| [00:22] | <BIMZIE> | hi john and nero |
| [00:45] | <crweb> | BIMZIE: i'm afraid nero is probably still in bed |
| [00:57] | <BIMZIE> | lolz |
| [00:58] | <BIMZIE> | n wot abt john? :) |
| [00:58] | <BIMZIE> | neways crweb hi |
| [00:58] | <crweb> | JohnDesigner: ping |
| [00:58] | <crweb> | hello |
| [00:59] | <JohnDesigner> | hi |
| [00:59] | <crweb> | BIMZIE: if you use the persons nickname, it notifies them that you said the name |
| [00:59] | <JohnDesigner> | whats going on? |
| [01:00] | <JohnDesigner> | big things I tell ya. the're big! thats what |
| [01:01] | <crweb> | magic shows |
| [01:02] | <crweb> | JohnDesigner: i bought the ring friday... |
| [01:02] | <crweb> | afterwards stressed my self out to a point of being sick, lol |
| [01:02] | <JohnDesigner> | does that mean that something bad is going to happen in 24 days or such? |
| [01:03] | <crweb> | i'm going to ask in 2 weeks.. |
| [01:03] | <JohnDesigner> | oh, thats after you *watch* the ring |
| [01:03] | <BIMZIE> | so crweb wot r u workin at |
| [01:03] | <JohnDesigner> | well, I wish you well my friend |
| [01:03] | <crweb> | upgrade scripts, scheduler bugs, and painter research |
| [02:10] | <crweb> | JohnDesigner: hows the weather up there? |
| [03:25] | <french> | helo |
| [03:26] | <french> | helo |
| [03:26] | <nerochiaro> | french: bonjour |
| [03:26] | <french> | salut |
| [03:26] | <french> | salut |
| [03:26] | <french> | j'aurai une question |
| [03:27] | <french> | en faite je cherche les sources verilog du c54x ... |
| [03:27] | <nerochiaro> | french: i don't really speak french ;) if you can ask your question in english, it's better |
| [03:27] | <french> | ok |
| [03:28] | <french> | i search the verilog source of the c54x dsp |
| [03:28] | <nerochiaro> | we don't have sources for any of the code that run on the DSP, it's all closed unfortunately |
| [03:28] | <french> | but it is a soc |
| [03:29] | <french> | this platform run on a soc |
| [03:29] | <french> | no ? |
| [03:29] | <nerochiaro> | we have both ARM and C54x on board. we have open source code for the ARM processor |
| [03:30] | <nerochiaro> | the SoC is TI DM320 |
| [03:30] | <french> | it isn't free ? |
| [03:30] | <french> | or it's free |
| [03:30] | <nerochiaro> | the ARM part is free, the C54x is not |
| [03:31] | <nerochiaro> | if "free" you mean "open source" |
| [03:31] | <french> | yes ... but i speak of the chip |
| [03:31] | <french> | no a software |
| [03:32] | <french> | ok |
| [03:32] | <nerochiaro> | i'm not sure i understand your question. what does it mean that the chip is "free" ? |
| [03:33] | <french> | i search a code verilog or vhdl to load it on a spartan 3 |
| [03:33] | <french> | so i search a code of a chip |
| [03:34] | <french> | do you understand what i mean ? |
| [03:34] | <nerochiaro> | yes, i understand now. and we don't have that |
| [03:35] | <french> | but the DM 320 is on a soc no ? |
| [03:35] | <nerochiaro> | as far as is know the dm320 IS the SoC |
| [03:36] | <french> | ok ! now it's me who understand ... |
| [03:36] | <french> | DM 320 is like a fpga with the code inside ! |
| [03:36] | <french> | ? |
| [03:37] | <french> | on this site : www.opencores.org ... there is a sources of a c54x |
| [03:37] | <nerochiaro> | it's a general dual-CPU system (one ARM9 CPU and one C54x DSP). They are both programmable |
| [03:37] | <french> | ok |
| [03:37] | <nerochiaro> | but i don't know anything about verilog. we use C to write code for them :) |
