| [12:37] | <JoeBorn> | finally got Tivo2go running. |
| [12:56] | <Inc> | woohoo |
| [13:00] | <JoshMalone> | dangit - this board is ignoring my input |
| [13:27] | <JoeBorn> | uh oh! |
| [13:30] | <nerochiaro> | JoeBorn: what ? |
| [13:32] | <JoeBorn> | Sorry "JoshMalone: uh oh" is what I should have said |
| [13:41] | <JoshMalone> | gotta go wrangle a ethernet cable and a different serial adapter |
| [13:41] | <JoshMalone> | figure out whats wrong... |
| [13:41] | <JoshMalone> | bbl8r |
| [13:43] | <JoeBorn> | how much consideration do I have to give to Linux compatibility when buying a new Dell laptop? |
| [13:45] | <Inc> | not much |
| [13:45] | <Inc> | but dells suck |
| [13:45] | <Inc> | they are over priced |
| [13:46] | <Inc> | it's all I guess what oyu will be using it for and your budget |
| [14:35] | <JoshMalone> | okay - serial port on work PC works |
| [14:35] | <JoshMalone> | dangit |
| [14:43] | <JoshMalone> | grrrr....can't change the baud rate |
| [14:45] | * JoeBorn bites nails in anticipation | |
| [15:07] | <JoshMalone> | man this board resets quick |
| [15:07] | <nerochiaro> | how quick ? |
| [15:09] | <JoshMalone> | < .5 seconds |
| [15:09] | <JoshMalone> | just to get uboot running again |
| [15:09] | <JoshMalone> | u-boot was quite slow on ADS boards |
| [15:11] | <JoeBorn> | what's the total bootup time now? |
| [15:11] | <JoshMalone> | not sure - wont boot yet :) |
| [15:11] | <JoeBorn> | so total bootup time is 2 days and counting or something, seems slow. |
| [15:12] | <JoshMalone> | lol |
| [15:17] | <JoshMalone> | installing tftp server on lappy now :) |
| [15:17] | <JoshMalone> | we;'ll get it up |
| [15:17] | * JoshMalone needs to update u-boot w/ one that supports a baud rate my USb serial works right with | |
| [15:17] | <JoshMalone> | .... |
| [15:26] | <JoeBorn> | tftp server is some kind of ftp server, I assume? |
| [15:26] | <JoshMalone> | trivial ftp :) |
| [15:27] | <JoshMalone> | boot protocol used by low-level bootloaders to fetch files |
| [15:27] | <JoeBorn> | oh, interesting. |
| [15:28] | <JoshMalone> | finally!!! |
| [15:28] | <JoshMalone> | stupid ifplugd was dropping the ethernet interface on my laptop |
| [15:28] | <JoshMalone> | programming flash now :) |
| [15:30] | <JoshMalone> | www.cv.nrao.edu |
| [15:30] | <JoshMalone> | session log from my terminal |
| [15:30] | <JoshMalone> | see the boot process if anybody's interested |
| [15:33] | <JoshMalone> | hold on |
| [15:34] | <nerochiaro> | what were these access violations on TFTP ? |
| [15:34] | <JoeBorn> | URL doesn't work yet, I guess. |
| [15:34] | <JoshMalone> | fixed : try this: |
| [15:34] | <JoshMalone> | www.cv.nrao.edu |
| [15:35] | <JoshMalone> | nerochiaro: that was my laptop's tftp server messed up |
| [15:35] | <nerochiaro> | ah, ok |
| [15:36] | <JoshMalone> | now booting linux :) |
| [15:36] | <JoshMalone> | refresh the page |
| [15:37] | <JoshMalone> | guess I shouldn't have stripped the modules, huh? :) |
| [15:38] | <nerochiaro> | yeah, looks like it didn't like that |
| [15:38] | <nerochiaro> | you said you stripped them to save space ? |
| [15:38] | <JoshMalone> | had to |
| [15:38] | <JoshMalone> | ramdisk is only 3megs compressed |
| [15:38] | <JoshMalone> | thats okay |
| [15:39] | <JoshMalone> | linux sees the CF card fine - I can mount root from ext2 on CF |
