| [00:28] | <may1937> | Mike_L: 64M RAM, normal config only exposes 32M to linux |
| [00:29] | <may1937> | i think the dac is a pretty typical headphone type, i haven't really done any critical listening |
| [00:29] | <may1937> | you can find schematics here svn.neurostechnology.com DAC data sheet also in that dir |
| [00:32] | <may1937> | as far as power on the blog i think you can find someone who was running it with batteries on a windsurfer? i'm not sure of the details though |
| [00:55] | <Xorlev> | I've been trying to find that out too. I'm planning on using mine as a platform for a robot soon. |
| [01:46] | <Mike_L> | 32MB of RAM isn't much to work with... it's the same amount as the $80 NSLU2 |
| [01:47] | <Mike_L> | I suppose the DSP could be quite useful for image and audio analysis software for a robot |
| [01:56] | <nerochiaro> | Mike_L: you can't really program much of it, though. does your robot need to do a/v stuff ? if it doesn't and you don't want to use the DSP, you can reclaim the full 64MB for linux. or if you manage to use the DSP with your own programming, you can find a better way to share mem between DSP and linux |
| [01:57] | <nerochiaro> | currently the software we use to manage the DSP just reserve a 32M block (which is hidden from kernel) and manage it as it please |
| [01:57] | <nerochiaro> | but you can change that according to your needs, if you are programming the DSP yourself |
| [14:44] | <MattWork> | I have a couple of pre-purchase questions. |
| [14:45] | <greyback> | MattWork: Fire away |
| [14:46] | <MattWork> | With the OSD, how would I copy files from a CF card to a USB HD? Do I need a PC, or just a TV? |
| [14:47] | <greyback> | You can cut & paste files around using the OSD, but it's not very fast. A PC would be the quicker way |
| [14:47] | <MattWork> | Do I have to cut and paste files individually, or can I batch it? |
| [14:48] | <greyback> | Individually I'm afraid |
| [14:48] | <MattWork> | The use-case is backups of photos (raw and jpg) from my DSLR to my USB HD. |
| [14:48] | <greyback> | I think you can copy directories |
| [14:48] | <nerochiaro> | MattWork: back it up by directory |
| [14:49] | <MattWork> | By directory would work. |
| [14:49] | <MattWork> | I read that the USB interface is USB 1.1. Is this a HW limitation? |
| [14:49] | <greyback> | Yep |
| [14:50] | <nerochiaro> | a most unfortunate one |
| [14:50] | <MattWork> | That's rather sad. Any rumors of a HW rev to resolve that issue? |
| [14:51] | <nerochiaro> | other than soldering on your own usb2 controller and patching kernel to use it, i don't think on current hardware you can bypass that |
| [14:52] | <MattWork> | Alright. Thanks. You've been really helpful. Later. |
| [14:53] | <gl2tosl2> | hey greyback |
| [14:53] | <gl2tosl2> | you have time for a quick analysis question? |
| [14:53] | <greyback> | gl2tosl2: hey, long time no hear |
| [14:53] | <gl2tosl2> | :) |
| [14:53] | <greyback> | You can try me! |
| [14:53] | <gl2tosl2> | yup |
| [14:53] | <gl2tosl2> | if a function is differentiable and bounded |
| [14:53] | <gl2tosl2> | on some interval |
| [14:53] | <gl2tosl2> | is it's derivative necessarily bounded? |
| [14:54] | <gl2tosl2> | I think so, but I'd rather not prove it right now. |
| [14:54] | <greyback> | hmm, yeah I think so too |
| [14:57] | <greyback> | Yeah I think you're right, if a curve is bounded above, there's no way it's slope can be infinte at any point |
| [14:57] | <gl2tosl2> | yeah |
| [14:58] | <gl2tosl2> | I don't think I'll prove it. |
| [14:58] | <greyback> | Nah, it's not too bad. Just write the derivative in first principles, you can take the limit out and keep a bound. |
| [14:58] | <greyback> | I think you can call it "trivial" |
| [15:00] | <gl2tosl2> | right |
| [15:01] | <gl2tosl2> | cool, I'm going to go replace the fan belt on my car now. Talk to you later. |
| [15:03] | <nerochiaro> | gl2tosl2: did you need the math to replace the belt in your car ? |
| [15:04] | <gl2tosl2> | no, but I thought it was good punchline :) |
| [15:04] | <nerochiaro> | it worked ;) |
| [15:04] | <gl2tosl2> | I'll be around some in the coming days (it's winter break). But I've still got crap I need to work on :( |
| [15:05] | <nerochiaro> | my winter break is just over starting today :( |
| [15:05] | <nerochiaro> | so be happy |
| [15:06] | <gl2tosl2> | okay, I've got a couple weeks left I guess. Now I really need to go take advantage of the warm weather (above freezing!!) and work on the car. |
| [15:06] | <nerochiaro> | have fun |
| [15:35] | <DeepB> | it is me or the wiki doesn't work? |
| [15:35] | <nerochiaro> | DeepB: i can access it |
| [15:37] | <DeepB> | it is me ;) |
| [21:51] | <syno> | Hi i am using ubantu and trying to get my OSD to access the files. it can see them but asks for a username and password. i tryed my admin user pass but it says its incorrect. can any one help? |
