2010-10-19 00:05 roh: ok, the schematic is done 2010-10-19 00:05 roh: http://img132.imageshack.us/img132/6814/rfidschematic.png 2010-10-19 00:06 lisandropm: http://img132.imageshack.us/img132/6814/rfidschematic.png 2010-10-19 00:07 well, what do u guys think? 2010-10-19 00:08 brantar looks fine 2010-10-19 00:08 roh: so its a go ahead to buy the converter? 2010-10-19 00:09 roh: what is the best way to connect the usb cable to the reader without getting a shot? 2010-10-19 00:09 roh: *short 2010-10-19 00:11 solderin iron 2010-10-19 00:12 roh: ok, should i slide the convertor over the reader?  if not, how do i connect it to the reader? 2010-10-19 00:13 sorry for the seemingly mindless questions, ive never done any electronics before... im only experiencced in the prebuilt side of things :D 2010-10-19 00:13 ? 2010-10-19 00:13 roh: should i nevermind, i think i just answered my previous question. 2010-10-19 00:14 Well thanks for the help everyone, its time for bed here.  If you want to follow along on my project ill be making the webpage for my progress @   brantar.com/rfid 2010-10-19 00:15 ill be sure to update with a few pictures/videos of how i made it and links to the stuff you need to make it yourself 2010-10-19 00:19 for how long a fully charged battery can make NN power on 2010-10-19 00:28 emeb|mac: you there? we have the schematics histories stuff up live and running :-) http://projects.qi-hardware.com/schhist 2010-10-19 00:35 hi xiangfu 2010-10-19 00:36 can you tell me that hwo long fully charged battery can sustain NN power on ? 2010-10-19 01:13 nitin_gupta: it depends on tasks Ben is doing, but i can say that it definitely can idle through the night 2010-10-19 01:16 i also remember it ran out of battery after around 2.5 hours of mplayer, with few idling breaks 2010-10-19 01:26 if Ben is runnig a simple C based application then what will be the duration 2010-10-19 01:33 [commit] Wolfgang Spraul: Starting cleanup, first remove plotted schematics. http://qi-hw.com/p/mmone-jtag-serial-cable/edb1b9e 2010-10-19 01:37 any file browser aplication is there on NN ? 2010-10-19 01:48 wolfspraul: yes, I'm here. Been following the schematic history developments - very nice! 2010-10-19 01:54 emeb|mac: cool 2010-10-19 01:55 another big thing I hope will develop over the next few months is boom, our bom to shopping list system :-) 2010-10-19 01:55 it's all a big construction site right now but I think it will become a very important piece of technology for us 2010-10-19 01:56 sourcing is a huge problem, very tedious, lots of pitfalls, and a smart system with good usage of online apis and databases can go wonders to go from a simple bom in KiCad to full shopping lists at multiple distributors/manufacturers 2010-10-19 01:57 wolfspraul: will it be open source? :) 2010-10-19 02:05 kyak: of course. the sources are all werner's he is normally using gpl v2 or v3? don't know. actually the eda-tools project doesn't have AUTHORS or COPYING yet, but it will... big construction site right now. so: gpl of course. 2010-10-19 02:23 wolfspraul: good, sound like a very useful project 2010-10-19 02:40 how do you think guys, maybe we should disable RNDIS by default (CONFIG_USB_ETH_RNDIS=n in target/linux/xburst/qi_lb60/config-2.6.32). Windows users won't be able to connect to Ben with RNDIS enabled. With CONFIG_USB_ETH_RNDIS=n they at least get chance to use proprietary CDC/ECM driver for Windows 2010-10-19 02:41 yes, RNDIS from 2.6.32 is not working with Windows RNDIS driver 2010-10-19 02:42 see more details here: http://www.nanohacks.org/groups/nanohackers/forum/topic/ben-nanonote-ethernet-over-usb-in-windows/ 2010-10-19 02:43 not that i've seen a lot of Windows users here.. but, proprietary CDC/ECM is better than nothing (i.e., RNDIS) 2010-10-19 02:44 what do you mean with proprietary driver? you mean on the Windows side? 2010-10-19 02:44 of course 2010-10-19 02:44 if RNDIS is broken in 2.6.32, at some point