<ignatius_> Well, I finally figured out why none of the kernels (previously compiled and by myself) worked; I'm using Debian on the NanoNote. I found a patch file after scouring the net for solutions, but i'm not knowledgable to covert it to use a current kernel source tree.
<ignatius_> So... anyone know where I can get kernel source that would work for me?
<larsc> hm, this is what gcc generates for lm32 vfork. http://pastebin.com/Jn8rAXVK is there a way to force it to save ra and r11 on the stack after scall has been executed?
<wpwrak> ignatius_: maybe you need to ask on the mailing list. there are only very few people who use debian on the nanonote
<CapnKernel> Anyone here is currently in Beijing?
<kyak> this is how easily wide char support gets killed :)
<viric> kyak: argh
<viric> why he does not want wide char?
<kyak> viric: don't worry, the bug report is already there :)
<viric> ok
<viric> in the nanonote... what provides the functionality of painting characters to the screen? Is it uboot with some tables?
<viric> and what is the status of booting directly linux?
<kyak> i think it's the linux kernel that draws on the screen
<kyak> if i understood you correctly
<viric> uboot writes to the screen
<viric> it says that it loads the kernel
<viric> (at least in my nanonote)
<kyak> ah, you mean the early stage
<viric> I'm curious... who has the tables of characters? :)
<viric> both uboot and the kernel? Or the hw has them?
<viric> I should read uboot I imagine.
<viric> But there are so much ifdef, that it's mad to follow tha.t
<viric> iirc, cbrowser has some functionality about preprocessing
<viric> it would be nice.
<wpwrak> viric: you'll find tables in u-boot, the kernel, your GUI toolkit (or X), etc.
<viric> ah ok
<kristian1aul> okay, problem tracked, there is a problem with CC  briged at the wb_ack_o signal
<kristian1aul> wich seems not to reach the wishbone master ever, geting it ina frozen state...

<kristianpaul> 17:47 < kristianpaul> a SIE-like board with a 4760 SoC?
<kristianpaul> 17:47 < kristianpaul> no fpga, for at least let enought IO for expasion
<kristianpaul> 17:48 < kristianpaul> s/for/but
<kristianpaul> 17:48 < kristianpaul> easy to fit to wolfgang previous idea about 640x480 LCM with resistive touch interface
<wpwrak> kristianpaul: the next "arduino killer" ? :)
<kristianpaul> wpwrak: dunno, also dont find directly relation with
<kristianpaul> for me, ther are some boards called papilo wich implement arduino in fpga
<kristianpaul> agaik,not kicad design but floss i think
<kristianpaul> if you ask me for an arduino killer, my opinion is that
<wpwrak> hmm, an FPGA is an expensive way to kill the arduino
<kristianpaul> or cheap ARM socs eventually will
<kristianpaul> you can kill arduino, but not 8 bits MCU's :)
<kristianpaul> anyway, i just was thinking _mainly_ that droping keyboard from the same PCB, may lead to less layer board
<kristianpaul> USB way to go :-)
<wpwrak> the keyboard consumes one layer, yes
<kristianpaul> and i wonder if the other extra layers is just becase the mess to route stuff because the keyboard been top layer
<wpwrak> but a USB keyboard for a portable device ? i mean, in the days of the Osborne 1, this would have been quite okay, but today ... ? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osborne_1
<kristianpaul> hey, Osborne 1 is a kinda big..
<kristianpaul> keyboards are small and handy, but still the issue that stand it easilly...
<kristianpaul> as is not integrate in the same case, as i undertood..
<kristianpaul> today we have portable tablet-like devices and keyboars like a desktop addon
<kristianpaul> but yeah, still a bit messy for something not in desktop
<kristianpaul> s/in desktop/stand
<wpwrak> also, do you really want to make something that will be compared to things like he iPad ?
<kristianpaul> he...
<kristianpaul> may be something like the kindle? if the usb keyboard is integrated in same case some how...
<kristianpaul> or not usb keyboard? ISP. I2C? well i'm not aware of sourcing of think kind of stuff..
<wpwrak> just gets more difficult. well, you can always make your own
<kristianpaul> and just get more diffcult :-)
<kristianpaul> but do you agree at least of separate keyboard from cpu pcb?
<wpwrak> i think it's easier to have them all together, like in the ben
<kristianpaul> ok
<kristianpaul> but same clamshell style?
<wpwrak> i would go for this, yes
<wpwrak> protects the display, too
<kristianpaul> hum,good point
<wpwrak> mechanically, the hinge is a bit of a challenge, though
<kristianpaul> same size as well?
<wpwrak> yeah, or at least very similar