| [03:37] | <nerochiaro> | the ARM runs Linux |
| [03:38] | <french> | ok |
| [03:38] | <nerochiaro> | an FPGA is a very different thing from what we have, i think |
| [03:38] | <french> | ok |
| [03:38] | <french> | with a fpga, we can make a soc |
| [03:39] | <french> | and i want to realise a soc |
| [03:39] | <crweb> | what is a soc? |
| [03:39] | <french> | system on chip |
| [03:39] | <crweb> | i see |
| [03:39] | <crweb> | yes, DM* series is a soc |
| [03:39] | <nerochiaro> | french: what is that you need to do with the SoC ? |
| [03:40] | <crweb> | however, it is a soc that has a DSP attached |
| [03:40] | <french> | nothing exactly defined |
| [03:41] | <french> | i want to attache a c54x with a LEON3 |
| [03:41] | <french> | on a spartan3 |
| [03:41] | <french> | or more |
| [03:42] | <french> | so i need the sources of the c54x |
| [03:42] | <crweb> | you would probably need to contact TI for that information |
| [03:42] | <crweb> | the C54x is a digital signal processor |
| [03:42] | <nerochiaro> | french: i don't think you will find anything in the neuros source code to help you with that. we have mostly C source code for the ARM processor |
| [03:43] | <nerochiaro> | and no verilog info that i know of |
| [03:43] | <french> | ok |
| [03:43] | <crweb> | we work with the DM* series which is a complete system on 1 chip |
| [03:43] | <crweb> | what you speek is the TMS320C54x |
| [03:44] | <french> | ok |
| [03:44] | <crweb> | i believe the sources are available for $ from TI |
| [03:44] | <nerochiaro> | lot of cash, i think |
| [03:44] | <french> | yes i think too |
| [03:44] | <crweb> | probably around $5k |
| [03:44] | <french> | www.opencores.org |
| [03:45] | <french> | on this site, there is a part of the c54x |
| [03:45] | <french> | but it isn't complete |
| [03:45] | <crweb> | some of the c54x interfaces are closed and only ingenient knows they exist |
| [03:45] | <crweb> | i do not know how that relates to your needs with vhdl/verilog though |
| [03:47] | <french> | ok |
| [03:47] | <french> | i am going to continue my seeking |
| [03:47] | <french> | a little |
| [03:48] | <gremlin[it]> | good morning all |
| [03:48] | <french> | so i thank you |
| [03:48] | <nerochiaro> | french: you're welcome |
| [03:48] | <nerochiaro> | gremlin[it]: hi |
| [03:48] | <french> | thanks |
| [03:49] | <french> | goodbye |
| [07:03] | <BIMZIE> | hi nero |
| [07:03] | <BIMZIE> | bro i need ur help |
| [07:05] | <nerochiaro> | BIMZIE: what's up ? |
| [07:17] | <BIMZIE> | man m kindo gettin mad abt this qt stuff |
| [07:17] | <BIMZIE> | nero its QT4.2 ri8 |
| [07:17] | <BIMZIE> | but when i use setStyleSheet it says it can't find its definition... |
| [07:18] | <BIMZIE> | wots wrong wid it... |
| [07:20] | <nerochiaro> | 4.2.3 |
| [07:20] | <nerochiaro> | soon to be 4.2.4 i think |
| [07:21] | <nerochiaro> | we also disabled styleSheets i think since we don't need them |
| [07:31] | <BIMZIE> | yep i jus read dat doc ab disabled features :( |
| [07:32] | <nerochiaro> | BIMZIE: if you need it's possible to enable it again, but stylesheets aren't a good idea on our setup, i think |
| [07:33] | <BIMZIE> | u a ri8... |
| [07:33] | <BIMZIE> | i'll figure out some alternative for it.... |
| [07:34] | <nerochiaro> | just set the properties in code or use a style plugin |
| [07:34] | <nerochiaro> | we already use our own style plugin, you see that in SVN |
| [07:35] | <BIMZIE> | style plugin... whr is it? |
| [07:36] | <BIMZIE> | i mean its path |
