2010-12-18 00:02 for the --order parameter in schhist, are those file names or KiCad strings for the schematic pages? 2010-12-18 00:02 hmm, good question ... 2010-12-18 00:03 no problem I check it 2010-12-18 00:03 for the order of pages, I propose to start with the overview page xue-rnc 2010-12-18 00:03 after that the 2 fpga pages, port0/2, then 1/3 2010-12-18 00:03 I wouldn't want to rip those 2 fpga pages apart 2010-12-18 00:04 file names without extension (i think :) 2010-12-18 00:04 yup, start with overview is good 2010-12-18 00:04 then ddr, then 'non volatile memories' 2010-12-18 00:05 or maybe the psu first right after the fpga, or even before the fpga? 2010-12-18 00:05 before everything sounds nice, considering how often it is accessed 2010-12-18 00:05 I think fpga first (both pages), then ddr, then nvram, then psu, then usb/ethernet/expansion, finally sensor and sensor_psu 2010-12-18 00:06 ok, psu first then 2010-12-18 00:06 then we do this: 2010-12-18 00:06 overview, psu, fpga1, fpga2, nvram, ddr, ethernet, usb, expansion, sensor_psu, sensor 2010-12-18 00:07 I will insert this strange dbg_prg after the psu for now, it will probably be deleted later anyway 2010-12-18 00:09 yeah :) 2010-12-18 00:19 [commit] Wolfgang Spraul: testing schhist heuristics p1: expantion.sch renamed to epansion.sch http://qi-hw.com/p/xue/38a326e 2010-12-18 00:19 I'll do this slowly, and see how schhist reacts (I started a clean run, so need to wait a little) 2010-12-18 00:26 wpwrak: should we name the ddr page ddr or sdram? or ddr-sdram? 2010-12-18 00:26 I'm leaning towards sdram, but maybe 'ddr' is more eye-popping. 2010-12-18 00:26 ram ? ;-) 2010-12-18 00:26 well we have nvram already 2010-12-18 00:26 non volatile 2010-12-18 00:26 dunno 2010-12-18 00:26 so another one 'sdram' (synchronous) seems ok 2010-12-18 00:26 but there's no nvRAM :) 2010-12-18 00:26 ddr is still sdram 2010-12-18 00:27 there's a lot of flash, though :) 2010-12-18 00:27 no objections against sdram? 2010-12-18 00:27 sure, no problem 2010-12-18 00:27 fine I'll name that one flash then 2010-12-18 00:27 you are right that non volatile random access memory is wrong in the first place 2010-12-18 00:28 so flash, sdram 2010-12-18 00:28 right now it's called 'non volatile memories', I introduced the 'ra' inaccuracy 2010-12-18 00:29 tsk tsk :) 2010-12-18 00:30 should I shorten ethernet to just eth? 2010-12-18 00:31 yeah unless there are complaints I'll do that... 2010-12-18 00:38 i like short names :) ether also works 2010-12-18 00:39 afk for a bit - dinner 2010-12-18 00:44 [commit] Wolfgang Spraul: USB.sch -> usb.sch http://qi-hw.com/p/xue/e819459 2010-12-18 00:44 [commit] Wolfgang Spraul: NV_MEMORIES.sch -> flash.sch http://qi-hw.com/p/xue/ccaece9 2010-12-18 00:44 [commit] Wolfgang Spraul: PSU.sch -> psu.sch http://qi-hw.com/p/xue/68f0425 2010-12-18 00:44 [commit] Wolfgang Spraul: DRAM.sch -> sdram.sch http://qi-hw.com/p/xue/eb9b37b 2010-12-18 00:44 ether is good, thx 2010-12-18 00:44 but I will change sensor to cmos_image_sensor, it's better than cis because cis is not widely known 2010-12-18 00:45 enjoy dinner 2010-12-18 00:45 camera ?

since it follows .sch file renames, that should be enough, no? 2010-12-18 01:30 there's a -f switch to do just that :-) 2010-12-18 01:30 if i recall right, xue had some file renaming in the past, that's why the heuristics are like they are 2010-12-18 01:31 let's see what happens with -f :) if my memory is correct, some other problem should then pop up :) 2010-12-18 01:31 I think the -f documentation is wrong, it says 'identify sheets by their file name, not the sheet name' 2010-12-18 01:31 but reading the sources I think it's the other way round 2010-12-18 01:32 ah wait, no, I'm confused 2010-12-18 01:33 ah yes. it's what goes into the title 2010-12-18 01:33 i added it for one of the student projects, which had some ugly semi-binary stuff in the name 2010-12-18 01:33 (some temporary name kicad assigns by default, i guess) 2010-12-18 01:35 hmm 2010-12-18 01:35 I added -f but I suspect we now get some other breakage 2010-12-18 01:35 because when the project was still called CHIE they probably did not use proper git mv to rename the files 2010-12-18 01:35 but instead they deleted and readded them under new names. 