abrasive: things goind for me, just turned the corner on a board design (or so it feels)
<projectgus>
and my GK802 is pushing 10 days of uptime, hasn't crashed yet, so that's good too
<projectgus>
s/goind/going good/ brain losing vs keyboard
<abrasive>
excellent!
<abrasive>
what's the board?
<projectgus>
now trying to decide between doing more work this afternoon or going to bask in the sun
<projectgus>
it's for freetronics, idk if i can tell you what it is in irc :/
<projectgus>
i found out my other gk802 was probably the victim of a postal contractor who has since been sacked
<projectgus>
which explains why it never showed up
<projectgus>
which is why i haven't done any gk802 hacking lately, the only one i have is in proper use
<projectgus>
abrasive: what's new with you?
<abrasive>
oh, ouch
<abrasive>
man, auspost's contractors are awful.
<abrasive>
one of mine likes to chuck mail in the garden bed

At least they leave your stuff somewhere near your house.. the guys in the UK fill in the "you weren't at home slip" and don't even knock on the door
<projectgus>
dgp: they do that here too
<projectgus>
until recently (presumably until this guy got fired) that slip would say "come tomorrow after 4pm" on it, too
<projectgus>
so you'd order some express, next day delivery
<projectgus>
next day you'd get the note, even if you were home
<projectgus>
but you couldn't pick the parcel up until the day after
<projectgus>
and I live <8km from the CBD of Melbourne

grumpy with the local post office if you can't tell
<dgp>
Here the little old postman always comes to the door and he always says "it's the post" just incase it's my wife here. She doesn't open the door to people
<projectgus>
aw, that's nice :)
<dgp>
and then he goes "oh, I have something for daniel-san, is that you?"
<dgp>
he's only done that about 50 times..
<projectgus>
ha
<projectgus>
the crap postal service in australia is apparently mostly australia post's fault, from what I understand they outsourced all delivery and pay contractors nearly nothing.
<projectgus>
hence they do things like sign for registered parcels themselves and just chuck them under your mailbox
<dgp>
yeah, outsource it and pay people nothing then wonder why it goes to shit

yes postal service is strange. It cost more to just send a package inside norway than buying some stuff in china and get it delivered to my postoffice. Ok it takes some weeks before it arrive but still...
<dgp>
It cost more to buy Japanese made parts like caps etc in Japan than it does to buy them from Europe or the US and get them shipped back to Japan..
<dgp>
because the shipping for a few grams of stuff is always $6+

dgp: shoving a power meter on the gk802 gives a small indication why you might be seeing heat issues
<monkeyiq>
using all 4 cores during make -j 4 wants 6.6 watts. the effect2d glmark2-es2 test wanted 7.6 watts
<monkeyiq>
gl can be power hungry

monkeyiq: did you happen to do both at once?
<monkeyiq>
projectgus: nup. A good idea though!
<projectgus>
:) thanks for posting the measurements
<projectgus>
my boss has an inline USB current meter, i just remembered I want to buy one :)
<monkeyiq>
no problem at all. I was using a belkin wall wart meter. the inline one sounds like a great buy
<projectgus>
which may be too low for some of these silly gadgets
<projectgus>
monkeyiq: oh, so you're measuring current draw from the AC side, through the power adapter that came with it?
<projectgus>
interesting...
<projectgus>
FWIW I understand those wall wart meters can be pretty bad at measuring switchmode supplies
<projectgus>
although obviously the relative measurements are probably ok
<projectgus>
bbl :)
<monkeyiq>
yeah, there are some grains of salt that come with those measurements.
<dgp>
I'm running my gk802 off of a step down DC-DC converter at the moment.. not sure it's drawing 2A through that
<dgp>
monkeyiq: does you gk802 get hot just when it's just idle?
<monkeyiq>
dgp: just plugging it back in
<monkeyiq>
its back in its original config, full shell
<dgp>
do you have the original android image handy? I would be interested if it can run the antutu benchmark without crashing
<monkeyiq>
antutu wasn't in play store for me :(
<dgp>
I'm sure mine has gotten hotter since I pulled in a bunch of stuff from the latest freescale stuff
<dgp>
monkeyiq: do you want to try out android 4.1.2?
<monkeyiq>
dgp: I was tempted when you mentioned an image the other day... is it public?
<dgp>
you can share it around etc there is just zero warranty for it
<dgp>
if stuff don't work it don't work ;)
<monkeyiq>
zero warranty is ok :)
<dgp>
monkeyiq: you should have a link
<monkeyiq>
dgp: yep got it :)
<dgp>
Doing android roms is basically asking for a headache.. I had a guy harassing me on youtube to make the rom work with his webcam and skype and give him the result.
<monkeyiq>
heh, don't worry about that from me. unless I have a patch for you too
<monkeyiq>
dgp: ok, gk802 has been idle for a while. warm, not hot
<dgp>
I think it's the same as mine then. It gets warm idle and too hot to touch when running 3D stuff
<dgp>
It doesn't seem to get too warm when playing video back though. I guess thats down to hardware decoding
