop all together
15:44.42CosmicPenguinand just do a memset(fbbase, 0xAA, YRES * PITCH);
15:44.50CosmicPenguinor whatever
15:47.18CosmicPenguinThe joke is that drawing on the framebuffer is easy
15:47.23CosmicPenguinthe hard part is drawing something meaningful
15:47.53prpplagueCosmicPenguin: hmm, how quick is it suppose to run
15:47.55prpplagueCosmicPenguin: ?
15:48.04CosmicPenguinimmediately
15:48.09CosmicPenguindid it segfault?
15:48.19prpplagueCosmicPenguin: naw, came right back to a #
15:48.25CosmicPenguinok - thats fine
15:48.28CosmicPenguindid it draw anything?
15:48.29prpplagueCosmicPenguin: i asumme it ran, but was pretty fast
15:48.40prpplagueCosmicPenguin: contrast seems to be up too high
15:48.45prpplagueCosmicPenguin: gotta fix that first
15:48.46CosmicPenguinprpplague: 160 x 80 loops - thats pretty quick
15:49.05prpplagueyea
15:49.12prpplagueCosmicPenguin: think i'll add some sleeps in there
15:49.29CosmicPenguinprpplague: you can put a press any key to continue at the prompt if you want
15:49.36CosmicPenguinbut the image should stay persistant on the screen
15:50.13prpplagueCosmicPenguin: yea, i wanted some kind of motion to see it changing
15:50.27prpplagueCosmicPenguin: probably add something like a 1/2 sec between cycles
15:54.30CosmicPenguinthats cool
16:04.24prpplagueCosmicPenguin: then at the end have a hand slowly appear , shooting the bird

18:12.04CosmicPenguinJust different priorities
18:12.16Crofton_heh
18:12.57prpplagueyea, it was horrible
18:13.19prpplaguemost everyone didn't care to help i.e. "you need to go talk to this agency"
18:13.32prpplagueand those that did try to help gave conflicting instructions
18:14.19prpplagueweeeeee, the rain has started
18:14.21Crofton_Weird, the woman from Boucher's office left me a message yesterday letting me now about the print foul up

18:15.14prpplagueCrofton_: where are you originally from ?
18:15.22Crofton_England
18:15.29prpplaguethats what i thought
18:16.02Crofton_I'll have to stop refering to the locals as "Colonists" :)
18:16.19prpplagueCrofton_: i'm really surprised you are getting help, from what i've heard, the UK and former UK territories are the hardest to immigrate from
18:16.47Crofton_well this is just naturalization, I've had a green card since they were green.
18:18.28Crofton_In college I would use it as ID for booze, it had a picture of me at age 6
18:18.33prpplagueCrofton_: OH
18:18.39prpplagueCrofton_: thats the difference
18:18.45Crofton_yeah
18:19.12Crofton_You were in TX? I suspect they are completely focused on the hispanic vote there
18:19.18prpplagueCrofton_: your doing naturalization, we were just trying to get a green cart
18:19.23prpplagueCrofton_: yea
18:19.30Crofton_I did tell the guys office I wanted to vote for him :)
18:19.44Crofton_yeah green card can be really tough
18:19.46prpplagueCrofton_: but even the immigration ppl would tell us that we had little chance
18:19.52Crofton_Do you have kids born in US?
18:20.13prpplagueCrofton_: but why? both are kids are us citizens, we were married in the states, she has a valid tourist visa
18:20.53prpplagueCrofton_: my question has always been, why does INS treat ppl who are married to US citizens this way?
18:21.03Crofton_I've always been curious how they figure they can deport parents of US citizens
18:21.20Crofton_Heh, sometimes the marraige is not what it seems
18:22.17Crofton_I've seen a case or two like that. In one case we asked the guy if he had consummated the marraige, and he said (emphatically) no
18:24.10TheCollectoranyone know of a good GPS reciever with a serial interface?
18:27.36CosmicPenguinugh
18:27.46CosmicPenguinloading a kernel through gdb is so damn slow
18:28.48prpplagueCrofton_: agreed, but they should make the procedure clear as to what has to be done
18:29.05Crofton_oh yeah
18:29.15Crofton_immigration policy is dreadful
18:29.25prpplagueCrofton_: we had one form sent back 4 times
18:29.47prpplagueCrofton_: where it had "please list first name and last"
18:29.53Crofton_these H111 visas, or whatever they are using to supply a tech work force that is forced to leave after 6 years is outrageous
18:30.28Crofton_pork for the tech industry, they want a steady supply of fresh meat to burn out
18:30.37prpplagueCrofton_: first time we put her married name, they sent it back saying it needed to be her maiden, then we sent it in and they sent it back saying it needed to be the married name, and repeat
18:30.59Crofton_I haven't made it to that phase yet

