17:29.53cr2goxboxlive: hi
17:30.04goxboxlivealho sir
17:30.33goxboxlivewell, what you have you been doing. You have been gone for a while now
17:32.17cr2for the first week of march i was in finnland
17:32.29goxboxlivecold?
17:32.37cr2it seems i have found the problem with hermes.
17:32.41cr2cold is now ;)
17:32.58cr2but it was snowing there. but only one day.
17:33.01goxboxliveok, what was the problem
17:33.05goxboxlivei c
17:33.12goxboxlivethe snow is gone here now
17:33.49cr2never been in Oslo.
17:34.05goxboxliveWhat was the problem with hermes?
17:34.09goxboxlivedoes it boot?
17:34.17cr2it does not boot for a very long time.
17:34.36cr2it crashes very early.
17:34.55goxboxliveyes i know that, but are you abel to start X now?
17:35.08cr2i've learned a lot about athena now.
17:35.15cr2the kernel crashes :(
17:35.25cr2X is out of question now.
17:35.43cr2you don't reach even the linux_banner print.
17:35.51goxboxliveok
17:35.54cr2only Uncompressing Linux.............
17:36.01goxboxliveright
17:36.06goxboxliveWhat about athena?
17:36.28goxboxliveIs there someone who has it yet?
17:36.30*** join/#htc-linux TeringTuby (n=maarten@188-116-dyn.ipact.nl)
17:36.34cr2by studying athena i learned about hermes.
17:36.45goxboxliveok
17:36.52cr2EyeOftheStorm wants to buy one.
17:36.55goxboxlive:-)
17:37.06goxboxliveis it released in germany now?
17:37.16cr2yes, by T-MOB.
17:37.24cr2Ameo.
17:37.31goxboxliveok, whats the price?
17:37.48cr2not much, but with some weird contract.
17:38.12goxboxliveok
17:38.26cr2i'll look.
17:39.16goxboxliveI think we should update universal soon cr2. Psokolovsky asked us to do it, to follow the current if you know what i mean.
17:39.52goxboxliveThe IPAQ devices has updated some drivers and if we can use it we also should do the same
17:40.52cr2yes, i know. but it's not wifi.
17:41.15goxboxliveOne of the weeks you where gone they updated some drivers wich broke universal kernel compilation.
17:41.26cr2460€ + relax100.
17:41.28cr2really ?
17:41.45cr2i was compiling only hermes.
17:41.46goxboxliveyes
17:41.56cr2i'll check.
17:42.19goxboxlivei figured out what causes it so i took a look at the latest changes in HX4700 and did the same to my driver and it compiled.
17:42.28goxboxlivepsokolovsky commited the changes for me
17:42.36cr2ah. 900€ without the contract.
17:42.58goxboxlive~change 900 euro to NOK
17:43.34goxboxlivethats about 150€ cheaper than up here :-)
17:43.38cr2570€ + basic . how much is basic...
17:47.15cr29.95€/month
17:47.43cr2808€
17:48.08cr2take the sim card and don't use it.
17:48.43cr2but it's locked to t-mob i can imagine.
17:48.48goxboxliveit's to expensive
17:50.39cr2for such pda ? yes.
17:50.40goxboxliveI am not buying a new HTC device before i have linux running completely on mu Universal :-)
17:50.40cr2universal is still the best option for linux.
17:50.40goxboxliveI want Openmoko on it
17:50.40goxboxliveor Opie2
17:50.41cr2i need to write the ak4641 asoc driver.
17:50.55goxboxliveWasent there another guy who could do that for us?
17:51.05cr2i doubt it.
17:51.16goxboxliveso you can consentrate on the other stuff
17:51.24goxboxlivelike cam and such
17:52.02cr2i've researched the athena, and can say that the universal is the best. for linux.
17:52.09goxboxliveok
17:52.15goxboxlivegood to know
17:52.17cr2yes. so we can adapt the cam drivers.
17:52.30cr2athena has some tough stuff.
17:52.41goxboxlivewhat stuff?
17:52.58cr2the sound and miniSD are on the ATI video asic.
17:53.07goxboxliveok
17:53.12cr2completely undocumented. and the CAM.
17:53.22goxboxlivei c
17:53.25cr2look the BA CAM progress ;)
17:53.30goxboxliveyes
17:53.44goxboxliveThere is one thing i dont understand
17:53.51goxboxliveits about the A780
17:53.54cr2so it is a lot of work really to support it.
17:54.04goxboxlivehasent Motorola released the source for2.4
17:54.08cr2on universal we know everything.
17:54.22goxboxlivewhy is openezx working on 2.6 when they have all the sources
17:54.25cr2yes, it released. e680.sf.net
17:54.50goxboxlivewhy is it so dificult to port to 2.6 from 2.4?
17:54.51cr2the source is ugly. and it's only the kernel source.
17:55.18goxboxlivenot kernel drivers like cam, gps phone and such?
17:55.32cr2the kernel is ported, but the phone communication is difficult.
17:55.40goxboxliveok
17:55.52cr2cam is the same as on the universal (1.4mpix ov9650)
17:56.00goxboxlivei know
17:56.05cr2gps is connected to the phone.
17:56.13goxboxliveright
17:56.37*** join/#htc-linux rob_w (n=bob@p85.212.50.163.tisdip.tiscali.de)
17:56.38cr2i'm a bit unsure how it is done on the athena. will need a real device haret trace to check.
17:56.49goxboxliveright
17:57.31cr2athena has 8GB hdd
17:57.37goxboxlivei know :-)
17:58.01cr2if it's the usb drive (my guess), then miniSD is not needed.
17:58.20cr2cam is not really needed :)
17:58.33cr2so the main problem with athena is the sound.
17:58.45cr2the phone is the same as on hermes.
17:59.26cr2athena has the USB2.0 chipset from philips inside.
17:59.56cr2i've even found a hacked driver for it.
18:00.25cr2http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=AthenaResearch
18:01.18cr2TV out is controlled over i2c, so there is some dedicated chip.
18:01.41cr2i guess nobody will open his 1000€ device to make the pictures soon...
18:02.09cr2but a lot can be done with haret just by tracing i2c.
18:02.37cr2pxa270 is much more hacker-friendly than s3c2442 as we know.

