02:17.51T0mWGPSFan: the thing that throws me about the mods is the MMC wiring.
02:18.26T0mWGPSFan: I have a miniSD socket, I hope I wired this thing correctly on the pcb! heh

02:19.36GPSFanlet me look...
02:20.26T0mWGPSFan: the SD card is flush with the case, you use your finger nail to depress it into the case and eject.
02:21.00T0mWGPSFan: miniUSB connector is also flush with the case

02:24.00GPSFanreading http://elinux.org/wiki/ZipItMMC again you may have SO & SI reversed, but that has been a naming issue for a while. I also can't comment on the pin naming on your minisd socket.
02:24.38GPSFantry it if SO & SI are reversed, it just won't work.
02:24.56GPSFanas long as vcc, gnd & sclk are ok it shouldn't hurt anything.

14:40.15CosmicPenguinmorning
14:40.29CosmicPenguinDo you think it would be fair to refer to SD and USB mass storage devices as "pseudo" LBA devices?
14:42.02prpplaguehmm
14:42.05prpplaguegood question
14:42.37prpplagueok aren't both the sd and usb mass storage treated as scsi devices ?
14:43.08CosmicPenguinyeah, but SCSI hard drives can be addressed  with a LBA
14:43.20CosmicPenguinor C-H-S if thats your thing
14:44.07CosmicPenguinI'm trying to draw a parallel between an typical embedded system where you design an image for a specific type of media
14:44.37CosmicPenguinand desktop systems where the image can exist on any of a IDE drive, SCSI drive, USB key, SD card, CF, etc...
14:45.02prpplagueCosmicPenguin: right, i was just follow a logical progression
14:45.45CosmicPenguinI want to make the point that x86 systems must almost always use block devices that require LBA or C-H-S addressing
14:46.04CosmicPenguinbut I want to call SD and USB keys "psuedo" because really, deep down they're not addressed like that at all
14:46.20prpplagueCosmicPenguin: ok so sd and usb-ms simulate scsi, and scsi can be LBA, so logicall i would see no problems in calling those devices as psuedo lba
14:46.52prpplagueCosmicPenguin: i can follow that
14:47.00prpplagueCosmicPenguin: and would agree
14:47.11CosmicPenguinCoolin
14:47.32prpplagueCosmicPenguin: take my opinion and $0.02 to it and you get $0.019999999999999
14:49.31CosmicPenguinHeh
14:49.33CosmicPenguinThats not true
14:50.01CosmicPenguinWhile I'm doing my presentation, I have you in mind as the target auidence... :)
14:50.29CosmicPenguinToo bad you can't come out - it would be a drunken fest
14:50.41CosmicPenguinOr a sauftour as the germans would style it

16:54.39CosmicPenguincool
16:54.54CosmicPenguinI'm counting on you to be my goto guy when it comes to SPI
16:54.54CosmicPenguin:)
16:56.29prpplagueheh
16:56.30prpplaguehehe
16:57.00prpplagueCosmicPenguin: one of our problems with the last 4 or 5 designs was the keyboard
16:57.19prpplagueCosmicPenguin: where the keyboard pcb mated with the main mother board
16:57.39prpplagueCosmicPenguin: no matter what connector we used they always eiter broke or worked loose
16:57.56prpplagueCosmicPenguin: the new design uses a flex cable similiar to what you see with lcds
16:58.09prpplagueCosmicPenguin: only has 6 wires

18:43.41mindfunkactually, more than that
18:43.51prpplaguemindfunk: hehe thanks it does, hehe
18:44.07prpplaguemindfunk: i'm only a 3 or 4 hours behind at the momment
18:44.16mindfunkwow...
18:45.32prpplaguemindfunk: of course i've been 4 or 5 weeks behind on projects before
18:46.00mindfunkprpplague: yeah, this is bad thoug
18:46.02mindfunkthough
18:46.09mindfunkI claim it's bad hardware
18:46.17mindfunkbut, no one really believes me
18:46.40prpplaguebtdt
18:47.28CosmicPenguinOnce you work for a silicon company, its harder to make that claim
18:47.39CosmicPenguinbecause you will find out very quickly if you are a genius or a complete idiot
18:47.55mindfunkhrm... mebbe I'm an idiot....
18:48.10mindfunkmany people have made that claim before ;)
18:48.41CosmicPenguinIts so much easier to bag on the sillicon designers when they're not in theroom
18:48.55mindfunkactually, imho, it;s worse at silicon cos
18:49.06mindfunkbecause the EEs don't respect sw people
18:49.19CosmicPenguinWorks for me, we don't respect them either
18:49.22mindfunkso, they always assume the sw people are the ones screwing up
18:49.52CosmicPenguinHere, the silicon folks always figure that the software guys will fix any problems that pop up
18:50.01prpplaguehehe
18:50.10mindfunkyeah, but in a silicon company (like the one I work at), they sw guys have less "pull" than the EE guys
18:50.23mindfunkjust cause the company is run by them
18:50.47CosmicPenguinIf a release date slips though, its our fault
18:50.53prpplaguei never actually worked at TI, and i can tell that the sw ppl are low on the totem pole
18:51.16CosmicPenguinIts probably harder at a bigger company
18:51.40CosmicPenguinPlus we create the silicon and sofware together at this site, so all 150 of us sink or swim together
18:52.02prpplagueCosmicPenguin: or get eaten by sharks
18:52.19mindfunkwell, they look for people to feed to the sharks here...
18:52.20CosmicPenguinOh, like we're scared of you and your little tiny ARMs
18:52.27CosmicPenguinoh, the arms are coming, the arms are coming!
18:52.27prpplaguehehe