| [15:40] | <nerochiaro> | speaking of the CF card, you used one of your own ? |
| [15:40] | <JoshMalone> | yeah |
| [15:41] | <nerochiaro> | need to get a cheapo one off of ebay then. i have only SD cards lying around |
| [15:42] | <JoshMalone> | it has SD slot |
| [15:42] | <JoshMalone> | not sure if ti work in linux yet |
| [15:42] | <JoshMalone> | I have no SD card to test with |
| [15:43] | <nerochiaro> | hmm, i'll ask in ML |
| [15:43] | <Inc> | zoom |
| [15:43] | <Inc> | who's nerochiaro ? |
| [15:43] | <nerochiaro> | me ? |
| [15:43] | <JoshMalone> | mounted my microdrive |
| [15:43] | <JoshMalone> | refresh page |
| [15:43] | <Inc> | yes you. |
| [15:43] | * Inc just was curious. | |
| [15:44] | <JoeBorn> | nerochiaro is one of the original neuros hackers |
| [15:44] | <Inc> | I see cool. |
| [15:44] | <JoeBorn> | probably one of hte most senior people here. |
| [15:44] | <Inc> | hehe |
| [15:44] | <JoeBorn> | much more interested in audio than video tho. |
| [15:45] | <Inc> | JoeBorn, your lokoking for a laptop? |
| [15:45] | <nerochiaro> | Inc: it just looked like a strange question |
| [15:45] | <Inc> | *looking |
| [15:45] | <Inc> | nerochiaro, no wories seeing nero made me think of neuros so I wondered if you were involved with them |
| [15:45] | <Inc> | plus your in teh topic |
| [15:45] | <JoeBorn> | but, actually since you asked, Inc, who are you and how did you come across us? |
| [15:46] | <JoeBorn> | Inc: yep, I'm looking for a laptop (for obvious reasons) |
| [15:46] | <nerochiaro> | Inc: yeah, i've tried to get that topic removed since forever, but it's going to be impossible. anyway, no, i don't work for neuros |
| [15:47] | <JoeBorn> | Nero: we'll get it changed, it will just take some persistance. |
| [15:47] | <nerochiaro> | JoeBorn: i'm starting to give up |
| [15:48] | <Inc> | well I was looking for PMP. Specifically linux ones weighing all my options. Ran into something about neuros somewhere checked out the site and figured Id join to learn more about it. I do some development in linux specifically on arcane and do some programing and though this might be fun to look at for being apple to code some stuff for an application. I ran into someone mentioning joeborn I said who's he because adamsomethingorother mentionted you and h |
| [15:48] | <Inc> | That's about all. |
| [15:48] | <nerochiaro> | JoshMalone: why your ls output has these weird char codes in it ? |
| [15:49] | <nerochiaro> | JoshMalone: or is it an artifact of the browser ? |
| [15:49] | <JoshMalone> | artifact of raw ascii dump |
| [15:49] | <JoshMalone> | those are bksp :) |
| [15:49] | * Inc is curious when apples speech will be. | |
| [15:49] | <JoeBorn> | Inc: cool, well, welcome aboard. Don't be discouraged by me, there are lots of intellegent folks in the neuros community :) |
| [15:49] | <Inc> | and when we will find out if 60gb ipod will be replaced heh |
| [15:50] | <nerochiaro> | JoshMalone: what is a backspace doing in there ? |
| [15:50] | <Inc> | JoeBorn, haha no worries I don't consider you stupid we all need help. I do myself at times. |
| [15:50] | <JoshMalone> | i typed it |
| [15:50] | <nerochiaro> | JoshMalone: you typed it into the output of `ls -l cfc` |
| [15:50] | <nerochiaro> | ? |
| [15:50] | <JoshMalone> | ?? |
| [15:51] | <JoshMalone> | Oh |
| [15:51] | <nerochiaro> | i see lines like this |