we'll definitely uptick the kernel 2010-10-19 02:44 but as a quick fix, sure why not. I have no problem with it. 2010-10-19 02:45 you see, the problem is that RNDIS might be fixed in some future kernel, but then it breaks again eventually 2010-10-19 02:45 i don't think someone is interested in fixing it 2010-10-19 02:46 so might be better to disable it now and for all? 2010-10-19 02:46 I have no objections, if nobody has just do it :-) 2010-10-19 02:47 ok, i remember discussing it with xiangfu, i think he also had no objections 2010-10-19 02:49 hm,.. i remember i have to git push to openwrt-xburst in a weird way... 2010-10-19 02:50 now to search some logs :) 2010-10-19 02:52 [commit] kyak: Disable RNDIS for now, it's broken (give Windows users a chance to use CDC/ECM http://qi-hw.com/p/openwrt-xburst/3683618 2010-10-19 02:59 kyak: cool. you just answered the question on how our branch should be named: 'master' :-) 2010-10-19 03:00 tracking_backfire should be just a tracking branch, while master should also include anything local to qi, that is not upstreamed yet 2010-10-19 03:03 the 2.6.34 kernel for Dingoo also had RNDIS problems 2010-10-19 03:03 I don't know about 2.6.35; we've also turned off RNDIS 2010-10-19 03:04 the problems have been present since at least 2.6.24.3, which was the first kernel used for the Dingoo 2010-10-19 03:06 wolfspraul: hm, ok. .how should i do now? "git push" doesn't work 2010-10-19 03:07 though i renamed local branch to tracking_backfire 2010-10-19 03:08 i think now i need to do "git push origin local_backfire:tracking_backfire" 2010-10-19 03:08 oh, renamed it to local_backfire 2010-10-19 03:08 should i rename it to tracking_backfire to be able to push easily? 2010-10-19 03:09 note that drivers/usb/gadget/rndis.c says "The driver for your USB chip needs to support ep0 OUT to work with RNDIS, plus all three CDC Ethernet endpoints (interrupt not optional)." 2010-10-19 03:10 does the USB device driver provide enough endpoints? 2010-10-19 03:11 kyak: [git] he I don't know. I don't want to mess it up more. Mirko Vogt had some good ideas for clarification. 2010-10-19 03:11 first step, we deleted tracking_trunk 2010-10-19 03:11 gone already 2010-10-19 03:11 second step, he said with a name 'tracking_backfire' that branch should do just that, there should never be a commit in that branch that is not in upstream 2010-10-19 03:12 that leaves one more name in need of creation, and it should be just ... master! I think... 2010-10-19 03:12 unless mirko or others have some good reasons why that is not a good idea again 2010-10-19 03:12 that's strange.. i think there are things in tracking_backfire that are not upstream 2010-10-19 03:12 kyak: I suggest let me talk to Mirko about it tomorrow then we clean this up more. 2010-10-19 03:12 like data/* 2010-10-19 03:12 kyak: yes, right now there are 2010-10-19 03:13 but that was mirko's point, which I think is a good point 2010-10-19 03:13 tracking_backfire should do just that 2010-10-19 03:13 tracking 2010-10-19 03:13 wolfspraul: ok, please clarify with him 2010-10-19 03:13 hwo to knwo that how much abttery is charged ? 2010-10-19 03:14 [commit] kyak: ubi-utils is replaced by mtd-utils http://qi-hw.com/p/openwrt-xburst/0e77c74 2010-10-19 03:20 do we have some file browser/explorer in NN 2010-10-19 03:21 nitin_gupta: cat /sys/class/power_supply/battery/capacity 2010-10-19 03:22 for file management, I think mc is available, but not sure 2010-10-19 03:23 there is also something built in to gmenu2x, but it probably doesn't work in the old version and might still not work in the newest version 2010-10-19 03:27 ya mc is there 2010-10-19 03:28 anyother explorer ? 2010-10-19 03:28 how to exit from mc ? 2010-10-19 03:36 wpwrak: when I open atusd.pro in kicad, and then click on the schematic, the entire schematic is displayed correctly. 