09:48.01kiozenrob_w|laptop: hi, cr2 told me that you might be able to fix the log at apt.rikers.org.
09:48.14rob_w|laptop? no not really

09:55.45rob_w|laptopis the guy .. what is it taht you want to fix ?
09:56.11kiozenlog is not working for days
09:57.57kiozenmoment, wrong address. this log is not working: http://irclog.iclem.net/?chan=htc-linux
09:58.07kiozendamn bookmarks :)
09:58.32kiozenthought I bookmarked apt.rikers
10:09.28cr2morning
10:10.24cr2Foxdie: i think swetland is the only person who can give a qualified answer, but i'm not sure if he is allowed to do it ;-)
10:15.01cr2Foxdie: i suspect that the msm7x00 chip can't use the acceleration for fullscreen pixmaps. 7200A is probably different. it's like everybody and his friend says that sirf3 is a 20 channel GPS receiver, while it has the usual 12 hardware channels.
10:15.39Foxdieits my understanding of GPS that you can't see more than 12 satellites at a time anyway
10:15.49Foxdieso all these 32 channel receivers are useless
10:16.31cr2for the current GPS sat geometry, yes
10:16.49FoxdieI doubt they'll ever launch more satellites
10:17.33cr2but there are 12 or so russian sats (though they are not compatible), maybe galileo will produce something useful .
10:19.01cr2what you really see with a correlator channel is the PRN, so it's just the capability to see different PRNs
10:25.20cr2Foxdie: "Do HTC phones actually suck?". there is nothing worse than a wince mob :) It's qualcomm that actually sucks. by not publishing the chip specs.
10:37.29*** join/#htc-linux dcordes (n=user0815@f054166200.adsl.alicedsl.de)
10:40.59aLeSD_Galileo .. will never be succesfull
10:41.41aLeSD_cause it isn't managed by militars
10:41.52aLeSD_it's pubblic
10:42.13aLeSD_they will spend 100 years to complete
10:48.11dcordesaLeSD, glaileo what?
10:48.17cr2aLeSD_: hm,hm, ESA.
10:48.33aLeSD_cr2 : no military
10:48.59aLeSD_cr2 . but in GOd we trusyt
10:49.13aLeSD_cr2 do u know an experto of LCD ?
10:49.15aLeSD_please
10:49.40aLeSD_I need a good chat with him ... and better if it knows lcdc.c
10:49.50cr2aLeSD_: if the french really want it, i'd trust them to do it. it's only the question of $$$.
10:49.55aLeSD_I mean the display controller used in OMAP85
10:50.12cr2aLeSD_: read the pdf doc
10:50.38aLeSD_cr2 : I belive that there's alot of people that want it ... but the problem is the way of working in the public stuff
10:51.32aLeSD_cr2: there's no a programming reference manual ... I can't understand how work the controller knowing only the meaning of the registers
10:51.43cr2aLeSD_: then the SPL is the best data source. we are stuck with it for MSM anyway.
10:51.59kiozenaLeSD_: be patient. Things always take longer if the EU is involved. But in the end it worked out well, so far ;)
10:52.51aLeSD_I need pH5
10:53.45cr2kiozen: n560 is unbelievably lightweight. and it runs at 104MHz.
10:54.05kiozenhuh=!
10:54.27cr2says haret.
10:54.46kiozenharet! ^^
10:55.09kiozenbut who need 604Mhz anyway
10:55.17cr2the lccr4 double bit is set like on the uni, that's good.
10:55.20cr2624 :)
10:55.42kiozenit's more interesting how low the frequency can drop in linux :)
10:56.16kiozenand how good this is controled by the kernel, and if I can control it from user land
10:56.17cr2i'm gathering more hardware data, so i'll certainly fix the boot problem.