2010-12-18 01:36 i think this is the same for git 2010-12-18 01:36 its rename detection is based on looking for new files that are similar to deleted files :) 2010-12-18 01:36 git will record a rename/move 2010-12-18 01:36 maybe it has that in addition somewhere, but I'm pretty sure it has genuine support for move/rename 2010-12-18 01:37 i think it doesn't record it but tries hard to report a delete/add pair as a rename :) 2010-12-18 01:41 strange, I am still confused in schhist2web 2010-12-18 01:41 -f says "identify sheets by their file name" 2010-12-18 01:41 default is false 2010-12-18 01:41 when -f is set it becomes true 2010-12-18 01:42 did you run with -f ? 2010-12-18 01:42 in line 265, it says elif $use_sch_name && ... subschname2file ... 2010-12-18 01:42 so if use_sch_name is true, it calls subschname2file 2010-12-18 01:43 subschname2file will look for F0 (the name string), so it's the one that goes from a string name to a file name 2010-12-18 01:43 I'm misreading something somewhere 2010-12-18 01:44 before I ran without -f. -f was only used for SIE_CEIMTUN 2010-12-18 01:44 now I'm rerunning with -f just to see how it looks 2010-12-18 01:45 meanwhile I'm reading the script trying to understand what it is doing 2010-12-18 01:46 maybe we only need to introduce an else case in 276 2010-12-18 01:46 line 276 2010-12-18 01:48 hmm .. lemme think ... 2010-12-18 01:51 let's see what -f yields. i'm not entirely sure anymore about what failure mode to expect 2010-12-18 01:52 it may pass, but use "ugly" names 2010-12-18 01:52 but maybe there's something else i'm not thinking of at the moment 2010-12-18 01:52 am I misunderstanding -f ? 2010-12-18 01:53 the documentation and what I read in the script do not match 2010-12-18 01:53 maybe I misunderstand the syntax somewhere? 2010-12-18 01:53 && continues when the left side is true 2010-12-18 01:53 if it is false, it aborts. right? 2010-12-18 01:54 so if -f is set, it will go to the subsch2name script, which uses the string name to lookup the file name 2010-12-18 01:54 but the -f docu says 'identifies by their file name'? 2010-12-18 01:55 introducing an else case in 276 is probably a good idea, no reason to give up there 2010-12-18 01:55 but let's see... 2010-12-18 01:57 it takes the "string name" to get the file name. then it continues working with the file name 2010-12-18 01:57 before it used the "string name" to identify the sheet 2010-12-18 01:58 yes 2010-12-18 01:58 but the -f documentation says the opposite 2010-12-18 01:58 "identify sheets by their file name, not the sheet name" 2010-12-18 01:58 don't you think it's "identify sheets by their sheet name, not the file name"? 2010-12-18 01:58 actually it looks like "identify sheets by their sheet name, if file name not found" 2010-12-18 01:59 because this only kicks in when the file name is not found, if I see correctly 2010-12-18 02:00 if this is true, there should be no reason to not make -f the default 2010-12-18 02:00 the first check is for the root sheet 2010-12-18 02:01 the root sheet is special 2010-12-18 02:01 for the others, we come from the .ps files. kicad uses the "string name" for the .ps files, not the .sch file's name 2010-12-18 02:02 (not my idea ;-) 2010-12-18 02:02 ah 2010-12-18 02:02 I will make the two the same, once we can avoid schhist breaking down... 2010-12-18 02:02 so the file name is the sheet name, at this place 2010-12-18 02:04 sheet name = foo.sch or the thingy inside foo.sch ? 2010-12-18 02:05 let's say we have foo.sch which calls itself (inside) "bar" 2010-12-18 02:05 how we get some project-bar.ps ("project" is the basename of the top-level sheet, project.sch) 2010-12-18 02:06 then we check if foo.sch happens to be project.sch 2010-12-18 02:06 err, sorry 2010-12-18 02:06 we check if "bar" happens to be "project" 2010-12-18 02:07 if it is, then we're looking at the top-level sheet. we track top-level sheets elsewhere, so we already know we're good (else we wouldn't have made it this far) 2010-12-18 02:07 now, if -f isn't set, we just use "bar" 2010-12-18 02:08 otherwise, we dig a little deeper - and try to obtain the real file name, in this case foo.sch 2010-12-18 02:09 now, through all this, we're at some point in the project's history 2010-12-18 02:10 with the name foo.sch, we have something git can relate to. so we ask it for the latest name of this file, considering all the renames that may have happened since. this is what gitwhoareyounow does. 2010-12-18 02:11 finally, we use "foo" or any "foo-today" git may have found as our name of the sheet 2010-12-18 02:13 phew 2010-12-18 02:13 good thing this is logged for eternity 2010-12-18 02:14 if I need to go back in there I will paste it as comments, still waiting for -f results 2010-12-18 02:27 wpwrak: wow nice! 2010-12-18 02:27 congratulations! 