<tuxbrain> kristianpaul: ping you were seaching for me_
<tuxbrain> ?
<FrankBlues> waves
<wolfspraul> wolfspraul doesn't know how to wave properly, but still waves back :-)
<FrankBlues> Heh, thank you wolfspraul!
<wolfspraul> thanks for hanging out there
<wolfspraul> here
<wolfspraul> :-)
<FrankBlues> np
<kristianpaul> tuxbrain: yes
<kristianpaul> tuxbrain: i'm having issues with tp4/tp5 when sending data from computer to nano
<kristianpaul> my picocom crashes
<tuxbrain> kristianpaul: what uboot?
<kristianpaul> tuxbrain: good question
<kristianpaul> how i can get the version?
<kristianpaul> or do you have same issue in the past?
<kristianpaul> i'm about to use last uboot maybe tonight
<kristianpaul> tuxbrain: and no other?
<tuxbrain> not for serial comunication
<kristianpaul> ok
<tuxbrain> my father says:"if it work don't touc it" :P
<tuxbrain> touc->touch
<kristianpaul> well..
<kristianpaul> heh
<kristianpaul> i dint work yet for me
<kristianpaul> so i'm keep toiching
<kristianpaul> touing ;)
<kristianpaul> touching*
<tuxbrain> shure I must say may father says just aftet, "Why in the name of all saints have you touch it!!!"
<tuxbrain> :P
<tuxbrain> aftet->after
<kristianpaul> lol
<kristianpaul> well
<kristianpaul> i cant resist
<kristianpaul> ;)
<tuxbrain> must leave
<kristianpaul> bye
<cain__> hi
<cain__> I have a question
<cain__> The serial port RX line is enabled ?
<cain__> I'm trying to make a loopback and minicom
<cain__> and doesn't works
<cain__> :(
<cain__> I mean RX of ttyS0
<Xakh> so, what's new in fosslamd?
<Xakh> *fossland
<Xakh> any awesome new xburst ports?
<Xakh> anyone here?
<Xakh> zear: ping
<zear> hey Xakh
<Xakh> hiya
<zear> not much here, working on my thesis
<Xakh> ah. what's it on?
<zear> boring stuff
<zear> don't like google to know (this channel is monitored ;))
<Xakh> haha alright
<tuxbrain_away> cain__: using the lastest oficial uboot you must press Power+S to activate serial RX
<tuxbrain_away> Power+S to boot the BNN
<cain__> Hi David
<cain__> is Carlos
<cain__> I'm on SAKC :(
<cain__> I've already wrote a simple program to change the RX pin functionality
<cain__> works fine :)
<tuxbrain> Hi carlos :) I was to writting you a mail :) are one of this boards on the way to tuxbrain yet?
<tuxbrain> I have read some verilog tutorials and I realize I have done this before :)
<tuxbrain> at University and I have was not bad at it
<tuxbrain> Matricula de honor :P
<tuxbrain> We use Altera soft instead of Verilog, and the acronim of HDL was diferent in Spanish
<tuxbrain> I must say the things we do there where very "simple" and elevator with memory control, weather sensible irrigating sistem control etc... nothing compared implement a full cpu but at least I'm not so afraid to mess with the fpga :P, I think I can start a beguiners tutorial from a beguinner
<cain__> Hi David
<cain__> great, matricula de honor jejeje que nerd :)
<cain__> I'm talking with some people here for mount 9 sakc boards
<cain__> they have a pick and place machine
<cain__> the first one I've soldered at hand
<cain__> but is very tedious
<tuxbrain> sure, too many pins and no value added to do so
<cain__> yes
<cain__> maybe this week we can mount the 9 boards
<cain__> they will mount the boards for free  :)
<cain__> so I'll be waiting for their call
<tuxbrain> so then I guess the 10 saks already mounted have owner :) I hope we can see some publications from them
<cain__> I'll send 5 to Europe, I think that one is for you
<cain__> another for rafa
<cain__> 3 for me and my team
<tuxbrain> from the already mounted or the next samples bathc?
<qwebirc22428> hi
<tuxbrain> hi qwebirc22428
<qwebirc22428> any body from BRasil?
<tuxbrain> methril is from there but I think is away now
<qwebirc22428> tanks every all
<cain__> I've already wrote some pages about HW/SW interface on SAKC
<cain__> in spanish
<tuxbrain> on the wiki? give link and I will take a read
<cain__> wait
<tuxbrain> cain__: what are the main difference between sack fpga and elphel/milkymist one?
<tuxbrain> size?
<tuxbrain> same modules can work on both without recoding?
<tuxbrain> if it fits in size?
<tuxbrain> :) mmm good compendium :)
<cain__> jeje
<tuxbrain> it's a pitty we don't have a free HDL compiler
<cain__> sure
<tuxbrain> having the fpga binary uploader, would be awesome to have full fpga related stuff needed inside SACK
<cain__> but you can download webpack form xilinx
<cain__> is free
<tuxbrain> I'm not saying things are so bad :) just searching for the best :) , having a free as beer compiler for x86 arch is better than expensive propietary soft :)
<tuxbrain> I hope it also works on 64bits arch
<cain__> jeje
<cain__> yes
<cain__> I can configure the .bit file from SAKC
<cain__> i don't need external applications
<cain__> I'm using some GPIOs for drive de FPGA's JTAG port
<steve|m> remembers some guy saying that he has a FPGA bitstream reverse engineering group at his university
<larsc> do they pulish their results somewhere?
<cain__> mmm great
<cain__> but is a hard task
<steve|m> currently searching chatlogs to find out who it was
<cain__> many people working in reconfigurable computing change some info on .bit files
<cain__> they know the .bit architecture
<cain__> but, the problem is the P&R algorithm and the internal architecture
<cain__> Right now I'm working with lm32 on SAKC
<cain__> works fine
<cain__> I'm trying to run plasm, bu I can't
<cain__> I want to use plasma in my computer architecture class
<cain__> David the main difference of SAKC FPGA is size
<cain__> they needs a lot of multipliers, ram blocks,
<steve|m> hm, don't find it anymore, but found something googling a bit
<steve|m> but it doesn't really go in detail, it's more like a general description
<cain__> yes
<cain__> many years ago I've worked with jbits
<cain__> a java tool for manipulate bitstreams
<cain__> I remember that some people make some applications based on this tool
<tuxbrain> I want to implement a module for the elphel camera that in adition of the high resolution high fps video output gives low res low fps output to use a small computer like Nano or SACK, as visor to where is cam aiming, due I have no Idea on how to do so, I think SACK can be a good sandbox to my fisrt aproaches and tests.
<tuxbrain> in adition, can the SACK FPGA be converted in a full ethernet card?
<tuxbrain> or is too big to bee on sack?
<tuxbrain> another interesting core to test http://opencores.org/project,usbhostslave :P
<jd823592> Hello, do you know any other open notebook similar to touchbook?