10:56.42cr2there are some electrical limits, and pxa27x bugs ;)
10:57.51kiozenlet's see. good hw control is crucial for a decent GPSr
11:04.06cr2kiozen: is the second usb port on the cable for the USB host ? i don't read the docs, you know :)
11:04.22*** join/#htc-linux BabelO (i=fcr@gateway/tor/x-1a029945121e4e2d)
11:05.09cr2then i may boot off the usb stick, like i do it on athena.
11:05.30kiozencr2: me either :) I always thought it compensates the used port
11:05.44kiozenbut it might be part of the loox usb port
11:06.14cr2it seems to have 2 separate cables, so my guess is that it's the usb host port.
11:06.50cr2the cpu usb host itself is active and working.
11:06.51kiozencr2: but don't make me stand in the woods with a loox, a cable and a USB stick.
11:07.06goxboxlivehi cr2
11:07.14cr2kiozen: is also takes power...
11:07.31kiozenthe squirrels will drop dead laughing from the tree
11:07.31BabelOhi
11:07.40cr2kiozen: but it allows to debug the boot problems better. because you don't depend on the SD.
11:07.47cr2hi goxboxlive BabelO
11:07.54cr2lol
11:07.54kiozenthat's right
11:08.05goxboxliveI figured out that i am able to have a roadmap in fullscreen on my universal yesterday, But how the heck do i get out of fullscreen mode.
11:08.11goxboxlivealo BabelO
11:08.19kiozenhi BabelO, what's up, u r in Hamburg?
11:08.30cr2goxboxlive: i've asked tsdogs about it long time ago :)
11:08.46BabelOkiozen: no, in february
11:08.48LunohoDre
11:08.59LunohoDis there a vnc server for wm?
11:09.02kiozengoxboxlive: you get it fullscreen in qpe?
11:09.05cr2goxboxlive: is the old map better than OSM ?
11:09.45LunohoDBabelO: ts doesn't work on prophet/wizard
11:09.50cr2kiozen: yes, but there is no way to get out. must be a 'long tap' menu entry i guess.
11:09.50BabelOLunohoD: not vnc, but similar
11:10.12LunohoDBabelO: i need also linux client
11:10.13cr2LunohoD: it's the 0xfffc1000 spi port driver missing.
11:10.18kiozenI would be happy to get in on the first glance :)
11:10.29BabelOLunohoD: ok, i m not surprised, you have to check the other spi port
11:11.22LunohoDcr2, BabelO: where is it?
11:11.25cr2LunohoD: the ts_* tools are included in tslib ipk.
11:11.27BabelOLunohoD: look at kcemirror, it is the client for linux, and it embbed also the server to send to wm device
11:11.42LunohoDcr2: we have ts_ tools
11:11.46cr2ok.
11:11.56LunohoDbut where can i define the spi port?
11:12.06LunohoDBabelO: thanx
11:12.16BabelOLunohoD: in the source plat-omap/devices.c something like that
11:12.22cr2LunohoD: you can't. you need to write a driver for it.
11:12.46cr2the protocol is very simple from what i've seen in the SPL and touch.dll
11:12.52BabelOcr2: i hope they use same register at same position, maybe a different bus shift
11:13.34cr2BabelO: i've put all the regs into wiki. and there is some of my notes in the logs.
11:14.02cr2BabelO: i've not looked at the docs, it's just from the wince.
11:14.14LunohoDis there any spi port driver already?
11:14.43LunohoD[12:10] < BabelO> LunohoD: ok, i m not surprised, you have to check the other  spi port
11:14.52cr2LunohoD: yes, but i don't know if they are relevant.
11:14.53LunohoDi do not understand
11:15.08LunohoDcr2: what's the difference?
11:15.44*** join/#htc-linux p3t3r__ (n=chatzill@uk-s9.uni-kiel.de)
11:15.53LunohoDi see uwire code in devices.c
11:16.32LunohoDis it kind of spi?