2010-12-18 02:27 -f is magic :-) 2010-12-18 02:27 whee ! :) 2010-12-18 02:28 now that the names are "nice", it looks quite decent 2010-12-18 02:29 ok I will continue to fix the strings, hopefully that won't break schhist again 2010-12-18 02:29 maybe -f should be the default? well, for now we are good... 2010-12-18 02:29 maybe do it all in one commit, to avoid this long string of changes in the history 2010-12-18 02:30 if the file names are useful (which they are now), -f is good 2010-12-18 02:35 [commit] Wolfgang Spraul: fixed FPGA GIOS -> expansion string http://qi-hw.com/p/xue/a1bc1f4 2010-12-18 02:35 [commit] Wolfgang Spraul: fixed Image Sensor -> camera string http://qi-hw.com/p/xue/431332d 2010-12-18 02:35 [commit] Wolfgang Spraul: fixed Snesor PSU -> camera_psu string http://qi-hw.com/p/xue/cc12688 2010-12-18 02:35 [commit] Wolfgang Spraul: fixed fpga1 string http://qi-hw.com/p/xue/26d165e 2010-12-18 02:35 [commit] Wolfgang Spraul: fixed fpga2 string http://qi-hw.com/p/xue/cfa9305 2010-12-18 02:35 [commit] Wolfgang Spraul: fixed dbg_prg string http://qi-hw.com/p/xue/c6dbc8e 2010-12-18 02:35 [commit] Wolfgang Spraul: fixed psu string http://qi-hw.com/p/xue/965f69e 2010-12-18 02:35 [commit] Wolfgang Spraul: fixed flash string http://qi-hw.com/p/xue/077c29d 2010-12-18 02:35 sorry read your '1 commit' thing too late 2010-12-18 02:35 who knows, separate commits can be helpful one day 2010-12-18 02:36 I am thinking about renaming xue-rnc to 'overview' but still hesitating a bit :-) 2010-12-18 02:36 xue.sch ? :) 2010-12-18 02:37 (separate commits) each will generate a line in the graphical history. so now you have to page down a looong way :) 2010-12-18 02:39 even those? 2010-12-18 02:39 the ones before did, not sure about those 2010-12-18 02:39 ah yes, you are right 2010-12-18 02:39 oh well 2010-12-18 02:39 both names appear in the top-level sheet, so each triggers a diff line 2010-12-18 02:41 I can go in, delete the history, and redo it all in 1 commit 2010-12-18 02:41 it seems schhist should be able to handle that, so maybe I try... 2010-12-18 02:42 ;-)) 2010-12-18 02:42 yes, rewriting history would compact them 2010-12-18 02:56 I did a git rebase and squashed it all into 1 commit locally. can I just git push this now? 2010-12-18 03:00 i think git will auto-create a merge commit between the current history and your rebase 2010-12-18 03:01 not sure which path schhist will travel 2010-12-18 03:02 there must be a wait to push a rebase without the merge commit (after all, that's what andy did at openmoko), but i don't know how. 2010-12-18 03:03 of course, rebases in published history are considered anti-social anyway ;-) 2010-12-18 03:04 ah, now the whole gang shows up :) 2010-12-18 03:07 [commit] Wolfgang Spraul: renaming schematics pages http://qi-hw.com/p/xue/5dd9abe 2010-12-18 03:10 yes but I don't think anybody but you had any of those commits pulled, so let's see 2010-12-18 03:10 i'm rerunning schhist again now 2010-12-18 03:12 this is a pretty hardcore commit now though, I hope we haven't made things worse 2010-12-18 03:12 it looked good before except for the 2 pages at the top 2010-12-18 03:14 i didn't pull them either :) 2010-12-18 03:15 let's see what the history looks like now .. 2010-12-18 03:15 ah yes, single commit. nice. 2010-12-18 03:26 wpwrak: you mentioned Makefiles the other day (in the Xue tree) 2010-12-18 03:26 which ones did you have in mind?