| [07:36] | <nerochiaro> | linux-r3-main-app/plugins/nosdstyle if i recall correctly |
| [07:38] | <BIMZIE> | hmm |
| [07:39] | <BIMZIE> | and wot purpose r these style used for..... |
| [07:39] | <BIMZIE> | is it an alternate for stylesheet or wot...? |
| [07:40] | <nerochiaro> | you can customize the drawing of every widget in a more efficient way than with style sheets |
| [07:41] | <nerochiaro> | yes, alternate to style |
| [07:57] | <BIMZIE> | ahan |
| [07:57] | <BIMZIE> | n currently wot widgets are using ndostyle |
| [07:57] | <BIMZIE> | so i can figure out how to use it |
| [07:59] | <nerochiaro> | if you look at current SVN trunk you will see that buttons now use it |
| [08:07] | <BIMZIE> | i've ndostyle in the version i have.... |
| [08:08] | <nerochiaro> | yes, but i added some stuff for buttons to it yesterday |
| [08:09] | <BIMZIE> | ahh i c.... |
| [08:09] | <BIMZIE> | internet is not so gr8 ri8 now... gotta check out completely :( |
| [08:10] | <nerochiaro> | ok |
| [08:10] | <BIMZIE> | and nero m havin some problem wid nmenulist as welll |
| [08:11] | <nerochiaro> | what ? |
| [08:11] | <BIMZIE> | look i've added some more menus to it.... |
| [08:11] | <BIMZIE> | to be exact it has 9 items ri8 now |
| [08:12] | <BIMZIE> | but at a time its showing 7.5 items... .5 is strange but it is so.... |
| [08:12] | <BIMZIE> | i resized the menu list |
| [08:12] | <BIMZIE> | but no gain man... :( |
| [08:12] | <BIMZIE> | its kindo freakin me out... |
| [08:13] | <nerochiaro> | hmm, not sure what can be the problem |
| [08:18] | <BIMZIE> | any idea..... i thot u guys might b hard coded he list size but didn't find anyhing like dat |
| [08:18] | <nerochiaro> | BIMZIE: it don't think we hardcoded the size, no |
| [08:20] | <BIMZIE> | ahan.... |
| [08:22] | <BIMZIE> | did u add new buttons in main-menu? |
| [08:22] | <BIMZIE> | and i've only chkd out main-menu is it enuf? |
| [08:23] | <nerochiaro> | main-menu doesn't have buttons |
| [08:24] | <BIMZIE> | so i meant i checkd out main-app |
| [08:24] | <nerochiaro> | linux-r3-main-app ? |
| [08:24] | <BIMZIE> | but thr r buttons on dat reboot and about dialog |
| [08:24] | <BIMZIE> | yep |
| [08:24] | <BIMZIE> | is it enuf? |
| [08:25] | <nerochiaro> | enough to do what ? |
| [08:26] | <BIMZIE> | nothin i've figured it out :) |
| [08:27] | <BIMZIE> | wanted to replace linux-r3-main-app from my cur tree |
| [08:27] | <BIMZIE> | but it didn't work out.... |
| [08:36] | <BIMZIE> | looks i gotta chk out neuros cooler too |
| [08:59] | <JoeBorn> | MP0: I heard about the closed captioning work you're doing, thanks for that |
| [09:06] | <gremlin[it]> | hi JoeBorn |
| [09:10] | <vmarks> | hello |
| [09:28] | <wmat> | JoeBorn: I saw your question over on #elinux regarding OLS, did you get an answer? |
| [09:29] | <wmat> | JoeBorn: the guy to ask is Andrew Hutton - ajh@linuxsymposium.org |
| [09:48] | <JoeBorn> | wmat: thanks. |
| [10:22] | <gremlin[it]> | ping nerochia1o |
| [10:22] | <gremlin[it]> | ping nerochiaro |
| [14:14] | <jens_k> | i have problems getting the audiotest program to work. i have enabled debugging and get the following output: |
| [17:05] | <JohnDesigner> | vmarks: ping. |
| [17:06] | <JohnDesigner> | vmarks: in your MC experiments, have you tinkered with BeyondTV 4 yet? |
| [17:52] | <vmarks> | I have done beyondtv4. |
| [17:52] | <vmarks> | recently actually. |
| [17:53] | <JohnDesigner> | I've only toyed with it a little. not yet to the level of actually using it on a day to day basis. |