2010-10-19 03:36 but when I run 'eeschema atusd.sch' directly, the component libraries are not setup and I get quite a few ?? parts 2010-10-19 03:36 I run 2010-03-14 but it's the same as on the server and the 'All Sheets' is still correct there, so I don't quite get it right now 2010-10-19 03:37 any idea why a direct call of eeschema atusd.sch will not pickup the correct libraries? 2010-10-19 03:38 kyak:the RNDIS work fine with Win 7, 2010-10-19 03:40 have anyone try RNDIS in Win 7. 2010-10-19 03:41 just ignore my message, sorry. I remember I have tried once. but now I am not sure if it works in win7 2010-10-19 03:47 xiangfu: doesn't work, i have tried 2010-10-19 03:50 kyak: ok. 2010-10-19 03:53 wpwrak: strange. when I launch eeschema first, without parameters, and then open atusd.sch, it's fine 2010-10-19 03:54 but when I run eeschema atusd.sch on the command line, the libraries are not opened correctly 2010-10-19 03:54 also, when I run eeschema --plot atusd.sch, the components are also missing even though what I believe the same kicad runs fine on the server 2010-10-19 03:54 I think I will uptick to bzr2448 first, or just ignore the problem for now 2010-10-19 07:07 wolfspraul: eeschema /absolute/path/to/schem/atusd.sch   perhaps ? (or "make sch" :) 2010-10-19 07:11 absolute path works, relative path doesn't work 2010-10-19 07:11 maybe the bug is already fixed, I will uptick to 2448 first, that's better anyway 2010-10-19 07:15 not sure if anything has been done about this lately. command-line use generally doesn't get much attention. 2010-10-19 07:15 i'm already happy for what little works today ;-) 2010-10-19 07:29 wpwrak: do you know where the kicad-doc and kicad-library from svn went to in launchpad/bzr ? 2010-10-19 07:29 I can't find it... 2010-10-19 07:33 hmm, don'thave them in my tree either. and no mention in my notes where to get them from. 2010-10-19 07:35 ah, this looks useful: http://www.mail-archive.com/kicad-users@yahoogroups.com/msg06927.html 2010-10-19 07:36 maybe we should just move away from the default libs anyway. there's relatively little in them that's useful. having our own libs in kicad-libs/ would eliminate environmental dependencies. 2010-10-19 07:36 (the infamous cache problems) 2010-10-19 07:40 hmm 2010-10-19 07:40 that sounds a bit radical 2010-10-19 07:40 wouldn't we want to contribute to better libs over time? 2010-10-19 07:45 the issue isn't so much lib quality but change control. also, there are really very few things you want from there. (R, C, INDUCTOR, maybe FILTER, switch, and such). you can probably replace them in a day. 2010-10-19 07:46 maybe logic gates. but they're getting kinda unpopular already. at least in the traditional 4-in-1 or 6-in-1 packages. 2010-10-19 07:50 already transistors tend to run into problems. i think lots of "serious" kicad users simply have their own libs. that's perhaps also why the "upstream" libs get so little attention. 2010-10-19 07:50 well you tell me 2010-10-19 07:50 I can easily remove this and say our 'base' KiCad has no libs 2010-10-19 07:51 but... :-) will the various schhist projects even still run through? 2010-10-19 07:51 (little attention) well, i haven't been following kicad-users for a long time, so maybe something revolutionary happened there since. but i always kept on reading about some grand central database schemes and then little else :) 2010-10-19 07:51 at the moment they wouldn't, because we kill their cache :) 2010-10-19 07:52 so we'd have to forcibly add the replacement lib in schhist (the mechanism is already there) 2010-10-19 07:54 argh. the entire mail-archive.com is blocked in China and my vpn is down. can you look into that mail for me and tell me the links :-) 2010-10-19 07:54 no technical person can work in China without a VPN 2010-10-19 07:54 totally impossible 2010-10-19 07:54 all high quality sources are blocked 2010-10-19 07:55 bzr branch lp:~kicad-lib-committers/kicad/library 2010-10-19 07:56 bzr branch lp:~kicad-developers/kicad/doc 2010-10-19 07:56 great! 