2010-12-23 01:02 kristianpaul: why AA55AA55 and not AAAAAAAA or 55555555 ? 2010-12-23 01:02 that looks a bit suspicious 2010-12-23 03:17 i try to find out how to use NanoMap, but didn't find any readme file or documentation. does anybody know where i can find some documentation for NanoMap? 2010-12-23 03:24 never mind, i find something here 2010-12-23 03:24 http://www.openmobilefree.net/?p=524 2010-12-23 03:27 xiangfu: except for the info on your page, do we have any other docs? 2010-12-23 03:27 xiangfu: for NanoMap 2010-12-23 03:27 yzhang: did you press 'h'? 2010-12-23 03:27 when you press 'h', you see a nice little help menu popping up 2010-12-23 03:28 zoom in and out is '+' and '-' 2010-12-23 03:28 xiangfu: so h is to popup the help menu, not ? 2010-12-23 03:28 the problem now is that it has no index, so you cannot search for a street name or other poi 2010-12-23 03:28 wolfspraul: thanks. on xiangfu's page said i should press '?' 2010-12-23 03:28 also we are not very smart yet in which tiles (parts) of the map we are packaging, and how to reload/update missing tiles 2010-12-23 03:28 it ididn't work 2010-12-23 03:29 try 'h' first 2010-12-23 03:29 there are also other feathers 2010-12-23 03:29 xiangfu already changed this so that the help menu will show by default after launching the app 2010-12-23 03:31 not in 2010-12-14 release yet, or yes? 2010-12-23 03:32 yzhang: not in 2010-12-14, I did that change after 2010-12-14. 2010-12-23 03:33 by the way, i accidentally went into direction page (i think it is) by press 'e', but i can't do anything there, except 'tap' between controls. i assume all these features don't work, correct? 2010-12-23 03:33 xiangfu: i see. 2010-12-23 03:36 don't know never went there. you are pioneering :-) 2010-12-23 03:37 k, i will play it around and see what we have in there and what we can actually use 2010-12-23 03:39 yzhang: "Alt + s" will exit the 'direction'. I think you pressed 'r' 2010-12-23 03:40 xiangfu: yes, 'r' 2010-12-23 03:40 xiangfu: where do you find all these controls? 2010-12-23 03:40 xiangfu: guessed or i can find it somewhere, in sources? 2010-12-23 03:41 xiangfu: i mean like 'alt+s' is to exit the direction page 2010-12-23 03:42 yzhang: there is a 'underline'  under [S] in "Show map" 2010-12-23 03:43 xiangfu: ah, i see 2010-12-23 03:44 xiangfu: pretty good :) 2010-12-23 03:58 wolfspraul, while i translating *.pos & *.lst to the new smt vendor which they wanted me collecting qty in *.xls file 2010-12-23 03:59 translation to xls, wonderful :-) well, once we get to this we can automate this on the server too, for more 'traditional' partners so they get their beloved .xls files... 2010-12-23 03:59 means that I manually fill them into *.xls Excel file...well 2010-12-23 04:00 please do this: upload the .pos and .lst files as created by KiCad, plus the .xls file you create manually, to a new location on downloads 2010-12-23 04:00 then we can look at this and automate it later 2010-12-23 04:00 only when you are done with the conversion... 2010-12-23 04:00 like in downloads.qi-hardware.com/people/adam/pos_lst_conversion/... 2010-12-23 04:00 so you document the work you did, and we can look at it and see how we can automate it 2010-12-23 04:01 yeah...i suddently thought one thing that I always didn't check those 'value' & 'reference' in KiCad EESchema. 2010-12-23 04:01 yeah...surely I'll upload them all once I done. :) 2010-12-23 04:01 including the pos & lst please, so we can easily see what work you did 2010-12-23 04:02 like side-by-side... 2010-12-23 04:02 i used boom 'cat usb_jtag.ord' to see those reference and count. 2010-12-23 04:02 sure sure pos & lst. 2010-12-23 04:03 also *.lst itself I can see this file so that I can also know real qty by manually count. 2010-12-23 04:05 so my question is : if designer forgot to fill or write wrong 0402 or 0603 or value, can boom realize it? or designer suddently changed sch, but forgot to change info in PCBnew/CVpcb? 