| [15:51] | <nerochiaro> | -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 8192 Jul 15 1903 32mDesktop DBm |
| [15:51] | <JoshMalone> | that's ansi |
| [15:51] | <Inc> | JoeBorn, I recomend a hp that's 64bit for a laptop |
| [15:51] | <JoshMalone> | colorzied output in busybox |
| [15:51] | <JoshMalone> | sorry :) |
| [15:51] | <nerochiaro> | JoshMalone: ah, fine |
| [15:53] | <JoshMalone> | well - can't change baud rate to 38400 |
| [15:53] | <JoshMalone> | so i'm screwed with my current USB-serial |
| [15:53] | <JoshMalone> | :( |
| [15:53] | <JoshMalone> | (I think) |
| [15:53] | <nerochiaro> | aren't serials quite cheap ? |
| [15:53] | <JoshMalone> | ? |
| [15:54] | <JoshMalone> | this is only one I've been able to get working with debian |
| [15:54] | <nerochiaro> | if you need to get another i mean |
| [15:54] | <JoshMalone> | good ones are $30-$40 |
| [15:54] | <JoshMalone> | iirc |
| [16:07] | <JoeBorn> | Inc: I'm not sure I really need anything very fancy. |
| [16:08] | <nerochiaro> | JoeBorn: i've seen there are vendors that sell laptops with linux preinstalled, maybe you can find something that suits you among these offerings ? |
| [16:10] | <nerochiaro> | saves you some hassle and you get an hopefully guaranteed working system |
| [16:10] | <Inc> | well they have them for cheap and it would be best you know |
| [16:10] | <Inc> | amd64 is good |
| [16:10] | <Inc> | what's your budget? |
| [16:11] | <nerochiaro> | my guess he's not really under budget constrains ;) |
| [16:16] | <JoeBorn> | well, it's just that I'm just not a very demanding user really. |
| [16:16] | <JoeBorn> | I mean, I'll be pretty happy if I can get "hello world" to compile for a neuros |
| [16:17] | <JoeBorn> | also, I have no weight contstraints. |
| [16:18] | <JoeBorn> | long battery life |
| [16:18] | <JoeBorn> | reasonably priced spare batteries, important |
| [16:19] | <Inc> | JoeBorn, tell me are you within 1,000 or above or below? |
| [16:19] | <JoeBorn> | pre-installed might be good, although honestly, a big part of my goal with setting up the machine is learning |
| [16:20] | <JoeBorn> | $1000-$1500 something like that. |
| [16:20] | <nerochiaro> | JoeBorn: on notebooks that is more tricky than on desktops, AFAIK |
| [16:20] | <nerochiaro> | can be, at least |
| [16:21] | <JoeBorn> | Linux on notebooks? |
| [16:22] | <nerochiaro> | installing it |
| [16:22] | <nerochiaro> | don't have first hand experience, but that's what others told me |
| [16:23] | <JoeBorn> | right, looks like getting wireless working is not necessarily a snap. |
| [16:23] | <JoeBorn> | Also, I have a great setup with my cell phone that I love. |
| [16:23] | <JoeBorn> | EVDO dialup via bluetooth. |
| [16:24] | <JoeBorn> | so I have internet everywhere in Chicago. |
| [16:24] | <Inc> | JoeBorn, ok I'll find some good stuff |
| [16:24] | <JoeBorn> | I even have it working on my Dell Axim, thanks to Druish's help |
| [16:25] | <nerochiaro> | sounds nice |
| [16:29] | <Inc> | JoeBorn, have what? |
| [16:29] | <Inc> | oh |
| [16:54] | <JoeBorn> | srobertson: you there? |
| [16:54] | <JoeBorn> | I want to put a statement on the wiki about adopting open standards and I'm not sure where to put it. |
| [17:19] | <JoeBorn> | what do you all think of DEFCON? |
| [18:20] | <dos000_> | anyone explain to me why you need wine to compile neros fmw ? isnt there a linux tool chain available ? |