2010-10-19 07:56 (haven't verified them) 2010-10-19 07:56 the revisions in those repos are probably not in sync with the main one 2010-10-19 07:56 so it's not 2448 2010-10-19 07:57 should I just take the latest one? maybe a bit risky with the libs if they introduce a new feature 2010-10-19 07:58 no idea :) you could compare dates if you want. 2010-10-19 07:59 but i'd also hope they're compatible. 2010-10-19 09:38 wpwrak: can you clarify AUTHORS and COPYING in http://projects.qi-hardware.com/p/eda-tools/source/tree/master ? 2010-10-19 09:39 I have a request from the German Linux Magazin and will send them the url, but want it to be properly annotated in terms of licensed 2010-10-19 09:39 will cc you on the mail 2010-10-19 09:49 hmm,  there could be several independent sub-projects under eda-tools. so each needs its own rules. 2010-10-19 10:22 Morning, wpwrak 2010-10-19 10:23 Hi, wolfspraul 2010-10-19 10:24 Hi everyone! 2010-10-19 10:26 hey 2010-10-19 10:26 :-) 2010-10-19 10:26 you seem happy, good! 2010-10-19 10:26 I am! I had ideas last night. 2010-10-19 10:27 Two things, primarily. Wanted to ask you about them. 2010-10-19 10:28 go ahead, although I may be offline very soon, it was a very long day here... 2010-10-19 10:28 First, I assume it would require a kernel patch, but do you think the BNN's serial connection could be use to accept keyboard input? 2010-10-19 10:28 qbject: (serial) it can, why not :) 2010-10-19 10:29 Heh heh. Thought so. 2010-10-19 10:29 Second, 2010-10-19 10:29 long story, the 'official' RXD is shared, but there are other TPs where you can make it happen 2010-10-19 10:29 yeah, was just saying kristianpaul was one of the pioneers there... 2010-10-19 10:29 Ahh. Slick. I'll bug him about it when I'm farther along, then. 2010-10-19 10:29 indeed (you need some extra wires) 2010-10-19 10:30 Second, there are some portable word processors that can be hooked up to usb and will pretend to be keyboards, so they can dump text into a text editor on pretty much any host machine. Any chance that the USB thingie on BNN can pull a similar act of disguse? 2010-10-19 10:31 s/disguse/disguise/d 2010-10-19 10:31 You need read in the Linux USB Gadget features for the last one 2010-10-19 10:32 kristianpaul: is that on the wiki? 2010-10-19 10:32 dont think so 2010-10-19 10:32 look http://www.linux-usb.org/gadget/ 2010-10-19 10:33 qbject: I'd say it's close, but I never heard any success report. 2010-10-19 10:33 another (similar) idea is USB sound card :-) 2010-10-19 10:34 even for USB storage I'm not sure anybody ever actually got this working 2010-10-19 10:34 i think fail 2010-10-19 10:34 is on the lists 2010-10-19 10:34 the best would be if you could just switch on the Ben, and ideally if the Ben could even simulate a hub and a whole bunch of devices after the hub :-) 2010-10-19 10:35 Agreed. 2010-10-19 10:35 :D 2010-10-19 10:35 something like this needs a really dedicated person to dig in, and then also to bring it out in clean patches, openwrt, etc. for everybody 2010-10-19 10:35 indeed :) 2010-10-19 10:36 given how spread thin we are already over the hundreds of things we take on, it's not very likely this will happen unless some new person steps up and just does it 2010-10-19 10:36 USB is not so hellish once you dominate it ;) 2010-10-19 10:36 Noted. Not positive I'm the man for the job, but I need it to work in order to reach my goals, so I'll give it a shot. 2010-10-19 10:37 you should try. since that most likely means you will be building kernels, you might also want to start with more recent kernels right away, maybe larsc can suggest the best starting point 2010-10-19 10:37 Especially since, if I can do it, I can probably do it sooner than I'll have a Ya to play with. ;-P 2010-10-19 10:37 not sure it's still 2.6.32, maybe for something like this it's better to start in .34 or higher 2010-10-19 10:37 go ahead recompile the kenrel and bug in the lists (i think somebody was trying same..) 2010-10-19 10:39 zear: are you aware of some experience in digux usign the USB client and Linux Gadget thing? 