2010-05-25 11:19 <kristianpaul> tuxbrain: yes
2010-05-25 11:19 <kristianpaul> tuxbrain: i'm having issues with tp4/tp5 when sending data from computer to nano
2010-05-25 11:19 <kristianpaul> my picocom crashes
2010-05-25 11:37 <tuxbrain> kristianpaul: what uboot?
2010-05-25 11:39 <kristianpaul> tuxbrain: good question
2010-05-25 11:39 <kristianpaul> how i can get the version?
2010-05-25 11:40 <kristianpaul> or do you have same issue in the past?
2010-05-25 11:40 <kristianpaul> i'm about to use last uboot maybe tonight
2010-05-25 11:40 <tuxbrain> I use this one  http://downloads.qi-hardware.com/people/xiangfu/tmp/openwrt-xburst-qi_lb60-u-boot.bin
2010-05-25 11:40 <kristianpaul> tuxbrain: and no other?
2010-05-25 11:40 <tuxbrain> not for serial comunication
2010-05-25 11:40 <kristianpaul> ok
2010-05-25 11:40 <tuxbrain> my father says:"if it work don't touc it" :P
2010-05-25 11:41 <tuxbrain> touc->touch
2010-05-25 11:41 <kristianpaul> well..
2010-05-25 11:41 <kristianpaul> heh
2010-05-25 11:41 <kristianpaul> i dint work yet for me
2010-05-25 11:41 <kristianpaul> so i'm keep toiching

2010-05-25 11:41 <kristianpaul> touching*
2010-05-25 11:42 <tuxbrain> shure I must say may father says just aftet, "Why in the name of all saints have you touch it!!!"
2010-05-25 11:42 <tuxbrain> :P
2010-05-25 11:43 <tuxbrain> aftet->after
2010-05-25 11:43 <kristianpaul> lol
2010-05-25 11:43 <kristianpaul> well
2010-05-25 11:43 <kristianpaul> i cant resist
2010-05-25 11:43 <kristianpaul> ;)
2010-05-25 11:43 <tuxbrain> must leave
2010-05-25 11:44 <kristianpaul> bye
2010-05-25 16:26 <cain__> hi
2010-05-25 16:26 <cain__> I have a question
2010-05-25 16:26 <cain__> The serial port RX line is enabled ?
2010-05-25 16:27 <cain__> I'm trying to make a loopback and minicom
2010-05-25 16:27 <cain__> and doesn't works
2010-05-25 16:27 <cain__> :(
2010-05-25 16:28 <cain__> I mean RX of ttyS0
2010-05-25 16:38 <Xakh> so, what's new in fosslamd?
2010-05-25 16:38 <Xakh> *fossland
2010-05-25 16:39 <Xakh> any awesome new xburst ports?
2010-05-25 16:40 <Xakh> anyone here?
2010-05-25 16:41 <Xakh> zear: ping
2010-05-25 16:41 <zear> hey Xakh
2010-05-25 16:41 <Xakh> hiya
2010-05-25 16:41 <zear> not much here, working on my thesis
2010-05-25 16:42 <Xakh> ah. what's it on?
2010-05-25 16:42 <zear> boring stuff
2010-05-25 16:42 <zear> don't like google to know (this channel is monitored ;))
2010-05-25 16:42 <Xakh> haha alright
2010-05-25 16:49 <tuxbrain_away> cain__: using the lastest oficial uboot you must press Power+S to activate serial RX
2010-05-25 16:50 <tuxbrain_away> Power+S to boot the BNN
2010-05-25 17:05 <cain__> Hi David
2010-05-25 17:06 <cain__> is Carlos
2010-05-25 17:06 <cain__> I'm on SAKC :(
2010-05-25 17:06 <cain__> I've already wrote a simple program to change the RX pin functionality
2010-05-25 17:06 <cain__> works fine :)
2010-05-25 17:08 <tuxbrain> Hi carlos :) I was to writting you a mail :) are one of this boards on the way to tuxbrain yet?
2010-05-25 17:09 <tuxbrain> I have read some verilog tutorials and I realize I have done this before :)
2010-05-25 17:09 <tuxbrain> at University and I have was not bad at it
2010-05-25 17:10 <tuxbrain> Matricula de honor :P
2010-05-25 17:10 <tuxbrain> We use Altera soft instead of Verilog, and the acronim of HDL was diferent in Spanish
2010-05-25 17:19 <tuxbrain> I must say the things we do there where very "simple" and elevator with memory control, weather sensible irrigating sistem control etc... nothing compared implement a full cpu but at least I'm not so afraid to mess with the fpga :P, I think I can start a beguiners tutorial from a beguinner
2010-05-25 17:25 <cain__> Hi David
2010-05-25 17:25 <cain__> great, matricula de honor jejeje que nerd :)
2010-05-25 17:25 <cain__> I'm talking with some people here for mount 9 sakc boards
2010-05-25 17:26 <cain__> they have a pick and place machine
2010-05-25 17:26 <cain__> the first one I've soldered at hand
2010-05-25 17:26 <cain__> but is very tedious
2010-05-25 17:26 <tuxbrain> sure, too many pins and no value added to do so
2010-05-25 17:27 <cain__> yes
2010-05-25 17:27 <cain__> maybe this week we can mount the 9 boards
2010-05-25 17:27 <cain__> they will mount the boards for free  :)
2010-05-25 17:27 <cain__> so I'll be waiting for their call
2010-05-25 17:28 <tuxbrain> so then I guess the 10 saks already mounted have owner :) I hope we can see some publications from them
2010-05-25 17:28 <cain__> I'll send 5 to Europe, I think that one is for you
2010-05-25 17:29 <cain__> another for rafa
2010-05-25 17:29 <cain__> 3 for me and my team
2010-05-25 17:29 <tuxbrain> from the already mounted or the next samples bathc?