2010-12-23 04:06 then I already ordered parts. 2010-12-23 04:07 hmm 2010-12-23 04:08 I understand your question/idea, but need to look into it. 2010-12-23 04:08 the bom can also be exported from pcbnew 2010-12-23 04:08 you are saying we could add some checks that the schematics and the gerbers match, for example in footprint 2010-12-23 04:08 true? 2010-12-23 04:09 I need to look into the specific files and how we can compare/match them for consistency. right now I believe the link between schematics and gerbers is weak, and not much checking goes on _between_ those two files. 2010-12-23 04:11 adamw_: did I understand you correctly? 2010-12-23 04:17 partial correctly. Not only include footprints, also those references/value. 2010-12-23 04:18 for examples, now I am counting the qty for those value are '100nF', the qty is 16pcs for 'C10, C13, C15, C18, C20, C21, C22, C23, C24, C25, C26, C28, C30, C32, C33, C35' 2010-12-23 04:20 ok 2010-12-23 04:20 later if designer changed C23 to be 82nF then the rules of generating '*.lst' file must EVERYTIME generate it from KiCad again. 2010-12-23 04:21 or if designer suddently changed C23 to 0603, then if I missed this info before I ordered parts..then ....bad 2010-12-23 04:23 so seems that at least: 1, suppose believing the layout footprint is fixed already and I 'believe' it was right. 2, everytime I must git clone then generate .lst 2010-12-23 04:24 well...we can discuss later..i need to finish my translation work and send to them. 2010-12-23 05:04 wolfspraul: didn't know Spectec were like that.. 2010-12-23 05:05 wolfspraul: in wiki, it read some time ago that "In October 2009, Renesas released driver sources licensed under the GPL (version 007 for Linux 2.6.24), and a binary firmware (v0.2f)" 2010-12-23 05:05 so i just didn't care (and don't care) who bought whom and whose name is what :) 2010-12-23 05:06 sure, all good 2010-12-23 05:06 the Renesas release took months of me lobbying 2010-12-23 05:06 I think that whole team has been disbanded since. 2010-12-23 05:06 it's a long story 2010-12-23 05:07 it's good you could make it 2010-12-23 05:07 yeah 2010-12-23 05:07 shortly before death :-) 2010-12-23 05:07 (their 'business' death) 2010-12-23 05:08 it's just a coincidence, right? ;) 2010-12-23 05:08 well I think what they tried was extremely ambitious 2010-12-23 05:09 I never spoke to the founder, he already left when Renesas bought the remainders of the startup 2010-12-23 05:09 so I'm not exactly clear what it was that they tried and why they thought they could be successful 2010-12-23 05:10 and what do you think they failed? were trying to bite too much? 2010-12-23 05:10 Renesas only bought it for the people, and to absorb the wifi technology into their SoC monster chips, including everything, to compete with Qualcomm etc. 2010-12-23 05:10 I don't know what they tried to accomplish :-) 2010-12-23 05:10 so I also have no opinion, neither my own nor relayed, on why they failed 2010-12-23 05:10 their site is still running, and i had some discussions with them this summer before byuing Ben 2010-12-23 05:10 nice! 2010-12-23 05:11 perhaps these were already people from Renesas.. 2010-12-23 05:11 who are you talking about? renesas? 2010-12-23 05:11 yes for sure 2010-12-23 05:11 I forgot the name of the startup they bought. 2010-12-23 05:11 i thought i was talking with spectec 2010-12-23 05:11 well, maybe you were? 2010-12-23 05:11 don't know 2010-12-23 05:11 spectec is a small company, 20-30 people, specializing in making external memory cards that include not memory, but other IC-based features 2010-12-23 05:12 doesn't matter know, they suggested the price for SDW-823 much higher than i got from zhangyu :) 2010-12-23 05:12 'low quantity' in comparison to the memory card makers 2010-12-23 05:12 so they find an IC they think could work in a card, then they build a card around it 2010-12-23 05:12 normally in collaboration with the IC maker, the driver will come from the IC maker, and the IC maker needs to support Spectec for any more serious technical challenges 2010-12-23 05:12 i think it's pretty awesome anyway 2010-12-23 05:13 so Spectec's part is to know how to make this work in the (small) format of an external card 2010-12-23 05:13 packaging, 'mechanical', antenna? those things... 