11:17.10LunohoDsorry for my noob questions :)
11:17.29aLeSD_I can't punt a printk int the LCD irq handler ... too many ... and the kernel crash
11:17.43aLeSD_LunohoD ...  np I'm noober then u
11:18.37Foxdiecr2: in response to earlier, I agree, the fact that developers like yourselves have to make "educated guesses" as to how to get a particular component to work instead of having all the resources available to you
11:19.10FoxdieI think it would be beneficial if we had an "agent" in HTC to provide us with all the technical documentation we need to get things working properly and reliably :)"
11:20.52cr2Foxdie: i guess they'll do it with pleasure, but they are constrained by atis, qualcomms & co.
11:21.17cr2Foxdie: htc produces great hardware, but they have _zero_ passion on writing any software.
11:22.16cr2judging from their binary code, they just pack something workable together and move along.
11:23.45cr2LunohoD: it may have different control/data registers. i've looked at the 5912 SPI docs, and this spi port is certainly different.
11:23.54cr2bbl
11:31.44joschkopf79LunohoD: i was also looking into touchscreen
11:32.07joschkopf79LunohoD: uwire is a kind of SPI, but OMAP has both "normal" SPI and uwire
11:32.20joschkopf79however, i saw a SPI driver for OMAP2
11:32.39joschkopf79idea is to try to adapt this to OMAP1
11:32.52joschkopf79but didn't check this out in detail yey
11:35.21goxboxlivekiozen: yes
11:38.08LunohoDjoschkopf79: i'll try to disassemble touch.dll
11:54.23sadeness_LunohoD, shhh, reverse enginering is a crime.
11:55.03LunohoDi don't care

12:30.41dcordes<dcordes> saying read eula first
12:30.53dcordesI can make you a photo
12:31.07kiozenhm, the sticker on my garmin listed all bogus patents they claim
12:31.44cr2kiozen: that's true. they are all US patents, why should we care anyway ?
12:31.44kiozento be fair: "Gebrauchsmuster" == patent for the U.S.
12:34.12aLeSD_cr2 it runs Microsoft Windows CE 5.1.70, the cor eis Samsung S3C2440
12:34.26cr2kiozen: the only problem i have with this stuff is to separate plastic and paper. der umwelt zuliebe ;)
12:34.36kiozenlol

14:45.36CVirusWhat's the best Linux supported HTC device ?
14:45.43CVirusWith GSM and Wifi
14:45.49BabelOhtc universal
14:45.49FoxdieAt this point, Universla
14:45.53Foxdie*Universal
14:46.02CVirushmm
14:46.20CVirusthe GSM is working properly .. I can make and receive calls and sms ?
14:46.34Foxdiewith Opie II image, yes
14:46.39CVirusinteresting
14:46.43CVirusI read that there were some sound problems
14:47.18CVirusany idea ?
14:47.31Foxdiethe only sound problems are there are no system sounds
14:47.39Foxdieyou can still play music files and make/receive phone calls fine
14:47.45Foxdiespeakerphone doesn't seem to work though
14:48.00cr2CVirus: yes, there is no sensible gui for the audio multiplex.
14:48.21cr2Foxdie: spekaerphone ?
14:48.22Foxdieits a very nice interface as well
14:48.33BabelOFoxdie: system sound seem to be solved, when you receive call your heard a ring
14:48.36Foxdiefast, sharp, straight to the point
14:48.58Foxdieno web browser or console though, although you can bail out of OPIE to get a console as an emergency
14:49.14Foxdiecr2: you know, speakerphone, aka loudspeaker / hands free voice call
14:49.26CVirusbattery ?
14:49.43Foxdiebattery? what?
14:49.46cr2Foxdie: the stereo builtin spekaers ?
14:50.00CVirusHow long would it stay if left idle ?
14:50.05CViruspower management is working or not ?
14:50.06cr2CVirus: charging is supported. at leats in the non-suspended state
14:50.11Foxdiecr2: yes, speakerphone would mean the phone call sound comes out of speakers
14:50.16Foxdiewindows does it
14:50.22cr2CVirus: suspend/resume is working.
14:50.43Foxdieany news on those bugs I submitted by the way? such as keyboard needs disabling in tablet mode?