2010-10-19 10:39 kristianpaul, unfortunately, no. Maybe mth will know something. I know we use gadget for usb networking. But i don't know if we were even able to use other gadget modes 2010-10-19 10:41 same as Ben for now then.. 2010-10-19 10:41 mass storage device mode would be sweet 2010-10-19 10:42 yeah 2010-10-19 10:43 qbject: http://lists.en.qi-hardware.com/pipermail/discussion/2010-September/005482.html 2010-10-19 10:44 qbject: you can follow that thread and try test it again to see what happens 2010-10-19 10:44 Thanks, kristianpaul. Will do. 2010-10-19 10:45 wolfspraul: btw i asked carlos about SIE and he said ben firmware should be okay ;) 2010-10-19 10:45 and seems works so far :) 2010-10-19 10:45 i think juan64bits know more about the topic, isnt? 2010-10-19 10:46 (topic) SIE firmware particularities 2010-10-19 10:48 yes, the ben firmware is ok for SIE 2010-10-19 10:49 but the microsd don't work with ben firmware 2010-10-19 10:50 and the i2c doesn't work 2010-10-19 10:51 if you need this funtionalitis you must install the specific  kernel 2010-10-19 10:51 for SIE 2010-10-19 10:59 wolfspraul: thanks again. Rest well. 2010-10-19 11:17 qbject: there is the "HID Gadget" driver, which should allow making the NN into a USB input device for a PC 2010-10-19 11:17 I haven't tried it myself though 2010-10-19 11:19 mth: Ah hah. Sounds perfect. 2010-10-19 11:22 see Documentation/usb/gadget_hid.txt in the kernel source for more info 2010-10-19 11:27 mth: Good deal. Thanks. 2010-10-19 14:59 mth: (gadget) looks pretty complete :) 2010-10-19 15:06 complete? 2010-10-19 15:07 in terms of "every thing there to do something useful with it" 2010-10-19 15:08 mass storage device why not?, when still a problem to copy something easilly to the ben not usigns scp 2010-10-19 15:08 s/usigns/usign 2010-10-19 15:11 the problem with mass storage is that you'd have to have exclusive access to the ben's storage. and you need a suitable file system driver on the host. in the case of ubifs, i'm not even sure if you could carry all the nand properties through the protocol. 2010-10-19 15:12 hmm 2010-10-19 15:12 good point 2010-10-19 15:12 some chiness device i'm aware off uses just uSD-like in fat32 for that job 2010-10-19 15:12 alternatively, you could write somethign that reads a file system, presents it as, say, fat or ext2/3, and then translates changes back into the file system. but that's probably quite tricky :) 2010-10-19 15:13 web interface is an option 2010-10-19 15:13 maybe html5 already solved that.. 2010-10-19 15:13 if fat32 is your native file system on your nand, then this works. but fat32 isn't nice to have on "naked" nand. but maybe you can cook up something with the lower layer of the ubi stuff. 2010-10-19 15:13 (forgot the name) 2010-10-19 15:14 html5 ? that's more a job for nfs or samba 2010-10-19 15:19 wpwrak: dumb new guy question: when you fire up Gadget mode, the standard OS can remain active, right? It's not like booting a Ben in its native USB mode. 2010-10-19 15:20 I think the people behind the nanonote project may like this book (and ideas behind): "Program or be programmed". http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kgicuytCkoY 2010-10-19 15:20 qbject: the OS would still run, you just talk to a peripheral that then translates what you do to USB communication for the host. 2010-10-19 15:21 qbject: everything else you do remains the same. e.g., you could keep on playing Doom while pretending to be a USB disk :) 2010-10-19 15:28 wpwrak: That's what I thought. So, if we can have ubifs NAND, and ext2 or FAT32 microSD running on the same Ben, what stops us from (out of my depth now) creating a virtual FAT32 volume for Gadget to talk to which has access to the names files on the NAND? 2010-10-19 15:30 Well, maybe we wouldn't want to use FAT32, but ext2 2010-10-19 15:33 you mean present what you have in UBIFS as FAT32 ? 