18:41.28CosmicPenguinwell, if you ran my program, you should see 01 23 45 67 89 ab cd ef over and over again
18:42.10T0mWprpplague: you need a 'scope
18:42.16prpplagueyea
18:42.25prpplagueand a EE degree
18:42.52T0mWbah
18:42.58CosmicPenguinyou said that you got the contrast working
18:43.02CosmicPenguinso the power is connected
18:43.19CosmicPenguinI think T0mW is right - you need a scope
18:43.54T0mWyou do need to one to verify timings, otherwise it is poke-n-hope
18:44.23T0mWprpplague: what if you have a bad connection / burnt pin on the lh79520 board?
18:45.15prpplagueT0mW: i suspect its timmings
18:45.15*** join/#elinux chouimat (~dieu@chouinard.developer.kde)
18:45.26prpplagueT0mW: i was working with timmings from a sa-1110
18:45.35prpplagueT0mW: where the lcd was originally working
18:47.28prpplaguehmm, progress, getting verticle bars now
18:47.36CosmicPenguinthats good
18:48.35CosmicPenguinI need a damn jtag
18:48.46T0mWprpplague: next time you stop by ebay, lay down $100 for a 100MHz scope.  Good investment, then have Donna show you how it works.  :)
18:49.06prpplagueCosmicPenguin: after running youre app i do inteded have a repeating sequence
18:49.18CosmicPenguinthats good
18:49.37prpplagueT0mW: hehe, yea well, i'm broke for the next 2 weeks, plus you really need to know how to use it , hehe
18:49.55CosmicPenguinHopefully, that means that you are correctly mapping memory
18:49.55CosmicPenguinAnd we'll assume that its the right memory
18:51.45T0mWprpplague: bah, all you need do is show up on this bat-channel and we'll get you started, right guys?
18:53.35prpplaguebat-channel?
18:53.55CosmicPenguinI just roam around trying to plug the various scope parts into any holes I find around the office
18:54.07CosmicPenguinGood thing I'm not working at home, or my cat would be very unhappy
18:54.18prpplaguehehe

19:16.39jamieI'm 32 and I'm not married nor do I own a house...  Seem to be work, work, work though...!
19:16.56sorphinquite
19:17.08jacquesI turn 37 tomorrow, not married, no house, and currently no job!  :-D :-D
19:17.40jamieah, the joys of total freedom eh, jacques!
19:17.54sorphinjacques: and a miata ;)
19:18.11chouimat31 no house, exwife and no jobs
19:18.13jacquesyep, I kinda like this
19:18.47sorphinwell, the house wasn't a requirement of the married, just more of an incentive
19:18.50jamieWhen I was made redundant 2.5 years ago, out of 5 people it happened to, I was the really happy one 'cos it meant I could do whatever I like for a while :)
19:19.23jamieI'd like a house so I could drill holes and put up shelves and things.  Renting is restrictive like that.
19:19.24sorphinheh
19:19.36sorphini couldnt' afford to be unemployed
19:19.45sorphinnot even for a short time
19:20.15kergothheh
19:20.24sorphinoh crap, it's kergoth
19:20.28kergothi'm unemployed atm, not fun.  /me wonders how long he can manage to keep the car
19:20.33jamieI'm lucky enough that I can afford to be unemployed from time to time.  It's why I _like_ shorter contracts - I really need my time to do my own things.
19:20.33sorphinhide the embedded devices
19:21.24jamieWhen I'm working, I still do my own stuff - it's innate in me.  But it's too tiring!
19:22.42jamieI much prefer the risky thing - my financial "cushion" is very important to me for that reason, and it's probably why I don't have a house+mortgage (would remove my ability to take risks).
19:23.14sorphinwell, i also have a car + loans (student)
19:23.28jamieBut at the same time, I would _so_ like to turn one of the rooms into a small industrial complex ;-)
19:24.27sorphinmy 7' rack is just about full
19:24.57jamieI'd like to get some mechanical stuff together.  Begin making more hardware.
19:25.13CosmicPenguinI need a damn rack
19:25.14CosmicPenguinand a switch
19:25.25CosmicPenguinand a box for my new firewall toy
19:25.38jamieI need a time machine.  Swap? :)
19:25.55CosmicPenguinbut since I just dropped the equivellent of a small car on my backyard, nothing is gonna happen in that regard for me for a while
19:26.14sorphinCosmicPenguin: eh?
19:26.32CosmicPenguinclarification - ehough to buy a small car
19:26.42sorphinah
19:26.44sorphinwhy?
19:26.50CosmicPenguinwhy not?
19:27.02jamiecar prices vary a lot, it's not revealing so much :)
19:27.17jacques$46,000 ??
19:27.21jamieCosmicPenguin: because you want to buy the switch etc....?
19:27.22CosmicPenguinheh
19:27.33CosmicPenguinsod and trees are expensive
19:27.38jamieMy car was approx. $900, it's going well :)