18:52.51prpplagueis it time to start drinking yet?
18:53.05mindfunkCosmicPenguin: you in austin?
18:53.15mindfunkdoes amd make an arm processor?
18:54.50CosmicPenguinI am in Longmont Colorado, and we definately don't make an ARM processor
18:55.08mindfunkhey... used to live in boulder
18:55.14CosmicPenguinOh, heh
18:55.41CosmicPenguinsmall world
18:55.50mindfunkthis is a longshot, but do you know a guy named Dworkin?

19:31.10T0mWmorning world
19:32.50prpplagueT0mW: hey old fart
19:37.36T0mWprpplague: I feel like the dead today.
19:38.49T0mWprpplague: the new board fits perfectly into the ZipIt, even better than I had hoped!  The miniSD card sticks out 10mils and you have to depress it into the case with a fingernail to eject.
19:39.16prpplaguelovely
19:39.27T0mWprpplague: now I'm looking around for a blind-loader to flash the EP7312 memory
19:40.23prpplagueT0mW: blind-loader? i think i know what you mean, but can you clarify?
19:41.22T0mWprpplague: ep7312 has a blind download mode where it will blindly accept 2K bytes of data off the serial port, put it into RAM, then jump to it after 2k is recieved.
19:42.05prpplagueT0mW: ahh, might want to check with the guys over in #ep93xx , i suspect that its the same protocol they are using
19:42.32T0mWprpplague: thanks Dave.
19:42.40prpplaguenp
19:43.49T0mWI've got about 100volts off the EL supply, but before I try the backlight mod to this unit, I'd like to get a dev system setup and download some code first.

20:32.52GPSFanhttp://www.aibohack.com/zipit/
20:33.21T0mWGPSFan: thank you.  I think I've been there, but all I saw was a wifi downloader.  I'll look again.
20:34.00prpplague"Download the following file and unzip it to a directory on your Windows PC"

20:34.27ibotACTION slaps GPSFan up side the head with a wet fish.
20:34.59T0mWGPSFan: I'll contact him via email and see.  All he has there is the wifi loader.
20:39.28GPSFanT0mW: once he had the wifi downlaoder, most everyone used that except me. he never published the old serial code for frar of novices hoseing their Zipits.
20:39.41GPSFans/frar/fear
20:39.47T0mWah
20:40.14T0mWok, sent him some email.  Not that a loader would be hard to build but if he has something I could build on...
20:40.28T0mWGPSFan: thanks, now get to work!
20:41.06GPSFanit's somewhat similar to the "shoehorn" loader.
20:41.36GPSFanit takes several minutes over the serial.
20:42.57GPSFanthere is a switch in ther kernel config so that the I/O will be mapped correctly if you are running the kernel from the serial download. otherwise the wifi doesn't work, among other things.

21:32.07prpplagueT0mW: nice
21:32.30T0mWprpplague: it surprised me that they left that there
21:32.53T0mWmaybe I missed it, but I went over the board several times to make sure.
21:32.57prpplagueT0mW: i bet it was actually connected to something before, and they just droped the rest of it
21:33.12prpplagueT0mW: we've done that before
21:33.29T0mWprpplague: they have several of those, about 5 pins that go to a via and no place else.

21:34.25T0mWyou're just as bad
21:35.07T0mWto me, anything above 10MIPS is "fast", too much 8051 code in my past. :(
21:38.54prpplaguehehe yea
21:39.12prpplaguei love the really small but i also like it where its usuable in projects
21:39.23prpplaguesee i don't care for the gumstix at all
21:52.08GPSFanT0mW: no, never rang out nCS2. I wonder what they used it for in the pre-pre prod prototypes?
22:36.26CosmicPenguinkergoth: so any progress on adding the vim quilt interaction? :)
22:36.55kergothhehe, not yet
22:37.04CosmicPenguinI could have *just* used it
22:37.14kergothshouldnt take very long, just a matter of adding a couple commands to call out quilt commands
22:37.21CosmicPenguinYou know, you're in a fine looking at stuff and you figure out you need to change it
22:37.24CosmicPenguins/fine/file/
22:37.39kergothcould get fancy and add vim functions to list the current applied patches and stuff, or to insert that information into the file you're editing, or..
22:37.44kergoths/functions/commands/
22:38.09kergoththe version of perl on my dev box is too old to run rej :(