| [17:54] | <JohnDesigner> | I'm thinking o paring my existing beyondTV lic with an HD homerun tuner. |
| [17:55] | <vmarks> | I found that to be annoying as heck to set up. |
| [17:55] | <vmarks> | I did it. |
| [17:55] | <vmarks> | but lordy. |
| [17:55] | <vmarks> | and I mean, lordy. |
| [17:56] | <vmarks> | beyondtv does not understand QAM channels. |
| [17:56] | <vmarks> | so instead, they fake it. |
| [17:56] | <vmarks> | you have to map your qam channels from cable to ATSC channel format, but choose ones that aren't in use. |
| [17:56] | <vmarks> | you do this online on their website. |
| [17:56] | <vmarks> | then you pick your faked channel lineup in the set up application... |
| [17:57] | <vmarks> | and then, it sort of works. |
| [17:57] | <JohnDesigner> | hrmm, does it work okay on a daily basis after that hassle? |
| [17:58] | <JohnDesigner> | does hd homerun work like Slingpox in the way that only one computer can view the signal at one time? |
| [18:22] | <vmarks> | JohnDesigner, there are two tuners in hdhomerun, so you can view on separate computers. |
| [18:35] | <JohnDesigner> | vmarks: I see. 2 tuners certainly makes the device more attractive. That and the fact that it supports QAM |
| [18:43] | <JohnDesigner> | I have 2 tv capture devices, but both have limitations. the better of the two is pcmcia, but would't you know it that my new lappy has only an expressCard slot. poop. |
| [18:44] | <JohnDesigner> | my computers and devices are not playing well with each other in that respect |
| [19:13] | <vmarks> | and you want to do an htpc... |
| [19:13] | <vmarks> | :) |
| [19:23] | <JohnDesigner> | heh, I see your point. |
| [19:26] | <JohnDesigner> | however, the htpc impulse was created by my devices incompatibility or obsolescence |
| [19:26] | <JohnDesigner> | the hd homerun may scratch that itch. |
| [19:28] | <JohnDesigner> | i'd just buy a new tuner card or usb version, but I don't have one computer to tivoize. |
| [19:32] | <vmarks> | it's going to be ugly. |
| [19:32] | <vmarks> | it is. |
| [19:32] | <vmarks> | the only advantage to hdhomerun is the networking. |
| [19:32] | <vmarks> | and you may as well look at a Hava instead then. |
| [19:33] | <vmarks> | hava isn't dual tuner, but it is also HD. |
| [19:33] | * JohnDesigner googles hava | |
| [19:34] | <JohnDesigner> | hmm, so Hava is Slingbox without the lockdown? |
| [19:35] | <vmarks> | :) |
| [19:35] | <JohnDesigner> | crud. |
| [19:35] | <vmarks> | am I a good resource yet? |
| [19:35] | * JohnDesigner looks at his slingbox pro with disgust | |
| [19:36] | <JohnDesigner> | vmarks: indeed you are, have been, and always shall be |
| [19:40] | <JohnDesigner> | if the only real hassle with hd homerun is the setup being a pain, I can deal with that in order to have the dual tuners. |
| [19:41] | <JohnDesigner> | vmarks: any other notable post-setup shortcomings of the hd homerun? |
| [19:52] | <JohnDesigner> | vmarks: nm. crud again. HD hoemrun would need to support cableCARD or Ir blaster for me to use it fully as I imagine |
| [19:53] | <vmarks> | yeah. and it doesn't. |
| [19:53] | <vmarks> | although if you had hdhomerun near a cable box, you could use any IR blaster that beyondtv supports. |
| [19:53] | <vmarks> | usb style. |
| [19:53] | <vmarks> | which negates the point of the homerun being networked. |
| [19:53] | <vmarks> | hava has ir blasters built in. |
| [19:55] | <JohnDesigner> | +1 for Hava |
| [20:02] | <JohnDesigner> | I wonder if Hava will allow me to trade them a slingboxPro even-up. |