2010-10-19 15:34 or have a "container" file that's FTA32 inside and lives on UBIFS or such, but appears - unless you do something special - just as one big file ? 2010-10-19 15:35 (special) e.g., loopback mount or such 2010-10-19 15:37 samba dont look so bad.. 2010-10-19 15:37 or ftp =) 2010-10-19 15:39 kristianpaul: how about scp ? ;-) 2010-10-19 15:41 ok just we convince wolfgang about ship and usd card with every Ben and problem solved 2010-10-19 15:41 s/and/an 2010-10-19 15:42 wpwrak: Either. Whichever works best, though the 'container' file would, I suppose, have to be an image file equal in size to the ubifs volume we wanted to share. My point is that we already mount volumes, which abstracts the files from the filesystem. 2010-10-19 15:42 kristianpaul: partially solved - you still have the issue that only one entity (host or ben) can access the block device at the same time 2010-10-19 15:43 i also can upgrade it 2010-10-19 15:43 and if wikireader use that method, wel... why not 2010-10-19 15:43 we interrupt this broadcast to advertise jlime: We just ported Heroes of Might and Magic 2, works great :) 2010-10-19 15:43 qbject: translating UBIFS (or an arbitrary file system hierarchy) to FAT32 would be an interesting challenge. i don't know if anyone has taken it yet :-) 2010-10-19 15:44 zear: :D 2010-10-19 15:44 zear: where is it where is it!!!! 2010-10-19 15:44 hehe 2010-10-19 15:44 qbject: the container file approach would be easier. but it means of course that this isn't a "live" file system. 2010-10-19 15:44 opkg install ... 2010-10-19 15:44 isnt? 2010-10-19 15:45 wait joining jlime channel 2010-10-19 15:45 kristianpaul: wikireader probably becomes just a block device when connected ? 2010-10-19 15:45 What happens when one process attempts to access a file when another process is already in the middle of reading it? Does the kernel just make the second process wait it's turn? 2010-10-19 15:45 wpwrak: i mean usd for two things carry updates and save music, or whatever you want work on the Ben 2010-10-19 15:46 actually it like forgot it have internatl memory 2010-10-19 15:46 uSD is the way :) 2010-10-19 15:46 for intechanging data and updates 2010-10-19 15:46 tuxbrain, it's here: http://jlime.com/downloads/repository/extra-packages/nanonote/fheroes2_1.0+svn-1985-r0_mipsel.ipk 2010-10-19 15:46 you'll need the original HOMM2 datafiles 2010-10-19 15:47 and then you have to place the right files to: 2010-10-19 15:47 I have all the original series!! form 1 to V 2010-10-19 15:47 /usr/share/games/fheroes/data 2010-10-19 15:47 and 2010-10-19 15:47 /usr/share/games/fheroes/maps 2010-10-19 15:47 zear: vade retro satana 2010-10-19 15:48 wpwrak, ;D 2010-10-19 15:49 In other news: Commander Keen is next to port ;) 2010-10-19 15:50 I woul like to know how did you solve the mouse use on this game? 2010-10-19 15:51 tuxbrain, the game features a built-in mouse emulation 2010-10-19 15:51 it's only in 4 directions (so no vertical movement), but it's fine to navigate most of the screens 2010-10-19 15:52 yes I know we are all here for fredoom and such but damn it is HOMM, the game that has make an sleepless zombi since I was 15 2010-10-19 15:52 honestly i haven't been able to test it on my nanonote yet (old version of jlime, gives me black screen when i run it), but B_Lizzard says it works on his unit 2010-10-19 15:53 but i tested it on my dingoo, so a similar experience 2010-10-19 15:53 Zear: Keen 1-3 or 4-6? 2010-10-19 15:53 ok forgot the old chat and lets play :) 2010-10-19 15:54 qbject, 1-3 + experimental support of 4 (not playable yet) 2010-10-19 15:54 Ah. 2010-10-19 15:54 doesn't 4-6 emulate with dosbox? 2010-10-19 15:54 now port a working civilization and I can close whatever open project , divorce, live as a homeless meanwhile I can have access to a plug time to time. 2010-10-19 15:55 tuxbrain, that won't work, freeciv requires at least 50MB of free memory 2010-10-19 15:55 zear: Haven't tried it. Monuments of Mars runs great in dosbox, albeit without sound. 