2010-12-18 03:30 .net can go 2010-12-18 03:30 .cmp may or may not be redundant. but in any case, if it's not there, something (pcbnew, i think) will complain all the time 2010-12-18 03:30 and the 4 cache files too, unless they accidentally moved original data in there (which I saw before, hope it's not the case here) 2010-12-18 03:31 sure we can cleanup slowly 2010-12-18 03:32 hmm 2010-12-18 03:33 (".cmp may or may not") what i mean is that it can be 100% redundant (if you set all the footprints in the schematics), but it can also contain original date (if the schematics don't have all the details or if you manually override them). so it's not generally safe to delete .cmp files. 2010-12-18 03:33 the .sch files all list LIBS:xue-rnc-cache 2010-12-18 03:33 should I remove that line from the .sch files?

You will need to build a new repository completely. But I think that a sane and good repositoy like jlime has would be useful for a couple of years.. ANd 2- 2010-12-18 17:58 kristianpaul: 2- This jlime version for qi also brings a bootstrap version, 2010-12-18 17:58 which, 2010-12-18 17:59 oh bootstrap sounds good 2010-12-18 17:59 you can use for building your own version from scratch (if you mean about old like you would like to see another GUI or way) 2010-12-18 17:59 you just take bootstrap and install on that the packages you want to have the GUI you want, etc 2010-12-18 17:59 zrafa: (couple of years) hmm, probably not. we have to make sure things are easy to keep up to date. basically automate what you did manually. qpkg tries to go in that direction - i just have to finish it ;-) 2010-12-18 18:00 wpwrak: (qpkg) great ! 2010-12-18 18:00 i really want to move OE based free of patent distro fr my nanonote, but i'm afraid automate building for long term 2010-12-18 18:01 wpwrak: I think that we are talking about many things.. What is exactly "getting old"?.. all gets old.. 2010-12-18 18:02 zrafa: okay lets replace get old to follow upstream :) 2010-12-18 18:02 s/to/with 2010-12-18 18:03 kristianpaul: well, I am not going to work with OE and free of patents stuff.. no time for that. In fact, I already said that I am not the best fan of OE.. so if I do something.. I will try to have a repository of packages.. just that. I will not use OE to build rootfs, or similar kind of weird things. I like OE for the repo it builds 2010-12-18 18:04 zrafa: (best fan of OE) ohh wow i you're, i missed that backlog :) 2010-12-18 18:04 kristianpaul: follow upstream is really hard. Jlime is not working with "free of patents" versions 2010-12-18 18:04 s/i/i tought* 2010-12-18 18:05 kristianpaul: nah.. I worked with OE because I like how easy you can build a nice repository for embedded devices. No more 2010-12-18 18:05 kristianpaul: and I used it because JLime uses it.. if jlime devs likes Conectiva Linux I will use (still if it is dead) :D 2010-12-18 18:08 wpwrak: I would like to have the few tools around jlime really useful for all (like qpkg, or the theora player, or the wikireader, etc).. But that is different with maintain documentation for development/OE built repositories/rootfs OE building documentation up to date 2010-12-18 18:08 zrafa: (get old) i mean that things need updating from time to time. so it's best to have a process that makes this painless. 2010-12-18 18:09 zrafa: wikireader :) sure go ahead ! 2010-12-18 18:10 zrafa: my idea is that you could just flag problem packages as undesirable and then qpkg could tell you which packages can no longer be installed. or it could generate a list of packages that can, depending on what you're after. 2010-12-18 18:11 wpwrak: yes, you are right.. BUt we need to convice more people to help :).. Currently JLime has around 7, 8 devs.. for 4 or 5 platforms/devices.. Just me was trying to have something to use on qi/resellers.. SO when I work on that, jlime lose onde dev, because other devs are not trying to work with this kind of stuff 2010-12-18 18:11 zrafa: or maybe add some dependencies into upstream (OE or "full jlime", whichever works best) and tell qpkg to knock out some dependency and generate the resulting list of available packages. 2010-12-18 18:12 wpwrak: wait... 2010-12-18 18:12 zrafa: you need to do a bit more propaganda :-) the problem is not unique to qi-hw. 2010-12-18 18:13 wpwrak: how would qpkg relate with OE full jlime?.. It was clear that versions for qi/resellers should not include links to complete repositories, still if tha package manager will not install problematic packages. 