2011-05-16 00:28 <qwebirc75420> You have GP782A0 ?
2011-05-16 01:58 <kristianpaul> hi wolfspraul 
2011-05-16 01:59 <kristianpaul> Can you please take a look at https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Ben_NanoNote
2011-05-16 01:59 <kristianpaul> Fix all the erros you found,
2011-05-16 01:59 <kristianpaul> and expand intro history :-)
2011-05-16 01:59 <kristianpaul> if you consider it should
2011-05-16 01:59 <wolfspraul> oh wow, wait looking
2011-05-16 03:36 <kristianpaul> wpwrak: qi-bot is able to read commits from github?
2011-05-16 03:36 <kristianpaul> wolfspraul: ^
2011-05-16 03:38 <wolfspraul> don't know
2011-05-16 03:46 <kristianpaul> he i dint knew this http://opencores.org/news,1304959611
2011-05-16 03:48 <wolfspraul> he, nice
2011-05-16 03:49 <kristianpaul> oh, there is a phone number :-)
2011-05-16 03:49 <wolfspraul> just checking their donation, it's up to about 10,000 USD now, not bad
2011-05-16 03:50 <wolfspraul> shows that there is quite some passion behind this idea
2011-05-16 03:50 <wolfspraul> not that those 10k usd will ever result in anything, imho :-)
2011-05-16 07:26 <DocScrutinizer> wow, would result in a nice holiday here :-D
2011-05-16 07:30 <DocScrutinizer> kristianpaul: microSD is mostly specifying formfactor, while SDHC is a protocol implying a maximum supported storage size (next step SDXC)
2011-05-16 14:33 <lunavorax_mini> Hello everyone !
2011-05-16 14:34 <lunavorax_mini> Is it me or did the VGA via SD Card slot on the Ben Nanonote made some serious progress ? :)
2011-05-16 14:40 <wpwrak> lunavorax_mini: it did fro the first version to the latest. didn't have time to play with it last week, though, so no progress since it hit the news
2011-05-16 14:46 <lunavorax_mini> wpwrak, I said this because I saw some articles about it on hackaday and such with a beautiful picture of a perfect vga screen.
2011-05-16 14:50 <lunavorax_mini> wpwrak, well this one actually http://downloads.qi-hardware.com/people/werner/ubb/vga/web/ubb-vga-pub-1024-medium.jpg
2011-05-16 14:53 <wpwrak> lunavorax_mini: dvdk submitted it to slashdot once i had set up a page about it: http://downloads.qi-hardware.com/people/werner/ubb/vga/web/
2011-05-16 14:54 <wpwrak> lunavorax_mini: i mentioned the page on the mailing list: http://lists.en.qi-hardware.com/pipermail/discussion/2011-May/007981.html
2011-05-16 14:54 <wpwrak> (although after we got slashdotted ;)
2011-05-16 14:55 <lunavorax_mini> wpwrak, ok :)
2011-05-16 14:55 <lunavorax_mini> wpwrak, I suddently was wondering if that kind of hack was possible on my netbook which got an SD card slot.
2011-05-16 14:56 <lunavorax_mini> wpwrak, not necesseraly a VGA hack but a bliniking led hack and such.
2011-05-16 14:59 <wpwrak> depends on whether you can find out what controller chip is used for the sd card slot. it's probably some usb-to-sd/mmc/ms/etc. bridge
2011-05-16 14:59 <methril_work> once again wpwrak impress me
2011-05-16 15:00 <wpwrak> then you can try to find documentation. then find out if it implements some direct gpio access. if it does, great. if it doesn't, your plan B would be to see if you can fake transactions to a point where they do something useful. faking transactions is tricky, though.
2011-05-16 15:03 <wpwrak> methril_work: success ! ;-)
2011-05-16 15:05 <methril_work> i need to met you some day, you motivate some hackers ;)
2011-05-16 15:06 <lunavorax_mini> ok wpwrak look even harder than I though :P
2011-05-16 15:07 <wpwrak> lunavorax_mini: yeah. it's much easier with an SoC, like in the ben. there, you have the controller right in the cpu and you can generally switch the pins to gpio
2011-05-16 15:08 <wpwrak> methril_work: actually ... i should have a slot to speak about qi-hw at FISL. so if you go there, we could have a few beers ;-)
2011-05-16 15:09 <methril_work> wpwrak, i`ll try to go
2011-05-16 15:11 <kristianpaul> beer !
2011-05-16 15:11 <kristianpaul> free beer? ;_)
2011-05-16 15:11 <kristianpaul> wpwrak: methril_work have a mm1 i think, so i think it looks like you can make a party :-)
2011-05-16 15:12 <methril_work> i`ve 
2011-05-16 15:13 <methril_work> i`ll try to be there
2011-05-16 15:14 <wpwrak> methril: great !
2011-05-16 15:15 <lunavorax_mini> Oh it's in Brazil !
2011-05-16 15:16 <kristianpaul> se
2011-05-16 15:17 <wpwrak> lunavorax_mini: no less than the biggest annual free software event on the planet :)
2011-05-16 15:17 <lunavorax_mini> wpwrak, darn :( can't be there at all
2011-05-16 15:17 <lunavorax_mini> too far
2011-05-16 15:18 <wpwrak> it's actually a pretty convenient distance from buenos aires ;-)
2011-05-16 15:18 <lunavorax_mini> Hahaha
2011-05-16 15:18 <kristianpaul> is near but dont have credit now, may be for a travel to argetina later
2011-05-16 15:18 <kristianpaul> indeed wpwrak :-)
2011-05-16 15:18 <kristianpaul> I think you can reach brazil even by Bus i was talk some day..
2011-05-16 15:19 <lunavorax_mini> wpwrak, I really don't have credits for now, even less if you add the fact that I still am considering to make a donation to qi-hw ;)
2011-05-16 15:19 <wpwrak> (now they're even flying there from the domestic airport, which is a few taxi minutes closer to my home than the international one. has more strikes, though.)
2011-05-16 15:21 <methril_work> wpwrak, if i finally go, you could come to Pelotas, and we go together
2011-05-16 15:21 <wpwrak> kristianpaul: (bus) should be feasible. it would be something like 24 hours, i guess. by plane it's something like 2-3 hours
2011-05-16 15:22 <methril_work> i`m living near Porto Alegre
2011-05-16 15:22 <methril_work> 2-3 hours by car
2011-05-16 15:23 <methril_work> bbl, lunch time
2011-05-16 16:01 <methril_work> i`m back
2011-05-16 22:13 <ron_> wpwrak have you been following recent news about device support by Android
2011-05-16 22:14 <ron_> protocol does not look too complex
2011-05-16 22:15 <ron_> one reason it may be interesting w/Nanonote is it's designed for USB device (like Ben) talking with external platform (USB host)
2011-05-16 22:15 <ron_> some interesting Android-ish stuff will support the Google protocol
2011-05-16 22:15 <ron_> http://www.linuxfordevices.com/c/a/News/FTDI-Vinco-and-Microchip-starter-kit/?kc=rss
2011-05-16 23:19 <wpwrak> rjeffries: funny. reversed host/device roles ;)