14:50.46cr2Foxdie: i've switched it off. because there is no gui to control it.
14:51.18CVirusso which is the recommended Linux image ? OpenMoko, Qtopia, GPE, OPIE ?
14:51.21Foxdiehow hard can it be to develop applications for OPIE?
14:51.42Foxdiethere was a library back for the zaurus that let people make OPIE applications easily
14:51.48cr2Foxdie: you can do qt4 programming ?
14:52.11FoxdieIs it a custom language?
14:52.14cr2CVirus: qtopia is where we spend most of the effort.
14:52.16Foxdieor is it like C?
14:52.21CVirusI can't seem to find the device sold on any online stores !
14:52.26CViruscr2: cool
14:52.27cr2Foxdie: c++, but you need to know the toolkit.
14:52.32FoxdieCVirus: its a couple of years old now
14:52.38Foxdiewant a picture of it?
14:52.47CViruswouldn't mind :-)
14:53.05cr2CVirus: but openmoko works too. it's just as unfinished as in its "native" environment
14:53.14CVirusI understand
14:53.25Foxdieits sold as the HTC Universal / i-mate JasJar / O2 XDA Exec / T-Mobile MDA Pro, there are pictures and linux info for it here: http://www.handhelds.org/moin/moin.cgi/Universal
14:53.47cr2Foxdie: they peddle the msm7x00 phones instead. maybe the old phones were too good 8)
14:53.54Foxdieyeah :)
14:54.03FoxdieI still think we can get more out of this 520MHz CPU >:)
14:54.10Foxdielike Doom :D
14:54.12cr2Foxdie: 624 :)
14:54.19CVirushehe
14:54.23FoxdieI thought Universal CPU was 520MHZ?
14:54.27cr2and ati on some phones.
14:54.40cr2yes, it's the nominal value.
14:54.56Foxdieand Universal has ATI Imageon right?
14:54.56CVirusso the imate JasJar is the same as HTC Universal ?
14:55.02FoxdieCVirus: yes
14:55.11Foxdiebut be careful, there's a different one similarly called the JasJam
14:55.12CVirushow come ?
14:55.15cr2Foxdie: unfortunately not. ba/hima/athena
14:55.17FoxdieRebranding.
14:55.26cr2Foxdie: hermes/trinity
14:55.38FoxdieUniversal doesn't have Imageon? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
14:55.44cr2jasjam= magician ?
14:55.46FoxdieStuck with crap 2D graphics :)
14:56.03cr2Foxdie: imageon is 2D ;)
14:56.07Foxdiealthough there's one 3D flight simulator that works quite well under WinCE
14:56.25Foxdiewell yes, but accelerated 2D graphics
14:56.30cr2uni is stuck with the frambuffer in SDRAM. that's what is really bad.
14:56.48FoxdieIn which case
14:56.56cr22D+idct accel. it's pseudo-3D for me.
14:57.07CVirusDoes it have GPS by the way ?
14:57.10FoxdieCVirus: you want to buy a black Universal with 2GB SD and an extended battery? ;)
14:57.22cr2CVirus: uni ? it's not soldered ;)
14:57.41FoxdieIt doesn't have GPS, but you can easily use bluetooth GPS dongle
14:57.46CVirusFoxdie: price ?
14:57.51CViruscr2: huh ?
14:58.04FoxdieMake an offer CVirus ;)
14:58.24CVirusI know nothing about prices
14:58.34CVirusWhere do you live in the first place ?
14:59.11Foxdieits second hand, slightly scuffed and dented, but works 100%, has upgraded battery pack plus original battery
14:59.15FoxdieUnited Kingdom
15:00.03CVirusany idea how would it reach Egypt ?
15:00.25Foxdiescreen is still bright, has Windows Mobile 6 upgrade on it, lots of software for Windows Mobile including TomTom 5 and 6, and 2GB SD formatted for both linux and windows, has latest OPIE 2 image on it
15:00.43FoxdieBy recorded and insured airmail I guess
15:01.14CVirushow much would the shipping cost ?