2010-12-18 18:13 tha=the 2010-12-18 18:14 zrafa: my idea is that you basically take some upstream package set, add your extra wishes, and let qpkg produce a subset of the upstream 2010-12-18 18:15 ah.. nice.. I see now 2010-12-18 18:15 zrafa: the subset would be self-contained, like the one you've produced manually so far 2010-12-18 18:16 zrafa: the form in which those extra wishes would appear is open to debate. once the infrastructure for resolving dependencies is there, it's relatively easy to do other things with it. 2010-12-18 18:17 zrafa: qpkg can already solve many installation dependencies. what it doesn't do yet is handle cases where you need some complicated backtracking and it doesn't sort its output by dependency 2010-12-18 18:18 (both need the same underlying algorithm - alas not an easy one. will take me a few days to figure out) 2010-12-18 18:21 zrafa: this regression test illustrates the problem qpkg can't handle yet: http://projects.qi-hardware.com/index.php/p/wernermisc/source/tree/master/qpkg/test/bug-adding 2010-12-18 18:22 zrafa: it basically marks packages a being about to be installed, but then finds out that it can't do this, and when trying some alternative, it doesn't take into account that the packages it considered for installation weren't 2010-12-18 18:23 zrafa: not sure if this is constellation is very likely in real life, but it's something that can be expressed, so i better handle it 2010-12-18 18:24 wpwrak: I need a while to understann all you wrote :) 2010-12-18 18:28 it's a little bit complicated :) 2010-12-18 18:58 lunch time :) 2010-12-18 18:58 haha :D 2010-12-18 19:19 zrafa: what do you use your nanonote for? 2010-12-18 19:19 Btw i wonder if decemenber in argentina is as noissy as in here :S 2010-12-18 19:24 kristianpaul: no much use these days.. I like it to play music files, wikireader when traveling.. and games 2010-12-18 19:25 kristianpaul: you mean december in general ? :) 2010-12-18 19:27 wpwrak: yes 2010-12-18 19:28 naw, pretty normal. except for the 24th and a few small test runs before and after 2010-12-18 19:28 damn my neighboors noise is goint to kill me 2010-12-18 19:28 he "small test runs" 2010-12-18 19:29 kristianpaul: your neighboors do many parites? 2010-12-18 19:29 parties 2010-12-18 19:30 (we have fireworks on the 24th. military grade :) 2010-12-18 19:30 noise 2010-12-18 19:30 parties are 24 and 31 i guess 2010-12-18 19:30 kristianpaul: which kind of noise? 2010-12-18 19:30 in fact, i'll get some armament tomorrow :) 2010-12-18 19:30 hihg volume music (bad electronic, and musica de cantina, repetida ;)) 2010-12-18 19:31 reggueton :S also 2010-12-18 19:31 argg 2010-12-18 19:32 so strike back. which movie was that .. apocalypse now ? where they played wagner from the helicopters 2010-12-18 19:32 no idea, i'm not good with holliwood-like movies :-) 2010-12-18 19:33 kristianpaul: wpwrak : when I was working few days in Caracas.. my company rented an apartment.. well all the nights the neighbors houses were doing parties listening reggeton music and laugh all the time the whole night 2010-12-18 19:33 well all=well, all 2010-12-18 19:34 kristianpaul: so that sounds similar like you are suffering there :) 2010-12-18 19:34 caracas .ve ? 2010-12-18 19:34 yes 2010-12-18 19:35 oh yes they are party makers before born :) 2010-12-18 19:36 wpwrak: do you remember how we installed toolchain and set the proper links for reporitories? :) .. I need the doc of that for the last link here : http://en.qi-hardware.com/wiki/Jlime 2010-12-18 19:36 "Jlime Toolchain Documentation" 2010-12-18 19:36 i really ought to visit .ve some day ;-) 2010-12-18 19:38 ah travel is so relaxing :) 2010-12-18 19:39 brb i'll try Fedora and milkymist devel env on it 2010-12-18 19:39 zrafa: (repo link) hmm, i think you had some file for me to download 2010-12-18 19:39 zrafa: i think my notes are on the dead disk. but the discussion ought to be in the irc log 2010-12-18 19:40 http://en.qi-hardware.com/irclogs/index.html 2010-12-18 19:40 (*somewhere* in there :) 2010-12-18 19:43 wpwrak: we can put that link at "Jlime Toolchain Documentation" wiki page ;-))) 2010-12-18 19:43 something like "all is explained at http://en.qi-hardware.com/irclogs/index.html" 2010-12-18 19:44 :D 2010-12-18 19:44 ;-))) 2010-12-18 20:04 andres-calderon: hi good morning! 