2010-12-23 05:24 [commit] Xiangfu Liu: cleanup code style http://qi-hw.com/p/xburst-tools/24aa5a2 2010-12-23 06:12 [commit] Xiangfu Liu: xburst_stage2: don't skip bad block when nand erase http://qi-hw.com/p/xburst-tools/6b3f14b 2010-12-23 06:41 [commit] Xiangfu Liu: xburst_stage2: don't skip bad block when nand erase http://qi-hw.com/p/xburst-tools/0e92eb8 2010-12-23 06:46 wolfspraul: because data is a 1, 0, loop http://kristianpaul.org/~paul/tmp/acquisition.png 2010-12-23 06:46 wolfspraul: oh sorry, i meant wpwrak 2010-12-23 06:46 wpwrak: i updated pic http://kristianpaul.org/~paul/tmp/acquisition.png 2010-12-23 06:47 but yes, i'm going to make a better simulation (this firstone is was too laz for me :-)) 2010-12-23 06:50 kristianpaul: how did you create that png? 2010-12-23 06:50 (which software) 2010-12-23 06:52 wolfspraul: gtkwave 2010-12-23 06:52 then screenshot from the selectec area :-) 2010-12-23 06:52 selected* 2010-12-23 06:54 ah OK, nice. never worked with gtkwave so couldn't tell right away :-) 2010-12-23 06:55 wpwrak: "AAAAAAAA" thats a *huge* number i'm just shifting 8 bits registers so no more that a "AA" 2010-12-23 06:55 me neither, first time 2010-12-23 06:55 works well so far i can tell :-) 2010-12-23 08:34 [commit] Xiangfu Liu: update version to 201012 http://qi-hw.com/p/xburst-tools/8ad5b58 2010-12-23 08:45 [commit] Andres Calderon: 5V Boost for the USB Host has been selected http://qi-hw.com/p/xue/360398e 2010-12-23 09:04 kristianpaul: (AAA...) what i mean is that, if you have a pattern of 010101..., it should either be all 5 or all A, but not change between them, no ? 2010-12-23 09:10 xiangfu: (xburst-tools fixed) great ! let's hope this solves the debian nightmares :) 2010-12-23 09:10 wpwrak: yes. :) 2010-12-23 09:13 xiangfu: by the way, why did this affect debian but not openwrt ? 2010-12-23 09:14 wpwrak: because when reflash debian it's always use "nerase 16 4080 0 0". 2010-12-23 09:14 wpwrak: but in openwrt.we use "nerase 16 1024 0 0 " which will not overflow the nand block count. 2010-12-23 09:15 so when there is some bad block in [16 ~ 1024] it will overwrite the data partition. 2010-12-23 09:15 aah, so they use the whole nand for rootfs andf don 2010-12-23 09:15 't keep a "user" partition. i see 2010-12-23 09:16 wpwrak: the yes. debian kernel use the old nand layout. 2010-12-23 09:16 the bug is 'nerase' always try to erase good block. skip the bad blocks. 2010-12-23 09:17 ... which is a bad idea if you have fixed partition sizes. 2010-12-23 09:18 btw, i like the fixed partition sizes. despite everything, they're much easier to handle than the dynamic insanity we had at openmoko. 2010-12-23 09:20 yes. agree. it's simple and easy maintain. I have read some text form you. :) 2010-12-23 09:21 hehe ;-) 2010-12-23 09:44 wpwrak: the gpio-charger driver is for chargers which indicate whether they are charging or not through an gpio. 2010-12-23 09:52 larsc: ah, for the SE9016. i see. 2010-12-23 09:54 wpwrak: (patter), the shift is continuos so is normal see bits moving from LSB to MSB every clk cycle 2010-12-23 09:54 s/patter/pattern 2010-12-23 09:54 (charger) i wonder why we need D4 there ... 2010-12-23 09:55 xiangfu: the last tarball (xbusrt tools) is up to date as the debian package? 