| [18:20] | <JoshMalone> | thats referring to the old c54xx firmware |
| [18:20] | <JoshMalone> | not the new one |
| [18:21] | <JoshMalone> | the c54xx TI compiler is win32 |
| [18:24] | <dos000_> | ah ! |
| [18:25] | <dos000_> | JoshMalone, how mush flash is available in the new r3 ? |
| [18:26] | <JoshMalone> | not sure - the board I have has 4mb |
| [18:27] | <dos000_> | tow ! at the very least how much the os with minimal apps will take ? |
| [18:28] | <dos000_> | i want to compile mozilla or xcomp for this thing |
| [18:28] | <JoshMalone> | all :) |
| [18:28] | <JoshMalone> | mozilla is OUT of the question |
| [18:28] | <JoshMalone> | however - there is minimo under development |
| [18:28] | <JoshMalone> | (i think) |
| [18:29] | <JoshMalone> | of course - you can run stuff off the HD on some units....but that has |
| [18:29] | <JoshMalone> | battery impact and soforth.... :) |
| [18:31] | <dos000_> | i ve seen minimo .. thats what i meant. at the very least getiing a minimal stuff going |
| [18:32] | <dos000_> | the plugin an js stuff will be nice |
| [18:34] | <JoshMalone> | thinking to make r3 into a set-top 'net box? |
| [18:35] | <dos000_> | yes ! |
| [18:36] | <dos000_> | that would be nice in fact .. i could never get my hand on those set top boxes .. now i have a chance |
| [18:36] | <dos000_> | with the ethernet port .. i hope someone does not decide to remote it at the last minute |
| [18:36] | <dos000_> | remove |
| [18:43] | <JoshMalone> | want a msn webtv? |
| [18:44] | <dos000_> | noo ... just mythtv |
| [18:45] | <dos000_> | but having the xpcom scriptability/flexibility will be awsome |
| [18:46] | <JoshMalone> | :) |
| [18:46] | <dos000_> | according to www.theneuros.com R3 will get 8M flash .. |
| [18:47] | <JoshMalone> | prolly |
| [18:47] | <dos000_> | there ar so many vertical market ideas i can not disclose now tho ;-) |
| [18:50] | <JoshMalone> | lol |
| [18:51] | <dos000_> | so how far are you in the bsp compile ? |
| [18:52] | <dos000_> | i wiil prolly order a dev board as soon as they are available |
| [18:53] | <dos000_> | how can i use an x86 machine for the testing ? |
| [18:53] | <JoshMalone> | i have bsp running on the target |
| [18:53] | <JoshMalone> | easy |
| [18:53] | <dos000_> | nice ! |
| [18:54] | <JoshMalone> | bsp includes a cross-compiler and cross-debugger |
| [18:54] | <JoshMalone> | re nero |
| [18:54] | <nerochiaro> | re |
| [18:54] | <dos000_> | i want to use netboot to start testing the ui code |
| [18:55] | <JoshMalone> | u can do that w/o dev board |
| [18:55] | <dos000_> | but use an x86 (old k7) macxhine as target platform |
| [18:55] | <dos000_> | exactly ... |
| [18:56] | <dos000_> | can i make the bsp target x86 ? |
| [18:56] | <JoshMalone> | svn co svn://svn.neurostechnology.com/Nano-X/trunk |
| [18:56] | <JoshMalone> | just check-out and run the main app |
| [18:56] | <JoshMalone> | atm, audio and video dont work if running on x86 host |
| [18:56] | <JoshMalone> | but the UI and interface do (or so I hear) |
| [18:58] | <dos000_> | tow ! .. that reposit does not seem toexist .. going to see the svn web now |
| [18:59] | <dos000_> | hmm .. semms there ! |
| [19:07] | <dos000_> | JoshMalone, getting the sources ... |
| [19:10] | <JoshMalone> | good |
| [19:24] | <dos000_> | JoshMalone, i guess no one has written the "your first neuros app " .. gonna try to find about nanox hello world app |