2010-12-18 20:15 I started to cleanup the xue file a little, here's my rough plan now... 2010-12-18 20:16 see what werner thinks about renaming kicad/library to kicad/components 2010-12-18 20:16 we are using 'components' in other kicad projects, maybe that's a good name to standardize on, and the rename should be safe 2010-12-18 20:17 then, create a new directory kicad/camera, and move the camera and camera_psu sheets there, removing them from kicad/xue-rnc 2010-12-18 20:17 automate the creation of the module files from fped files in kicad/modules 2010-12-18 20:17 wolfspraul: Hi 2010-12-18 20:18 hi, good to see you! 2010-12-18 20:18 I'm starting a little cleanup, lots more to come. please give me feedback if something is wrong. 2010-12-18 20:19 wolfspraul, the standardization is good. 2010-12-18 20:19 http://projects.qi-hardware.com/schhist/xue/ 2010-12-18 20:19 andres-calderon: are you OK with those things I am listing? 2010-12-18 20:19 also create new kicad/camera directory, move camera there (daughterboard), etc. 2010-12-18 20:19 nice 2010-12-18 20:19 well we have tons more. if you can join please do so. 2010-12-18 20:20 I will favor speed over accuracy now. 2010-12-18 20:20 so I may introduce new bugs 2010-12-18 20:20 but if we don't speed up, the project will never be manufactured 2010-12-18 20:20 andres-calderon: also I noticed there where little scripts 'clean' committed. 2010-12-18 20:21 I will delete them, and add proper .gitignore files. 2010-12-18 20:21 there is a file docs/xue-bom.ods (I renamed it from a much longer name) 2010-12-18 20:21 I think I want to delete it, it only has a few URLs for memory chips, and even those are just web pages not pdfs 2010-12-18 20:22 when I'm done with all these things, I will probably start looking into the schematics ERC errors 2010-12-18 20:22 I'm  selecting  the BOM of the Xué's PSU (again..),  This time based on DigiKey availability 2010-12-18 20:22 ah, before that I will remove the AVR, FAN and ft2232 2010-12-18 20:22 andres-calderon: is it ok that I delete docs/xue-bom.ods ? 2010-12-18 20:23 then I will slowly start with boomification, first with an empty bom/ directory and a little Makefile structure, filling in more later 2010-12-18 20:24 in sim/verilog/micron, we have 2 .zip files committed 2010-12-18 20:24 maybe as a first step I will unpack them and commit what's inside instead 2010-12-18 20:24 Tomorrow I will fix the ERC errors and warnings. 2010-12-18 20:24 yes ! 2nd try works much better :) 2010-12-18 20:25 andres-calderon: do you see anything wrong with what I've posted? 2010-12-18 20:25 wpwrak: I will be more conservative. 2010-12-18 20:25 I am currently working in a mode of "when I don't hear anything, that means silent approval" 2010-12-18 20:25 wolfspraul: not yet. 2010-12-18 20:26 wolfspraul: (library -> components) it would be consistent with my use, but i don't have a strong opinion on it. kicad terminology may change a little anyway, as these things get rearranged. 2010-12-18 20:26 yes I know, but let's go for consistency at least right now 2010-12-18 20:26 (good action on KiCad btw, nice to see the progress there...) 2010-12-18 20:27 http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~kicad-testing-committers/kicad/testing/changes 2010-12-18 20:27 wolfspraul: From now I am full time in the Xué project. 2010-12-18 20:27 (distributed library management system...) 2010-12-18 20:27 great! 2010-12-18 20:27 andres-calderon: what about those 2 zip files? 2010-12-18 20:27 I will first unpack them, peel the onion as werner says 2010-12-18 20:28 andres-calderon: (2nd try) ah, that was about my little ben-wpan board ;-) yesterday, i had a very frustrating day with a board that doesn't work for some obscure reason. today i made a new one and it seems to work. 2010-12-18 20:28 andres-calderon: also, in the root xue/ directory there is now a Makefile that will make some things easier 2010-12-18 20:28 you can do 'make sch' or 'make brd' 2010-12-18 20:28 I will add more 2010-12-18 20:30 Are micron files (IBIS files), used in to automatic kicad component generation 2010-12-18 20:34 IBIS files can be read by the  ibis2kc.py script (http://projects.qi-hardware.com/index.php/p/xue/source/tree/master/emqbit-utilities/kicad/ibis2kc.py) 2010-12-18 20:34 andres-calderon: my removal of avr, fan, 2232, camera, camera_psu may well create more bugs/ERC errors in the schematics 2010-12-18 20:34 but I will first remove and move things, then look at the details. 