2010-05-25 17:30 <qwebirc22428> hi
2010-05-25 17:30 <tuxbrain> hi qwebirc22428
2010-05-25 17:30 <qwebirc22428> any body from BRasil?
2010-05-25 17:30 <tuxbrain> methril is from there but I think is away now
2010-05-25 17:31 <qwebirc22428> tanks every all
2010-05-25 17:31 <cain__> I've already wrote some pages about HW/SW interface on SAKC
2010-05-25 17:31 <cain__> in spanish
2010-05-25 17:32 <tuxbrain> on the wiki? give link and I will take a read
2010-05-25 17:33 <cain__> wait
2010-05-25 17:33 <tuxbrain> cain__: what are the main difference between sack fpga and elphel/milkymist one?
2010-05-25 17:33 <tuxbrain> size?
2010-05-25 17:34 <tuxbrain> same modules can work on both without recoding?
2010-05-25 17:34 <tuxbrain> if it fits in size?

2010-05-25 17:35 <cain__> http://en.qi-hardware.com/wiki/Scope/es
2010-05-25 17:36 <tuxbrain> :) mmm good compendium :)
2010-05-25 17:37 <cain__> jeje
2010-05-25 17:41 <tuxbrain> it's a pitty we don't have a free HDL compiler
2010-05-25 17:43 <cain__> sure
2010-05-25 17:43 <tuxbrain> having the fpga binary uploader, would be awesome to have full fpga related stuff needed inside SACK
2010-05-25 17:44 <cain__> but you can download webpack form xilinx
2010-05-25 17:44 <cain__> is free
2010-05-25 17:48 <tuxbrain> I'm not saying things are so bad :) just searching for the best :) , having a free as beer compiler for x86 arch is better than expensive propietary soft :)
2010-05-25 17:48 <tuxbrain> I hope it also works on 64bits arch
2010-05-25 17:52 <cain__> jeje
2010-05-25 17:52 <cain__> yes
2010-05-25 17:52 <cain__> I can configure the .bit file from SAKC
2010-05-25 17:52 <cain__> i don't need external applications
2010-05-25 17:53 <cain__> I'm using some GPIOs for drive de FPGA's JTAG port
2010-05-25 17:53 <steve|m> remembers some guy saying that he has a FPGA bitstream reverse engineering group at his university
2010-05-25 17:55 <larsc> do they pulish their results somewhere?
2010-05-25 17:55 <cain__> mmm great
2010-05-25 17:56 <cain__> but is a hard task
2010-05-25 17:56 <steve|m> currently searching chatlogs to find out who it was
2010-05-25 17:57 <cain__> many people working in reconfigurable computing change some info on .bit files
2010-05-25 17:57 <cain__> they know the .bit architecture
2010-05-25 17:57 <cain__> but, the problem is the P&R algorithm and the internal architecture
2010-05-25 17:58 <cain__> Right now I'm working with lm32 on SAKC
2010-05-25 17:58 <cain__> works fine
2010-05-25 17:58 <cain__> I'm trying to run plasm, bu I can't
2010-05-25 17:59 <cain__> I want to use plasma in my computer architecture class
2010-05-25 18:00 <cain__> David the main difference of SAKC FPGA is size
2010-05-25 18:00 <cain__> they needs a lot of multipliers, ram blocks,
2010-05-25 18:02 <steve|m> hm, don't find it anymore, but found something googling a bit
2010-05-25 18:02 <steve|m> http://hackitoergosum.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/FPGA-Challenge-Sebastien-Bourdeauducq.pdf
2010-05-25 18:06 <steve|m> but it doesn't really go in detail, it's more like a general description
2010-05-25 18:07 <cain__> yes
2010-05-25 18:07 <cain__> many years ago I've worked with jbits
2010-05-25 18:07 <cain__> a java tool for manipulate bitstreams
2010-05-25 18:07 <cain__> I remember that some people make some applications based on this tool
2010-05-25 18:10 <tuxbrain> I want to implement a module for the elphel camera that in adition of the high resolution high fps video output gives low res low fps output to use a small computer like Nano or SACK, as visor to where is cam aiming, due I have no Idea on how to do so, I think SACK can be a good sandbox to my fisrt aproaches and tests.
2010-05-25 18:12 <tuxbrain> in adition, can the SACK FPGA be converted in a full ethernet card?
2010-05-25 18:14 <tuxbrain> like this http://opencores.org/project,ethmac
2010-05-25 18:14 <tuxbrain> or is too big to bee on sack?
2010-05-25 18:38 <tuxbrain> another interesting core to test http://opencores.org/project,usbhostslave :P
2010-05-25 19:07 <jd823592> Hello, do you know any other open notebook similar to touchbook?