15:01.14Foxdieoh and its unlocked ;)
15:01.17cr2Foxdie: i've reflashed wince5 back, to save me the PITA with the watchdog.
15:01.27Foxdiewatchdog?
15:01.33Foxdieand what pain the ass with it?
15:01.33CVirusand how would I pay you ?
15:01.45cr2CVirus: next you'll ask about the customs charges ;)
15:01.59CVirushehe
15:02.04FoxdieEgypt has to pay customs charges?
15:02.13CVirusI really need such device till I get my Neo1973
15:02.19CVirusFoxdie: sure
15:02.40Foxdiewell, in good condition they sell on ebay for £189
15:02.55cr2Foxdie: the running watchdog can#t be disabled in pxa27x. you need a daemon/kernel thread to update it periodically ;)
15:03.08CVirusFoxdie: pound esterling that is ?
15:03.50Foxdiemine has extended battery and normal battery, 2 chargers, 2 stylus, 2 sets of headphones (grey and black), 2GB SD, lots of software, but is slightly dented and scuffed
15:04.15Foxdieoh and a rigid vibration-free car cradle
15:04.26Foxdieso I guess it works out the same price with all the accessories

15:40.43kiozens/theaten/threaten/
15:42.52cr2kiozen: qlandkarteM is ok. it's the gdal dependency to threaten him :)
15:45.20cr2kiozen: i've an interesting problem now. how do i unify the palettes of the single tiles in a layer ? and what is the optimal m/pix, should it match the "standard" mercator 2^z line?
15:48.20kiozenthe first is image processing.  you have to quantize all shades of a color to one. The second one I do not understand your problem.
15:50.59*** join/#htc-linux goxboxlive (n=goxboxli@81.80-202-132.nextgentel.com)
16:08.03cr2kiozen: if i scan a map, what is the optimal m/pix size ?
16:08.15cr2goxboxlive: hi
16:09.00kiozencr2: depends on you scanner, the scale of the map and how much data you want to handle
16:09.59cr2goxboxlive: i've read on a moko list that the qtopia advantage over openmoko is "*There is a gps app on qtopia" ?
16:10.34cr2kiozen: ok
16:12.23kiozenit surely makes no sense to scan a 100000:1 map with 1200dpi and pretend that is as good as a 10000:1
16:13.08kiozenI would say a 300dpi are more than enought
16:15.11cr2i have an A3 atlas, but the 300dpi may be too much for it, so it's always a very individual choice.
16:18.54kiozencr2: yes, my top10 map of bavaria is monster of 6.5 GB of data. Top50 is small compared to that.
16:19.53kiozena street map A3 you will scan with <100dpi
16:20.22cr2what tile size do you have, and what compression ?
16:20.54kiozenyou can't get more information than the dpi used to print the map on paper. And that is low.
16:21.21kiozentop10 tilesize is 256x256
16:21.37kiozenusual geotiff compression
16:21.44cr2i've scanned A3 at 300dpi because of the text strings. it's ~55MB per list. for a 1:5000 map it's not nice.
16:21.46cr2usual ?
16:22.02kiozen3.5 GB GeoGrid -> 3.0 GB GeoTiff :)
16:22.18cr2usual == deflate ?
16:22.30kiozenmoment...
16:23.00kiozenyes deflate
16:23.52cr2ok.
16:23.59cr2i've checked too :)
16:24.15cr2and 50 m/pix, btw.
16:24.16kiozenyou should use the same dpi like your screen
16:24.40cr2yes
16:24.46kiozenso 100dpi should be fine and give you a 1:1 image
16:25.27cr212.5 on the hires
16:25.45cr2universal/n560 has 222dpi
16:26.15kiozenyes the map is smaller than on the pc
16:26.26kiozenbut pc resolution is ok
16:26.44kiozenand this is around 96 dpi
16:27.21cr2oh. 1m/pix for the best ?