2010-12-18 20:35 just explaining my approach. before you do anything, don't forget 'git pull' :-) 2010-12-18 20:36 wpwrak: for directory name, once we commit dxf files for mechanical/case work, what would you call the subfolder? 2010-12-18 20:36 case? mechanical? both not very good 2010-12-18 20:36 mech? 2010-12-18 20:38 i call them "cam", but this may be a bit confusing in this context :) 2010-12-18 20:39 may be "case" directory  into  a "mechanical" directory 2010-12-18 20:39 [commit] Wolfgang Spraul: unzipped 2 files http://qi-hw.com/p/xue/29e7ced 2010-12-18 20:39 and what does 'cam' stand for? I'm not sure I like it even outside of xue... 2010-12-18 20:39 wolfspraul: andres mentioned that he wanted the FANxxx for optimizing the fpga's (usually very high) power consumption 2010-12-18 20:40 Computer Aided Manufacturing. basically CNC and stuff. 2010-12-18 20:42 andres-calderon: let's make xue as simple as possible. have you used FANxxx before for this purpose? 2010-12-18 20:42 for example, see http://projects.qi-hardware.com/index.php/p/ben-wpan/source/tree/master/atusb/cam2/mkmk 2010-12-18 20:43 I would strongly argue for removing them, not on technical facts but looking at our manpower, risk that it won't work or backfire, manufacturing complexity, etc. 2010-12-18 20:43 (this uses the tools i developed in the last days, to let me automate more of the pcb making) 2010-12-18 20:43 wpwrak, wolfspraul:  I've been converted. I think that simplicity is the name of the game. 2010-12-18 20:43 hehe ;-) 2010-12-18 20:44 good 2010-12-18 20:44 andres-calderon: maybe keep the series/sense resistor but make them 0R. that way, you can remove them and insert a current meter/probe in the lab. 2010-12-18 20:45 [commit] Wolfgang Spraul: removed xue-bom.ods which only had a few web links for memory chips http://qi-hw.com/p/xue/c0089b7 2010-12-18 20:46 I will discard the  onboard measurement of energy. Maybe add  a set of test points (plus 0 ohms resistors) 2010-12-18 20:47 [commit] Wolfgang Spraul: renamed kicad/library to kicad/components for consistency http://qi-hw.com/p/xue/99067ec 2010-12-18 20:47 let's see whether schhist survives that 2010-12-18 20:48 we have a few empty .dcm files in kicad/components, unless there is a reason against it I would propose to delete them 2010-12-18 20:50 andres-calderon: from 12 .fpd files in kicad/modules, 11 are machine generated 2010-12-18 20:50 what is the plan with that now? where will future edits be made? 2010-12-18 20:51 wolfspraul: I'll make a makefile 2010-12-18 20:51 to create the .fpd ? 2010-12-18 20:51 or to go from .fpd to .mod? 2010-12-18 20:52 we have 22 empty .mdc in kicad/modules, if it's safe to delete them I will probably delete them 2010-12-18 20:52 (I'll wait until Werner is back he knows KiCad best...) 2010-12-18 20:55 I will review the makefiles of the GTA02 core project 2010-12-18 20:55 that's quite old by now, I suggest ben-wpan 2010-12-18 20:55 wolfspraul, ok 2010-12-18 20:58 andres-calderon: how were the .fpd generated? 2010-12-18 20:59 was it a one-time concversion, and future edits will be made in .fpd, or will the source stay the source for edits 2010-12-18 20:59 right now they say "don't edit" 2010-12-18 20:59 ah no, they don't say that :-) 2010-12-18 20:59 but they say "MACHINE GENERATED" 2010-12-18 20:59 with the FPED editor 2010-12-18 21:00 they were created with the fped editor? 2010-12-18 21:00 I'm wondering about the 'MACHINE GENERATED' comment 2010-12-18 21:02 Hello i'm back now from Fedora (MIlkymist dev mainlly reason) :) 2010-12-18 21:02 Lets see how it goes 2010-12-18 21:04 Fedora has SELinux enabled by default, right? 2010-12-18 21:04 dont know 2010-12-18 21:04 never worked with that before, had to get used to a few bumps 2010-12-18 21:05 ah yes i got some auto-bugs pop ups from SELinux.. 2010-12-18 21:06 yeah. first time for me, I was always happy that it passed me, but now I guess it's time :-) 2010-12-18 21:10 wpwrak: there you are :-) 2010-12-18 21:10 troublesome connection 2010-12-18 21:10 hmm this is because xilinx installer, tricky 2010-12-18 21:10 how do you feel about deleting empty .dcm and .mdc files? 