18:15.42goxboxliveI dont know, but i have noticed it before
18:16.00goxboxliveIt was motre stable at 16 than after
18:18.35cr2ok.

20:30.59rob_ware u winning against ati , cr2
20:32.06cr2it is partly similar to the old ati like on ba.
20:32.28cr2i'm working on the register list.
20:32.40rob_wnice
20:32.48rob_wuniversal ?
20:33.16cr2no ;) hermes and athena
20:33.23cr2and trinity.
20:33.50rob_wi was lucky enough to the neo already ;-O
20:34.55rob_wdo you have all 3 ?
20:35.12cr2athena has hsdpa, sirf3, 54mbit wifi, and mpeg4 accel.
20:35.18cr2no of them :)
20:35.21cr2oh.
20:35.24cr2hermes
20:35.41cr2but it's not my own.
20:36.00rob_wyummy
20:36.37cr2universal is still the best "open" phone.
20:37.11cr2it's the only where we will support all the hardware RSN.
20:37.58rob_wyeah
20:38.01rob_wthats great
20:38.12rob_wits a real task to keep track with htc
20:39.14rob_wwhat are the antenna nick names ?
20:39.19cr2not really. we avoid omap, and the rest they do in a pretty standard way. and we have the experience now. i wish blueangel came out right now ;)
20:39.30rob_wathena so to speak
20:39.43cr2t-mob ameo
20:39.48cr2dopod u1000
20:39.54rob_wblueangel was a push
20:40.31cr2unfortunately cp15 gave up too early ;-)
20:41.19cr2we need wifi on ba
20:41.39cr2pxa pcmcia acx100 still does not work.
20:41.50rob_whe was way ahead ,  too much in same ways, that he felt lonely
20:42.03rob_wi had to ged rid of the ba for now
20:42.44rob_wcr2, but i was reported to work for some users
20:42.47cr2where ?
20:42.51rob_wits all in that mystic access area
20:43.04rob_whmm who was it
20:43.43rob_wthe last i was failing on was the get to find the correct memory area to load the firmware to
20:44.15rob_wathena looks a bit bulky , nothing compared to a ba smoothness
20:44.18cr2i think it was solved.
20:44.38cr2the fw loaded, the cpu was ok, but it did not send anything,
20:44.46rob_woh
20:45.50rob_wwell as you said soon even the ba will be history and all moves on
20:46.38cr2ba is too good to drop it.
20:46.43rob_wone of cp15 last words was, " ..what after the device is out for over 4 month we didnt finish the porting, well it doesnt make sense
20:47.40rob_wi really wanna follow the openmoko ui thoughts and see if we managed to make the ui`s a winner
20:47.46cr2he was wrong.
20:47.54cr2is proved to be wrong.
20:47.59rob_wthen our chances of groth will be wrong

23:54.03Kevin2~ping cr2
23:54.05aptpong cr2
23:54.22cr2ok.
23:55.01cr2one small question. can we detect the real ATI SRAM size in an "empirical" way ?
23:55.31cr2by writing 0xaa55++ and reading it back from FB ?
23:55.34Kevin2Not sure what you mean.  I guess we read/write to it and find where it ends.
23:55.40cr2yyes.
23:55.50cr2when you can't read back, it ends.
23:56.16Kevin2Need to check that you don't overflow back to the beginning of ram.
23:56.31Kevin2Did you find why Hermes wont boot Linux?
23:56.43cr2i think yes.
23:57.07cr2the hermes and athena use SRAM + "external" DRAM.
23:57.19cr2why hermes does it, i don't know.
23:57.51cr2for athena it is necessary to know the SRAM size, maybe 480*640*2 is too much for SRAM
23:57.55Kevin2Hrmm.  I didn't see anything like that in the memory controller settings.  Where is the sram at?
23:57.57cr2like on PXA27x
23:58.17cr2that's why i'd like to check the SRAM size
23:58.31cr2older ATI chipsets have 384K SRAM
23:59.27Kevin2The Hermes screen is only 320x240.
23:59.27cr2yes, that's why i'm surprised.
23:59.34cr2and i think newer chips may have more.