16:27.33cr2you'll see the trees :)
16:27.50kiozenwell that is top10
16:28.01kiozenyou can count trees :)
16:28.19cr2the real question for me is if it should be 1 or 1.2 (1.19....)
16:28.55cr2well, but then it should be spherical mercator too. like in some not named systems :)
16:29.16kiozenAs QLandkarte does not care, better don't scale the bitmap
16:29.29kiozenscaling == getting lousy
16:30.01kiozenthe system not to name has better base data to scale
16:30.04kiozen:)
16:30.14cr20.6 :)
16:30.42cr2but it's not always ortorectified in an optimal way.
16:31.42kiozenanway with scanned maps you have to stick with the projection of the map
16:31.45cr2i wish to have a nice gui for that, but i'm too lazy to modify georeferencer plugin for qgis.
16:32.16cr2hmm. often you don't know it.
16:32.31cr2or it is intentionally distorted.
16:32.51kiozenI wish to have a working proj4 4.6, there seems to be a bug
16:33.04cr2isn't 4.5.0 the last ?
16:33.09kiozennope
16:33.36kiozenbut 4.6 does not read in the correction coefficients for germany
16:33.41cr2ok.
16:33.59cr2btw, do you still hardcode the grid shift ?
16:34.04kiozenthat make me live at the other side of the river, ;)
16:34.19cr2yeah.
16:34.21kiozennever did!?
16:34.53cr2it was in the code before.

16:51.36cr2yes, village names and such.

17:02.27reggie_ok well they claim it's a cab file i received it as a rar file
17:02.45cr2you need to decompress it.

17:35.36cr2tsdogs: the latest roadmap version does not like the polygons with rings. but it also does not have such rendering bugs anymore
17:36.23tsdogscr2: what u mean with rings? polygons which are closed (last point = first point) ?
17:36.32cr2my problem now is that the cgpsmapper is a buggy program too, because it can't convert the rings in .mp into proper rings in .shp
17:36.52cr2polygons are always closed. per shapefile spec.
17:37.20cr2rings are the internal polygons inside the main polygon.
17:38.02tsdogscr2: ok but that should make it a new polygon I think
17:38.03cr2cgpsmapper made bugg may be intentional
17:38.33cr2no, just think about an island in a lake.
17:39.09cr2heh, it seems i need to write a proper .mp parser ;)
17:39.10tsdogsho, that was discussed on the ml, and that's a problem of layers
17:39.15tsdogs:)
17:39.38tsdogscr2: I think that'd be nice anyway.
17:40.15kiozencr2: aren't islands just a layer problem?
17:40.25cr2hmm. it can be formulated this way too. after some initial prereprocessing ;)
17:40.33kiozenGarmin makes quite some layer errors, too
17:40.42cr2kiozen: not in the .mp formal
17:40.59kiozenpolygons are drawn one after another
17:41.02cr2.mp follows the shapefile definition of a polygon.
17:41.09cr2as a polygon with rings.
17:41.20kiozenthus an island has to be drawn after a lake
17:41.40kiozenhm, that is not the easy way
17:41.44cr2kiozen: it's the filling problem
17:42.06kiozenit's easier to draw the lake and next the island
17:42.10cr2you should not fill the island in the first place.
17:42.29cr2yes, but it requires preprocessing.
17:42.30kiozenwhy not?
17:43.00kiozento calculate a ring is much harder
17:43.28tsdogscr2: also consider approximation for the zoom level...
17:45.21cr2tsdogs: if the routing will be resolved in .img, i'm wondering if it's a better idea to switch to libgarmin instead of .rdm
17:46.10cr2tsdogs: .rdm does not support points...
17:46.51tsdogscr2: are there any real difference in the drawing part? we could implement a new db engine... but I'm not sure how easy it would be.
17:47.24kiozendrawing is the easiest part :)
17:47.32cr2tsdogs: it's pita, i'm sure ;)
17:47.59cr2kiozen: i'm not quite sure :)
17:48.25cr2kiozen: roadmap is 'visually' much faster than qlandkarte. with the same map.