2010-12-18 21:11 when fped creates a .mod file out of a .fpd file, does it also create the .mdc file? 2010-12-18 21:12 [commit] Andres Calderon: kicad modules makefile has been added http://qi-hw.com/p/xue/c49a037 2010-12-18 21:12 [commit] Andres Calderon: Merge branch 'master' of projects.qi-hardware.com:xue http://qi-hw.com/p/xue/be6e03b 2010-12-18 21:14 no, it doesn't generate the.mdc file. so you'll get a complaint from cvpcb 2010-12-18 21:15 setenforce 0 2010-12-18 21:28 if there are complaints, that means we should leave empty .mdc and .dcm files? 2010-12-18 21:28 maybe the .dcm can be deleted? 2010-12-18 21:28 a marketing question: should atusb have a full-sized USB connector, like here http://downloads.qi-hardware.com/people/werner/tmp/nemesis.jpg 2010-12-18 21:29 or mini-USB, like here http://www.almesberger.net/misc/ben/wpan/board-100813.jpg 2010-12-18 21:30 the alternative would probably be micro-usb right away, and those platforms are normally so closed that it will be very hard to get atusb to work 2010-12-18 21:30 (the general shape would be that of the first one) 2010-12-18 21:30 no micro-usb :) 2010-12-18 21:30 there are very few devices that have a mini-usb host receptor 2010-12-18 21:30 like the Neo FreeRunner :-) 2010-12-18 21:30 micro-usb is for idbg. let's not confuse things ;-) 2010-12-18 21:31 I am thinking from the other side - what to plug it into... 2010-12-18 21:31 for the full-size, it will be notebooks, netbooks, maybe open tablets 2010-12-18 21:31 it's basicallly either pc directly or via cable 2010-12-18 21:31 for mini-usb, I doubt many devices exist at all 2010-12-18 21:31 with cable 2010-12-18 21:32 for micro-usb, a lot of devices exist with usb-on-the-go, but they will be too closed to have fun with atusb 2010-12-18 21:32 sure cable is another option 2010-12-18 21:32 pro: can find better placement. contra: if you can't get rid of the cable 2010-12-18 21:32 there are also full-sized USB cables, but they're not so easy to find 2010-12-18 21:32 wolfspraul:  I already deleted the mod. files (and has been a makefile based in the ben-wpan modules makefile) 2010-12-18 21:33 (digi-key has them, though ;-) 2010-12-18 21:33 andres-calderon: I saw it, great 2010-12-18 21:34 when you committed, did you see the merge commit? 2010-12-18 21:35 there is a way to avoid that, I think before you push your commits, you do a 'git fetch origin' and then 'git rebase origin/master' 2010-12-18 21:36 wolfspraul: I dont know anything about the  mdc files. They are used when the module is added to the design... 2010-12-18 21:36 sure don't worry those are tiny details 2010-12-18 21:37 wolfspraul: just, pull -> add  -> commit -> push 2010-12-18 21:38 wpwrak: I'm ok with 'cam' right now for mechanical stuff 2010-12-18 21:38 I don't need it urgently anyway, but it's a good first step 2010-12-18 21:39 so .. full-size usb A plug or mini-usb B receptacle ? :) 2010-12-18 21:40 wpwrak: full-size i think 2010-12-18 21:40 still more universal for usb adapters 2010-12-18 21:40 any other votes ? 2010-12-18 21:43 full-size 2010-12-18 21:44 seems that we have an unanimous vote :) 2010-12-18 21:44 now i have to figure out why my full-sized usb resets all the time ... 2010-12-18 21:45 not reset in mini-usb? 2010-12-18 21:46 the design i made in august, with mini-usb has no usb problems. (the rf side is a disaster, though) 2010-12-18 21:47 the new one, with full-sized USB, has big troubles staying up. not sure why - the usb circuit is basically the same as in "cntr" and very similar to the old atusb, idbg, etc. 2010-12-18 21:47 so there's still a bit of a mystery 2010-12-18 21:50 [commit] Wolfgang Spraul: deleted empty .dcm files http://qi-hw.com/p/xue/a3b6d36 2010-12-18 21:55 anyway, time for me to go to bed. have to get up early tomorrow. 2010-12-18 21:55 have good sleep 2010-12-18 21:56 getting fun setting up fedora 2010-12-18 21:56 thanks ! have fun ! ;-) 2010-12-18 22:22 :P https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackageKit_Items_Not_Found#Missing_Codec 2010-12-18 22:24 hey fedora fits very well to our free-of-patent world :)