2010-10-19 15:55 tuxbrain: so you still have to stay around to lobby 64 MB into the ya 2010-10-19 15:56 damn it 2010-10-19 15:56 wpwrak, well, tried to port freeciv to gp2x which has 64M, but despite running though the first few screens, once it gets to in-game, after the first move it crashes 2010-10-19 15:56 freeciv is simply too huge for handheld devices 2010-10-19 15:56 maybe pandora will be able to run it 2010-10-19 15:57 well I have said a working civilization , doesn't mind if had to be rebuilded from scratch or port the original civilization I or II 2010-10-19 15:57 zear: did you add swap ? 2010-10-19 15:58 wpwrak, no swap for gp2x 2010-10-19 15:58 it has no usb gadget, so no way to really get into it to debug it, create swap, etc 2010-10-19 15:59 plus it's 2.4 with some really ancient libs 2010-10-19 15:59 zear: maybe it would help. depends a bit on the working set size. 2010-10-19 15:59 eek 2010-10-19 15:59 it's a 2005 device 2010-10-19 15:59 tuxbrain, original Civilization is too slow on dosbox in nanonote 2010-10-19 16:00 i have tried it already 2010-10-19 16:00 i love civilization 2010-10-19 16:00 damn it (again) 2010-10-19 16:00 but HOMM needs dosbox to run? or is a native port? 2010-10-19 16:01 could civ not improve if is ported? 2010-10-19 16:01 zear: is there a newer dosbox port than slaanesh's port from April? 2010-10-19 16:02 qbject, no, because slaanesh didn't release his sources 2010-10-19 16:02 and he used a mips dynrec 2010-10-19 16:02 so there's no better version than his 2010-10-19 16:03 even if someone ported a vanilla dosbox, it would be many times slower due to the lacking mips dynrec 2010-10-19 16:03 drag. dynarecs are why nobody ever ports KeGS. :( 2010-10-19 16:05 :P 2010-10-19 16:06 Or was that SheepShaver? 2010-10-19 16:06 Oh! It was Basilisk. 2010-10-19 17:28 BTW, viric, I got a lot out of Rushkoff's previous book "Life, Inc." Looking forward to his new one. 2010-10-19 19:38 hi 2010-10-19 19:38 i just bought one nanonote, and i'm looking for a microsdio wlan card for it 2010-10-19 19:38 would you recommend any? 2010-10-19 19:39 it's very difficult to find the Spectec SDW-823 microSD (SDIO) Wi-Fi card 2010-10-19 20:05 not sure if there's much else. maybe check your local shops first, then see if there's any information about using whatever you find with linux. 2010-10-19 20:15 i found a solution: will use a SD card from spetec 2010-10-19 20:15 and then a sd to micro sd adaptor i found at dealextreme 2010-10-19 20:15 it's probably the cheapest solution: 35$ for the sd card and 5$ for the adaptor 2010-10-19 20:20 how is it mechanically ? 2010-10-19 20:20 not much fun if all the combined weight plus lever breaks something 2010-10-19 20:34 hmm, is the artwork of HoMM2 also freely distributable (or at least legally freely downloadable) ? 2010-10-19 20:35 it's a flexible adaptor 2010-10-19 20:35 i will document it when i got it up and running 2010-10-19 20:36 qwebirc30164: (flex) oh, great. (document) you're da man ! :) 2010-10-19 20:36 :-P 2010-10-19 22:04 I have a dell XPS motherboard and read on dells web page that it takes 667 MHz SDRAM, Is it possible that it could take a faster speed ram? It is a foxcon LS-36 Motherboard. 2010-10-19 22:08 I have also read the it may be possible to put in a qx6800 vs the x6800? 2010-10-19 22:14 [commit] Xiangfu Liu: some improvements to imgv http://qi-hw.com/p/imgv/16ccc7f 2010-10-19 22:17 [commit] Xiangfu Liu: [imgv] update to 0.3.0 http://qi-hw.com/p/openwrt-packages/37c649f 2010-10-19 22:51 okay i'll stick on this openwrt branch and last commit d2f389bd2b56e0a8b4cee566560c97a01f0f3f83 2010-10-19 22:51 as rafa_ did with oe ;) 2010-10-19 22:52 now i winder why this init.d/start script dint worked after copied (i forgot ln -s before make..) 2010-10-19 22:52 http://paste.debian.net/97300/