17:49.02kiozenbecause I don't do it very smart
17:49.23kiozenbut after a year I am smarter :)
17:49.27tsdogslol
17:49.44kiozenyou can store the polylines as array
17:49.51cr2roadmap make it smarter, but the code is a completely unreadable mess ;)
17:50.01kiozenand let proj do the transformation as block
17:50.32cr2kiozen: the proj must be fixed.
17:50.44kiozen?
17:51.15cr2and it should be the mercator, so you'll have the sane distance calculations.
17:51.47kiozenyou can choose mercartor :)
17:52.07cr2i don't need a realtime reprojection in such app.
17:52.47cr2it wastes cpu cycles.
17:53.30cr2i wish somebody has modified the gps firmware to produce x_merc,y_merc instead of lat/long.
17:53.48kiozenno!!!!
17:53.58cr2why ?
17:54.16kiozenthat will be a pita because of the latitude of true scale
17:54.33kiozengreenland is not the size of africe
17:54.46kiozens/africe/africa/
17:55.12cr2if you are such a purist, you can grab the raw XYZ geocentric.
17:55.43kiozenyou can't calculate a distbce with mercator
17:55.51cr2cs2cs +proj=geocent +to +proj=whatever :)
17:56.20kiozenthen do it in wgs84 and project to whatever you like
17:56.30cr2yes, i know. but it's the lesser evil. and de-facto all the imagery is in mercator.
17:56.42cr2it wastes cpu cycles.
17:57.07kiozenif you do proj on the fly you can change lat_0 and everything is well
17:57.07cr2the gps receiver converts XYZ to wgs84 internally.
17:57.26cr2as in  cs2cs +proj=geocent +to +proj=latlong +datum=WGS84
17:57.54kiozenand with pj_transform you can do that over a block very efficently
17:57.59cr2and then you tell me do do 1 more reprojection.
17:58.40cr2yes, but 1 reprojection is better than 2 reprojections. good for your battery too :)
17:58.58kiozentell srifIII :)
17:59.15cr2"market" wants wgs84
17:59.50cr2ask a joe random gps user what is +proj=geocent, and why it's good.
18:00.25kiozenwell you need just a projection independent format
18:00.39kiozenok, dinner, bbl
18:00.49cr2no. XYZ is the natural raw format.
18:01.32cr2it's how you calculate a fix in the first place.

18:44.15AlGeBabelo: hi, any BA progress?
18:45.02BabelOAlGe: other try you can do is to set z1=z2 in drivers/misc/adc/tsc2200_adc_ssp.c
18:45.43BabelOAlGe: no, i have lot of work these day for my office, so no really time to test
18:45.47AlGez is pressure?
18:46.06AlGeBabelo: same for me
18:47.03BabelOAlGe: yes, ts-adc.c driver use z2-z1 to detect pressure and debounce
18:47.13cr2kiozen: in theory it's true, but i think they are exaggerating. sirf stores ephemeris & co. in internal SRAM. it also has flash, but i don't know the sirf firmware internals very well.
18:47.31cr2kiozen: "ist fälschlicherweise die Tastenkombination für einen Hardreset angegeben"
18:47.37BabelOAlGe: but tsc2200 has already a bit register to detect touch on screen, i use it before each read
18:47.48cr2kiozen: i feel confirmed. for not reading the docs :)
18:48.49BabelOAlGe: so maybe z1 and z2 are not really needed, you can look at our old drivers/input/touchscreen/tsc2200_ts.c to understand
18:48.56AlGeBabelo: that means with z1=z2 ts-adc will not see any pressure?
18:50.10BabelOAlGe: this driver was working nicer
18:50.25AlGeI will have a look. I tried with some gpe-paint programm to draw some non-interrupted line: it is impossible, you always get a dotted line
18:51.43BabelOAlGe: did you try with ts_test tools ?
18:52.05AlGeno, is it in oe?
