<kristianpaul> when i do a signed short int read from a memory maped devices, the cpu is supposed to wide/narrow the data bus to fit my requested data type right?
<kristianpaul> ha, nice find indeed :)
<wpwrak> yes, that's generally what happens. i.e., truncation on writes, zero-padding or sign expansion on reads (details depend on the architecture)

<Ayla> what's UBB?
<wpwrak> Ayla: this little guy: http://en.qi-hardware.com/wiki/UBB
<Ayla> awesooooooome
<Ayla> but why is a board necessary to get USB with the UBB?
<Ayla> wouldn't bit-banging be a solution?
<wpwrak> yeah, but you still need to make the physical connection somehow. the Ben doesn't have a USB A receptacle.
<wpwrak> UBB has already been "mass-produced", so it's something that's readily available (for experiments. once you have the thing working, you can make a neater board)
<blogic> aloha
<larsc> wpwrak: blogic wants to build a 802.15.4. maybe you could give him some hints.
<wpwrak> ah. welcome to the joyful world of RF ! ;-)
<blogic> wpwrak: i am off to bed, i'll ping you tomorrow if you dont mind
<wpwrak> blogic: okay. sweet dreams ! :)
<Ayla> $19 FPGA :)