2010-12-23 09:56 (aa/55) ah, so one of 55/aa is not valid. i see. 2010-12-23 09:57 kristianpaul: I only upload a new debian package here : http://projects.qi-hardware.com/index.php/p/xburst-tools/downloads/61/ 2010-12-23 09:57 kristianpaul: not upload hte source tarball yet. 2010-12-23 09:57 but ... isn't mcu_data what the cpu is supposed to read ? i would think that this should only change for each "word" (byte or whatever) 2010-12-23 09:57 i guess that would be mcu_clk 2010-12-23 10:01 wpwrak: mcu_data should be read just when mcu_clk bit 0 is set to hihg 2010-12-23 10:02 high* 2010-12-23 10:07 is this buffered somewhere or does the cpu have that quick ? 2010-12-23 10:08 no fuffer 2010-12-23 10:08 buffer* 2010-12-23 10:09 I was thinking implement a FIFO 2010-12-23 10:10 or make mcu_data 16 bits wide and implement two mcu_data registers then 2010-12-23 10:10 wpwrak: --drill works :-) now onto --plot ... 2010-12-23 10:10 drill? 2010-12-23 10:10 cnc? 2010-12-23 10:11 I start to get the hang of this, I think my rough plan is to first do a lot more of the various file types it can generate 2010-12-23 10:11 I think everyone will be slightly different in terms of how to hook into KiCad, how the classes are organized etc. 2010-12-23 10:11 wolfspraul: wheee ! i'm very much looking forward to doing the whole cam files chain with just "make" 2010-12-23 10:11 then maybe over time as we upgrade KiCad, I will move the patch forward and try to hook it into KiCad better 2010-12-23 10:12 and in parallel I can see on the kicad devel list whether someone is interested in a few small patches 2010-12-23 10:12 there is no need to talk them into the whole idea, what would help a little already is a cleaner separation in some places between GUI and data handling. 2010-12-23 10:13 yes, things are quite heavily interconnected 2010-12-23 10:13 so as long as they are open minded to this very abstract, yet valuable goal, we can make the patch easier to maintain over time 2010-12-23 10:13 not that bad actually 2010-12-23 10:13 so let's see, I try to get things to work that's the highest priority 2010-12-23 10:13 so many more, --drc --svg --bom etc. 2010-12-23 10:14 yup. worst case, they may reject it but it may shame them into doing it "right" themselves :) 2010-12-23 10:14 well I have a plan, just need to find enough time 2010-12-23 10:14 I think the source quality is not bad 2010-12-23 10:14 how do you like the indentation style ? 2010-12-23 10:14 first I make the -- stuff work, then I try to find the cleanest way to insert the patch. 2010-12-23 10:14 and then I try to submit patches to them that would make a cleaner insertion possible. 2010-12-23 10:14 also, some functions are horribly long. but not all of them, of course 2010-12-23 10:14 ah I don't care 2010-12-23 10:15 mental flexibility... 2010-12-23 10:15 heh :) 2010-12-23 10:15 of course the C++ stuff is horrible. Well, I used 'features' too, like 'friend' 2010-12-23 10:15 /* false */ friend 2010-12-23 10:15 anyway no need to waste time bashing on this lost cause 2010-12-23 10:16 no with 'friend' you can override the protected/private stuff 2010-12-23 10:16 yes, that's why it's not very friendly :) 2010-12-23 10:16 oh of course, you can also override it in a .h file, even for binary libs. because in the myriad of C++ name mangling, protected/private is the one thing that is not reflected in the mangled names. go figure. 2010-12-23 10:16 s/friend/infiltrator/ :) 2010-12-23 10:16 oh it's super friendly, why not? we love C++, don't we? 2010-12-23 10:17 anyway, I'll get it to work first. --drill does already. Yes, we will get your entire cam workflow make-ready. that's the goal. 2010-12-23 10:18 wonderful. thanks ! 2010-12-23 10:21 thank me when it's working. 2010-12-23 10:21 this myriad of inter-twined classes, argh. 2010-12-23 10:21 hwo can anybody take this serious? 2010-12-23 10:30 wpwrak: before try real sige data, i'm wroking on a simple counter in roder to simulate data and then verify if cpu is quick enought to cath it all 2010-12-23 10:30 s/roder/order 2010-12-23 10:35 kristianpaul: great. let's see how bad it gets :) 2010-12-23 10:35 lol 2010-12-23 10:36 Now that sees apps like stardict,gmu and nanomap are wroking well, there is a easy way to quit then using same keys? 2010-12-23 10:37 may be with F keys.. wait for a keystrok when receive it killall app :p 2010-12-23 10:37 stil kindof messy remenber how to quit every app 2010-12-23 10:37 as i saw yzhang was askinf some hours ago 2010-12-23 10:39 no need to kill gmu, you can fully customize its button mappings, so just map exit to the key you want 2010-12-23 10:39 wpwrak: 8bits at least reduce troughput to the half (~1Mps ), and if still bad, i'll move to 16bits then 2010-12-23 10:40 wejp: i still wonder why i should press F1 then Alt+ s to quit gmu :S 2010-12-23 10:40 but yes patch every apps seems more reasonable and clean :-) 2010-12-23 10:40 you don't have to press F1 2010-12-23 10:40 F1 is for the help screen 2010-12-23 10:41 did you tried last image release? 2010-12-23 10:41 no, not yet 2010-12-23 10:41 you should :-) 2010-12-23 10:41 i will 2010-12-23 10:52 Did anyone see this, then? 2010-12-23 10:52 http://jlime.com/wiki/news/muffinman_preview_release 2010-12-23 10:53 Sorry if this is bad sport 2010-12-23 11:05 B_Lizzard: looking cool ! btw, a style remark: it's written in the first person, but there's no indication who the author is 2010-12-23 11:06 Ah, it's specified in the front page 2010-12-23 11:06 Sorry bout that 2010-12-23 11:06 I am the author 2010-12-23 11:07 I know the writing is bad, but I got bored after a while for a full writeup 2010-12-23 11:07 :) 2010-12-23 11:07 ah, you fixed it already :) thanks ! 2010-12-23 11:08 Yeap, a bad mistake on my part 2010-12-23 11:08 Thanks for the help, wpwrak :) 2010-12-23 11:09 Newer versions come with a J2ME environment which runs kinda well. 2010-12-23 11:10 Opera Mini supposedly works but I'm having trouble connecting to the net 2010-12-23 11:11 that's a sort of important feature :) 2010-12-23 12:47 [commit] Andres Calderon: fped footprints added http://qi-hw.com/p/xue/e823630 2010-12-23 14:35 B_Lizzard: still no ethernet on that preview? 2010-12-23 14:35 (that stop me from use it...) 2010-12-23 14:44 larsc says it's not stable 2010-12-23 14:44 I can't remember where the patch is 2010-12-23 14:44 :D 2010-12-23 15:45 kristianpaul: ping lars, no B_Lizzard 2010-12-23 16:10 Hi wpwrak  and wolfspraul  I got a rookie problem with KiCad: I got a lot of error because of the netlist. 2010-12-23 16:13 [commit] Andres Calderon: minor fix http://qi-hw.com/p/xue/786284f 2010-12-23 16:13 [commit] Andres Calderon: cleanup http://qi-hw.com/p/xue/6a075dd 2010-12-23 16:13 I'm more rookie than you are! 2010-12-23 16:13 so let's send some prayers somewhere that wpwrak_ hears our suffering... :-) 2010-12-23 16:14 errors where ? 2010-12-23 16:14 if not, we shall forever burn in KiCad hell... 2010-12-23 16:15 i hear but i'm in and out a lot today. need to prepare stuff for tomorrow. 2010-12-23 16:17 [commit] Werner Almesberger: f10/: seasonal fun project - distribute current to ten ignitors (2 x 22 R) http://qi-hw.com/p/wernermisc/3427d69 2010-12-23 16:17 among them, this little thing. no ben, not even active components, but fun anyway :) 2010-12-23 16:17 Component "C66": Mismatch! module is [0402] and netlist said [] 2010-12-23 16:17 Component "C63": Mismatch! module is [0402] and netlist said [] 2010-12-23 16:18 aaah ! ;-) 2010-12-23 16:18 reading the current netlist 2010-12-23 16:19 let's see .. 2010-12-23 16:20 when you invoke cvpcb, you see lots of components that don't have a footprint 2010-12-23 16:20 you should assign one 2010-12-23 16:21 ok, That's what I always have. 2010-12-23 16:24 in fact, the underlying problem seems to be elsewhere ... wait a minute ... 2010-12-23 16:24 But the .net file.  is no longer in the repository .. I thought it was deleted because it is a machine generated  file from the schematic. 2010-12-23 16:27 .net should be machine-generated, yes. having it just makes the problem 2010-12-23 16:28 s/makes/masked/ 2010-12-23 16:28 so, i can  fix the .net file and then delete the .gitignore entry. 2010-12-23 16:28 That's the solution? I have added the footprints in the schematic. But they have been ignored. 2010-12-23 16:29 the problem is that cvpcb apparently doesn't use the footprints in the schematic if there's a .cmp file 2010-12-23 16:29 unfortunately, the .cmp file is very incomplete 2010-12-23 16:29 so you have two choices: 1) add associations for all undefined footprints in cvpcb, or 2010-12-23 16:30 2) delete xue-rnc.cmp and run cvpcb again. it will then associate all the footprints it finds in the schematics. a few will still be undefined, though 2010-12-23 16:31 e.g., C7, C8, C9, F1, J1, RP1, RP2, etc. 2010-12-23 16:31 (they probably don't have a footprint in the schematics) 2010-12-23 16:31 yep. that's their problem 2010-12-23 16:32 anyway, gotta run. need more explosives ;-) 2010-12-23 16:33 :)  I'll try option 2 2010-12-23 16:33 thanks 2010-12-23 16:35 good choice ;-) 2010-12-23 17:00 does this mean we should not commit the .cmp file into git and recreate it every time locally? 2010-12-23 17:29 it may contain original data too. depends on your workflow. 2010-12-23 17:30 yes I know this file was always categorized as 'unclear' in terms of original or not... 2010-12-23 17:32 so maybe if we declare a certain workflow to be the preferred one (?) we can be more sure? guess we find out later 2010-12-23 17:34 that would help. but then you'd have to regenerate .cmp locally, or get a complaint from pcbnew on each invocation. 2010-12-23 17:35 it's basically that, whatever you do, it's not quite right 2010-12-23 17:42 [commit] Andres Calderon: xue-rnc.cmp file has been restored http://qi-hw.com/p/xue/695a7ab 2010-12-23 19:45 zrafa: hello (late) 2010-12-23 19:47 zrafa: lars or larsc ? 2010-12-23 19:47 xiangfu: morning :-) 2010-12-23 19:48 kristianpaul: hi 2010-12-23 21:50 [commit] Andres Calderon: new PSU draft design http://qi-hw.com/p/xue/851da63 2010-12-23 21:57 http://www.debwrt.net/trac/wiki :)  Debian + OpenWrt = debwrt 2010-12-23 21:59 xiangfu: opkg is .deb compatible i remenber 2010-12-23 22:01 xiangfu: http://www.debwrt.net/trac/wiki/MinimumRequirements <-- too high (e device should have at least 350M(or more) of storage available for the Debian root filesystem) 2010-12-23 22:02 I wonder who really want debian in its router.. 2010-12-23 22:02 but looks intersting anyway :-) 2010-12-23 22:03 kristianpaul: now the last openwrt image  goto 400M :) 2010-12-23 22:04 wow, that was quick (goto 400MB) 2010-12-23 22:05 because of emacs? :-) 2010-12-23 22:05 may be content? 2010-12-23 22:06 no please no more discuss about changing NAND schema again ;-) 2010-12-23 22:08 a lot of package. gcc-mips, emacs ... 2010-12-23 22:08 we need remove some useless program. I found the "sshfs" in openwrt never work. 2010-12-23 22:08 yes 2010-12-23 22:08 we need polls :-) 2010-12-23 22:10 xiangfu: do you really think is convinient have all those command line apps in gmenu2, why not just a shell icon, i think people will want this commands to be run will enjoy get a shell first 2010-12-23 22:11 kristianpaul: hmm.. I am thinking list the terminal apps in gmenu2x which make people know there is such app in nanonote. 2010-12-23 22:12 kristianpaul: I don't have a good idea how to make people know there are a lot of apps in nanonote. 2010-12-23 22:12 hmm thats true too 2010-12-23 22:13 I'm just thinking in end-user people, just want this device work out the box 2010-12-23 22:13 how they wil face command line apps, at first.. 2010-12-23 22:13 may be a manual could help 2010-12-23 22:14 anyway just a *tought* 2010-12-23 22:14 i'm off now, bye 2010-12-23 22:19 bye. 2010-12-23 22:54 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aj1n2_qEq5k 2010-12-23 22:54 10Mhz, 512Kb.
